ROGUE VALLEY CREAMERY
BUILDING NOW READY

The Rogue Valley creamery is now
almost ready to commence the coin
ing of alfalfa into your Uncle Sam
ueps legal tender, and within a few
DAYS the institution will be turning
out the yellow nuggets in pound and
two-pound chunks to be exchanged
for other yellow ones with the mark
of U. S. upon them.
The creamery building proper is
completed, and all the machinery is
in place and will be ready to put IN
motion with the setting Of the motors
and connecting of steam pipes. The
structure is 3Ox5O feet in size, the
exterior being Of neat bungalow APP
pearance, with cement plastered
walls. The interior is arranged with
two features always in view, the first
cleanliness and attention to sanitary
conditions, and the other ease and
economy OF labor. Except for the
office which is entered from the
front, all the floors OF the building
are OF cement, and the walls are &c
mented for a height OF four feet.
Above this the walls are plastered so
that there is absolutely no stopping
place for filth or dirt within the
building. Steam from a hose can
be turned in any OF the work rooms
and the walls and floors washed
clean in a few moments. All the
floors drain to a common sewer.
The cream will be handled by
gravity, no pumps being employed In
the building. The cream wagon will
drive upon an elevated platform at
the west side of the house, and from
there the fluid will find its way to the
storage tanks and then to the great
churn of 500 pounds capacity by
gravity.
An eight-horse power boiler has
been installed to supply the needed
steam for sterilizing and for other
purposes, and power for the plant is
to be supplied by a ten-horse power
electric motor. The cold storage
room is 9x13 feet in dimensions, and
a modern compressor is installed to
furnish the arctic weather. This
compressor is the same as is used in
ice-making plans. Place is reserved
in one of the rooms for an ice cream
making plant but this will not be in
stalled till another season, the ice
cream days now being near their
close for the present summer The
making of ice cream will another
year be one of the important revenue
producers for the creamery.

Bull Moose Obduracy

From the New YORK sun.
AS il is almost a year before the
nomination or selection of candidates
for Congress will be necessary the
decision of the Progressives in WASH
ington ito launch Immediately
movement to put Bull Moose candi-
dates in the field in ABS districts
should not be regarded tragically. 1t
is true a Progressive congressional
campaign committee has been for
mally named, and that the Hon. Vic
tor, Murdock's orif1amme burns con-
spicuously in the van. Moreover,
he has put out a sort of ultima
tum:
The Progressives in Congress have
never favored or even thought seri-
ously of amalgamation. There isn't
ANYTHING to it, and we purpose to
go ahead and wage a Progressive
campaign in all the congressional dis
tricts next year. There is nothing
in amalgamation, so far as we are
concerned. Our minds have long been
made up on that point.
This is rood politics on the theory
that to negotiate you must have
something to offer, in this case, that
| is to say, the influence of an organi-
cation. The voting strength of the
Progressives has declined since the
Presidential election, but 1t is not
negligible. More than 1000 votes
were cast in the Third Maine district
on September 8, and Progressive
policies, whatever they may be, are
still something to conjure with. OBJ
viously, however, the tail cannot wae
the dog.
The Sixty-fourth Congress will be
Democratic by another overwhelming
majority unless the regular Republi-
cans and the Progressives sound a
truce and form an offensive and de-
fensive alliance. Overtures have al
ready been made by leaders of both
factions, and however stern and I'M
relenting the decree Of isolation
seems now forlorn hopes are not at
| tractive, and they are very impracti-
cable. Is it too much to conjecture
that the decision to put up candi-
dates in ABS Congress districts may
not be final2

frowned and rustled his paper. They
had heard it a thousand times.
SO had the Brakeman thousand
times too many. and something in
him suddenly revolted. His eye
caught an item in the paper he had
picked up off the floor. and without
a seconds hesitation, and in the
same official tone he had just been
using. he called out:

cooler"
Sensation The car boiled with it.
Men put down their papers and
looked around at the disappearing
back What had happened? Was
the brakeman crazy? Or was this a
new feature of railroad service in
stalled by an up-to-dat manage
ment? Men looked across the aisle
at each other and laughed, some
comfortably. some uneasily.
The little episode accumulated a
significance all out of proportion to
its real significance. 1t meant that
it was actually possible for a man
who was part of an utterly mechani-
cal routine suddenly to come to life
and to inject into it something ir-
regular and whimsical. If he did
it, why not others? The thing was
pleasing in one way, but it was dis
turbing in another. Suppose the man
in the switch tower should play leap
frog?
That brakeman filled hundred sub
urban homes with conversation and
speculation. and he filled some
breasts in that car with awe. There
is comfort in sheer routine. after
