Boil, being careful not to scorch, for about ten minutes-longer if you think it is not done. Put in hot cans, fill to overf1owing with hot wa ter and seal.

Worlds Greatest Woman Pianist Com
Ing to Salem.

Since her sixth year Olga Steeb
has been intended as concert plan
iste At that time she and her father
were attending the concert of youth
ful prodigy, Paloma Schrass, and
while there little Olga was seized with
the desire to become a great artistic.
She told her father about It; the mat
ter was discussed at home, and 1t was
then decided by the parents that ev-
erything which would help toward an
eventual success should be done The
little girl was made to understand that
plano playing was a very serious un-
dertaking, and only to be mastered
by many years Of the most earnest APP
plication. Since that time the early
morning hours have been set aside for
piano practice, to which she has de-
voted four hours daily, making $4,000
hours practice. She was taken from
the public schools on this account,
and, barring two years special work
as day pupil in a girls school, Miss
Steeb has always had private tutors
to guide her studies, In addition to
her practice, her father has devoted
from one to two hours each day to
general musical instruction, and to
looking after the phrasing and inter-
pretation Of the works in hand He
also attended every piano lesson that
Miss Olga had, while there taking par
ticular notice of her instructions and
later seeing to It that the child did
exactly as she was told The little
girl was always a most faithful work
er, and, instead of having to compel
her to practice, It was necessary to
lock the piano when the time was up,
to keep her away from the instrument
However, she would never practice on
Sunday, always reserving this day for
Sabbath school and a walk in the
woods with her father and sisters, to
whom she is very devoted.
Miss Steeb, at the age of 19, had a
memorized repertoire of 100 standard
compositions, the greatest of any
known musician anv ono of which
she is able to play in concert on two
hours notice.
Miss Steeb will be heard at the ar
mory on Friday night, September q,
having been engaged as the special
extra attraction for the series of en-
tertainments which will be given in
Salem by DR.. H. C, Epley.

JAMES SKE[LY
is PENSIONED
BY THE COMPANY

Thirty-two years Of honorable SER
vice with the Southern Pacific Com
pany in Oregon, is the record OF James
Skelly, section boss of the Lebanon
branch, who will be retired under the
pension rules Of the company shortly.
Skelley not only has record for hon
orable service, but in all Of those
years he has never missed a single
days work. He went to work for the
Southern Paciflc-known at the time
as the Oregon I. California-ln Sep
tember, 1880.
Shortly after taking employment he
was given charge Of the Lebanon and
Albany branch, and he has been the
first and only section boss on that
branch. Skelly has saved a sufficient
sum to enable him to purchase 100
acre farm two miles west of Lebanon,
and will begin the life Of farmer as
soon as the pension board authorizes
his pension,
The pension system of the Southern
Pacific Company is absolutely volun-
tary. Employees are not required to
contribute to any fund. When they
reach the age Of 10 or have been in
capacltated for work after an honor
able service, they are retired with a
pension. On August 81, 1912, there
were sos pensioners on the rolls of
this railroad. These men and women
are from all departments. Some are
officials and many are from the main
tenance Of way department. Since the
establishment of the pension depart
ment, in September, 1908, the South
ern Pacific has dlsbursed s1,OSS,O22
in pensions.
