 License Reduction '34

The purchase of a new street grader costing S39O00O was au- thorized by members of the City Council at the meeting held in the Council Chambers last even- ing which lasted until 11:30 o'clock.
 It was the first meeting since June 16 and considerable routine business was taken up by the Councilmen at the session which was well attended.
 Among the other business ta- ken up was the authorization for a call for bids to be issued on the construction of a concrete sidewalk on Second Street from Seward to Franklin Streets and also a call for bids on the kalsomining of the interior of the City Hall through out.
 Wharf Earnings Grow
 c. H. MacSpadden, wharfinger, reported a gain of IT percent in the gross earnings for the quarter ending June 30 over the same period of last year. The total gross earnings for the year are es- timated at Sl0,O00 The wharf committee was instructed to draft an ordinance covering new rules for boats at the two city floats, in an effort to eliminate trouble because of boats tying up too long and other details.
 City employees, who have been with the city for the period of a year were granted weeks vaca- tion with pay. and according to the decision of the Council, may have an additional weeks vacation without pay, if desired.
 Property owners, who formerly paid only the cost of making sew CT connections up to their property lines, will in the future pay the cost to the sewer, as the result of a decision made last evening.
 Dog Licenses To Drop
 Dog owners next year will only have to pay $4 for a license on female dogs and $2 on males, in- stead of $6 and $4 as in the past according to a new ordinance which will be drawn up effective next year.
 Capt. R. B. Lesher and R. c. Mize, of the Welfare Committee, made a report of the activities of that organization, and of the wood yard which is being main tained for the relief of unem- ployed. It was decided to approp- riate $500 for the Welfare fund to assist in the work being carried on.
 Other routine business occupied the Council members until the ad- journment of the meeting

LUMBER INDUSTRY IS IMPROVING, DECLARES
 KETCHIKAN MILL MAN

Conditions in the numbering in- dustry are improving somewhat and business this year probably will be materially ahead of that for 1882, in the opinion of Eldon J. Daly, owner and manager of the Ketchi- kan Spruce Mills, who is visiting here on business. He has spent the past three weeks cruising be- tween here and Ketchikan, looking over several tracks of timber for future supplies.
 He and Chet Neill arrived here Thursday evening on one of the company's gasbOatS. They prob ably will remain another week.
 MT. Daly reported the sale of some 250O00 box shocks to the salmon packers this year, but due to Puget Sound competition prices were below normal. Mills in that district early this year were glad to get business at almost any price. Improvements in Washington mar ket conditions recently, however, have been reported and price con- ditions are admittedly better, he said.
 With the advent of the salmon fishing and canning season, Ket- chikan business conditions are bet ter than for several months, and the unemployment situation has eased somewhat, MT. Daly said. However, there is still considerable unemployment and the need for opening up public works relief program is great.

More croquettes would be made in
the home. I have an idea, If more
cracker crumbs were kept ready for
daily use There should be a jar of
both medium and fine crumbs always
handy. Ones choice of crumbs too, is
important. Coarse or medium fine
crumbs may be used for the binding
together of meat and fish or vegetable
loaves or croquettes, but crumbs for
the outer coating should always be
finely crushed. This gives to croquettes
a smooth brown crust which is as firm
as need be- yet deliciously tender. The
plain soda or salted crackers make the
most satisfactory crumbs for cro-
quettes, although I have known some
very tasty croQuettes to be made with

.eLACkSNAkE.

one look at mankind and tries to
squeeze into any place to avoid him,
and he can do 50 with hghtn1ng-llk
speed. While he hurries away from
any scene like q dart from an arrow,
he Is no coward, and II cornered, can
put sup q good fight. No snake, how
ever, can take advantake Of a get
away" so quickly as the black snake
can. Last but not least, he has no
powers of Charming" whatever.
The blacksnake seems to seek dry
and open places in which to hunt, along
meadows. and where brush and bushes
are available for shelter. Here will be
found birds and mice and their nests,
which the snake visits regularly until
every member has been eaten. Eggs are
hunted and found by untold numbers
and frogs are caught, too.
The blacksnake is fast traveller;
where proper purchase Of the ribs
makes this possible, but where the sur
face Is very smooth, 1t cannot get along
so fast. This seems to enrage It and
It has been seen trying to overcome
the too smooth surface by means of
making a quick dash forward.
If captured, the snake will soon get
over its nervousness and accept food
offered 1t. It Is more intelligent than
most snakes and will follow an owner
about as though expecting food.
During June or July, this snake will
hide from one to two dozen eggs under
fiat stones. on sunny banks or in moist
soil. They are snow-white when first
laid, have a tough, leathery shell, about
one and seven -eighths inches long, and
each egg though it seems to have a
smooth. satin finish, appears to be
sprinkled with grains Of coarse salt. If
closely examined! This character will
distinguish the eggs of the blacksnake
from the great majority Of other snake
eggs. =
The eggs take about two months to
hatch. The young have pale gray
bodies, with whitish sides, and grayish-
brown saddles. Their heads are pale
gray, with dark spots and 'blotches, and
second Summer. they grow much dark
er, and continue to cast skins until
they have the uniform, slaty black
color their parents wear. The head Is
fairly distinct from the neck, and they
have white chins and throats. The
amount of white on their chins varies
with individuals.
These snakes live to be very old and
they thrive in captivity. They are more
frequently found than any other species
of snake and are not constructors. They
have no power whatever to squeeze VIC
Tins and always swallow dinner while
1t is struggling. The blacksnake preys
upon food very small in proportion TO
its own size, and If the prey becomes too
active the snake will press 1t to the
ground while 1t tries to swallow it,

The icing for these cookies and

candies, cherries, or candied rose or
violet petals may be added to any Of
the icings on plain waters. II some of

Cut the petals of the flowers from
candied cherries, so that each petal

the bit of green angelica that is to
form the center of the flower. Cut the
leaves and the stems from angelica.

with the sirup. As before, pour the
sirup over the slices, remove the rack
from the sirup, allow the slices to dry,

of an orange stick can well be used for

try making cake confectionery. You
will need several small fancy cake cut

with a small-nosed tube. Sponge cake.
pound cake, and angel cake that have
been baked at least day are best for
making these bonbons. If angel cake
is used. it should be two or three days
old. 1t can then be cut in any desired
shape without its breaking or crum-
bling. Whatever cake you use, cut 1t
out in little balls with a vegetable scoop,
and then dip the balls in melted candy
