A DAINTY FOOD.
A New Combination OF Wheat and
Emulsfied Nut Oils.

one of the daintiest foods that has
ever been served Is Malt-Nut,
This new tooihsomc combination of
wheat and nut oils Is the most perfect
food made. BY Il new process the wheat
Is subject TO an intense heat, until the
starch it. converted into deXtrin. This
takes the grain through the first and
hardest stages Of digestion and rem
ders them into "a condition to be AN
simulated by the stomach. Then the
product Is treated to the oil of nuts in
an cmulsiiied or predlgested form.
The whole wheat berry contains all
the elements necessary to sustain life,
when properly prepared. 1t furnishes
the natural phosphates demanded by
nature for the human system.
Nuts contain, In II concentrated form,
the fat and tissue building properties
that the body needs. But nuts In their
natural state are too heafy for most
people TO digest. In preparing Malt
Nuts at the factory of the American
Pure Food Co., Ltd, Battle Creek,
Mich, the makers extract the oil from
the nut and emulsify 1t. process
whereby II is rendered easy of assim-
ilation.
This combination OF wheat and nut
oils gives to Malt,Nut four times the
food properties of beef or mutton, and
n delicate, toothsome, nutty flavor
that pleases the palate OF the athlete
and invalid.
The addition OF milk to few tea.
spoonsful is all that Ia required to
prepare this dainty for the meal. II
can he served hot by stirring / cup

GRAB
BY the Railroad
Corporations.
The Movement TO Aban-
don Canals.
As Viewed By the Columbus
Dispatch.

The movement toward the abandon
ment of the Ohio canal is attributed
by writer in the Columbus Dispatch,
to the same influence which has been
at the back of other attempts to
abandon the canals in the last dozen
years-"namely the Dispatch says,
"the great railroad corporations which
desire to secure these water ways as
rights of way for their lines"
The Dispatch says that the plan has
the support of Attorney General Sheets
and is believed to be formed by Gov
ernor Nash and other members of the
State administration, but that the only
benefciaries of the project will be the
railroads.
1t is further stated that the Cincin-
natl railroads are deeply interested
in this movement and that it Is the
intention to secure the canal property
for right of way for their lines and
there is a glittering scheme for the
building of new depot which will
cost over million dollars, for which
plans have been drafted and which
is ostensibly to be built by the Penn
sylvania railroad. The Dispatch draws
30 IA can ,nt i, -nrry
unlikely any one road will put SO much
money into a depot, and that the de-
pot contemplated is most probably
union depot, which can be reached by
all the roads, when the railroads shall
have succeeded in grabbing the ca
nails"
The conservative members Of the
Legislature, it is further said, who
remember the "Eggleston ave- grab"
of the Pennsylvania railroad in Gin
cinnati in time past, are watchful lest
the new bill to abandon the canals
shall contain another "Santa Claus
| gift to some poor and needy railroad"
In reference to Akron the Dispatch
says
"These conservative members are
looking askance also at bill intro
duced by Representative Buchtel of
Akron, providing that if the canals
are abandoned several miles of the
Ohio canal which enters Akron shall
be surrendered to that city. According
to the bill the city would pay the State
nothing for the canal, and while it is
said that the property is wanted sim
ply because the city water mains are
laid along the bank, there is nothing
to prevent the city donating this part
of the canal to some railroad
The Dispatch writer thinks that If
any bill abandoning the canals is
passed, it will likely be that of Repre-
sentative Painter, of Wood county,
which provides the creation of spe-
cial commission to be appointed by the
Governor and which shall have charge
of the leasing or sale of canals.
The members of the State Board Of
Public Works and State Canal Com
missioners are represented as viewing
the situation with alarm, as they
think the State should preserve the
canals, and they point out that when
ever any part of the canals has been
abandoned it was soon covered with
railroad tracks.

T. 4. Jones, StraNberrH Raneh.

From positive and very pleasant
knowledge the Oregonian is able to give
testimony respecting the quality OF
strawberries grown on the f. A.. Jones
place, 13 miles up Hood river, at an ele-
vation Of 920 feet, where the snow falls
to depth OF from two four feet each
winter. Most OF the Hood River berries
are grown at an elevation of from 200 to
800 feet, hence the crop on the Jones
place does not come in until the greater
part OF the crop is out OF the way. Mr..
Jones put in his place of four and hall
acres, in October 1900, setting 10000
plants to the acre, and this year he is
getting fine return, fortunately at a
time when prices are somewhat advanced
as compared with the height OF the sea-
son. At the Jones place, picking COM
menced on June 81, and Monday OF last
week the highest score for picking and
packing ever made in the valley was re-
corded there. Nine pickers and two
packers put up rs crates of "a pounds
EACH The high picker turned out
425 pounds, and the high packer
packed 80 crates, or 936 pounds. This
work has never been equaled in the
Hood River district. In the valley fields
25 crates is considereda a good days pack,
and it rarely goes over 200 pounds in
day. MrJones estimates that he will
get 200 crates per acre this year and ex.
poets to get something better than $2.25
per crate. After deducting all the ele.
ments OF cost, which he figures at 70
cents per crate, he expects to clean NJ
$500 per acre-certainly not bad profit
These facts explain why good berry land
in the Hood River district is bringing
from $400 to 5000 per acre.-Oregonian

MAY BE ANOTHER POMPEII.
Ruins OF an Ancient SettIem emit
Found Under a Lava Bed in
California,

Edgar Cox, a miner, lately reached
Redding Cal, after hard trip across
the country from Lassen Buttes, 40
miles east of that place, bringing a
story of strange discoveries of even
deeper interest than the great crater
and the springs and caves of the lava
fields. The discoveries are of bones
and implements denoting people and
a state of civilization existing there
many centuries ago, 1t is believed,
says local account, second Pompeii
may be hidden beneath the lava and
igneous rock which was belched in
far remote period from the mouth of
the grim old crater.
A party of timber surveyors investi-
eating their way over the rough coun-
try south of Nooles pass found within
four feet of the surface human bones
half petrifed. They evidently had
lain in much greater depth, but ero-
sion had thinned the crust of earth
above them The skeletons were in
various postures, as though death had
come suddenly upon the ancienta,
striking them down as they were en-
gagged in the daily routine of life. Next
the searchers came upon rude spoons
and bowls. They were apparently of
stone, but they bore no resemblance
to the Indian relics which the traveller
sees often in that region. Instruments
which perhaps were used as hammers
and chisels were found. They, too,
were totally unlike the known imple-
ments of the Indians. Some of the
stone articles were of such design that
they could not be classified at all.
The surveyors became convinced that
they had chanced upon relics of race
that antedated the known Indians so
far as to have little in common with
them
1t was the conviction of the party
that the ruins Of a settlement or city,
possibly engulfed with its inhabitants
by an eruption of the long extinct vol
cano, lie beneath the lava and can be
reached with comparative ease from
certain points where little lava re-
mains,
