COLUMBIA RIVEU. smelt, so difficult
to obtain last Friday, are plentiful
enough now, and cost only 5 cents a
pound. Don't forget the hint I gave
you about trying them baked, sardina
fashion, with vinegar, spices and a
shred of orange peel, and served cold,
on lettuce, with mayonnaise or sauce
tartar. There is no difficulty In get
ting clams this week either, and In i
addition to the hardshell ' and razor
clams there are fine "butter clams" to
be had at 20 cents a dozen. There
were rnusscls also the small kind at
10 rent a nnunri: and crabs are again
plentiful. j
Sturgeon is In again and costs 15
cents a pound. People who love the j
"dollar flavoring" and estimate any j
particular dish according to what they
have to pay for, might enjoy sturgeon I
more if it cost S1.50 a pound as I
have known it; but personally I prefer
the first quoted price. Lobsters and
Chinook salmon both cost 30 to 3a
cents a pound yesterday, while steel
head salmon was 20 cents. There was
very fine striped bass at 25 cents and
tyee trout at the" same price. Tomcod,
catfish, sole, croppies and shrimps were
all 15 cents a pound; black cod and
halibut 12V to 15 cents; perch and
herring 10 cents a pound.
Turkeys are somewhat cheaper 20
to 25 cents for the best, but other
poultry prices seem unchanged. There
was a good supply of wild geese, cost
ing from 50 to 75 cents each, and rab
bits at 40 and 50 Cents each. I think
a well-made rabbit pie or fricassee
quite equal to chicken, especially If
the chicken Is an elderly one or has
spent many of its days In cold stor
age. .
There is little variety of fruit at
present. Pineapples were plentiful
and lower in price than they have been,
very nice ones costing only 35 cents.'
Grapefruit cost 75 cents and 1 a doz
en; oranges run from 25 to 60 cents a
dozen, and apples from to $3.50 a
box. There are a .few grapes and pears
tb be seen, -but they are not specially
attractive just now. Cranberries are
15 cents a quart. The tender pink
forced rhubarb is in and makes pretty
little open tarts in the French style.
When you look at the array of veg
etables it U quite hard to believe that
it is January. If you are wanting a
change in green salads try some "field
lettuce" or "fetticus," which is now to
be had at 10 cents a pound. It Is good
with a French dressing, I can testify,
and ne of Portland's .highest authori
ties on good things to eat informs me
that to the masculine palate it is highly
satisfactory if served with a hot bacon
salad dressing, in which, of course,
it wilts down somewhat. Head and
hothouse lettuce, chicory, hothouse cu
cumber and green onions are other
available gre,en salads; and there are
large radishes that might be served in
the German fashion (though the Ger
man radish is rather different both In
flavor and appearance), sliced wafer
thin like cucumber.
There Is good celery of the large
kind at 10 cents per bunch and small
"celery hearts" at 25 cents for a bunch
of 12. French artichokes are very
good this week. Eggplant, peas and
beans are all 20 cents a pound. Cau
liflowers cost about 15 cents each;
Brussels sprouts -15 cents a pound
Green peppers are 35 cents a pound;
cream squash'and spinach both 5 cents.

SPECIAL MEETINGS CLOSE
Dr. Foulkes Speaks on Mysterious
Power of the Gospel
Dr. W. H. . Foulkes concluded his
evangelistic services at the First Pres
byterian Church last night with a ser
mon on the mysterious power in the
gospel" that attracts men. He said in
part
"For the last 2000 years the lives of
men hava testified that some power
has drawn "them toward Christianity
something was acting as a magnet and
attracted them. Despite all the abuses
and hypocrisies heaped upon the
church that power has grown until it
Is the most potent in the world today.
One answer Is that it is the church
the heaven-ordained agency of God
upon earth. I do not want to decry
the glory of the church, but I realize
that often the gospel has drawn men
In spite of the church. Some say the
Word of God is the power but there
must be something beneath the Book
as there must be something within the
church.
"Christ said if I be lifted up T will
draw all men unto me. That is the
answer. The uplifted, the truclfied
Christ is the magnet of Christianity.
His love and mercy persuade men of
the reality of unseen things. By his
two poles divinity and humanity he
draws us. He is God and man with
one hand reaching to us and the other
to the Father.
"There are some things a magnetj
cannot araw ann so jurist uoes nui
appeal to the base things within you.
He takes hold of the best things with
in you and if you will you may be
lifted up. It is the Christ upon tha
rross that is the magnet. By his life,
even the skeptical world measures all
men. If we are lifted up upon sclf
SRcrlflce and lovo we have drawing
powers and the church that Is lifted
up lsa potent force for good."

"Wherever there is an up-to-date packing plant there
are lure to be found the best types of beef cattle." ! D. Udoin, in Oregon Dally Journal.
Mr. Wisdom, of the Executive Committee of the Portland Country Club and
Livestock Show, says many other true things pertaining to the advantages to a
community of a large packing plant, in the Journal of January 14: Tho chief ad
vantage to the consumer is the above fact that the! presence of such a plant makes
a demand for the "best types of beef cattle" which means that you, the consum
er, get a better type of beef than you would otherwise; you get the best that Ore
gon can produce, when you demand
"Is It U: S. Government Inspected?"
Because the Government's stamp goes only on that which is absolutely wholesome.
