Is of the utmost importance that a
force OF men be rushed to the fire as
soon as possible, as these fires can be
controlled and put out If taken when
they are small, where it would be al
most impossible to check them after
they had spread over large area
For this reason the telephone lines and
trail systems are of vital importance
and have played no small part in the
patrol system which has resulted in
the remarkably small area burned over
since the forests have been under gov
eminent supervision.
Among other necessary improve
ments provided for, the service takes
up the matter of the betterment of
range conditions. Firstly the con-
struction Of drift fences. which are for
the purpose of keeping stock within
the area allotted to them and to save
the time of the herders. Secondly
the improving of springs and watering

DEATH BY DROWNING
At ROOSEVELT DAM.
Receipt at Mesa of News of the DEM
erick Tragedy.

The town was thrown in state of
excitement here yesterday morning
when Charles Beaumont, the govern
ment forwarding agent at this place
received a telephone communication
to the effect that A. H. Demrick,
chief of the electrical appliances and
construction of the reclamation SER
vice for the Salt River project had
lost his life by drowning. The news
was quickly carried to Mr. Dem
rick's brother, who is a resident of
this place, and arrangements were
Immediately made for the trip to
Roosevelt.
On account of inadequate telephone
service it was hardly possible to get
authentic details as to the exact
manner in which the tragedy had
been brought about.
Immediately upon receipt of the
news the brother at this place imme-
diately secured the Oldsmobile car
belonging to Mr.. Kimball, and the
trip was started TO the scene of the
tragedy. shortly after the noon train
arrived from Phoenix bringing an

A. H Demerick, was in Mesa the
last time the middle of last week,
where he had conference with Will

the winter of 1907-s in Mesa. The

the present writing as to what dis
position will be made of the body,

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
SOME ECONOMIES THAT ARE
WELL WORTH PRACTICING.
Delicious Soup Can Be Made from tho
Usually Discarded Peapods-
Also a SaIad-Dressing
for the Latter.

The housekeeper who is truly eco
nomical Utilities the things that most
of us would throw away. Few women,
for instance, know that peapods have
any other use than to be thrown in the
garbage pail: yet a delicious soup can
be made from them; also a salad that
some persons fancy.
In making the soup, pick the peas
carefully and lay aside such pods as
are fresh and green. Remove the
string and stem from each pod. Put
In clean saucepan, cover with cold
water and let them cook slowly until
soft. Drain the liquid through colan-
der, pressing out as much of SUBJ
stance from pods as you can. The
water in which peas are boiled can be
added to this liquid.
Peapod Salad-When ready to serve,
bring the liquid to boil, add an equal
quantity of milk or less if necessary,
a slice of onion, plenty of salt, pepper
and paprica, and thicken with a table
spoonful of butter and -four rubbed to-
gether. Frankly, peapod salad is not
so appetizing as the soup. Cook the
pods until tender, but not so soft as
foT soup. Let them get icy cold and
serve with a highly seasoned mayor
naise. If chopped cold beets or rem
nants of cauliflower are added to the
pods, the salad is improved.
Another economy is a salad dress
ing that is a friend in need for the
housekeeper who learns to utilize her
sour milk. To a kitchen cup of sou
milk or cream-sweet can be used il
necessary-add an egg, one teaspoon
full of salt, two ~teaspoonfulsN of sugar, a
teaspoonful of mustard and another of
cornstarch, also plenty of red and
black pepper.
Good Salad Dressing-Rub salt, mus
tard, sugar and pepper in egg, stir it
in milk and bring to boil. Add the
cornstarch, which has been thinned in
a little cold milk or water, and stir
until the mixture thickens about to
the consistency of a thick mayonnaise.
Then add a piece of butter size of al
egg, or two tablespoonful Of oil;
lastly, pour in a half-cup of vinegar.
Let the mixture boil up until thick.
This dressing when packed in a
glass jar will keep a long time on the
ice, and is invaluable for sliced toma-
toes, potato salad, coldslaw, and is
even a good substitute for Hollandaise
sauce with asparagus or c%aulifower.

Egg Shells for Jelly.

Those who find the putting up of
lunches a part of the daily routine
may take comfort in the suggestion of
one r%esourceful woman. When using
eggs, she sees to it that only a small
piece of the shell is broken off from
the end of one egg. The egg shell
from which the piece has been taken
is then washed and kept as a recepta.

They Were Good Mothers.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton is quoted as
saying that a woman's first duty is to
develop all her powers and possibili-
ties, that she may better guide and
serve the next generation. Mrs. Stan

and handsome children, says an ad-

tues of the noted woman as a moth

he received no help and little hope
from them, so returned to his home
in Thatcher. He finally went to the
L. D. S. Hospital in Salt Lake City,
where he was operated on for gall
stones, which were found too near
the heart to remove. He partially
recovered from the operation, and
he, with his wife and little daught-

hospital, where they lived for sew

hopes of his recovery, and at other
times in the depths of despair, but
death at last claimed him.

Some Heavy Fines
for Street Fiqhfing

Tuesday night about nine o'clock
Tom Campbell became involved in
a fight with a Mexican named AL
lejangro Bianez, whom Campbell
claimed had insulted young white
woman. Campbell hit the Mexican,
who retaliated so strongly that
Campbell cried for help. Ed Dow
die ran to his assistance, as also did
Will Freeman, and a general mix
up followed, resulting in Campbell
and Dowdle receiving several knife
cuts about the arms and body.
In some way another Mexican,
named Antonio Molino, got in the
game, but escaped a beating.
Bianez presented an unsightly ap-
pearance when arranged in Justice
Colton's court by Deputy Sheriff
johnson Thursday morning, who
had also arrested Campbell, Dowdle
and Freeman.
After hearing the evidence in the
case, Judge Cotton told the COM
batants to return at four O'Clock,
and he would consider the case in
the meantime. At four o'clock the
judge imposed the following fines:
Tom Campbell, $4,000, or thirty
days in Jail; Ed Dowdle, $1.00, OF
one day in Jail; Will Freeman, $4,000,
or twenty days in Jail. Molino was
discharged, and the judge thought
