sive enough. Its grievance is to be
carried to the legislature direct and its
request for legal fence around itself
includes a demand for a representa-
tive in both houses of the legislature
SO that the interests of the cottagers
may be safeguarded.
In a word, the summer cottagers
nave opened a war of secession-or
that portion of Newport which spends
much money every summer does. 1t

From the defiling influence of the
common herd that works for living
there all the year round it would be
severed by the legislative knife.
A circular 600 words in length has
been made public, preliminary to the
proposed presentation of a petition to
the next legislature, which meets in
January. in which the alleged griev-
ances Of the summer people and the
treatment given them by the city are
set forth, and the plan for a new
township outlined.

or less friction between the summer

RAILWAY COMMISSION WILL CON :
SIDER COAL RATE CHARGES
NEXT MONTH.
Manufacturers Association Of Seattle
Will Be Permitted to Join
In the Hea ing.

The Manufacturers association of
Seattle will be permitted to join in the
hearing on the joint rate application OF
Colfax coal dealers before the state
railroad commission. If the question
of the commissions right to fix joint
rates is taken into court the attorneys
for the Manufacturers association will
be permitted to assist E. c. Mcdonald,
assistant attorney general, who is in
charge of all legal matters affecting
the commission.
At the Spokane conference held be-
fore the members of the commission
went to Deadwood to attend the ma
tional convention of railroad commits
sioners, O. r. & N. officials asserted
that they you'd resist any effort of the
commission to fix joint rates. These
officials pointed out the fact that the
Northern Pacific refused to enter into
an agreement with them on through
traffic to the Sound and the o. r. & N
declined to be short hauled where
ever shippers of the Hill lines sug-
gested in this state.
A rumor has reached the railroad
commissioners that the O. r. &, n. Will
restore the old coal rate into Colfax
from the Northern Pacifc's Roslyn
mines. This rumor, however, makes
it plain that the O. r. & n. still de-
mics the authority of the railroad COM
mission to establish joint rates.
The application made by the Mann
facturers' association of Sea tie for
Joint rates into O. r. G n. territory
that Seattle houses may compete with
Portland and San Francisco presents
the same question, Sooner or later i
is believed the legality of joint rate
rulings must be fought out in the
courts and the invita- ion to the Man
ufacturers' association to join will be
based on that conclusion.
A meeting of the commission was

In the circular it is asserted that the
the taxes of the city of Newport and
that they are,not given the treatment
they believe is due them. They al
lege that the value of thir property has
deprecated in recent years because
the city has not made improvements
as it has done in other parts Of the

Disappearance Cleared W
in Wyoming.

MONMOUTH, ILL.,, Sept. 19.-The
mysterious disappearance of Del Cas-
ton from his family in this city ten
years ago, and the recent discovery of
his whereabouts by Warren county
detectives, would furnish Sherlock
Holmes ample material for good
sized volume.
The case is more particularly inter-
esting to the Modern Woodmen Of
America. Many believed CASTOR to be
dead, but Notwithstanding several
bouts in circuit and appellate courts
to collect the amount of the insurance
policy held by CASTOR and made pay
able to his wife, the Modern Woodmen
refused to pay the claim. 1t is, how
ever, understood that at a meeting to-
morrow in Rock Island the Woodmen
hod agreed to compromise for $500.
Ever since Gaston's disappearance,
officers have never doubted that ne
could be found. Recently a clue led
the detectives to Wyoming, where, in
a secluded retreat, 40 miles from rail
road, the missing Woodman was found.
He had remarked and was living as
ranchman under an assumed name. He
was fully identified by City Marshal
Sloat and City Attorney Glendenin of
this city, His first wife and four chill
dren reside here. He will probably be
arrested for bigamy.

The telephone ordinance that
passed its second reading as
though it was oiled, received a
jar at the council meeting Mon
day night.
1t seems that before its final
passase Mr.. Morehead requested
the mayor to appoint committee
from the council to negotiate
terms between the home company
and the rural company. With
this in view the final reading of
said ordinance was postponed
until the first meeting in JANUARY,

Matthew Hoffman Dead.

The numerous friends of Mat

Friday morning to learn of his
sudden demise. For some time
past he has been in failing

where he has spent q large por-

have been sorely afflicted during
their residence here. Some
eight years ago the husband
and father was drowned in the

sons and a daughter have been
taken from the widowed mother
by death. A son and daughter
are left to comfort her in her

The anxiously anticipated Elks
reception occurred last Friday
night, and to describe it as a
social success is to do scant justice
to the splendid entertainment
given by the lodge to some two
hundred guests. The spacious
and beautifully appointed club
rooms were lavishly decorated
with roses and asparagus ferns
which, together with the bril-
liant costumes of the company,
presented picture of beauty long
to be remembered. The amuse-
ments were divided between the
ball room where about fifty coup
les of the younger set congre-
gated, the card rooms and the
billiard room. Each of these
places was thronged with guests
until the early hours of the morn-
ing and happier company never
assembled in Falls City. Punch
was served in the bali room par
lor and delightful lunch was
served in the dining rooms. Many
out of town guests were present
among whom we noted Judge and
Mrs. McCarty, County Attorney
and Mrs. French, Messrs. Howe,
Ely and Eustice and Misses Eus-

TO MAKE cocoANur CREAM.
sImpIe Process That Yields Excellent
Substitute for Butter.

The cocoanut Is more extensively
used, perhaps. as a food than any
other nut. In certain OF the Pacific
islands 1t constitutes almost an ex-
elusive dietary. Cows. dogs. donkeys.
chickens, in fact almost every living
thing, even certain species of crabs.
live on the cocoanut, ingeniously
working a way to the meat through
the one open eye of the nut. In the
country where It grows the cocoanut
is very largely eaten in the half-ripe
state. At this stage the meat is jelly
like in consistency and may be eaten
with a spoon. 1t is very toothsome
and nourishing. TIE meat OF the ripe
nut is very hard to digest and can
scarcely be masticated sufficiently to
prepare 1t for entering the stomach.
The best use which can be made OF
the meat of the ripe cocoanut Is In
the preparation of the cocoanut cream.
which is an excellent substitute for
butter. This may be easily accom-
plished by the following method: Re
move the meat and put 1t through an
ordinary vegetable shredder. Pour
over the pulp twice the quantity OF
boiling water and let stand for half
an hour. then strain through a fine
cloth. and let the milk SO obtained
stand for three or four hours In
cold place. A rich cream rises.
which may be used in the same way
as dairy cream, or like ordinary
cream. may be worked into butter.
