BT LILIAN TINGLE.
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.

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.
