High Cost Of Trans

Says Hamilton

Application for an increase in
its gas lighting and heating rates
to its Salem patrons to a point
which will yield a return OF eight
percent on its investment was fll-
ed I, with the public service COM
mission here this morning by the
Portland Railway Light and Pow
er company. The application points
out that the valuation Of the Sa-

making purposes is s226. .052.7O.
Since the issuance OF that or

company anticipates a net loss Of

ing to w. M. Hamilton, local man
ager of the company.
I'VE merely ask the public ser.'-
ice commission to grant us rates
that will insure us a fair return on
our investment" Mr.. Hamilton said
What the increase will amount 10

The company's greatest expense
is coal, Mr.. Hamilton said. the
freight rates for which are said 10
be virtually the same as its price.
Rate Raised In 1919
The company was granted a rise
In rates in July 1919, due to the
general increase in wages ana y
rise in the price OF coal. Since
that time the company was doing
well, Mr.. Hamilton said, until the
present rise in coal freight rates
became effective. In 1919 the rates
came up from $1.50 per 1000 cubic
feet, to $3.50 for the same amount.
The new gas generator, which
will be workable within a few
months, will provide for much bet
ter service, Mr.. Hamilton said, and
Will insure an adequate supply Of
gas during the canning season. The
capacity of the plant has doubled
during the last three years, be
stated.
The higher freight rates have
been in effect for about four
months. Salem is the only city in
the state in which the Portland
Railway Light and Power company
maintains gas plant.

Mature Geese and Partly Grown Cos
IIngs VIII Get Their Living From
Good Pasture SO Long as the Grass
Remains Green.
Practically all there are in this coun-
try are in small flocks, and few, If any,
farms are devoted entirely to their
raising. Fattening, however, is con-
Quoted as special business on large
scale In the producing sections, in
(which case the geese are collected
from the general farms, usually over
large area, and fattened for few
weeks before they are killed.
On farms where there Is plenty of
grass or pasture land geese can be
raised successfully in small flocks. A
natural supply Of water is, Of course,
essential. The birds are very hardy,
both young and old, and rarely are af-
fected by any disease or insect pest.
Grass forms the bulk of the feed, and
1t is doubtful whether it pays to raise
them unless it Is available. They are
the closest known grazers. Both ma
,ture geese and partly grown goslings
will get their entire living from good
pasture so long as the grass remains
green. A body of water where they
can swim Is considered essential dur
ing the breeding season, and is good
feature the rest of the year.

Scouts of America-)
SCOUT LAWS IN CAMP.

Every boy scout attending the White
Plains Council camp this summer, IS
given little folder on the application
Of the scout law In camp.
Here are a few Of the paragraphs
discussing the different laws:
A Scout Is Trustworthy.-A scouts
honor is trusted in camp as well as
elsewhere. The things you brought
to camp belong to you and what the
other campers brought belong to
them. Do not take anything that does
not belong to you without asking per-
mission Of the owner. If he loans you
anything, you are trusted with 1t and
are expected to return it in as good
condition as when taken to the place
or person from whom borrowed. You
are responsible for any camp tools or
equipment you may use which are the
property Of the camp. Be careful with
them and return them to their proper
place. When on h hike with other
scouts or alone, you are on your honor
and expected to behave as scout.
A Scout Is cheerfuI.-Smile, smile,
smile. No long face in camp. 1t will
cheer you up and also the other fell
low. Do your work cheerfully and
don't grumble at hardships nor shirk
your duty. There are duties to be
done in camp; go at them with smile
and you will work better and quicker.
Time is saved by doing your task the
best it can be done. Don't consider
it done until it is done In. the very
best way.
A Scout Is Thrifty.-The camp
equipment has cost a great deal OF
money. It belongs to the scouts. How
long 1t lasts, depends a great deal on
how you use 1t. A scout does not de-
stroy any property whether it belongs
to himself or to another. Respect the
rights Of others by using their things
in the right way. Make coed use of
your time in camp by learning some
thing that will be Of use to you. 1t
isn't j. necessary to spend all your
money because it has been given you
or you have earned 1t. To save 1t
from being lost or recklessly spent
the camp bank is operated. Deposit 1t
there.

GEESE QUITE EASILY RAISED
Kept Generally In Small FIocks on
Farms and Purchased by Expert.
enced Fatteners.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
There Is a demand usually for young
geese from June to January, although
most Of them are sold around Thanks
giving and Christmas. Ten-weeks-old
goslings Of the largest breeds of pure
bred geese weigh up to ten pounds
when forced for rapid growth, and
sometimes are profltably marketed at
that age as green geese. Large cities
containing foreign population offer
the best markets for geese.
Geese usually are killed and picked
the same as other kinds of poultry, but
are much more difficult to pick than
chickens. Generally the veins in the
back Of the mouth are severed with a
long-bladed knife, followed with
blow on the back Of the head with a
Ashort club. The wings are picked to
the FIRST joint, and the feathers are re-
moved from the neck half way to the
head, pulling with the feathers and not
back toward the head. The soft pin
feathers and fine down may be re-
moved partly by rubbing the body with
moistened hands or by shaving the
skin.
The dry picking Of geese is rather
difficult. The most common practice is
to scald or steam the goose feathers
before picking. This can be done over
wash boiler three-fcurths full of
boiling water, laying the dead goose
on a burlap sack stretched tightly over
the boiler, and steaming first the
breast, then the back, and then each
side. The whole process Of steaming
will not take more than two or three
minutes, and the goose must be kept
moving to prevent scalding the flesh.
The goose is steamed until the feath-
ers can be pulled out easily, and the
head usually Is laid under the breast
to keep the breast from scalding. After
picking, the bird is singed over an al
cohol flame, the alcohol usually being
burned In shallow tin plates. ;,
Another method for removing the
down Is to sprinkle powdered rosin
over the body Of the goose and dip 1t
into hot water, which melts the rosin
so that 1t and the down can be rubbed
off easily, leaving the body clean.
Geese may also be steamed by scalding
slightly and wrapping the body tightly
for five minutes or longer in burlap or
cloth to allow the steam to work thor
oughly through the feathers. Some
markets prefer dry-picked geese, while
in other markets no difference is made
in scalded or dry picked.
Geese are raised successfully in all
: parts Of the United States, but are
most abundant In the South and the
Middle West. Slightly more than one
tenth of the farms in the United States
reported geese in the census Of 1910.

Once Famous for Embroidery.

st. Gall, Switzerland, is the noted
embroidery seat Of modern days, and
one Of the most influential centers Of
Christian civilization in central Eu-
rope. The city owes its foundation to
the Irish apostle Gallus, who in the
year 614 founded hermitage near
the brook Steinach. In the resulting
monastery Of st. Gall the strict rules
of the Irish church were enforced
until 72O, when those Of St. Benedict
were substituted by an abbot, Othmar.
In 1861 the Abbot Norpert of st. Gall
erected convent on the Sitter river,
the place taking the name of Abbatis
Cella-Apenzell, and the abbots of st.
Gall became the dominating influence
of the land until the subsequently
much impressed mountaineers resorted
to force and succeeded in shaking Off
their yoke. '..s.

BOY SCOUT WORK IN ALBANIA.


The first troop Of boy scouts to be
organized in Albania has recently been
started in. Tirana by an American Red
Cross woman. The boys are deeply
interested, and are quite as eager to
do their daily good turn as their Amer
lean brothers. They wear a uniform
similar to our own, but their cap is a
picturesque affair of black felt, with
tartan band Of red and black, the
Albanian national colors, around the
edge and hanging down the back.
Most of the boys are Musselmans and
must wear brimless hat, so that
their faces may never be concealed
from Allah.
