very small-ten people would crowd II
uncomfortably. Also, the service for ten
would strain the resources of her china
closet and pantry.
But she must make IL a SUGGEST She
thought OF Carrie with her larger apart
ment, larger dining room and better
equipped kitchen. Yet Helen was deter
mined that Carrie should have no better
dinner.
For days she had studied the Thanks
giving menus in all the November home
and housekeeping magazines. But they
we're all so elaborate-none Of them could
she follow entire. .,
This morning she cleared the dining
room table, and now, with all the mag
azines spread before her. she began to
write out on a large sheet of paper a
menu compiled from them all.
There was so much to consider in maxi
ing up this menu-the number of people,
the cost, the fact that there was no one
to serve It but Della, After much pom
dering over the magazines, much nib
bling of the end of her pencil and much
consultation with Della, Helen finally
wrote out this dinner:
Grapefruit with Maraschino Cherries.
Cream of Tomato Soup.
Bread Sticks.
(rhree at each pate, ted with orange and
Celery Olives. Stated Aim9nds'
Cranberry Sauce Blackberry Jelly.
Sweet Potatoes Baked Squash. Asparagus
Salad a la Vinaigrette.
Plum Pudding, Wine Sauce.
Sweet Cider. Coffee.
Nuts. Fruits. Bonbons. Raisins.
The only dish with which Helen was
not thoroughly familiar was the salad
a ia vinalgrette. And she had chosen
that for the decorative qualities, as
shown by the illustration. She knew
that no dish could ever be made to look
like a magazine illustration, but she knew
that II she followed the directions very
carefully this fancy salad could be made
most attractive.
On antheT piece OF paper, Helen now
began TO figure up the cost Warren had
said last night, Now, there's no sense
in splurging on this dinner. You ought
to be able TO get up a pretty decent meal
FIR ten people for S20-that's 50 plate.
You can dine anywhere for that"
Twenty dollars-could she get it up for
that? The turkey alone would be-what?
Here she began TO figure. They had de-
cIded that two small turkies would be
better than one very large one, as the
two would give greater selection OF
parts. Everybody always wanted the
breast or the first Joint.
Two ten-pound turkeys at 80 cents a
pound would be $500. Then the grape
fruit. five at rs cents apiece, would be
H25.
But she crossed out these figures ana
began over again. She would write them
down with the prices in the order they
came on the menu, and then add them all
upi together;

WILLIAM lLOYD'S REPORT
on THE DEnIIOH |

At the request of several Salt Lake
mining men, William Lloyd, who is
superintendent Of the Godbe proper
ties in Phoebe, says the Deseret New,
made an inspection Of the Demijohn
mine at Phoebe. Mr. Lloyd is one CT
the pioneers of the camp and is cen
sidered as one Of the best posted mon
OF that district fIe discovered the
Prince system Of fissureing and has
developed that mine. 1t is said that
new parties will assume charge of
the Demijohn shortly and it is the
policy to make known the exact con-
ditions at the property, both posi- &
and negative. The report is as follows:
THE development Of the Demiiohn
mine consists Of a accompaniment
shaft, 200 feet in depth with three
levels, the 100-foot level, 125-foot lev
ell and the 200-foot level
From the shaft a drift has been
run in southeasterly direction on
the 100-foot level a distance of IS
feet, on ore. A cross-cut was run at
this point to determine the width
of the ore body, which exposed 20
feet The drift was continued from
this cross-cut in southeasterly di-
rection, about rs feet, still in ore
A winze was sunk at this point to a
depth of rs feet and at an angle of
about 80 degrees to the southwest t.
This winze connects with the 125-foot
level and shows an average of five
feet of ore with only the foot wall
| exposed. The norShNesterly drift
was driven on the strike Of the vein
distance of about 80 feet No par
: ticular values were found. A crof s
cut to the southwest should encount n

COMMISSIONERS PASS
ON ROUTINE BUSINESS

Z The board of county commissioners
met at the court house in regular
Lnontdly session last Monday. Owing
to the washout on the Phoebe branch
train on that day, Commissioner Ry-
an was unable to be present; but the
business was transacted by Commits
sioners Ronnow and Ew.ng. Outside
OF the rgular routine of auditing the
bills presented against the county
there was little to do; hence the NEE
ing was a brief one.
The resignation Of w. H. Edwards
~ constable of Panaca township was
accepted; but his successor was not
appointed.
An engineers license was granted
to Arthur Adams upon application 81
the latter with proper endorsements
as to his competency to operate mine
hosting engines.
A petition was received from Pa
naca and signed by more than fift,
residents of that place, requestin,
the commissioners to close the poo
room conducted there by Ernes
Gentry, the petitioners complainin,
that the place is menace to tn
town in moral way Because Of
absence Of Commissioner Ryan, tn
matter was laid over for month.
