SIX RECIPES FOR SOUPS.

Bean Soup-Use cold boiled or
baked beans. Mash them through q
colander, add boiling water, some but
ter and plenty of salt and pepper.
Boil until Of the proper consistency.
Corn Soup-Take six ears OF young
tender corn (sweet corn is best, cut
down each row of grains with knife,
then scrape. Put on to boil with plentJ
of water. When nearly done add
quart of milk, salt and pepper, and o
little -four and butter to thicken.
Vegetable Soup-Take the liquid In
which you have boiled beef, and into
this put some sliced turnips, fe"
potatoes, a very small head of cabbage
finely chopped, two or three tomatoes,
and a small red pepper. Let it SIM
mer slowly until done. Small onion
if desired.
Bread Soup-Place over the fire
sufficient quantity of milk to I'LL a
large dish. Let it come to boil and
then pour into the dish in which you
have previously broken r.p scraps OF
partially dry bread, with sufficient
pepper and salt to season. Let 1t
stand few minutes before serving.
Cabbage soup-select small head
of cabbage. Chop or slice it very hne.
Then put on to boil in little water
in which small piece of meat has
been cooking, with handful of o.t-
meal. Cook until cabbage is thorough

ammonia is put into enough water to
soak the articles, and they are left In
it an hour or two before washing; and
if cupful is put into the water in

which the articles can be washed and
their great whitenessa and clearness

ExAMInAraoN Of YOUNG MES
DlTT.


The preliminary examination Of
Watson NJ. Nssbitt, Jr., charged with
robbing the Gold Hill company's safe
At Quartzburg, began last Tuesday
morning before Judge T. s. Hart.
The safe was robbed Of 1900 in gold
coin, including sovereign, watches,
ETC., belonging to VIM. Frame, and .
gold bar. ETC., belonging to the Gold
Hill company. Mr.. Frame could not
swear to the exact number Of twenty,
ten and Ave dollar gold pieces in the
safe, but said there were more twen-
ties than fves and more 6ves than
tens. When searched the young
man had in his possession twelve
twenties, three tens, four fives and an
English sovereign. Mr.. Frame testi-
fed that he remembered the date OF
the soveign-l826 1t being the year
in which one OF his brothers was born.
He had, for this reason, intended to
present it to his mother. This waa
the date of the coin found on young
Nesbitts person. The defendant
claims he got this coin in Utah,
through exchange, and that the gold
coin was earned by him in Utah
When searched, as stated in Tues
days WORLD, the coin was found in
q buckskin purse, under his armpit
attached to . leather string that
passed around the neck and under the
arm. He said he was in the habit oi
carrying money that way when h
was travelling and had any grea'
amount. Three tin keys were found
near the safe after the robbery. None
of these keys would 60 into the key
hole of the safe, SO it was impossible
for the safe to have been opened Will
them. Watson Nesbitt, Sr., testified
that both he and his son carried ths
keys of the safe until two or three
days before the robbery, when young
Nesbitt gave them to him, saying hi
did not want to carry them any lon
ger. The old man said he had pos
session of the keys continually from
that time until after the robbery
Only one Of the keys would open th.
safe. Old man Nesbitt swore he hat
never seen even as much as . nicke
in the safe 1t any time previous Il
the robbery. The testimony is YER,
long, many witnesses having been sx
amined, but the above are all the i'm
portant points.
The examination was still in prog
ress when the WORLD went to pres

The Payette Independent gives
the following description of the new
gold saving machine which was put
up near Caldwell:
The machine consists, in the main,
of four copper tanks, each four feet
long, about two inches wide, with the
sides about an inch high. The tanks,
which are arranged similar to the
steps of a stairway, are half filed
with quicksilver and the mysterious
chemical compound.
The dirt, after being finely "griz-
zled," is carried over an inclined Ia
BILE by q stream of water of about
the thickness of knife blade. Just
before coming in contact with the
first tank, it encounters lip which
turns it directly into the tank. Here
about nine -tenths Of the gold is ANAL
gamated and the remainder passes on
to be caught in the succeeding tanks.
The object of the chemical is to
vitalize and quicken the quicksilver,
but for fear this will not be sufficient
to amalgamate the fine particles of
gold, All electric current is constantly
supplied to the copper tanks, thus
further increasing the activity of the
quicksilver.
DR.. Macy said the machine was
being worked on claim that pros
pectors had pronounced worthless
and from which they had removed
their rockers in disgust.
sit is fact" he continued, "not-
withstanding this, that the Portland
machine is now saving $2.40 per Gu
bic yard. When it is known tha,
thirty or forty yards of dirt can be
worked in day with one machine
and there are hundreds upon hun
dreds of acres OF ground that will pay
fair wages with an ordinary rocker
the possibilities of such a machine
are wonderful to contemplate.
The doctor says the inventor of the
machine, who is now operating it Al
Parma, will either sell or lease ma
chimes and will guarantee them to dc
good work. "He does not ask bonu,
or royalty as understand it. HI
says he has machine that will saw,

want to-"
To prove the thoroughness of tn
invention, the doctor says the inven
tor has offered standing reward 70

gold in the tailings.

Caldwell Tribune.

Caldwell Tribune.
Governor Mcconnell has clearly
outlined his policy on the irrigation
question and will recommend to the
next Legislature such legislation as
will tend to ultimately vest ownership
of water and waterways in the people
who till the soil. The aim of the
Tribune has been to thoroughly i'm
press on the minds of the people tho
fundamental principle that separate
ownership in land and water is inim-
icable to the prosperity of the arid
regions. The idea has advanced with
gratifying rapidity during the last
four months, and it is safe to say that
outside of the canal companies there
is no sentiment in favor of the sys-
tenn which at present prevails in the
grea. Snake River valley. Such a
law should be enacted as will do am
pie justice to the projectors of pri-
vate irrigating enterprises. They
are not to be regarded as public en-
emies to be destroyed by any means,
The majority of them went into those
enterprises without full realization
of consequences. They looked upon
an irrigation canal as 4 scheme fol-
money making, and, incidentally, be-
ne6cence. The money put into those
canals should be returned to the in.
vestors with fair interest; the mer
who engineered the schemes should
receive fair compensation and the
people should get the canals. II
terms cannot be made with presen,
canal owners, then the State mus
construct its own canals. We be-
lieve the matter can be arranged
without serious difficulty. The ca
nal people are already beginning t.
realize that the business is not wha
they expected it would be. As th'
days go by, interest accumulates ant
the anticipated revenue does not ma
terialize. In other words, the cana
companies have panned almost to bed
rock and haven't struck the pay streal
yet. Speculative irrigation is de
lusion and snare. 1t ruins the pro
iectors and paralyzes the country.
