Mr.. James H. Frazier showed US some
pictures of his Sherman county ranch,
taken in sheep shearing time. In one
corral are the sheep from which the
wool has been cut and in another one
are the animals who are yet to go
through the process. Large wagon loads
with sacks of wool are just ready to start
for the market, while standing by the
sheds is a group of herders and shearers.
Altogether the scene is typical one and
shows sample of this great wool pro-
ducing country. The pictures would be
a revelation to any one not acquainted
with the large scale on which farming
and wool growing are done in Eastern
Oregon.

Yesterday being beautiful June day,
many of The Dalles citizens wended
their way to the country on various
picnic excursions, and the forks of Mill
creek seemed to be the fayorite place of
resort. During the day plans were
talked over whereby the campers might
get control of the grounds at the forks,
which haye already been so improved IS
to make them very comfortable and
pleasant, but no appropriate name could
be agreed upon to designate the place in
the proposed articles of agreement. In
view of the past history of the place, the
name Of chippewa has been suggested,

Past three score and five, in the full vigor of
his prime, with an erect carriage and a splen-
did gait, fairly strong and lusty, John Andreas
greets you as you enter his little house on the
road.
He has travelled much, seen the various
peoples of the Old World, and has COM
placent, self-satisfed air which gives one ease,
even comfort, in his presence. He told me
that short time ago he began to have failing
sight, not that his eyes were weak, but there
seemed to be film over them. His daughter
had to read the papers to him in the evening.
His face was sallow and jaundiced. His sys-
tenn seemed all out of order. Being given a
small sample OF the Home Remedy, joys Vege-
table Sarsaparilla, he tried it. The only noted
effect was on the bowels He then bought a
bottle of Joys Vegetable sarsaparilla and be-
gan taking the medicine regularly. After
using half a bottle he noticed his face was not
quite so sallow as it was, and that he could
walk longer with small sense of fatigue. He
continued to use the remainder of the bottle of
joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla and his eyes re-
covered their wonted vim and brilliancy. His
daughter did not need to read to him any more.
He is happy man and does not care who
knows it.

PLANT OF AN ENGINEER,

for His Work.
Had Acted Under De Lesseps and
Lately Surveyed for ROAD
"on Paper"

n. J. Bowie has sued Frederick Homer
for $219, III, alleged to be due on contracts.
The nature of one of these contracts IS
not stated in the complaint, but the other
was an alleged contract to give plalnthi
$500, 900 paid up shares, "should SAID oe-
fendant be instrumental in the formation
of company or companies to build rail-
way in certain sections of the country, IN
cluding the San Joaquin Valley"
It is stated that on December 19, 1854,
the defendant was instrumental IN the 1or-
nation of the San Francisco and Los An
geles Railway Company, having for lus oo-
iect the building of railway in the san
Joaquin Valley, wherefore the plalntlff
sues for the shares.
Attorney w. III. Fl. Hart, who appeared
for the plaintiff, states that Bowie is an ex-
pert engineer. He is Frenchman who
worked for Ferdinand de Lesseps in his in
ternational enterprises at Suez and
Panama.
Hart declares that Homer is always pro-
noting new railroads and that he has three
or four at present con paper" He says
that Homer engaged Boyle to do the en-
gineering work in surveys, etc, for the
San Francisco and Atlantic Railroad, to
run from San Francisco to Cincinnati.
Borie, he says, was at work on the road
for three years preceding May 10, 1891, and
made his report. Homer had replied that
he could not pay him then, but gave him
his note for four years and made the con-
tracts referred to in the complaint.
Bowie has done all the work on the
railroads in question and simply wanted
his paw for services.

THE CHEAPNEss OF
ELECTRICAL COOKING.

There is common belief outside of cleo
trlcal circles that electric cooking must for
long time be too expensive to become gen
eral. R. E. Crompton, the English pioneer
in this branch of work, has done praise
worthy thing in disabusing the public
mind of this idea. In recent lecture Mr.
Crompton adduced certain facts which es-
tablish conclusiyely the superior economy
as well as efficiency of cooking by electric
heat. The success which has crowned the
perseyering efforts of the advocates OF
electric cooking has been in very large
measure due to the splendid accuracy with
which they have been able to measure the
temperature actually obtained and the
quantity of heat actually required IN varl-
Gus culinary operations. AS is pointed out
by an English electrical journal, until eX-
act data had been obtained upon these
points not even the best-informed person
could credit the tremendous wastetulness
OF existing methods. 1t was hardly sur
prising that few people should have any
faith IN the future posslbllltles OF electrlc
heating, which, being supplied at the start
with mere per cent OF the total energy
OF the coal, could scarcely have Deen eX-
pected, even with a 80 per cent EMERGENCY,
to compete with coal fires until 1t was as
exceeded per cent. This enormous waste
is due to the fact that with the sole excep-
ton of boiling and stewing all the opera
tions of cookery depend on the radiation OF
heat to the substance to be cooked. rake,
for instance, the process of grllllng chop;
consider how much coke has TO be burned
before bed of glowing fuel tit for the pur-
pose is obtained, and note that after the
clear grilling fire is in order 20 per cent OF
the heat goes up the chimney, 16 per cent
is radiated into the room or employed In
roasting the cook, male or female, as the
case may be, and it will not be difficult to
understand that the chop itself does not
receive more than per cent of the total
heat units. On the other hand, with
properly arranged griller, heated by cleo
trical means, fully 65 per cent OF the heat
energy in the electricity is utilized in the
meat. The electrically worked kitchen
may be kept as cool as q dairy if it be de-
sired, and the effects on the quality of the
cooking. and on the health and tempers of
the staff must be experienced to be ap-
preciated. In cooking with the gas stove
it is necessary to allow ventilating cur
rents of air to pass over the surfaces which
are cooking. These currents of air dry up
and harden and take away the flavor of
the outer portions of the meat. With
electrical cooking the absence of any ven-
tilating currents and the stiffness of the
air prevent such drying and hardening
action; the meat is found to be tender
and JUICY right up to the extreme outer
surface; it is Drowned only to'a sufficient
extent to please the eye and the palate.

A HALF-|NTEREST DEAL.
Mrs. Martha GottSChang Has a
PenChant for Selling
Her Saloon.
With Carl Vogt, Who Has
Her Arrested.

Mrs Martha Gottschang, saloon-keeper,
was arrested yesterday by Detectives Dill
lon and Crockett on the charge of obtain
ing money by false pretenses, and John
Faulhammer, butcher, was also arrested
on the charge of grand larceny.
Mrs. Gottschang has, apparently, pen
chant for selling half-interest in her
saloon to any person who comes under
her wiles. When she had a saloon at liz
Geary street she sold the half-interest to
two or three people, but escaped punish
ment by compromising with them.
After leaving the Geary-street saloon she
opened out at 800 Third street under the
name Of Mrs. Erwood. She advertised for
a partner and Carl Vogt called upon her
on Wednesday. She told him she was an
arried woman and was anxious to get
not only partner in her business but a
partner in her joys and sorrows. The bait
took and Vogt paid her $3.50 for half
interest in the business and a prospect of
getting the other half by marrying his
partner.
There was only barrel of whisky in the
saloon, but Mrs. Gottschang told Vogt she
had ordered supplies of all sorts OF liquor.
When Vogt went to the saloon the follow
ing day he found that the barrel OF whisky
had disappeared and an empty barrel had
been put in its place. There was nothing
in the saloon. and he came to the conclu-
sion he had been swindled, so he notified
the police.
Detectives Dillon and Crockett found
that Faulhammer had taken the barrel of
whisky to his shop on Mason and Union
streets ON Wednesday, after Vogt had
left the saloon, and it was recovered.
w hen searched at the City Prison Faul-
hammer had sos of the money paid by
Vogt in his pockets, which he said he
had received from Mrs. Gettschang, and
she had $33 in her pocket.
Mrs. Gottschang is a married woman,
and her husband is in Hartford, Conn.
She left him after three months of mar
ried life and came to this City. Faul-
hammer was the only friend she knew
here. She is smart woman, but the
police say they have sure case against
her this time.

THE BUILDING APPROVED.
Congratulations for Claus
Spreckels and for "The
Calls" New Home.
BEAUTY, STRENGTH, PROGRESS
Inspired by the Design an Architect
Projects His Fancy Into the
Future.

The announcement that new home for
| THE CALL would soon adorn Market street
in this City has elected deluge of con-
| gratulations from all quarters. Friends
are Fastening to commend the beauty and
strength of the proposed ffteen-story
marble structure and TO express apprecia-
ton of the enterprise of Claus Spreckels in
its design.
The cordiality of the many correspond
| ents seems to have been variously &C
centuated by individual tastes. While
one indites friendly eulogy of the archi-
tectural qualities indicated by the plan,
others expatiate on the point of the ex-
elusive employment of California ma
terial and the encouragement thus given
to local industry. Many citizens appear
particularly appreciative of the additional
dignity which the stately pile viii impart
to the main thoroughfare of the leading
CITY on the Pacific Coast.
The massive proportions of the proposed
building have also kindled the magma
ton of experts, and suggested visions OF
the Coming structure" or the many
stored building of the future. Among
speculations on this head may be given
the following letter:
Editor Call: You are to be congratulated, and
are by us, and have good reason to feel proud OF
your new home that is to be, which, when
completed, will be San Francisco's best, and
will stand for many generations as monu-
ment to the public-spiritedness OF Claus
Spreckels, who, more than any other one
wealthy man in this city of the present, has
"practicaiZed" his convictions as to the future
of the metropolis of California. botn in grand
buildings and railroad enterprises 1t will also
be O perpetual evidence of Messrs. Reid Bros.
splendid architectural abilities
Its great altitude also leads to the thought
whether the extreme of height of buildings in
San Francisco will be reached in its construc.
ton. 1t may have its peers in number OF
stories in other cities, but not in its magn1h-
cence, so far as informed by personal travel
and observation through the Eastern States or
any printed illustrations are concerned.
The evolutionS have brought to the front
| tens of thousands of great things. Why not
yet more in building? Rejection and repudia-
| ton is more the evidence of mind limitations
| than proof of i'm posi- bilities.
| That twofold greater strength than yet at
tanned and practiced in tall buildings is clearly
| in sight; to minimize vibrations is q certainty,
! provided the earth-space covered is rock or
| other formation sufficient to carry the load i'm
| posed San Francisco sandbeds are good.
| Present developments and results overshadow
| all former-will not the coming generations, If
| not some of the present, climb to still greater
| heights and produce buildings or altitude we
dare not name? JAMES E. WOLFE, Architect.
