LOS ASRELES, April 13. Tonif?ht, for
th first timr since leavtnK Hampton
Roads, the battleships of the Atlantic
fleet are separated. In home harbors a
few miles apart they lie at anchor in
divisions of four and these positions they
w ill maintain until next Saturday morn
ing, when the IS fighting crafts, asain
united under the flaK of Rear-Admiral
Thomas, will get under way for Santa
Barbara, the next port of welcome.
For the ships, for the officers end men
and for the people of Uos Angeles this has
been a busy Easter Sunday. The division
of the fleet was accomplished at 6 o'clock
this morninp. hut even at tnis early hour
the shores of San Pedro harbor and ine
hills overlooking were well covered with
spectators eager to witness the maneuvers
of the warsnips. While the crowds ashore
watched, suddenly the signals began to
fly and within a few minutes the second
division, led by its flagship, the Georgia,
! steamed slowly out of line and proceeued
three miles across the harbor to a point
opposite I,ong Beach. The third and
fourth divisions rounded Point Firmin for
a longer cruise, the four ships led by tiie
flagship Maine proceeding to anchorage
in the most sheltere'd portion of Santa
Monica Bay. and the fourth division, with
the Alabama leading, creeping out of the
column to anchor a few hundred yards
off the. pier at Redondo. ,
Hosts Visit the Warships.
At an early hour the steam and electric
roads were transporting . thousands of
visitors to a!! four ports and as the day
advanced the overcrowded beach cities
sent their surplus thousands of people
) along the stretches of "sandy. beacn out
along the docks and piers and up along
the hills that commanded the best views
of the. vessels at anchor.
Not until this afternoon were .visitors
received on board, and after that time the
people surged about the boat landings and
the shore was dotted -with tiny trafts
crowded with men, women and children,
who struggled to be first aboard the big
white, clean fighting machines.
A striking feature of the service in each
of the big churches of Los Angeles was
the presence of squads of bluejackets,
who were without exception given places
in the front pews and in almost every
case rhe clergyman addressed to them a
portion of his Easter sermon. Tne
"church squads" were composed of first
class, .liberty men. They came ashore
early this morning. After devotional ser
vice they were given until tomorrow
morning to see the town.
Armed patroia at the beach cities a.nd
in la Angeles kept vigil, but there has
been no instance, .of disorder. .
.Ships Illuminated Sightly.
"Throughout the next five days and while
officer and men of the fleet "are par
ticipating In the round of banquets, bails
nd other forms of entertainments devised
by various committees, the people of all
Southern California will be welcomed
aboard the battleships and each night
there will be a reptltlon o. last nights
splendid Illumination. Judging by today's
record. It is safe to say that 2M.OO0 people
will make the effort to inspect the tug
guns at close range and learn how Jac
lives aboard ship.
The formal welcome to the officers will
"he tendered by the i'ity of Los Angeles
tomorrow night In a banquet at the Hotel
Alexandria, to which SO Invitations have
been Issued. The affair will be one of
the most notable In the history of the city
and the decorations, which have taken
days In preparation, will be unsurpassed
by any function that has taken place In
California in late years.
Cioneral Adna R. Chaffee. U. S. A., re

PARADE OF FINE HORSES
Washington County Displays High,
Breedings Governor's Speech.
.HILIBORO. Or., April 19. f Special.)
The hor parade here yesterday was a
renewal of a feature that years ago was
a prominent factor in Washington
I'ounty'a industrial life. Washington
t'ounty has furnished more I.irtre draft
horses for the Pacific Northwest than any
other county In the state, and the Per
heron strain has Wen highly developed.'
intermingled with Clydes and Shires. The
day was preceded by a severe storm, and
the morning1 opened threatening, so that
the exhibit was from 15 to 30 horses less
than was expected. Fully 4v people
came in from the surrounding section and
the weather during the parade was ideal.
Governor Chamberlain was the guest of
the horse association, and delivered the
address of the day. He van met at the
8:15 o'clock train from Portland by L. A.
Long. Sheriff Connell and James H.
.Sewell. a prominent ranchman, and taken
two miles in the country to thv big
Sewell ranch, which comprises 70 a?re.
where an old-fashioned ranch breakfast
was served. From there the party trav
ersed the North Tualatin Plains, visiting
the historic Joe Meek homestead, now
owned by Sheriff Connell; passing the
donation of Thomas Otchin, pioneer of
1841, and J. S. Grifrtn. pioneer missionary
of 1859. The section covered is one of
ti most beautiful and productive of the
county's bench lands. The city was
reached at 11 o'clock and the committee
then introduced the Governor to hundreds
of farmers and townsmen.
After the horse parade Governor Cham
berlain was introduced by Mayor Den
nis, i The Governor spoke for three
quarters of an hour, and told how ho
had watched the wonderful development
of Washington County's horse strains and
dairy herds. He 'said that in eight years,
owing to the establishment of .the con
densers, this county had Jumped from
eighth place to first place in dairy pro
duction. He reviewed the progress of the
state, and said that Oregon had made
wonderful progress in the past ten years.
COLT Wl TH C O W 'S HOOF.
ALBANY, Or.. April 19. (Special.)'
A freak colt has bf?n born on the
farm of E. Hartsock, in Benton
County, near this city. One of its
front feet is a coWa hoof. The colt
Im now four days old and apparently
Is not hampered by Us strange foot.
It runs about and will probably
grow up.
notwithstanding the fact that the South
ern Pacific on the eouth had been
spending millions to promote California
and the Northern and Great Northern
had given Washington a like benefit,
while Oregon was left to her state motto,
and, indeed, she had flown with her own
wings. He stated that Oregon was first
in journalism, metropolitan .and country,
in the United States and that the state's
citizenry was comprised of the principals
and descendants of the ablest, most
daring and ambitious of -the East. His
address Was well received, and at the
close he was warmly congratulated by
his hearers.
BORAH'S BILL MAY PASS
Allows Use of Federal Funds In Irri
gation Towns.
OREGON" IAN NEWS Pl'REAr, Wash
ington. April 19. There Is promise of
early action on the bill Introduced by
Senator Borah, of Idaho, providing that
moneys derived from the sale of town
lots in townsltes on Government trrlfra
tion tracts shall be utilized in the erec
tion of schools. Installation of sewer and
water systems, etc.. in the respective
towns in which the funds shall be
raised. Although the Reclamation Serv
ice and Secretary of the Interior recom
mended the- passage- of this bill a month
ago. no a,ction' has been taken by the
committee on irrigation because of the
fajlure of the .chairman to get a quo
rum present to consider the bill. Special
efforts will be put forth In the near fu
ture to get the committee togethe f. and
it is. then believed the bill w4U.be re
ported. The entire committee is not in favor
of the bill and. strange to say, the two
principal opponents are Western Sena
torsCarter of Montana and Sutherland
of Utah. Carter has not been oi very
friendly terms with the Interior Depart
ment and his opposition to a bill recom
mended by - the Secretary does not come
altogether as a surprise, though Mon
tana would be one of the first states to
benefit under the Borah bill if it should
become a law. -Senator Sutherland, how
ever, opposes the bill on other grounds..
He questions the wisdom of allowing
the expenditure of Government money
in aiding in the upbuilding of any town.
He inclines to the opinion that money
for municipal " Improvements ..should be
raised by the towns themselves, possibly
with state aid, but not by aid from the
Federal Government.
However, . a majority of the committee
Is known to favor the Borah bill, for
most of the members take a broad view
of the question. They realize that towns
on Government projects are not devel
oping as rapidly as towns on Carey act
projects, and they appreciate that this
condition must always exist under the
present law. There is comparatively
little difficulty in raising funds for mu
nicipal improvements on Carey act proj
ects, because settlers on Carey act lands
can acquire title and mortgage their
farms. If need be, to raise fuTids. On
the Government projects, however, set
tiers cannot acquire title' inside of five
and more often ten years, hence cannot
raise money by mortgages, and in the
early years of any project the develop
ment of new towns is correspondingly
retarded.
The Borah bill Is to overcome this dif
ficulty experienced .in these new towns
at the very beginning: at the time when
they wish to get a good start, but are
handicapped by lack of money. When
a project is fully developed and the
lands have entirely passed into private
ownership, there would be no difficulty
in procuring money for municipal Im
provements, but it Is desirous that this
five or ten-year wait be avoided. While
Government project towns are retarded.
Carey act towns in the same vicinity are
forging ahead, and where towns1 are des
tined to be rivals, ten years is a-serious
handicap.
Friends of the Borah Mil believe thc-y
can pass the measure through the Sen
ate, once. It is reported, for they have
confidence fhat a majority of that body
will realize the necessity as well as the
justice -of permitting the use of town-
lot funds for municipal works. If the
bill can get through the Senate In good
season. It can likely pass the House as
well, for It Is not likely Congress will
adjourn much before June, thus afford
ing ample time for consideration in that
body.
There is not as much opposition to this
bill in the House as in the. Senate, and
as it carries no appropriation. Eastern
Representatives will very generally de
fer to the wishes; of their colleagues
from the West.
Building Brisk at Elms.

time. A number of mills and camps
tributary to Elma have resumed opera

good here. A number of pieces of town
property have recently changed hands at
about the ssme values as prevailed a
year ago. But conditions will not greatly
Improve until the lumber-rate question
is settled.

LAST LINK MAKES
DREAM REALITY
Harriman Completes' Ocean-to-Ocean
Railroad in
.Southeast.
BIRMINGHAM IN THE LINK
With. Opening "of Birmingham Divi
sion of Illinois (Antral, He
Gets Through Route to Sa- ,
vannah from Pacific'
CHICAGO. April special.) Edward
H. Harriman, railroad wizard, will real
ize his dream of an actual transconti
nental line tomorrow with the formal
opening of the Birmirpham division of
the Illinois Central system. This link
gives him a route from the Pacific to the
Atlantic Savannah, Ga., being the East
ern terminus.
Connecting with Mr. Harriman'a Cen
tral of Georgia at 'Birmingham, the Illi
nois Central will form a link over which
traffic can be routed from Coast to Coast
over lines controlled by Mr. Harriman,
either by way of Chicago and Omaha and
the Union Pacific, or by New Orleans and
the Southern Pacific. Through securing
thfe Central of Georgia Mr. Harriman has
also obtained a steamship line running
from Savannah, Ga., the terminus of that
railroad, to New York.
The opening of the Birmingham division
will give the Illinois Central an inlet to
the great coal and iron fields or Alabama
with their immense annual tonnage.
Traffic arrangements have been made
with the Central of Georgia, which will
prove Immensely valuable to both roads.
The Illinois Central will particularly
profit by -it, as- the Central of Georgia
touches practically every important city in
the Southeast and the freight that that
road will be able to turn over to the
Illinois Central will assume enormous
proportions.
DISARM RESTLESS MOROS

distributed around the coast, co-operating
in a series of closing-in movements
and seizing all arms.
The Moros have been restless and
trouble has been feared particularly from
one armed band of 1. No details have
been received. A similar drive has been
progressing at Iake Ianao. Island of

TWO KINDS OF OMELETS AND
HOW THEY MAY BE PREPARED
In Reply to Query, Lilian Tingle Tells Best Methods of Making Rich and
Tempting Dishes of Eggs.
BY I.IUTAN TTNGL.E.
S SUBSCRIBER (Jackermvllle, Or.)
writes: "I read in a recent copy
of The Oregonian an article about
the making of omelets. Will j;ou kindly
sell me your recipe, if you have a good
one, for I am not very successful with
mine."
I have no special recipe that I should
be justified in calling my own, much less
in selling it as such. Moreover, as I have
before stated, I have no recipes for sale,
though I am always irlad to give recipes
or any household information of general
interest on request in these columns. So
here are some susrgostions in regard to
the making of these classic delicacies:
One authority rays: "First catch your
egri the not too lively kind." Fine, fresh
eggs, and plenty of them are the first ne
cessity. The next is the right sort of
omelet pan. "Any old frying pan" will
not do. It should be absolutely smooth
nnd clean, and rather email than large
In proportion to the number of epes
used, so that the omelet will not spread
out thin, instead of being thick and soft.
Some omelet pans are rounded like a
bowl, instead of having the straight sides
of fhe ordinary frying pan. This makes
easier the turning out of a nice, plump
omelet: but with, a little practice you can
get just as good results with a rather
deep enameled frying pan of the usual
shape.
. The next point is to decide on the type
of omelet you want to make. There is
the "puffy" kind,, or "souffle" omelet,
and the "creamy" kind, or "French" om
elet. The former, being the easier to
make, shall be considered first.
Dorj't use less than two or more than
six ess for an omelet, and It Is best to
try a little one first, if you lack experi
ence. Separate the whites and yolks of
the eggs. Beat tlie yolks until creamy in
a bowl with pepper and salt and a table
spoonful of water, milk, or cream for
each egg used. For a sweet omelet (and
this type of omelet is usually served
sweet rather than savory), substitute hnlf
a teaspoonful of sugar and a few drops
of flavoring for the pepper and salt. Beat
the whites until stiff and fold them into
the mixture.
For three eges you will need a good ta
Mespoonful or more of butter melted in
the pan. The exact amount is not impor
tant, but there should be enough to run
freely al! over the bottom of the pan. In
melting it. tip the pan to get the sides
warm and greased, and avoid browning
the butter. Next pour in the mixture and
let It cook gently for a minute or so until
the lower part is set and slightly brown.
Cook the upper part by wetting the pan in
the oven for a few moments, or under the
broiling flame of the gas stove.
It should puff tremendously and fill you
with pride- The pride will go before a
fall, however, if you .overcook your om
elet, or If you fall to serve it immediately.
Fold and turn it out as expeditiously as
possible. If it has a savory filling, put
that In before folding. A sweet omelet
should he lightly sifted with powdered
sugar and may have either a sweet filling
or a suitable sauce of fruit or wine poured
round it; or it may be served in its sweet
simplicity.
The other type of omlet calls for more
knack in tne making and is the kind cel
lunching with him one day at the White
House, he took' me for a drive in the '
country and Introduced me to a good
manv A Tntrt-.an I lhnn?ht that I
knew-. - something about stalking small I
birds, but his quickness of eye and ear
and . the infinite, pains he took that I
might. get a good view of his feathered
friends among the branches of tall trees
astonished . meJ
Together -we stealthily crept over
muWy. slippery hillsides and beneath
dripping -undergrowth, stalking wood
peckers, phoebes. cardinal birds, tree
sparrows, or othar winged creatures. The
President wished to show me. and as we
followed the course of the river, he re
marked: "Here, is the place to see an
American" kingfisher," and almost Im
mediately exclaimeA TVith boyish im
pulsiveness, "I hear his notes." Stalk
ing cautiously in the direction indicated
by President Roosevelt. I obtained a good
view of the bird, which is - larger than
its British representative, but not so
brilliantly colored.
I have tramped English woods. Welsh
hillsides, and Scottish mountains with
many good walks, tout have seldom come
across a -man who could touch Presi
dent Roosevelt at getting over rough
ground while on the1 alert for any living
thing that might betray its - presence
by sound or movement. I had the ex
treme satisfaction of thanking the ruler
of the United States of America for
giving me the greatest ornithological
treat I have ever enjoyed in my life.
Just to Indicate this great man's kind
ness of heart,- I will mention a fact that
Immensely pleased me. After my lec
ture at the White House was over the
President shook hands with the two men
who had shown my slides and animated
pictures on the '.creen and thanked them
for the admirable way in which they
had done their work.
MAY FINISH VANCOUVER UNE
New "Capital Plana to Take Over
Trolley Project.' '.' . J
VANCOUVER, Wash., April 19. (Spe
cial.) The outcome of the resolution
passed by the City Council declaring
it the purpose of that body to forfeit
the franchise of the street railway
compajiy unless work should be com
menced is that a strong effort will be
made to have local, capital -interested
in the line and an early completion of
the road lh the city. A realty board
has been organized, and a subscription
has been passed among- the business
men, who have been asked to subscribe
for stock. Over $15,000 have been taken
thus far. and if the board meets with
the same encouragement manifested by
those already approached, it appears
reasonably certain that enough stock
will be subscribed to complete the lines
within the city limits.
The old company has proposed to the
Realty Board that it will surrender all
its property and holdings, consisting
of franchises, two miles of track al
ready laid, and a large quantity of
steel and ties on hand, and take bonds
for the actual cash it has expended,
provided the work of completing the
line as originally contemplated is taken
up. The committee in charge of solicit
ing subscriptions to the new company
feels very much encouraged the way
the property-holders have taken hold
of the matter.
Will Improve Road.
MONTESANO, Wash., April 19. (Spe
cial.) The county road between this
city and Aberdeen, which was built a
year ago at an expense of nearly
$10,000, Is badly in need of repairs, it
being In very bad shape. The County
Commissioners have decided to widen
the road and make It 40 feet wide the
entire length, it being only wide enough
for one team. More gravel will be put
on, and the road will be scraped and
rolled and put in the beBt possible con
dition for public use.'
Crush Rock for Roads.
ASTORIA, Or.; ' April 19. (Special.)
The County Court has purchased a new
rock crusher, with a capacity of IS tons
an hour, and a 30-horse power boiler and
engine, which it has' directed be taken
to the quarry near Olney. The smaller
ebrated in son and 6tory. To my mind
it Is the only kind worth mentioning. In
this case the eggs are beaten, white and
yolk together, just enough thoroughly to
mix them, with a little liquid, pepper and
salt as already described. The pan is
well battered and heated in the same
way: but rather greater heat is required,
so that a film of egg Is cooked almost
immediately. You then tip the pan or
raise the cooked part with a fork, so that
the uncooked egg flows under; and so on
till the mass Is about half cooked. Then
the easiest way is to form the omelet in
oval shape by tipping it to one side of
the pan, where it is allowed to brown
slightly on the outside. You can at this
time fold in any desired filling. Be care
ful not to overcook it, and try to turn
It out in a good, thick, oval shape while
the inside is still quite soft and juicy.
You muet steer a careful course In order
to avoid, on the one hand, a flat, airless,
folded pancake, and on the other hand a
dish of scrambled eggs. The best way to
learn is to watch someone who knows
"just how." but of course this is not al
ways possible.
If a savory omelet with chopped herbs
parsley, chives or tarragon Is desired, be
sure that they are very finely chopped
and add them to the uncooked mixture.
A few other flavoring materials are add
ed In the same nay, as, for instance, in
the famous "omelette au thonfc' or tunny
omelet, where tunny and carp or shad
roe are whipped up with butter and add
ed to the raw eggs, which are then cooked
at above.
Brillat SavarJn tells a charming story
of how the beautiful Madame Recamler
(in connection with some charitable en
terprise), made an afternoon call upon a
certain cure in Paris and was somewhat
embarrassed to find him at dinner, which
is described as follows:
"The repast was a compromise between
frugality and luxury. The crawfish soup
had just been removed and there was on
the table a salmon trout, an omelet and a
salad. Madame Recamler and the cure
attacked the trout, the sauce of which
betrayed a skillful hand, the countenance
of the cure, the while, showing satisfac
tion. And now they fell upon the omelet,
which was round, sufficiently thick and
cooked, so to speak, to a hair's breadth.
As the spoon entered the omelet, a rich,
thick juice issued from it. pleasant to the
eye as to the smell: the dish became full
of it. and our fair friend owns that be
tween the. perfume and the sight it made
her mouth water.
"The cure noticed with the greatest de
light the emotion of Madame Recamler.
'Never has so enticimr an omelet met my
sight, - said she. 'and I never ate any
thing so delightful.
"Then came the salad of the kind which
refreshes without exciting. : and makes
people younger. Amid pleasant converse
the dessert arrived. It consisted of three
apples, cheese and a plate of preserves;
and. then, upon a little round table, was
served the Mocha coffee for which France
has been, and is. justly famous. Finally
the charming Madame Recamler took her
leave and told all her friends of the de
licious omelet which she had seen and
partaken, of."
, T hope that when you serve an omelet
to your friends you may succeed in in
spiring them with similar emotions.
crusher now at the Olney quarry is to
be moved to some point further out on
the line of the road being built to the
Xehaiem Valley. Both crushers will be
operated all Summer In order that so
much as possible of the new road can b
covered with rock before the rains of
next Fall.
Sl'MPTER . RESUMES M1XIXG
"Work Is Started, on ( Properties
. Throughout District.
As , predicted last Fall, there Is a
general revival of gold mining: In the
Sumpter district. For tb'e past three
or four years merchandise, labor and
machinery have been so high that it
was necessary for people who were
mining to dig from their . pockets all
the time tj keep things going. Now
that these things-can be procured at
a reasonable price, capital is looking
this way for investment. Mr. Hall, who
originally ex per ted the Bonanza mine
and sold It for the Geisers, is again at
the Bonanza, with ample capital to op
erate it, and will do Considerable de
velopment at once.
The Imperial mine Is under bond to
New York people and the deal will no
doubt be taken up in the next ten
days at a handsome price. The Wig
man mine, in the Granite district, is
under bond to Birmingham, Ala,, peo
ple and as this Is one of the best pros
pects in this part of the country, the
buyers will no doubt close the deal in
the near future. There is rumor of a
consolidation of the - Columbia Taber
Fraction and E. E. mines. This
would be the making of the camp.
There is money enough In these three
mines to pay off the National debt, and
all it needs ia practical mining to get
it out.
Captain Weiherell is now running
night and day on the Gold Center prop
erty with good prospects of success.
The Buck Gulch mines are in full opera
tion again. , Two hundred-dollar ore is
being taken from the Buffalo Monitor
mines and stacked up on the dump
waiting for good roads, so it can be
transported for reduction. The Wheeler
& Co. properties have been closed down
for a time on account of the financial
troubles in New York, but they are
getting things shaped up and expect
to resume operations at the Blue Bird,
Ophir and Independence, all good prop
erties, that will become dividend pay
ers as soon as a little further develop
raent is done.
His Father, the Barber.
Toronto Saturday Night.
An irishman one day went into a bar
ber's shop to get shaved. After he was
jested and the lather-about half applied
the barber was called to an adjoining
room, where he was detained for some
time.
The barber had in the shop a pet
monkey, which was continually imitating
his master.
As soon as the latter left the room the
monkey seized the brush and proceedeu
to finish the son of Erin's face. After
dolnar this he took a razor from its case
and stropped it, and then turned to Pat
to shave him.
"Shtop that," said the latter firmly. Ye
can tuck the towel In me neck and put
the soap on me face, but, begorrah, yer
father's got to shave me.

Sleep
Sleep is nature's re
building period, "when the
energy used by the brain '
muscles and organs is re
newed. If you lose sleep,
your system is robbed of
the strength sleep should
give. Continued loss of
sleep multiplies this loss
until you become a phys
ical wreck. Dr. Miles'.
Nervine quiets the irri
tated nerves and brings
refreshing, invigorating
sleep. Nervine contains
no opiates, and therefor
leaves no bad after-effects.
"For over two years I Buffered un-
told ajfoniea; my friends thought I
was going crazy. I could not sleep
nor rest at all. I tried different doc
tors, but ailed to find relief. My
head would ache all the time; I was
like one drunk; could not concentrate
my mind, and was so restless and
worried that sleep waa out of the
question. After takicr one bottle of
Dr. Miles Nervine I felt wonderfully
changed. I am now on my third bot
tle and am gaining all the time. I
can lie down and sleep like a child,
and am able to do my work.'
MRS. MAY SCOTT. English. In.

Possess every possible safe
guard that, you oould demand
in any investment. They are,
therefore, ideal. There is no
way for you to lose the
amount you invest, owins to
the fact that $1 of assets
WILL
Always stand behind every
dollar's worth of bonds. The
great Pacific Coast country
is sufficient guarantee- of the
reliability of the proposition.
The Ocean Shore Railway
will 'soon
YIELD
Its stockholders hardsome
dividends, owin? to the al
most incalculable amount of
freight and passenger traffic
that will have to be handled
from the territory it reaches.
At the time price, $'J6, the
interest is
5.21
Which is 5 per cent on the
par value of the bonds. $100.
Your money will continue to
draw this interest for the en
tire term of 30 years, and the
money you invest need not
be touched by you
FOR
All that time. Short-time in
vestments may net a greater
profit, but when brokerage
fee, expensp of locating new
investments and ''time and
worry over them are consid
ered, it is far more desirable
to prefer , ,
SO
Tear bonds. The worry, is
frver when the bond is paid
for. Railway bonds are pre
ferred investment securities.
There is more money invest
ed in them than in any other.
