RESTAURANT MAN IS
ROBBED OF MONEY, GUN

Charlie Chinn, proprietor of the
Portland restaurant on Main street,
lost $3.50 in cold cash and good
revolver when a sneak thief entered
Mr.. Chinn's sleeping apartment at
the rear Of the restaurant between
$3.50 and Q o'clock last Friday even
ing The money, which consisted of
1920 in currency and $40 in silver,
according to Mr. Chinn, was under
the pillow on his bed, along with his
watch and the gun. The thief gain
ed entrance to the building by fore
ing a window which had been nailed
down. He did not take the watch.
Mr.. Chinn was in the kitchen at
the back of the restaurant cooking
while the robbery was being com
mitted. He is of the opinion that
the robber was very familiar with
conditions about the premises. Mr..
Chinn had just laid in a big supply of
foodstuffs and had the money on hand
to make payment for the same.
Sheriff McDuffee was notified at
once and is working on the case.

Heppner has been hit by the coal
strike. During the past week the
Heppner Light & Water Company
has been forced to shut down between
the hours of 1880 a. N. and 4 p. Ia.
The company has an order in for
several hundred tons Of coal, but for
some reason or another, shipments
have been delayed this year longer
than usual. Coal which should have
reached here in the summer is on the
way now. Due to the fact that the
fuel is vitally needed by the local
public utility, it will not be confs-

Of good quality can be made by sprout-
ing barley under proper conditions. II
preparing malt from barley the fol
lowing method will give satisfactory
results: The grain should be soaked
In water for twelve hours. The water
is then drained off and the grain
allowed to stand for twelve hours, and
the operation OF soaking and standing
repeated during the next twenty-four
hours. At the conclusion of the steep
ing the interior of the grain should be
soft and chalklike. The grain Is then
spread upon a tray in a layer not
more than six or eight inches deep.
The temperature at which the sprout-
ing grain is kept Is of great impor-
lance in the successful manufacture of
malt. II should be kept as near go de-
grees Fahrenheit as possible. After
six or eight days the sprout forces its
way out at the end Of the grain oppo-
site to the rootlet, and the malt may
be used with excellent results at this
time.
Sprouting. however. may be allowed
to continue slowly for another six or
eight days or even longer, until the
sprout has attained a length from
three to four times that of the grain.
The grain must be kept moist, so that
the rootlets do not wither during the
sprouting period, aId should be turned

smooth. mushy liquid. The tempera-
ture of the mixture is brought to lao
degrees Fahrenheit and a quantity OF
ground malt added equal 90 3h per
cent. OF the weight of the original
sweet potatoes. The mixture is thor
oushly stirred and allowed to stand
for a few minutes at a temperature of
I40 degrees Fahrenheit, and the tenn
perature is then brought with constant
stirring to Temperature of $50 degrees
Fahrenheit. the heat turned off and
the mass allowed TO stand, with occa-
sional stirring for an hour. THE mix
'ure, known technically as the mash,
is now placed in cloth bags. which are
closed. and the bags subjected to a
gentle kneading. The Juice flows out
readily. leaving the pulp behind. The
Juice is. now boiled down to syrup in
an ordinary kettle.
Any Of the common varieties of sweet
potato can be used. Freshly har-
vested stock will yield a syrup some
What less sweet than sweet potatoes
which have been harvested for some
time.
Great care must be taken that the
temperature Of the mass be uniform
throughout during the action Of the

over and thoroughly mixed at least
once n day and kept covered with a
wet cloth and in the dark. The prod
uct should be free from any sour
smell and from mould.
Immediately before use the green
malt should be finely ground in an
ordinary meat chopper or other suit
able machine. When so ground II
forms pasty mass and may be added
directly to the boiled mashed sweet
potatoes and the mixture thoroughly
broken up by stirring until the malt
is thoroughly disseminated.
On a small scale this is most readily
accomplished as described. On large
scale an ordinary cider press. using
racks and cloths, can be successfully
employed. The liquor obtained is
slightly sweet and rather turbid.
Plenty of water should be used in order
to produce a mash from which the
the liquor will flow freely and in which
large proportion of the sugar may
be easily~removed by aAingle pressing
The total quantity OF water used
should be two or three times the
weight OF the potatoes.
The sweet potato syrup can be boiled
down to as thick a consistence as de-
sired, The pulp which remains can be
dried and used for feed, or it can lie
fed while fresh.

DRIED MEAT AND BOTTLE FULL Of WATER EXTRACTED

&C.. were siccessively tried, but none
OF these was found effective and prac-
teal enough to warrant Endorsement.
Finally all efforts were concentrated
upon evolving drying process which
would insure the meats retaining the
virtues and flavor Of the fresh prod
uct, needing only to be soaked In water
for a time to return them to their
primary condition and thus make them
ready for cooking. That this had not
been achieved in practice before Is
significant OF the nature of the prob
lem set for solution. True it had been
tried but the results did not come up
TO the standard set by the experts Of
the Hartman research laboratory.
There was invariably something about
the desiccated meats that did not
please the palate. One did not have
to be a gourmet to realize that an IN
welcome change had been effected.
The studies at the Hartman labora-
tory were conducted by DR.. X. George
Falk and DR.. f. NJ. FrankeI, and these
men perfected the technical details OF
the process as finally evolved. They
proved that it was possible to dry
meats so that they were chemically
unchanged by desiccation. That Is to
say that the drying would not coagu-
late the protein or render the fats
rancid.
