BAKER WILL SOON INSTALL
MUNICIPAL LIGHTING PLANT

Baker. Ore, May s.-By the action
of the city commissioners at their ses-
sion yesterday. It was definitely de-
cided that the city will install its own
lighting plant and system. By their
votes the people of Baker decided
some time ago that It was their wish
that such a plant should be owned
and operated by the municipality, but
the defeat OF the water bonds, where
by It was intended to enlarge and ex-
tend the water system. left the COM
missioners in a quandry as to what

course to pursue, fearing that the city
did not have sufficient power to op-
crate as large plant as was needed.
This question has been settled how
ever. through the services of q COM
petent engineer. and resolution was
passed yesterday authorizing Mayor
Palmer to employ an engineer to
prepare estimates as to cost of con-
struction and proceed with the install
lation of the plant as soon as the
bonds are advertised and sold. II is
expected that the bond issue will be
authorized at the next meeting of the
commissioners which will be held
next Tuesday.

and shout that an old egg is the
elixir of life and the builder of bone
and sinew, while a fresh egg Is q
snare and a hash counter delusion.
AS proof 1t was pointed out that
when Ii Hung Chang toured the
United States he brought alolg a
case of 100-year-old eggs and that
one Of them was opened by LIS
head executioner for every meal.
They were the choicest of all Chinese
delicacies. The eggs stood the long
trip very, very well, despite their adj
vanced years, although they were en-
tirely too set in their ways to take
UP American customs.
If the price on prehistoric cackle
gourds goes up troupes of barnstorm-
ers will gather in the kale all over
the country. That is, unless the vol
unteer critics Of East Lynne" don't
get wise to themselves and realize
that they are throwing good money
away at a bunch of hams by twirling
old eggs at them.
Gee, but we'd like to own the egg

cracked to show that the world was

Abas, fresh eggs! We will not eat
you;
our smiles will greet you.
Back to storage till you're older,
Wiser, stronger, saner, colder.
We scorn your pleadings and your
tears.
Good eggs must live one hundred
years! Abas, fresh eggs!
The centenarian egg makes its bow
as the choicest food product on the
market. Only the very rich can buy
them. They are like rare vintages.
Even Vanderbilt couldn't afford
more than one omelet a la Methuse-
lah every day.
As for the plain people, they must
struggle along with less tasty and
delicate hen fruit, ranging in age
from ten to twenty-five years. How
ever, 1t is reasonable to splurge on a
pair of fifty-year-old eggs when en-
tertaining ones f1ancee or an out-of-
town customer.
All this topsy- turvying of the egg
situation has come about through
the testimony of scientists in re-
cent test case against frozen eggs at
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1913-07-22

Trenton, N. j. Professor Sedgwick,
a laboratory expert. testified that the
whole system of Judging eggs by
their age was wrong, as well as being
unjust to the old and infirm mem
bers Of the oval tribe. He declared
that a fresh egg is not SO good as
one which has been Kept long time
under congenial and refined sur
roundings. A fresh egg, the profess
sor indicated is fresh In every sense
OF the word, mentally, socially and
otherwise.
An egg which has reached it's ma
jority, on the ether hand, has dig
nifty and poise and is chuck full Of
nutrition and well digested facts. He
added that the older an egg got the
better it got and. unlike human
beings, 1t didn't have to exercise
fiercely to get strong.
The prosecution in the New Jersey
case charged that the confiscated
frozen eggs had been ioafing around
Trenton since the night the Hessians
