The Roanoke times. (Roanoke, Va.) 1897-1977, 1897-11-25

n number OF persons in Portland,
Oregon, have been experimenting in
the matter OF preparing evaporated
vegetables, with Il view of supplying
Alaskan miners. The most desired
thing of the kind is evaporated on
ions. and some trouble has been eX-
perienced in preparing these in a sat
lsiactory manner. 1t has been found
that not every kind Of onion can be
evaporated satisfactorily. Only tho
very best quality of onions will answer
the purpose. An onion-grower who
has been experimenting with various
kinds Of onions has at last found one
kind which fills the bill perfectly. A
large tin case full of the evaporated
onions prepared by him was exhibited
by a Third street dealer and though
they looked much like shavings, they
smelled and tasted like onions and
made ones eyes water to look at them.
The man who has found out the best
kind Of onion for evaporating does
not give out what variety it is, as he
intends to use all of the kind he can
get hold of. There will be plenty of
evaporated fruits and vegetables to
supply all bound for Klondike next
spring. The onions spoken OF cost
about so cents a pound, and sack OF
onions, it is said, only makes three
pounds

Hunt AiIigators for "A Living.

There are men in the swamps Of
the south who make their living by
hunting alligators," said Il man who
has just returned from that region.
Their mode OF hunting the Saurians
is very ingenious, as well as success
full. In the summer, when the swamps
dry out, the alligators which abound
there in large numbers, live in holes
ten on moro feet deep and inclined or
slanting. The weapon of warfare used
upon these creatures is long pole,
at the end of which is a sharp steel
prod and hook. This is run down in
to the hole and the alligator is prod
ded until he becomes mad, then ho
snaps the hook like fish and is i'm
mediately caught. He is then drawn
mp to the mouth of the hole and is
shot through the eye until dead. The
teeth are extracted and the hide cut
of. Both are sold at some near by
place. Some parts of the alligator are
eaten, if it be young"
