Alleged Shooting Between Chief of
Police and Mayor

Rumors flew thick and fast through
the town last Saturday night that
Mayor Walker and Chief OF Police
Lindsay had INDUCED in a little
shooting bout between nine and ten
o'clock in a remote section of the
town. Mayor Walker, it is alleged,
was doing little detective work in
trying to secure evidence of some
sort against Chief Lindsay. 1t is
said the Mayor Saturday night
asked Councilman Pole to accom-
pany him over the hill on some bus
mess, and later told him that he
had information that Lindsay was
seen near the town dump, and
thither they directed their steps
Mr.. Pole shortly Afterwards re-
turned to town. Several other
friends, it is said, we're with the
Mayor to aid him in his investiga-
tiOnS.
a couple was later sighted by the
Mayor and his party, one OF whom
he took to be Chief Lindsay. When
the couple realized they were dis
covered,i is said the one supposed
to be Lindsay drew his pistol and
shot in the air. A second shot was
fired at the Mayor, so it is supposed,
when the latter returned the fire
Another shot was fired when the
suspect took to his heels and van
ished.
1t is said the Mayor and his
friends are sure the man in ques
tion was Chief Lindsay, while the
latter, it is alleged, is equally EN-
phatic in denial that be was Their,
at that time. Therefore, develop
ments are awaited with interest.
The recent charges against Cnie
Lindsay by Mayor Walker. his tria
and expulsion from the police force
his reelection By the Town Council
are fresh in the mind of the public.

"DLUE Monday" might lose some
of its terror for the average
family if the weekly washing
were changed to some other
day. Steam ladened rooms. odor of
boiling suds. an untidy house from
kitchen to attic and pickup" meals
all day. combined with the accumula-
ton Of duties and cares since Satur-
day. make Monday a disagreeable day
for every one. Whoever established
the custom of setting Monday aside
for a wash day" made life just a lit
tie harder than necessary in scores Of
homes. And yet so firmly established
has the custom become that it takes
genuine courage to break away from
it and wash on Tuesday instead.
When you think about it. how much
more suitable Tuesday is for the work
than Monday. which. following a day
Of rest. finds the whole house more or
less disarraDged,
1t is rarely possible and sometimes
quite unwiSe to attempt to outline any
housekeeper's work for her. One must
know conditions and be familiar with
the life Of the family before being
really competent to arrange the rou-
tine Of domestic affairs. But for the
benefit Of the woman who has every
thing to do for her family and who
perhaps is not wholly satisfied with
her present plan let me present this
program for at least Monday and
Tuesday:
Monday Put the house in order.
Plan the meals for Tuesday and do
extra baking for that day. Get the
laundry ready for washing. That
means look over the soiled clothing
and do the necessary mending. Tears
and broken seams increase in wash
ing. Take out stains. 1t is much cas-
ier to do this before washing than
after. and there is more time the day
Milford chronicle., 1910-11-18

before than when the washing is in
process. Soak soiled clothes. See that
tubs and other things are ready for an
early start; also be sure that soap,
bluing and other supplies are on hand.
Tuesday.-The special work for this
day will be the washing. but it should
not be carried on to the complete dis
arrangement of the family life. Good.
substantial meals should be served
promptly. as on other days, and the
wife aud mother should not be so en-
slaved by the washtub and wringer
that she has no thought or attention
for husband and children. There is no
reason why she should be If the wash
ing has not beyond all reason piled up
her work so that it requires almost
.superhuman effort to accomplish 1t.
While preparing breakfast the laundry
fire may be started and the water
heated After breakfast and after the
dining table has been cleared the
washing can be commenced, and II 1t
is performed in an intelligent way
from start to finish it ought not to in
terfere to any great extent with the
ordinary comforts of the day. The
clothes were sorted and some Of them
put to soak the day before. That
means a long stride toward an early
completion.
The Order of the Wash.
One reason why there are so many
{ndimarant Iaundresses and so much
inferior laundry work is because little
or no attention has been given to diff
ference in fabrics. Cotton. linen, silk
and wool are practically treated In
the same way. The same kind Of soap
Is used for all. They are washed In
water of the same temperature. Some
times they are washed In the same
water. They are given the same
amount of rubbing and equally indif-
ferent rinsing.
In sorting the clothes arrange them
In five piles as follows:
Table linen and fine muslins.
Bed linen. towels and handkerchiefs
previously soaked in ammonia and
water II used for a cold.
Flannels.
Colored cottons and stockings.
Soiled towels and cloths.
No one questions that soaking the
clothes loosens the dirt and makes the
washing easier, but only white clothes
or fast colors can be treated in this
way, and Il is not well to soak all

Dealing with the Koyukuk country in a recent issue, the Panama Leader says that the diggings in the vicinity of Wise man are but as a fly speck in an immense mineralized zone, the extent of which cannot be even approximately estimated and thousands of creeks have never felt the touch of a prOspector's pick.

INSTALLING 4 EREDGE

There are many factors to be taken into consideration ill any plan for the installation ol a dredg- ing plant, says report of the Unit ed States geological survey, and the neglect O! any ot them may be fatal to the success of the under taking.
 There is, for example, the prob- lem oI the determination of values in the ground. It might seem su- perAuous to insist on the import ance of a thorough preliminary in vestigatlon ol the ground, but those familiar with the conditions will recall cases where this vital factor has been practically neglect ed.
 There are also to be considered the dimensions and character of the alluVial deposits, the vertical and horizontal distribution and the character O the gold; the bedrock Sui lIaCe, its hardness, receptiVity for gold, and adaptability for dredg- ing; the water and fuel supplies; the length of the working season; the cost of material, labor. and transportation; and the selection of dredge best adapted to the condi- tions presented by the ground un- der consideration.
