Through the efforts of a Baker
man, the Ideas In regard to the
travel of the Hunt party of the Astor
expedition are being changed. Just at
the time of the centennial celebration
of the coming: of that party to Baker
County.
The new route puts many of the prin

changing of the course brings the coun

this Summer and of the ellfflcult trips
msde by the two parties who went
there 100 years ago. The most promi
nent work Is "Astoria," written by
Washington Irving, who tells of the in
cidents of the trip of the inland parly
under the leadership of Wilson Price
Hunt, but he doe not tell of the exact
route, which has always been uncer
tain.' Routes Are Given.
The map of the Department of the
Interior showing routes of principal
explorers, gives the Hunt (Astoria)
party's route In 1810-12 tnrougn tne
Wallowa country. So also do Frederick
V. Holman. president of the Oregon

seoms to Infer a more eouthern route In
bis "History of the Northwest Coast.'-
In sDeaklnc- of the efforts for tne-
change Rev.. Barry says: "My attentlo
was first called to the probable Identi
fication of the route by Judge Samuel
White and I have traced the matter un
til I am convinced that the new route
I the correct one.
"The account given In "Astoria by
Washington Irving, describes the va
rious occurrence In the journey, but
does not Identify the various localities
by modern names.
"By careful study I noted that one
locality waa visited three times and
from the description and lay of the
land It was undoubtedly in the vicinity
of Huntington, where the Snake River
leaves the great plains of Southern Ida
ho and enters the canyon. This is the
key by which the other localities may
be Identified.
Locality la Identified.
"This la evidently the locality reached
by Hunt's party, who after traveling
over an apparently level country, mak
ing 70 mile In three days, came on No
vember I", 1811, to where the Snake
River led them Into the mountains. Af
ter great difficulties they reached the
Seven Devil Mountains, which they
could not cross and turned back until
December 15. while they got out of the
hills and emerged Into the open coun
try. "The third time this locality was vis
ited was the following Summer when
several member of the party under Mr.
Stuart were returning to the East with
dispatches for Mr. Astor. It Is distinct
ly said that they retraced the route
taken by Mr. Hunt. The Snake Is de
scribed as a rapid stream. 400 yards
wide, with high sandy banks and here
and there a scanty growth of willows.
"There can be no doubt that this was
In the vicinity of Huntington and that
being determined, the other localities
are easily Identified. The Welser River,
the Payette River, Boise River. Malheur
River, Burnt River, the Baker Valley,
which Is described a a 'fine level val
ley with a chain of woody mountains
on the west, running north and south
and covered vlth snow.' The Grand
Ronde Valley and Hot Lake are beauti
fully described.
Lyman Is Agreed.
"Mr. Holman evidently approves of
this identification of the routes. Pro
fessor Lyman writes, 'You are evident
ly right in a general approximation of
the localities named.'"

NEW YORK. July 15. (Special.)
Senator Warren, of Wyoming, 67
years old and as vigorous and ac
tive as a man of half his age. Is to
marry Miss Clara LeBaron Morgan, in
the near future. The announcement is
made by Mrs. John Sands Morgan,
her mother. Miss Morgan has been
living for several yeara with her
mother in New Tork and spends part
of theseason at the home of Justice
Brown, her uncle, in Washington. She
Is 35 years old. Senator Warren and
his future wife are acquaintances of
many years and the announcement of
their engagement did not surprise
their most Intimate friends. Senator
Warren Is a native of Massachusetts,
but went to Wyoming when he was a
young man and was living there when
the territory was admitted to state

ICED TEA, LIKE HOT
BEVERAGE, NEEDS CARE
Lemon Juice Has Tendency to Make Liquid Clear Expert Warns Diners
to Drink Between Meals, Rather Than at Regular Eating Time.
(Tea Series No. 3.)
BY LILIAN TINGLE.
ACOKKESfOMJt.M asas me nny
Is Iced tea sometimes clear and
beautiful, and sometimes quite
muddy-looking?" Another says, "1 have
always understood that Iced tea Is very
bad for you. Will you kindly say if
this la true; and. If so, why?"
Evidently Iced tea has been well to
the fore during the recent thirsty days.
In regard to the cloudiness of Iced
tea. something of this Is due to the ort
of tea used, and something to the way
In which It Is made. I have already
referred to the "creaming down" of tea
on cooling, where the "residual ex
tract," Including a certain amount of
mucilage or vegetable Jelly and other
matters soluble In hot water, are pre
cipitated on cooling. The amount of
residual extract varies In different
kind of tea. Where very clear tea is
desired a variety showing little "cream
ing down" might be chosen. The cloud
iness does not. however. Impair either
the flavor or wholesomeness of the tea
only Its appearance. If the tea for
Icing Is carefully made, with fresh boil
ing water, and not allowed to stand
more than 3 minutes before being
poured from the leaves, it will not only
be practically free' from tannin and
delicate In flavor, but 1 likely to be
clear a well.
The "newly-wed" housekeeper should
be cautioned against putting away hot
tea Into the Icebox. I have often seen
this done; and up go both the tempera
ture of the refrigerator and the ics
bills. A good old-fashioned way to
cool tea or any other liquid without
Ice, or before putting on Ice, Is to have
It In a stone crock a slightly porous
Jar is best, wrapped In wet flannel a
bit or old Dianxei is gooa anu set u
the draft of a shady window.
Campers' Trick Good.
Most people know this camping trick
for keeping liquids or butter cool by
the evaporation of damp wrappings; but
they do not always think of applying
It In the home. If a smaller Jar of wa
ter can be suspended above the large
crock, with a strip of flannel to act aj
a siphon between the water and the
wrapping, the latter can be kept con
stantly damp without, attention.
Another point In regard to the clear
ness of iced tea Is that lemon Juice
tends to clear It. and make it more at
tractive In color.
In regard to the question about "iced
tea being bad for you," It all depends
who you are. How the tea Is made, and
when and how It Is' taken.
Tea allowed to cool on the leaves
and served, afterwards, with floating
lumps of "harvested" Ice. from some
questionable source. Is likely to be lit
erally "a deadly brewage." Apart from
possible disease germs and probable
dirt In the ice. tea thus made would
contain a large amount of tannin and
would have a most tnjurious effect on
the nervous and digestive system. The
tenderest beefsteak taken In conjunc
tion with such a tannin solution would
go through the early stages, of leather
manufacture. In the stomach, before the
gastric Juices got a chance at it.
Moreover. It Is to be remembered that

to Kipling's "Kim."

of course, be sipped slowly, and be

age. It has been found a most useful
article of diet for soldiers, increasing
remarkably the power of enduring
great fatigue, especially In hot cli
mates. The great tea-drinking nations of
China and Japan produce the hardest

world. A recent observer notes a con

Tea Is Restorative.
Tea appears to act as a stimulant
and restorative to the nervous system.
Part of the stimulating effect of tea
Is doubtless due to its warmth and
the mechanical action of sipping, since
certain similar changes In heart action
and blood pressure can be brought
about as has been proved by experi
ments by the sipping" of hot water.
Hot water'alone. however, lacks many
of the beneficial attributes of tea.
Tea tends to remove fatigue, rouses
and clears the mind, and promotes in
tellectual energy. It diminishes the
Inclination to sleep, especially If taken
strong, but this effect varies with dif
ferent Individuals, and much depends
upon the mental attitude whether you
expect to be kept awake or not. I have
known people to refuse tea compla
cently on the score of wakefulness,
and enjoy a fruit punch containing
quite as much tea as -their customary
weak infusion. To later questioning they
have reported: "Never slept better.
But it 1-3 a good thing I refused your
tea, because tea, even the smallest
quantity, always gives me a bad night!"
Again I have known hot weather
sufferers, unable to sleep, rise in the
middle of the night, brew and drink
several cups of hot, strong tea and
fall peacefully asleep almost immedi
ately, under its relieving action.
Tea Increases the action of the skin
and therefore tends to cool the body
when hot, and warm It. when cold.
Coffee haa a slightly different action,
and Is therefore better for cold weather
than for hot.
Tes will often relieve headache, and
will often also accelerate the action
of aperients. It deadens the sensation
of hunger and Increases the power of
fasting a very desirable result for
those who have formed the habit or ,
overeating.
It is also a useful antidote (may you
never need to use it!) to alcoholic
intoxication, especially in relieving the
mental torpor which even small quan
tities of alcohol will produce in certain
persons.
Beverage Injures Some. j
On the other hand, tea taken in ex
cess and badly. made may become In
jurious, especially for young children
and for some constitutions. It should 1

be remembered, however, that this may
be said of. almost any article of diet.
In irritable states of the stomach
tea is apt to disagree, especially the
coarser teas and teas, such as green
teas, containing the greater amounts
of tannin. Tea taken in a meal, espe
cially If there is nervous worry, will
sometimes help to excite various dys
peptic symptoms which disappear when
the worry is avoided, or where the
tea Is taken calmly between meals.
Very occasionally tea excites gastrio
catarrh, or brings on cardiac palpita
tions. Usually, however, tea, alone, is
not to blame for this. Green tea, as
has been explained previously, is more
likely to be overexclting to the nerv
ous system than black tea.
Some find India teas more beneficial
than China or Japan teas; and vice
veisa. Interesting laboratory experi
ments were made, about two years ago,
by Irving Hancock, a physical culture
specialist, in regard to the effects of
systematic tea drinkinsr, of Japan tea
made by Japanese methods. A large
number of persons were given a gallon
of weak tea a day, with results care
fully noted by a physician. The "vic
tims" included some perfectly healthy
persons and some in very low physical
condition. x
A gallon of weak Japanese tea every
24 hours for 30 days had no ill effect
of any kind on the healthy subjects;
and the ill ones recovered their health
a3 readily as though no "pernicious
nerve stimulant" had been given.
Nor was any "slavish habit" formed.
Several "subjects" left off thek- tea
for periods of one day to one week,
without feeling any "undue cravings."
A Japanese was once asked his opin
ion of tea, as usually served at Ameri
can tables. His racial politeness kept
back an answer for some time; but at
last he said: "You Americans use tea
leaves, It is true, but I don't know
what to call the brew. It is not tea aa
Japanese understand the word."
To summarize, then, beneficial tea
drinking Involves: (1) careful selec
tion of tea to suit individual taste and
constitution: (2) fresh water and cor
rect temperature; (3) short time of
infusion; afterward no boiling of tea
leaves; (4) avoidance of tea at meals;
(5) calm attitude of mind when sip
ping; (6) avoidance of unwholesome
acetei?orIes.
With these points duly considered,
tea either hot or iced may be both
wholesome and delicious.
Improve Shop Facilities.

I believe that if more time and money
were spent in improving shop facilities.
Ei.d less on the exploitation of bonus
systems, the net result would be in
creased dividends and a better-satisfied
labor market than now exists.
In a shop transportation system, tho
volume of traffic depends upon the car
rying capacity- per unit and the maxi
mum speed, "t Is needless to say that
the efficiency depends upon the loads
being maintained as close to the rated
capacity as possible; upon the routing
approaching as closely as possible to
straight line; and upon the speed of
starting, running, and stopping being

ment installed. It is not necessarily
true that theaspeeding up of machine?
will always give satisfactory results.
If the equipment' is going- to break
down or show undue wear under a
higher speed, it would be folly to raise
the speed. This is clearly demonstrated
in steam-railroad practice where defi
nite limits 'of speed for freight traffic
are determined from maintenance rec
ords. If there is a chance for economy
of operation under higher speeds, but if
existing equipment will not stand It,
we should face the problem boldly and
