Loss No. 3-Richness

mkrn-n's milk separates quickly. The butter
fat rises and the solids fall. Milk dipped from q
can is never whole-milk When that milk gets to
the cooking it Is rarely more than half-mIlk.
Van Camps is the Whole-Inilk. The milk fresh
from the cow is put into a copper vacuum. There,
IN moderate heat, we evsporate two-thirds of the
water.
The milk as it comes you is thick thick

for coffee and cereals.
In cooking, this milk gives to milk dishes an
amazing richness and favor. Not because of any
addition, for add nothing at all. This is simply
the whole, rich milk. But whole, rich milk will
surprise you-you who used to milk wagon
milk. A single milk dish made with Van Camps
will forever convert you to the Of this milk.

with simple physiological laws. When
the first aging marks appear-wrin-
kles, baggy cheeks, neck and chin
we realize that the cause is a loosen
ing OF the skin and softness OF the
tissue underneath. We know the
cause must be removed. Instead Of
laying on pastes we send TO the drug
store for an ounce Of saxolite and
n half pint Of witch hazel, mix them
and battle face, neck and hands in
the solution. We know this tightens

Loss No. 5-Money

The strangest fact Is that this premier milk
from high-bred cows, from model dairies-sterile,
rich and pure-costs less than milkman's milk.
We save you the cost of the daily delivery.
That costs more than the milk. BY evaporating
the water we save transportation. And
you all the waste. In the average home the
of Van Camps cuts milk bills right in two.
Because of these facts. we are now milking
$1,000 cows daily to supply the armies of people
who are using Van Camps.

Your uliIkmans milk isn't sterile. There are

children, in very large part. is caused by these
germs in milk.

protection.

INDUSTRIAL development OF The STATE
STATE TAX LEVY Le MILLS.
Last Years 2.2-Levy viii Raise
About ST.. $50, 900.

Salem-The state tax commission
has announced the state tax levy for
the ensuing year 1.6 mills. Last
years levy was 2.2 mills, and the de-
crease is 0.6 mill. The amount that is
estimated to be required to run the
state government this year and to be
raised by this levy is, in round num-
bers, 81, $50, 900, as against 81, 528, 900
in 1910. The total assessed valuation
for this year is, in round numbers,
$844.000, 900, as against $694, 600, 600.
The state board of equalization has as
sessed the corporations of the state,
not wholly in any one county, and
therefore not assessable by counties, .at
1882, 800, 900, but in apportioning this
sum among the counties it will be re-
duced to about $97, 200, 900, in order to
correspond to the assessments lin the
various counties.
The apportionment of the Estate tax
between counties, according to assessed
valuations of the respective counties
as equalized by the state board of
equalization, will be completed soon.
On the present assessed valuations,
1925 of mill levy for the normal
school at Monmouth, voted by the peo-
pie last November, will produce $685.

BIG DEVELOPMENT SEEN.
Wonderful Waterpower and Irrigation
Work Planned for Oregon.

Salem Wonderful waterpower and
irrigation development is indicated in
the report of the state engineer, which
has just been turned over to the state
printer. Applications for permits to
appropriate public waters, since the
water code went into effect, total
LILO and the estimated cost of the
proposed works, for which appropria-
tion of public waters is asked, is
placed at over $50, 900, 900 by the en-
gineer. The total amount of irriga-
tion work constructed prior to 1902
amounted to but 50, 900, 900 and it is
believed Sc, 900, 600 would cover all of
the investments which were made be-
tween that time and the time the new
code went into effect.
Authorization Of the construction of
l, 129 miles of main canals for the irri-
cation of 1886, 762 acres of arid land
and the development of 72, 598 horse
power are some of the features of de-
velopment work, as well as the con-
struction of Ga reservoirs.
In other portions of his report the
engineer shows what has been done
from time to time in the adjudication
of water rights and matters incident
to the work of the board of control, all
of which have been reported from time
to time.

An Experts Opinion.

Professor James Withycombe, di-
rector of the United States govern
ment experiment station at the Oregon
Agricultural college, gives his opinion
of the future of agriculture in this
state as follows:
"Oregon, with its 81, 459, 200 acres
of land, offers rural homes for great
number of people. Less than 4,000,-
600 acres a are cultivated at this time,
while the farming land of the state
represents approximately 10000, 900
acres. The state has great possibil-
tiles along agricultural lines. When
all the available farming land of Ore
gon is properly utilized, it will yield
to the channels of trade, $500, 900, 900
annually"

SUE STEAMERTRUST
Government Will Co After Big
Transatlantic Lines.
All Rivals Driven Off Sea or Into
Combine-Ports May Be
Closed to Ships.

New York, Jan. 5.-The Federal
government brought suit today in the
United States Circuit court under the
Sherman anti-trus law against thir-
teen of the principal Transatlantic
carriers, which are estimated to con-
troll ninety per cent. of the steerage
traffic, worth to them $55, 5,000,0 900 a
year. Twelve officers of the defendant
companies, all resident in America,
are named as co-defendants.
These companies, the government
charges, entered into an illegal contract
February 5, 1880, at London, Eng, by
which they constituted themselves
the Atlantic conference, with power to
apportion all traffic pro rata, impose
heavy fines on members of the con-
ference for violation of any article of
agreement and wage competition
against all lines outside the confer
ence.
AS a result, it is alleged, the Rus
sian volunteer fleet, plying between
New York and Libau, was driven out
of business and the Russian American
line was forced to make terms with
the conference and enter its member
ship.
Suit was brought by Henry A. Wise,
United States district attorney, act
ing under instructions from Attorney
General Wickersham.
In its petition the government prays
the court to "enjoin the defendants
from further agreeing, combining and
to injure or destroy the bus
mess of any person or corporation en-
gagged in the business of carrying
steerage passengers between points in
the United States and Europe.
Further, that each, every and all
the defendant steamship lines be for
bidden either to enter or clear any of
their vessels at or from the port of
New York or any other port of entry
in the United States, or any of its pos
so long as they shall continue
to operate under the aforesaid alleged
combination or conspiracy"

SENATOR ELKlNS DEAD.
Prominent Leader in Congress Pass

es After Long illness.
Washington. Jan. 5.-Senator Ste
phen B. Elkins, of West Virginia, died
at midnight last night. At his bedside
were his wife, his daughter Katherine,
and four sons, David, Richard, Stephen
and Blaine, and the physicians.
Death was due to septicemia or blood
poisoning. He was conscious until
within half hour of death.
In the early evening there were per-
sistent rumors in Washington that the
Senator's condition had become grave,
and fears were expressed that he
might not live through the night. The
Elkins family, however, we're hopeful
to the last and to the numerous inquir-
ers who poured in at the Elkins home
encouraging responses were given.
Though no funeral arrangements
have been announced, it is probable
that Mr.. Elkins will be buried at Ell
kins, W. Va.
During the larger part of his service
in the senate Mr. Elkins was chairman
of the important committee on inter-
state commerce. AS head of this com
mittee he had charge of the Hepburn
rate regulation bill Of 1907 and of the
administration bill of 1910. A rail-
road builder and owner himself, Mr..
Elkins had an intimate knowledge of
all questions affected by this legisla-
tion.
He was the outspoken champion of
the bill of 1910 and, as such, fought
for its passage night and day for
months. Probably the longest speech
ever delivered by the West Virginia
senator was made in its support.
