 Discovered By Fremont
 The discovery of this great part Of the Northwest is due to John c. Ere mont, popularly known as 'the path finder" and occurred during his expe- dition of 1S43-44. He was accom- panied by a number of Indians and .Frerchmen, and named the Lake Bom- pand in honor of a French botanist who had become a great traveller in America. But finally the lake became Tahoe after many vicissitudes, and while many of the Fremont names stuck the whole of that part of the country became known as the Tahoe country.
 Big Water of the Washoe Indians was at one time the name of the lake, at another Big Spirit, and at still an other Big Water. At last the peace. able Indians called it High Water 1 CTahoe), pronouncing it as if 1t were one syllable Tao" like a Chinese

were recently given a trial of their food value, and were found to be just as good as the day they were put up. After nearly a score of years these vegetables were in perfect condition, and available for present-day use.
 "A recent visitor to my home was pr. Charles L. LindIey, of Lakewood, N. J., who served as a surgeon during Lord Roberts campaign. His exper- fence with dried vegetables Tn South Africa confirms every claim that can be made for them as soldiers 1ation. Dr. Lindley told me that he used to eat the Canadian dried products dur ing the Boer campaign, and that they were delicious, just as tasty and nutrl- tious as fresh vegetables, and of great value in supplying subsistence for the British forces. pr. Lindley hlmseIr was born in South Africa. His parent age Is British and American, so that he has a dual interest in the present war.

 MT Hammond is a member of the National War Garden Commission of Washington, which is urging the 5,OOO,00O home Soldiers of the soil'' in the United States this season to save all the surplus from their back yard and stacker lot plots. Under the slogan, Back Up the Cannon by Use of the Gamer" it has made a nation wide appeal to the war gardeners to conserve their beans and beets and other "pantry-shelf reserves"
 "The value of dried foods" said MT. Hammond in discussing the subject further, lis shown by the fact that a lot of dried vegetables which had been prepared for the British troops in South Africa during the Boer War l and since that time held in storage

exquisite taste in basket making the world has ever known, and no collec- ton of baskets is complete without specimen of her skill, which brings from $100 up.

so much in saving of cargo space, and in the hauling of supplies, both as to bulk and as to weight. The subsist- ence division of the Army Quartermas- ter's Department already has pur- chased several thousand tons of de- hydrated products for use in France; and has made plans involving the ship ment of possibly twenty million pounds for the American troops over seas.
 Bulk is reduced to one-third or less of the original size and weight to cne-sixth or less by this process. In their natural state one hundred bushels of potatoes weigh 5000 1 pounds. Properly dried this is re- duced to something like 500 pounds, with proportionate shrinkage in vol n-->, and without loss of food value or palatability. Think what that means in these days when cargo space is taxed to it's maximum. When it Is considered that this increases the space available for the shipment of shells, explosives and other military supplies, it requires no strength of the
 ina gination to realize that dried vege-
 tables have become in a real sense munitions of war. and that the dehy.

drating outfit has become a munition plant in the same sense as the war vegetable garden. In our war gardens we have been growing munitions at home. In our differs we are preparing them for future use.
 Immense Saving In Freight
 "One of the strong arguments which the National War Garden Commission has always advanced in favor of war gardens and the production of as much food as possible close to the place of consumption is that it is a great saving in transportation, and that thousands of freight cars are thus released for other war work. And this applies with equal, if not greater, force to dried products. This is seen in the fact that one freight car or one yes sel will do the work of three or four in handling dried vegetables as com pared with fresh ones; and as far as weight is concerned one vessel will do the work of six or more. That is why the Commission is making its nation wide appeal and campaign in favor of drying as much as possible of the sur
 
 plus product from the 5,OoO,O0O war gardens which have been planted in the United States this year.
 Scientists have pointed the way, and by their careful research have discovered methods by which potatoes and other vegetables can be dried so , that they will retain all their original flavor and food value over long periods of time, and under all conditions of weather and temperature. In going into the work on a commercial scale, and in preparing such food for large bodies of people as an army, where some of the product may not be con- sumed for many months, and where il is likely to undergo many changes of temperature in being transported from place to place, it is necessary to ob- serve scientific accuracy in preparing lthe product.

name the "a" having broad sound
 "ah" The Indians are the original
 residents of this beautiful country, and are known as the Washoes. While in the early days they rose in protest against the settlement of the whites on their land, and few lives were | lost, they are now a peaceable and in- offensive tribe, containing some of the best basket makers in the world. In appearance they are heavy and fat. They are not attractive, except in their
 work. White mans and Mhite wo-
 mans clothes have taken the place of those used in their early days. They still paint and tattoo themselves, and i live in dwellings of the rudest charac- ter. Like all Indians, fish. game and corn, go to make up their food, and 1 they are fond of gambling. They be- i lieve in the medicine man, and little
 of their religious belief is known.

to fishermen as the "prettiest, gamest, sweetest and choicest fish," are to be found in abundance. The United States Government maintains fishery at the head of the lake, and it is always well stocked.
 There is also good hunting, as some bears are found, but to the writer the most interesting animals are the hun dreds of tiny brown chir Gunks which play about the tavern and climb on the shoulders of the guests begging for something to eat. Of course, nuts are their favorite food, and they will sit at ones feet and clean a nutshell perfectly bare. They will even play around the windows, and one is ire quently startled by two tiny bright eyes peeping through the vines into the room.
 Coloring and Flowers
 As the snow retires from the slopes the flowers come out at the call of the sun, and the mountains and shores of the lake become one vast flower gar den. The snow plant, unfortunately, named for it is a brilliant red. comes first and resembles a huge red hyacinth in style. At present one is | forbidden by the Government to pluck | it, because it was becoming so scarce, consequently it comes forth each year to delight the lover of flowers. The white heather, the blue gentians, the quaint lily, wild marigolds and Indian paint brush are to be found every where. One could easily write a book on botany about the flowers of the Tahoe region.
 Yet it is the lake, with it's ma gnifi- cent coloring and its gloriously wooded and glacier-covered shores, which is the real charm to most travellers. Steamers ply it's surface daily. Their decks are crowded with people who love nature in it's widest beauty. The coloring of the lake is uneXcelled by any in the world. Lake Tahoe, ac- cording to the geologists, was thrust high up after a long and continued erosion of the Sierra Nevada range The sunken area formed Lake Tahoe which is so deep that although the winters are very severe in this region it never freezes over. Along its shore many glacier-covered mountains spread out their peaks.

owned by wealthy Californians, dot its banks, and pleasure boats are all about. The coloring of the lake is feature ever present, and in some places resembles a mosaic floor. This is a favorite place for campers. At other points it resembles huge emer- aid, while at others it becomes a gigantic turquoise. Emerald Bay, at the southwest corner of the lake, is regarded by many as the choicest DOT ton of the country, first, because of it's great beauty, and, second, because it is practically free from insect and snake life. Mountain trails are fine, and the summer weather perfect.
 For countless centuries the Indians, both west and east of Tahoe, used to congregate in the land about Rubicon Springs in the Tahoe country to drink the medicinal waters and gather a certain kind of pine which they used for medicine, and even today, al- though it has become a white mans camping ground, many still come to drink the waters, and incidentally to sell their baskets.
 The birds of Lake Tahoe are not particularly interesting, yet there are a number of sea gu1ls to be found. They rarely raise their young here. The blue heron often appears, and makes the lake look like Japanese land scape. Kingfshers are plentiful, and duck, such as mallards and teals, are seen in abundance. Flocks of white pelicans often make their appearance, to the delight of the visitors.
 More might be said of this glorious country of the far West-another tri- bute to that great American explorer, Inhn c. Fremont.

A Brief Account of What John Hays Hammond
 Thinks of Food Drying

their knowledge of the latter subject, as compared with present-day devel- opment, was about as primitive as the threc-banked ga!leys of the Roman Navy when placed alongside a modern steel-clad fighting vessel.
 Used in Boer War
 It was during the Boer War that dried foods were used for the first time to any extent in the provisioning of an army. Large quantities of these goods were shipped from Canada to South Africa at that time by the 1 British War Office, and the experiment proved a complete success. Accord ! ing to MT. Hammond, who is probably about as familiar as any man now liv- ing with conditions in South Africa in Boer War days. the men did not know the difference between the dried vegetables which they were eating and the food they were accustomed to, and they thrived exceedingly we'll on 1t.
 The successful results obtained with this class of dried food in Lord Roberts South Africa campaign" said I MT. Hammond in discussing the sub. ject, was strong factor, no doubt

NN TOP of the glorious Sierras @ "A just over the Navada line in the great State of California, lies " Lake Tahoe, nestled among the hills of perpetual beauty, and giving joy and pleasure to all who are so blessed as to gaze upon it's magnificent situation. Its quiet grandeur has at- tracted for many years the traveller in California who revels in the variety of scenery with which nature has so bounteously endowed that State.
 Here in the Tahoe country one may enjoy the almost unrivaled beauty of the lofty peaks, the pure air of the high mountains and sports-boating and fishing and hunting-in every form. Then again, If one seeks rest there are perhaps few places in this or any other country so restful and so likely to bring contentment as the big rustic inns on the edge of this body of water whose altitude exceeds that of any lake of its size in the world, for it covers about 190 square miles, and its watershed is nearly 500 square miles. The altitude of the lake is 6,225 feet.
 It is not the lake alone which is the charm of the country, for only a few miles away we may fiud nature in its primitive state untouched by the hand of man, and then in a short distance

and after weaving fine baskets their hands must be bandaged for days. The sight of Dat-so-la-le at work and a view of her beautiful baskets is one of the attractions of the Tahoe coun- try The legends of this race are full of interest, but it would require book to tell them.
 Tahoe Howitzer
 The Tahoe country has had a min ing eXcitem ent, with all the shootings and robberies which accompany these things, when Tahoe City was founded. At present it is about half a mile from the principal resort on the lake, and consists of a general country store, a few scraggy houses and a small gun known as the Fremont Howitzer-a small gun brought out by Fremont, much against the wishes of the paci- fists of those days. He equipped for this expedition on the Kansas frontier, and among other things he secured a brass twelve-pound Howitzer from the | United States arsenal at St. Louis. As soon as the news reached Washington the Secretary of War, James Porter, sent a message after Fremont coun- | termanding the order for the expedi- | ton on account of the journey being of a pacific nature. Fremont had already started, and the message fell into the hands of the famous Jessie Benton Fremont, who suppressed it. Fremont went on, and the chances are that the little gun so frightened the natives that it saved that part of the country for us, and without bloodshed

ton no such elaborate processes must be followed. As practiced in the household, vegetable and fruit drying Is largely a matter of following with care the rules prescribed in the books of instruction issued by recognized au- thorities. The little manual prepared by the National War Garden Commits sion, of which hundreds of thousands have been sent to all parts of the coun- try, to clubs and other organizations, libraries, schools and individuals, gives full details as to the drying of vege- tables and fruits. Many manufactur- ing plants and business concerns which have encouraged and helped their em- ployees this year to plant war gardens have furnished them with copies of the canning and drying booklet pre- pared by the Commission. While they are helping their workers in this way these manufacturers are also helping themselves and their country. The more food there is raised in war gar dens the greater will be the reserve force we will have to use in beating the Boche; and the more there is SlOISu away O41 l1lS pdIlt1 GllC1N SS tAAS greater will be not only our reserve force of food, but also the amount of other war supplies on hand for 1t will mean that we can ship just that much more to back up the boys when they go over the top."
 Thousands of war gardens through out the United States last year dried some of their surplus product, in addi- ton to canning vast quantities, and the results were highly satisfactory Everybody recalls with a smack of the lips how delicious were those pies which grandmother used to make from dried apples. She used to dry pears, peaches and other fruits also. But practically any of the vegetables that grow in a garden can be dried and kept for the winter months, and when they are refreshed with water and cooked they will be just as palat- able, just as full of meat and flavor as if they had been gathered that morning.
 Potato King
 Here is what Lou D. Sweet. presi- dent of the Potato Association of America, and known as the Potato King" says on the subject of dried vegetables: "Dehydration has come to stay in this country, and while it may still be regarded in the experi- mental stage, those who are most familiar with the problems oS food production and conservation are firm in the opinion that we are seeing only the beginning of what is sure to eX- pand into an enormous and most~im- portant industry"
 In his communication to Charles Lathrop Pack, president of the Ma tional War Garden Commission, MT. Sweet, who is head of the dehydration section of the United States Food Ad- ministra ton. adds: Every encour- agement, therefore, should be given to home drying, in order that the people may become familiar with the excel 1ence of the products which may be prepared by this method; and to save the vast quantities of excellent food which now go to waste for lack of ade- EQuate methods of conssrEAttsrA"
