LOOTIlNG MYSTERY
is STILL IJNSOLVED
Little Being Done to Investigate
State Industrial Insurance
Commission Steal

Seattle-The footing of the state
industrial insurance commission, per-
haps the most complete and clever
crime, or series of crimes, ever per-
petrated in state office, remains an
unsolved mystery, and what is more,
there is apparently no official effort
being made to solve it. Statements
from Governor Lister and the men,
bers of the commission all seek to
minimize the loss, although it is evil
dent that the officials do not even
konw what the possible total Of theft
may be, and apparently have no way
Of finding out. One subordinate off.
Ger of the commission has lost his
job, but no charges have been pre-
ferred against him, and while the
commissioners and the governor hold
occasional conferences on the subject,
the state is as far from convicting the
guilty, or securing restoration of any
part of the fund, as on the day the
looting was discovered. .s.Aa
Unless the officials are able to dis
cover who was responsible for the
losses, the road contractors and other
contributors to the industrial insur-
ance funds will stand the loss, as the
state assumes no responsibility for
such losses. This makes it doubly
imperative that the governor or his
commissioners take some interest in
detecting the criminals. If they are
persons within the department, their
bondsmen would be obliged to make
good the thefts. The looting and SUBJ
sequent scandal, in which members
of the commission were charged with
money from employees, and
in oil and mining stock spec
has served to point out the
very loose way in which this fund,
to nearly four millions a
year, has been handled, the commits
sioners, three in number, being con-
tent to sign away these millions in
warrants upon the report of subordi-
mates, with no personal attention to
the claims.

POWELL GIVES FORMULAS
FOR HOME CURING MEATS
Horticultural Inspector Suggests Re-
cipes in Response to Num-
er0us Inquiries

A number Of inquiries have been
coming into this office for good for
mulas to be used in curing fresh
meats, and the following are recon.
mended:
Mr.. Geo. E. Daley and Mr.. AL.
Hicks, of Prosser, have used the fol-
lowing, which is an old Virginia for
mula and they say that if it is pro-
perly made, it cannot be excelled for
curing meats.
"On the morning the hogs are killed
make the following brine solution
for each cwt. of meat: 5 gallons Of
soft water, rain water preferred, Tx
pounds of salt; two ounces of baking
soda; 21k pounds of brown sugar; /
quart of molasses (use good molasses
not adulterated). This fluid should
be boiled and SKINNED in the morn
ing and left to cool in shady place.
When cool, add IL ounces Of saltpe-
tire. Dissolve the saltpetre in warm
water and stir thoroughly. The fol-
lowing morning, cut up the hogs as
usual and pack in barrels. Put the
sides of the meat in the bottom and
the shoulders next and the hams on
top, all with the skin side down.
Weight the meat down well and pour
the brine has not evaporated so as to
covered. Cover the top of the bar
rel well with a good thick covering
that will prevent evaporation. Look
at the meat often enough to see that
the brine has not evaporated so as to
leave the meat exposed. If it should
be exposed more brine should be adj
ded. The meat can be left in the brine
indefinitely, but if it is desired to
smoke the meat, it should be taken
out in about six weeks.
For dry salt curing of meat, Mr..
Roscoe Shelter, of Sunnyside, has u.s.
ed the following formula for number
of years and recommends it very high
ly. For 500 pounds of meat use the
following amounts: 2 gallon Of salt:
one pound Of brown sugar, 1k pounds
of black pepper, one-half pound of
saltpetre. Allow the meat to thor
oughly cool. Rub in thoroughly the
first and third days and once week
for three or four weeks, depending
on the size of the cuts of meat. Rinse
this off and then smoke for about
three days. Peach or apple wood is
recommended as the best fire-wood
that can be found.
We also have a number Of formu-
las for making salt pork, picked pigs
feet, headcheese, corned beef, dried
beef, etc. Copies of these can be had
by applying to this Office, either by
call, phone or mail.

TRAIL BLAZER COVERS
OVER 5000 MILES
Warwick will Return East to

Rock, Mass, to Seattle, in the course
Of which undertaking he travelled 49,
DIG miles, w. Warwick will leave Sc
attic this week for the East to pre-

the same line of work. He marked
the route by means of yellow bands
on telephone and telegraph poles, and
his work for the 1916 season will con-
sist of placing stones or cement tab
lets at the various crossroads and
forks. Many of the tablets already
have been donated by wealthy per-
sons and residents along the cross
country highway, and Mr.. Warwick is
erecting them at the desired points.
Warwick will leave Seattle this
week in his Metz roadster, in which
he piled up SO much mileage this sea-
son. He will drive straight across the
continent to Massachusetts,, in which
locality he will work until weather
conditions in the spring are sufficient
ly settled to permit of quick work.
The Yellow Trail marked by War

MONEY SPENT ON
ROADS LAST YEAR
Nearly Quarter Billion Dollars
for Construction and Main
tenance of Highways

Nearly quarter of billion dollars
that is, $3.50, 1000, OO0-was spent in
this country last year in highway con-
struction and maintenance. These fig
ures were collected at the Public Road
and Rural Engineering office in Wash
ington. Ten per cent of the roads in
this country are now hard-surfaced
This means 247,49O miles of hard
surfaced road in total Of 200, 273, 900.
Other facts brought out by the report
are these: -. ..-.-- =.
"One-fifth of the work was done
under the State-aid system, the var
ious State Highway Departments pay
ing $24,22O,0O0, and the counties and
townships $25, $4,000 State-aid laws
are in effect in forty-four states, New
Jersey having instituted the system
in 1891 and Tennessee and Georgia
being among the last to adopt it in
1915.
Thirteen states spent $25, 900
during the year in the construction
and maintenance of state-roads solely
at their own expense, making a total
of almost $5O,OOO,OOO paid directly
out of state funds. One-third as
much ($12,5OO,OO) was spent for re-
pairs and maintenance as was spent
for new construction ($35, 500, 000).
This shows the enormous loss result
ing from the building of types of
roads whose surfaces are not durable
under present traffic conditions. Six
Eastern states paid two-thirds as
much out of the state treasury for
alone as for new con-
as follows, respectively:
Rhode Island, $146, 800, SIS, 400; New
Jersey, $2,145, 900, $1,329, 900; Penn
sylvania, s1,6s9, 900, $2,7O0,OOo; New
York, $s,62s, 900, $12,s56O, 900; Massa-
chusetts, $500, 900, 81, 100000; Connec-
ticut, 1925, 900, 1851, 900; total, $14,-
1886, 300, $21,110,400.

Useful Rice.

10 ICE is one of the most nutritious
Nv desserts and can be offered in a va
rety of combinations, in addition to
the more commonly known pudding. To
boil the rice and secure large separate
grains, use the following direction: Wash
a cup:ul OF rice in several waters, and
in the meantime have not less than
quart Of water boiling brskly on the
stove. Sprinkle the rice in SO slowly that
it will not stop the boiling. and, without
covering the pot. boil rapidly for thirty
minutes. Turn the rice into a colander
Garry the colander on plate to the
oven door and toss the rice Lightly with
fork while the heat passes through 1t,
being careful not to break the grains.
If the rice is to be served in mods, bet
ter results will be secured by cooking
one cupful of rice in d double boiler with
a quart of sweet milk and dash of salt.
This will require an hour more and the
rice. when finished, should look like a
thick blanc mango. the kernels having
lost their shape entirely.
To make a nutritious and tasteful
dessert from rice cooked in this fash
mold which has been dipped into cold
water. When chilled. turn the rice on a
plate, fill the hollow with fresh ruit,
thickly powdered with pulverized sugar,
and let the fruit rise above the rice mold
in pyramid form. Serve with whipped
cream. The hollow may also be filled
with simple boiled custard. rather stiff
and covered with merngue baked to
delicate golden brown.

THE TOWEL SUPPLY.

The spring is a good time for house
hold replenishment of all sorts, and
just now the shops offer very interest
ing suggestions to the housekeeper
who is in need of a new or enlarged
supply of towels.
There are some expensive towels
made of blue and white. yellow and
white. rose and white or violet and
white, the colored thread mercerized,
the white thread, which forms the
rough part of the weave, the usual
Turkish towel thread. The colored
mercerized threads are woven to form
the end borders, and these towels are
especially suitable in a bathroom with
where the color scheme of the adjoin-
ing bedroom is carried out.
In one of the convent schools where
the pupils are versed in all the in
tricacies of needlework, a figured buck
aback towel with the scailop as part
of the figure is used. That is to say,
the scallop is outlined in a mercerized
thread which shows distinctly against
the background of the towel. So the
ends can be embroidered In an even
scallop without being stamped. simply
by following the outline of the scal1op
in the pattern.
New bath mats are made in an in
creasingly great number OF patterns.
Perhaps none is daintier than the
, white mat with colored border. But
there are oriental rug designs in these
new bath mats. worked out in good
rug colors. There are also many mats
that would delight the heart of child.
with landscapes and houses woven in
their colored pattern.
