Idaho for Taft.

Boise, Idaho, Nov. Both parties
are claiming the state. but unbiased
opinion seems to be that Taft will
have a substantial plurality.
Southern Idaho has a large pro-
portion of Mormon voters, and "a
heavy Republican vote is looked for in
this part of the state.
The legislature undoubtedly will be
Republican insuring the reelection of
United. States Senator Hepburn. -
Republicans Claim Everything.
Seattle, Wash. Nov. 2.-The chair
man of the Republican state central
committee issued a forecast today of
the election in this state claiming the
Taft electors, the entire state ticket
and the legislature by at least 10000
plurality.
The Democratic state chairman pre-
diets Bryan will carry the state by
5000 to 10000.

ORANGE Pie.

An orange pie is not so common az
the lemon pie, but has good points
As the orange lacks decided acid it is
best to add a little lemon juice. Put
two level tablespoons of cornstarch
into one cup Of cold water and when
smooth add three quarters cup Of
boiling water and cook three minutes
Add a pinch of salt, the grated rind OF
one large orange, one tablespoon OF
lemon juice, the Juice of three
oranges. and one cup of sugar and
cool. Now add the beaten yolks OF
two eggs and the whites of one and
turn into a paste lined plate Bake
slowly and when nearly cool cover
with a meringue made from the white
of one egg beaten with two level
tablespoons Of powered sugar. Color
a little in a very slow oven.
