has not only succeeded in this, but in
the herculean task of lifting the college
, from debt ridden state to one of indie

President Pace came to the college a
year ago to find it saddIed with en-
cumbrance7 of $1,000 This he has re-
duced in his first twelve months to 5000
and in another month be hopes TO lift
that slight burden. He has been ably

FRUIT DRYER WILL START.
Will Pay So a Ton for Italian
Prunes, Delivered.

W. X. Allen, who has fruit dryers all
over Oregon, and also a large one at
ElbertOn, has taken charge of the HuIin
fruit dryer in South COlfax, and now has
a force of men cleaning and renovatiug
it, in preparation for the fall campaign.
c. c. Curtis, in charge of the work and
chief of the evaporating department,
said to The Gazette:
'We will be ready for the fruit when
ever it comes in now, and have contract
ed for enough to start up on nicely. The
capacity will be about II tons of green
prunes daily. We will dry Italian prunes
only. No other varieties or any other

the orchards tributary are of this va
riety, but there are some German prunes
and some Of the French, or Petite, va
rlety. The German we cannot handle,
for this year, at least, and as to the
Petite, we cannot compete at all with
California, where they dry them on the
sand at little or no expense, and sell the

A TWO-MILL RAISE.
Tax Levy for This Year 10 Mills
Against II for 1900.

The board of county commissioners
have found it necessary in the course oil
human events to raise the tax levy for
this year two mills, laying it at 10 mills
on the taxable dollar, against II mills
last year. The recommendation made
by Auditor Raby was for 16 mills, but
the board could not see it's way clear
toward raising the necessary revenue at
this figure. The state levy laid upon
the county is responsible for one mill OF
this, the rate of the state having been
raised that figure for school purposes,
each child receiving SO for educational
purposes instead of So as heretofore.
Following is the levy for the different
funds: State, 8 2S1426 mills; county.
3 1854 mills; current expense fund
4.696s5 mills (raising $64, ISL .33); road
and bridge fund, 2 mills; school fund
mills; sinking fund (for redemption OF
outstanding bonds), l mill; INDECENT
soldiers fund, .021624 mills-total. 10
mills.

TO OPEN NEW STREET
Effort by the Council to Extend
Morton to Poverty Flat.
County Commissioners Asked To
Bridge the North Paiouse-New
Ordinances Enacted.

The city council met Monday evening
in regular session, Mayor Lippitt pre-
siding, and present COuncilmen Barroll,
Gold, Dingle, Dumb, Mastin and Van
Schoick. Absent, Wheeler.
In regard to the proposed opening OF
Morton street, 80 az to give the children
Of Poverty fiat access to the Ward
school, the street committee reported
that the extension had been viewed and
the brush cut out, the boundary lines of
the street extended, and that the same
ia now in shape to show the amount OF
work required to open it to travel. j.
h. Eacho addressed the council as to
the necessity of opening the street and
pledged $500 of private funds in aid OF
the Improvement.
Councilman Mastin introduced a mo-
ton that the city proceed to open Nor
ton street, making a 24-foOt roadway
and constructing a small bridge over
the old river channel; provided, that the
county commissioners construct a bridge
across the North Palouse river, on said
street. The motion was carried by the
votes of BarrolI, Codd, Dingle, Dumb,
Mastin and Van Schoick.
The proposition of the city has been
laid before the county commissioners,
but as yet no action has been taken.
The river bridge would cost probably
$500.
Current expense fund claims to the
amount of $S1435, and water fund
claims of $4S1 .6S-total, $1296.03-
were ordered paid.
Chairman Mastin of the street COM
mittee submitted report of the
cost of constructing the approaches
to the Spring fat bridge, which was
$197.35. The report was filed.
From the same committee came a re-
port of building a new bridge over the
mill race, on Mill street, the report ex-
planning the necessity for prompt action
and giving the cost of construction at
500. The report was filed.

THE KITCHEN RANGE
AND ITS SURROUNDINGS.

| Concretely, the range, whatever its
/ breed or pattern, is the most potent
| factor in kitchen convenience. Some
times it turks in q recessed chimney,
with a boiler standing stark at one side
and a wall running up on the other
Oftener it is thrust in high relief
against the chimney breast or set a lit
tie way off the wall, with the pipe run
i ming well up toward the ceiling, Either
way, it is unlikely the kitchen makers
and builders saw fit to- do more than
leave bare wall behind it.
Right here an opportunity appears
since nowhere else is space of SO much
| value. Begin to utilize it with a broad
shelf all the way across as high up as
you can reach. If the pipe interferes,
have the shelf cut out to accommodate
it, taking care not to let the wood come
close enough to be scOrched.
A shelf 10 inches wide, well and stout
| ly braced underneath, will hold the
| things that need to be kept warm and
dry, as rice, cereals. beans, starch, bar
soap-it goes a third farther for hard
ening-salt, pepper in the pod, cracker
and bread crumbs in glass jars, tea and
lump sugar
All but the soap should be in tin or
glass and plainly marked. Pile the soap
bars loghouse fashion and do not cover
them. Hang a, light, cheap but depend
able clock from a screw hook under
meath. Thus at a glance everything can
be timed in cooking.
Below the big shelf, upon the side
next to the sink, have three narrower
shelves, with a roller door. There keep
all the light kitchen artillery-sauce-
pans, swimmers, strainers, flesh forks,
Harding needles, cake turner's. Over
against these three shelves. upon the
other side of the range. have cabinet,
cut into spaces, for all sorts of condi-
ments and havorings-
Label each compartment and keep ev-
erything in place. The -four dredge be-
longs there, the salt shaker, the pepper
casters, tarragon, vinegar, onion juice,
garlic in Glove and in essence, celery
salt fine herbs. duly powdered; mush-
ROOM walnut and tomato catchup, pa
prilxa, tabasco, capers and gherkins for
garnishing; port wine. sherry. claret and
brandy, mustard, dry and made; grated
horse radfsh and grated cheese. In the
compartments next the range set a
graduated measuring glass and three
spoons salt, tea and dessert sizes
Seasoning over the fire, which is one
secret of delicate flavor, is easy to cook
thus equipped The cabinet should have
roller door like the shelves. In the
bottom of both there ought to be blunt
screw hooks for hanging holders
With gas range, fit into the space
between shelves and closet the biggest
double matchbox obtainable Matches
are ever so much cheaper than gas.
Jets should be extinguished when not
needed. though they may have to be re-
lighted five times after.
