Petroleum Butter

Will the Standard Oil Company
next move result in driving dairies
and packing house butter factories
out of business? 1t is announced
that the company chemists have
discovered a way to make butter
out of petroleum.
The oil is converted into kind
of milk, which is said to possess a
larger percentage of butter fat than
cows milk. This petroleum milk
is then run through high-speed sep
arators and the butter fat is ex-
tracted. A plant to manufacture
the product for the market will be
started at once III New Jersey.
The alchemist's dream of chang
ing the baser metals into gold lacks
interest beside thesmodern chemist S
achievements in extracting useful
commercial products from petrol
cum and coal tar. The full range
of these products is doubtless a
long way from being attained, and
the wonder is that many of them
are so different from the original
including powerful drugs,
illuminants, disinfectants, preserv-
atives, dyes, etc.
Commenting on the advent of pc
troleum butter, the St. Louis Post
Dispatch points to still broader re-
suits. 1t says:
From petroleum we get axle
grease and phenac cetine, dyestufs
and monopoly, vaseline and philan-
thropy, benzine, kerosene, gasoline,
billionaires, restraint of trade, pipe
lines, tank cars, tank ships, tank
Sunday schools, sermons
and commercial precedents. So
why not butter?"

VOLUME l.
Buying Offices

In answer to Brother Kelly's article in
regard to buying Office in the last is
sue Of the Juneau Telephone, we would
simply suggest that he read the testi-
mony given last winter before the Sen
ate Investigating committee. In the
judgment of the writer it was shown be-
yOnd dispute that the electorate Of the
state was debauched. and one high Office
bought for cold cash. And then it might
be well to examine the statements Of
candidates for office filed with the county
clerk Jf Dodge county. 1t may be an ex-
ception, but in most counties, the state
ments filed certainly shows a shameful
condition Of political morals. The
writer who conducted several campaigns
as chairman Of the county committee
never expended to exceed $3.50, in sim
gle campaign and that was expended for
hall rent, posters, music, teams and
speakers. 1t was OF course, under the
regime before the great reform wave
passed over the state and candidates
were not forced to spend their antici-
pated salaries in order to be elected. 1t
was in the halycOn days of honesty and
the best men were chosen for office.

The Chicago & North Western
Adds to its TrdnSCOntinentdl
Train Service

The latest announcement Of increased
passenger service to western points is
made today by the Chicago & North
Western Ry. A new train, to be known
as the "OregOn- Washington Limited, y
will be placed in service August 22' leav-
ing Chicago at 80 a. m., daily. arriving
Portland $50, the third morning, and
landing passengers in Tacoma and
Seattle the same afternoon.
The new train will have an equipment
that includes Pullman dTawing-rOOm
sleeping cars, Pullman tourist sleeping
cars, Pullman private compartment and
observation sleeping cars, and free re-
clining chair cars. ALI of this equip
ment Is handled between Chicago and
Portland without change. These trains
have la carte dining car service of
the highest character.
This is in addition to the present ser
vice via the electric-lighted Chicago
Portland Special, and gives 70 the pub
lie the choice Of two through trains to
The North Pacific Coast, each of which
is operated on three-day schedule via
the Chicago, Union Pacific q North
Western Line.
The increased popularity of the Chica
go, Union Pacific and Northwestern
Line to Salt Lake City, the Yellowstone
Park, Portland and the Puget Sound
country, may be attributed to two prin-
cipal reasons; one is that by this route
some Of the most remarkable commercial
and agricultural development that the
West can boast of is to be seen, together
with magnificent group of scenic at
fractions which reach their climax on
the 2O0-mile trip which these trains
make along the banks of the Columbia
River from Umatilla to Portland.
The other chief reason for the heavy
travel attracted via this route is due to
the extensive publicity that has been
given to the fact that it is the only
double track, automatic safety signal line
between Chicago and the Missouri River,
and the only route operated under auto
matte safety signals from Chicago to the
Pacific Coast, while the train equipment
and service are of such perfect type as
to insure a steadily widening circle of
patronage.

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY
OF WATERFOWL, WIS

The college of the Northwestern Uni
versity of Watertown, Wis.,, will on Aug.
81 open its doors for its forty-fifth year.
Last year its enrolment was 2S3, the
number having steadily increased in the
last seven years. The faculty now con-
sists of twelve members. There is a
we'll selected library of over 5000 vol
umes. The buildings are all modern,
heated by steam or hot water and lighted
by electricity. The campus of thirty
acres offers excellent opportunities for
recreation and athletics. A new gymna-
sium is now a crying need, and friends
of the college are actively at work to
supply this want.
The institution was founded by the
Lutheran Synod of Wisconsin (German)
primarily for the purpose of giving such
young men liberal education as wish
to take up the study of theology. But
the course in the collegiate department,
modelled on the course of German gym
nasium, offers good general education
for any one of the learned professions, or
for postgraduate work at the university,
or finally is an end in itself. As yet the
English and German languages are used
as media of instruction, whereby the
student obtains thorough training both
in English and in German. How thor
Ough the work in German is can be seen
from the fact that two of the five or six
recipients of the Ottendorfor scholarship
in Germanics are graduates of North
