Event Is Neglected.

Although for years prominent citi-
to their state as the place where the
first moves were made towards civili-
cation in the intcrmountain states, lit
tie effort has been made to preserve
the relics Of the old fort or to COM
memorate the events that made the
place memorable.
Obscurity of the location is largely
the cause for the neglect. For the
original fort was abandoned and a new
one established and then moved again
until now the railway station known
as Fort Hall is the fifth location
known by that name. The original
site is now included in the Fort Hall
Indian reservation and is in an out of
the way place. 1t is also merely a site,
the old fort being marked only by the
trenches and embankments thrown up
by the pioneer explorers.
British Take Possession.
The fort passed into the hands of the
British two years after it was estab-
lished and remained under British con-
troll until the northwest boundary was
established. During the interval, how
ever, it was "a place of refuge and the
only one for several hundred miles i'm
any direction, where the traveller was
sure to find friends and supplies.
The old fort was abandoned as
military post during the war between
the states and a new fort of the same
name was established on Lincoln
Creek, about % miles east Of the old
site. Also, shortly alter this, u few
early ranchers who had settled near
Snake River. took possession of the
abandoned buildings and moved them
to the bottom land a few miles away,
where some are still standing.
The new fort on Lincoln Creek soon
ceased to he a military post and was
given over as a school for the children
of Indians living on the reservation.
Headquarters for the agency of the
reservation were at Ross Fork. and
ten years ago a new training school
was built in the neighborhood of the
agency and the old school transferred
to the new location.

Arend Van Vlissingen is one of the
members of the Cook County Real
Estate Board who is against sub
ways of any kind He was one of
committee of three appointed, by that
board who worked four months in
getting ready a report on subways.

in Chicago on subways and they talk
ed with Mayor Harrison and Harri-
sons subway engineer, John Erick-
son. They sat down with Bion ].
Arnold and all the other experts and
squeezed all the subway knowledge
they could out of everybody who was
supposed to know anything about it.
I'VE went into the subject ex-
haustively," said Van Vlissingen to a
reporter for The Day Book, "and my
opinion and that of other members is
the same now as then. Our commit
tee decided that subways are an in
jury to a community located as Chi
cago is. Our report was unanimous

at the meeting of the Cook County
Real Estate Board.

Importance as factor in city well
fare was emphasized in our report.
To condemn millions of people to
pass an hour or more each day in
cars that run underground is a course
that should be taken only when alb
solutely necessary and we could not
see where an absolute necessity ex-
lists for such course at this time.
Chicago has room enough to haul
overground. believe the problem
is one that can be solved from this
viewpoint Let us take the position
that subways are an injury, that new
transportation lines must be built
above ground, and a solution can be
found.

TO MAKE WITH CHOCOLATE
Most Approved Recipes for the Prep
aratlon of Cookies or
Layer Cake.

For cookies mix one small cup Of
butter, two cups of sugar, four eggs,
n cup grated chocolate. three cups
of -four, one teaspoon vanilla. Roll
very thin and bake in quick oven If
the chocolate is melted, it will mix
better with the batter.
For a layer cake, try the old-fash-
toned Devils Food, which somehow
always pleases children. The recipe
is t~hree-fourths of a cup of chocolate,
one cup of brown sugar and one-half
cup of sweet milk. Set this back on
the stove to dissolve. In the mixing
bowl, stir one cup Of brown sugar,
one-half cup of butter, three yolks and
one white of egg, 2A cups of -four,
n teaspoon of soda, one teaspoon OF
vanilla and one-half cup Of sweet
milk. Add the dissolved mixture from
the stove, and pour into three small
jelly tins. When cold, frost with
white icing.

MOST POPULAR OF PICKLES
Dill Flavor Has q Hold on People
That No Other Variety Seems
to Possess

The dill is most familiar to us in
connection with dill pickles, and per-
maps some Of us use the name with
out knowing hat 1t belongs to a plant,
the seeds and tiny thread-like leaves
Of which are used for Havoring. Ger
man and Italian cooks make most OF
1t, chiefly in preserves and pickles.
The flavor suggests a combination OF
fennel and mint. In appearance the
dill plant Ia something like the tall
Wild parsnip. Though originally a ma
tive OF southern Europe, It grows cas-
lily In gardens In a colder climate II
given a warm situation and well
drained soil.
For dill pickles the cucumbers,
one quart of small-sized ones, should
be used as soon as they are picked.
Scrub them, without breaking the
skin, and lay in cold water in which
a quarter OF a cupful of table salt has
been dissolved, using enough water
to cover the cucumbers. Let this
stand over night, pour off the water,
fresh water and drain, then pack
the cucumbers with two or three pep
pers, a tablespoonful of mixed spice
and some branches of dill, in a quart
fruit jar. Dissolve a quarter Of a
cupful or more of sugar in enough
scalding hot vinegar to fill the jar to
~oVerhowing; adjust the rubber ring
and fasten the cover down securely.
After the jar is opened If the vine
gar scums over, pour 1t off and re
place it with a second supply of scald
Ing hot vinegar and sugar. The
pickles should then keep in good con.
dition though opened daily,
The sugar may be omitted In max.
ing these pickles If they are pre-
ferred sour.

Gated members of the colored race
who are struggling to uplift their peo-
pie, was the sentiment expressed by
Henry Lincoln Johnson, the retiring
recorder of deeds, before a large
audience Of members of the Christian
Endeavor Societies of southwest
Washington, at st. Paul's A. M. E,
church.
For myself" said Johnson, Il
would not care to live In any com
pleted community where there were
no unfortunate ones to help, no evil
to combat, no suffering or distress to
relieve, no lowly ones to lift up, no
inspiration for service-in short, no
real work to be done.
The Christian Endeavor," he said,
in referring to the work of the So
~cieties, deserves to be commended
for the good work 1t has accomplished
for racial and human uplift, and espe-
cially will it find among the 100, 00C

growing tree and has the fault OF
growing crooked, with short trunks
and over much top.
The tree that gives the best results
with little care after planting is the
black locust. 1t does well on any
soil, wet or dry. 1t is a quick grower
and when planted thick, say six feet
each way, the trees will grow tall
with but little top, and will, at the
end of five years, be ready for the
first thinning out.
At this time all stunted trees should
be worked up, and from this time on,
ground thus planted will furnish ma
terial for posts as each year ore
thinning must be done.
In 10 years the trees will be large
enough to make four posts to the cut
and nan of them will make three

posts in the top.
The black locust Is also a fine tree
for planting about the house and barn.
When planted in the open 1t forms a

Bros, who built the Confederate
cruiser Alabama. 1t was used as a
lightship for 81 years, and then. in

vessel. So successful was the wrought
iron hull in resisting the corrosive ac-
