Kindergarten Club Meets. The regu lar fortnightly meeting of the Kindergar ten Club was held yesterday afternoon at the People's Institute. Miss Mary S. Barlow presided. Reports were received from a number of Middle Western states showing the very general progress of the movement. A letter was read from a leading attorney, who had ascertained that provision having been made at a recent session of the Legislature for the supervision of the kindergarten in -all first-class districts, the School Board may now have charge of the kindergarten as a part of the common school system after proper authorization at the annual meet ing. A publicity committee and a com mittee for the nomination of honorary vice-presidents were appointed. ' The meeting was an enthusiastic one. Invi tations were extended to the various Mothers' Clubs and Improvement Clubs of the city to send each three delegates to the next meeting of the Kindergarten Club which will take place Monday, De cember 16. Wednesday W. C. T. TJ. Tea. At Cen tral W. C. T. TJ. yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Ella G. Hines, delegate from Oregon, gave a very interesting report of the National Convention held recently In Nashville, Tenn. Most delightful hospi tality was extended the 600 delegates from all the states, by the people of Nashville. Welcome night the convention was re ceived by the Governor of the state as well as the Mayor of Nashville. Dem onstrations of the work were given. The greatest evening of all was the last when over J7000 was raised for the wonk. Great enthusiasm prevailed over the recent prohibition victories and the W. C. T. TJ. yell, "White Ribbon, Hurrah," was repeated many times. Mrs. Unruh gave an interesting sketch of jlrs. I M. N. Stevens, the National president. At the close of the programme refreshments were served and a pleasant hour spent. Next week Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin will speak on the work of the Travelers Aid Society. No Order From Bonaparte). If Attorney-General Bonaparte has issued per emptory orders for United StatesAttorney Bristol to start the prosecution of the Oregon land frauds, they must have been delayed in transmission, for no such or ders have reached the United States At torney's office. Even if such orders should be received by Mr. Bristol, it is hardly possible that the trials would be taken up until January. In the first place it would take some weeks before a jury could be secured, and in the second the trials cannot be resumed until Judge Hunt can return to Portland. At present Judge Hunt is holding court in Helena. Mont., where he Is trying to catch up with the work that he had to postpone when he came came to Portland the last time. People Build Firehouse. Property owners have completed a temporary fire house on Alblna and Killlngsworth ave nues in which to house the apparatus that the erty has promised to furnish the vol unteer fire company soon to be organized. The city has agreed to supply the com pany with 1000 feet of hose which will he delivered some time during 'the month. The new hosehouse cost f250 and the money was raised through the efforts of the Nolta Progressive Club. It Is hoped to get the volunteer company organized by next week. Next Monday night the Nolta Progressive Club will hold a meet ing In the firehouse and elect officers. This club has been an effective agency In promoting general Improvement in that neighborhood. Wanted Park Policemen. That police men assigned to duty in the City Park should wear gray uniforms and be under the supervision of the park superintendent was the request made of the Municipal Civil Service Commission at its meeting yesterday by A. D. Montieth, superin tendent of the park. This request was made In a letter in which Superintendent J'.ontleth asked for a reclassification of the city . employes so as to harmonize vlth his suggestion as to park policemen. He complained to the Commission that the policemen now doing duty at the park are incompetent to handle the large crowds either on Sundays or holidays The letter was laid on the table.

It will enable the License Inspector to ascertain what saloons if any will discontinue business on the first of the year as well as ac quaint him with such removals as are contemplated. -A Fine Complexion and Fresh Food. A physician who takes many trips East has often remarked about the fine com plexions and buxom looks of the Oreg.n people compared with people living on the other side of the Rockies. "I verily be lieve," said he, "that It Is due to the pure fresh food one gets on the Pacitio Coast. Here we have plenty of pure water and fresh milk. In Chicago the milk is usually 48 hours old. And as for meats, just see how the people flock to the Frank L. Smith Meat Co., on Alder street, where they know they're getting fresh Oregon Meats." The Smith Meat Co. sell their own sugar-cured breakfast bacon from 16c to l'Vic per pound.

The committee Is as fol lows: President W. H. Moore, Secretary A. F. Swensson, H. W. Fries, Frank Sln nott and R. M. Wilbur.

CUTS OFF FOOD SUPPLIES And Hereafter the Only Food Left for the Vnhappy Rat Will Be 1 That Attached to Some Deadly Trap. " Mayor Lane yesterday signed the anti rat ordinance, passed at the last meeting of the Council, and the campaign for the extermination of these rodents is on in earnest. This measure requires the use of wire screens or netting In all base ments, warehouses, grain elevators, docks and packing-houses for the protection of all foodstuffs from rats. It Is the pur pose of the ordinance to starve these animals by shutting off their food sup ply as much as possible and at the same time prevent foodstuffs from being In fected with bubonic plague germs. This legislation was presented to the City Council through the committee on health and police by City Health Officer Pohl. It Is the same ordinance that was en acted by the Councils of San Francisco and Seattle on the recommendation of the Federal authorities as the most effec tive means of protecting the city from a possible invasion of plague. The owner or occupant of every build ing in the city Is required to set one or more traps, the number of the traps and the model to be designated by the Health Board. These traps must be set dally, rebalted at least twice each week and are subject to Inspection dally by some mem ber of the Health Office. Besides keep ing the traps In use constantly, the householder and business man Is liable to punishment for a . misdemeanor If he permits any rubbish to gather on his premises that will serve either as food or a harbor for rats. Dr. Esther Pohl, City Health Offi cer, reports that the war against rats Is progressing satisfactorily. She says citi zens are very generally co-operating with the result that several hundred rats are being killed every week. It is estimated that A. Zalk, who is employed by the city as rat-catcher, has caugHt over E000 of these rodent pests during the last two months. Residents throughout the , city have equipped their homes with service able traps and are assisting to swell the list of fatalities in the rat family. One family In the residence district yesterday reported to the Health Department that six rats had bcen caught the night before In a single trap at their home when they were satisfied there was not a rat to be found in the vicinity. The result of an experiment conducted this week by Deputy Health Officer M. P. Scollard has convinced him that 11m burger cheese has another use to serve aside from being a staple article of diet at a beer garden. Mr. Scollard reports that from a trap baited with the cheese of large smelling properties he succeeded In catching seven times as many rats as he did from a similar trap that had been baited with ordinary cream cheese. The Incident Is considered quite Important by the Assistant Health Officer, who Is inclined to recommend the llmburger variety of cheese as the most effective bait for rat-catching. TAX COLLECTIONS HEAVY Only $46,950 Delinquent Out of $3,853,000. The report of Deputy Sheriff S. B. Martin, of the Tax Department, shows that notwithstanding the holidays the Tax Department has collected $2937.11 more during the month just past than It did during the same time In 1906. Of 46, 950.93 in' taxes which are yet unpaid, less than $10,000 is on real estate, the balance being for personal property. The delinquent taxes for 1907 now stand at about .016 per cent of the entire roll for the year. As fast as delinquent taxes have been col lected they have been turned over by the Sheriff to County Treasurer Lewis. The total gain in tax collections for the four months last past over the same period In 1906 amounts to $9136.23, this amount being 50 per cent more than the total tax collections dur ing November last year. The report Is an Indication of the growth of the city and of the large increase in property values within the year: The detailed report follows: Tax roll for 100T $2,839,462.24 Penalty 0.312.48 Interest 8.123.63 Sheriff's assessments 1.171.27 Total $2.8.13,069.
