THE llOmsTSG OREGOSJXS, TUESDAY; JANTABY 1, 3895. 19 bridge in Arizona, h:ilt by the same com pany. Ho made all the surveys for the line of the proposed Astoria & Portland railroad on what is known as the Nehalem Valley route. His first work on the Bull Run system was on the pipe line itself, but afterward he was appointed to the important position he has since filled so acceptably. J. Q. JAMIESON. Mr. J. Q. Jamleson is a native of Penn sylvania. He studied engineering In the Western university of that state, came to Oregon in 1S78, and In the following year, on the organization of the Oregon Rail way & Navigation Company, entered its employ as topographer. He soon became an assistant engineer in charge of a sec tion on construction, and until the sus pension of work on the Portland & Puget Sound railroad, three years since, was con tinuously In the employ of either the O. R. & K. Co., the Northern Pacific Railroad J-QJamieson. Photo by McAlpln & Lamb. Company or the Union Pacific, in charge of location or construction of various parts of their lines in the Northwest. He has since made surveys for several rail way projects In Oregon, Washington and California, and on January 1 a year ago entered the employ of the city as assistant engineer in charge of grading and bridg ing for the eastern end of the pipe line, which position he held until the comple tion of the line. J. F. CASE. Mr. Case lias had large experience as a practical engineer, and his special knowledge of the field of Western Ore gon was one of his best recommendations for his appointment on the staff of en gineers on the Bull Run pipe line. Mr. Case Is a native of Columbus, Wis., J.FCflSE.. where he was born September 22, 1868. He took the high school course at La Crosse, from which school he graduated Jn 18S5. He was subsequently employed as rodman and leveler on the construction of the Chicago, Burllrgton & Southern railroad. Ho entered the university of Wisconsin as a special student of civil engineering, and after completing the course he was employed first by the St. Paul & Duluth railroad on the survey for that line from St. Paul to Omaha. Mr. Case came to Portland In July, 1SSS. His first work here wsis as assistant engineer of the Northern Pacific Terminal Company. He subse- qunntly did engineering work in the em ploy of the government at The Dalles, and he was the engineer of the Madison street bridge spanning the Willamette xiver at Portland, now one of the most Important thoroughfares across the river within the city limits. He was afterwaid engineer of the Metropolitan Street Rail way Company, and It was under his direc tion that the Riverside extension of that line was built. He also filled the same position on the East Side suburban rail ways. He had charge of the construction of the electric line to Oregon City, some 12 miles south of Portland. During tl.e summer of 1893 Mr. Case was in charge of the construction work on the Bull Run pipe line, from Grant's Butte to the Sandy river, and in March lest he was appointed assistant engineer In charge of reservoirs 3, 4 and S at City Tark. Mr. Case has been prominently connect ed with the Oregon National Guard, and he Is now the first lieutenant of his com pany. He will make Portland his perma rcnt home, and the reputation he has al leady earned here assures him a most prosperous future. S. C. IRVING. As the strength of a chain is that of Us weakest link. &o the life of a pipe line is determined by the care with which the S.C.Irving. Pfctto b McAJpm & Lamb. jelnts of the pipe are protected from the destructive influence of rust and corro sion. In order to secure the greatest pro tection in this particular, the specifica tions of the Bull Run pipe line called for a liberal application of P. & B. paint to all joints, and. should abrasions occur in the coating of the pipe, to the pipe itself. lBgneers are in a great measure opposed to specifying patented articles, and Colonel Smith only did so after thoroughly Investi gating the merits of "P. &B." both by prac tical tests made by himself and covering several veers' time and by correspondence with the leading water-works engineers of the United States. The water gates of the reservoirs, the air-valves and man holes of the pipe line are painted with "P. & B." It is a California invention, and Is manufactured solely by the Parafflne Paint Company, of 118 Battery street, San Francisco. Mr. S. C. Irving, a former res ident of Portland, whose portrait Is pub lished above, is manager of the company. RICHARD KEATINGE. Richard Keatinge, superintendent of concrete construction on the Bull Run system, was born In England, receiving Ms education at a technical school under the patronage of the British government. He has devoted the best years of his life to concrete work in all its phases, .and many of the most noted bHildings In" the United States, whose walls, floors and ral. to, i; fs .$ $Hm MZ&. roots, as well as ornaments, have been constructed entirely of concrete, have been erected under his supervision, name ly: The United States torpedo magazine on Goat Island, in San Francisco bay; the Borax works of San Francisco; the Iceland Stanford museum; the girls' dormitory of the Stanford university, and others. The museum building is the largest concrete building: In the world, and Is regarded as a marvel of constructive skill, massive and classical In outline, and in every way Imposing in appearance. In all these buildings the improved methods and ap pliances invented and patented by E. I. Ransome, of Chicago, were used, and after their completion, two years ago, Mr. Keatlnge removed to Portland as agent for the patented methods. In which the combination of concrete and twisted iron plays so important a part. Here the firm of which he is a member has had a marked success, and last spring, when the water committee adopted the plans of the consulting engineer for build ing the dams of concrete, Mr. Keatinge was appointed superintendent of concrete construction, on the recommendation of Colonel Isaac TV. Smith, chief engineer, and James D. Schuyler, consulting engi neer. During the month of June Mr. Keatinge devoted his time to the organiza tion of the force, and the extraordinary rapidity with which the work was pushed from that time forward was largely the result of the good judgment displayed In the selection of foremen to take imme diate charge of the minor details. Of these, the principal ones were: P. Stan ley, in charge at reservoir No. 1; G. Clark, at reservoir No. 2; Ph. Plattenberg, at res ervoir No. 3; and J. Hall, at reservoir No. A, besides about 20 subforemen. The rapid ity of the concrete work is without paral lel on this coast, as indeed this great work surpasses all concrete construction in the Northwest. The payroll of men on con crete work has reached as high as $40,000 per month; some 42,000 barrels of cement have been used, and all this enormous mass of material has been handled and put in place since the 13th day of June, when the first shovelful was laid in reser voir No. 3. The Ransome patent construc tion has been used throughout, with some special adaptations due to the inventive genius and skill of Mr. Schuyler, and it is a matter of general remark that the work is of the highest class, notwithstanding which fact the cost has been below the estimate per cubic yard, although circum stances have rendered it necessary to put in a much greater quantity than was originally estimated. EMERY OLIVER, ASSISTANT ENGI NEER. Mr. Emery Oliver's first engineering work was with Portland's city surveyor in 1SS2. He next became connected with the engineering department of the O. R. & N. Co., and continued In the employ of this company and its successor, the Union Pacific railway, until 1891. He was in charge of the construction of the Union Pacific Company's extensive terminal yards, depot buildings and improvements at Spokane until their completion. After leaving the employ of the Union Pacific, he was engineer in charge of the location surveys for the California Midland rail way, and later was assistant engineer in charge of the location of a part of the line of the San Francisco & Salt Lake railroad. He was also in charge of the location and construction of the portage road at The Dalles for the Columbia Railway & Navi gation Company. Three years ago Mr. Oliver formed a co partnership with Mr. H. D. Gradon, the present Portland superintendentof streets, for the purpose of engaging in general en gineering work. Thi3 has since that time been one of the leading engineering firms of the city. Mr. Oliver's connection with the city water works has been as assist- E.ME.HY 0L1V6R Photo by McAlpin & Lamb. ant engineer in direct charge of seven miles of the 33-inch steel main from Grant's butte to Mount Tabor, six miles of the 32-inch cast-iron main from Mount Tabor to the City Park, the submerged pipe line across the Willamette river, six mile of distributing mains on the East Side, and reservoirs Nos. 1 and 2 at Mount Tabor. This work Is among the most im portant on the entire Bull Run system of water works, and It has been handled un der Mr. Oliver's direction in the same careful manner that he does everything Intrusted to his charge. EVERETT M. BOYLE. Like many of the highly successful en gineers of the United States today, Mr. Everett M-Bsyle. Boyle is a native of England. He was born In Yorkshire in ISIS. He received a thorough education in his mother country, after which he immediately commenced the practice of his profession as a draughtsman. He has worked on many of the groat engineering works of England and the United States, and he brought with him to the Importsnt position he nas held as draughtsman on the Bull Run system the great experience which only years of practical work can afford. For 10 years Mr. Boyle was engaged RKeatinge! gjp successfully as a government surveyor la England. The requirements of an appli cant for any position in the engineering corps of England are very high, and any man who has held srch a position carries with him through life a most valuable recommendation of ris abilities. He held an Important position on the Liverpool water-works system located at AVyrn wydd. North Wales. He was subsequently construction engineer and bridge man on the Chicago & Northwestern railroad. He worked as a draughtsman on the Cana dian Pacific railway at London. Canada. He next held an important position as draughtsman with Hubert Vischer, en gineer of government forests in Cali fornia, and on the Atchison, Topeka z Santa Fe Railroad Company. He was with the Riverside Water Company of California; he was employed for a time in the San Francisco city engineer's office; he was on the government surveys under Major Powell; he held the highly respon sible position of chief draughtsman in the city engineer's office at Tacoma; he was employed on the water-works system at Vancouver, B. C, one of the most ex pensive systems of water works in the Northwest; he helped to establish the Seattle university site, and, during the continuance of work on the great Bull Run water-works system at Portland he has been employed on this Important undertaking. Mr. Boyle comes from a good family, his father. Major Alexander Boyle, hav ing for years been connected with the corps of engineers of the British army. He has had every advantage in his chosen profession, and he is perhaps today one of the most competent draughtsmen In the United States. J. S. JACKSON. Mr. J. S Jackson has been in charge of all asphalt work on the reservoirs of the Bull Run water-works plant. Mr. Jack son is a gentleman who has had the ad vantage of gaining both technical skill of a high order and much practical knowl edge in this special class of work, and he has been prominently connected with the construction of some of the most extensive reservoir systems of the West. Mr. Jackson is a native of California. He early identified himself with the Alca traz Asphalt Company of San Francisco and is now one of the most trusted em ployes of that company. Since he has been engaged by this company he has directed work in which the high grade of Alcatraz asphalt, supplied only by this concern, was used, and this work has in cluded reservoir building, ditch lining, street paving, laying sidewalks, and nu merous other kinds of construction work in which thid asphalt now plays such an important part. Mr. Jackson has not only had full charge of all asphalt work in connection with the construction of the Bull Run system, but he also had charge of all the brick work on reservoir No. 2 at Mount Tabor. Alcatraz asphalt is nature's own product, and it is singularly free from coal tar, petroleum residuum and other deleterious substance found in bituminous rock. The high grade of this asphalt is no less re sponsible for the highly successful results obtained by Mr. Jackson in his work on the Bull Run system than Is the special skill and ability of this competent gentle man who directed this work. He has de voted his entire time to the prosecution of work on the reservoirs since the first ap plication of asphalt coating was made about three months ago, and during that time he has made his headquarters at Portland. His regular business address is 22S Crocker building, San Francisco, where he will be located after he has finished his important engagement with the Port land water works committee. THE COMING BOOK. Lewis & Dryden'.s Marine History. The marine history of the Northwest Is a story teeming with interest to all who feel a pride in the development of our great commonwealth. It is a story of the rapid transformation of deckhands and common mariners Into millionaires; it is a story of plain facts, affording more PORTLAND it ASTORTA HAIL STEAMER, 1SZ3. thrilling interest than the glamor of ro mance and fiction can throw over any other subject pertaining to the Northwest; a story of ships that never returned; of awful disasters to steam and sail craft on river, sound and ocean; of steamers that made more money than they could carry: of old-time sailing craft that could outrun the steamers; fcf scores of other subjects, the bare mention of which awakens Inter esting memories. The arrangement of these stories, se cured from reliable data and costing years of labor and thousands of dollars, is now nearing completion, and will soon be issued by the Lewis: Dryden Printing Company of Portland. The book Is profusely illus trated with engravings not only of the old-time marine men, but with hundreds of pioneer vessels, including the steamers Beaver, Multnomah, Otter, Lot Whltcomb, Wilson G. Hunt, Carrie Ladd. Columbia and others of similar importance. OREGON CRACKER CO. Enterprise and Kueriry Have Placed It in the Lead. The Oregon Cracker Company is one of the most successful concerns engaged in this line of business on the Pacific coast. From a modest effort, in which the initial steps were taken but a few years ago, they have acquired a trade second to none In the Northwest, con trolled safely by the high standard of their goods. To their already extensive plant, they have during the past year added a complete set of machinery for manufacturing all kinds of Italian paste, such as macaroni, vermicelli, etc. The factory is located at 49 North Front street. A few years ago the building which they now occupy was considered sufficiently large, but the business has grown to such proportions that the premises are now too small to allow the company to handle Its increasing trade in as satisfactory a manner as the officers of the company wish. The Lnivliolosome 'White Oyster"' Fail. New York Sun. Several of the journals that are devoted to the things we eat are proclaiming vig orously against the "white oysters" which are In such large demand at the fashion able up-town restaurants. Nobody knows exactly where the idea- started, unless :t took root in a belief In the feminine brain that everything that is white is pure; but It Is a fact that women have made un usual demands during the past few sea sons for oysters that were white, and re jected those that were yellowish or brown as being unfit to eat. Two of the most popular restaurants up-town have made a point of serving small Blue Points en half shell, packed in ice. tne oysters in al most every Instance lookjng as white as snow. They look far more palatable and delicate than the regulation oysters, but experts declare them Injurious in the highes-t degree. Salt water, which is the natural element of the oyster, gives it a yellowish tinge. To produce the white color the dealers throw the oysters into fresh water when they turn white, be come abnormally fat and die. Some of the Fulton-market dealers class them as dis eased oysters- It is not likely, however, that a little detail of this sort will have any effect upon the fashionable demand for the white oyster. S1GHTLYBURIALSP0TS THE ATTRACTIVE CEMETERIES OF RIVERVIEW AND LOXE Fill. The Last Resting Places of Many "Whose Xamw Are Prominently Connectetf With Portland. NE of the most at tractive burying grounds in the United States Is Riverview cemetery, which occupies the sloping hill on the west bank of the river at a point nearly four miles south of the center of the city. It is reached by the fine ly equipped electric cars of the Portland Consolidated system and also by the well kept White House road, which winds along the river bank south from the city to Milwaukle, six miles distant. This thoroughfare during the summer months is the popular drive out of Portland, and durinsr the long, cool evenings of mid summer and early fall it is lined with the ENTRANCE TO RIVERVIEW fine carriages of that part of Portland's population which can afford to drive. Portland's first burial spot was located just back of wherethe stately New Mar ket theater building now stands. As the village grew the residence district en croached on the limits of this plat, and a little later In the city's history a new cemetery was located on a five-acre tract on the Macadam road, a spot that is now within the corporate limits. This tract was donated to the city by James Ter williger and Flnlce Caruthers, old-time residents of Portland. This was not suit able for a burylngSgraund, however, and after a few bodies had been buried there It was closed to further interments, and for years subsequent the one great cem etery of Portland was what is known as Lone Fir, and in which from 4000 to 5000 bodies He in peaceful repose. The First internment at Lone Fir was made in 1S13 or 1816. This beautiful spot lies on the high land, immediately- back of the mosthlekly-bunt residence por tion ofj theTSast Side district, and be yond It'.for severaliimiles stretches away the districts on which" are built some of the most attractive, suburban homes of the West. Lone FJr today Is surrounded on all rides by well-!aid-qut streets, it reposes after nightfall under the glare of hundreds of electric lights, and steam motor and electric cars go screaming and whistling past its limits from early morn until after midnight. As a burial spot for fresh interments it is now but little used, the more popular Riverview being the principal cemetery of the city, but as the last restintr nlace of deceased mem- bers of hundreds of families of this city It claims a sacred regard from the people here which will long delay It3 desecra tion as a city of the dead. The plat now occupied by Lone Fir in the early 'oOs was owned by Colburn Bar rel, afterwards a well-known resident of Portland. He had a small part of this plat laid out, and he named It Mount Crawford cemetery. This original plat contained 30 acres. In 1S6G a company was formed under the name of the Port land Lone Fir Cemetery Association. The organization was completed" on July 20 of that year, and the present grounds were transferred to this association in De cember following. Ihe capital stock was S3100, and the original stockholders were Levi Anderson. Robert Pittock. Silver : Fain. Jacob Mayer. D. W. Williams, B. P. Cardwell, Ferdinand Opltz, Luzerne Besser, Charles Barrett. Thomas Steph ens. Henry C. Coulson, J. A. Strowbridge, C. M. Wiberg. John C. Carson, Brelsford & Ewery and Colburn Barrel. At that time the cemetery contained several hundred acres. Out of the many monarchs of the mighty forest which once surrounded and stood on this plat, but a sinjrle fir tree was left standing. Mr. Bar- vyieYt suggested the name Lone Fir, and it was at once aaopiea oy tne association. It was not until 1S77 that any systematic attempt was made to put the cemeterv m a condition thatwould makeitan attractive and fitting burial site for Portland's dead. In that year a considerable amount of money was raised for this purpose and the entire plat of Lone Fir was cleared and laid out, and headboards were placed at the great number of graves that had long laid neglected. An accurate record of the burials at Lone Fir has been kept by the association. With the vast sums of money that have been spent by the association and by private parties dur ing the past few years on this plat it is today an attractive spot of interest in the city, and Is regularly visited by hun dreds of tourists and by the city people who are conveyed to the grounds in a few minutes' time over ihe fine electric road of the City & Suburban system. RIVERVIEW CEMETERY. The Attractive Ground South of the City Limits. In 1S79 a number of public-spirited gen tlemen of Portland, including ex-United States Senator K. W. Corbett, Henry Fall ing and W. S. Ladd,. purchased for $10,000 2S9 acres of land from Hector Campbell and Thomas Stephens with the object in ''P' -'- - - ,r i ... - view of providing for Portland a cemetery" that would be a credit to the city, and which would meet the demands as a burial spot for Its dead for many years in the future. This tract embraced within Its limits near ly all of that beautiful hill lying just be yond the Red house, on the famous White House road. This ridge rises by easy slopes to an elevation of about 150 feet, and its western slope, on which the ceme tery is located, commands a view of the Willamette river below and the attractive country beyond, Including the lofty range of the Cascades and the snow-capped Hood, the whole scene forming a pano rama that at once entrances all 'tfsitors to this ideal spot. The gentlemen who purchased these grounds sent East for a competent man to make a careful topographical survey of the plot and to prepare plans and draw ings for laying out the grounds. This work was done by Mr. E. O. Schwagel, an experienced engineer, at a total ex pense of about $1000. A large force of men was put to work early in 1SS0, and by Sep tember of that year nearly $30,000 had been expended by the association In Improve ments according to the plans of the engi neer. The entire cost to the original own ers of making the cemetery the attractive spot it afterwards became was $S9,500. This included the purchase price of the ground. On June SO. 1S93. the original owners transferred the cemetery to the Riverview Cemetery Association for the exact amount they had spent on this beautiful spot. The Riverview Cemetery Association CEMETERY, PORTLAND. was organized in accordance with the terms of a bill passed by the legislature of the state. According to the by-laws of this association, each owner of a lot in the cemetery is a member. The restric tion placed on the improvements of lots especially facilitates keeping the cemetery in a good condition. No lot must contain any slabstone, or any head or foot stone in an erect or vertical position, nor Is a mound allowed on any grave. Each grave may be marked by a stone, which, how ever, must He flat on the ground, with its surface not projecting to exceed one inch above the sod. This stone shall not be to exceed 23 Inches in length by 20 inches in width, and it must not be less than two inches in thickness. It must be placed di rectly over the grave, and no grave shall be otherwise marked. No monument can be placed on any lot without first having obtained permission from the superintend ent, nor shall any tree or shrub be planted without having this same consent. Deco rations must not be so placed as to Inter fere with important effects on an adjoin ing" lot. More than one monument -on a slpgle lot is not allowed. The entrance to the cemetery, as shown by the Illustration on this page, is attract ively lined with trees and choice shrub bery. At thp right of the entrance stands a modest stone building called The Lodge. This is purely rustic in its style of archi tecture. It is used as the residence of the superintendent and for keeping the plans and drawings from which the cemetery was first laid out. The association now contemplates building another stone build- , ing, which will be used as a chapel and i ako as a receiving vault. This will be a small rustic structure, but it will be made as attractive as possible, and it is hoped to have it completed some time during the present year. The entrance itself leads through a large gate and between two buttresses of solid stone, masonry. Inside the gate the grounds are beautifully laid out. The j summit of the cemetery is reached by a winding road of easy grades that is lined with flowers and the choicest shrubbery for its entire length. The view from the j iop oi mis mil is suunmc. .Deiuw ine xeei j of the beholder and stretching away for I miles is the peaceful Willamette, while ! beyond are well-kept fields, thickly wood ed districts, and the hazy outlines of the foothills of the Cascade mountains. Ris ing above these foothills are the more rugged lines of this great chain itself. above which, rising into the intense blue of the firmament, is the perennial snow capped peak of Mount Hood. Nobody should visit Portland without making the trip to Riverview. It is easily reached by either electric cars or by car riage, and the general beauty of the spot, together with the charming view com manded from it3 higher elevations, will well repay the trifling effort necessary to visit it. In addition to Lone Fir and Riverview there are several other burying grounds in the vicinity of Portland, which are beautifully located and well cared for. I The most Important of these, perhaps, is UJNIOX 2TEAT COMPANY'S PLANT AT TROUTDALE. Greenwood cemetery, on Boone's Ferry road, South Portland, not far from River view. This is the Masonic burial place, but within the limits of the same cemetery are plots owned by the Grand Army posts and the Independent Order of Odd Fel lows.. There are also two Jewish ceme teries, one of which adjoins Greenwood cemetery, and the other Is located on the south side of Taylor's Ferry road. South Portland. St. Mary's Catholic cemetery is located on the north side of the Base "Line road between East Twenty-fourth and East Twenty-sixth streets. Portland has always taken a commend able pride In properly caring for the last resting places of Its dead, and the ceme teries located in the immediate vicinity of the city will compare favorably In ap pearance with the best-kept cemeteries od the United States. A BIG PACKM H00SE THE TTIWOX MEAT COMPANY'S EX TENSIVE BUSINESS. Oregon as a Ilojrralsiug State How the Company Has Developed This Industry. ACKING-HOUSES are now regarded as high ly essential factors in the industrial organi zation of every large city. To insure success in the management of these institutions it Is ' Imperative that every modern device for per fect sanitation should be incorporated in the mechanical department of the plant. It Is, furthermore, necessary, to Introduce various methods for utilizing and turning to account all offal and other parts of the carcass, much of which was until recent years allowed to go to waste. These fun damental features of a first-class abattoir and packing-house are to be found in the extensive plant of the Union Meat Com pany of this city. It has been claimed that there are no packing-houses In Portland, but a glance at the illustrations accompanying this article will be a sufficient refutation of any such unfounded claims or assertions. The larger view represents the company's slaughtering-house, chilling-rooms, ice house, fertilizer factors', woolpullery and glue factory, all of which arc located at Troutdale, 15 miles from this city. The other illustration Is a correct representa tion of the company's wholesale market and packing-house, which covers a half block at the corner of Fourth and Gllsan streets. The mechanical equipment of both places, although not quite of equal magnitude, is in every other particular gqual to that of any of the great Eastern packing-houses. The Union Meat Com pany is an institution of which the citi zens of Portland feel justly proud, for it is strictly a home enterprise. It was or ganized by men who grew up in the butch ering business in Portland, men who have resided here since the present metropolis of the Northwest was a mere village. Unlike many of the la-gc cities west of Chicago, Portland was not compelled to wait until Eastern men saw fit to come here and erect such a needed institution. The men who embarked in this enterprise saw that the city was in need of a com plete abattoir and packing-house, and im mediately commenced the construction of the same. In inaugurating the enterprise the members of the Union Meat Company have conferred upon the Pacific North west a benefit that is far-reaching in its character and effects. In early days in Oregon, before the state had railroad com munication with the East, the residents of the commonwealth were content to eat hams, bacon, lard and kindred hog products of theirown manufacture. With the advent of the railroad came the ubiquitous and irrepressible Chicago drummer, who had little difficulty in persuading jobbers that the high-grade hog products of the Chi cago packing-houses were infinitely supe rior to those of home manufacture. All the claims made for the Eastern products were at that time well founded. A multi tude of Improved devices for handling the meats had been introduced in the large packing-houses there, while a systematic method of curing and packing the prod ucts was followed out. Here In Oregon more primitive methods of manufacturing hog products were in vogue. There wa3 no uniformity in quality in these home products, and therefore the Eastern goods soon secured a stron foothold in the markets of the Northwest. This condition of affairs prevailed for several years, and finally the impression became general among newcomers, and was also shared by many oldtlmers, that COLD STORAGE AND PACKISG-IIOUSE; ALSO HEADQUARTERS UXIOX HEAT COM PANY, PORTLAND. Oregon was not "in it" with the Eastern states In hograising and in the manufac ture of hog products. It has been the mission of the Union Meat Company to correct this impression, and the high rep utation which its hams, lard, bacon, etc., now enjoys in the Northwest is conclusive evidence of the well-merited success of its undertaking. Through the intelligent and well-directed efforts of this company they have also established a trade and reputa tion for their other meat products, such as beef, veal, mutton, pork, etc., that makes the'lr name a household word among the numerous families that now enjoy through this company's efforts the inestimable boon of delicious cold-storage meats for daily consumption. The fame of the company in this particular Is so well known that extended comment on that point would be superfluous. Their manufacture of hog products on an extensive scale is, however, a recent undertaking, and it will be of interest to Nffot&ag5&j the consumer of the company's products in this line to learn of the methods em ployed by the company in the manufac ture of these articles. At their packing house is located their lard-rendering plant, where the fat of the hogs is con verted into lard, which for excellence and f purity is far superior to any brand now on the market. An Important point, worthy of consideration by consumers. Is the fact that no chemicals are used to bleach or whiten the lard. It is just as pure and sweet and wholesome as the lard that mothers and grandmothers used to make. The hams and bacon manufactured by the Union Meat Company are simply per fect. Their process of pickling and smok ing is so thorough and systematic that a delicacy of flavor is attained that is not equaled by the most famous products of any of the great packing-houses of the East. As all their bams and bacon are cured In precisely the same manner, thera is an absolute uniformity in these, prod ucts of the company wherever found. It is a well-known fact that hogs raised In the Northwest are comparatively free from disease, due to the cooler and more equable climate of the country. Be cause hogs raised in this locality are so free from disease, consumers should be particularly cautious and see that their tables are supplied with hams and bacon of this company's make. As a distinguishing- trade-mark for all their meat products, the Union Meat Com pany have christened them the Shield brand. All who are desirous of promoting" home enterprise should see- that dealers supply them with nothing but the Union Meat Company's Shield brand of hams, bacon and pure kettle-rendered lard. The officers and members of this company have labored diligently and unceasingly in the upbuilding of this great industry- Thelr efforts deserve the warmest sup port, and it is gratifying to note that proper recognition is being accorded thera, a fact which is apparent from the high favor in which their products arc held by the people of the entire Pacific Northwest, BAGS AND BURLAPS.
