SCION OF VANDERBILT
LAUDS LABORING MAN
WASHINGTON, Ol-1. 5. The pro
duction of mineral water in Oregon
is still to be listed as an infant in
dustry, but 'one which brings hand
some revenues for those engaged in
its bottling.' At prevailing rates, not
a few enterprising Oregonians should
be able to buihss neat fortunes out of
the bottling and sale of mineral wa
ter, provided they can fiud the nec
essary mineral springs.
During the past year," accordiug to
the geological survey, 25,330 gallons
of Oregon mineral water were bottled
and sold at an average price of 35
cents a gallon. The total output
brought in $8S30. The industry, it is
shown, is slowly expanding, for in
the previous year was put out 1123
gallons less, nnd the average selling
price during 1007 was only 23 cents
a gallon. Water, which costs virtu
ally nothing to produce and very lit
tle to market, must neeessarify net
a neat profit when sold at 35 cents a
gallon. That is way above the mar
ket price of refined keroseue.
About half the Oregon mineral wa
ter marketed is used for medical
purposes. Some of it is purely forj
table use and some is nsed in the !
, manufacture of soft drinks. Only six
springs in the state are being devel
oped commercially at this time. These
are located at the following points
respectively: Boswell, Douglas coun
ty; Cascadia; Linn county: Colestin,
Jackson county; Seneca, Grant coun
ty; Soda Springs, Jackson county,
and Hubbard, Marion county.
Over in Washington, Where Oregon
prices prevailed last year, the total
sales amounted to 38,900 gallons.
The production in that state is de
clining, showing a decrease of 43 per
cent from 1907. The price, however,
jumped from 16 to 35 cents a gallon,
and the total output for 1908 sold
for $2830 mode than the larger out
put of the year previous. There are
five commercial medical springs in
Washington.
NKW YOUK, October 5. "The
standard of morality aiming woik-
ingint'ii is just as high us in any other
class. '
''The life of the workiugmau is
sane, the kind every American ought
to lead.
'"The laboring man is not lacking
in brains, only an opportunity to de
velop them."
This is what James Watson Webb,
son of W- Seward Webb, grandson of
the late W. H. Vanderbilt, and who
has sjnmt a year in the yards and of
fices of the Central & Northwestern
railroad in Milwaukee, learning rail
roading "from the ground up," says
most impressed him.
Mr. Webb; who is spending his two
week's vacation east, spoke interest
ingly of his experience as a working
man when found last night on the
Montreal express at the Grand Cen
tral station.
"This looks different from the in
side of an engine cab or the interior
of an assistant superintendauts of
fice, doesn't itf" he began.
"Its good to get back to the lux
uries of the East, even for a short
time," he added, stretching his form
up to his full six- feet and thro in
ches. ' "But I like the life out there
in the railroad yards nnd I am going
back in two weeks.
"The men with whom I worked
were princes. They didn't know who
1 was and they took mo in for my
own sake, and wore calling me by my
firt iianio in a week. Just as men
to men, they have no superiors on
earth. Their work is their bund.
Furthermore, their life is simpler.
They do not get divorces every few
mouths. Tlieir lives are sane.
QUEEN ALEXANDRIA USES
POLITE TERM IN REQUEST
LONDON, Oct. 5.. Queen Alexan
dria has shown more than once, in a
small way, the justice of her claim to
ha "the first lady in the land," and
the word "lady" is here used in its
best sense.
Her magesty has a private bunga
low on the Norfolk const, where she
takes rectful holidays during the
summer. She bus .beuu troubled,
however, by intrusive sightseers, who
have caused much damage to the
little estate.
But instead of posting up n notice
to the effect that "trespassers will be
prosecuted" in the usual arrogant
(nnd illegal) way, her majesty simply
had n board erected with the simple'
words, "Private property, please."
Not even the most callous could re
sist that appeal.
Orders for sweet creum or butter
milk promptly filled. Phone thi
