thti stamp of an energetic, prosperous
people. During the parsing of th
days we did not notice the mark ol
events no much, but now as we become
retrospective and go through the pro
cess of summing up we find that great
has been the progress.
Hood River people are entering on
broader activities. They are adjust
ino themselves. There seems to he
entering into business and life in gen
eral a new solidity.
I!ut let us see what has been done
during the past year; things that Hood
River peoplo are interested in. li
May thii valley had a blossom festival
This festival may be said to have had
its stimulus in the agitation over the
Portland-Hood River highway. 'ihe
fete wus given in honor of S. lienson,
the donor of the sum of $10,WI0 to he
expended on the road. The road is
now being built. Hood River county'
portion will soon have become passable
over the entire way to the Multnomah
county lino. " Multnomah county will
begin the way through the scenic east
ern portion of her borders in the
spring. It will be but a short time
until we will be able to celebrate a
New Vear with a completed highway.
Hood River has in its treasury the
funds fur the building of the municipal
water system, Uefore another year
has passed and has been locked in
eternity s chest, Hood River's people
will drink the waters of the new sys
tem. During the past year, owing to the
agitation and work of the Woman's
club, Hood River county has estab
Imhed one of the best county libraries
in the Btato. The year l'JIU will see
the completion of a new., Carnegie home
for the institution.
During the past year Hood River
fishermen have been busy. They have
known the delight of angling in Hood
Kiver streams. The sport wus losing
its pleasures because of the decrease in
game fish. But in two years, even by
the latter part of 11)13, the many
thousands of fmgerlings will have
grown to a size ttiut will give the
Nimrod sport.
iiunusome religious editiccs are
murks of distinction in any city. Dur
ing the past year two of the most
beautiful and best equipped churches
in the stute have been dedicated. And
on the Heights there has been evi
denced a marked progress in religious
thought and tendency of the ago in the
formation of a'federatcd church.
New humes have been built. New
people have come to the community
Moud River has grown.
Aim in a business way progress is
seen. At the beginning of the year
V.H2, the cry was made that Hood
River needed toi age. Now the Hood
River apple shipping agencies havi
better storage facilities than those of
any other north western region.
However, there is yet lots of work to
be done. Roads are to bo built in the
country district. City streets are
be improved. Hut the machinery foi
accomplishing all of these things is
the best of condition. It will be lubri
cated by the feeling of unity of inter
cut unit during the days and months of
l'M'i great advancement shoul
mude.

although it is herrsny to say bo, it is
believed that the trouble lies with the
usual way of cooking it, the way indi

For the benefit of possible future
Barmecides' guests, who might other

'possum "feast," the following differ
ent "possum cookery is offered:
Cook the 'possum in a tarpaulin bag.
The scorching rublier may Jhelp some.
But first rub the meat thoroughly with
cinnamon and oil of cloves. Instead
of sweet potatoes (which should not be
spoiled) put in several onions and
Ilubbard squashes. Cayenne pepper in
sufficient bandfuls to make the gravy
red is essential. Put in a quick oyen
and roast for four hours until done to
a crisp.
When serving be certain to have a
beefsteak and other things on the
table.
The writer of the above has lived in
a country where they grow no persim

anything else Lut 'simmona should
never be placed on a table. However,

T11K IRRIGATION DISTRICT
Irrigation is one of the inert vuluab
asstta of the west. Indeed, 00 per cent
of the wealth of the Pacific coast state
may be traced directly to irrigation
projects. While ninny of the Fast Side
orchardists may not at present use
water on their land, all will admit
that they want it handy and that the
big hast Side ditch is one of their
chief assets. The impracticability
the cooperative system has ben show
by the failure of the Kast Side irriga
tion company. The responsibility for
the failure can't be placed. No one i;
to blame. The sstem itself must
bear the censures.
Such is the nature of the operation
of an irrigation project that it should
be under public control. District irri
(ration control has been found success
ful. Funds are needed for the mainte
nance 'and Improvement of the Kast
Side ditch. The district system offers
the only means of carrying out compre
hensive plans. The Kast Side citizens
have done well to investigate tne con
ditons and they have done letter still
in endorsing the district system.
We read of the "lingerlcsss pick
pocket" recently. Last week we heard
of an "al.i.ost footless pedestrian" in

is walking from Spokane to San Francisco.

YOUR AMBITION.
Have You a Clear Cut Idea of th Ob
ject of Your Desire?
Several years ago. w hen 1 HI led a po
sition which brought uio many visitors
euet) day and many more letters at the
same time, 1 was overburdened with
requests for advice from persons who
wished "to succeed," "to accomplish,"
"to attain." But, as strange as the
statement may seem to you, I can
truthfully say that not one in a hun
dred of these earnest seekers was able
to state exactly what he or she really
wunted.
They were dissatifled and discontent
ed and felt the vague urge of uurest
pushing them forward to further en
deavor and attainment, but it stopped
right there. Ninety-nine out of every
hundred did not know what they want
ed. They naked nut ouly for advice
regarding the means of accomplish
ment and attainment, but also for in
formation as to what they should real
ly desire.
"Silly," you exclaim. Not a bit of It
1 veuturetosny that you yes, you who
are now reading these lines are not
much better off regarding clear cut
ideas and ideals. You want nnd want
and want, of course, but just what do
you want? Have you n clearly defined
idea and a cleur-cut ideal of the ob
ject of your desire? Ilouor bright now,
have you?-William Walker Atkinson

ORIGIN OF A FRENCH DISH.
The Order Michelet Received and the
Way He Filled It.
The names bestowed upon certain
dishes have often an origin entirely dis
tinct from technical consideration.
This ls true of the well known epi
grammcs d'agneau a la Michelet ot- a lu
Toulouse, as It was more frequently
called. Michelet was the cook of a
young French maniulse of the century
who was noted for her lack of eduea
tion.
, On a certain occasion she gave a din
ner to the otflcers of the regiment
Choiseul-Cavalerie. During the func
tion her guests spoke of a banquet that
they bad attended on the previous
evening, at which the host had enter
tained them with-many new and bril
liant epigrams. The maniulse supposed
that "epigrams" referred to culinary
surprises. Consequently she summoned
Michelet, her cook, and ordered him to
prepare some epigrams for dinner on
the following day.
Michelet was greatly troubled as to
how he was to obey the order. He recol
lected, however, that he had In the
larder some very superior lamb. He
braised the breast removed the bones,
cut the meat into pieces and bread
crumbed and fried them. He then
cooked the cutlets, arranged them on u
dish alternately with the braised breast
aud served them with a suitable gar
nish under the name of epigrammes
d'agneau a la Michelet, by which name,
or a la Toulouse, the concoction has
since been known.
The Tongues of the Balkans.
Too many languages are spoken in
the Balkans. A traveler In that reglou
writes of the babel: "Turkish, Bulga
rian, Serbo-Croatian. Roumanian, Ar
menlan, Greek. Albanian, Kulzo Wal
lacblnn, Chlugeul, the language of the
gypsies; Spaniole, the language of the
Jews of Spanish or Portuguese descent,
and the language spoken by the Ger
man, Austrian, Roumaulan and Rus
sian Jews. Add to this Arabic, Persian
and Syrian, largely spoken in Coustan
tinople; Italian, on the northeast const
of the Adrla; Russian, In the northeast
ern parts of Roumania; various Austro
Hungarian idioms spoken in Bosnia
and Herzegovina and the Caucasian
languages of the Circassians aud Geor
gians." Not one of these languages ls
of common use.
EIGHTEENTH CENTURY LIFE.
A Bath Was a Matter of Some Moment
In Those Days.
These brief extracts from the letters
of Elizabeth Montagu, the "queen of
the bluestockings," throws a curious
light on eighteenth century life in Eng
land. She was suffering from a swell
ed Up. Promptlythe greut Dr. Mead
prescribed a blister to her back. She
writes:
"1 am better than I was; but, my
mouth not being yet perfectly reduced.
I have got a fresh blister upon my
back. Well may It bend with such a
weight of calamities I bare sent for
my bathing clonthes and oti Sunday
night shall take a sou.e. I think it n
pleasant remedy "
Apparently In 17-1 1 a lady could nut
take a bath even on Siinibiv nlelit nnd
in the privacy of her chamber without
her "bathing clonthes "
Mrs Montagu writes again: "My Hp
Is not entirely reduced, though I have
been blistered twice, once tilooded and
have five times taken physic, have
lived upon chicken and white meats
and drunk nothing but water. I have
suffered great disappointment about
the warm bath which I am advised to
try, for the bathing tubs are so out of
order that we have not yet teeti able
to make them hold water."-Westminster

A Vicious Fish.
In South America there is a small
fish that not only attacks Its fellows
of the sea and river, but is greatly
dreaded by the natives, who during
certain seasons have to ford the
streams in which the carbltos are
found. Bathers are often attacked by
them, the sharp, chisel shnped teeth
taking a bit from the flesh wherever
they attack. They are perfect scaven
gers, eating the animals that float
down the river dead or alive.
