'5 f ? ! .The picturesque little town of Jeffer aon located on th.e'bank of .'th.J peace ful Santiam. river, was(. visited Satur day by a Statesman 'reporter and he found an exceedingly lively little city. It being '.Saturday quite .a nurobej- .o farmers were in town doing their regu- lar-trading or getting repairs for their farm machinery, but. it was noticed that all wore a busy; air and seemed to have to time to stand on the- street corners, and gossip. They attended to to. their business in the shorttit possi- le space of time and hurried home to their - work. ' The usual number ' of t farmers wera not in . evidence on ac count of the stress of spring' work,, and all agriculturists are "making hay whlleThe sun. shines,"1 as they Xear the present splendid weather will not. con tinue very long at a time 1 when- the spring rains are expected. ' " Graingrowers are a little worried over the exceedingly warm weather, and say nothing makes big wheat crops like plenty of rain at this time of year. A luxuriant "growth of "grass has re lieved the extreme shortage oh paaturfe and stockmen seemed, to be in a mere pleasant frame of mind than formerly. Business Is Lively. ,. . ' AH business men of vJefterson. report ed busines as very lively and all that they: could ask1 for at this time. There seems to be-a great deal of activity In the . building line, especially : in' plans for residences which are to go up this summer. ; Quite a large number of new comers are In the city and will prob ably build in the near fature'as houses to rent are as scarce as hen's tee'th-1.,. New Creamery Plant. . creamery building f has just A new been completed and the machinery In- stalled, and last Monday morning the proprietor, KT C Eldridge, -opened -his new creamery plant and Invited Ahe patronage of the public. Mr, Eldridge is an old creamery man of long experi ence and Is the proprietor' of the" Inde pendence Creamery. He has-not built as large a plant as some In the state, but it is of the most modern type: in ev ery detail, and is probably as 'perfect' a plant, if not piore so, than any In the state."- The floors are all of cement, and'ort 'different levels, so. that -the pW duct""may be handled with"-the "fehst. amount of labor involved. The ittittS Ing. is supplied with a fultsystenj,t)f steam? "hot and cold water, pipes ' mak ing scrupulous cleanliness possible. The churn is a disborow, rotary, and com bined worker' The; cream Is churned, washed and worked' without "being handled or touched. The capacity of this churn and worker is 600 pounds of butter per churning; and , two- batches of cream can, be churned each day-The butter mold, Is Simpson's Improved Jumbo mold, with a Capacity of' 614 pounds of butter; The cream vat. Is of a capacity of 750 gallons and cream in it may be heated by turning steam in the inner space surrounding the cream. Ice can also be packed around It. They are supplied with a Babcock steam tester, which attains a velocity of, 900 revolutions per minute. .A i horizontal steam engine aTfd boiler furnishes the power and hot wter for the plant. The brand which will be stamped n ,the squares of golden butter ia veryj heat, being a spread eagle, representjed, as holding in its mouth a jx nnant blaring the worts ''Eagle Brand.' MrIti Van lei hyde, a- butter 'maker of, long ex perience in Minnesota, is n charge of th plant and may be-expected to take the bt st pssible: advantage of .', the plendid butter making plant. ..; :- The peopU , of Jefferson and .vicinity' glady received the new butter factory in their midt and several dairymen, tmoftj them being J.

Between 300 and 400 cows,; mostly Jerseys, are In sight at the present time and their cream will be going to the creamery inside of a month, and they confidently expect the cream from. 600 cows Inside of a year.'; No skimming is done at the creamery! as most of the patrons own hand sep- I arators, and' the rest are preparing to. j MK Eldridge, of the creamery, sold four j separators last week. 1 . : J This creamery will .leave & large amount of money in ? the "community each year, and will come to be one of ; the most important-industries engaged in by the Tanners of that section. , . , .Talepbone.Servica Growing , W. Lt Jpnes the Jefferson barber, also runs the. centrajt. telephone jofiice, and he- reports that four local lines are beng projected. The subscriber have already been secured and the 'Instru ments will be installed Th a short time. Three party lines will run in as many directions from Jefferson. In' i Marion county, to supply the farmers with tel ephone service, and one line will cross the Santlam into. Linn county. 'Besides thia twenty-five have subscribed for phones Inside the city limits. ? These lines, will all be in connection with the main line, running through Jefferson. Mr. Jones has recently enlarged and improved his office building, and runs a. fruit and confectionery store in con nection with the barber shop and tele phone station. .' , " " ;' Has Good Bank, j ! One of .the most substantial institu tions - of Jefferson which recently sprung "Into existence is the " Oregon State Bank, of which JI ;A. Aupperle, the flouring mill man, is president' and 11 W.

Thi bank opened for business last August, and Is proving a great convenience, toi the peo ple of Jefferson and the ftrrounding country, s"JiOj were formerly compelled to do their banking, busines In. Salem or Albany. V.- s-;, . ' ' .. .- , -? : A New Sawmill. : Mr.' 'Aitpperle has also recently com rettdTa sawmill, adjoining the flouring mill and run by water power, taken from the race, provided originally for the flourmg mill. Even now only a small portion of this water power Is being utilized, and from time to time new industries will bet added, the-only thing necessary for power being to put In a-new Water wheel. The sawmill ffiH8 need n nas caused an era of building to be planned for this Fsummer, .which will probably be a re cord reaker. -The lumber is engager far . ahead of its manufacture, and is hauled oft as fast as turned out. The recent flood carried away their boon) of logs and caused considerable delay; but they now have a drive coming from" Up 'the Santiam " river, in Whlph there is 300,000 feet of lumber. Grinds the Year 'Round. The flouring mill runs1 steadily the year. around, even frotW ,jw till har vesti when, the majoritynof mills are laid aside for. lack of wheat to grind. They turn out about 135 barrels of flour per day, and It flnds-'Wi'eady market, being shipped to Portiandhnd South ern Oregon points. The mill also en joys a' large local exchange trade. Many New Buildings. " There .are no business buildings planned so far for construction this summer, but quite, a large number of neat and showy cottages and .substan tial residences are How in course, of construction or planned to be built. E. C. Hazard, the bank cashier, will build a handsome residence In the- near future. ProT. , W. A. Wiley, principal of the Jefferson public schools, is plan ning to build a new residence near the handsome' public school building in the north part of town.- Work is now going-forward .on a pretentious residence being built by Mrs. Denny, near the de pot.
