THK MOTfNTNG OREGONIAIT, SATURDAY, JANUARY 4, 1908. 11 BT LILIAN TINGLE. COLUMBIA RIVER smelt, which have been rather high in price; are down now to 8 or 30 cents per pound, or three pounds for 25 cents, so that even the most economically minded housekeeper may indulge in them. Learn to bone them, if you don't already know the trick. For frying in deep fat, they are easier to handle and more attractive for service if bent in a circle with the tall through the eyes unless, of course, they are1 very small. An easy style of prepar ing them, so that they "eat good," hot or cold, is to pack them, sardine-fashion. In a shallow baking dish the brown fire proof kind Is good, cover them with a discreet mixture of vinegar and spices or white wine (If you use it) and bake in a moderate oven. BernalBe sauce is good If you serve them hot; or mayonnaise and lemon siloes, if cold. But there are other fish In the market besides smelt fine tyee trout at 20 to. 25 cents per pound; stripped bass at the same price; salmon and catfish, 15 cents per pound; tomcod, black cod, halibut, all about 124 cents per pound ; and fresh her ring 10 cents. Both Eastern and Califor nia lobsters are to be had, the former at 60 cents and the latter at 25 cents per pound, and shrimps, clams and crabs as usual. ' There was nice fresh salmon roe at 10 cents per pound from which a number of dainty dishes can be concocted. I know one woman who has a method of making a sort of imitation caviare, which is much esteemed by her family and friends. If you are looking for an "egg substi tute" for breakfast try some of the newly arrived "Finnan haddies" at 20 cents per pound. It is almost a National Scottish breakfast dish, and good either broiled or creamed and in any other way. Wild geese are again to be had at about 75 cents each, and snipe at 25 cents each, or 45 cents per pair. Turkey costs about 27 cents per pound and chicken about 20 cents.. There are good pigeons just now at about $1.25 per dozen. As for fruit, the list is nor a very long one, but much can be done with good oranges and apples, bananas, ried fruits and nuts. Oranges range In price from 15 to 50 cents per dozen. Ooad cooking apples from COO per box and tfancy ap ples from $1.50 up. Pineapples -were good at 40 cents each, and there weve some nice Malaga grapes at 30 cents. There are still a few persimmons at SO 'cents per dozen and aligator pears at 5 cents each. Ordinary pears are about 2a cents per dozen but not specially attractive. There are also good cranberries and rather sad looking huckleberries. 3thu barb is 15 cents per pound. Green beans, wax beans, green peas, egg plant And tomatoes are all 20 cents per pound. Cau liflower costs 15 to 20 cents each and Hot house cucumbers 25 cents each. After all the extra rich eating and drinking incidental to Christmas and New Tear celebrations, many people who ara not regular vegetarians are inclined to say with Wordsworth "The common growth of Mother Earth suffices me," ' and adopt for a while a somewhat plain diet in which meats and sweets play subordinate parts. ' In such cases the housekeeper will do well to turn her at tention to the delicate serving not only of varied and well planned salads, but also of "dressed" vegetables and meatleBS vegetable stews and soups In which very delicious flavors can be brought out by a wise combination of materials. The plain "soup vegetables" can be glorified In several ways. Oyster plant, celery root, artichokes, different kinds of squash and cabbage for stuffing, spinach, leeks, Brus sels sprouts, green peppers, radishes, head and hothouse lettuce, celery and watercress axe all available and make a vegetarian diet easy to manage even though we are at a season of the year when you most often -hear a weary sigh accompanying the question, "What on earth shall I order for dinner today?" or lunch, or supper, as the case may be. FRANCHISE 1S OPPOSED Council May Demand Share of Fire Alarm Company's Profits. The application of the National Auto matic yire Alarm Company for a 23-year franchise In this city came before the committee on streets of the Council, at its regular meeting yesterday afternoon and was laid over for one week, at which time it and the United Railways franchise will be made special orders of business. It Is practically certain that the Council will demand of the Fire Alarm Company more than the franchise drafted by Rich ard W. Montague, Its legal counsel, now provides. That the Council will demand a share of the gross earnings of the company, should a franchise be granted, Is evident from the declaration of Councilman Rushlight to that effect at yesterday's meeting. He said he would vote to give the concern a franchise if the city can receive its por tion of the gross earnings: otherwise not. The National Automatic Fire Alarm Company has operated in Portland for nearly 15 years, but has never had a fran chise, merely paying a yearly license. Its officers now seek a franchise from the Council, and an ordinance, drafted by Its attorney. Is before the streets com mittee for discussion and recommendation to the Council for final action. It seems to be the general opinion among the mem- bers of the committee that the franchise Bought Is one of the most valuable re cently asked for, and the prevailing senti ment Is that if a franchise is granted. It must call for a certain per cent of the company's gross earnings. As drafted, the franchise allows the city practically nothing In return for the privi leges sought. It agrees to give to the city all the boxes installed by the com pany now in service and to give the city the benefit of the service thus afforded and of the wires that may be strung by the concern. The boxes, automatic and auxiliary, at present In service, are said to be worth $6000. At the same time, however, the company operating them is realizing handsome profits from the sys tem. . SEEKS ARREST OF TENANT Dr. E. O. Smith Says Feyler Stole Household Goods. Dr. H. O. Smith appeared in the Munici pal Court yesterday afternoon and se cured a warrant for the arrest of J. Feyler, whom he accuses of larceny. Dt. Smith said that Feyler rented a fur nished apartment from him in one of his houses at 286 Fourteenth street and after having occupied It for a month decamped without paying rent and taking with him a great many articles of furniture, chinaware, linen, silverware, etc. When Dr. Smith was -notified that the man had decamped he instituted a search snd ascertained at the Postofflce that Feyler had left an order to forward his mall to Kalama. A decoy letter was sent and traced from Kalama back to 4S8 East Thirty-second street, where It was learned that Feyler had moved direct from Dr. Smith's apartment house and had adopted the means described to hide his whereabouts. Judge Cameron issued orders that all the stolen property be seized and brought to the court, where It will be used as evidence. - RISER CALENDARS HALF PRICE. Original photos. 248 Alder at.

The action of the committee on streets of the City Council, In voting to refuse permission to the Corbett estate to place an air vent on the sidewalk on the Fifth street side of the Corbett building- at Fifth and Morrison, indicates the attitude of the members on such special privileges In Portland. It heralds the end of the granting of permits for the occupation of the streets and .sidewalks, it Is said, and means that no more such favors will be forthcoming while the present Coun cil is in power, at least. F. F. Freeman, attorney for the Cor bett estate, applied for & special permit for the vent in the sidewalk at a meet ing of the street committee two weeks ago. At that time there was consider able opposition to the petition In the membership, as It was thought by some that the time had come to deny all special privileges. However, In view of the fact that the Council had granted permission to the Wells-Fargo building for three even larger sidewalk vents, some thought It but fair to name a spe cial committee to investigate the matter In relation to the Corbett building. This consisted of Councllmen Kellaher and Rushlight, who reported adversely yes terday. Their report was adopted, Councilman Drtscoll voted to grant the special privilege, inasmuch as the Coun cil had allowed the three vents to be put In on the Sixth-street side of the Wells-Fargo building, and when the mat ter was voted down yesterday, he an nounced that he would make a minority report to the Council,, that the petition be granted. Mr. Freeman pointed out yesterday the inconsistency of allowing one man to use the sidewalk for vents and forbidding another, but Councilman Vaughn, chair man of the street committee, said that the committee had learned it was wrong In granting past favors of this kind, and that It could not change Its policy any too soon.

"The last bulletin of the health department re ports that during the week the city meat inspectors at the Union Stockyards condemned and destroyed 16,190 pounds of meat. None of this meat came from the large packing establishments, for all the meat handled in them, whether it is to be sent out of the city or to be consumed here, has to pass the rigid examination of Government inspectors, whose care ful work has been praised by Secretary Wilson. No plant in which there are . Government inspectors is allowed to turn out uninspected products for any, purpose." It is a part of this same magnificent network of U. S. Government inspection that is providing Ore-' gon with sound Oregon meats. Just contemplate the effect had those 16,190 pounds of unsound meats that were destroyed in Chicago, been sold over the counter and consumed by those innocent buyers I lAnd yet, where meats are sold that are not inspected (as permitted in Oregon), this horrible thing is of daily occurrence! tJ, S. Government Inspection stands between you and unfit meats, providing a simple, easy way for you to give your family a perfect food. The latest scientific reports pronounce sound meat far ahead of vegetables, cereals or any other food product, for both old and young. ' You have only to demand the inspected article of your dealer, to rest easy on this subject. The Union Meat Company, wholesale dealers in U. S. Government Inspected meats in Oregon, will supply every mother in the. Northwest with an in structive book on this subject. You have only to drop them a card, addressed to Portland, Or. i
