from the south, but there was activity
i'm another direction which necessitated
speedy action. Borax Smith from Lud-
low on the Santa Fe in California, had
begun to throw dirt on a line headed
northeast for the Bullfrog country and
had already reached a point 80 miles on
the way. Here he is balked, however,
as at this point the road runs through
a heavy canon and the grade is difficult.
Smith could not get his men to work on
this canon cut at this time of year be-
cause of insufferable heat. Men died OF
like flies and the rest fed from the death
pit He though the work might be done
by contract and advertised for bids. 1t
was estimated that there were 13 miles
of this canon work that would cost $780,
900 per mile, but no contractor would
bid on it because of the exceeding diff
ficulties of the work, and more especial
ly because of their inability to get labor
ers this time of year. Smith is there
fore tied up until winter, and his COM
pettors are gaining an advantage over
him that will seriously affect his plans.
But the plans are not Smiths 1T ap-
pears; there is a gloved hand directing
his movements. Smith is only another
name for Gould, and the Smith road is
only intended as the southwest division
of a road George Gould is to build from
point on the Western Pacific on the
north down through Tonopah and Gold
field, on to Bullfrog and thence to Los
Angeles and the coast.
GOULD SHOWS HIS HAND
In building his road down through
Nevada, Gould enters the enemies coun-
try. The distractions which have been
thrown in Gould's way by the Southern
Pacific in the building Of his Western
Pacific railroad are well known to the
railroad world. The Southern Pacific
commenced to fight the Western Pacific
road the moment Gould announced his
intention of extending his Rio Grande
railroad from Ogden to the coast. Gould
now not only intends to parallel the
Southern Pacific with his transconti-
mental rood but to get even with Har-
riman, will build this short cut through
the great gold fields of Nevada to Los
Angeles and the coast, reaching these
points many hours sooner than the
Southern Pacific by way of Sacramento
Or San Francisco, and evading the
trouble that would arise from trying to
build through Southern Pacific territory
from San Francisco south to reach the

We are told that when F. w.
Kettenbach, of Lewiston, and l..
N. Swift, of Nezperce, were in
the city recently they stated
that they considered Cottonwood
had brighter prospects than any
other town on the prairies and
made the positive statement that
just as soon as the railroad con-
tract was let they would put in a
bank here and would also erect
grain warehouses here this year.
They will perhaps use the north
room of the Goldstone store for
their bank building and it is quite
possible the new institution will
be ready to open by April LIST or
perhaps sooner.

WHITE TAILOR SUITS.
They Are Pretty ard Will Be Much in
Vogue for Winter.

Tailor suits Of white broadcloth and
serge are made with a touch of black.
One long redingote in broadcloth had
a black silk collar, with a little white
embroidery. White cloth princess
costumes are trimmed with black vel
vet in the shape of revers, straps,
pockets, cuffs and collar. Sometimes
all of these appear in one gown. An
other white serge street costume was
in Elton shape, and had vest and cuffs
of black silk laid over with white lace
and white cord. 1t was finished with
white silk buttons, with loops of cor
responding cords, and was worn over
a white lace blouse. Both white
serges and cloths made for spring
wear are reduced now because soiled,
and as they clean beautifully and
promise to be more worn this winter
than even last, they are specially
good investment. An all white cloth,
with long redingote, which had been
marked we'll over 500, was bought
the other day for $50 by a woman who
intended it for winter wear with black
lynx furs. Another gray spring cloth,

with red cloth laid over with black
and white braids in narrow rows, and
will be worn this winter with black
furs. 1t is predicted that the redin-
cote will be as popular as ever because
of the tight lines upon which skirts
are fitted. Most of them show a seam
down the back and a few new ones
are shown with a flounce set on just
below the knees.
A new autumn model was made in
brown faced cloth, with braid of the
same shade all down the front, with
just thread Of gold interviewer. 1t
was cut with a seam below the waist,
having hip pockets outlined with braid
and gold, and was finished with
military collar of gold braid. The
skirt was quite plain and braided to
hide the front seam, fitting beautifully
on the hips and just touching the
ground all around. where it was slight
" full.

REcrpEs FOR APPLE DESSERTS.
Many Ways in Which the Fruit May
Ee Cooked.

APPLE CHARLOTTE-Cu slices
Of wheat bread or rolls, and having
rubbed the bottom and sides of ba-
sin with a bit of butter, line it with
the sliced bread or rolls; put tart
apples, cut them small and nearly fill
the pan, strewing bits of butter and
sugar between the apples; crate a
small nutmeg over; make as many
slices of bread or rolls as will cover
it. over which put a plate and a
weight to keep the bread close upon
the apples; bake two hours in a
quick oven, then turn it out Quar-
ter of a pound of butter and half
pound of sugar to half peck of tart
apples.
RICH BAKED APPLE PUDDING
Half pound the pulp of apples, half
loaf sugar, six ounces of. butter, the
rind of one lemon, six eggs, puff
paste. Peel and core and cut the
apples as for sauce; put them into
stewpan, with only just sufficient wa
ter to prevent them from burning, and
let them steep until reduced to q
pulp. Weigh the pulp, and to every
half pound add sifted sugar, grated
lemon peel, and six well beaten eggs.
Beat these ingredients well together,
then melt the. butter, stir it to the
other things, put a border of puff
paste round the dish, and bake for
more than half an hour. The butter
should not be added until the pudding
is ready for the oven.
APPLE SAGO PUDDING-One cup
sage in a quart of tepid water, baked
for an hour, six or eight apples, pared
and cored or CHARTERED and steamed
tender, and put in the pudding dish;
boil and stir the sage until clear, add
ing water to make it thin, and pour
it over the apples; this is good hot
with butter and sugar, or cold with
cream and sugar.
BAKED APPLE DUMPLINGS-
Make in the same way, using a soft
dough; place in a shallow pan, bake
in a hot oven, and serve with cream
and sugar, or place in a pan which
is four or five inches deep lido not
have the dumplings touch each 9th
err; then pour in hot water, just
leaving top Of dumplings uncovered.
To pan of four or. five dumplings
add one teacup sugar and half tea
cup of butter; bake from half to
three-quarters of an hour. If water
cooks away too much add more. Serve
dumDlings on a platter and the liquid
in sauccboat for dressing. Fresh or
canned peaches can be made the same

HABITS OF THE TRADE RAT.
He May Steal, but He Is Very Careful
to Leave Something in Exchange.

One of the oldest little animals in
existence is the California wood rat,
better known as the trade rat 1t
owes the latter name, says the Strand.
to the fact that, though it is great
thief. it never steals anything without
putting something else in its place
The story is told of a paste pot
which had been left over night in the
assay office at the Silver Queen mine,
and which was found in the morning
filled with the oldest collection of
rubbish.
This was the work of trade rates.
They had stolen the paste and left in
exchange piece of stick, length of
rope, some odds and ends of wire and
an unbroken glass funnel
The object of the trade rat in so
scrupulously paying for what he takes
is something of mystery, but these
same rats certainly take the greatest
pleasure in the odds and ends which
they collect.
a description is given of trade
rats nest found in an unoccupied
house. The outside was composed en-
tirely of iron spikes laid in perfect
symmetry, with the points outward.
Interlaced with the spikes were about
two dozen forks and spoons and three
large butcher knives.
There were also a large carving
fork, knife and steel, several plugs of
tobacco, an old purse, a quantity of
small carpenter tools, including sew
the outside casing, the glass, and the
works were all distributed separately
&C as to make the best show possible.
Altogether the oldest collection, None
of those things was of any earthly use
to the rats. They must have collected
them just in the same way that a
child boards UP odds and ends to
play with.

WHO PAID FOR THE DRINKS?
Endless Chain Operated by Thirsty
Men on the Mexican Border.

Nov, here is the best yarn of the
lot and good puzzle for the Sunday
papers to print" said the man with
the alkali in his whiskers, when ne
had settled down in the hotel lobby
after a long day on the rubberneck
wagon.
Several years ago American silver
coin in Mexico was on the same basis
as Mexican silver was at that time and
still is in the sta,es; it passed at half
it's face value. Drinks in Ell Paso and
in Juarez, the Mexican town across
the line. were a bit apiece or 12%
cents, as you fasteners would say.
IN thoso pa'my days a citizen Of
Ell Paso could go into a drinking en-
porium and buy ~ drink, paying for it
with an American larter. The bar
tender would hand him bac!. a MeAi-
can quarter, which was. of course,
worth 1871 cents in Texas.
Then with this Mexican quarter in
his hand the citizen could cross the
bridge to Juarez and there buy an
other drink, laying his Mexican quar-
ter on the bar.
'If the Greaser barkeep should give
him in change an American qua!ter
worth 121a cents in Mexico the joyous
citizen could return to Uncle Sans
back yard and repeat the process.
Now, the question is: Who paid
for those drinhs?'-N. Y. Sun

Cleanliness at Home and Abroad

Cleanliness at Home and Abroad.
England, which has been properly
and justifiably Mortified at the reve.
lations made concerning American
packing houses, will be yet more ap-
palled at learning that the food prod.
ucts of her own country show, in
many cases, an equally disgusting dis
regard for cleanliness and asepic
conditions. Two government inspect
ors, Miss Deane and Miss Suieres
have found conditions in the sausage,
jam and chocolate factories of the
most repulsive character, says The
Reader. Apropos of all this, an in
;feresting traveller, the count of Turin,
cousin of the king of Italy, who has
been making tour of America and
Europe, says that after visiting sew.
eral of the local London packing
houses. he has come to the conclu-
sion that the Chicago establishments
were the cleaner. The truth is, we
require of wholesale purveyocs a
standard of cleanliness which we too
frequently fail to enforce on our
farms and in our bakeries. The Amer
lean traveller who goes no further than
the local boarding house, the country
inn. the urban hostelry or the railway
eating station, has data enough for a
startling culinary essay, were he
minded to write It; and what goes
on in our kitchens is something of
which most of US were happier to re-
main in ignorance
