GETTING FULL FOOD VALUE
German Invention That Bursts Starch
Cells Has Distinct Eccnom-
ical Worth.

Big pulled rice, wheat and oat
grains are probably made under an
old German invention and patent
for making potato whisky. No mat
ter how long a potato is boiled its
minute cellulose framework, or skel-
eton, will still hold many unbroken
and unburst starch cells, so wise
old Dutch chemist steamed it under
pressure of about 80 pounds in
boiler having temperature Of about
300 degrees Fahrenheit. When 800
degrees was reached a valve sudden
ly and automatically opened and
discharged all the boiled potato into
big vat as if it were shot out of a
gun. Of course when the pressure
was released the steam in the pota-
toes literally burst every microscopic
cell all to pieces. Such system
would seem invaluable in getting the
full food value of all grain and
starchy food, including beans, peas
and lentils. Many starch cells in
bread resist baking and pass through
the system without being digested or
assimilated, so causing a waste of
millions upon millions of dollars an
nually, besides straining and taxing
the digestive powers of mankind I'M
necessarily.

FEARED THE COMET.

Hundreds of Mexicans from the
villages along the Mexican border
gathered about crosses erected on the
hills awaiting the appearance Of the
fiery comet they thought was hurry
ing to destroy the world. For ten
days the superstitious Mexicans
sought to avert the impending catas-
trophe with music, incantations and
weird ceremonies, and many have
spent day and night in prayer. Hun
dreds sought refuge in caves and
canyons in the mountains. AS the
hours passed without catastrophe,
gloom gave way to joy, and dancing
and feasting replaced the religious
ceremonies.

POTENTIAL CONTACT MINES.

Three submarine contact mines,
each containing a charge of 1873
pounds Of gun cotton, were dis
charged by electricity in San Diego
bay between Fort Rosecrans and the
naval coaling station. The mines
were exploded automatically. A
barge was towed over them and
struck a submerged buoy so con-
trived as to complete the electric cir
cult the instant the barge touched it.
Although the charge was only one
sixth Of the one that would be en-
ployed in war time, the explosions
were of sufficient force to wreck a.
most anything that floats.

ROOF TOP KITCHENS.

The travelled man looked out over
the roofs from the seventh-story fiat.
This was on the East side.
"They should make more use of
the roofs than they do here in New
York." he said. eyes, | know, they
hang their wash there and have sons
roof parties and the children play
but in Portugal they use the roofs
for kitchens. They do all their
cooking on the roofs, so that the
odor will 60 up to the skies instead
of staying with them between the
walls all their lives. It's a good
idea"

NEEDLES.


Steel needles were invented by the
Moors. Before their general use
throughout the civilized world
thorns and fshbones, with a hole
pierced for an eye, were Ii use. The
first needles made in London were
by a Moor, in the time of Henry
VIII. In Queen Mary's day steel
needles were sold in Cheapside and
other London streets. After this
time the manufacture increased rap
idly, many Germans coming to
England and starting up needle
works in various places.

Predicted.

Portland, Ore, Nov. 24.-A rapid
extension of the lines of the mysteri-
Gus Strahorn project, the North Coast
railroad and the greater development
of Oregon, Washington and Idaho is
predicted today following the formal
acknowledgment of Hartman inter-
ests that they own the North Coast

ton of the Oregon Railroad & Navi-
CATION company, ten of it's subsidiary
companies and the North Coast was

BRAZILIAN OFFICERS ARE
KILLED BY MUTINEERS

London, Nov pa cablegram to
the Brazilian minister here today con-
firmed the report that Brazilian sail
ors mutined at Rio Janeiro and re-
ported the killing of three officers of
the battleship Minas Geraes. Other
officers of the warship were ashore
and thus escaped the fate of their fell
lows.
Only few details of the mutiny
have been received. The Brazilian le-
CATION here announced the mutiny re-
suited from dispute over the sail
ors' wages. In the absence Of confir-
nation of the report that the guns
of the battleship had been trained
on Rio Janeiro, the merchants here
doubt the truth OF the report. Reu-
ters agency here today posted an an
nouncement that the mutiny was con-
fined to the battleship. The Minas
Geraes is the largest vessel in the
Brazilian navy, AND was recently built
in England.

Pendleton's city tax levy for the
coming year Is to be 2-10 mills, or
two mills lower than the tax levy of
last year and three mills lower than
the tax levy of three years ago.
The finance committee reported to
the council last evening that this levy
would be sufficient to meet all the
current expenses and leave a balance
of several thousands to go on, so the
city attorney was instructed to draw
up the necessary ordinance. There
was no discussion over the matter.
The finance committee made a de-
tailed report showing the current ex-
penses for the year, the amount of
money now on hand and the amount
of money that the city could expect
during the year. The other members
of the council were thereby convinc-
ed that an eightmill levy would be
sufficient.
The two-tenths of a mill is for liz
brary purposes and is all the state
law will allow to be levied for that
purpose. Six mills Of the eight are
for general purposes, while the 9TH
er two are for street purposes.
The finance committee also recon-
mended last night that Main street
bridge fund should be started as it
was declared that the rebuilding of
the bridge across the Umatilla river
on Main street could not be DELAYED
more than one year at the utmost
On the present valuation a levy of
eight mills will bring in $4,000. In
addition to this the city expects to
collect $4,000 at least from LIQUOR Ii
censes and $4,000 from other licenses
and fines. These two estimates are
considered very conservative. In ad-
dition there Is now $4,000, approx
mately, in the city treasury and on
this basis 1t is estimated that the city
will have $4,000 above expenses.
Fire Election Officials Named.
Judges and clerks for the approach
ing election of officers for the differ

night by the council as follows:
Judges. Frank O'Gara, Wilbur Gard
ner Charles Miller. Clerks, D B.

Gordon Vindicated.
F. A. Gordon the proprietor of the
Court street near beer saloon who was
cited to appear before the council
one week ago and show cause why his
license should not be revoked, was
vindicated last night when the charge
against him, that of keeping his sa-
loon open on election day, was dis
missed.

Senator Ben Selling, of Multnomah
county, is to be the next president of
the state senate, says the Portland
Journal. At a meeting of the senate
delegation from this county held last
night Senator Selling was made the
unanimous choice of the delegation
for the position at the head of the
senate. This gives Senator Selling
seven votes from this county, which
added to those already pledged to him
from outside the county raises his
nucleus close to the needed majority
of 16 votes.
Now that the choice of the delega-
ton has been given to Senator Selling
and both the house and senate mem
bers stand back of him, there is no
doubt about his election.
At the meeting last night Senator
Dan ]. Malarkey renounced any inten-
tion he might have had of being a
candidate for president of the senate
and pledging the honor for his col
league. He said that he had been a
tentative candidate, that he would
have considered it an honor had the
delegation chosen him as it's candi-
date, but that he did not desire to en-
ter into a contest for the place and
that he pledged his support to Sena-

New York, Nov. 24.-Good cheer,
piety, gratitude, turkey and young
beggars all figured consplcuously in
New York's observance of Thanks
giving Day. In accordance with their
usual custom, thousands Of young
sters, both boys and girls, with paint
ed faces and fantastic garb, throng-
ed the streets uuring the morning
hours, begging pennies from passers-
by. Owing to the scarcity Of the tur-
key crop and the consequent high
prices charged for inferior birds,
there will be fewer turkeys carved
today than usual in the metropolis,
but there will be no lack of Joy and
merriment on that score.
Sumptuous Thanksgiving dinners
were served today at the various pen
al and charitable institutions of the
city and the prisoners and inmates
Jared better than many people on the
outside. The charitable organiza-
tions, however, have ample provisions
to feed all the poor OF the city, and
II any man, woman or child goes
hungry today 1t will not be the fault
OF the philanthropists. -.
The presidents injunction to at
tend church and offer prayers OF
Thanksgiving was obeyed by many
thousands this morning, and special
services were held in religious edi-
fices throughout the greater city. The
theaters are crowded this afternoon,
and for the evening performance not
a ticket is to be had at any box Of
flee OF any playhouse in the metrop-

Every hotel and restaurant in the

berries were prominent.
