COOKING DINNER BY MEANS
OF AN ALARM CLOCK

A housekeeper in Chicago has a
great idea. AS everybody knows, diff
ferent kinds of victuals require diff
ferent times for cooking and one Of
the bothers of housekeeper's life is
to remember when she puts on GER
tain things and when they ought to
come off. This lady has an alarm
clock, and after she puts on dinner
she sets her alarm for 20 minutes af-
ter, and when it goes off II tells her
the rice is done. She takes of the
for % minutes later. when 1t announ-
ces the peas are ready. The process
is repeated, and fifteen minutes lat
er the alarm tells her that the turkey
ought to come out of the oven. AS
housekeepers like to have everything
done at once and the whole meal
fresh from the stove. IL also suggests
when TO put ON as well as take on
things, so as to have all ready at the
same time. Some of her friends in
sinuate that 1t would be easier to re-
member to put on and take of her
yictuals at the proper time than to
spend half an hour day winding up
an alarm clock but she says that af-
ter setting her apparatus she can
run upstairs and make bed. or go
out to the fence and talk with a
friend without the slightest feeling Of
uneasiness while the clock is on duty.
and besides. she thinks. there are a
great many unprogressive people in
the world who do not appreciate a
brand new idea when they see 1t.

Washington, Jan. 6.-The govern,

over the situation in China, but it is
known that conditions there are caus--
ing grave concern. 1t is reported that
three regiments at Manila have been
ordered held in readiness to proceed to,

intimated by the State department.

NEWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST

ONTARIO BOOMS.

Values Raise When Short Line Pur.
chases Ten-Acre Terminals.
Ontario-The boom in Ontario real
estate, ON account of the announce
ments and predictions in railorad cir
cles in the past few months, is here.
The climax came with the announce
ment of purchase by the Oregon Short
Line CT terminal grounds here ten acres
in extent.
There is only one meaning for such
purchase, in the opinion Of almost
everyone who hears of it, and that is
that Ontario is now irrevocably decided
on as the junction point of the proposed
east and west line &C: oss Oregon with
the Oregon Short Line and the Harri-
man transcontinental system.
The result of the announcement of
the purchase was electrifying. Real
estate prices at once went soaring. In
sore instances, it is stated, land has
doubled in value in few days, and
there seems to be no let up in the ad-
vance as yet. High as the prices are,
compared with those OF a few months
ago, there is still plenty of demand.
New men are arriving on every train.
Each seems to have some money, and
each is apparently anxious to get it in
vested as speedily as possible.

Hours Telling What He Knows.
Washington, Jan. Elm session OF
five hours today, the house placed on
record speech in favor of the Philip
pine tariff bill, one against it, and 20
minutes talk for tariff revision accord
ing to the Republican demand of Mas
sachusetts. Hill, of Connecticut, oc-
cupied three hours, and was listened to
with the greatest interest in detailing
the knowledge he gained from two
visits to the Philippines, the last as a
member of the party of Secretary Taft
last summer. He paid particular at
tention to the tobacco feature of the
measure, and explained away much OF
the misapprehension as to the enor-
nous products that might be expected
from the islands. Their territory, he
said, was small, and the fertile lands
still further limited.
Mondell, of Wyoming, who has led
the fight against the bill in the in
terest of the beet sugar industry OF this
country, spoke vigorously against the
measure and against the policy of help
ing the Filipino people by granting
them open markets in the United
States. He said the passage of this
bill would be the death knell of the
beet sugar industry in the United
States.
The abolition of the tariff on hides
was pleaded for by Lawrence of Massa-
chusetts, who presented the position
taken by the Republicans of that state,
Information regarding immigration
from Austro- Hungary contained in re-
ports by Marcus Braun was asked for

Some Interesting Statistics.

Report Of Game Warden Baker Gives
Some Interesting Statistics.
Salem-Game Warden ]. w. Baker &
annual report shows that II 900 of the
inhabitants Of Oregon are hunters, not
taking into consideration the farmers
who hunt over their own lands, and
are, therefore, not required to pay the
yearly tax of 81.
Fees received amounted to $17, 7,421,
some of which came from nonresident
hunters, who paid $40 for the privilege
of killing wild game in the state !;
$166.4 was collected as fines for hunt
ing without license.
The game warden expended 81, 262 25,
leaving balance of $40, ,325.15. This
will be available at once for deputies as
soon as necessary. From the general
appropriation fund, tine warden receiv-
ed 81 ,662.7S for salary and travelling
expenses and 50, 499.88 was used for
salaries and expenses of deputy war
dens, making total expenditure for
the year of $11 ,412.91 for the protec-
tion and propagation of game.
Violations of the law have been less
frequent this year than for some time,
but justices of the peace are not inclin-
ed to impose severe penalties.
Eighty four persons were convicted
and fined for violation of the game
laws, the fines averaging SIS.

Chinese Students hreaten to Return
En- Masse From Japan.

Pekin, Jan. g. - The Chinese stu
dents in Japan, who number s, 900,
have struck against the attempts of the
government to subject them to official
supervision. They are threatening to
return to China as a body. If this
threat should be carried out, it would
prove a disturbing element here, as
the sympathies of the majority of the.
students are antiforeign and anti
dynastic.
A notable movement has recently
begun here in the establishment Of
schools for the education of women,
under the direction OF several princess
es, with japanese ladies as volunteer
teachers. All the schools are crowded
with girls from leading families. Four
teen Mongolian princesses have arrived
at Pekin for the purposes of seeking
instruction in the European languages.
