packed goods are to be trusted as

the company an injustice, and shall
always be willing to take the goods
hearing the name of Libby with the

those bearing the name of Swift; for
know from personal observation
that they are clean and wholesome.
All of Swifts meats are inspected
most closely-once when coming
alive into the pens, again when be-
ing sold to the buyers. again when
slaughtered. both as to the glands
Of the throat and head and the

when the cured meats are being

A Prosperous Trip

ID. N. Byerlee returned to ST.
Johns Sunday evening from three
months business trip through Iowa.
Illinois and Nebraska in the interest
OF the Portland Collpsible BOX Co
There he visited relatives he had
not seen for 80 years or more. He
was not fascinated with the coun.
try and thinks there is nothing he
has seen any where nearly equal to
Western Oregon. There had been too
much rain In Western Iowa and
Eastern Nebraska, and that as a
consequence the corn crop was GO
ing to be very poor, and as II was
still raining there was a prospect Of
the splendid grain and hay crop be-
ing ruined. There have been bounti-
full harvests during the fifteen years
since he left that country and the
prosperity that these conditions bring
is evident on every hand. Splendid
farmhouses, fine stock, good roads,
thriving and rapidly growing cities
and towns greet one everywhere.
His old home town, Abba, Iowa, has
doubled her self In size and popula-
ton two or three times during these
years. Chicago he had not visited
in 20 or 80 years and he was un-
able to see a single old familiar
landmark. They had all been re.
moved and their sites covered with
modern skyscrapers. The city has
been extended out In all directions
taking In the small towns what used
to be two to ten miles out in the
country SO that It Is now one solid
city covering more than the whole
Of Crook county. Even Lake Michi.
gan has not been spared. but the
lake front has been filled In for more
than quarter of n mile out from
what used to be the water front, in
the old days, and a move is now on
foot to fill In out TO the breakwater.
a quarter OF a mile or more farther
and make OF the new territory thus
acquired an immense park along
Michigan avenue: more than a half
mile wide and a mile and half
long. Michigan avenue is being
25 feet it's entire length and
into n link OF a system of
bouleyards which win be 40 or 80
miles In length all within tho city
Of Chicago. Il ls wonderful city
and bids fair to make the predictions
" J. J. HIN true: that within 80
years that city would be the largest
,ity In the world. The trip was
very prosperous one. and MIR. Byerlee
succeeded In placing some fine now |
for the Collapsible Box Co.
Iic expects soon 10 make another
rip TO Chicago and other Eastern
titles for the same company. His
'ecent illncss has reduced his ayoir'

Local Freight Wanted

The Commercial club held an In.
tcresting meeting Wednesday evening
and the principal theme for discus
sion was local freight service for
st. Johns. A mattress factory Is
desirous of locating here, but II is
rather contingent upon securing To-
cal freight service and unless this
Is assured there is no hope of ac-
quiring the new industry. A Commit.
tee composed of Ed. l.. Stockton, o.
p. Wolcott and w. A. Bennett was
appointed to confer with the manu-.
facturers along the railroad and the
business men of the city TO ascer-
tain how much freight could be
guaranteed the railroad company pro.
vided they give the city local service.
The o. X. & n. Co. promised to pro-
vide local freight II reasonable
amount of business Is guaranteed
them, and II is believed the com.
mittee will be able to secure this.
