flied and helped by my recipes and

fears 1t is the way in which she man

l. found that my trouble was the
same as yours and after much
thought and talking 1t over with prac-
teal friends they believed l needed to
get more devices for labor-saying pur-
poses. | had gone on in the same old
rut without adding any helps to my
labors. For instance lost time In
the morning running from pantry to
cellar; from bed room upstairs to
dining room downstairs. and SO on
forgetting first one thing then an
other. Well. my next hobby was
iime-savers and 1t has been OF great
value to me. first got a paper pad
with pencil attached and hung 1t over
my kitchen table where worked
daily, put down things to do and
to be remembered on this pad first
thing every morning. | next got an
easy chair to sit In. We stand too
much. got little brushes to wash
glassware and then | got cedar tub
to wash dishes In, and always put
borax In the dish water to cleanse
quicker and make the work lighter
In fact | procured every labor-sayins
device | knew of and ! got rid OF my
environments. Had time to visit my
friends and neighbors, and | ask all
the busy housewives to consider 1t.

No. More Contract Hauling.

L. Washington, June 15.-The army
quartermasters on duty here are elat-
ed over the results of the experiment
which has been going on in transport
ing supplies without the aid of con-
tractors, There has been considera-
BILE expense in transportation by con-
tract. This work has been done after
the public opening of bids, and 1t was
found that the service was not en-
tirely satisfactory. In addition, the
local teamsters entered into combina-
tion by which they materially in
creased their prices for hauling OF
which the government does consid-
erable between the railroad and tho
quartermasters' depot at Fort Myer
Va, and other places of storage.
AS the Quartermaster's depot was
well supplied with wagons and horse:
and employed large number of men
it was decided TO do away with con-
tract transportation. The result has
been eminently satisfactory. The
work has been done more promptly
at saving of money hitherto paid to
the contractors and at no additional
cost for new wagons or horses or ad-
ditional men. The systems will be
permanently adopted, and the wal
department, in its local transportation
will hereafter be independent of con.
| tractors.

LOOK OUT FOR FRAUDS.
Washington Bankers Issue Warming
to the Public

According to a circular sent out by
Secretary Kaufman, OF the Washing
ton State Bankers association, three
men are operating with bogus checks
in the state and the public and bank
ers are warned to look out for them.
The circular reads:
A colored man about 35 or 40 years
Of age. going under the name OF John
w. Scott or James Massey, has been
attempting to defraud banks and busi-
ness men on Puget sound. His method
of operation has been to leave for
collection a check drawn on the Bank
of Ventura, Cal, in his favor for s5270
apparently signed by John H. Rep
py, a prominent business man of Ven-
tura. The check is a base forgery.
Using the receipt OF the bank as a
basis OF credit Scott succeeded in de-
frauding several stores in Seattle and
Tacoma out Of small amounts. He
endeavored to pass his check for $500
in Tacoma in a real estate deal. but
failed and left the city. He was next
heard of in Seattle attempting the
same operation. This James Massey
served so days in Jail In Ventura for
petty offences, Be on your guard
for him.

ONCE RICH. NOW PaUPER.
WaIis waIla Man Once Worth S75,60O
Now I'm Poor House.

Twenty years ago n wealthy farm
er, rated worth $4,000 to 100000,
Greenleaf Stacy. wrecked financially
and physically, will soon be taken to
the county poor farm because friends
who have been keeping him for the
past year have declined to pay for his
support any longer, says the Walla
Walla Statesman.
Stacy. now nearly 10 years of age,
accepted his fate philosophically al
though II is a hard fate, for man as
wealthy as he once was, to become n
county charge in the autumn Of life.
Twenty years ago Stacy owned one
of the finest farms in Walla walla
county located below Prescott on the
Touchet. His broad acres were well
titled and money flowed into his cof-
fers until he was we'll worth 800, 600.
The first misfortune overlook Stacy
when his wife died. This was hard
blow for him and he became careless
In his financial dealings. He lost
heavily on several deals. A brother
in Seattle induced Stacy to Join him
In building a magnificent residence in
Seattle and "Stacy's Folly" home
that was famous in its time, was erect
ed at cost of about $4,000 by the
two brothers.

DISTRICT LIBRARIANS.
New System of School District Libra
Pies Goes Into Effect Soon.

Within a short time It will be the
duty OF the county school superin-
tendent to appoint a librarian for
each district in the county, and in or
der to learn the wishes Of the various
doctors before making his selections
Superintendent Welles has written
them a letter on the subject. He re-
quests that each district recommend
some suitable persor for librarian
and declares that the success of the
success of the school Libraries will de-
pend largely upon who is placed in
charge. That the person proposed fol-
the place be a lover of books is sug-
gested.
The law providing for the purchase
of school libraries was passed by the
last legislature, and will be put into
effect this summer. The first pur'
chases Of books will be made in Aug
ustl. Under the law small amount
is given each district annually to b'
used in equipping library.

Oakland, June 15.-The so insur-
ance companies represented on the
Board of Fire Underwriters Of the Pa
cific Coast, have taken action to re-
coup themselves for their San Fran
cisco losses by the raising Of rates ap-
proximately 25 per cent in California,
Nevada, Oregon, Idaho, Montana,
Utah, and Arizona.
The state of Washington is the only
coast state outside of the jurisdiction
Of the board. Several years ago this
state enacted a lew known as the
"Anti-Compact law" which prohibit
ed insurance companies uniting in fix
ing rates. or in any way controlling in
surance affairs. President Haven said
today: 'The- law does not permit US
to fix the rates of Washington, but
we are charging them Just the same"
This IL clear evidence the board OF
members represented by agents in
Washington will exact the raised rates
there as in other states.
He declared that at the time Of the
disaster it announced that no mes
sages could be accepted except sub
ject to delay, and said all wires were
down for SO miles around San Fran
cisco. A small proportion of messages
received at points near Frisco were
mailed. .giH -

Washington, June ia contest
between the house and president is
likely. The president sent letter
of keen disapproval Of the wadsworth
amendment to the inspection bill. The
presidents friends tried to tell the
president his disapproval was the re-
suit OF a misapprehension. Even
Speaker Cannon this morning called
at .he White House and told the ex>
ecurise he Is In error.
Following Cannon's visit the pres'-
tfexit issued another statement rat
Grating his disapproval Of the Blk
1t is said the question OF who will
asear the cost OF the inspection is the
beast OF the presidents objections.
Minority Favory Beveriige Bill.
Bowie, of Alabama, submitted ir
tthe house a minority report on the
inspection bill, protesting against an,
proposed appropriation OF St,O00.00C
annually to pay for inspection. i
denounces the court review provision
as a new departure in legislation
unjustified by a single fact" and op
poses repeal Of the civil service Law
insofar as inspectors Of mestt are con
| cerned.
II declares the provisions of th'
bill unsound, as dangerous and viciou
and recommends the Beveridge bill
as FAR better to accomplish the pur
pose more satisfactorily than the bill
the committee favors."

TAINTED MEAT IN SEATTLE.
Need OF Better Inspection Is Felt
Everywhere.

"No longer ago than last Friday
condemned two tons Of beef in Seat
tie which was affected with tubercu-
losis," said City Meat Inspector John
Roll this morning, in discussing the
need for a more complete and strict
er meat inspection ordinance, says
the Seattle Star. "That was not an
unusual occurrence, as 1 frequently
find diseased or tainted meat. Little
of this comes to the shops as it is in
spected at the packing houses. -:
Inspect All Animals
Even under the present meat in
spection ordinance an effort is made
to inspect all animals brought in here
to be butchered. but it is too much for
one man to do to attend to the work
as 1t should be done At the present
time / am supposed to cover three
packing houses, all the retail shops
and the fish markets. Naturally a.
man cannot be in three or four places,
at the same time. At the one pack
ing house in the city where federal in
spection is practiced there are two
ante-mortem inspectors and two-post-
mortem inspectors, besides the inspec-
tor in general charge"

Among other things that will inter-
est the people who attend the coming
Fourth of July celebration in Pendle-
ton with be balloon ascension. Ar
rangements for such an event have
now been made between the general
committee and Aeronaut Hall, who re-
Gently made a successful ascension at
Weston. Under the terms OF the con-
tract IN ascension is to be made on
the afternoon of the Fourth. and after
rising to height OF not less than
800 feet the daring balloonist will
drop to the earth by the aid of n par
achute. For this feat he is to be
paid the sum of 800. and should there
be no ascension there will be no pay.
II is possible that there will be n
two-days celebration. in which event
another balloon ascension may be held
on the fifth also.
For several days past the commit
tee In charge Of the Fourth of July
subscription have been hard at work.
as a result they had secured $500
up to noon today, and as there were
many not then seen, there is little
doubt but that the desired $4,000 will
be raised.
