EDITOR Los ANGELES HERALD:-As
/ have heard considerable talk in regard
to my transactions with one james alias
Stickeen, do myself the honor of put
ting you in possession Of the facts.
/ Preached this port on August 5th
with a cargo Of coal on board the good
ship. Joseph 8. Spinney. Immediately
after my arrival I was boarded by the
aforesaid Stickeen, who informed me he
was man Of wealth, and possessed Of
great business facilities in the way Of
steam tugs, lighters. hoisting engines,
etc., etc. permitted him to commence
discharging my vessel, and about week
after, learned from my San Francisco
agent that General Phineas Banning
had been appointed agent at Whining.
ton to transact ell my ships business.
After having the said Stickeen on board
nearly q week discovered that he had
only one little bit Of . lighter and en-
gine. no fresh water, and no means Of
furnishing or getting any ballast, and no
having dQne only about a. much work
in week a. he should have done 10 one
day. ordered him of the vessel, and
to take his engine with him. He re-
fused to 10 or remove-his machinery. I
then instructed General Banning to go
and get the engine. bring II ashore, and
give it to said Sticksen, which war
promptly accomplished 90 far as the
engine was concerned, and II has been
ready to put into the possession Of the
reputed owner whenever no might call
for it. and he was 90 notified. / deem
it my duty to make this matter public in
order that shipmssters coming to this
port may keep clear Of this individual.

Facts About Flour.

Flour is peculiarly sensitive to atmos-
pheric influences, hence it should never
be stored in room with sour liquids,
nor where onions or fish are kept, MOI
any article that taints the air ofthe room
in which it is stored. Any smell per.
ceptible to the sense will be absorbed
by the flour. Avoid damp cellars or
lofts where free circulation of air can
not be obtained. Keep il cool dry,
airy room, and not exposed to freez.
ing temperature, nor to intense summer
or to artificial heat. or any length Of
time above 70 degrees or rs degrees
Fahrenheit. It should not come in con-
tact with grain or other substances which
are liable to heat. Flour should be sifted
and the particles thoroughly disinterga-
ted and then warmed before baking.
This treatment improves the color and
baking properties of the dough. The
sponge should be prepared: for the oven
as soon as the yeast has performed its
mission; otherwise fermentation sets In
and acidity results.-American Miller.
