How TO Protect DINING Table.


The housewife who possesses high
~ polished table does not care to have
It ruined by hot dishes. for wherever
the hot dishes are placed upon the
table, If the table is not properly pro-
tected, an ugly white blemish occurs.
Even though one has beneath the
table linen the heaviest of silence
cloths, there is often danger Of the
heat penetrating to the table. The
only way to make sure that the table
will be protected is to place asbestos
mats beneath hot dishes, and asbestos
mats, unless they are covered, are I'M
slightly. One of the most attractive
ways of Disgusting the useful mat Is
to make linen cover with embroider-
ed scalloped edges and slip this over
the mat. Before slipping the mat into
the linen holder cover it with canton
flannel on both sides. Many of the
table mats bought in the stores are
made of straw. These, however, are
not heat proof. In order to make them
so one can add to them piece of as
bestos, placing it on the under side,
where it will be hidden from view.
These straw and linen covered asbestos
mats are indispensable when one is
using daily service or luncheon cloth
where the silence cloth is not used.

New Yorks Underground Railways

The amazing rate at which subway
travel is increasing in this city has led
to a more generous plan on the part
of the Public Service Commission fol
future extensions of the road. The
commission states that the estimated
cost of the new developments will be
not under $350,000,000. They esti-
mate that the total length Of the single
tracks in the whole system including
the existing subway and elevated lines
in Manhattan and the Bronx and the
Rapid Transit lines of the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company will be SIX
hundred and twenty-nine miles, as
against the length of two hundred and
ninety-six miles of the existing line.
In the year ending June 30th, 1911,
about eight hundred million passen'
gers were carried. When the new
system has been built, the total capa.
city will be upward of three billion
passengers year.

FRIENDS IN FEATHERS.
How to Attract Nice Birds About Your
Place.

Place.
Some birds are on quite intimate
terms with the children of men"
None are more SO. perhaps. than the
wee nut brown wrens. No birds are
more interesting or may be more
easily watched. for these tiny crea-
lures need only the encouragement of
the right kind of nesting boxes to take
up their abode almost at ones very
door. For some years pair of these
birds (the same wrens apparently re
turning each spring. have nested in a
cigar box tied to one of the pillars Of
my porch. Regardless of the fact that
this porch is a veritable outdoor living
room from which some of the family
are seldom absent. the birds have car
ried on their housekeeping and fed
their wee babies entirely unmindful
of us.
The secret of success in Turing wrens
Is that the hole In the box provided is
small enough. The outline of TWEEN
ty-five cent piece Is just the right size,
but as wrens raise two broods these
birds will often take possession of a
box put out late In June. Bluebirds.
martens and sparrows also nest in
houses provided for their use. but such
boxes must be placed some distance
from the home If they are to be occu-
pied, as these birds are more timid.--

]. B. ADAMS SELLS
ENTIRE APPLE CROP
The Wenatchee- Columbia Fruit COmpan,
Closed Deal for Entire Crop
Yesterday

Prof. R. E. Tumble representing
the Wenatchee-Columbia Fruit Com.
pany came here on No. l yesterday and
closed deal with Mr.. Adams for his
entire crop in time to take the train
back to Wenatchee in less than two
hours.
The figures are not made public but
are entirely satisfactory says Mr.. Adams
This is the second crop grown on
his orchard which consists wholly o.
Winesap and Rome Beauties. There
is eighteen acres in the orchard, which
is considered one of the best in the
upper valley.
The apples are all intended for ex
port and vii, go to Engla nd, says Mr.
Adams. Mr.. Tumble, who is con-
sidered an apple expert, said they are
highly colored, Of good size and form
and as good as any he has seen. Mr..
Adams has agreed to pack them and
they will all go under the Buster Brown
label, handsome colored lithograph.
Mr.. Tumble estimates the crop at
over five thousand boxes, or upwards
OF FIVE cars.

Night Marshal and Police Magistrate
Scrap

Last Tuesday night after the coun-
Gil adjourned, perhaps it would be
more correct to say Wednesday morn
ing, as the difficulty came up between
one and two in the morning, night
marshal Pratt and police magistrate
Grant met near the corner Of Front
and Eighth streets and had some
words. The magistrate said the night
marshal had lied about something,
whereupon the night marshal smote at
the magistrate, who got out Of reach
OF his heavy hand, then there was
some voc-i-ferious language by some
body. On Wednesday Marshal Pratt
made complaint before justice Of the
peace Rice against Magistrate Grant
for using language calculated to pro-
woke a breach OF the peace. The
trial was set for Thursday but was con-
tinued to Tuesday Oct. 8, on account
Of the absence of material witness.

HOW TO USE ODDS AND ENDS
Handy Ways to Utilize Remnants From
the Bargain Counter.

Out of odd lengths of ribbon or half
yards of satin stock of little bows
and cravats can be made which pro-
vide such an Indispensable finish to the
jabot or a lace shirt. The merest
strips of ribbon can be converted into
the little posies of mixed flowers
which can be worn In the center of the
corsage or tucked into the coat front.
Purple ribbon can be turned into vio-
let's, pink, red and crimson into rose
buds and berries, blue into fUrgetme-
nots and green into leaves and stems,
while other shades are equally useful,
roses, peoples and jessamine being cas-

The berries, which are so popular Just
now, all that Is required in addition to
the remnant of satin or ribbon is a lit

into the tiny tufts. Each one should
be attached around "crook" of wire
and then covered with the material.
These pellets can afterward be massed
together to represent elderberries or
Ivy with foliage of green satin or silk.
A few yards of beaded net can be
converted even at home into a useful
tunic which will entirely metamor.

Of the tunic can be edged with en-
broldery or fringe which has been sold
probably at a fifth of its original price.
A clever dressmaker can frequently
join strips of embroidery together, hid

while short remnants of the same pat
tern can often be picked up for con-
siderably less than If the trimming
were all in one piece.

CASCADE HIGHWAY BY
WAY OF CADY PASS
County Engineer from SnOhOmiSh
County Favors Cady Pass for
Scenic Highway

Oliver Bates and his son William,
who were in town Tuesday, gave this
paper the following story: A. B. Cut
ter, chief deputy engineer from Sno'
homish county came to Mr.. Bates
hotel last Saturday and engaged his
son, William to guide a party up the
little Wenatchee river from Lake
Wenatchee to Cady pass in the
Cascade range. The party re-
urned Tuesday and Mr.. Bates says
he found a feasible and easy grade.
Very little rock will be encountered and
the pass is lower than Stephens pass.
Snohomish county commissioners favor
this route for the reason that it will be
less expensive for them and will open
up a body Of good land and large
and valuable tract Of timber. Sno-
homish county has built good road
from Index to Silver creek, distance
OF nine miles, from that point it is six
teen miles to the summit, and the
road can be built for less money than
can the road from Index to Yelling
ton, which he says is known to be a
difficult country to build road
through. Besides, he says, the coun-
try from Index to the summit is no
good for either timber or agricultural
purposes, whereas the Silver creek
valley is rich in timber and has lot oil
good land.
Mr.. Bates adds to this by saying
that road up the little Wenatchee
river will open up the finest body OIL
timber in Chelan county, together
with a considerable body Of agricul-
tutal land. A good trail is now being
built from the lake to the summit al
Cady pass and will be finished before
winter sets in.

LOGGING OPERATIONS
ON A LARGE SCALE
The Demand for Lumber and Fruit
Boxes Has Caused Revival in the
Logging Business .

Not since the big saw mill Of the
Lamb Davis Lumber Co. was built
nine years ago, has the outlook fol
prosperity in this line been so good.
The mill has been running since early
in the spring and until last Saturday
night it ran all day and until nine at
night. The planning mill and box fac
tory is yet running until that hour ev-
cry night. The saw mill will not shut
down until compelled to do so on ac-
count OF snow, the latter part OF Nov
ember.
While the capacity of the box mill
was almost doubled when the mill be-
gan to run this spring but so large is
the demand for fruit boxes in this val
lev that the mill is behind on orders
and fruit men are complaining Of not
being able to get boxes. :.
All this has stimulated interest in
the logging business. Mr.. F. ]. Cline,
who has charge of the logging opera
tions of the company is making log
ging contracts with every responsible
man who comes along.
Every ranch owner who has logs to
sell has had no trouble in disposing OF
them. A number of them in the vi
cinity of the lake and on the upper
Wenatchee river and on the Chewawa
and Mason Creek are engaged in put
ting logs on the bank OF the river.
Two laps have taken $4,000 log
ging contract in section %, on the
Wenatchee river. Geo. Mcdonnell,
of Spokane, has taken a contract to
put in eight million feet of logs off
section 81, and the Steffens Bros,
from St. Mary's Idaho, are expected to
arrive here this week with their outfit,
to log section IS, where there is not
less than eight million feet of timber.

THE AIR WAS THICK WITH FLYING STALKS.
The prince, tactful as ever, glanced at
those about him, then at his plate;
then he picked up stalk after stalk, ate
what he wanted and threw the balance
on the carpet behind his chair.
A moment later thirty people in that
room were eating asparagus in Persian
fashion. The air was thick with fly
ing stalks, and the attendants, trained
to look more serious than ever on such
occasions, never batted an eyelash nor
moved a muscle.

He Did it Before and He Will Do il
Again

Thirteen days from to-day the fore
most man of his time will pass into
private life after seven years of most
varied official activities, most of them
historically important and all of them
dramatic and exciting. The striking
individuality of Mr.. Roosevelt; his pio-
neership in a hundred different paths;
his bold attack upon long established
evils; his impregnable place in the
hearts OF the people-these facts, ex-
hibited in a thousand and one lights
during stormy encounters, have made
him an ideal model and pattern for
shoals of counterfeit "reformers," bo-
gus crusaders, and base imitators. The
more Theodore Roosevelt was tested
by fire and found to be pure gold the
more eager were charlatans to initiate
him. A counterfeit is never counter
feited; it is the genuine which is fol-
lowed by its spurious shadow.
The esteem and gratitude of the
American people will follow Mr.. Roose-
welt to Africa, and all patriotic men
will wish him thorough rest and recre-
alton, in order that, in due time. he
may return and devote his remarkable
powers to the welfare of his country. -
Washington Post, February, 1909.
The Righteous Roosevelt
Mr.. Roosevelt will stand out, as inti-
mated in the Washington Post, as a
President in many respects unprece-
denied. His achievement is not
marred by one broken pledge. His
biographers, to date, are unable to
find single instance in which he en-
ployed wild promises to smooth his
pathway to Office. Always he has
striven at genuine evils and sought to
effect genuine reforms. No conscious
or inadvertent hypocrisy cumbers his
good name or shadows his political
future.
AS much, sadly, cannot be said for
some dozens Of demagogues, who, as
the Post saliently points out, have left a
trail Of ruin in their wake by attempting
to initiate Roosevelt, but with cheap
ness and wretched judgment and pal
pable insincerity.
Roosevelt goes back to private life,
man honored and respected and &C
claimed by all civilization.
Without Roosevelt's acumen or hon
esty, they endeavored to emulate his
methods and his success. They had
sufficient common shrewdness to sense
the marvellous manner in which his
brand of righteousness had laid hold on
the popular heart. Lacking his sin
cerity, lacking his grasp of details and
generalities, lacking his supreme good
sense and his cardinal honesty, they
gave endless promissory notes to be
redeemed in impossible performances.

and simple as it appeared, some of

some other motive, having marked
their ballots for persons whose names
we're 40 printed on the official bal
lots. All OF these '~'scattering' votes
are required to be tabulated and made

OF election officers slso!operated to de-
lay the proceedings. In one case the
election judges failed to return the
poll book and tally list in which they
are required to certify to the correct
ness OF the count made in that precinct.
