"The pr.i-.Iapanese feeling that in ini

"A people who are inflated with a

DOUGLAS GOa CREAMERY
Prize Butter With Blue Ribbon Re
turned to Roseburg Tuesday.
In the write-up of the Douglas County
Creamery, which is located and very
successfully operated in Koseburg by R
K. (iaddis, and the announcement in
the last issue of. the ft ilHIMll that
the butter product of this, creamery re
ceived the higljest points and was
awarded tiraV pri.z.e .at the Oregon State
Fair last week, one. of the most import
ant features of the achievement aud
honor was overlooked by the omission
of tlie ua.iue of the butter maker,
through, whose ..eye. skill and riH
knowleilge ,of thp creamery business,
these honors Wtfre won for Koseburg and
the excellent reputation already es
tablished for Kos burg ere.uuekry butter
again given sulwtantial recognition. The
gentleman to whom these honors be
long is none other than Richard W iUet,
who whileconuected with this creatuery
carried.oC Uie I ugl iest honors for the
excellence of his butter product at the
Kugene Disttict Fair last Fall. Mr.
Willet and family arrived at this place
something over a year ago from the
great dairy and creamery state of Minne
sota, and accepted the position of butter-
maker in the Rosebnrf creamery", a posi
tion he has most acceptably tilled since
that time. He' fs'a graduate of the
dairy school alid has received many high
ilass diplomas and certificates In both
cheese and butter manufacturing, which
the writer bad the pleasure of examin
ing. His wife is also the proud posses
sor of a beautiful' and appropriately in
scribed gold walch which was -awarded
her husband as a prize in a Minnesota
butter making contest by a large cream-
ery association of that state. Mr. Wil
' let has been engaged in the creamery
business for twenty-two years, and has a
arge collection of newspaper and per
sonal indorsements. Kosebnrif is indeed
fortunate in having such an excellent
manufacturing institution located in its
imits, especially with such skilled and
ellicient management and oeration.
