The Carson & Colorado X. II.

Work on this new road has been
-nushed ahead as fast rs circumstan-
ces would permit. Several inconve-
niences have been encountered which
have retarded tT a slight extent the
progress of the work. The road is
graded to point about five miles be-
yond the foot of the lake, where it is
proposed to leaveit until the track
is laid, Somewhere in this Locality,
the proposed town'of Hawthorn will
be built. The town promises to be
one of the most important stations
on the line, as all the freight and
travel to Bodie aud intermediate
towns will pass through this place.

Statistical Campaign Notes.

AS something handy for reference,
we reprint the following COLLATION. of
facts regarding the campaign, taken
from the San francisco Bulletin:
There are $50 votesin the Electo-
raj College.
1t takes 1856, or a majority, to
elect,
The Solid South has 1873 votes.
The North has 231 votes.
The Solid South requires At North
ern votes to win.
The North can lose 40 votes and
elect its Presideet.
Both Houses Of Congress have the
counting of the votes. The method
can hardly be said to be settled. The
Senate is Democratic by 10 majority,
and the House by a small plurality.
In the event Of the election ofsPresi.
dent devolving on the Hunse'of Rep

States, IL Democratic States and one

litical complexion on one Congress.
man, De La Matyr, Greenbacker.
The vote of State is determined by
majority OF its delegation.
The Senate, which, on the failure
OF the House to name President,
chooses President from the Vice
Presidents voted for, stands 43 Dem.
Ocrats to 33 Republicans.
The Supreme Court Of the United
States consists OF seven Republic Ans
and two Democrats. There Is bin
before II Democratic Congress to in
crease the number of Justices to
twenty-One. Ifpassed, and the Dem.
Gratis should secure the Presidency,
the Court can be made to stand four.
teen Democrats TO seven Republicans.
In that event all the Constitutional
amendments can be swept away.
The Democrats are arrayed against
the tariff, upon which most of the in
dustriaI enterprises of this country
depend; also against the present
financial equilibrium under which
all forms of money have equal value
and are interchangeable.

whether cream is best churned sweet
or sour. Since the churning was tacil-
itated and flavor and keeping quality
developed only in the milk set In oXy-
gen, it argues that exposure for oxyds-
ton is all that may be necessary to
accomplish these ends, and that acid
may yet be dispensed with, IS well in
butter-making as in cheese-maklng.
Ali good butter-makers now churn at
least as soon as souring begins, or a lit
tie before, with a growing tendency to
the latter practice. Milk which is
kept till fermentation sets in is evil
IDENTIFY on the road to decay, a condition
it is not easy to conceive as of any ad-
vantage to the keeping of fine flavor of
butter. That milk fats fresh from the
COW, without any ripening, churn with
moredificulty and make butter inferior
in keeping and flavor to that of cream
which has acquired some age, is motor
ious. That the ripening usually effected
by giving age to the cream is due to
eration is corroborated by the results
of the centrifugal cream separator.
The thorough eration which the cream
gets in a few minutes in being rapidly
whirled off from the fresh milk, Sc
cures the easy churning and high flavor
which are only the result of time when
the cream is not so forcibly aired. 1t
demonstrates that neither time nor
acidity is necessary for the desired
ripening of cream, which observant
butter-makers concede to be essential
to secure the best results, and leads to
the inference that if we can get the
easy churaing and perfect flavor with
out the stale condition which accom-
panies fermentation, it is better to
churn sweet than sour."-Prahie Far

Story of Old Fuss and Feathers.

Gen. Taylor, who was pro~verbially
Democratic in his habits, was accessi-
BILE at all times and in all places to any
officer or soldier who had occasion to
call upon him. His tent was always
open to all callers, and no ceremony
was required to gain an audience with
the General commanding.
General Scott, on the contrary was
very ceremonious on this point and
visitors were not always successful in
their applications to see him, and nine
times out of ten were referred to a sub
ordinate officer, who acted as the Ale
dunn between the General-in-chief
and themselves. This was not in
every case satisfactory to those who
expected to be favored with an inter
view in person, but there was no help
for it, and they were compelled to sub
nit. The following anecdote, which
occurred early in 1916, and has never
before b n published, illustrates the
point:
There was a certain Lieutenant
NOW a general officer by brevet) who
happened to come down the Rio
Grande shortly after Gen. Scott, had
landed at Brazos. Being DESTROYS of
paying his respects to the commander
in-chief, he hurried off to the headquar-
terS in the way that was customary
when visiting Old Zach. AS he ap-
preached he saw two wall tents with a
"hy" in front, which were the head
quarters. Outside walked a sentinel,
and inside the sentinel sat an orderly
upon a stool, while in the first tent
were seated COL the Generals mil
itary secretary, and Capt, n Of
his aids.
Acknowledgements the SEN
tinel, he was saluted and his business
asked.
Ito see Gen. Scott" was the reply.
The sentinel turned to the orderly and
