Peel and cut in quarter-inch slic
es a quart of sweet potatoes. Cook
until tender with one pint very
strong ginger tea, a general cup but
ter, three cups of sugar and plenty
of lemon peel. Stew Jtently so that
the slices will not break. Line a
deep pie plate with a rather thick
crust, fill with the potatoes and their
sirup to within an inch of the top,
then cover with a crust with a cross
cut in the center. Turn back each
corner ot the crust and bake with a
moderate heat until the pastry is
done. Ten minutes before servinp-
pour through the hole in the top a
wine sauce made by creaming to
gether one cup butter, two cups
sugar and the juice of a lemon beat
en in a little at a time. -Set the
mixiure over boiling water and beat
in gradually one cup sweet wine.
Stir vigorously to prevent the but
ter separating from the rest of the
ingredients.

The course raced over this morn

Letter to Mother la Ohio.
From the Portland TelefcTm.
There is a prisoner serving a six
months' sentence at Kellev Butte
who should have been a jokewriter
instead ol a petty thief. Had he
applied himself to literature rather
than to sleight-o'-hand trick, he
would no doubt have become a rival
of Mark Twain and Mr. Dooley.
Letters written by prisoucrs at
the Butte are, like epistles penned
by the inmates of other jails, read
before being sent out. This action
s taken by the guards to prevent
any plotting or the giving of infor
mation that might tend to aid un
captured criminal to escape.

Popped Corn and Nut Candy.
Take a tablespoonful of butter,
three of water and one cupful of
maple sugar; boil until it is ready
to candy, and then add three quarts
of nicely popped com. Stir briskly
until the mixture is evenly distrib
uted over the com. Keep up the
stirring until it cools, when each ker
nel will be separately coated.
Close and undivided attention may
be necessary to the success of this
kind of candy. Nuts are delicious
prepared by this method.
According to the result of many
measurements made at the antho-
pological laboratory in Washington
the right arm of human beings is in
a majority of cases longer than the
left arm. while, on the contrary, the
left leg is longer than the right leg.
Sometimes, however, the relative
proportioes are exactly reversed,
but very seldom does perfect equal
ity exist between the two sides.
The tendency of tbe light arm to
exceed the left arm in strength is
somewhat greater in men than in
women, while equality of strength
in the two arms occurs a,most twice
as frequently with women as with
men.

Mr. Baker grew worse and died a
few minutes after the physician ar
rived. For twenty years Mr. Baker had
been in the politics of the state.
He served two terms as state print
er and since his incumbency direct
ed several political campaigns. He
retired last year as chairman of the
state organization. He was always
a republican and when the party in
Multnomah county split into fac
tions, be allied himself with tbe
Mitchell wing. Up to within a few
months ago he was an applicant for
United States Collector of Customs.
Since his retirement be has resid
ed in Portland, eneaeinz in the
commission business. He made a
fortune from the state printing office
and invested it to advantage, so that
he leaves a large estate. Mr Bak
er's judgment on politics was noted
throughout Oregon, since at every
election he laid heavy wagers on the
result
the outcome. He. was the son
W. W. Baker, formerly state food
commissioner and publisher of the
Rural Spirit, on which paper de
ceased worked for many years.
Mr. Baker was one of the best
known printers in the state and was
instrumental in organizing the first
typographcial union in Oregon.
His policy was to pay tne mgnesi
wages to his employes in the state
printing office and he recognized
that it was througn me loyai sup
port of his fellow journeymen at the
case that he was originally elected
and placed on the road to wealtn
and prominence.
Mr. Baker was born m asoinK
ton county in 1854. His parents
emigrated to Oregon in 1853. re
maining in Pornanu uw .j.
the latter year they moved to La
Grande. Union county, where at the
aee of 14. Frank began his printing
cfreer with E. S. McComas. on the
Mountain Sentinel. Alter receiv
ing his card as journeyman printer
I he went to Baker City, where be
worked on the Herald, under Dr.
Boyd. From Baker City lie moved
to Silver City ai d hcM .1 ca-e on
the Avalanche for two years. Mr.
Baker leaves a widow and one
child.
Heroine' Lon jj Delayed Reward.
(Chicago Inter tVeari. 1
Upon the publication of Mrs. Uva
F.raery Dye's graphic narrative ot
the expedition ol Lewis and Clark
to the Pacific Coast the Inter-Oeean
editorially directed attention to the
services of Sacajawca, the heroine
of that famous exploration, aud sug
gested that she should be enrolled
among the nation's notable women.
It was further suggested that the
women of the country should erect
a statue to the Indian woman at the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition at
St. Louis, the starting point of the
expedition of 1S04.
It now appears that the sugges
tion of the Inter-Ocean has leea
taken up in far away Oregon.
Portland is to hold iu 190s a Lewis
and Clark Centennial in celebration
of the Centenary of the first cros
ing of the continent. The women
ot Oregon, Washington. Idaho,
and the Dakotas have taken up the
project of erecting a memorial to
Saeajewea suitable to tne occasiou.
It is proposed to erect a statute to
cost alout 6ooo. it nas wca
thought fitting that the sculptcr
should be a woman and a Western
er, and Miss Alice Cooper, of Colo
rado, has been suggested.
Readers who are laminar wua
that ereat American classic, me
Journal of Lewis and Clark, or who
have enioyed "The Conquest," will
remember Saeajewea and her servi
ces to the explorers. Lewis and
Clark found her in their winter camp
among the Mandacs. She was a
captive Shoshone girl ot 16, and
the slave wife of a French half-breed
interpreter. She would have died
in childbirth had it not been for the
aid ot the explorers. In the spring
she and husband and baby went
West with the party.
When the explorers naa aoan
doned their canoes and were ap
proaching tbe Gates of the Moun
tains they stood face to lace with
failure, because of the lack of

Man.l smoothed the. way through
the Flatheads and the Nez Perces.
Passing over her many services dur
ing the winter spent at the mouth
of the Columbia, it was Sacajawea
who guided the party on the return
trip. She seemed to have the in
stinct of the homing pigeon, and
time and again found the way out
of the wilderness.
Saeajewea understood the impor
tance of the expedition, and was in
earnest for its success as were its
leaders. Her services were great,
if she was not the salvation of Lew
is and Clark. Yet. when and where
she died is not known, and no stone
marks her resting place.
The importance of tbe expedition
of Lewis and Clark is brought strik
ingly to the mind by the tact that
the wilderness through which Sae
ajewea guided them 100 years ago
is now thickly studded with flourish
ing cities that propose to erect a sta
tue to their guide.
The above is re-published for the
information of quite a number of
Eastern friends who have written to
this office asking for the history of
Saeajewea. Ed.
