Cecil, Sept. 8.-EDIToR GAZETTE
J East, who is the first white
man who ever settled on Willow
creek, is visiting here and looking
up old acquaintances and viewing
the scenes of his early life. Mr.
East's father crossed the plains in
1S43, with his family, in the first
wagon train that ever crossed, Gen.
eral Fremont having crossed in
l841 with saddle train, consist
ing of horses and cattle, blazing
the route, and sent back word that
wagons could also make the tjour-
ney. The following year the wag
on tram was organized at st. Jo,
Mo-, consisting of 60 wagons, un-
der Captain General Fremont.
The train divided at Bear River
Utah, 80 wagons going to Califor-
MIA and the remaining 80 proceed
ed to Oregon. Mr.. Applegate was
chosen Captain, General Fre-
mont leading the California train.
Mr.. East returned aud settled on
Willow creek where the townsite
of Cecil now is located, in 1859,
bringing 1900 head of Spanish
cattle from Willamette Vsllev.
For eight years Mr.. East remained
here ranging his cattle from the
Umatilla river to the John Day,
and then sold out to William Ce.
Gil. Since then he has been en-
gagged in handing livestock and
mining, and has explored the Pa.
cific slope from lover CaliforniA 10
the arctic circle.
He is now hale and hearty msu
of IS years and only recently, be
fore returning from Alaska, he
held his place with young men
aud carried on his shoulders col
pounds, travelling 20 miles a day,
and he is nov preparing to return
to Vsldrz, Alaska, where be is en-
gagged in mining.
1t is very interesting to be in |
conversation with Mr. East, and !
listen to the relating of the early (
history of the coast, the danger

thrilling scenes which he and his

CREAMED PEACH PIE.

Here is a recipe for creamed peach
pie given by Harper's Bazar: Line a
pie plate with good pastry, lay in
halved canned peaches, sprinkle with
granulated sugar, fit on an upper
crust slit in several places to allow
the steam to escape, and bake. Into
teacupful of cream stir pinch of
baking soda and bring to the boiling
point. Add sugar to taste and thick
en- with little cornstarch rubbed
smooth in tablespoonful of milk.
Cook, stirring, until smooth and
thick, then take from the fire, and
while 1t and the baked pie are still
warm lift the top crust and pour in
the cream sauce. Replace the crust
and let the pie get cold before eat
ing. Sprinkle the top of the pie with
powdered sugar.

PASTA SINTA,

Have ready deep enamel stew pot
that would contain at least five
quarts. Into this pot place the fol-
lowing: One and half pounds nice
roast pork, one pound good beef, one
half pound hamburg steak, three
good sized onions chopped fine, one
large or two small carrots chopped
fine, three tablespoons chopped fat
salt pork and three tablespoons but
ter. Allow the meat to scar for about
thirty minutes. Add about one and
half quarts of boiling water. This
should cook slowly until meat Is ten
der. When almost done add four
tablespoons catsup and mix we'll with
the liquid around the meat. Have
ready about one and half pounds of
Italian macaroni. Break into pieces
and put in boiling salted water. Cook
until tender. Now that the meat Is
done take out and place on a platter
ready to serve. Drain the macaroni
and put 1t in the brown liquid. You
should have about one quart of thi1
liquid and enough to mix thoroughly
with the macaroni. Mix thoroughly
and serve with the meat. This is a
very delicious dish, and is both nour-
fishing and healthful and should be
given good trial, as it is we'll worth
it.-Mrs. Joseph Cenedella, in the
Boston Post.

THOSE BIG HATS AGAIN.

Huge hats worn by women are still
causing diHculties in theatres. In
London and in New York City women
are wearing hats that are almost a
yard wide. Their appearance in play
houses have led to more than one
legal controversy. One of the latest
has arisen in London, where two
women wearing especially large hats
entered theatre. Because a man
shouted to them, Remove those
ridiculous hats!" they refused to take
them off, as they had planned to do,
and were barred from the playhouse
They have preferred charge of as
sault against the manager, and the
decision of the court is expected to
have an interesting bearing on big
hats.-New York Press.

HOLD
Hints

Wiring towel out with cold water
and cover all kinds of roasted meats
to keep moist and retain flavor.
The most safe material and also
the best is copper wire of the size
portioned to the weight of the picture.
Moisten the mucilage on the flap of
the envelope, rub the stomp on it and
1t will then stick and end common
difficulty.
In sweeping a carpet, tear up some
old paper, wet and throw around, and
it will be a great help to the dust
from flying.
Keep candles on ice at least twen-
ty-four hours before burning. They
will burn much more evenly and
slowly with this treatment.
When making glue put little gly-
cerine in it; it increases it's adhesive
quality and makes it more elastic.
One part glycerineto three parts glue.
When preparing ham for boiling
remove the marrow from the bone;
this does away with the strong taste
sometimes noticed in cold boiled ham.
In planting poppy seeds, which are
very small, put them in an old salt
shaker. The task of sowing them is
made much easier and they are sown
evenly.
To cream butter and sugar put the
sugar in the mixing bowl and set in
the oven until warmed through. The
butter will then readily cream with
the sugar with very little labor.
In separating the whites from the
yolks Of eggs, II the yolk gets broken
into the white, dip piece of clean
cloth in warm water, wiring dry. touch
the yolk and it will cling to the cloth.

CREAM PUFFS.

One cup hot water, one-half cup
butter; boil, and while boiling stir in
one cup of sifted -four. Let stand un-
til cool; then add three unbeaten
eggs and beat steadily for five min
utes. Drop in sl %nfuls on hot,
buttered baking tin, and bake about
twenty minutes in rather brisk
oven. For the cream filling, one cup
milk, one egg, one tablespoon flour,
pinch of salt, one-half cup sugar;
cook as you would a soft custard, in a
double boiler, and flavor strongly
with vanilla. When cold split the
puffs at one side and fill with the
cream. Cream puffs made by this re-
cipe lack the insipidity of those pur-
chased at the bake shops.-Lena B.

FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW
General outlook One Of Improvement
In Pig and Finished Material.

Cleveland, O.-The Iron Trade Re-
view says:
Some increase in activity and fur.
ther price concession have characteriz-
ed the pig iron market during the
week, and there Is general feeling
that the bottom has been reached. 1t
Is not expected that there will, how
ever, be any decided advance In
prices. The general feeling is one Of
mild improvement as to both pig iron
and finished material
Sales of pig iron in the east amount
ed to about $4,000 tons, and double
that amount is now pending. There is
increased interest in the Chicago dis
trict. In the Pittsburg district sales
amounted to about $4,000 tons, includ-
ing several round lots of basic on
which the price has settled to SIS val
ley. A large steel interest Is expected
to buy considerable tonnage of Bes-
semer, and it is believed that the sale
will be made at about $16.25 valley.
Sales of open hearth steel rails
amounting to $4,000 tons are reported
at Chicago. It is estimated that con-
tracts for structural material placed
thio yCdi dluOuHI W OUU,UUU IOuS, anu
contracts pending call for about 150,-
300 tons.
New York-The Iron Age says:
The pig iron market is reaching a
level at which an increasing number
Of consumers believe they can safely
contract. The low prices recently
named in connection with early ship
ment have been quoted by some pro.
ducers for delivery throughout the
year. Other sellers take the position
that blowing out is preferable to large
commitments at such prices.
At SIG at furnace for Bessemer iron
business in the Pittsburg district has
been stimulated and at SIS for basic
Iron considerable iron that has been
overhanging the market has been
moved.
The east has led in the buying of
foundry iron, transactions in the Phil
adelphia and New York districts and
New England amounting to fully 50,-
200 tons. OF this pipemakers took
about 10000 tons, a stove foundry In
New Jersey 1900 tons; a machinery
foundry in New England 5000 tons,
and an implement works 5000 tons,
while malleable foundries have bought
moderately.

ION" AND "OFF."

Mrs. Siddons was, on and of the
stage. two different persons. On the
stage she was a pythoness, nightly
hypnotized into passionate emotions
by the sight Of the drop curtain and
lthe boards. At her home she was, at
all events to the casual observer, more
than thought too much mere
mother and British matron, loving to
be seemly and of good report, shut in
the tower of an unimaginative nature.
Had she not been an actress, she
would have made (such an observer
might have said) an ideal bishops
lady. Barchester would have been
glad Of her.-Home Notes.

The "slip-on" glove is one of the
most popular kid gloves of to-day.
Gold and silver tissue embroider-
les and foundations are to be pop
ular.
Even mosaic buckles appear on the
shoes, to match the buttons on the
chic French gowns.
Irish laces, or any of the heavy
laces, are not as suitable for very
young girls frocks as are the lighter,
finer laces.
Grown-ups are to wear the poke
bonnets of lingerie as well as straw.
These quaint bonnets are to be worn
with my lady's" fluffy afternoon
frocks.
Many of the old colors have rap
peared, but with new face-an inde-
scribable bloom or ashen tint. Such
effects are seen best in the rich silks
and velvets.
Evening gowns are palmer than
heretofore, in the sense of being with
out ruffles and frills and pleats, which
are not essential to the beauty of the
directoire models.
Among dress hats the picture
shapes are supreme, and the Gains
borough and all the wide-brimmed
models of it's sort, with plumage as
rich If not richer than ever, are con-
spicuous.
The new ribbons are most allur-
ing. A very wide ribbon, probably
intended primarily for sashes, comes
with fancy edge suggestive of pi-
cot edge of generation ago. The
range of colors is unusually large.
Pumps have at last been SUPER
seded by the much more artistic and
comfortable sailor ties" These are
similar to the pumps, but have one
large eyelet, through which Is tied

Tucked Blouse.

The simple tucked blouse is always
a dainty and attractive one. This
model can be made from any mate
rial that is adapted to lingerie treat
ment, and that means the thin silks
and light weight woods as we'll as
muslins. 1t can be made with high or
square neck, and the square neck can
be finished with banding or with a
frill or In any way to suit the fancy.
Mercerized batiste with banding of
lace is the material illustrated, but
muslins include embroidered and
openwork sorts and all kinds of fancy
effects, while silks that are adapted
to such model mean foulards, India
silk and variety of silk and cotton
mixtures. The blouse suits the odd
waist and the gown equally we'll.
The waist is made with front and
backs. 1t is tucked to form yoke
and closed invisibly at the back. The
sleeves are in one piece each gathered
into cuffs, and these cuffs can be
made deeper or shorter according to

gathered into cuffs or of Llain ones
of the two-piece sort, and these latter
can be either cut to full or three-quar-
ter length as preferred. Pongee Is
the material illustrated, and the coat
matches tlc skirt, but it will be found
available for all suiting and all cloak
Ing materials. Chanticleer red and
royal blue serge are much liked for
the separate wraps of mountain and
seashore use, and the model suits
such treatment as we'll as it does the
costume and more prosaic coats of
street wear. Any contrasting mate
rial can be used for collar and cuffs,
but this coat is finished with messa-
line In matching color. Natural col
ored pongee with revers and cuffs of
powered cretonne would make an at
tractive summer coat. Small women|
will find the model an excellent one.
The coat is made with fronts and
back. 1t can be cut off and made
somewhat shorter If preferred. The
full sleeves are made in one piece
each, gathered at upper and lower
edges, but the plain sleeves are cut
with upper and under portions. The
collar is scanned to the neck edge.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size (sixteen years)
Is five and half yards twenty-seven,
three and three-eighth yards forty
four or three yards ffty-two inches
wide with three-quarter yard twenty

ABOUT INSOMNIA.

Some months ago friend In

ferer from sleeplessness. He had exf
perimented with all manner of RENEE
dies-baths, drugs, exercise, dieting
but could find no relief. ~
"How about the spot on the wall

it?"
IT'S very simple" / told him, "yet
very efficacious. / presume that
some light from the street lamp or
the moon usually gets into your bed
room? Well, where it strikes the
wall you will be pretty sure to find
spots that stand out vividly from the
dark background. Select one of these
patches of brightness, one preferably
not much larger than a silver dollar.
Settle down comfortably in such a
way that 1t will be within easy range
of your vision without straining to
see it. Then gaze at it steadily.
"Do not, however, try to stare 1t
out of countenance, so to speak. In
stead, let the muscles Of your eyes
relax until the spot appears to have
a confused outline. At the same time,
If possible, think of nothing but the
one idea: I am going to sleep!'
Before long, your eyes will begin
to feel tired, and they will gradually
close. Open them, and once more
gaze at the spot on the wall. Again
they will close. Again open them.
Presently you will find it impossible
to open them, and the next instant
you will be asleep"

PLEASANT MANNERS.

Life would be more livable II more
of us felt it duty to be pleasant,
however things might go.
An old woman once told a girl
with a Puritan conscience: "Stop
worrying so much about the right
and wrong Of things and keep smil-
ing, and you will make this world a
better place."
The girl who learns to keep smil-
ing when she would much rather
weep or storm has gained victory
over herself beyond penance and fast
ing. r
Be pleasant first from a sense of
duty, and it will soon become habit.
If sulkiness, deceit, i'll temper, nag
ging can get grip on character, why
not pleasant ways?
If you cultivate pleasant manner
from no other reason do SO through
self-interest. The girl who is agree
