beating the liner Umatilla by two
hours, although the latter ship left
Seattle a day earlier than the Viv
toria. The Victoria was the first ves
sel of the Nome fleet to enter Ber
ing Sea and maintained her lead. The
Senator, from San Francisco, arrived

AN ANCIENT CLIFF CITY.
Ths Ruins at Its Primitive Dwellings
' In Wslnut Canyon.
Walnut canyon. nesy Klugstaff, Arts..
contains some of the most Inter
eating ruins on the continent. The
canyon Itself is remarkable. being a
thousand fggt deep, n quarter mile In
width at the top and a few hundred !
feet at the l>ottom. The sides do not |
rise up In gentie slopes, but leap up
ward, tier upou tier, a giant limestone j
stairway Here were conditions that |
appealed to primitive man. The j
e.,oih shelf or ledge formed a floor,
c projecting rock a celling. the slot*
u rear walls. Ilf bad but to |
. w tip fr 2:t and side walls and a j
v,sis completed, with a floor that i
.touid never wear out and a roof that j
would never leak.
It Is estimated that tliere are at least
a thousand of these primitive dwell
lugs in the Walnut canyon. There Is
but a single entrance to this cliff city.
The trail leads over the face and down
the sides of the cliff and on through
the ruins of one of these houses. When
the walls of this building were stand
Ing It completely filled the width of
the ledge. As no one could enter with
out passing through this bouse or gate
way, one man, armed with a primitive
atone ax. might well have stood off an
army.
All articles of furniture have been
carried away, but there are atlll traces
of a fireplace, and the blackened cell
ing tells of Its long occupancy. In the
ashes and litter have been found bro
ken pieces of pottery—red, black and
gray—decorated in colors and with pat
terns displaying their artistic tastes
In smaO pockets, dug out in the rear
walls and carefully sealed up. are still
occasionally found pieces of doth of
hemp and liber of yucca, corncobs,
squash sheila, beans, etc.—Exchange.
REAL DOUGHNUTS.
The Genuine Old Time Cake Never Had
a Hole In It.
Why will some persons persist In
speaking of the boles in doughnuts?
The real, genuine article never had a
bole In It My memory goes back to
1840 and earlier, and my boyhood ex
perience extended over a good part of
Fairfield, Litchfield and New iiaveu
counties. Conn., and Westchester coun
ty. N. Y., up to 1850. Our mothers at
that time are to be regarded as the
best authority on old fashioned Amer
lean cookery.
The doughnut of that period consist
ed of bread dough raised overnight,
with bop meal cakes, or "emptins,”
sweetened with brown sugar, short
ened a little and fried to a rich brown
in leaf lard and were somewhat larger
than a goose egg and about the same
shape. These were known among the
old Dutch New Yorkers and are de
scribed in Barber's “History of New
York,” published about 1840.
“Wonder cakes" were similar, with a
little more shortening and sweetening.
The dough was rolled about three
quarters of an Inch thick, cut into
squares of three inches, with three
slits, which were pressed apart into
a fantastic shape, and were the idol
ized Sabbath day lunch, eaten under
the maple tree or the burse shed be
tween the morning and afternoon serv
ices.
1 first remember crullers twisted and
with holes when I came to New York
in 1854. The very name of dough
nut is suggestive of a round or oval
Bhaped article.—C. P. Benedict in New
York limes.
Why Disease Is Caused by Fear.
An eminent medical authority once
made the statement that a great deal
of contagion is due largely to nervous
apprehension and fear. Terror causes
radical changes In the secretions and
nerve cells, and while the possibility is
not the direct cause of disease It cer
tainly Is sufficient to put the person in
the proper condition to be attacked by
the prevailing malady.
It is a well understood fact that ex
cessive anger Infuses a toxic element
Into the secretions, i'ear destroys the
resistive capability and, as It were, lets
down the drawbridge and makes way
for the enemy. •
Spanish Meat Balls.
Spanish meat balls are as palatable
as they are rare and made thus: One
can of tomatoes, one onion chopped
fine, garlic or cayenne to taste. This
forms the ‘’Spanish.” One and a half
pounds of hamburg steak. Soak half
a loaf of stale bread; drain off all Wa
ter. Take one egg. pepper and salt to
taste, mix together, roll Into balls the
else of an egg and cook in the “Span
lab” three-quarters of an hour.
Posset.
The proper meaning of the word
“posset,” frequently used In Lan
casbire, England, is a drink taken be
fore going to bed. Originally it was
milk curdled with wine and comes
from the Latin posea, meaning a drink
made with vinegar and water.
Highly Necessary.

ernment with a big G?”

government without a capital.”—Balti

. I
Both are artists in their respective
lines, but we pride ourselves in
“Printing just a little bit better” I
than you expect. This is the reason
why most of the best printing is
done by us. Service, first, quality al
ways, as you want it and when you 1
want it, is what we give you.
We never copy but are known as I
originators of High Class Printing.
Let us estimate on your next (
order. We are always glad to
submit as many designs as de
sired.
