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,

Resolution Protesting Against Sun
day losing Overwhelmingly De
fcatcd Others Are Acted ' On.
TACOMA, Wash.. Jan. 10. (Special.)
Jy an overwhelming vote following three
hours of heated discussion! the State Fed
eration of labor went on record today as
opposed to the Sunday theater. The dis
cussion was started 'by J. .C. Dalby. of
Seattle, who submitted a resolution pro
testing against the Sunday clpsing of the
aters, and urging that the law of the
state be amended. Following the reading
of the resolution. 20 delegates clamored
for recognition, and after many speeches
for and against, a rising "'ote was taken
which showed that only 53 of the dele
gates favored the resolution, while over
200 were opposed.
Considerable discussion was had over a
resolution introduced by the Cooks and
Waiters' Union of Spokane, demanding a
state law for the inspection of all kitch
ens in public eating-houses and sanitary
methods on the part of the owners. The
resolution was' adopted by unanimous
vote.
Other resolutions adopted favored mak
ing the office of Labor Commissioner elec
tive and stipulating that one of the Com
missioners be a woman; indorsing a Na
tional child-labor, law; demanding tariff
reform; demanding an amendment to the
state constitution terminating government
ly injunction; demanding that, all public
works be advertised before contract Is
let: indorsing woman suffrage and pro
hibiting the employment of aliens on
state, county and municipal work.
The committee to interview the Expo
sition directors did not return from Seat
tle and no action will be taken on the
boycott resolution until tomorrow.
Thomas Ivey, of Spokane. iB promi
nently mentioned for the position of secretary-treasurer,
as are the names of
Charles Perry Taylor, of Tacoma, and
John E. Campbell, of Everett. It is gen
. rrally conceded that Cotterill will be re
elected president of the Federation.- Res
olutions condemning the present banking
system of - the United States, Indorsing
the parcels post and postal savings bank
were presented, but referred back to the
resolutions committee for amendments,
and will probably be adopted tomorrow.
Discussing a letter which he had re
ceived from Samuel Gompers concerning
the approaching election of a United
Slates Senator to succeed Ankeny, Or
ganizer C. O. Young said: "Wesley L.
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.

CITIZEN'S COME TO RESCUE
rcople of Brownsville Give .Cash to
' Repair Power Dam. .
ALBANY, Or., Jan. 10. (Special.)
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.

POLICE ARE HANDICAPPED
Reporting System Is Worthless, but
New One Is Promised.
Quiet inquiry Is being made, b
Thomas G. 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. Officials of the compan
have been in cohsultation with th
Mayor and Chief Campbell, of the fire
department, with a view to placing th
required number of telephones In ser
vice and. as soon as a list of station
is furnished, the work will be begun
the company reports.
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. The
company promises, however, to give
the police department a modern report
ing system.

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.
Jr. Lombard said last night that it is
