How to Cook Goldfish.

A new and most excellent dish of cod fish, invented or discovered by Miss Bedford of the New York School of Cookery, is prepared in the following way. As have not the exact formula ] can only give it to you as 1t came to me: Take good sized piece of the fish, freshen and soften it by soaking in cold water and take out the bones. Parboil the fish in milk and season it with white pepper and a dash of paprika. Take from the milk, break into flakes and put into a saucepan with the juice of one onion and large piece of butter, and heat until light brown at the edges. Add to the fish a cupful of the meats of boiled walnuts, thicken the flour in which it was boiled slightly and brown in the oven.

1T IS SAID HE IS TO SECURE ELEvA-
TOR PROPERTY IN MINNEAPOLIS.
St. Paul Dispatch.
The riot act act read to the Mime
apolis millers some time ago is begin
ming to bear fruit.
It was given out cold at that time
that unless the millers aforesaid gave
the Great Northern more of their
business, the Great Northern would
take hand in the business and make
it hot for them.
This was plentifully denied at the
time, but without effect, and local
railroaders now contend that the
Great Northern is taking steps in it's
threatened retaliatory policy.
Not many moons ago President Hill
secured elevator property in Duluth,
and the Minneapolis men looked
askance. Now he is on the eve Of Sc
curing elevator property in Mime
apolis, and the millers are looking
more so. Arrangements have been
made whereby he will secure Elevate
A, the salvage OF Elevator Az, and
about seven acres of contiguous land,
all owned at present by the Mime
apolis Terminal Elevator company,
and the consideration in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 The sale will be
consummated as soon as the legal de-
partment Of the Great Northern has
examined title.
This additional foothold gives the
Great Northern greater opportunities
for worrying the millers, and the rail-
road men point to the policy pursued
in Duluth by president Hill as an evil
dence that there will be no love
0f lob
of his first moves was to cut the price

will repeat it in Minneapolis, and in

advantage of the road. Moreover.
with elevators of his own. he will be
in a position to more rigidly enforce
the rules which apply to Great North
ern freight cars during the wheat
movement. COnsignees who failed to
unload their shipments in time would
find their wheat in the Great North
ern elevators, and they would have to
pay the company'S charge.
1t is conceded generally that the
Great Northern will be winner by
the move, but the grain men do not
like the scheme.
Thank God they don't. II Jim Hill
will only fight the Wheat Ring, and
cut storage and handling charges in
