Last night after we got the paper out of the way, the Miner Man went out on still hunt to find out just what were the actual conditions with regard to the securing of hemlock lumber for the Charcoal Point road. The first man we came across was Jack Mckay of the firm of Sawyer X Mckay, the loggers. He says his company is prepared to put half a million feet of first-class hemlock logs into the water within thirty days or two hundred thousand feet in twenty days.
 The next place we called on was the office of the Ketchikan Power Company, where we found MT. Daly the manager. We told him what in formation we were in search of, and he said that his company had hand loggers out logging who could get Il quarter of million feet of hemlock into the water within twenty days The next question was how much hemlock lumber, taking into consider ation existing contracts, could the local mill cut every day beginning August lst, until the required amount of four hundred thousand feet had been cut His answer was that the mill could cut and deliver twenty thousand feet of such lumber every Jay, and at the same time take care of their other business. In other words there is nothing to prevent the local mill having one-half the necessary amount of lumber ready for use on the day, August 15, that Mir. Austin has fixed as the probable time for construction operations to begin on the Charcoal Point Road, and the balance will be available long before needed.
 Yesterday this paper undertook to show that hemlock lumber was super for to fir for the building of this road, and did so. The question re- mained open as to whether the local plants could produce the necessary stock. They can, so what's to stop them doing the work.
 Last February MT. Austin at q meeting of the Commercial Club wa, properly enthusiastic in demanding that the Town Council start the con struction of the Towns end of the Charcoal Point road so as to give employment to people in this locality and now apparently has completely changed his attitude, and would send the money which the loggers of this region have paid to the Forest Serv- ice to the Sound to strengthen their competitors there.
 The Miner has always stood for ptaronizing local institutions, and takes that stand now The money for the lumber should be spent here and not below.

Stewing Is n method Of food prepara-

fully the heat must be absolutely un.
der the cooks control. The up.to.date
cook, therefore. prefers gas for stew
ing purposes on account OF the perfect
control that can be exercised over the
temperature.
For successful stewing, meat should
be divided into small portions for the
easy extraction of the juices. Where
bones exist, these should be broken
into small pieces. and form an under
layer in the stewing vessel. The meat
aud bones ought always to be placed
In cold water and the water should
cover everything in the pan or jar.
The lid or cover should be carefully
secured, and the temperature must be
gradually raised to a steady heat.
