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.

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

concurring, passsd a married women's pror-erty
bill, under the able leadership of Hon. 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.
