HERMISTON. UMATILLA COUNTY. OREGON. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8. 1917
EXPLANATION OF CREAM
AND MILK TEST LAW
U would seem that considerable mis-
apprehension exists among dairy farm-
ers relative to the requirements of the
law passed by the legislative assembly
of 1917, which requires the pasteurize-
tíos of all milk and cream sold to con
sumere and all by products of creamer
ies or cheese factories if not produced
from tuberculin tested cows.
The
exact text of the law, which is known
s Chapter 332 of the General Laws of
1917, section 2 of which reads as fol
lows:
“That from and after September 1,
1917, it shall be unlawful for any per-
son, firm, company, corporation or
association, to sell or offer or expose
tarsale or exchange, for human con
sumption any milk from cows that
have not passed the tuberculin test,
unless such milk shall have been pas
teurized as hereinafter provided. It
is understood and hereby expressly
sated that nothing in this section
shall apply to the delivery of milk or
cream to creameries, cheese or con-
deosed milk factories by the producer
of such milk or cream, or in bulk to
the wholesale trade.”
It will be noted from the reading
of the above that this part of the law
does not apply in any way whatever to
toy dairy farmer who is selling his
milk orcream to a condensery, cream-
ery, cheese factory, milk depot or any
manufacturing plant, but said con-
densery, creamery, cheese factory,
milk depot or manufacturing plant are
held responsible for the process ot

RANCHER MEETS WITH
SERIOUS ACCIDENT
DEATH TAKES POPULAR
YOUNG MARRIED LADY
The many friends of S L Carson
will be pained to learn of his nearly
fatal accident that occurred on Satur
day of last week on his ranch a mile
and a half northwest of town. It ap
pears Mr. Carson was out on horse
back after bis cows and in going
along a steep bank of the Umatilla
river the horse lost bis footing, slipped
and fell with Mr. Carson down to the
water’s edge, tramping on and rolling
over him several times as they de
scendí d the steep slope. The horse
went home and soon the alarm was
spread that Sam was broken up badly
and nearly trampled to death. Dr.
Reid was called and pronounced him
very badly broken up Dr. Henderson
of Pendleton was immediately sum
moned and came down on the motor.
After a careful examination it was de
cided he had a collar bone broken, one
hin somewhat fractured and several
bad bruises, but would pull through
with proper care.
It is not generally known that S. L.
Is a direct descendant of the famous
Indian fighter, Kit Carson, but such is
the case and Mr. Carson is not easily
put “down and out,” in fact this is the
first time he was ever “knocked off bis
pins.” At present writing he is gett
ing along as well as could be expected.
Without any warning the grim
reaper swept from the midst of this
community Friday of last week Mrs.
Anna M Anderson, respected, well
liked and popular with all Hermiston
people of her acquaintance.

grief of Mr Anderson the sympathy
and help of the community was ex
tended, and the remains of his wife as

ily. The funeral services were held

A representative meeting of business
men and ranchers was held Monday
night in the Civic Center rooms under
the auspices of the Commercial club
to discuss important questions, chief
among them being as to whether the
dairy and bog show would be held thia
year. After a general discussion,
practically a unanimous vote showed
that all were In favor ot Its being held,
and willingness on the part of dairy-
men and hog raisers to bring in their
stock was not lacking.
Heretofore it has been necessary for
the committee io charge to make fre
quent visita lo ranchers to induce them
to take an Interest and prepare their
exhibits, but the farmers at the meet
ing gave assurance that the exhibits
would be forthcoming without the
effort of former years, and to balance
this up the people of the town of Her
miston stand ready to assume the ex-
pense incident to the show, aside from
the amount donated by the county.
This settled, a general committee
was appointed to make plans for the
annual event, and their findings, to
gether with the dates when the show
will be held this fall, will be announced
later.
At the meeting it was decided to
maintain the rest room, it being shown
that the institution is liberally patron
