Photographs by ThePeasleys. BY MBS. DORA E. BADGER. MOLALLA, Or.. June 19. (Spe cial.) "Going to the canning demonstration?" a neighbor's child asked me. I replied that 1 was. "If it rains?" continued the laconic query. "I am going, rairn or shine." I replied with emphasis. I had not watched the canning clubs sweep across the conn try from the east to my very door to be bluffed out by anything Jess than iomething serious. It goes without faying that my husband and children awaited the appointed time as anx iously as T. m The boys' and girls' canning club work has been organized In Oregon f6r J-bout a year. Miss Helen Cowgill and 'Mr. Griffin taking charge of the dem onstration work for the whole state. This necessitated the former beginning actual demonstrations in January. Thte week she is working in Clackamas uouniy, wnica Drougnt ner 10 Aioiana for the afternoon of Wednesday, June IS, under the auspices of the Parent Teacher Association. The Department of Agriculture, Ore gon Agricultural College, and the De partment of Education are united in this work. Thirty or more had gath ered at the si hoolhouse to learn more of the canning art. From the time the leather case con taining the aluminum steam pressure cooker and equipment was unpacked, there was not an uninteresting .mo ment. The modern canner and modern jars set one to thinking of the equipment of long ago, when every can had to be polished inside with shot to take out the splinters of glass. No such task belongs to the modern canner. Deftly she arranges a pint each of strawberries, logans, and both light red and dark red raspberries. At the same time a syrup consisting of half sugar and half water was simmering on a kerosene stove, . As she worked she emphasized the advantages of the aluminum cancer for the demonstrator, and In the home, but she made it plain that a. woman equip ped with a. washboiler or other recep tacle could "do" the same by giving more time in the process to make up for its not being so hot. Even should one be minus a cover for the home cooker, she mentioned the fact that one can be contrived out of blanket and newspa per. Exact time required in all recipes. Tor all kinds of cookers, is given in the Government bulletins on canning work. A steam-pressure canner, of cheaper composition that would put up 14 quarts can be had for nearly the price of the $15 aluminum one that holds only three. The syrup having been poured over the berries, the caps lightly clamped, and each jar resting in the closed re tort, she describes successful vegetable canning. How the yeasts and molds which attack fruits are easily killed by heat at 175 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit in a few minutes, while bacteria which attack vegetables, and especially le gumes, require a temperature of 212 degrees for about four hours or a tem perature of 250 to 260 for 40 minutes. the spores are so persistent. Waste la Cited. Miss Cowgill brought out the idea plainly that there is said to be enough wasted In the United States in one day to feed all the people of the United States for one day. Is it any wonder that the canning clubs are going for ward with such rapidity One point that she made clearer was that peas and corn undergo a chemical change from sugar to starch, until ar rested by heat. To preserve the charm of their delicate flavor one must can soon after picking. The sooner the bet ter. Peas can be graded as to size by running throug a sieve or colander. One was surprised to learn that when whole string beans are packed in a jar there is as much or more than when cut up before filling. - . When the finished cans of berries J were set out on the table one could I even see the down of the perfect fruit I clinging to them; and, the color had been preserved. The words "cold pack" used through the Government literature mean that the fruit or vegetables are packed into the Jar cold, then heated, and. the "hot pack" means that they are hot before being placed in the Jar, then the process continued. Logaoa Are "Parboiled." It seems that in California they are "parboiling" logans. The process is briefer than the name would indicate. They are only dipped, which takes out the excess acid for Jell, leaving the logans with a much milder flavor. Vegetables are blanched or dipped to bring out the extra volatile oils, to take out excess vegetable acids and to bring the color to the surface.' They are as quickly plunged Into cold water to check that flow of coloring matter, lest it be lost. and. to firm them. This blanching saves '.he process called "venting" when tins are used. The commercial !de of canning has not as yet been worked out in Oregon, but young people in other states are earning their educatiou in that way and it Is hoped that in time that part will be improved here. ' ' Miss Cowgill extended a cordial invi tation to any interested to send to Washington. D. C, for information on canning and boys' and girls' clubs. Girls have sewing, baking and can ning, while the boy arc interested in corn, potatoes, the building of bird houses and kindred pursuits. In fact there are 72 subjects of which one may choose any ten. Kcds Object to Gopher Slaughter. MINNEWAUKON, N. D.. June 13 In dians of the Fort Totten Reservation have a real grievance against the Gov ernment. The cause for the complaint is that the Federal authorities are in terfering with their supply of meat. Several weeks ago a force of nine men came to the reservation under orders from the Interior Department to wage a campaign against the gophers. The older Indians, who have for years con sidered the gophers as one of their chief sources of meat supply, have reg istered vigorous complaints. LONG-LOST MAIM IDENTIFIED Punxsutawney Woman Solves Mys tery of 2 6 Years' Standing. . PUNXSUTAWNEW, Pa.. June 11. Death lut solved a mystery of 26 years' standing. The body of Reuben Hilliard. who was thought to have drowned in the Johnston flood on May 30, 18S9. was brought here from Kane, and was identifed by Mrs. Isaac Mitch ell as that of her brother. A letter written 14 years ago to Hilliard by a niece solved the mystery. Hilliard leaves a fortune of several thousand dollars, deposited in the Ridgway Sav ings Bank, to his mother, now 92 years old. Hilliard left his home ir. Clarion County on MJy 15', 1889. for Johnston. Fifteen days later more than 2000 per sons lost their lives in the flood that swept that city, and as time moved on his family became convinced that he had perished. The aged mother, how ever, never gave up hope, at.d 14 years ago, after hearing that a man named Hilliard was working at a chemical plant at Hazlehurst. Elk County, she induced her granddaughter to write to him. Then a return address was placed on the envelope. The letter was not returned, but no word came in answer to it. Just previous to his death ir the Kane Hospital, Hilliard told attend ants that he had no relatives living. After his death his effects at Hazle- hnrst were searched. aniT the letter written 14 years ago, with the returr. address of his sister, Mrs. Isaac Mitch ell, of near Punxsutawney, was found on it. Mrs. Mitchell v.-as informed, and so certain was she that the dead man was her brother that she ordered the body sent here. With her brother, Calior Hilliard, of Walston, Pa., she identifed the body po.sitively. The reason for the long silence re garding Milliard's absence, even, at the approach of death, is not known. It is believed, however, that his experi ence in the great flood unbalanced his mind. He was 52 years old. Death followed an operation for appendicitis. MAN, ROBBED, HANGS SELF Bridcgroom-to-Be Loses .$510 at Kngagement Party. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., June 11. Robbed of $510 which he had saved to win an obstinate father's consent to his marriage, Charles Stanus. 31 years old. of 1332 South Front street, hanged himself recently. Friends broke into his room and faund him dead, hanging from a bedpost. Stankus was engaged to a girl, whose name the police do not know. The girl's father said they should wait until Stankus saved some money. By hard work and patient economy he managed to get together the $510. Last week Stankus carried the roll to his sweetheart's home, counted it out before her father and got his consent. Everything was rosy and the day was set for the wedding. Overjoyed. Stankus invited his friends to his home last Saturday night to an "engage ment party." During the party one of the guests proposed a wrestling bout, and Stankus accepted. After the two men had rolled each other over the floor for a few minutes the guest gave up and left the house. Then Stankus missed his $510. I
