COME WEST TO GET IT
Whether it be talc for beauty cul
ture or for marble to grace the build
ing turrets overhanging its canyon
like streets, the East comes to the
Pacific Coast and the Southwest to
get it. According to G. X Sielaff,
Southern Pacific's chief geologist,
the company has now compiled a col
lection of over 800 private properties
holding commercial minerals in Ore
gon, California, Utah, Nevada, Ari
zona and New Mexico. Some of the
finest talc for face powders and build
ing marble comparable to the famous
marbles of Italy are available. This
information is made available by the
railroad through various organiza
tions for the benefit of manufactur
ers who are seeking mineral products.
Parties having mineral properties
may list them with the railroad. Two
years ago a preliminary survey was
made of the mineral resources alonj;
the railroad's lines. . The list now
includes nearly all minerals required
by modern manufacturers. Since the
railroad started disseminating the in
formation a large number of deposits
have been opened to development ard
production. The information included
in the list of properties is bein used
by chambers of commerce as we'l as
the railroad in locating industries in
the West.

Ed Averill, state game warden, has
evidence showing conclusively that
game birds are a help rather than a
pest to the farmer. A year's specific
study of Chinese pheasant diet con
ducted by the state game department
of Idaho, has disclosed that any
harm the pheasant might do to crops
is more than offset by the good they
do in the eating of weeds and insect.;.
Corn was found in the pheasant
crop in only two months, Febru:t y
and December. Wheat appeared in
March, August, September and N
vember. Little of the wheat was oili
er than gleanings of the field, it i:;
thought, however, because for the
ivost part it was in hulls.

Governor Patterson's idea of get
ting Oregon out of its present li
imncinl difficulty is to cut deeply in
holding down appropriations, then
scuttle the receipts of all boards and
commissions five per cent, dumping
the proceeds into the general fund.
Well, there's nothing like having a
healthy, thrifty general fund even
though other funds are wrecked to
create it.

ards. SEASONABLE FOODS
There Is probably no meal of the
day where dainty service and pretty
appreciated than
at the morning
meal. We hear
much about
starting the day
right and It Is
very Important.
A hurried break
fast over an untidy table may be the
cause of many of the unhappy experi
ences of life. Start the day right with
a neat table, well-cooked food and a
cheerful smile. Fruit is the first dish
which appeals to most In the morn
ing. Whenever possible fresh green
foliage of the fruit itself Is the pret
tiest garnish. AfLer the fruit comes
the morning cereal. As there are al
ready hundreds of them to cook or
serve uncooked, variety isi always
present. The whole wheat as It
conies from the granary is an Ideal
breakfast food for all ages. Wash It
well and soak overnight, then cook all
day or until every grain is burst and
covered with the gelatinous center of
the grain. Serve with top milk or
cream. A quantity cooked at once
will keep for several days If kept In
a cold place.
Fried Chicken, Southern Style.
Joint a fat young chicken, dredge with
flour, salt and pepper and place on a
platter. In a deep frying pan fry out
n half-pound of bacon, add one cup
ful of lard and when smoking hot lay
In Hie chicken; turn when brown, giv
ing the thicker pieces longer time to
cook. Place on a hot platter and gar
nish with water cress.
Breakfast Muffins. Beat one egg,
add one-half cupful of milk, flour with
two teaspoonfuls of baking powder to
make a soft baiter, then ndd two ta
blespoonfuls of melted butter and pour
Into well-greased muffin tins to bake
In a moderate oven.
Blueberry Cake. Cream a table
spoonful of butter, add one cupful of
sugar and when well blended add two
well-beaten eggs. Pent live minutes,
add a teaspoonful of vanilla, a few
gratings of nutmeg, two teaspoonfuls
of baking powder, sifted with two cup
fuls of flour; ndd a pint of well-lloured
blueberries and bake In a loaf or In

G. W. Rigby & Son last week
slaughtered 150 hogs for bacon at
their reservation ranch. The bacon
brings about 9 cents, and a larger
profit is derived from its disposal at
that price than from the sale oi" hogs
on foot at the present low quotations.
A cold storage house will soon be
erected on William Rigby's ranch on
the Umatilla, and bacon will be kept
on hand all season. Rigby & Son are
building up quite a business.

this type of house affords the utmost in
light and cross-ventllatton, It would be well
to protect it against the extremes of cold
and heat by Insulation with celotex for the
walls and roof. Such Insulation will also
cut down outside noises to a marked de

The living room has the much desired
open fireplace and cleverly arranged book
shelves flanking the entrance to ths dln!ng
