TIS SPRING.
Early spring with every dreamy
composite greets us one and all,
residents of this glorious clime
the Rogne River Valley. Who
would not be of us? How fresh
the air is and how warm the sun !

tended to take a mid summer va
cation and was occupying his time
at present warming mother earth
and starting the grass and flowers
to grow that they might feed from
their fill during his absence.
'Tis spring!. Tis spring, indeed!!
And spring's soft zephyrs
Wend, panting on their welcome
way.
A stroll about the city reveals n
busy scene in front yards and
about premises. Gardens are mak
ing and rubbish is being gathered
and carted away and here and
there a back yard bone fire sends
its curling smoke to mingle
with the hazy atmosphere.
ration day. In the West, however,
is a general thing, the dny is rec
ognized very little, but in tho East
the observanco is more pronounced,
owing to the fact, we presume, of
their being less to divert the mind
to other channels in a business and
social sense. In Medford, with but
one or two .exceptions, none of the
business houses closed, und the
usuall amount of trading took
place. This was the rule through
out the valley.

Again Caught
Misrepresenting Facts.
The Royal Baking Powder Company has resorted to so
many tricks to force its way upon the public, that whenever
any cry of fraud is raised the public instinctively turns to
the Royal Baking Powder Company.
Is it any wonder ?
The Royal has recently printed a statement purporting
to be an interview with Dr. Benjamin F. Drew, state chemist
and analyst to the Food and Dairy Commission of Minnesota,
to the effect that the Royal Baking Powder is all which the
company asserts it to be. The statement is made that Dr.
Benjamin F. Drew, state chemist and analyst to the Food and
Dairy Commission, made the representations referred to be
fore the legislative committee at tho last session, which ex
amined various baking powders.
WHAT IS THE TRUTH?
1st. There is no such person as Dr. Benjamin F. Drew,
state chemist and analyst to the Food and Dairy Commission
of Minnesota.
2d. There is a Dr. Charles W. Drew, who is state chem
ist and analyst to the said commission.
3d. He denies the statement in question of the Royal
Baking Powder Company, generally, as follows:
1st. The statements in no sense represent his attitude
or his utterance.
2d. There has never been, either in the published re
ports of the chemist of the commission, in his testimony
before the legislative committee or elsewhere, any implied
endorsement of the Royal Baking Powder as superior to
other brands.
3d. At the session of the legislative committee before
which Dr. Drew testified, an attempt was made by the attor
ney of the Royal Company to secure the statements which
the Royal Company has since printed, which attempt failed.
4th. On the contrary, Dr. Drew did say there were suffi
cient grounds for objection to the presence of ammonia in
baking powders to justify the legislative committee in recom
mending that all such powders be required to announce upon
their labels the fact that Ammonia was one of the constitu
ents; and Dr. Drew further expressed to tho committee the
following emphatic opinion: "I would not recommend such
powders to my patients, nor would I use them in my own
family."
mm
The Price Baking Powder Company makes a Pure
Cream Tartar Baking Powder, free from ammonia,
alum, lime or any taint of impurity, and feels it owes a
duty to the public as well as to itself to lay bare such
trickery as the Royal resorts to in trying to wheedle the
consumer into using its Ammonia Powder.
