First News of Trouble.

The dispatch from Shepherd is
the first word of any serious fric-
ton between the duma and pro-
visional government and the SOL
diers and workmen. Various
small internal differences have
been reported heretofore, but all
relative to administrative acts
rather than to government policy.
On the other hand, the provi-
sional government has heretofore
bowed submissively to the de-
mands of the soldiers and work
men.
1t has long been known that
Germany is bending every re-
source and using every artifice to
stir up trouble among the many
diverse elements whose temporary
union in force achieved the over
throw of autocracy.

CANNING A. SIMPLE PROCESS

Canning is quite a simple process
when the reasons for the digerent
steps are known. In the cold-pacl:
method, the vegetables OF fruit are
first dipped into boiling water, (the
time varies for different fruit and
vegetables) and then dropped into
cold water. This is called blanching,
it removes Objectionable acids and
acrid f~lavors; t has an effect on the
bacteria so that a single st~erilizing
only is needed; it sets the color; it
loosens the skin and makes the pulp
more firm. Then put into cans and
then boil the required time. The Gov
ers should be placed on loosely during
the boiling so as to prevent the jars
bursting. When boiled, tighten the
covers. The boys and girls can can
by this system as we'll as grown-ups.
The point being to kill the bacteria
and to seal the cans tight SO that no
more bacteria can enter.

Titanic Alpine Scenery.
The reservation contains G.2D0, .;uare
miles. Its northern slopes. which
overlook the Tanana watershed with
it's gold mining industry, are broad
valleys inhabited by numeruos herds
of caribou. Its southern plateau is a
perpetual winter wilderness through
which glaciers OF great length and en-

the south. In this national park,
which the railroad new building by
the government into the Alaskan in

MOTOR CARS NEEDED
TO CARRY Troopers
RAPID TINE MADE WHERE AU-

When it comes to matters military,
little Vasalia, CAL, is not only patrio-
tic but strictly modern. A short time
ago the recruiting officers in that town
were Informed that a machine gun
company was needed in a hurry by the
Second California Infantry.

duced the men in "a hours and then

own Dodge Brothers motor cars, Of
fered to set the new recruits at the
Preside at San Francisco in record
time.
This was the first attempt at NOV
ing troops long distance by motor in
the San Joaquin Valley and it was
watched with much interest by mill
tary men
The 230-mile run was made in s
and one-half hours, with an average
speed Of 81 miles per hour. The first
half of the trip was completed with a
35-mile average, but rain and SLIPPERY
roads cut the average to 81 before the
ferry at Oakland was reached.
While the number of men moved in
this particular instance vas small, the
run demonstrated that the number of
troops it would be possible to rush to
a given point would depend wholly on
the number of motor cars available.
The only delay reported on the en-
tire trip was occasioned by five pune
lures. The performance Of the Dodge
Brothers ears aroused high praise
from the officers who accompanied the
recruits on the trip. Z

John Franklin walked over fifty miles
from a farm near Wilburton, to this
city to apply for enlistment in The U.

Franklin had spent two months
blowing the fields previous to his long
walk, and supported himself on the
hike by working at odd jobs along the
way. He surprised the Marine Corps
medical examiner by walking without
the slightest sign Of lameness.
Although Franklin expressed the
opinion that his cork leg should be
considered a handy life-preserver in
case of submarine attack, he was not
accepted.
