CARE OF BLANKETS.

Many good housewives do not care
to risk the laundering of their fine
wooden blankets to their servants,
and word might help at this season
from a good housewife, who always
takes this task upon herself. She
first shaves half bar of yellow soap
and pours this into pint of boiling
water; she stirs this until it becomes
like a thick jelly and pours it into
three buckets of lukewarm water.
Into this she puts the blankets and
washes thoroughly. She does not rub
soap on the blankets. She puts them
through wringer and in another tub
of clear, lukewarm water, then keeps
on rinsing in clear water until every
particle of soap is removed and hangs
on line in hot sun, taking care to
hang them perfectly straight. She
leaves them in the sun for several
hours until perfectly dry, then puts
them out the next day if necessary

An Interesting Parrot.

A remarkable parrot was killed at
Lytham on Saturday. The owner,
an Ansdell gentleman, had had the
bird for twelve years, and it accom-
panied him on his walks into the
country. It would fly home, a dis
lance of two miles, and visit flocks
of tame birds, but it always returned
home for it's food. On Saturday it
flew into some trees at BALKAN and
a man, thinking it was pigeon af-
ter his peas. brought It down with
his gun--London News.

FOR VIOLATION OF
IMMIGRATION LAWS
immigrant from Mexico. Affected with
Trachoma. Crept in After Being Re.
jected. Belongs to Mexican
Circus.

The Mexican circus that is now
giving exhibitions nightly in this
city at Las Delicias pavilion, is
now something like the play of
Hamlet with the melancholy
Dane ommitted, as it is without
a clown. Maclabio Rivera, the in
dividual who has been employed to
do the funny act for this circus,
is in duress vile at the immigra-
ton offices, where he is held under
charge of having entered this
country in violation of the immi-
grafton laws of the United States.
Rivera presented himself with
the remainder of ssthe circus COM
pany at the immigration Offices on
the 18th instant, for admission to
this state. On examination, he
was found to be affected with the
dangerous eye disease, trachoma,
for which reason he was refused
admission, being sent back to Mata-
moros. The remainder of the
company were passed and pitched
their tent in Brownsville.
But the clown was sadly missed
by his companions, and so it was
arranged finally that Rivera should
come over without the permission
of the immigration officers. This
he accordingly did on Sunday
night, taking advantage of the i'm
mense crowds returning from the
Matamoros 6estas on that night.
His presence was soon learned of
by the authorities. however. The
result was that a secretary's war
rant for his arrest was secured,
and Rivera was placed under arrest
by the immigration officers at Las
Delicias yesterday afternoon. He
will be held a prisoner at the immi-
grafton offices until instructions for
his deportation are received from
Washington.

Railroad Settles

Mont, August 10, 1908. He was fire.
man at the time for Cal Litch, who
received injuries in the same wreck
which still confine him to The hospital.
The settlement was made this week
and is satisfactory to both Mrs. Mathews
and the railroad. Although strongly
urged by many lawyers to bring suit,
Mrs. Mathews preferred. to settle the case
without going to law and in receiving
this sum, is much better off than if she
had brought suit for $40, 600 or more. for
there are no legal fees to eat into the
money received.
The death of Mr.. Mathews left her
with an infant child to care for and this
money will be great help. The action
of the railroad is considered very fair to
Mrs. Mathews by those who are in a
position to judge from knowledge of
other similar cases.

WILL help
SETTLERS
Congressman Marshall Introduces
Bill to Remedy Coal Land Con-
ditions. Would Give Home
steaders Title to Land.

"A bill to save the homesteaders who
ale in danger of losing their homesteads
and all improvements on them by the
withdrawal of the Ignite coal lands by
the government, has been introduced in
the house by Congressman T. F. Marshall
during the past week. 1t is said that
the land department has now fully 10. :
coo cases before it in which the home
steaders are unable to complete final
proof and receive patents, because their
farms have been classified as coal lands.
If this measure becomes law it will
save to the Dakotas. Montana, Wyoming
and New Mexico settlers, their farms.
although it will acknowledge the govern
ment's ownership of the coal that may
,inderlie their property.
A large number of hon1esteaders in
this part of North Dakota will be es-
pecially interested in the measure.
Congressman Marshall's bill provides
that the government may give title to
the surface of land, without giving title
to the coal deposits underneath. II
says specifically, as to those cases where
settlers are nov trying to make final
proof: mo patent I hereafter issued
under any public land laws other than
the coal land laws shall be construed
to convey any right or title to any coal
deposit in any land so patented.
The bill also provides that any patent
to the coal deposits in public lands shall
not give right or title to the surface Of
such land.

BIG GAME COMING
Much Interest in Basket Ball Game
With Oregons Next Week Tues
day. Worlds Champions Con-
testants to Play Co. K.

The Oregons, the crack basket ball
team of the west, who will play Co. X
at the armory next Tuesday evening. are
on their way to New York state. where
they will play series of games for the
championship of the world. The othel
competing team are the Buffalo Germans,
the New York Athletic club, and the
Detroit Athletic club. H. B. Stout, the
advance representative of the team.
stated to the PRESS last week that the
Oregons will be satisfied if they come
out second.
The western team has some cracking
good players in its line up. Shaw,
centre. is called by Spaldine, the noted
authority on sports, the greatest basket
ball player in the world. He is feet
and inches high The forwards aver
age feet IN inches in height and the
guards feet II inches. This is the
lightest team that ever contested for
the worlds championship.
Interest is also centered in Rice, one
of the forwards. who is only 16 years
old, but great favorite in OREGON. He
has famous record for goal throwing
for fouls.
1t costs $92 day for railroad fare and
hotel bills to send the team on this trip.
The basket ball enthusiasts of Oregon
have raised $40, 600 to finance this trip,
which shows how the team is regarded
there.
During the past four years, the only
game the Oreeons have lost was to the
Vancouver team last year., when the
score was 49 to and the defeat was
caused by the members of the Oregon
team being out of fighting trim.
The game Tuesday evening will be
refereed by B. A. Teats, who is accom-
panyine the team and who will referee
the championship games
The appearance of this crack team in
this city is already causing much excite
ment and it is expected that the bis
armory will be taxed to hold all who
wish to see the visitors play 1t will be
wonderful exhibition of the game
and practically the chance of lifetime.
