THIRTY THOUSAND PIECES OF
LITERATURE DISTRIBUTED.
LEARN OF ROGUE VALLEY
Homeseekers From All Parts Of the
Land Have Seen Exhibits
From This Valley.
BY E. c. Bolton.

CHICAGO, Dec. Especial to
The Courier twenty-five thous-
and people have been placed in touch
with conditions in Grants Pass and
surrounding country; thirty thousand
pieces of literature telling about
Grants Pass have been distributed
among people who are considering
the matter of moving to the valley;
twelve hundred people have signified
their intentions Of coming out to
Grants Pass and looking the country
over next summer and spring-this is
the result, in brief, of the showing
made by Grants Pass at the land
show here.
The show closed last evening, af-
ter its most successful exhibition. 1t
was a success in every way, and as
far as Grants Pass is concerned, II
has done untold good. More people
than can be estimated have had their
attention turned Oregonward. And
that means the Rogue river valley in
most instances.
Twenty-Five thousand people were
told about what we have in the
Rogue river valley in personal inter
views. The interest in the valley was
evident on every hand and next yeaI
Grants Pass must make plans tc
make even a greater showing, for il
is the advertising that reaches the
man who is seeking new location
The attendance at the show was over
100000 and the great majority oi
them were earnest seekers after in
formation that would be of help in
selecting a new home.
Sixty per cent of the exhibitors
have already made applications fol
space for next years show. Exhib
itors have petitioned the management

TOMATO SOUP
CASSEROLE DISHES

Cooking by means of the casserole
does not require special recipes. 1t
merely means slow cooking in COW
cred earthenware dish, especially de-
signed for this purpose. in the oven, in
place of on top of the stove at a higher
and less even temperature. Or, where
a gas stove is used with a heat dis
tributor on top, the casserole may be
placed on one of the back lids and the
article cooked as slowly as if in the
oven. oven cooking is preferable, how
ever. Almost all vegetables, all stews,
many warmed-over dishes and some
desserts may be cooked in this way
with a gain in result. 1t takes more
time, but it saves flavor and food and
many steps. Brussels sprouts, cab
bage, caulihower. carrots, onions, peas,
beans and all canned vegetables are
far more delicious cooked in this way.
Irish stew becomes a glorified French
entree, poor mans rice pudding a
rich mans dish.

RECIPES
SPANISH PEPPERS

Prepare six sweet green peppers by
cutting off one end of each and remov-
ing all seeds and ribs, leaving them so
they will stand upright. Cut enough
raw corn from the ear to make three
teacupfuls, slicing it off thinly two or
three times around, and scraping the
remaining pulp from the cob. Chop
fine one onion and three sweet red pep
pers, and fry these ten minutes in a
little olive OIL with two ripe tomatoes
cut small Add the corn. season with
level full, and on top of each lay an
inch-thick slice of ripe tomato as
cover. Salt and pepper the latter and
sprinkle with well buttered cracker
crumbs. Set closely together in a bak-
ing pan with a very little water in the
bottom, and bake three-quarters of an
hour, basting the outside of the pep
pers every ten minutes.
SPANISH RICE
Slice and fry one onion in little olive
oil. Add one can tomatoes, one cup
water; let come to a boil and add one
scant cup rice Season with salt and
chilli pepper cut fine and cook until rice
is DONE This is particularly nice with
fish.
CHILLI SAUCE
Twenty-four good sized tomatoes
peeled and sliced, ten green peppers
and one large, very large is better,
onion chopped fine, one quart vinegar,
one-half cup sugar, two tablespoons
salt, one teaspoon each of cloves, nut

WHERE TO KEEP COVERS

The common tin covers for pans and
kettles get rusty and bad looking and
require much labor to clean. 1 pur-
chased a set of six white enamel ware
covers of various sizes. 1 had a plain,
narrow molding nailed to some blocks
about one inch thick over the kitchen
table and near the stove. This gave
room to hang the covers behind with
their handles resting on the edge of
the molding. They look clean and
white and are easily kept so. Into
the molding l screwed small brass
hooks at intervals of two or three
inches, on which 1 hang my spoons,
ladies, meat fork, potato masher and
bread board.

THE PANTRY DRAINING BOARD

If possible specify your buffers pam
try sink board to be made in one piece.
l know it is difficult to get material
wide enough, but where two boards are
Joined in places where water is sure
to wet them they are almost certain
to spread apart, and then dirt, ETC.,
gets into the crack and is very diff
cult to get out. The ordinary maid
simply will not take the trouble to do
so, so an eye-sore is the result. 1t is
an excellent plan not to finish this
board with varnish, but simply to leave
it bare, so that it can be carefully
washed at frequent intervals. Where
the sink fits underneath it there should
be plenty of putty along the joints to
prevent the water from stopping out
between board and sink when the
dishes are being washed.

cut or break into short lengths. Fill
thoroughly sterilized glass jars with
the beans, pressing in compactly until
the jar is filled to within an inch of the
top. Add a teaspoonful of salt and fill
the jar to the top with cold water. Put
the rubber ring around the neck of the
jar, and place the glass top on loosely.
If you use the spring top jar do not
press it down.
Have ready the boiler or large-bo
toned kettle with the wooden or wire
rack in the bottom. Put in as many
Jars as the space will accommodate
without permitting them to touch. A
coil of rope is good thing for keeping
them separated. Pour in cold water to
cover the cans to about half their
DEPTH adjust the cover of the boiler
and set over the fire. Bring the water
to a boil and cook steadily for an hour.
At the end of that time take off the
cover of the boiler to let the steam
escape, screw the tops of the cans
tightly or press down the spring, and
let stand in the boiler until the next
day.
On the following day raise the spring
again or partially unscrew the top so
as to relieve the pressure from the steam
about TO be generated. Add more water
to the boiler, if necessary, and cook an
hour or two more. Again screw tightly
and leave until the third day. Repeat
the same process on the third day,
cooking for as many hours as it is
necessary to make sterilization COM
plete, then screw tightly, and when cold
label and put away. In taking jars
from the boiler be careful not to ex
pose them to drafts, as a sudden
change in temperature is apt to crack
the jar.
CANNED CORN-Pluck the corn
when the grains are full of milk and
before they have commenced to harden.
Husk, silk and with a sharp knife cut
the grains from the ear, pressing out
the Juice from the hull. Pack the jar
as full as possible, add teaspoonful of
salt and proceed as with the beans.
TO CAN ASPARAGUS-Was and
trim the asparagus into even lengths,
put heads up in deep round saucepan,
cover with boiling water and cook fif-
teen minutes. Drain, cook and arrange
neatly in perfectly Straight-sided jars,
add a teaspoonful of salt and fill to
overfiowing with cold water. Lay on
the tops and boil for an hour. On the
second day repeat the boiling for half
hour and the third day an hour. As
paragus keeps particularly well.
CANNED OKRA-Wash the young
and tender pods, cut in inch pieces,
pack in jars and proceed as usual.
Okra is a great addition to many
soups. Chicken gumbo is particularly
nice.
TOMATO CANNED WHOLE-Select
medium sized solid tomatoes. Put in
wire basket and plunge in pan of
boiling water. Rub off the skins and
arrange in wide-mouthed jars. Fill
with cold water, adjust the rubbers, lay
on the tops and stand in the wash
boiler. Cover, bring to the boiling
point and boil half an hour Screw
down the tops and leave in the boiler
until the next day. Repeat the cooking
for another half hour, reckoning from
the time the water reaches the boiling
point, then screw tightly. Tomatoes
are easily kept and do not require as
long cooking as most vegetables

In England a wife murderer is
speedily tried and sentenced to
die and the whole world ap-
plauds. His wealth and social
prominence availed him nothing.
If DR.. Crippen had taken the
trouble to bring his wife to the
United States before carving
her up the chances are it would
have been proven he was sub
iect to all kinds of insanity and
he perhaps would have escaped
altogether the consequences OF
his crime. They really seem to
believe in England in executing
murderers.

YOUNG MEMS DAY.
October 29-The Natural Place
for Young Men is in the Dem
ocratic Party.

State Democratic Chairman
EEler has appointed October 10Th
as Young Mems Day. On that
day all of the Democratic speak
ers over the State will give
special attention to young men.
In response to ex-Gov. Jarvis's
recent letter asking that the
young men of the State take their
proper place in public service,
many young men throughout the
State have written letters of ap-
probation. These expressions
have been so full of zeal and
patriotism that Chairman Eller
mas decided to make Young
Mems Day" a Statewide event.
In every county in the State some
young man of high character
and useful purpose is being ap-
pointed to lead the young voters
in their work for the State and
for the Democratic party, whose
mission it is to serve the State.
Hundreds of young men will cast
their first vote this year. The
object of the movement is to so
fix the minds of these upon the
duties Of citizenship that they
will become citizens always ready
to study public questions and to
vote intelligently for their coun-
try's welfare. Young men have

IN business and politics. The

young men who ask only a free

the country over to the uncheck-

Candid Republicans will tell
you that they do not expect to
elect their candidates in the
State this year but that they are
hoping for great things two
years hence. Every Democrat
ought to roll up his sleeves and
do his possible to help bury
clean out of sight that hope,
for there is no use blinking the
fact that if Democrats go tc
sleep in fancied security there is
danger. Eternal vigilance in
guarding against Republican in
roads is the price of good gov
