EASTERN MAN
LIKES PRAIRIE
mad Not the Slightest Conception
OF What tie Would See Here
But Says This is the Richest
Part of the Continent,

The automobile party composed
OF II. L. Powers, P. w. Green
and c. 7. Barker, of the Lewis
ton Orchards company, Attorney
E. A. Cox and w. B. Stanton,
returned yesterday afternoon
from a three days trip through
the Nez Perce and Camas Prairie
sections. The party visited prac-
tically every point on Craig
mountain and the prairies, re-
turning via Orofino and the North
Fork where the sight of the
Bruce's eddy dam was visited.
1T was my first visit to the
prairie country" said Mr.. Pow
ers, and to say that | was high
ly pleased with what | saw would
be putting it very mildly. | have
followed the crop reports, lumber
shipments and other industrial
reports from this big territory
since became interested in the
Lewiston valley but that country
must be visited to be appreciated
and it is at its best at it's present
time. My visit has surely en-
larged my estimate of Lewiston's
future.
Mr.. Barker is the manager of
the New York office of the Lew
iston Orchards company and the
trip to the prairies was made at
this time largely to allow him to
become familiar with the country
that is back of the Lewiston Or
chards in order that he may pro-
vide information to parties who
are not directly interested in
orchard lands. In discussing his
trip yesterday, Mr.. Barker said:
II have been up in the Clear
water country. Is that what you
call. it? Up where there are
miles of wheat eight or nine feet
high, for | think saw no fields
which had less than that length
of cereal grasses.
II had not the slightest con-
ception of what | was to see
when we started out in an auto
mobile last Saturday. The fact
! is that cared little what | was to
see for the Lewistonians with me
were of the sort to make one a
bit careless of other attractions.
But should | have formulated my
guesses as to what | was to look
upon | would have said it would
be a country something like AL
berta or perhaps a cross between
that and the Dakotas. What |
did see was something to make
the Canadians or the natives of
the Dakotas envious. | suppose
there is no country on this con-
tinent which is of so high a de-
gree of fertility and am sure
there is none of such a uniform
excellence. Mile after mile, and
every inch of it in cultivation,
and field after field for days of
fast driving and nothing to choose
between the one farm and the
next.
"And colours, if they could
harvest colours on Camas prairie
and sell them for their vividness,
it would be the best crop of all.
No one ever saw such yellows
and greens in the fields or such
purples or blues in the mount
aims. They tell me that every
season has a different riot of col
ors and if so | want to see it in
all of t h m" "Wednesday

Washing Butter.

ough washing upon the keeping
quality of butter, it was found in
every case that the Tactic acid
bacteria developed much more
rapidly and to greater numbers
in the washed butter as compar-
ed to butter containing a large
amount of buttermilk. The Tactic
acid germs are used by butter
makers to ripen the cream before
churning and are known as
starters. The object in using
these bacteria is to produce that
desirable flavor demanded by the
public and to insure a uniform
product from day to day. These
germs produce Tactic acid, the
acid of sour milk, and in the
elaboration of their own by-prod-
uct prevent the growth of other
undesirable germs.
In the unWashed butter, the
casein offers, food for class of
bacteria whose by-products are
undesirable in the butter. The
off-havors characteristic of sec
ond grade butter are due to these
germs. To what extent washing
will remedy this evil is still to be
determined by further expert
mentation. This much is known,
the Tactic acid germs are desir-
able and washed butter allows
them to multiply and thrive in
the butter, while the unwashed
butter shows far fewer numbers
of these germs throughout the
experiment.
The experiment was carried
out at both low and high temper
atures. The same observations
were made, with this difference,
the whole process was accelerat-
ed at the room temperature, the
greatest number of lacteria
germs appearing in five to seven
days. In the refrigerator the
maximum numbers did not ap-
pear until fourteen days.
If all the butter made on the
farms was washed better with
pure water and worked sufficient
ly to remove the buttermilk, the
quality of country butter would
be greatly enhanced.

CHAPTER XII.

Miss HaIdane Listens to a Declaration.
For some distance the automobile
sped onward. Before one of the big
wholesale buildings on lower Broad
way, now entirely dark, it suddenly
stopped in obedience to a signal from
the tonneau. A hand was laid on
Gormly's shoulder, and a voice he
knew and to which he thrilled spoke
to him.
"Mr. Gormly," said Miss Haldane,
that was the most magnificent, splen-
did, dramatic scene I ever witnessed
or participated in"
Gormly ros to his feet instantly
and faced about.
"You were there. Miss Haldane!" he
exclaimed.
Didn't you see me?" asked the girl,
a note Of disappointment in her voice.

The words were not out of hel

the street and opened the door. He

big roomy tonneau. AS Dol as the ex
change had been effected, Haldant
started up the street again.

CHAPTER X.-continued.

NOW, sir" said Gormly, you see
what our masters the people think.
They wish me to put to you a ques-
tion: such q measure comes be
fore you, will you veto it or will you
not?"
The mayor was In a dilemma, a
fearful one. He was quick enough to
see that his whole political future,
the future Of his party, practically de-
pended upon his action. II he did not
declare his purpose to veto the bill, he
and his party were doomed. If he
took some other course, they would
still have a fighting chance. The
mayor rose to the occasion.
Gentlemen" he said, my action
shall be dictated by yourselves"
Answer! Answer! No speech!"
reared the crowd.
EVERY man is entitled to his
ichance,'' said Gormly, "and I beg you
to hear"
II will pledge you my word" con-
tinued the mayor, that SO far as I
have power the issuance Of this fran
ichise shall be determined by the cleo
ton. If I am SO fortunate as to re-
ceive a majority, I shall take it as a
sign that you indorse the policy which,
with an eye single to the public inter
est, believes that it demands the
granting of this franchise to the
Gotham Freight Traction company,
which has already served you so well.
If on the contrary, my distinguished
opponent shall prevail, the matter will
be left, for his determination"

crowd.
81 will not, and I will use what infu-
ence 1 have to see that it is not pre-
scented to me-" was the answer.
Nothing" said Gormly, could be
fairer than that. The issue is clearly
and sharply drawn. If you want to
perpetuate the power of the Gotham
Freight Traction company, you have
only to re-elect the present mayor. If
you want to resume your own control
of affairs, you have only to elect me.
I don't ask you now which it shall be.
I don't want any more cheering. ]
want you to go to your homes and &c
to work. Good night"
He sank down in the automobile,
covered with perspiration and trem.
bling with excitement.
Amid tumultuous cheering and ap
%plauding, the crowd opened a line
through which the big automobile
slowly moved over toward Broadway
and then sped upward through the
night.
Connell turned to the mayor. "Shal

Curse 'em!" he cried.
Nothing would have suited thu
mayor better; but policy would no
permit.
NO." he said, 'just picket the ap
lproaches to the city hall. Let the pee
pie alone. They will dispense now"
Indeed they were already beginnin,
to break away.
