A Big Hop Ranch.

Patterson's hop ranch at Little Falls
not tar from Chehalis, has the largest
single lot of hops in the state, it is
said At any rate there are some sew
entyfive tons of hops there worth
about $4,000 and there are any num-
Der of buyers who want them if they
can get them for about II cents a
pound.
The owner, however, has set Ii cents
as his minimum figure, and as he is
"well fixed" he is not worrying at all
about selling.
James Knox, OF Puyallup, says that
it is a very nice lot Of hops. The
ranch itself is one of the largest in the
state devoted to hop raising, the hops
being grown on clay soil. They gave
a yield of ton to the acre.
The owner of the ranch was an old
time hotel proprietor in Kalama, and
has taken great pride in the establish
ment of his home and farm, spending
several thousand dollars in preparing
the site, planting fine trees, ETC., be-
fore he built his house. 1t is without
question one of the best rural homes
in western Washing ton.-Ledger.

Are Public Morals Improving!

South Carolina is greatly alarmed
over the growth of murder in that
state and press and pulpit have Joined
in taking up the subject IN hope of
fin ling a remedy The Charleston
News and Courier published statistics
showing that year by year in the past
decade the number of indictments for
homicide OF one sort or another has
increased. It was 102 in 1887, 143 in
1881, POP in 1896, and about 24O in
the twelve months just closed. The
aggregate since 1885 is. so far as rec
ords show, 1852. That figure in
clu,.ps Il few accidents and suicides,
but, on the other hand, there would
be added more than enough murders
to make up for them if the records of
certain courts for certain terms were
obtalnable. Not county IN the state
has been without tragedy during the
past year, and in all except four there
were more than one. Charleston had
eighteen, Aiken, sixteen, Saluda and
Sumpter fourteen each, and the aver
age for tho thirty-eight counties is 81.

State Insurance Co. Assets.

OLYMPIA, Dec. 24.-The state treas
urer has nished the work of making
up the total of the claims of Washing
ton claimants against the defunct
State Insurance company, Of Salem,
Or These claims aggregate So, $780,
So allowed and $2,216.60 rejected.
The securities in the hands of the
treasurer amounts to trifie over $780,
600 face value, bat no guess can be
made as to how much will be realized
from their sale, bids for which will be
received by the treasurer until March
/, 1898, and therefore no idea can be
given as to the percentage that will be
finally paid, but it is not likely to be
very large.

Some Evils Avoided.

A farmer writes to the United
States land Office at Wakeenv, Kas.,
his claim: 81 voluntarily
surrender all my right, title and in
terest in said land forever and irrevo-
cably to the eminent domain OF our
own Uncle Sam. Blessed be his
magnanimous great heart for that
benefcent homestead law that plants
the settler on his lonely claim forty
miles from nowhere and out of Gods
knowledge, to delve fortune from
the bosom of Mother Earth, to the
tune of billiards, cyclones, grasshop-
pers and chinch bugs" If the Kan
san had located in Washington in
stead of where he did he would bless
the government. He would have
avoided the evils he enumerates anC
had a farm on which he could raise
forty bushels of wheat per acre, anG
where he could raise live stock on
pasturage the whole year through
with ready market for all his pro-
duets. Come west, old man.-Ledger

How to Keep Eggs Fresh.

Now that eggs are scarce and dear
many people remember that but Il few
months ago this necessary ingredi-
ent of pumpkin pie, doughnuts and
clear coffee was plenty and cheap. So
now inquiries are numerous "for the
recipe for keeping eggs eight months
as good as fresh laid" Take three
ounces cream of tartar, two quarts of
lime, one quart salt, eight gallons Of
water. Bring the water to boil, then
add the lime and let it boil l5 min
utes; then add salt and cream of tar
tar. When cool put the eggs in when
fresh laid and keep III a cool, dark
place and they will keep, sure enough
eight months, or for that matter a
year more.
