HISTORY THAT IS OF INTEREST
 TO ALL OF US

We seldom know the names of our real benefactors, but few inventors and chemists are fInanciers to the promoters is given the credit
 In 1883 the Ualted States granted patent rights to a young man from Chew, Switzerland, the inventor of valuable machinery now used in milk plants in this country.
 This young inventor and chemist failed to convert his staid country men to his new ideas, they were con- densing milk and preserving 1t by the addition of sugar the same as was then in practice in this country.
 The difference between Condensed Milk and Unsweetened Milk is that the former is preserved by adding sugar. while the latter is preserved merely by heat, in the eyaporating tanks under an almost perfect vac uum.
 This method of preserving milk was first conceived and brought to this country by J B. Meyenberg, a German.Swiss, and since 1883 when the first plant was installed at Hal vetla, H., canned unsweetened milk has almost displaced milk preserved with sugar.
 Later in life, this Swiss chemist turned his attention more to finance that his children might work for themselves. As Vice-President of the Alpine Eyaporated Cream Co. Mir. Meyenberg, built the first plant in California at Holster, San Benito County, and later another at Con. gales.
 Before retiring from business he Installed his son in complete charge

It was down on its knees, but was still showing lots of fight. The pie ture was enlarged by Ed.

 FINEG CITIZENS
 PAYING THE BILL

Judge Robert W. Jennings late yesterday sentenced V. R. Virch to pay a fine of S25.0O The jury had recommended clemency and the Dis. trict attorney did not ask for se- we're sentence.
 Virch, when asked if he had any thing to say, upbraided the jury for believing another witness instead of him but the court told Mir. Virch that 1t was the function Of the jury to believe the witness who, they thought, was telling the truth.
 Judge Jennings in imposing the small fine took occaGion to impress upon Virch that his action in cut ting the Coombs fence at Haines was deserving of a larger fine but inasmuch as the council of Haines seemed to be paying all Virch's eX- penses out of the taxpayers money, he did not desire to punish the citi- zens of Haines.
