II now looks as though the

had made a mistake when they
claimed that Frank Marlin, the
man who had a leg taken off by

of the Spangle bank robbers.
A dispatch from Spokane says
that all efforts of the police and

MAIL ORDER HOUSES
Bill Has Been introduced In Con-

A bill has been introduced i'm
Congress to compel mail-order
houses to pay a tax on the
amount of business they do in
the various states into the treas
ury Of the different states to be
devoted toward meeting the ex-
penses of the state.
Numerous petitions have been
forwarded to Congress asking
the passage Of the bill and one of
the signers of the petition has
received the following commun-
ication from Congressman Smith
in regard to it.
Gentlemen:
A petition upon which your

Germs selling by mail to pay a tax

Treasurer of such state, to be de
voted as are other taxes, toward
meeting the various expenses
of the county and state govern
ment, and in the construction of
roads, etc. have taken great
pleasure in introducing this peli
tiOn in the House, for reference
to the Committee on Interstate
Commerce where the bill refer

alton.
The proposed measure meets
with my hearty approval. There
IS no good reason why the pro-
prietors of mail order houses.
who are enriching themselves at
the expense of the merchants i'm
our own and other states, should
not be required to contribute a
portion Of their profits toward
the taxes which are to be raised.
1t is clearly within the province
of the Government, in my Opin-
ion TO impOcse such a tax, and

Milk Shippers
Are Warned

Capital News: James H. Wal
lis, dairy. food and sanitary COM
missioner, has issued a circular
letter to milk shippers and con-
sumers and ice cream manufac-
turers, calling attention to chap
ter 1870, session laws Of 1914. This
law makes it illegal to return any
receptacle used for holding milk,
cream or ice cream until such
receptacle has been Thoroughly
washed, cleaned or scalded."
Commissioner Wallis says that
many cases of ptomaine poison
ing are directly traceable to milk
and ice cream delivered in cans
and bottles that have not been
properly cared for, and that if
such vessels are washed with boil
ing water Immediately after being
emptied and where possible allow
ed to stand inverted in the sun, it
will go a long way toward reduc-
ing the danger to a minimum.
Where cans are allowed to
stand any length of time without
being washed, the action of bac-
terra forms a corrosive sediment
that gets into the seams and etch
ings of the cans, and the poison
Gus germ is then not easy to kill
even under a high pressure of
steam.
A copy of thecircular has been
sent from Mr.. Wallis Office to j.
W. Rogers, superintendent OF the
American Express company at
Salt Lake City, calling attention
to the many containers that have
been returned tothe express COM
pany for delivery without being
properly washed, and asking the
company's cooperation with the
slate and federal attempts to pro-
tect thepublic health. In this let
ter Mr.. Wallis says:
while express companies are
not responsible for the enforce
ment'of the law, know that they
are interested i'm law enforcement
and l would be very much pleased
to have you instruct all your
agents i'm this state not toreceivo
any can or receptacle used for th,
transportation or conveyance ol
milk, cream OF ice cream unless
cleaned, and further unless the
lid is securely fastened upon sucl
receptacle"

optimistic in regard to the cream
cry and dairying in general AZ
present the st. Maries creamery
is getting the cream from about
three hundred COWS. It has only
been running about two months
and its subscribers are steadily
increasing their milk output.
Nearly all the cream is receiv-
ed at present from the ST. Joe
valley and from Santa, but the
Milwaukee has a rate as far as BO
will Of 10 cents for a five gallon
can, i8 cents for an eight, and 20
cents for ten. This would pro-
bably be extended TO Elk River if
demand warranted. The present
creamery plant can handle the
milk from 800 cows making about
one thousand pounds of butter a
day and the management hopes
TO haveit working 10 capacity by
next summer. The building of
silos TO furnish feed more sue
culent than dry hay is necessary
to make diarying profitable The

of butter fat at ST. Maries is pa

average is % cents. At that fig
