Aggressive, but with fearless hon

Mclaughlin and Old Oregon"
Doubleday, Page & Coz is the
story of our northwest when it was
as remote as Siberia. John Jacob
Aston had come and gone and the
Hudson Bay company was supreme.
No white woman had yet crossed
the continent and little account was
taken of the Americans, the mad
people over on the Atlantic coast.
DR.. Mclaughlin, the first governor
of the Hudson Bay company west
of the Rockies, honestly believed
that when Oregon was colonized it
would be by sea from England.
Napoleon was Governor McLaugh-
Inns hero, and in his own small
kingdom he ruled as despotically as
his hero did over his large empire
Though he, too, met his Waterloo
and died a man without a country,
he is honored today in the west as

picturesque history outlined in this

Simple Garnish.

Every good cook knows that
| much depends on the way she gar
| nishes the food she prepares, but
the high class male cook is a past
| master at the art of garnishing.
And it is very good idea for the
| woman who would do the thing
unusual to look about her in the
restaurants and hotels she visits to
get tips in this matter Of garnish-
ing. Sometimes the simplest thing,
which may be easily copied at
home, are the most effective In
deed, the over-ornate garnish is
| something to be avoided
One interesting tea room does
this with its broiIed fish orders. 1t
| serves two slices of lemon with
each order Of fish, one covered with
paprika, one literally sprinkIed
with black pepper. These bits of
lemon are both useful and decora-
tive.
A hotel restaurant serves a fresh
leaf, well washed of course, with
each order of halved grape fruit.
The leaf. sparkling with water, is
placed on top of the half of grape
fruit.
Another hotel restaurant uses a
tiny pyramid of whipped cream,
pressed through a tube, as a gar
dish to tomato hisuue.
Egg white shredded with a
knlte Is used as garnish for
cn1cken salad at a place where this
de1cacy is speciality.
Strips OF toast, narrow. crisn and
evenly Drowned, are used tn gar
nlsh creamed Goldfish in a husineee
mems restaurant.
fou see, all these garnishes mean
something. They add to the taste
as well as the appearance of the
dish which they accompany. And
that Is what a real garnish sbonId
do The purely decorative garnish
Is not half SO worth while as the
one that is also edible and an addio
don to the taste or food yalua ne
the dish The leaf in the case ~
grape fruit is an exception R1t
there are always exceptions

1t is a considerable relief to Saratoga
people TO learn that the title to the
Hot Springs property has at last been
perfected and hat the state will take
over the property as provided for in
the bill which passed the legislature
last winter. For several months the
matter has been delayed and it was
feared that the former owners would
be unable TO clear up their title so
that the transfer could be made. How
ever, the attorney general has now
passed favorably on the abstract pre-
scented by the old Hot Springs Company
and the state will now come into pos
session of the springs and surround
ing land. A piece of property owned
by the $. x Il. Railroad Company on
the east side of the river caused most
of the trouble and delay. and the salts
factory adjustment of this matter has
allowed the sale to be consumated.
The story widely circulated by some
misinformed persons to the effect that
the establishment Of the state reserve
was held up by a disagreement over
the ownership of the big spring on the
west side Of the river, was without
foundation.
