"The Holy City." -which was charming
ly rendered by II. G. B. "Wilson, with

TASTE SCOTCH HAGGIS.
Vlsitorn nt Cooking School Are
FonKtcd on Novel DlKhe.
The merry skirl of the bacplpe was
heard last night at the School of Do
mestic Science on Washington and Nine
teenth streets, for the piper was out in
all his glory, and Scotch tartan and
Scotch burr flaunted themselves brave
ly In the air. The piper was a brawny
Highlander, who had played before the
Queen, and his reels and Jigs and High
land flings were applauded to an echo
by an audience that was very nearly as
Scotch as he was.
The making of the haggis was preceded
by a reading from Thackeray by John
Cran, which called up memories of smok
ing Bouililbasse and Burgundy. Mr. Rob
ert Livingstone followed with Burns'
"Ode to Haggis," which put everybody in
a properly hungry and expectant state
of mind for the savory dish.
Mrs. W. J. Honeyman then prepared
it before the eyes of the guests, explain
ing every step as she went, and there
were plenty of questions to answer, for
few people in Portland had ever seen
that famous old Scotch dish made before
their eyes. A haggis has been called
"a boiled bag-pipe." It is the stomach
of a sheep filled with the lungs, heart,
and liver of the snme animal, minced
with suet, onions, salt and pepper. It
is a complex operation, that of making
it properly; but when served smoking hot
with Scotch scones and oatcakes for
company, it is as delicious a dish as
can well be Imagined. Followed by vof
fee with whipped cream, and oatcake
sandwiches with orange mnrmalnde be
tween, it makes a meal fit for a King.
Everybody who tasted it would have
been glad to have had more; and there
were quite as many exclamations of de
light over the scones and oatcakes, and
dozens of requests for the recipes. Here
they are:
Scones Four cups flour, one teaspoon
sugar, one level spoon of salt, three tea
spoons of baking powder, one tablespoon
of butter, milk enough to make Into
dough.
Oatcakes One cup oatmeal, one and a
half cups grahnm flour, one tablespoon
of lard, one teaspoon of biking powder,
salt, boiling water. Caution Do not
mix too much at a time.
As for the haggis, everybody agreed
that it, as Sam Miller said of the veal
pie. "It is a fine dish when you know
the lady as made It." But It is not a
dish to entrust to a Chinese cook.
Mrs. Honeyman, in conclusion, said a
few strong words in lohalf of the cook
ing school that brought a rousing burst
of applause, for the school Is constantly
adding new friends to its list, through
the remarkably successful work of Mrs.
Ellen R. Miller, and Miss Porter.
A series of free lectures Is Just now to
be inaugurated. The first will take place
next Wednesday evening at Nineteenth
and "Washington streets. Dr. Woods
Hutchinson giving an address on "Firing
the Human Engine." Everybody is cor
dially invited to be present.
FIREMEN'S PAY IS DP.
IJut Commissioners Manage to Keep
It Secret a Loiitf Time.
The drivers of truck, engine and hose
companies of the Fire Department have
been rejoicing in an increase of salary
since January 1, and news of the fact did
not leak out until yesterday. Each driver
is now receiving the maximum salary
prescribed by the charter, which Is 570
per month. The drivers of hosetenders
to engine companies were also advanced
to the maximum, which In their cases Is
JC5 per month.
The advance In salaries was made by
the Board of Fire Commissioners at their
first meeting in January. Each of the
beneficiaries was instructed not to divulge
the action of the board, and each held
the secret as closely as a woman does a
bargain purchase. None of them knew
anything about the increase yesterday,
although all had drawn their additional
$5 last month, and none of them seemed
to know that a meeting of the board -had
been held in January. When told that
their salaries had been raised, some of
them said they were glad the Commis
sioners appreciated their services. They
had not received the additional pay. but
they hoped they would.
When asked about the increase of sal
aries. Colonel Milton W. Weidler, secre
tary of the board, said it had been made
In January. It was necessary, he said,
because drivers were constantly leaving
the department, and in order to retain the
present experienced force more pay had
to be given. In the department drivers
are on duty day and night. Each has an
evening "off" every week, but during his
six nouns' rest he Is subject to call. The
salaries paid were based upon the value
of labor In 1SDS, when the charter was
passed, and since that time wages have
increased and drivers have found better
place,, better wages and better hours.
So many had left In the last year that It
was thought best, to keep the present
force Intact and that could be done only
by raising the wages.
It is unofficially stated that news of the
Increase was not given out because the
Commissioners feared that me taxpay
ers might think it was a raid upon the
treasury.
Remembered the Conductor.
CHICAGO. Feb. 19. Llewellyn Mason,
a conductoi on the Chicago & Alton Rail
road, lias just received assurance that
courtesy to the traveling public some
times has its reward. When the will of
W. A. Tyler, a Bloomington millionaire,
was probated yesterday, it wan found
to contain the following clause:
"To Llewellyn Mason I bequeath the
sum of JIC'X) In recognition of the courte
ous treatment accorded me while travel
ing on the Alton road."
Conductor Mat-on Is over CO years old
and has been a conductor on the Alton
for nearly 30 years. He now runs a sub
urban train between Chicago and Joliet.
Millionaire Tyler was exceedingly curi
ous when traveling, and was wont to
ask many questions. In 1S&S he happened
to take a train upon which young Mason
was tlie conductor, and Mason spent all
of his spare time on the -,un to Chicago
in talking to him. Three or four times
each year Mason carried the rich man be
tween Jacksonville and Chicago, and later
between Bloomington and Chicago, and
he never once tired of the old man's ques
tions. "Mr. Tyler made his lat trip with me
four years ago, and had almost passed
from my mind." said Mason yesterday.

Oklahoma &. Western line has been pur
chased by the St. Louis & San Francisco
Railway. This line ls being constructed
from Oklahoma City to Quanah. Tex., on
the Colorado Southern, ISO miles west
of this city, crossing the Rock Island at
Chickasaw, thence through Lawton, the
new city. The Oklahoma & Western

The Columbia River & Northern Rail
road Company already has engineers In.
the field examining the valley of the
Klickitat River for the proposed line
from Lyle to Goldendale. The line will
be about 11 miles long. It will probably
not follow up Klickitat Creek, which is
the easterly arm of the Klickitat River,
to Goldendale, but will make a detour
through a depression known as Swale
Canyon, swinging from the main stream
out south of Klickitat Creek. A better
grade to Goldendale can be obtained by
this route.
The new railroad Is to be designed as
a trolley line, to be operated by electric
power developed at the falls of the Klick
itat River, within rwo miles of its mouth.

It Is expected, however, thai the railroad
will be completed before the power plant.
and In this event light locomotives or
steam motors will be used for motive
power until the electric plant shall be
ready to do Its work.
It is estimated that about 1-X.0 bush
els of wheat will come out of the Klicki
tat Valley every yeflr. That alone will
go far toward the supporting of a rail
road. Nearly 1, 005.000 pounds of wool Is
sheared from the backs of the sheep hav- J

73.000 sheep go to market from that sec- ,
tlon every year. Between 4000 and 2JO0
hogs are also fattened In the Klickitat '
Valley and sent out in the Fall. The
road to Goldendale would probably not
get much of the livestock traffic, except
the hops, for the sheep and cattle will j

Canadian Ask for Protection.
NEW YORK. Feb. 19. A deputation of
boot and shoe manufacturers from all
over Canada will wait upon the Dominion
Government to request an Increase of
the duty upon Imported fine shoes, says
a Montreal special to the Times. Another
complaint is that the Canadian manu
facturers have to pay high duties upon
the fine leathers they Import for this
class of shoes, while the shoes are ad
mitted at a figure which makes It Im
possible for them to compete with the
American manufacturers. They will,
therefore, require an increase of the pres
ent duty from 23 per cent to 33 per cent.

! RAILROAD MEN AT SEA
' SIGNIFICANCE OF CAMPBELL'S AP-
POINTMENT NOT CLEAR.
Does It Mean Closer Union of Oregon
Railroad f Who "Will Be New
Tralllc Mnnngert
The subject of most Interest among
railroad men yesterday was the report
that Traffic Manager Campbell, of the O.
R. & N., had been selected for the posi
tion of assistant trallic director of the
Harriman lines. This news was of Itself
important, and then it opened a long line
of speculation. Will the office of tratlic
manager of the O. R. & N. be filled again,
and If so, by whom? Will this mean a
closer union between the O. R. & N. and
Oregon & California (the Southern Pa
cific's Oregon lines)? Will It give the
Pacific Northwest greater influence in
high traffic councils, through the fact
that Mr. Campbell understands so thor
oughly the traffic demands of this coun
try? Will It increase the tralllc of the
m
Columbia River? Docs it mean the sink-
lng of the Individuality of the Oregon
lines of the Harriman system, or the con-
trary?
A year ago there was a good deal of
talk about combining the O. R. & N. and
the Oregon & California under one man
agement at Portland. That was deemed
the logical thing to do. thus getting Ore
gon railroad interests together and giving
them an incentive to common develop
ment of the country. Even when R. B.
Miller went from the office of assistant
general freight agent of the O. R. & N. to
the position of genera! freight and pas
senger agent of the Southern Pacific's
Oregon lines last September, there was
expectation, more or less general, that
that change was preliminary to getting
the traffic departments of the two con-
ccrns under one management. The as-
sumption then was that Mr. Miller would
soon be made general freight agent of the
O. R. & N.. which office seemed to have
been left vacant for some such stroke.
Nothing has been heard of the consoli
dation project for some time, but the re
port of Mr. Campbell's appointment In
the East brings the question to the front
again.
"Wlilie there has been no formal union
of the traffic departments of the two Or
egon railroads, it is well understood that
they have been working ln harmony.
This condition is believed to date from
the time of the appointment of J. C.
Stubbs as traffic director of the Harriman
lines. In many ways the policy of the
O. R. &. N. Co. has been extended over
the Oregon & California, and Mr. Miller
has been able to make distinct progress
with the Southern Pacific lines since he
came into charge of their traffic depart
ment. Some profess to see In the new ar
rangement that Mr. Miller will succeed
Mr. Campbell as traffic manager, not only
of the O. R. & N.. but also of the Oregon
& California. Others think the O. R. &
N. staff will be filled regardless of Its
bearing on the Oregon &. California, or
Southern Pacific. The consensus of opin
ion of railroad men, however, is that
there will sooner or later be a complete
consolidation of the Oregon liner: of the
Southern Pacific with the O. R. & N..
both in tralllc relations and ln operation.
Mr. Campbell's departure at this time
will leave two vacancies in the traffic de
partment of the O. R. & N. the office or
general freight agent as well as that of
traffic manager. It Is deemed unlikely
that both of these will long remain un
filled. Whether a new man will be sent
out from the East to take one of the new
Jobs or the places will be filled by promo
tions of local men is a matter of consld
omhle Interest here, and nobody has yet
j j figured out a "slate" that seems at all
Meanwhile railroad men interested are
looking anxiously for the official an
nouncement of Mr. Campbell's new ap
pointment. This, it ls said, will be made
by circular over the signature of Traffic
Director Stubbs.
EI.I.EXSBURG IS PLEASED.
Preparations Hnil Been Mmle for
Chan-flu'; nivlniounl Point.
ELLENSBURG. Wash.. Feb. 19. The
j official announcement that the Northern
Pacific terminals are not. to oe remuveu
from Ellensburg to Cle-Elum caused gen
eral rejoicing here. When the report of
rumoval became persistent, the citizens
sent a delegation to Tacoma to ascertain
the truth, and they were Informed by
General Manager Pearce that the term
inals would be removed from here, and
until lately It was supposed that the or
der then- Issued would be carried out.
Lately evidence of a change of plan
has been accumulating. Lumber was
piled on the ground at Cle-Elum for an
Immense Icehouse, but work did not be
gin on the structure, and the company
stored more Ice at Ellensburg than ever
before. Additional side tracks have also
been laid here, and all this aroused hopes
that the plans had been changed, so the
news did not come as an entire surprise.
It ls rumored that extensive Improve
ments are to be made here at once. In
cluding electric coal bunkers and a new
depot, which had been- promised. A good
many Ellensburg people Invested In Cle
Elum real estate on the strength of the
l reported move. The railroad men living
here are delighted with tne change, as
averse to making the move.
