REGATTA HISTORYIN
A NUTSHELL
SOME FACTS THAT EVEN DE-
VOTED ASTORIANS HAVE
FORGOTTEN AS TO THE
ORIGIN OF THE AFFAIR.

event Of the year, in this city, and

all the fishermen along the river ad-
jacent to this city.
1t was in the Fall Of '85 that the
matter was first broachcd, and in a
curious way. c. c. Jeffrey, better
known as "Jef" was conducting a
restaurant on Astor street at that
time and two well known Astorians,
Henry Jones and David Smith, drop
ped in for their evening meal, They
fell to discussing the conditions Of
the times, which were quiet, and
Smith suggested that something
should be done to liven up things and
proposed boat race. Harry Jones
being an expert boatsman offered to
sail against any boat on the river,
and "Jeff" was called into consulta-
ton. He Immediately took up the
idea and offered to donate SIS silver
watch and SIS in cash for prizes for a

To Cook Bacon.

The breakfast bacon may be broiled
over a duh fire, but with loss of fat
which is Of value. To avoid this waste
the cooking may be done In the oven.
Lay the bacon, cut in very thin slices,
on the wires of double broiler, close
the broiler and set it into a moder-
ate oven over dripping pan. Let
cook until the bacon is delicately
Drowned and crisp, then serve at once
This is one of the simplest and best
ways Of cooking bacon. That the bacon
cook evenly 1t must be sliced evenly.
Lay the strip skin side down, on q
meat board. then with a strong, sharp,
thin-bladed knife cut in slices as thin
as possible, one after another, down to
the rind; then run the knife between
the slices and the rind, thus detaching
them all together. Store the strip in
a cool, dry place. that it may not
mould and. also, that 1t may be sliced
more readily.

had been staying for three weeks to land
this contract, one of the biggest single

some time. Concord, N. H., was trying
hard for the contract, but the Woodbury.
company got it finally by the unanimous
vote of the commission having the matter
in charge. The fight between the two
places has been going on for three months.
This means a big thing for Hardwick,
" here the granite business has been rath-
er dull for year or more, and the people
of the place are rejoicing with the sue
cessful company. The work will not
commence for month probably, as the
plans will have to be completed before ac-
tual cutting can be done. Manager
Bickford states that all the work will be
cut at Hardwick. This will mean that
the company will later add large num-
Der of cutters, probably two hundred, to
the one hundred that are already en-
ployed.

SAVES THE WINDOW CURTAINS.
Simple Device That Also Acts ~ .
Good VentiIator.

To protect window curtains from
rain try this simple device. which not
only shields the curtains but also
serves as a good ventilator: Secure
a half-inch board about IL or IA inches
wide and as long as is required to fit
snugly between the side castings of the
window. In the upper corners of the
board have screweyes, one on each
end. On each side of the window cas-
ing put screweye, In which tie cords
about two feet long. and on the ends
OF the cords tie small hoops. Ordi-
narily these cords hang down by the
side Of the window and are concealed
by the curtains. The board may be
kept out of sight also. When ready
for use the hooks on the cords fit into
the screweyes on the sides OF the
board and the board is tilted back
from the window The window may
then be opened as wide as the board is
high. The slanting of the board pushes
back the curtains and, while allowing
air to enter, prevents the rain or
snow from coming into the room

Save Shirt Bosoms.

II a stiff bosom shirt is worn out
the bosom can be cut out and edges
rounded to make it neat, making two
nice waxboards for rubbing irons on.
The cuffs also may be used In this
way.
Iron holders may be made out Of
the remaining front pieces quilted on
the machine.
Oversleeves can be made out OF
the sleeves by cutting of at desired
length, hemming the top, and then in
sorting elastic in the hem. These are
useful to protect clean sleeves while
working.
