STRAWBERRIES have been getting
steadily better in quality and lower
in price, 2 boxes for 35 cents now being
an average figure, with choicer ones at
15 and 20 cents a box, and less attractive
ones at 10 cents. Raspberries and goose
berries have also made their appearance,
the former 35 cents a box and the latter
cents a pound. The English "gooseberry
tart' has a reputation almost equal to
that of the American apple pie, but the
berries there are larger and do not call
for eo much patience In "topping and tail
ing" as do the smaller ones we have. The
raspberry, on the other hand, seems to
have been specially designed to meet the
busy American housekeeper.
Cherries are still small and cost 26 cents
a pound, but pineapples are rather
cheaper just now, judging from some
fairly large ones I saw at 25 cents each.
Some one recently told me of a fruit salad
composed of strawberries, shred pine
tipple and blanched and sliced new Bra
zil nuts, sftrved in the pineapple shell.
I cannot speak of it from personal ex
perience, but my informant said that it
was good.
Celery is rapidly passing, to the grief
of those who use it freely as a "filler"
In chicken and other meat salads? but
there are good green peas to be had that
ran be used for similar purposes, and
plenty of head lettuce and other nice
fresh things, dome people use raw chop
ped cauliflower in salads when celery
fails, considering it more sweet and more
Silicate than the cabbage which others
Tall back on. There are very good cauli
flowers to 'be had just now for 35 cents.
An admirable vegetable, the cauliflower,
and worthy of Its title, "the white rose
3f the kitchen garden."
There are tiny new Summer squashes
doming in. from which attractive entrees
Min be made by stuffing them in various
savory ways. The tomato and shrimp
combination with squash, known as
'squash a la Creole," is one that spe
cially appeals to me, and there are rather
similar concoctions with crab meat or
ninccd chicken or veal that also is good.
This kind of squash costs 20 cents a pound
it present. Tomatoes are 25 cents a
nound. New green lima beans. 25 cents,
ind string beans. 20 cents a pound.
Asparagus is still good and costs 10 to
cents a pound. A pretty way of
serving cold asparagus with mayonnaise
48 to pass the bunch of stalks through a
ring of green pepper; but peppers are
still "high," selling at 3 for 25 cents.
Shad Is plentiful and shad roe is 25
:cnts a pound Just now. Potted shad roe
imkos a handy and delicious sandwich
illing. There .is good sturgeon at io
?ents. salmon, croppies and cat fish be
ns tlie same price. Black-cod, rock cod
i ml hflHhut are 12; cents: sea trout. 2.1
cents; black bass, 35 cents, and perch and
herring, 10 cents a pound.
Poultry prices are the same as last
week.
ASK FOR WRIT OF REVIEW
Property-Owners Object to Method
of Grand-Avenue Improvement.
Property-owners on Grand avenue
have united in a petition to the Cir
cuit Court asking- that the City of Port
land, by, City Auditor Barbur, be di
rected to submit a writ of review for
the improvement of Grand avenue from
East Stark street to East Oak. The
petition sets forth that in October,
1905, the City Council attempted to
start proceedings to fill the gulch with
earth instead of putting; in a steel or
concrete bridge. It was estimated that
this would cost J15.000. Now that the
work has been completed it has been
discovered that the cost is $15,900. The
Council, it is asserted, ' attempted to
cure the evil by reassessment proceed
ings. This, it is alleged, cannot be
done while the first assessment still
stands, as the Council thereby acts in
a double judicial capacity. The ordi
nance to which objection is made is
No. 17.719, which the Council attempted
to pass April 13. 190S.
The property-owners whose names
appear on the petition filed in the Cir
cuit Court yesterday are: George J.
West. S. B. Cobb, Carrie Nicholas, John
J. Kadderly and Mary Beakey.

Xew Fly-Casting Records.
NEW YORK. May 15. Three world's
records were claimed by the members of
the Angler Club of New York in their
third annual fly and ibait-catching tourna
ment at the Harlem meet in Central
Park. Dr. R. Johnson Held, at his first
cast with a quarter-ounce bait covered
a distance of 141 feet, at his second a
distance of 1E0 feet, and his last of the
live tests netted him TBI feet. The previous
American record for amateurs was 131
feet 6 inches, made out doors, and 137
feet for professionals made indoors. Ed
Rice made a cast of 142 feet on his sec
ond attempt.
The salmon fly-casting championship for
distance was won by W. M. Plevins, of
Northamptonshire, England, who cast 129
feet, supplanting the old record of 1J0
feet. The professional record was in
creased to 140 feet by E. J. Mills from
124 feet 8 Inches.
