12 TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, JANUARY 25, 190S. Cm IN KO IT BY LILIAN TINGLE. HEARD one housekeeper remark, after careless glance at the array of things to eat In her chosen market. "I don't know what to get for dinner, there Isn't really anything to be had nt this time of year" and I had in my hand a price list. Including the usual kinds of meat and poultry. 19 different kinds of Dsn and 'X regular vegetables, not count ting chestnuts and banunas, which are both so satisfactory cooked and served as a meat accompaniment or as inde pendent savory dishes. Think, too, of all the. possible and the many excellent combinations of such ma terial. I concluded that the speaker was either lacking in imagination or in culti vation of taste. Perhaps she was like an other woman, who, when asked to ex plain a similar remark, said that what she meant was that no strawberries or asparagus could be had, and they were the only fruit and vegetable she really cared about. This is rather like an nouncing that Botticellls or Gibson draw ings, whichever you happen to prefer, are the only pictures worth looking at. Smelt, which had been very plentiful and cheap during the week, was scarcer yesterday, costing from 5 to 10 cents a pound, instead of three or four pounds for 10 cents. I saw no butter clams, but plenty of other clams, and mussels, as before, at 10 cents a pound. Clam short cake Is a highly recommended dish which I have not yet tried. It may be more familiar to you; and I must say that, for luncheon or supper, the combination of light flaky crust, juicy, well-seasoned clams, and whipped cream sound de cidedly attractive. Crabs and lobsters are plentiful, the former 15 to 20 cents each and the latter 25 to 35 cents a pound. Chinooft salmon costs 23 cents this week: "baby" salmon and striped bass are the price, and steeinead is 20 cents a -pound. Croppies and sturgeon both cost 2i) cents; catfish, halibut and sole are 15 cents; torn cod 12M cents, and h.erring and perch 10 cents a pound. Turkeys are scarcer, but still 30 to 25 cents a pound, and other poultry prices are unchanged. Rabbits are to be had at 40 cents each. Wild geese are much less plentiful, but I saw some pretty good ones at 60 cents each. A lover of wild geese advises me that limes, cut in half, sprinkled with red pepper and then squeezed over the bird, will add much to the attractions of wild goose Limes are 20 cents a dozen. If you have been told to eat greens and are tired of spinach, try watercress, cooked, chopped, and treated in the same way; or field lettuce, stewed, with the addition of a little cream. There were very good green peppers at 25 cents a pound; fine artichokes, two for 25 cents, and hothouse cucumbers from 15 to 25 cents each. The small, white celery, in 25-cent bundles, was particularly good, too; and the cauliflowers were better than I have seen lately. Beans, peas and Brussels sprouts were all 15 cents a pound, and tomatoes 35 cents. The pink Cali fornia rhubarb is 25 cents a pound, while the green kind has gone down in price to 12 cents. Grapefruit was among the most inviting of fruits shown, thougn boxes of Spitzonberg apples at 3 had charms of their own. Oranges seemed rather lower in price; there were nice looking ones at 19 and also at 15 cents a dozen, with choicer kinds running up to 60 cents. Few pineapples were shown, but I saw some pretty .good grapes at 23 cents a pound and pears at 40 cents a basket.. ROBBED BY HIS BROTHER CLACKAMAS COUNTY MAX'S CON FIDENCE IS BETRAYED. Ed Nelson Plays Good Samaritan to His Impecunious Relative and Lot.cs $350 In Consequence. Ed Nelson, a saddlemaker, living on the Kstacada carlinc, at Wichita station, has been robbed of the savings of two years with which he had planned to build a home. Not only is his money gone, but so Is his brother, Newton Nelson. The money and the brother disappeared simul taneously. Nelson is loth to believe his brother would rob htm, but since there was no other logical conclusion to be reached he sought out the police yester day and asked for a warrant of arrest for his brother. The amount taken was $350. Nelson had - been saving to put up a comfortable cabin or bungalow on his five-acre tract. He had the money in the bank until the recent panic, at which time he drew the cash out and sewed it in the mattress of his bed. Nobody knew the secret hiding place but Nelson's wife. About this time Newton Nelson ap peared. He was down In his luck. He was out of work, hungry and distressed and Ed Nelson welcomed him and bade him stay until work became more plenti ful. Later, of course, the brother was told of the money having been taken from the bank and, of the hiding place. Last Monday Newton disappeared. The other Nelson was very much worried. He thought his brother might have met with tn accident and asked the police to look out for him. Nothing was thought of the missing money. The following day, however, the significance of Newton's sudden lcavetaking became manifest. The first load of lumber with which the new bungalow was to be built arrived on the Nelson premises. After it had been unloaded, Mrs. Nelson went to the mattress to get money to pay for it. At the place where she had sewed in the money there was a slit. The money was gone, to the last penny. Nothing else about the house was missing and since jewelry might have been taken and other articles of value, the Nelson's were surprised at the lax methods of the burglar that had visited their home. Then it flashed on them who the thief must be. Proof of the missing brother's guilt seemed conclusive. It was recalled that he left without saying a word and that he had acted peculiarly before leaving. It took two days for Nelson to allow himself to think that he had been robbed by his own brother of the little hoard saved for purchasing a home. Yesterday he consulted Deputy District Attorney Stevenson and presented the facts. A warrant would have been Issued at once, except that Wichita is just over the line in t'lackamas County. Nelson was re ferred to the District Attorney at Oregon City. He said he intended following the case up and having his brother returned. RULE TO BE ABOLISHED Limit on Bids Found to Retard Im provement of Streets. The Executive Board will revoke its custom of holding- to the estimate of tho City Engineer and 10 per cent additional in the matter of letting contracts for street improvements, it is believed, as that system has ham pered the Board on several occasions, and lias held up important street work. Action to rescind this custom came near being- taken at the meeting yes terday afternoon, but R. L. Sabin, who is outspokenly in favor of doing away with the custom, did not move to have It repealed. Because of the old rule of the Exec utive Board, which has been handed down from administration to adminis tration, no contract could be lot for the bltulithlc pavement on Stark street from Seventh to fturnslde streets, and new bids are to be called for by the i'lty Auditor. The Warren Construc tion Company is the one concern hav ing this kind of pavement In Portland, and to It must be given the award for the work. However, its bid was 13 per cent above the estimate of City Engi neer Taylor, and Mayor Lane insisted that the rule be applied or repealed. City Engineer Taylor favors abolish Ins; the old rule, hs docs R. 1 Sabln. a member of the street committee, which has to wrestle with all of these prob lems. Mr. Sabin Spoke at length yes terday to the Board on the rule that has existed so long, and which he said had become an impediment to progress In improvement work. He thought the way tho rule applied prior to the drafting of the present charter was all right, but now. he declared. It is wrong and retards street work. "GiiiRerbread Men" Free Today.

BALLOT GOAL FOR WOMEN Mrs. Duniway Narrates Long Effort for Larger Privilege for Her Sex. (The following letter, written by Mrs. A. S. Duniway to Mrs. Lord, of Dallas, was read before the Soro&ls Club of that city last Mon day, and at the request of Mrs. Agnes C. tiradshaw, president of the club, Is herewith printed.) PORTLAND, Jan. 11. My Dear Mr. Lord: As all the laws that bestow equal property rights upon married women in Oregon, Wash ington and Idaho are the direct result of my own initiative efforts before, the Slate Legis lative Assembly; and as I confess to an in born hesitancy about blowing; my own trum pet, I take up my pen to reply to your re quest with some reluctance. I first ventured to visit the Oregon Legislature in the Au tumn of 1S72. At that time thie august body met in the Autumn of the e"ven years, instead of, as now, in January of the odd years. Although the wivee of state officers had prob ably visited the lobby before, and had occa sionally been admitted to a temporary seat on the floor of House or Senate beside their husbands, no women had ever gone before t he solona on a mission in behalf of their Women at that time had no lesal repre sentation whatever. The personal ownership of her wedding outfit, provided for her by the gt nerosity of a doting father, became the sole property of her husband- at the marriage altar; and he, the husband, had the legal right to use it to clothe his property (tfcat is his wife) if he chose to do it till it was worn out In his service; or. if he chose, he could sell, pawn, mortgage, give it away or reduce It to ashes, and his wife had no redress at law, since a man could not steal from him self; and in law the husband and wife were one, and. the husband was that one. The news having gone abroad- that I was to visit the Legislature on an equal rights mis sion, my many women friends in the Capital City made excuses to avoid accompanying me. They ail wanted me to go. but said "their husbands objected to their making themselves conspicuous," or "their husbands were office holders." or "candidates." etc.. etc.. but after two days' canvassing I found one woman brave enough to face the ordeal as my chaperone. This was Dr.' Mary P. Sawtclle. the third woman graduate of a medical college to at tempt the legal practice of medicine in Oregon, and she was naturally at that time under the ban of the M. D.'s who were among the members of the law-making body of the state. Never shall I forget the sensations of fear and trembling with which I for the first time entered the presence of that August Assembly. The soles of my feet were attacked with the tremuloue flutter one feels when venturing to the extreme edge of a precipice, but I had no sooner taken my seat in the lobby than I was discovered by a friend In the House, the Hon. Joseph Bngle, of Marion, who made a euiigistlc speech that half frightened me out of my wits when I found It was in laudation of my humble self. He extolled me as a teacher, farmer's wife, mother, home-maker, etc. And as he clowd his eulogy and offered a motion which ended In the Sergeant-at-Arms approaching me with a bow and escorting me to a seat among newspaper men close to the Speaker, I should certainly have fainted if I had not sank Into a chair. In looking over my much-abbreviated chapter on Oregon In Miss Anthony's History ,of "Women's Suf frage. Vol. 3d. pa&e 771, you can see It re corded that "In 1872 the Senate, the House BLUE POINT OYSTER CO.

J. N. Dolph, who afterwards distinguished himself as our champion in the Senate of the United States. This bill which was inspired and Introduced at my personal solicitation) has ever eince enabled any woman engaged in business on her own account to register the fact in the office of the County Clerk, and thereby secure her tools, furniture, or stock in trade against liability of seizure by her husband's creditors. All laws (since 1872) have been repealed at my personal solicitation at different meet ings of the Legislative Assembly, that rec ognized civil disabilities against the wife which are not recognized as existing against the husband, except those pertaining to vot ing and holding office. If the husband does not support the family, the wife may apply to the Circuit Court, and the Judge may Issue such decree as he thinks equitable, and may have power to enforce it as in other equity cases. School suffrage for women became a law undr by initiative) 4n 187S. and has ever since enabled women to vote for school trustees and for bonds and appropria tions, if they have property of their own In the school district upon which they or their husbands pay a tax; but women are not yet eligible to any elective office except that of school trustee. This law originally permitted omn to fill the offices of State 'and County Superintendents of Schools; but it was con tented In 1896 by a defeated male candidate End declared Unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. No profession or occupation ia now legally forbidden to women. In securing the introduction, consideration and adoption of all property laws pertain ing to women, the writer has the honor of being the lone and only woman factor. But she has not yet succeeded in securing a ma jority vote for the full and free enfranchise ment of women the fundamental right of all rights, without which none of lis are abso lutely secure in the possession of any right. She Is. however, happy to etate that under ler personal management a petition for resub mitting our equal suffrage amendment cam paign for the June election of 1008 Is now ready for filing with the Secretary of State, and will be placed with him for that pur pose on the 15th day of the present month. This campaign is to be a quiet one, arous ing no antagonism, and as far as possible avoiding all controversy. We are placing our fathers, brothers, husbands and sons upon honor, and it is up to them to say at the bal lot box whether or not the sons or .daugh ters of the future are to be the children of their political equals or the offspring of the legal equals of criminal classes and Asiatic Invaders. Cordially yours for liberty, ABIGAIL SCOTT DUNTWAT. TEACH BOYS TO USE HANDS Leading Men Advocate Industrial Training In Schools. CHICAGO, Jan. 24. Before an audience of 600 representatives of manufacturing, commercial and educational interests ot the Middle West, four men last night presented the first comprehensive pro gramme of a new Industrial education for the youngster, who works with his hands. The occasion was the opening session of the first convention of the National Society for the Promotion of Industrial Education, held at a dinner at the Au ditorium Hotel. The- four men were: Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States, by letter; Charles "W. El iot, president of Harvard University: James W. Van Cleave, president of the National Manufacturers' Associatfon, and Henry L. Pr.tchett, president of the Car negie Foundation. On the boy who goes into the trades, said the speakers, depends a mere pos sibility to retain the industrial suprem acy given by the country's natural re sources. And toward the boy who goes into the trades, they added, the educa tional efforts of the next decade must be directed. "My interest in this movement," wrote President Roosevelt, "arises more than all else, out of the desire to see the American boy have his best opportunity for development." Briefly summarized, the programme out lined by the various speakers appeared as follows: "Introduction of trade school training In elementary schools throughout ' the country." "EstabJshment of a combination of school and shop instruction to occupy the time between the ages of 4 and 17." "Advancing the compulsory education age to 17 or 18." "Establishment of a system by which the elementary school teachers shall 'sort children, according to their destination.' " "Abolishment of the idea f 'absolute democracy,' in the public schools. For mation of a special educational commis sion to organize a trade school system. Creation of a National Commissioner of Industrial Education." Boat and Crew Rescued. HOOK OF HOLLAND, Jan. 24.
