bandry, Saturday night, in the discus
sion of "Pure Milk." Mrs. S. E. Wlndle.
lecturer, presided.
There was exhaustive discussion on
Pure Milk" by several speakers, and
the milk inspector's office was cen
sured for applying- for more assistance,
it being the opinion of the speakers
that more help was wanted by the
chief that he would not be compelled to
do the work. Dr. F. S. Smith, Eugene
Palmer. J. E. Stansbury and W. II. H.
Dufur were the speakers. The move
ment to improve the quality of milk
was indorsed.
The State Grange's plan to amend the
state constitution to classify taxation,
values, separating the sources of state
and local revenue, was indorsed. J.
W. Black, master of the Grange, dis
cussed this topic at length. He said
it would result in a more equitable
method of assessment than now used.
He pointed out that under the proposed
amendments it would be possible for
the state to derive most of its reve
nues from corporation taxes, including
railroads, insurance companies and
other corporations, leaving local
sources of taxation to the counties.

A New Departure
The cost of Interments have been
greatly reduced by the Holman
Undertaking Company.
Heretofore It has been the custom of
funeral directors to make charges for
all incidentals connected with a fu
neral. The Edward Holman Undertak
ing Company, the leading funeral di
rectors of Portland, have departed from
that custom. When casket is furnished
by us we make no extra charges for
embalming, hearse to cemetery, outside
box or any services that may be re
quired of us, except clothing, cemetery
and carriages, thus effecting a saving
of $25 to $75 on each funeral.
