The Deeth Flood

Sheriff Clark informs us that when he
sent the dispatch from Deeth Wednes-
day morning that reused Elkoites from
their peaceful slumbers the situation
there was critical. Before sending the
dispatch he had assisted in carrying
Mrs Monks, Mrs. johnson and Miss
Lizzie Wilson from their homes. To
take these ladies from their homes, it
was necessary to wade through water
nearly waist deep. In going after the
family of one of the Western Pacific
employees with wagon, the water ran
into the wagon box.
1t was after midnight when he sent
the dispatch and in the darkness it was
impossible to size up the situation
except from the immediate surround
ings. The agent at Halleck was called
and asked if he could deliver message
to Stanley Wines and he replied that
he could by yelling it across the street
as he could not leave his office. This
was taken to mean that he was shut off
by water. The sheriff's object in send
ing the dispatch was to warn the
ranchers along the river of what APP
peared to he the beginning of Il serious
flood, so that they could move their
families and stock to places of safety.
He did not intend to cause any excite
ment among the people of the town.

nized that some white -four so COM
monty used is so lacking in nutriment
that they have forbidden any more to
be turned out at the mills Be care
ful that you do not buy any of the old
stock.
Then, too, II you are just learning
to keep house, you may not know that
there Is bread -four and a some
what more starchy and less glutinous
pastry flour. Be sure to buy the
bread flour. You may distinguish 1t
both by its slightly yellowish appear
ance, and by its granular, rather than
powdery feel. Then, too, it does not
cake when squeezed in the hand, as
does the pastry flour.
Many excellent compressed yeasts
can now be had, and 1t is perhaps not
worth while for a woman who can get
1t fresh to make her own. You will
require one pint of scalded milk, one
tablespoonful of sugar, one teaspoon
hll Of salt, one-third cake of COM
pressed yeast, and, of course, enough
-four to make a stiff dough. Be sure
to measure the milk after It has been
scalded.
Put the sugar. salt and scatded
milk into large mixing bowl or
bread pan, stir u1:il the sugar is dis
solved and the milk lukewarm; then
add the yeast, which has previously
been softcned in little water. Final
ly, stir in the -four until you have a
doushg stiff enough 10 fold easily.
Now mold it for minute or two to
give 1t shape. as well as to more thor
oughly mix the ingredients, and then
set 1t to rise il! 4 room OF 20 degrees
Fahrenheit. Cover it closely with an
old tablecloth, th1t the top may not
dry out, and leave it in peace for
eight hours. Most people like to put
their bread to rise over night, mixing
1t late in the evening and baking 1t
the first thing in the morning. Or one
can mix 1t in The morning and bake it
just before dinner.
If it has not risen sufficiently in the
allotted time it is sign that the room
was not warm enough during some
portion Of the time of rising. On the
other hand, too warm a room or too
long a period of rising will sour the
dough. The proper amount of rise is
just double the original bulk.
Before baking, knead the dough for
five minutes on bread board to dis
tribute the large bubbles and so make
the bread finer grained. Mixing
knives are now more generally used
than ones fists Tor this operation.
Lastly, shape it into a loaf by doubling
the edges under again and again until
you have a smooth, oblong mound.
place it in an oiled baking pan, let 1t
rise quickly in a warm place until 1t
again doubles itself, and bake in an
oven which Is hot at first, but which
gradually decreases in temperature,
for All hour and a quarter.
The recipe I have given Is for one
very large loaf. 1t Is easy enough to
double or treble it IL you want to
bake more at one time.
The kneading should be done very
gently. If you knead 1t too hard, the
bread will be heavy.-Boston Herald.
