For a raspberry jam cook the berries
for half an hour, pressing them down TO
extract all the juice possible. II the
fruit is juicy there will not be any ne
cessity Of adding water. The preserving
kettle, at the first, should be placed at
the back of the stove, so that, II there
is any lack OF juice, there will be no
danger of burning. At the end OF the
half hour of cooking remove some OF the
superfuous juice-about a cup and half
to every four quarts OF the fruit (meas-
ured before cooking. and TO this guam
tity Of the fruit add two and half pints
Of sugar. Cook the whole for another
half hour. put into small jars and seal
in the usual way.
The juice which was set aside may be
used in the preserving Of berries accord
ing TO the old German method. as above
outlined, or it may be boiled for five or
eight minutes with two-thirds Of its
measure OF sugar. The syrup thus OBJ
tanned can be used for favoring cake
frostings. whipped cream desserts, Ice
creams and various sweets.
THE BLACKBERRY.
Blackberries are hardly ripe as vet on
the vines in nearby localities, but there is
plenty OF this fruit in the market that
comes from elsewhere. and the housewife
can put the berries up now or later. tust
az she chooses
Blaekperries may be canned in accord
ance With the rules given for raspberries,
but here is a time honored recipe made
for blackberries only:
Add pint OF sugar to every two quarts
Of berries. Heat them very slowly, and
when boiling hot put them into the Jars
(sterilized) and seal Immediately. Less
sugar may be used If a sweet preserve is
not desired.
SPlCED eLAcKBERRIEs.
For spiced blackberries allow to every
seven pounds OF fruit half a pound of
vinegar and half a pint OF blackberry
juice, three pounds and half Of granu-
lated sugar an ounce OF powdered cinna-
mon. half an ounce of cloves and an
ounce of powdered allspice Let this
preparation cook steadily for from an
hour to an hour and half, until It is
thoroughly reduced.
For blackberry Jam allow three-auarters
Of pound of sugar to a pound OF fruit.
Mix the sugar with the fruit and set It
on the back Of the stove. Let il stand
there until the juice begins to show. Press
the fruit occasionally with a spoon to
start the juice. Then bring the mixture
forward over the fire and let It cook for

rather quickly. When very thick pour 1t
into marmalade jars and let IT stand for
twenty-four hours before covering It with
parafine in the usual way.

Lawson's Weak Statement

Commissioner Lawson in public statement tries
70 crawl from under the charges of A. L. Thorn that
he is controlled by Stone Webster and is not work
ing for the interest of the people in managing the
municipal light and power business.
lawson tries to dodge behind the statement of
Thorn that he had refused to push the city business
and sell power by saying EFF it was true had re-
fused to sell power to any it would be in the
newspapers immediately"
The fact that Thorn was let out probably has in
spred him to tell lot of things on the department
Of light and power. But the only question at issue
Is whether they are true or false.
As matter of fact the Times did show that Law
son refusing to sell current where it hurt Stone
Webster many weeks before he let Thorn go. The
Times exposed him when he refused to sell juice to
Seattle which would have put as high as 100000
year In the Tacoma exchequer.
And the reason Lawson gave to the other commits
sioners when they met behind closed doors to con-
slider the proposition put up by Mr.. Ross of Seattle
70 buy juice from Tacoma was that he did not intend
TO sell current to Seattle to fight Stone-W Webster
with"
He made the same statement with reference to the
application Of the Puyallup city officials after they
waited in vain for weeks for word from him as to
what the city of Tacoma would charge them for
rent And he only came through with an offer to
sell juice to Puyallup after he had been thoroughly
exposed by the Times for his trucking to Stone
Webster
The people of Tacoma care not rap whether A. L.
Thorn is on the city payroll ornot but they certainly
do care whether their 100000 light and power
business is being for their benefit or for Stone
Webster for whom Lawson has worked most of his
life
And the results certainly do not look good for the
city.

chain. The weight of the lum-
Der forces it down. the speed
being governed with a brake,
and, as this descends. a cage on
the opposite side of the cable
ascends to be reloaded The
half-,nile is made in about one
half minute, and since one cage
is loaded while the other is
unloaded, load can be lowered
every five minutes.
Above the cable the canyon
narrows rapidly until it becomes
impossible. Along this narrow
gorge this canyon is probably
the deepest in proportion to it's
width known to man.
On the west of the canyon is
the great mountain which Dali
enbaugh calls the Temple Of the
Virgin" 1t is locally known
as the Steamboat mountain,
since in viewing it from towards
st. George it greatly resembles
an old-time steamboat, it's sharp
wall at the south end looking
very much like the prov of a
vessel.
The biologists tell US that this
country was probably formed
under water. when these great
masses of sandstone were
formed. At a later date it was
raised above the water, and the
rivers during ages cut these
great canyons. At some time a
part of the country has had a
great shaking up. There is a
line of cleavage. known as Hur-
ricane Fault. extending from
the Colorado river northward
toward Utah, and passing
through a portion of the state
goes by Hurricane, Toquerville,
Kanarra, Cedar and Parowan.
On the east of this line of
cleavage the strata of sandstone
are practically in their original
position, while on the west the
country has been tumble d and
twisted into all sort of shapes.
About twelve miles east of st.
George is a place known as
"Purgatory." where the top of
the mountain has dropped
in. leaving the sides standing,
with their perpendicular lodges,

showing where the mountain
used to stand.
The Zion canyon is located on
the east side of this line of
cleavage, and the numerous
layers of SANDSTONE are in their
natural position and are shown
to great advantage by the deep
canyons cut through them.
The small town of Springdale
is at the lower end of the valley.
1t is 45 miles east of St.
George. The state highway
passing through Beaver, Paro-
wan, and Cedar City will, with
in year. be completed as far as
st. George. 1t is already travel
able by automobiles as far as
Toqterville with the exception of
the four miles just north of
Bellevue. Toquerville is % miles
east of st. George and a similar
distance from Springdale, and it
is doubtful if an auto could
travel either of these stretches
without Improvement on the
road. However, Toquervlle can
be reached by any of these three
routes, by way of Lund on the
Salt Lake route; by the state
highway. coming down through
Beaver, or by way of Psnguitch
and then crossing the montains
to Parowan. Ogden Standard.

highly colored and symmetric-
ally carved buttes and pinnacles
of any in the intermountain re-
gion is the opinion of Angus M.
Woodbury., surveyor of forest
homesteads for southern Utah.
Woodbury. has completed three
entray surveys of homesteads
on the Powell forest, comprising
the Aquadius plateau in south
ern Wayne and eastern Garfield
counties; four on the Sewer,
one each side of the Panguitch.
and seven on the Dixie. that
portion in Washington, the
southwesternmost county of
Utah. He is retiring tenn
porarily from the government
service to continue an engineer
ing course at Brigham Young
university, Provo. Having been
born and reared in the Dixie"
country, Woodbury. was induced
to describe his impressions of
the unusual photography of that
region, hitherto little known and
seldom visited by tourists be-
cause Of the difficulty in getting
there.
About so miles east of st.
George, toward the head of the
Virgin river, is the Mukuntu-
weap national monument. This
includes the left fork of the
Virgin river. otherwise known
as Zion creek, and the wonder
full Zion canyon. This canyon
was graphically described by
f. S. Dallenbaugh in Scribner's
for January. 1904. and by Major
Powell in his geological report
of that region.
Zion canyon is from 1000 to
1000 feet deep, with a width of
from a few hundred feet to a
mile, and containing everv va
riety of carving and color. 1t is
probably the most wonderful
canyon of its kind in the world.
in places there are vertical cliffs
hundreds OF feet in height. One
particular cliff is about 2 900 feet
high. From the foot of this cliff
the talu' slopes out to the river
bank with a descent of about 700
feet. making a total height
from the river TO the top of the
ledge between 1900 and 2,700
feet, as actually measured by
triangulation.
From the top of this cliff to
the bank of the river an endless
cable is stretched. This cable
is made of many strands of fine
wire twisted into a wire rope
about three-eighths Of an inch in
diameter and 5000 feet long.
The idea is that the Flanagan
brothers, who started to carry
materials from the top of the
cliff by the use of baling wire;
Bishop Clifford put in the pres
ent substantial cable.
The cable runs around a large
drum made from an old tree
trunk about five feet in diam
eter. and runs on an incline from
the top of the cliff to the river
below, with considerable sag as
it descends. At the lower end
it runs around two smaller
drums. On the plateau above a
saw mill is operated, using tim
Der from the yellow pine for
est found there. The sawed
lumber is hauled to the top of
the cable by wagon. and about
200 board feet is attached to
the cable by means of a small
cage fastened solidly to the wire
