NEW Spring lamb Is to be had now, but Is not for economically minded purchasers, since It costs 30 cents a pound and Is sold only by the quar ter. This reminds me of a very literary but wholly undomeaticated friend of mine who rashly marrietjl her publisher and then found It necessary to turn her attention from word weaving to household-providing. She iai never ordered a piece of meat in her life, so she asked the butcher con fidentially what was the very nicest meat he had. "Spring lamb, ma'am," he replied, "but it's 35 cents a pound and we sell it only by the quarter." "Well," she said, trying to look wise ayd experienced, "that is rather high in price I suppose; but I want some thing particularly good for my hus tmnd'e lunch today, so you may send me up just three quarters, I think." "And would you believe it," she told me afterwards, "that wretched man sent up nearly a whole lamb instead of the three quarters of a pound I or dered! And the cook didn't tell me, and we lived on lamb for a week or more; and the month's bill When It came In was simply awful." There is nice fresh mint to be had, too; so if you Indulge in lamb there is no excuse for your disregarding the latter half of the rule, whic says: Always have lobster sauce with salmon. And put mint 'sauce your roasted lamb on. though nowadays "mint Jelly" seems to be more "the proper caper." Poultry prices are unchanged, and there Is no "game" of any kind except a very few rabbits at 60 cents each. I saw even more varieties of fish in the market than there were last week. Columbia River smelt were 12 V, cents a pound, and scarce at that, when I In quired about It, but more may be In to day. The small silver smelt cost 10 cents a pound and the large California smelt, 15 cents. Fresh mackerel ta now to be had at 20 cents; though there are no "in coherent gooseberries" for the sauce of which the poet sings. Roe sauce and fennel sauce are other traditional accompaniments for fresh mackerel. This is one of the several kinds of fish that are excellent "collared" or pickled. There were California king-flfih at 15 cents; small rock-cod (Just the right size to be served stuffed,, for a small family) red-snapper, rock-trout, very good croppies, tom-cod, cat-fish and sole, all about 15 cents a pound; striped bass and tyee trout cost 25 cents and beside some very nice look ing sturgeon at 20 cents were perch, flounder and herring at 10 cents. I wonder if you know that thrifty Scottish dish known as "herring pie with potato crust." It can be Amer icanized into a very acceptable Lenten entree or luncheon dish. There is a very fine show of apples this week, including some that In tended crossing the Pacific and missed their boat or something. These are beautiful Kings, Spltzenbergs, Ortleys, yellow Newtons and red cheeked pip pins. They cost from 6 to 15 cents each or from M to $7 a box. I saw some very nice pineapples at 50 and 75 cents and large seedless grapefruit, 3 for 25 cents. Alligator pears cost 40 and 50 cents each. There are a few imported Malaga grapes at 30 cents a pound and pears at 40 cents a dozen. The vegetable list Is about the same as last week. There were '..new Mexican tomatoes at 30 cents a pound and Illinois hothouse tomatoes at 50 cents. Cauliflower and Brussels sprouts were about the most attractive of the vegetables, though the celery Is still pretty good. Nice fresh water cress Js again plentiful and so Is chicory, either of which, with Neu chatel or good cottage cheese makes an excellent Spring salad. LIVELY ROW PREDICTED SALEM COVNCIIi WItiTj CliASH OVER HIGH LICENSE. Mayor Rod pre rs Firm for High Li cense Effort to Recall Ordi nance Already Approved. SALEM, Or.. Feb. 28 (Special.) The meeting of the Salem City Council next Monday night promises to be one of the warmest sessions ever held by the city's lawmaking body, for Mayor Rodgers Is uncompromisingly opposed to the plan of reducing the liquor license from $1000 to $800. as has been agreed upon by a , majority of the Council. When the Council last Friday night passed the ordinance raising the license from $4fl0 to $1000, Mayor Rodgers signed it and filed It at once. Under the city charter the ordinance does not take ef fect until 10 days after it was signed, that time being allowed for the filing of referendum petitions. When the saloon keepers determined to secure a reduction of the license, they sounded Mayor Rodgers and found him very strongly in favor of the newly fixed amount. It would therefore be impossible to pass an ordinance making the reduction, for the Mayor would veto, and a two-thirds ma jority could not be secured. Then those who favored reduction reasoned it out that since the ordinance has not gone Into effect they can reconsider the vote by which it was passed. That is the programme as now mapped out, but there is great doubt whether the council can reconsider the vote after the measure has gone to the Mayor and has been signed and filed. The 10-day period is provided merely for the filing of referendum petitions. It is said that the Council could no more reconsider its ordinance now than the Legislature could reconsider a bill after it has been passed, signed by the Governor and filed in the office of the Secretary of State. On the other hand, the members who believe $1000 is too high a license think they have a right to recall the ordinance and" amend it at any time before the 10 davs expire. The fight Monday night wlil be over both the legal question and the question, of policy. CAN'T FIND WRECK CAUSE Railroad Commission Completes Re port on Forest Grove Accident. SALEM, Or.. Feb. 28. (Special.) That the cause of the Forest Grove trainwreck will never be demonstrated unless a chem ical examination of the broken rail shows a defect In the material. Is the declara tion made by the Oregon Railroad Com mission in its report, which was complet ed tonight. The Commission visited the wreck, ex amined the track and the pieces of broken rail and took the testimony of many wit nesses. The report recites briefly the facts regarding that wreck as they have al ready been published. The Commission finds that the track at the place of the accident was in better condition than the average of that branch: that the broken rail was a 56 pound rail manufactured in 18S2 and ued from 1SS2 to 1896 on the Southern Pacific main line, and since then on the branch line; that no flaw in the material Is apparent; that a piece of the broken rail shows adjacent to one or the bolt holes old rust extending about one-half Inch, but the age of this break is un known; that the trestle at the place of the wreck was In good condition, except for the lack of a guard rail, which might have mitigated the violence of the wreck: that the 56-pound rails in use on that line have a better record on breakage than have the heavier steel rails in use on the main lines: and that this 1 the experi ence of other roaOs. In conclusion the Commission recom mends that the branch lines of the South ern Pacific be relaid with heavier steel at onre In accordance with the plans of the general superintendent. Timber Speculators and Iocators. CAT1.TN. Wash.. Feh. 2".. (To the Edi tor. The OreRonian of February 1M con tain an editorial entlteld. "The Locator's Harvest." which does an Injustice to the honet locator, as well a the honest set tler, on the Southern Pacific lands. The honest locator, who thoroughly does his work, of locating corners, tracing line and cruising timber, can make no more than ordinary cruiser's wages at the law fee of $M per quarter section ; while exposure and hardships are such that few men can en dure It. We understand that a certain firm has been fleecing, not settlers, but timber speculator by promising to secure for them a quarter section each of timber land with out the necessity of settlement or even sight of the land It Is such as these that Mr. Riches is after for Illegal use of the malls, and such who would have no prior right to the land houUl It revert to the Government. But the party . who makes settlement and files suit to compel the com pany to sell them the land according to the terms of the grant. In case the railroad Is held to comply with said terms, the courts will protect. And If. on the other hand the grants are forfeited, the settler who Is on the land at the time will be protected the same as the squatter. The rulings of the department have always protected such, and we believe always will. D. T. HOWARD. MEAD. GDSGRQVE GHUMS RIVAL CANDIDATES AT LOVE FEAST IX SEATTLE HOTEL. Bitter Political Enemies Say Xice Things About Each Other In the Hearing of "Mutual Friends. SEATTUE, Wash., Feb. 2S. (Special.) All Seattle, that is the politically wise of this city, is 'talking about the love feast held last night In the lobby of the Ar lington Hotel by Governor Albert E. Mead and Samuel J. Cosgrove, candidates for the office for which Mead is a can didate for re-election. "Mead and I are trying to persuade each other to retire from the race," said Cosgrove to orfe of a group of politicians which found the two In conversation. There were a few remarks and then, "Yes," continued the genial Mr. Cos grove, "I propose to stay here a month unless my friend Mead removes me." "Oh! you need have no fear of that," hastily interrupted Governor Mead. "I am always glad to find you here when I come to the Queen City. There is nothing" so welcome to my heart as the smile of an old friend." - "I must say." said Cosgrove. adverting to the subject of his ambition, "that things are looking very bright for me, but I hope ,to be able to get the Repub lican nomination without saying a word against men having the same political aspirations as I have." Political "dope"' is to the effect that under cover the two are most bitter po litical enemies, hence the wondering at their intimacy. Grays Harbor Prosperous. ABERDEEN. Wash., Feb. 28. (Special.)
