bread? Something that is harmless

Nothing will thicken the juice OF
canned fruits that would not affect
taste and prevent it from remaining
good.
Why not boil down the surplus juice
one always mas from stewed fruits, add
sugar and keep it for the children?
In canning the juice is usually
poured off before the fruit goes into
the jars. utilize it for jelly, thus
accomplishing the two tasks stimuli
taneously..
I insert the request for Bible read
ing for children, trzthe confident Sex-
pectation that I shall be called upon
for your address before long.

PORTLAND, Ogn., Jan. 10, 1907.
ED. Standard:
Why raw country youth should bt
impelled to begin the keeping of ,
diary at the age of fifteen, is beyond
me to explain; yet that is what did
beginning Oct. let, 1858, and tn,
habit then formed has continued unit
this date.
Reference in your paper OF yesterda,
reminded me that the winter of 1861
62 was a screamer," hence / turned
to my diary Of that time to ascertain
whether had noted the temperature
or not. From this source OF informa.
ton I find that at Olympia on Jan
II, 1862, the mercury dropped to 4
degrees below zero; on Jan. 30 fol-
lowing. it was l degree below. On
Jan. IL, 1862, the snow at Olympus
was 20 inches deep, and back in the
country few miles it was much deep
erin some places three or four feet
not drifted snow, either.
From other sources, recorded at the
time, l have data about winter weather
at Olympia as follows:
The coolest day during the winter
of 1884 was 5 degrees above zero;
and during the week ending Jan. 81,
there were three days when it was
degrees above zero, and one day when
it was between 7 and degrees above.
This particular winter l remember
very distinctly, because it was my
"chore," at least three times daily, to
walk a distance equivalent to at least
six Olympia blocks to lake and chop
holes in the ice 90 that q COW and two
horses could drink, and I was almost
barefooted at that. There were com

On December Is, 1852. there was .
snowfall OF six inches at Olympia. and
crude" weather followed, according 10
the Columbian newspaper of that week.
The same authority states that on the
25th of December the snow was three
feet deep, and that on the 23d and
Oath of that month it was IA degrees
above zero. A" Chinook" wind soon
followed and three weeks later the
snow had disappeared.
The coolest day ever known in
Portland, 90 far as any records can be
found, was on Jan. Is, 1883, when the
mercury registered three degrees below
zero. The Willamette river was frozen
over, and hundreds of people crossed
on tho ice. have seen it stated that
teams crossed on the ice that year,
but that is an error. Teams have
crossed both the Columbia and vii.
lamette rivers on the ice, however, but
not that year. To do 90, under any
circumstances, except IS . matter OF
absolute necessity, is an exceedingly
foolish undertaking. The coolest day
in Portland, 80 far this year. was Jan
18th, when the mercury indicated 13
degrees above zero, and the snowfall
has been two inches.

Dark River.
M. G. Simmons, one OF our Oldest
and best.known pioneers. died at his

He had been i'll for some time, and the
result was not unexpected. He had

four years ago, Mr.. Simmons changed

of poor health, and engaged in the
oyster business; the labor to which he
had been accustomed from the age oil
fifteen, having become too severe for
his condition Of health, after he had
made 0 success of that vocation.
Mr.. Simmons was born in Andrew
county, Missouri, in 1912; crossed the
plains in his fathers ox.wsgon in
1853. settling in Olympia. A few
years later he and his fathers family
moved to Mason county.

Recent editions of the most popular
and widely circulated newspapers of
Japan indicate that that country is de-
termined to force war upon the
United States. These publications argue
that the recent victory of Japan over
the great Russian Empire proves that
the island empire could easily con-
quer the United States, and apparently
the population is only too willing to
accept this view. The indemnity idea
is very conspicuous. The Japanese i'm
agine that if they could conquer the
United States, the richest country in
the world, they could extort from us an
enormous indemnity, which would en-
able them to maintain their military
organization. -
