A FINANCIAL SQUEEZE.
The Oregon Improvement Company In tha
llauds of a lto-elver.
The month of November, 1890, will long
be renumbered in the financial centers
of the world as one ot danger and
disaster. Not a great number of leading
houses failed, but many trembled on the
brluk of ruin and many made heavy sac
rifices to save themselves. A number ot
banks and business houses failed in va
rious parts of America, and runs were
made by scared depositors on many
more which were able to withstand the
attacks. The center ot disturbance was,
ot course, In Wall street, New York, but
it was felt all over the world. In Buenos
Ayres gold went up to over 200 per cent
premium and Nov. 26 the government
forbade the publication of quotations. It
was said to have reached 300 premium
that afternoon, but was easer the next
day.
In Europe the feature of the season
was the collapse ot Baring Brothers, the
great London backers. They were the
financial agents of Russia, and in re
taliation for that country's persecution of
the Jewia the Je wish bankers made an on
slaught on the firm which it could not
withstand. A syndicate was formed
which took the business, but on such
terms that the Barings must par l 20
on the dollar it they ever get it back.
A large amount of gold was trans
ferred from San Francisco to New York
to relieve the stress there, and the sec
retary of the federal treasury contrib
uted to the same end by liberal purchases
ef silver and government bonds.
The Oregon Improvement company
was unable, on account ot the stringency
ot the money market in New York, to
borrow money which it needed, and an
nounced that it would default payment
of both interest on its first-mortgage
bonds and its sinking-fund obligation.
The company's business was thrown into
the hands of a receiver Nov. 25, Joseph
Simon being appointed. The company
owns 2333 acres or coal land ana 9uuu
acres ot agricultural and timber land in
Washington and Oregon, including coal
mines at Franklin and Newcastle, Wn,
and Coos bay, Or. It also owns two blocks
of land in San Francisco, a half interest
in the Throssel water ditch in Washing
ton, thirteen steamers, leased to the Pa
cific Coast steamship company, 19,000
shares of that company's stock. 13.704
shares In the raeille Coast railroad,
which runs twenty-six miles from Port
Harford to" Los OIlvos, 10,000 shares in
the Columbia and Puget sound rail-
vay, which runs twenty miles from
Seattle to the Newcastle coal mines, with
a branch twenty-three miles long, known
as the Cedar River extension, and 3000
shares ot the Seattle Coal and Transpor
tation company. It leases wharves and
coal bunkers at Oakland, Cal, and Port
land and Astoria, Or, and owns 4J0 town
lots at Preseott, Wn.
The company holds, as security for
advances, the entire stock of the Seattle
and Northern railroad and the Port
Townsend Southern railroad and $335,-
000 of the par value of the Olympia and
Chehalls Ya'ley railroad company. It
owes about $7,000,000 and its property is
estimated at $10,000,000.

"The Bareheaded Forger Caught.
" The bareheaded forger " is in limbo.
For years he hss operated on this coast
and in the Mississippi basin. He would
rush into a business house, bareheaded
and coatless, with a pen behind his ear,
and present a draft on a bank bearing the
name of a firm located next door and
ask that it be cashed as an accommoda
tion to the next-door business house.
Supposing him to be ' the neighbor's
bookkeeper, the person applied to would
hand over the money, only to find, on
presenting the draft when the bank
opened, that it was a forgery. He usu
ally got $63 at a haul, and sometimes he
cleared $200 in a day, as he did at San
Jose. His name is Julius K. Dillman and
he has a father and brother at Pasadena.
He traveled under the name of George
E. Curtis and was arrested at San Fran
cisco Nov. 25, having come back from a
professional tour of the east to make a
second season on this coast. A full out
fit for a forger and a lot of forged
checks were found in his room.
Mra. Htanton In England.
The following Is a small part ot an ad
dress given by the president, Mrs. Eliza
beth Cady Stanton, at the opening ses
sion of the National American Womnif
Suffrage convention in Washington, Fob.
18:
When I was last in England, a daugh
ter of the great statesman, John Bright,
Invited me to her house to spend a few
days, as she proposed to have a parlor
meeting and wished me to tell her f i tends
the status of our cause in America,
"But," said she, "I want you to bo very
careful as to what you say. You must
remember we have municipal suffrage
for widows and spinsters, but not for
married women; so say nothing about
them. Don't say anything about mar
riage or divorce, nor the Bible, for our
people are not prepared for any radical
ideas." I was so afraid that I might get
outside the narrow limits that I said,
"The best thing is for you and your
friends to ask questions, and thus keep
me on the line yoi desire." That was
agreed on. and after I had talked about
fifteen minutes on the condition of women
in America, one of the reverend gentle
men present asked if the sphere we pro
posed for women was in harmony with
the teachings of the Bible. I said our
Bible, like our constitution and statute
books, was susceptible of various inter
pretations, but its general principles or
juitlce, liberty and equality, illustrated
In the characters of such grand, women
as Huldah, Deborah, Vashtl and Esther,
fully warranted women in assuming all
honorable positions In the college, the
state, or at the head ot the army. As
they listened apparently with Interest to
my commentaries, I gave them the most
favorable view for our movement that
can be drawa from the scriptures. I
made no reference to Paul's epistles, nor
to the contemptuous disposition of every
thing oi the feminine species In the
Pentateuch.
When the audience dispersed, my host
ess said: "I am afraid you shocked these
Chrlstaln people; they never heard such
latltudlnarian ideas before."
-Well," said 1, "perhaps it is time
they did hear them. For my part, I like
to rouse people to some new thought,
even if at first It does shock them." As
Mrs. Margaret Lucas ( a elster of John
Bright ) who has just passed away, was
of our party, we talked by the fireside
late that eight as to the wisdom ot utter
ing the highest truth we saw aa oppor
tunity offered. The next momiug, to my
surprise, the Methodist minister tailed to
invite me to occupy his pulpit in the
afternoon, and give exactly what I said
the previous evening. I accepted the
invitation.
When Mrs. Clark and Mrs. Lucas re
turned from church, I told them of my
afternoon engagement. " Why," they
exclaimed, "that will never do; the min
ister will lose his place ; the general con
ference would reprimand him severely
for allowing so heretical a teacher to
preach in his pulpit!" "Well," said I,
"go and tell him what you think; I will
not be offended If he reconsiders the
invitation." She returned, saying he was
quite determined. Bo I gave my Bible
argument, and the congregation received
it with enthusiasm. The women were
particularly pl.ased to hear that they
were not an afterthought in the creation ;
that they were not the authors of sin,
from the beginning iu collusion with the
devil; that maternity was not intended
as a curse, nor marriage necessarily a
condition ot slavery. The minister wrote
me a letter afterwards telling me how
much pleased his people were with all I
had said. Here is an evidence of how
little we can judge of what the people
are ready to hear, and of the wisdom of
uttering at all times the highest truth we
see.

A Fasting Woman.
Mrs. Adam Wuchter ot Whitehall, Pa,
is , afflicted with some disease of the
throat and cannot swallow and on
Thanksgiving day had been 235 days
without food. She had failing health
and medical attendance from 1880 to
March 6. 1880, when she had cut a slice
of bread and buttered it and attempted
to eat, but found difficulty in swallowing.
This continued for weeks and she found
it necessary to have her food moistened
before she could swallow It. April ,
1890, she experienced so much pain in
attempting to swallow softened bread
that she had to ive it up, and her hus
band declares that since then she has
not taken as much food or water as
would last him three days.
Opinion is divided as to whether the
couple are deceiving the public, or the
woman is deceiving her husband and
the public, or the case is genuine.

Mrs. Langrez was taken to the hospital
Mrs. Merrill called with two lawyers and

Mrs. Merrill, dined with the latter and
immediately after was taken violently

coffee, but Mrs. Merrill insisted that she
should be given brandy and declared
that she was a habitual drunkard and

Creamed Cabbage. Chop fine one smal
head of cabbage, add salt to taste and
water enough to just cover it after it
wilts. Boil until the cabbage is tender,
and if the water boils away at the last,
all the better. When it is tender, add
one and one-half cups ot milk, and butter
size of an egg. Let it boil up and serve
at once. Do not let It boil much after
the milk has been added, or the salt will
curdle the milk.
Apple Salad. Take six apples, four
tablespooniuls or powdered sugar, one
fourth teaspoon! ul of cinnamon, one gill
of sherry. Pare, core and cut the apples
into very thin slices. Put a layer of
these slices in the bottom of a glass dish,
8prinkt i them with the sugar and a little
cinnamon, then another layer ot apples,
and so continue until all Is used. Four
the wine over, and stand away In a cold
place for one hour, and it la ready for
use.
Apples Fried. Peel and core sour apples,
then divide them into eighths, and
sprinkle them with sugar, flour and
bread-crumbs. Cover the bottom cf a
stew-pan with a small piece of butter;
when melted cover It with slices of
apples, and fry --ellow on both sides.
When done place in a saucepan soiue
milk, sugar, bread-crumbs and currants;
put the iried apples in and let taem boil
up without breaking. Serve hot with the
sauce left In the saucepan.
Banana Pie. Doubtless there will be
more bananas eaten during this fall and
winter than in any previous season,
owing to the scarcity of other fruit. A
friend lately gave us this recipe for banana
pie, which we find a pleasant change
from the fresh fruit: Take two large
bananas, peel and rub them through a
colander, add one pint of milk, two heap
ing teaspoonfuls of sugar, two eggs and
a pinch of salt. Bake this in one crust
like a pumpkin pie.
Apricot or Peach Salad. Pare, cut the
apricots or peaches in halves, and re
move the stones. Arrange the halves
neatly iu a bowl, with the stone sides
up; then pour over them the following
fruit salad dressing : Four tablespoonruls
of sugar, one gill of sherry, one table
spoonful of maraschino and two table-
spoonfuls of champagne. All these in
gredients should be mixed together and
stirred until the sugar is dissolved. After
the fruit salad dressing has been added,
stand in a cold p:ace one hour, and
serve.

Into a very bright and clean copper
basin, place it on the lire, and, when it
boils, stir in sufficient sifted flour to
make a medium stiff dough: when cold,

A Creamery Combination.
In the Farmer and Homes for Oct. 4,
under the head ot the dairy, Mr. Moso
ley of Iowa, in his article, quotes from
a letter written to him by a Franlin
county (Vt.) dalrymun concerning the
situation in that part ot the etitto. I
think that a little elaboration, at h-iint,
should be added to what hits already
been said hi order that the matter inty
be understood more clearly. There aro
In this county eight or ten creameries,
each doing busbies distinct from the
other. Separators are employed la tli
business. Tnere are from two to eight
connected with each creamery scattered
about In different localities. The cream
from these branch srparnlors, or "feed
ers," as they ore termed, hi transported
to the creamery aud there put Into
shape for market. There are perhaps 25
of these separators in this eouuty so
employed. These creameries have been
In operation some live years, have done
an exteutlve business aud the product ts
well kuown in the markets. To make
this branch of dairying more 8UcetsfuI
a now move is being Inaugurated. It is
the consolidation of these different
creamerk-s under one management, to
be known as the " Franklin County
Creamery Association." The location of
me separators may be changed some
what so as to place theui at the nni
eligible points to accommodate the farm
ers aud get the required iiui.'iber of cow.
The cream Instead ot being made into
butter at all of the creameries as now,
will be transported to some cuutral
point and there manufactured.
Now as to some of the advantage?
that are to be derived from this move;
First will be the lessening of the cost of
making the butter; becoud, by having
Uie most approved facilities and em
ploying the best skill it is confidently
expected that a more uniform and bet
ter product can be obtained which, put
up in attractive style and In such hap
as the market requires and delivered to
consumers Iu the quickest possible time,
will naturally command the highest
prices. Last, but not least, will be the
ability to pay the farmer more for his
milk. This wilt be a stock company
with sufficient capital to operate it su
certsfu!ly. There are good men connected
with this enterprise who will work faith
fully for its success. It U also highly
commended by thos-j capable of judging
as a move iu the right dlrectiua. Nearly
all of these creamery men are faitneia
and dairymen. They commenced on a
small scale iu thli business aud have
worked It up to large proorUous. One
of them reached the Kiut -of 19,000
pounds of butter a week the present
season, and others have made aa hUjh as
louo to 1200 pounds a day.
If any of the patrons are so di4poeed
they can become stockholders In the
business and thus make it co-opwrative
ou their port, but this will be entirely
optional with them. It is not exiected
all dairymen will patronize this creauicty
association, nor that it will control the
dairy business of the county. It will be
the endeavor, however, to put the busi
ness upon such a basis and present such
inducements to the farmers that they
will quite generally find it for tiu'ir ad
vantage to patronlzo It. Of course if
any can do better by working up his
milk at home ho will contiuuo to do It.
To make the creamery t success it
must have the milk aud the furmcn
must furnish It. They" will not be boui.d
In this case, nor run any risks in the
matter, so it will be seen that they must
be dealt fairly by or their patronage cau
not be retained. It is expected to make
butter the jear round Instead of, as now,
tor only six months, bo there must
necessarily bo winter dairying on the
part of some. The milk will be paid for
according to its value for butter the
only true way and it Is probable this

Arsenic Srays and 1.
Several Eastern nuiserles have, during
tlio past year or two through their cat
alogues, advised the public to use arsenic
sprays for curcullo, while the trees wore
in bloom. This may bo well enough
where f'ere are no bees to gather honey
from the blossoms, but apiculturlsts
claim that the generat practice of this
method would result disastrously to the
bees, which leave everything for the or
chards when the trees aro In bloom. Not
only would many bees bo killed outright,
but a proportion of arsenic would be im
parted to the honey. Just, how much
can only be ascertained by careful ex
experlments. Sooner or later, the "lit
tle Turk " curculio will Invade Califor
nia. It Is well to be forehanded with
the uneradlcable post when it comes.
We should also care for our bees.
Neither the curculio nor codliu moth
can attack the fruit until after tho blos
soms have fallen, and it would seem
that then would be, the best time to
apply arsenic sprays California Fruit

Many doubts are being raised in the
minds of our fruitgrowers as to the ad
vlsabilitv or desirability in any event
of caprif ying figs in California. A Fre no
grower states as his reason ior uisoeiier
in the method that the process will not
give the fig any better flavor, because
if it had been so the ancients would not
have dropped the method simply for the
reason, that the capriuoa ngs naa
worse navor. uapruicauon uoes not,
cause tho flir to drop when mature, be
cause the fig, without cnprltlcation, drops
when it is ripe. Caprtticatiou will not
assist in curing, or prevent acidification
because the curing and souring are due
entirely to causes outside of the tig it
self. It is yet impossible to state
whether caprificatlon will increase the
size of the tig or not. This can only be
determined after a thorough te- has
been made. California Fruit Grr

It is not verj often that an American
visits the little town of Jiddah, on the
Arabian coast of the Red Sea; yet,
everj tear, as the sacred season of the
Iledjaz comes around, hundreds of
thousands of devout Mussulmans are
disembarked at its little harbor, intent
on making a pilgjrimajre to Mecca,
which insures to them the happiness
and honor of paradise. It was Dot
with any intention of attempting to
visit the' tomb of Mohammed and to
faze on the mysterious "Kaaba1 that
took sail one moonlit night from
Suakim. and crossed the turbulent Red

tomb of Eve, mother of all mankind,
writes a correspondent of the N. Y.
llr.raUL
The country presents a very sterile
appearance, there being but little vege
tation. A few date palms are dotted
alwut, and away to the west, in the di
rection of Mecca, groups of stunted
acacia trees render the prospect
less barren. The approach to the
tomb is up a sandy slope, rising abent
200 feet above the town. The grave
itself is 1G0 feet loug and 5 feet wide,
and is surrounded by a stone wall 4 feet
high, covered with chntiam. In the
ceuter of it rises a sm;i!l dome-crowned
mosque, wherein pilgrims assemble to
say their prayers. The mosque Is in
charge of some dervishes, who have
plenty' to do h keeniujr it clear of beg

except that in the renter is erected aa
altar. This stands aliont three feet
high and Is covered with curtain. The
curtains leing drawn aside disclosed a
black stone let into the floor.
The stone i-t fipiaed to lie directly

but he knew noue, and asked: "Where

It is certainly curious that legendary
lore should select spots so distaut from
each other for the graves of our first
parents. While Eve rests on the shores
of the Red Sea, Adam is popularly sup
posed to lie buried under the forest-

Two sweet girl graduates went forth
to walk in the woods. In their holiday
mood all roads were one to tbem, and
wheu thev came to a cross-road they
turued into it- A hnnter who happen
ed to be standing; near spoke to them
' Don't take that road voang women,
he said: "it isn't safe."
Why isn't it safe?" asked the sweet

'-Because a bear has lately gone op
that way.
'How do vou know that? Did you
ie the Itear?"
' No, I didn't see him; but there
his trail; and the hunter pointed
some foot-prints on ti.e ground.
The girl gnulntes carefully examined
the tracks, antl said one to the o;hen
"They don't look like the prints of a
bear's paws. Do you think they are?
"Don't believe him," said the other.
"I don't think they look a bit like bear
tracks."
"Do you know a bear trail when yon
see it?" queried the hqnter.
"If you mean the prints of a bear's
paws on the ground," said one of the
girl graduates, with a lofty air, "I aro
sure any ono could tell what they
would look like."
Did you ever see the tracks of a
bear?" repeated the hnnter.
No," replied the girl graduate. "but
natural history gives us the conforma
tion of a bear's paws, and - the com
monest mental operation would teach
us from that what their tracks would
look like. I don't think these look the
least like the footprints of a bear. Bears
have claws, and there are no marks of
claws here."
"Who ever heard of a bear without
claws?" said the other girl graduate,
with a withering glance at the hunter.
"What kind of tracks be they, then.
miss?" asked the hnnter.
"Indeed I don't know," returned one
of the sweet girl graduates, snpercili-
ouslv. They certainly . are not the
tracks of a Itear."
-Besides," added the other sweet
girl graduate, "who ever heard of bears
walking along roads?"

well as words was limited, and he said
nothing. Tho sweet girl graduates
went on their way.

masticated beyond identity were their
tongues, which, finding tough.the bear
