Pastry Without Butter.

Light, faky and digestible pie crust and all kinds of
fine pastry can be made with DR.. Prices Cream Baking Pow
der without butter or with one half the usual portion, if pre-
ferred, or with a small quantity of lard or other shortening
as desired. Pie crust made in this way is more wholesome
and digestible besides being more economical and easier pre-
pared in addition to saving all the butter if desired. One
third the -four is also dispensed with, and the crust is rolled
that much thinner, the raising qualities of Dr.. Prices Powder
swelling it to the requisite thickness. Those who enjoy the
appetizing qualities of the delicious home made pie will
rejoice to know this secret.
DR.. Prices Cream Baking Powder is the only powder
that contains the white of eggs.
DIR. Prices Cream Baking Powder is re-
ported by all authorities as free from Ammonia,
Alum, or any other adulterant. In fact, the
purity of this ideal powder has never been ques-
toned.

TAXING MINES.
ella County Mine owners
VIII Contest the
Levy.

The taxation of mining improve
ments in ella county has created
quite a stir at Globe as it is stated
that the owners will not pay, but con-
test the validity of the entire levy.
An interesting statement is given in
the columns OF the Silver Belt from
which we extract the following:
"Globe and the portion OF ella
county tributary to il, is entirely de-
pendent for its future prosperity upon
the success of its mining industry
The board, however has done every
thing in its power 20 discriminate
against The few successful mines now
operating in the county. placing the
assessed values OF the three largest
mining companies at about one-quarter
tie total valuation of all the property
in the county.
1.-The sworn statements of the rep
resentatives OF these companies, The
Old Dominion, Buffalo and Rescue,
we're set aside without trying to get
any additional testimony, and being
entirely ignorant OF the subject, the
board placed value upon these proper
ties that were excessive, arguing that
the company would pay, and that
they w&nted the money. The valuation
placed upon The Old Dominion Cos
property was 1898 900, while IN south.
eastern Arizona. the Copper Quean
having a much finer and more extern
sive property in every way, is only
assessed SIS, 900.
The mines here cannot stand such
an injustice and burden, and will re-
sist the payment OF taxes upon the
outrageous v.iuation decided upon by
the boa. They WI re every 1t
to succeed, for which the have more
than an even chance. Then ella
county will be in very bad condition
financially, and the residents will
regret the zeal of their representa-
lives"

A Little Question of Time.

A case was being tried in a country
court. A horse had been stolen from a
pasture, and the evidence all pointed to q
certain doubtful character of the neigh
borhood as the culprit. Though his guilt
seemed clear, he had found a LAWYER 20
undertake his defense. At the trial the
defendants attorney expended his energy
in trying to confuse and frighten the OPP
posing witnesses, especially a certain
farmer whose testimony was particularly
damaging. The lawyer kept up fire of
questions, asking many foolish ones and
repeating himself again and again in the
hope OF decoying the witness into con-
tradiction.
''You say the lawyer went on, 'sthat
you can swear to having seen this man
drive horse past your farm on the day
in question"
II CAM replied the witness, wearily.
for he had already answered the question
q dozen times.
''What time was this?"
81 told you it was about the middle of
the forenoon
but don'5 want any 'abouts; or any

Why" said the farmer 81 don's al
wSys carry gold watch with me when
Pm digging potatoes"
But you have clock in the house,
haven't you?i'
eyes"
well, what time was it by tha:?"
Why, by that clock 1t was Just nine
teen minutes past ten."
You were in the field all the morn
ing?" went on the lawyer, smiling sug-
gestiveiy.
81 was.n
How far from the nousc is this field?''

You swear, do you, that by the clock
IN your house 1T was exactly nineteen
minutes past temp"

The lawyer paused and looked triumph
antly st the jury at lass he had entrapped
the Witness into n contradictory state
ment that would greatly weaken his tes-
timony. Il think that will do,'' he said,
with y wave of his arm. 81 ;.n quite

The farmer leisurely picked up his hat
and started to leave the witness-stan6.
