THE MORXING OREGOXIAN. SATURDAY, MARCH 7, 1908.
ET LILIAN TINGLE.
THERE are signs of Spring in the
markeU a well aa in the millinery
stores. Asparagus made its ap
jKfarance during the past week, costing,
however, from 35 to cents a pound.
New potatoes are also to be seen, at three
pounds for 25 cent, and blanched dande
lion, for salads or to be served as a
cooked vegetable, at 15 cents a pound.
Dandelion Is both wholesome and ap
petising when properly treated; and
aithougrh the cultivated kinds are much
superior to the persistent plague of our
lawns, the latter if caught young and
blanched like chicory or endive is very
good, alone or combined with lettuce ac
cording to tate. and can easily be had
'free of charge."
Turnip are now coming with fine green
tops that are often wasted by the woman
who would spend many dollars for far
loss effective complexion beautitiers. But
then it is much easier to apply lotions
and creams, or to swallow "Spring
medicines'" and "biood purifiers,' than it is
to learn how to prepare and eat greens
and simple fresh salads and take plenty
of fresh air and exercise. A good way
to nerve young turnips and their tops is
to make a puree of the latter and sur
round it with the roots, like koht-rabi;
or you may scoop them into cups if they
nre of suitable mite and serve the puree
(with or without chopped egg) in these.
Artichokes are particularly good this
wek and so Is watercress. The heart
celery was very nice and there were a
few good peas at 15 cent a pound. Hot
I house cucumbers still cost 26c each. Very
few tomatoes appeared, those I saw being
j 30 cents a pound. Very good Spanish
squash were to be had at JO cents, and
"individual' cream pquash at 5 cents
: each. Eggplant was 25 cents a pound.
I There was plenty of field lettuce and
chicory, but most of the latter seemed not
j very well blauched and more suited for
1 a puree than a salad.
1 saw a small quantity of shad roe
I at 75 cents a pound, and of Columbia
River shad at 25 cents. There was some
I good sturgeon, mackerel and Chinook
saimon an w cenui a pounu, uui hu era.
trout yesterday. Columbia River smelt
was selling at two pounds for 25 cents
and California smelt were 15 cents a
pound. For the rest the prices were un
changed, sole, catfish, rock cod and crop
pies 15 cents; black cod and halibut 12H
cents; perch, herring and flounder 10
cents- a pound.
Chicken prices tend to be a little higher.
That ever useful creature 'a good hen"
costs 25 cents a pound. Just like turkey.
Squabs are $1 a pair and ducks (very
good ones these were) 30 cents a pound.
Geese were the lowest in price, at about
20 cents.
The fruit list and price ar both the
same as last week; but I heard a
prophesy of early strawberries, so we can
live in hope and on oranges, apples, grape
fruit and bananas. in the mean time. I
think a shortcake with canned logan-
J berries of good quality and plenty of
j whipped cream Is a pretty good dish for
l thi time of year; and if you have no
j berries of your own there are many
; places now where good home canned fruit
1 is for sale at reasonable rates.
CONFISCATES PROPERTY.
Argues That Single-Tax Proposal Is
Worse Than Socialism.
rOHTUAND. March 5.-(To the BMitor.)
That the eingle tax receives support in
certain quarters, and faJU to receive it
in others, may be due to a misunder
standing as to what the measure really
stands for.
Every one knows that the single tax
is a tax upon land to the exclusion of
other forms of property, but this is very
far from being all that it represent. The
tax on land is only a means to an end.
The theory of the singletaxers is that
ail land should be owned in common
should be the property of the community.
Private ownership of land is denounced,
and all the evils and shortcomings of
modern civilization, whether social,
economic or political, are traced to such
private ownership. It is proposed to
remedy these evils by imposing so heavy
a tax upon land that private ownership
will cease to be profitable. Private rents
are to be taxed out of existence. The
idea. is. in hrief. to confiscate the land
of Individual owners for the benefit of the
public. This single tax Is a confiscatory
measure.
It is sometimes asked if the single tax
is not Socialistic in nature. It is some
thing worse than Socialism. The econo
mic principles of Socialism are. as gen
erally understood, the ownership of all
property In common, and. in order to
bring: this about, the confiscation of all
forma of property for the benefit of the
community. The single taxers, upon the
other hand, believe In the public owner
ship of but one form ot property land,
and urge the confiscation of land for the
"b-nefit of those who either have no
property at all, or have It In other forms.
True Socialism means equal treatment
for all. The single tax means the shift
ing of the burdens of all to the shoulders
of a particular clam.
This la the single tax in its practical
applications. When the voters of Ore
gon come to pass upon the measure, those
who believe that it Is right and Just
that one class of property holders should
lie despoiled of their property for the
benefit of other property holders, may
vote In Its favor. Those who believe
that the ownership of land is no greater
crime than the ownership of houses, or
ships, or stocks, or bank accounts; that
private property should not be con
fiscated, or that, at the least, if there is
to be confiscation, it should be made
to bear on all alike, will vote a Bains t it.
JOHN TOYMAN.
HOOD RIVER FLOAT DESIGN
3IodcI Accepted for Kcpresentation
in Hose Festival Parade.
Designs were accepted and contract
ftianed for a mammoth floral float to
represent Hood River in the All-Oregon
parade of the June Rose Festival yester
day. Final arrangements were consum
mated between Hood River business men
and the executive committee of the Fes
tival, and the float-builders will begin at
cne upon the design selected. The Hood
River float will fost in the neighborhood
of Jinno and will be symbolical of the
principal industries of the fertile va41ey.
The chW feature of the piece will be
a big red apple, upon which the quen
will have her throne. Surrounding the
apple and half submerging the huge
golden cornucopia which Is also a part
of the superstructure of the float, will
he massive clusters uf rich, luscious Hood
River strawberries, while out of the
cornucopia will pour all the varied pro
ducts of the district.
Kesidcs the queen, nearly a score of
young girls, draped in appropriate cos
tume, will ride on the picturesque float,
pnd these human pictures will be se
lected by a voting contest which will
soon be inaugurated at Hood River.
A Vplcce band, the largest local ag
gregation of musicians ever gathered to
gvther, has been donated to the Festival
to take part In the parade to precede the
p(f benetlt performance to be held at the
Marquam ;rand Theater next Friday
afternoon. This donation is by the local
Musicians' t'nion. which will also furnish
a largely augmented orchestra for the
aliow itself.

MRS. WHITNEY'S VERSION
Says McGrevy Shot Her Husband
Without Just Provocation.
An account of the killing of W. G.
Whitney, February 25, by J. M. McGrevy,
has been received in a letter by a Port
land friend of Mrs. Whitney. Her version
of the crime is entirely different from the
first reports that were sent out from
Payette, near where the shooting oc
curred, and if correct, shows that McGrevy
was the assailant and dki not shoot In
self-defense, as he had declared. Mr.
and Mrs. Whitney were well known in
Portland and Seaside. Writing from
Boise, Mrs. Whitney says:
"Mr. Whitney's acquaintance with Mc
Grevy was about a year. Last Spring;
he rented McGrevy a ranch. Mr. Whit
ney left him in possession and the friend
liest feelings existed. However, when Mr.
Whitney returned to Idaho, last Fall,
from Seaside," he found McGrevy had dis
posed of all the fruit and collected the
money and. although Mr. Whitney re
peatedly asked him for a statement of
the fruit sold and the business done,
that "they might have a- settlement, he
could not get McGrevy to do anything.
Mr. Whitney then began legal pro
ceedings to compel him to do so. By
this time his lease had expired and he
moved off of our property.
"There was still some hay unsold. This
Mr. Whitney notified him not to touch,
as his lawyer advised him to hold that
for the money due him from McGrevy
for fruit sold. Half of the hay was Mr.
Whitney's to begin with, according to the
contract. Tast Tuesday Mr. Whitney
went to see his ranches before return
ing to Boise and found that McGrevy
had sold or contracted the sale of all the
hay and had men with a hay baler at
work baling the hay for shipment.
"Mr. Whitney notified them that they
were trespassing and to stop work at
once. They went to McGrevy's home and
told him Mr. Whitney would not allow
them to continue work. McGrevy then
came to the hay. and when 30 feet a ay
from Mr. Whitney, pulled a gun and shot
him three times, the first shot proving
fatal. Mr. Whitney was unarmed.
"After the murder. McGrevy Jumped on
a norse, went to Payette, where he gave
himself up and told a garbled string of
untruths that were telegraphed to the
papers before a true account of the mur
der was known. Mr. Whitney never went
armed' and the story that he ehaserl Mc
Grevy with a club around the house Is
false, as the house was over a half-mile
from the scene of the shooting. Mr.
Whitney always got along well with his
renters and help and was good to them."
HEARS REPORT ON WRECK
Commissioner Aitchison Investigat
ing: Pendleton Smash-up.
Investigation by Clyde B. Aitchison
of the State Railroad Commission Into
the causes of the wreck on the O. R.
& N., near Pendleton Wednesday morn
ing, was continued yesterday. Bert
Huffman, of Pendleton, reported to the
commissioner that In his opinion there
was no necessity for the commission to
visit the scene of the wreck in the
hope of obtaining; more definite evi
dence, for the reason that he had made
a. careful Investigation of the roadbed
and tracks and found thm to be in
pood condition. Mr, Huffman is a
former engineer and hia report will be
considered today In connection with
whatever representations the official?
of the railroad company make.
Should nothing further develop In
connection with the condition of the
rails and roadbed the blame for the
wreck will be laid to the train crew
for exceeding; a af speed on the curve
contrary to rules. Mr. Aitchison will
har additional reports today from rail
road officials and the blame then will
bo fixed.
