The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-05-14

Only four hundredths of an inch of
rain fell last month. while thus far
this month there has been only one
half that amount.
The temperature has been far above
the normal during the past two
months. The hottest weather was SO
degrees, which has been exceeded four
times in May. In 1887 the theremome-
ter registered 80 degrees; in 1888 it
stood at 95 degrees: the hundred mark
was reached in 1897 and in 1903 the
record was 81 degrees.
The breaking of the long drouth
will doubtless cause boundless JOY to
the grain growers of the Walla Walla
valley. whose crops were suffering
greatly for moisture. 1t had been
geenrally predicted that a continuance
of tie dry spell for another week
would spell ruin for grain in tbs vi
cinity. In some sections it had al
ready begun to take on yellowish
hue, but it is not thought that the
damage thus far will be heavy.

OFFICER Who LACKED TACT
Capt. |. n. KoeheP, Fourth Ca
vary, is Reprimanded.
MADE FALSE CHARGES AGAINST COMRADE
FILED BASELESS ACCUSATIONS
AGAINST MAJOR H. L. SCOTT,
ARTILLERY OFFICER.
MADE FALSE CHARGES AGAINST CoMRAOE

WASHINGTON, D. c., May IL
The war department has received the
records in the court martial case of
CAPTAIN L. M. Koehler, of the Fourth
cavalry, who is on dutp in the Philip
pines and who got into trouble by MAX
ing baseless charges against Major H.
l.. Scott. the artillery officer who has
been distinguishing himself at Jolo,
who made a fine record in Cuba and
who was one Of the old Indian fighters.
Captain Koehler appears from the rec
ord to have been lacking in tact and
to have produced a disturbance in the
garrison where he was stationed. He
was sentenced to be reprimanded by
the reviewing authority, who CHANGED
in this case to be General T. H. Bliss.
who regarded the sentence as alto
gether inadequate. General Bliss ad-
ded: "The evidence shows that Cap
tain Koehler has been guilty of con-
duct which indicates that he is seri-
ously wanting in those clean-cut and
well-defined conceptions of soldiers
duty which should be found in every
officer of the army that his concep-
ton of the standards of conduct and
uprightness as they exist in the army
are distorted to a degree not found IN
the lust and fair minded. In admins
tering the reprimand the reviewing
authority would remind Captain koen-
ler that he should cultivate those habits
of true soldierly subordination which
mo evidence in this case shows him
to lack"

Chamois for New Zealand.

VIENNA, May IA chamois drive
was held on the Schneeberg, in the
Austrian Alps, not, however, with the
idea of shooting, but of netting the
quarry. The result was eight animals,
out of which only two were considered
young enough to be kept, the rest be-
ing let loose again. The emperor has
the intention of presenting at least
twentyfOur of these beautiful animals
to the government of New Zealand in
return for several specimens of Aus
tralasian fauna, such as the kiwis,
ground parrots, ETC., which have been
promised for the geological gardens at
Schoenbrunn
The exchange is the result of the
visit of the Austrian gunboat Panther
last year to Ney Zealand. 1t is hoped
to ship the chamois in the course of
a month or so, in order to avoid the
great heat of a summer voyage. Some
curiosity is expressed as to how the
creatures will bear the change from
Al degrees northern latitude to AZ
south. especially the crossing of the
equator Once in their New Zealand
home it is not anticipated that they
will find any difficulty in acclimatizing
themselves, any more than Hungarian
partridges have done.

LEWISTON, Idaho, May 14.-"Any
assertion that there is not an earnest
purpose of the o. R. & N. to hurry the

Mr.. Brandon is consulting engineer for

Orders to Rush Work.

from the company" he continued,
ito rush the work just as fast as pos

desire of the company 1t was to carry
out this desire that the decision was
reached a few days ago to concentrate
the construction forces on the lower
section and withdraw the men for that
purpose from the camps not properly
supplied with men, 1t is unnecessary
to repeat the condition of the labor
market in the northwest, and this con-
dition has made it impossible to Sc
cure or retain the large forces that we
desire. We are concentrating the work
on the section Of road between Almota
and Riparia and have from 400 to 500
men employed. We plan to work the
steam shovels night and day. and on
yesterday morning the tracklaying was
resumed. This does not suggest that
there is hesitancy as to the methods Of
the work nor purpose not to crowd
the work forward"
Eleven Miles Of Track Laid.
Mr. Brandon states that eleven miles
Of track is in place and that track
laying will proceed steadily to the
twenty mile station. Almota is thirty
six miles from Riparia, and Mr.. Bran
don said that the tracklaying to that
point would be completed within three
months. "By that time," he said, "the
work this side will be greatly advanced.

table. For a sweet or jam omelet a
teaspoonful of sugar is beaten with the
eggs, jam dropped in the center and,
after folding and turning out the
omelet is busted with sugar, and, If
there is time, scored with a red-hot
poker.
Baked eggs form a good lunch dish
and are capable of many variations.
A large or several individual dishes
may be used. After buttering some
thing is added to give special flavor
it may be onion juice and chopped pars-
ley, a few drops of Worcestershire,
TabascO, or any sharp sauce, a few
SpoOnfuls of tomato or any made sauce
OF a mixture of chopped meat and
crumbs. Over this the eggs are care
fully broken that the yolk sac may
not be ruptured, and the dish is placed
in a hot oven until the whites are set.
For those who live on or near the
shore oysters are invaluable. When
procured on the half shell a bit of but
ter and a dash of seasoning may be
added to each when placed on a hot
pan, then they are quickly roasted in
a hot even. They may be panned,
stewed, creamed or fricasseed in a very
few moments.
A food chopper is nowadays claSSed
among the indispensab les in kitchen
utensils. One should be chosen which
has coarse and fine cutters; which will
chop, not mash, all sorts of things, in
Guiding meats, vegetables, dried bread
and nuts. Meats passed through the
coarsest cutter can be added to a thick
hot sauce and served garnished with
greens or toast points as a ragout.
When mutton is used add a spoonful
of currant jelly to the sauce; should
no tart jelly be on hand, use lemon
juice or a little vinegar. Another
pleasant addition is a small teaspoon
full of curry powder, or, when in sea-
son, a little finely diced cucumber.
When cold meat is in presentable
shape and lettuce or other greens can
be had, cut it quickly in pieces and
marinate with a French dressing 1t
will be improved if it can stand for
awhile, but if not, arrange it on the
salad greens and serve with mayon-
naise or a second portion of the same
dressing.
Possibly both fresh and canned meat
is altogether lacking, but there are
some cold vegetables on handsome
cauliflower, parsnips or carrots. Put
on the frying kettle and make some
fritter batter with one egg, one-quar-
ter of a teaspOonful of salt, one table
spoonful of melted shortening and one
teaspOonful of baking powder to each
cupful of flour. When without eggs
increase the amount of baking powder
Should've vegetables be smdll-as peas
or mashed, or in such shape that
they must be stirred in, use sufficient
milk or cold water TO mix TO a thick

/ branches of caulifiower, make the bat
ter thin enough to run. Add the vege-
tables to the thick batter with more

sliced it makes good toast. If too stale
for this it should be placed in a pan
in a moderate, open oven until thor
oughly dry; it can then be put through
the food chopper, sifted and stored in
glass covered with cheeSe-cloth, which
admits air and keeps the crumbs from
smelling stale.
The country housekeeper finds her
reserve stock of canned goods of even
more value than her city sister, but
she usually has the advantage of a
more abundant supply of eggs, milk
and cream The latter, when thick.
can be whipped and made the basis of
many delightful desserts; when thin it
can be used as sauce. Rich cakes
keep well and fruit or pound cake can
always be utilized. For lunch or sup
per it may be served sliced with
canned or fresh fruit. For dinner
plain cake can be cut in slices, dipped
whipped cream Fruit cake comes
from ten minutes repose in the
steamer as hot plum pudding accom-
panied by a hard or soft sauce.
Canned goods always taste better if
they are opened, turned from the can
and exposed to the air for d couple of
hours before being used. In emergen-
cies this, of course, is impracticable
Vegetables canned in water, such as
peas, beans or asparagus tips should
be drained from the liquor in the can
and rinsed repeatedly in cold water
before draining and heating in a little
