LYE srEwED PEACHES

The pure food agitation which has been
principally over the question Of benzoate
Of soda has now taken . new turn and
renewed interest will doubtless be aroused
over this question.
1t is said that in most Of the canneriee
Of she country peaches are stewed in red
hot csustic soda to eat away the skins aud
thereby save the cost Of knife pseling, the
difference in cost amounting to q cent
and q half or two cents per can.
In the process Of this lye stewing. almost
all the favor Of the peach disappears and
doubtless little caustic soda is left on
each piecs OF fruit as q memeuto Of its
trip through the cannsFy.
Caustic soda strong enough to eat away
the skin Of an unripe peach must be any
thing but soothing TO the inner man aud
child. The full sigui6cance Of this is best
understood in connection With the fact
that caustic soda is used in making many
kinds Of soap; in fact, il is the dirt eating
part Of soap.
i is said that the great majority Of the
cadnsries use Ihe lye process il place Of
the kniie-peeling method. Attempts
have been made fOE sometime to get the
Department of Agriculture to make q
ruling on this question which would com.
pei the Gamers who use this method to
say SO on the labels Of their goods, II
looks now as II the question will be passed
up 10 Congress for a specific law covering
this phase Of the pure food agitation.
Fhe use of caustic soda is impossible
with ripe fruit because it discoIors ripe
peach SO that it will not pass muster With
the users Of high, grade canned fruits. In
consequence this process is possible only
with unripe fruit, and green fruit is pur-
Posely gathered for canning.
Owing TO the absence Of any marks on
the cans TO indicate the use OF caustic
soda. the only way the customer can tell
il he has purchased Iye process can OF
fruit is BY taste. Open can of peaches,
wash away the 81 rup from a piece Of the
fruit. Then taste it, II it is void OF
favor, woody aud pulpy, aud has soapy
appearance, it is undoubtedly the I've
peeled variety.

dence the defense offered no testi- mOny. It was contended in the first place that Schmidt had already been in jeopardy. probably a reference to his experience in the justices court. It was further contended that playing poker is not an inhibited pastime any way; that while the law forbids the playing of draw poker or stud poker it mentions nothing at all in reference to poker.
 The upshot of it was that Schmidt was convicted and sentenced to four months in the county jail where he has been since December 2S. Along with the papers in this case there was sent notice that on January 10 his attor ney will move in supreme court for his admission to bail.
 Another case which has just been brought up is that of the shannon Copper company appellant against Dell M. Potter. appellee from Graham coun- ty. This was an action by which MT. Potter sought a construction of a con- tract between him and the copper

company for the taking over of rail
 road in which he owned forty nine per cent of the stock. The name of ! the railroad company was mentiosed in the contract along with that of Mir Potter as party Of tine first part" Al other times Mir. Potter was described
 as party of the first part" and again
 the railroad company exclusive of MT Potter was so described.
 It made a difference of about sl50o to Mir Potter who was party of the first part and that is why he wanted the contract construed. It was stated
 in the complaint that MT. Potter did not consult his attorney about the con- tract and not being "a master of die ton. rhetoric and grammar he failed to discover various loopholes which his attorneys afterward found. He was given judgment in the lower court.
 Still another case from Graham county is~that of Ivan Hoefeld. a ner- chant in that part of Clifton called Chase Creek which takes it's name from that tributary of the San Fran cisco against the Detroit Copper com pany. That is. Mir. Hoefeld was a merchant until certain flood two or three years ago.
 Mir. Hoefeld holds the copper com pany responsible for that flood. His complaint said that the company had constructed. or rather had made a dam, for it is stated that in the making of it no attention was made to mechanical principles. The dam consisted of loose rock and tailings. thrown higgledly piggledly at the mouth of a certain "Yanky Gulch'' There were no spill ways. fumes or other means of egress for the surcharging water which ere ated a vast reservoir Then tff.- flood came; the tailings ani rock melted under it's fury as 1iH tine stock of merchandise of the plaintiff q little farther down. This stock was valued at $l0.000 and the fixtures e: the .'tOr,. at 5000 for the aggregate of which suit was brought.
 The answer of the copper company was succinct IL liSclaime resIcrsi- b;lity for the flood hut laid II Dn providence It also said that ihe plain tiff was guilty of more than cnntribu- tory negligence iI having set up a mercantile business in the very bed of Chase Creek.
