rery simple and are easily aud quick
ly prepared. They may be made of
either brown or white bread, or with
tbe lower layer of brown and tbe up
per of white bread and butter. For

tblnest and orispest ceUry shoot

Home-Made Ice Hoi.
Get a strong box of the ilze you
wish for your chest, aud another
about three inches largei each way.
Place the smaller one inside tbe laig
er, and paok tbe space between close
ly with sawdust. Make a partition
io the small box and keep ice in one
aide resoiving tbe other for tbe food
ohamboi. both boxes should have
binged lids, aud the smaller lid
should be well padded, to prevent
.beat and dust fiom entering. Place
tbe box ou castors and make a small
opening in one corner to allow the
water to escape.
Moist Cuke Filling-.
Io make a cake filling that will not
easily dry out, use a cupful of chop
ped raisins, or halt nuts aud halt
raisins, to one egg white and bait a
cap of powdered sugar. Mix the egg
and sugar without beating tbe white
separately, and odd tbe raisins, and
a few drops of vanilla. This does
not dry out nearly as fast as if a
boiled tilling were used.
Individual Slio tcakes.
These are a little prettier than
where the piece is out from one large
cake. Make a rioh biscuit dough,
aud cut as for extra size biscuits.
When baked out open quickly with a
bot knife and spread with butter aud
plenty of mashed and well sweetened
strawberries. Iben put on tbe top,
heap sweeten, d whipped cream on it
and add oue ot the cboioes berries to
the orown. Additional whole berries
may be heaped around the base.
Many use a plin cake recipe for tbe
small cakes instead of tbe biscuit
dougb.
Keep Him Ont.
You can put a mat in front of every
plats, but you can't make a fly wipe
bis feet before he walks on your food.
The only safe course with regard to
the fly ia to exclude him trom the
house. His place is out-doors. Get
your screens in early, and avoid the
rush of flies.

Report of City Engineer.
Last week a report was circulated
that an nl it well connected with the
water system on tbe heights, was full
of suckers. H. V JJavldsou waB asueu
for au explanaticn and kindly volun
teered to bo end take any number ol
interested parties on tbe heights to
investigate tbe cause of the tumor,
poiut out tbe sonico of the water sup
olv and show that tbe reicrt was
without foundation..
Accordingly on Tuesday mornine.
May 19, Messrs Davi isen. Gill.
Trainer, Wiker, CbHpmau Bud myfolt
made a visit to the source of tbe sys
tem. We iound that the pipe drain
ing that part of the land la-.ked 100
yaids ot reaching the well. The loca
tion of the pipes supplying I be water
as pointed out and it uma fiuud
that they did not have any source of
contamination nor drain tbe ponds or
boggs in tbe vicinity, which rrnuor
charged were so drained. We next
visited the two storage well" ot ti e
company and found the-e perfectly
clean and so constructed that tiiey are
almost air tight, cased Horn tbe bot
tom twenty teec or more down with
concrete wslli, oue of them also lined
with board. The well weie cl.au
and sweet, perfectly dry, except at
tbe bottom, showing therein no seep
age of surface wat-r into tbe !!,
tbe curb or month of the wells being
a Toot or more higher than tbe general
surface surroauding the wells; the
wells being protected by almost air
tigbt ooveriogs, so that it wouid be
almost impossible for water to flow
into tbe wells from tbe top, or for
dirt or other Impurities t0 blow Io.
Ibis is the Hrt time there bad been
n opportunity to examine properly
tbe system One closet complained
of is about sixty feet from tbi well, ia
clean and dry, only used in tbe berry
season and provided with a metal re
ceptacle which can be removed if nec
essary. Another oloset, 200 feet away,
is provided with tbe same kind of
tuetal recepticle. The inspection of
tbe source of watei satisfied me that
tbe water supply on the heights, from
sanitary standpoint, Is all right and
as wholesome as can be secured io tbe
near vicinity of Hood River, provided
the arraugemeuts now in use are look
ed after and kept up.

Waller Damrosch Comes to Portland.
No musical event ever held iu tbe
northwest will approach in import
ance tbe three concerts to be given
at thn Armnrc ill Fnrtlmid on Wed
nesday evening, June 3,and Thursday
afternoon ana evening, june t, wueu
Walter Damrosch will conduct bis fa
mous orchestra through the splendid
programs already arranged for in
this great musical treat.
Although only foity-four years old
Mr. Damrosch has been spreading
the gospel of musio iu America for
over twenty years. His lite work may
be summed up as au extraotdiuarily
successful effort to make high class
music popular, and certainly no
other conductor in America has done
so much to popularize the work-i of
Richard Wagner. As h conductor
Damrosch is full of verve aud virility
but at tbe same time he is most dig
nified and scholarly.
The coming ot the New YorK Sym
phony Oiobestra to Portland at the
same time mat special raies uu an
railroads will be iu effect for the Rose
Festival will pieent a hitherto un
equalled opportunity to henr some
of tbe finest music by one of tbe
world's best orchestias, aud tbe con
certs promise to be as great a social
success as tbey will be a musical event
tor Mr. Damrosch holds such a biRb
social positioii and has such a broad
acquaintance that it is but fitting
that his welcome be a cordial one.
Beside the full strength of tbe
splendid orchestra Mr. Damrosch will
have tbe famous soprauo, Mme. Mary
Hissem de Moss, who makes her tlrst
west'rn tour under Mr. Damroscb,
and also all of his instrumentalists
who will vary the programs with ex
ceptionally beautiful bits of violin
and 'oello solo work. All of the three
programs to be presented h re Iu
Portland will be the best work of tbe
master musician. The three concerts
will be held in tbe Armory and will
