ABOUT THE PURDY CHECK Editor Graphic: As a few Telegrams are taken here by people in Newberg, I wish to ask you to kindly print a copy of an article that was sent to the Evening Telegram on Monday o f this week, and which article they have neglected to publish thus far. This article was in reply to one published in the Saturday Evening Telegram under the heading of ‘ ‘ Purdy Gave a Worthless Check, He Says.” Very respectfully, Will E. Purdy. Newberg, Ore., A u £ 9, ’14. Editor Evening Telegram, Port- land, Oregon. Dear Sir:—With reference to an article which appeared in the Saturday Evening Telegram, concerning the troubles o f one J. E. Maxwell over a check pur porting to have been given by Mr. Will E- Purdy, o f this place, 1 wish to state that Mr. Purdy does business at our bank,- and while be has used some counter checks from Portland when he would be out o f our checks, yet I can state to the public that no check has been refused payment given J. E. Maxwell by Mr. Purdy which has been received by the United States National Bank o f Newberg. J. C. Colcord, Cashier United States National Bank, Newberg, Oregon. Eggs properly packed in snit- able containers can be shipped in quantities of tern dozen for distance o f 50 to 150 miles and the containers returned at a total cost o f slightly more than three cents per. dozen. The rates for smaller shipments is slightly higher, those for larger some lower, but the difference is not very great. In any case, the cost o f shipping the eggs and return ing the container is less than the charges o f the buyer, commis sion man and the retailer, as made in the usual channels of marketing eggs. By taking advantage o f this situation producer? should get a little better price for their eggs, con sumers should get their good eggs, at rather less cost, and consumers’ families should get a regular supply of good eggs. For his extra profit on his eggs the farmer gathers them regularly each day, twice a day in warm weather, stores them in cool, clean places and ships them promptly. T h e experimental shipments by O. A. C. were made in a container that has ten paper rolls inside, each roll holding a dozen eggs in a perforated lin ing. Its weights is about 4 pounds. When filled with good eggs of good size the combined weight o f case, containers and eggs, is about 20 pounds. The cost of sending 20 pounds a distance o f 50 to 150 miles by parcel post is 24 cents. The rate for returning the 4-pound container is 8 cents. Thus the entire cost o f the shipment o f ten dozen eggs not counting cost of container is 32 ceqts, which is slightly more than 3 cents per dozen. BIG DEBATE NEXT SUNDAY On next Sunday afternoon in the city park the prohibition question will be discussed by men o f ability who will make it interesting from start to finish. The dry side o f the question will be represented by Dr. Clar ence True Wilson, formerly a Portland pastor, but now the genera] secretary o f Temperance Society of the M. E. church with headquarters in Topeka, Kan sas, while the “ wets” will be up held bj Col. E. Kofer, formerly editor o f the Capital Journal, of Salem, but now the editor ot the Oregon Manufacturer. Both these men are strong speakers and there will be fire works sufficient to keep every body awake every minute o f the time the platform is occupied. CARLTON SAW MILL BURNS On Wednesday night the plant of the Carlton Lumber Company, owned by Charles E. Ladd, of Portland, was destroyed by fire, entailing a loss of $500,000. Help was sent from Yamhill and McMinnville, and the plan ing mill and ten million feet ot lumber were saved. There was no wind blowing, else the loss would doubtless have been much g r e a t e r . Insurance t o th e amount of $250,000 was carried on the plant. Well! Well! “ Oh, Mamma!" exclaimed Isa belle, one night when she came home from school, “ I saw a girl across the street I thought I knew, so I crossed over to speak to her; she thought she knew me, but when we got near together, what do you think, it wasn't either o f us.” OUR CITY PARK Haater Passas A w ay No. 44 THOS.
