GOOD
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is often called tbe
Good-Luck Baking Powder.
Owing: to the fact that good luck always attends the
use of Dr. Price's, it is not essential to use it the moment
it is mixed nor is it required to have the oven always just
so, as in the case with ammonia or alum powders. It is not
luck after all, but the exact accuracy and care exercised in
the preparation and combination of all the ingredients of
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder. Competent chemists
are employed to .test the strength and purity of each
ingredient. Nothing is trusted to chance. Hence; it is
always uniform in its work.
House wives never fail to have "good luck" in mak
ing most delicious bread, biscuit, pastry and cakes that
remain moist and sweet. Only Baking Powder that con
tains the white of eggs.
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is re
ported by all authorities as free from Ammonia,
Alum, or any other adulterant. In fact, the
purity of this ideal powder has never been ques
tioned. .

John Cureton. Better Known as the "Fresno
Kid" Arrested Here at the Instijatlon

John Oureton, better known as tb
"Fresno Kid,'1 was arrested here, at tu
instigation of California authorities, last
TneBdsy evening, oharged with shooting
a Southern I aoiho passenger oraKemai'
reoently at Marysville, Calif.
Tbe party who did the shooting wap
beating his way on tne train, and whet
the orakeman attemptod to put bim of)
was Bhot twice. The party escaped, ana
was supposed to have left on foot for tbe
mountains. Somehow or other it was
fastened on young Cureton, though his
associates say that, though on the train
at the time, was riding on a tioket and
was in bis bed when the shooting
occurred, coming on np to Portland with
the orowd. Hut Cureton, no doubt, is
the man tbey want, though he may not
be guilty, and will necessarily be com
polled to go back to Calif, to establish
his innocence.
He was given a trial before Gov. Rea
Wednesday and released, but immedi
