Euen Though the
Town is Dry

It was predicted by many that the
1915 Roundup would not be the same
good old wild west show that previous
crowds has witnessed. The reason
given was that John Barleycorn had
teen buried in Oregon and much of
the spirit at the show was prompted
by the presence of friend John.
This, however, has been dispelled
by reason of the enthusiasm at the
show this year. True in former years
the saloons did such a land
office business that mixed drinks
we're not served Bartenders by
the dozens were busy from early
morning until night passing out
whiskey and beer to the line Of four
or five deep. Many even predicted
that these rooms then occupied by
the saloon would be vacant when the
crowd arrived this year.
The Roundup visitor today finds
rot a vacant place and office room at
any Of the places formerly occupied
by the saloon. Office room is at a
premium. The brewery doomed to be
diobanded, is running at full blast and
il ls rumored that its owner IS maxi
ing more money than he ever did dur
ing the wet regime.
At these same places where last
ycar the folks were singing How
Drv I Am" they are drinking soft
dr.nl,s which taste surprising like
teer and have every quality OF that
beverage except the "klck." In
other former saloons we find attrac-
tive tea rooms. confectionery stores,
o,ocery stores and even an iuto sales
roam.

character Of the territory north Of the
Columbia as the special reservation OF
the Hudsons Bay Company is thus in
large measure preserved. A second
characteristic Of the union is -sug-
gested by the comment of McLough-

Preserving Foods.

new method has been discovered.
says an English paper, for preserving
various food products, especially milk
powder, the Idea being based upon
placing the substance in sealed ves-
sci or packing case with inert gas, so
that this, latter prevents the usual
spelling of contents by the action of
the air In the French patented pro-
cess the milk powder is packed in
metal boxes Of convenient size, which
are entirely sealed except for a pin
hole that is left at the top. A number
of such boxes are put in chamber
and the air is exhausted by means Of
an air pump. When this operation Is
finished valves are opened which allow
nitrogen to enter the chamber and fill
up the several boxes. When opening
up the chamber the boxes are quickly
removed and the pinhole soldered be-
fore an appreclable amount of air has
time TO enter. In this way the con-
tents of the boxes are kept In an at
mosphere of inert gas, and the process
is thus practical from an industrial
standpoint.

sick man.

you four dollars for the first visit and
two dollars for each one after that"
The old fellow soon afterward

admitted to the consulting room
planked down two dollars, remarking: :
well, doctor, here l am again"
The physician calmly picked up the
money and put 1t In a drawer, which
