The advantages of having a creamery in
Olympia were generally discussed today
The proposition met with more encourage
ment than any other similar proposition
made to the citizens of Olympia for some
time past. There is little doubt but that
the desired building site will be forthcom-
ing at the proper time. Citizens of Olym-
pia are as deeply interested in the starting of
this enterprise, as are the farmers of Thurs
ton county, because the benefits resulting
therefrom will be general in their nature.
The creamery deserves all the encourage
ment that can possibly be given it by the
people of this city.

LOCAL HAPPENINGS.
A ROUGH VOYAGE.

During the trip from Shelton yesterday
the steamer Willie was caught in the storm
and passed through an experience that the
passengers on board will not be apt to for
get for some time. The vessel careened,
pitched, plunged, rose and fell like ship
in mid ocean. 1t is a wonder that it
reached the wharf without being upset,
since boats of heavier build were not taken
out upon the water. There were a number
of passengers ON board the Willie who
were greatly relieved when the boat pulled
up at Percival's dock at 10 O'Clock. One
lady passenger suffered from a severe
attack Of sea sickness, and a drummer
from Seattle was so badly frightened that
his fellow passengers forgot their misery
and fear laughing at his antics

NORTHERN PAo1r1o rAx.

Several days ago the tax agent of the
Northern Pacific Railroad company called
upon County Treasurer Mann for the
purpose of ascertaining the total amount
of taxes assessed against that road in
Thurston county. After analyzing a for
midable array of figures he learned that
the Northern Pacific Railroad company
would be obliged to pay $15, 900 taxes in
this county. 1t is quite likely the COM
pany will be compelled to pay this amount
iii full, there being no possible way to OBJ
tain a reduction.

WORK FOR ALL.

Calamity howlers had no excuse for re-
naming idle yesterday. Snow shovelers
were in demand everywhere. They were
especially wanted for removing the acounlu-
lation Of snow on the roofs of houses in the
business part of town. In some places the
snow on the roof was four feet in thickness,
in spite of the wind that prevailed, and the
weight was so great that the buildings
were in danger of being crushed to the
ground. Persons willing to work were
kept busy all day shoveling of these great
masses of frozen vapor Itsometimes hap
pened that snow thrown from the roofs of
high buildings landed on the smaller
buildings and almost buried them. This
practice led to frequent verbal combats be-
tween the owners or lessees of the small
buildings and the men who were dumping
the snow from the high buildings, and in
one particular instance on Main street it
was feared by those interested that
bloody personal encounter would ensue
Fortunately the matter was settled without
any clash.

RECOVERED From SURPRISE.

Olympians appear to have recovered
almost entirely from the first shock of sur
prise and inconvenience caused by the
snow storm, and went about their duties
today as if nothing unusual had happened.
1t was comparatively an easy matter to get
about on the principle streets, and paths
are being rapidly cut on the side streets.
A slight snow fell last night, but not
enough to obliterate the old paths that
had been cut.

A FEAST FOR A KING.

Turkeys cost so much this year that
eyerybOdyin Olympia will not be able to
afford one for Christmas. Imported
turkeys as well as those of the home made
vanity can not be had for less than twenty
five cents per pound. This means that
man OF an ordinary income will be obliged
to make Christmas feast on something
else. Ducks are cheap and plentiful and SO
are CLAIMS and cranberries. The ducks are
very fat and are kept by nearly all the
butchers. Properly prepared, cranberIies,
duck and clans would make a feast fit for
a king. This suggestion is made for the
benefit of those unable to pay twenty-five
per pound tor turkey.

Three interesting and energetic young
ladies created considerable merrlment on
the Eastside yesterday by arraying them
selves in mems clothes and starting in to
shovel path through the snow. They
succeeded in their object and then had no
end Of fun with the neighbor, whose pres.
ence they had reached by such desperate
efforts. 1t is quite likely they will start
out as professional snow shoYelers when
the next storm comes along.

Ninety seven arc lamps are used in illu-

requiring one man to founder over the
route alone. Today three men were sent
over the line to look after the lamps.

When the Lancashire distress was quite
over and all need at an end of the cid
Dover house for the mill girls, Mrs.
Gladstone transferred her Clapton or
phans there and added to their number
other children whose fathers and mothers
had died in the London hospital. When
the orphanage got properly established in
the larger house, it comfortably accom-
modated about thirty children.
In the course of her work Mrs. Glad
stone discovered that poor parents found it
more difficult to provide for and manage
their boys than their girls. So the
Hawarden orphanage has come to be
filed by boys. They go to the parish
schools till they are old enough to be ap-
prenticed to trades. There is now a
whole army of we'll doing young men,
who have been brought up in the Hawar
den Castle orphanage. 1t is still in full
tide of the work it has carried on for over
twentyfi five years.
think it would be impossible to emu
merate all the various schemes for the re-
lief of human suffering to which Mrs.
Gladstone has lent hand in the course of
her long and active life; and as for her
private kindnesses the friends who love
her like to dwell on them and on the way
she faithfully sticks to those who need
her aid for years and years, until she sees
them fairly out of the wood.

Refuge. Many boys in distress were con-
ctautiy being discovered, who would GER
tainly drift into life of idleness and dis

which, hazardous as it was at its COM

wooDFoRD FREE coNvALEscENT HOME.
Her free convalescent home arose out of
the necessities OF the sick poor, which
were brought to light by the cholera cpl
demic of 1885, 1t was forced upon the
notice of Mrs. Gladstone that many per-
sons who had passed safely through the
dangers of this and other forms of acute
disease, relapsed into serious and some
times fatal illness from want of that
timely change of air, wholesome food and
comfortable lodging which they are I'M
able to find in their own homes.
Mrs. Gladstone determined to establish
Convalescent home, where admission
would be quickly arranged free OF cost.
She called to her aid committee ofladies
and gentlemen, qualified by their bust
ness experience, their professional knowl-
edge, or their familiarity with the needs

country round. Mr.. Neville, with Lady
Glynne's consent, closed the worst of the
public houses, and began system of
education for the parish and set up
schools in Hawarden village and in the
districts round.
1t was most difficult at first to get either
teachers or scholars. Bribery had to be
resorted to in order to get the mothers to
send their children to school, and the aid
of Lady Glynne and her young girls
brought to bear in the first place to talk
the mothers over, and secondly to get
ready store Of frocks, coats, cloaks and
other useful garments; these were given
away as Christmas prizes, to recompense
the mothers for giving up the services of
their little girls, and the pence which the
boys could pick up at soaring crows and
other juvenile occupations.

fresh peanuts gives the nut-caramel

done may be divided in three parts, kept
liquid in tin cups set in boiling water,
are best unroasted and stirred in while
the caramel boils hard, which gives just
enough of q cooked favor.
AS quickly as possible. pour the cara
mel iuto shallow pans like those for jelly
cake, we'll oiled with melted butter, or
fine salad oil, and warm when the syrup
is put in. Then set cut of doors on ice
till just cold enough to mark off in inch
squares with knife or ruler, or strip of
tin pressed down on the surface, not
drawn across, after which the caramel is
left to harden.
Due regard must be had to the state of
the air for candy making. On a moist,
thawy or rainy day, when the air is full
OF yapor, the syrup will not evaporate or
candy harden well. On such days you
may add the pinch of baking soda, just as
the syrup is taken off, which hardens it
by allowing the escape of much water as
it foams. 1t must be pinch merely, or
it will leave the rank taste which betrays
soda IN cookery.
CHOCOLATE CREAM AND BoNBoNs.
For chocolate creams the finest white
sugar is used. fully one pint or pound
with three tablespoonfuls of water, fl
red or distilled if possible. Dissolve
fore putting on the fire, and boil stead
j till it blobs or snaps with little puffs
OF vapor. As arrowroot is slow to dis
solve, make ready when the sugar goes
on to cook. Neither corn starch nor pc
alto starch will make fine creams, and
only the best arrowroot at so cents
pound m eets the demand. For the pint
of sugar take a dessert spoonful Zone and
half tablespoonfuls), OF arrowroot wet
with q teaspoonful of cream, and stirred
perfectly smooth. When the syrup snaps
and puffs at the candy point, draw it to
the back of the stove and STIR in the ar
rowroot, simmering three minutes and
stirring all the time. Quickly take off
and beat with spoon until cold. By di
yiding the syrnp, You may have vanilla,

The critical time is when just done and
beaten, when it is to be rolled into balls,
big as the end of one's thumb. taking q
teaspoonful and pressing it, and then
rolling on a smooth surface. Confection-
ers have glass or marble slabs for the pur-
pose. Keep the syrup in pan of hot
water, that it may not harden too much
for moulding. Meanwhile have two
squares OF powdered chocolate melting
without water or milk, in a cup or kettle
with rounded base, convenient for rolling
the creams. Drop them in the melted
chocolate, three or four at time, shake
