SALVATION ARMY . RALLY THE MORNING OREGONIAN. SATURDAY. JANUARY It. 1908. BY 1JLIAN TINGLE. POULTRY Is a shade higher in price this week. Turkeys cost 30 cents a pound; geese 20 to 25 cants, and cl)ii:kens 20 to 25 cents. Ducks are rather searce and cost 25 cents. There wpre some wild geese costing from 65 cents to fl each; firje jack rabbits good cooked en cas3erole at 75 cents each, and guinea fowl, also 75 cents each. Well-fed guinea fowf is almost as. good as pheasant but since it is sometimes inclined to be dry when roasted, the "barde" or protective cov ering of fat pork or bacon should nev er be forgotten and sometimes It Is worth while to "lard" the breast and lpffs with strips of the same material. I have, not met very .many guinea fowls since a long ago country visit, when I spent many exciting . hours 'Htalking" a perverse bird who In sisted on laying away from home. It meant a whole silver' sixpence to me if 1 discovered Hhe nest; and sixpence in those days seemed to have larger pur chasing powers than' all the Rockefel ler millions.' A friend who has an in timate acquaintance with the bird tells me of a way of . stuffing It with lalaga grapes cooked in Madeira. She says that after once trying this combination, turkey and cranberry sauce seem quite flat and flavorless; so perhaps it might be wiser to refrain; one would hate to think' less of such old friends. Epicures may rejoice in the presence of turtle in the markets. They do not Interest me much; but then a wise man ' has said "No woman, ever suc ceeded in dressing a turtle or writing an epic." After all It is perhaps just as Important for a woman to succeed in dressing herself; anyway, most women seem to think so and the presence of the turtles has not appreciably affected tlio "bargain Friday" sales. The turtles cost $1 each or ?10 a dozen. Razor clams, black bass, crabs and shad were all very scarce yesterday and I saw no smelt in any place I visited. Froglegs are again to be had at 40 cents a dozen. There was very line Chinook salmon at 35 cents a. pound, and steel head salmon at 15 cents. Striped bass cost 25 to 30 cents: croppies and catfish 20 cents: black cod. torn cod, sole, halibut and shrimps .were all about 15 cents, while perch and large fresh herring both cost 10 cents a .pound. Those who prefer limes to lemons to serve with certain meats or in certain drinks can get them now at 20 cents a dozen. They make 'rather a fascinating pickle, too, and a good chutney. Oranges cost from 20 to 50 cents a dozen: apples from $1.25 to $2.50 a box. . There are very good figs In the market just now bpth California and Turkish. Malaga grapes cost 35 cents a pound and pineapples 40' to 65 cents. Huckleberries are 12H cents a ppund pnd cranberries 15 'to 20 cents a quart. ' Small grape-fruit cost 40 cents a dozen; large ones $1 and. $1.25 a dozen. Green peas and beans are rather scarcer and cost from 20 to 25 cents a pound. There are new California carrots In at 10 cents a bunch. Fine hothouse cucum bers are to be had at 25 cents each and there is a quantity of small fancy celery at 6 and 10 cents. Artichokes are about 15 cents each, -Other fresh vege tables now to be had include cauliflower, spinach, savoy cabbage, kale, chicory, green peppers (40 cents a pound), squash, Hubbard, cream and Spanish lettuce, leeks, green " onions, watercress and radishes.

Jones has repeatedly demonstrated him self to be an enemy of organized labor. As CJompers said in his letter, Jones has voted against labor and for its oppression rvery time he had had the opportunity. Senator Ankeny's record is clean and I would advise every laboring man to use his influence in securing the re-election of Ankeny. Jones has Bhown himself to be against us, and we are going to fight for men who will be for us. TRI-STATE Y. M. C. A. MEETING Conference Convenes for Three-Day . Session in Walla Walla.

To replace the dam in the Calapoota Rlver the destruction of which In the recent flood has placed Brownsville in darkness, left it without a city water supply and closed practically all its Industries, citizens of Brownsville in a mass meeting last evening subscribed more than $2000 in cash. The meeting was hold only on a few hours' notice nnd the voluntary subscription Is re garded as a remarkable exhibition of civic loyalty, considering the size of Brownsville and the ease with which the money was secured. It will take $3000 to replace the part of the dam which was destroyed and the additional money Is being secured by subscription today. The dam was owned by the compa nies operating the light and water plant, the Browsnville Woolen Mills and the Brownsville Klour Mill, but the damage, coming as It did after the dam had been washed out the year before, was so heavy that these com panies were unable to replace it ; for some time, so the -citizens came to the rescue.

Greene, chairman of th police committee of the executive board, as to the status of the Home Telephone Company's franchise with regard to that provision which require the installation of .a complete report lng system for the police departmen An official statement from the Horn Telephone Company is to the effect that the corporation is preparing to "more than fulfill Its contracts with the city" by installing a strictly mod em reporting system for the police de partment.

The present reporting system of th police department is unanimously de dared to be worthless. It is'alwaw out of order, and an electrician spend much of his time trying to keep it I repair. It is strongly condemned by Chief Gritzmacher. who says there are frequently tiroes when it is absolutely valueless, and when no reports what ever can be received over It from the policemen on the bea't. According to officials, of the Home Telephone Company, that corporation has done Its utmost to install the re quired reporting system promptly, hut it has been -met with many obstacles, such as labor troubles and delays -In receiving shipments of materials, ren dering it an Impossibility to live up to the strict .letter of the franchise.

HOTEL PLAN ABANDONED Board or Trade Building to Be Of flee Structure. After figuring on the additional cost of turning the new Board of Trade building into a hotel, the owners. Gay Lombard and Joseph M. Healy. have decided to carry out the original plans and com plete the structure as a modern office building. To alter - the building, now nearing completion, would involve an expenditure- of over $50,000. which would place the cost of the building at such a figure that would make Its lease for hotel purposes somewhat problematical.
