I N THE absence of written records X on the renaming of the streets which were until 1891 lettered In alphabetical order, the origin of the name of Kearney for K street will be obscured to some extent. Old residents of Portland are not positive whether it was named for Edward Smith Kearney or Thomas Kearney, but most people qualified to know are of the opinion Edward Smith Kearney was the honored man. Accounts of him are just as sparse as are the records of the naming of he streets. He was born In Phila delphia more than likely in 1838. A letter written by him refers to a visit to his boyhood haunts in 1876 and cites many changes in "38 yea's." He says he had his schooling In Phil adelphia more than 30 years'before. He came to Oregon early in the '60s and lived for quite a while In Rose burg, where he married. Matthew P. Deady, the first United States district Judge In Oregon, when rescuing a prisoner from a lynching mob, is supposed to have picked up young Kearney and thrown him backward over his head, thereby gaining the respect of the mob and saving a man's life. Deady and Kearney later became close friends. Kearney afterward went to Wash ington, where he became United States marshal. Some references are found of him In Walla Walla history, and his private letters reveal aspira tions to be governor of Washington territory. Later he came to Portland and In 1881 and 1882 was United States marshal for Oregon. He is also known Co have been connected with the transportation business in Oregcn City, but old Portland direc tories show him to have been a resi dent of the city from 1881 to 1897, when he died. He had divorced his first wife and in 1875 married Mrs. Sarah Stratton in San Francisco. He Is remembered for a taciturn disposition given to eccentricities. He left a peculiar will, one request being that he be buried alone, and he now lies in a mauso leum In Riverview cemetery well worth seeing. There is little ground to believe that the street was named for Thom as Kearney, although he came to Portland before Edward Smith Kear ney did. He was well known, but not prominent. His only office wss the presidency of the Portland Hibernian Benevolent society. However, close friendships are known to have ex isted between him and several men who had some say In choosing street Odds 9 Ends BY LILIAN TINGLE. HTIHE "Beginning Housekeeper" says JL "tell me something to do with the rest of the can of peas that can not be eaten by two people." Here are a few things that you can de with them, depending upon circumstances and how much you have left. Many other left-over vege tables may be similarly utilized. 1 Cook to a pulp with a little ad ditional flavoring such as a slice of onion and a small "soup bag," rub through a sieve and combine with slightly thickened milk to make a cream soup. 2 Combine the pulp with thick white sauce and eggs to make a souffle. You can find a recipe in any good cook book; or 1 will give one on request. 8 Use as garnish or filling for a French omelet. 4 Use with a morsel of ham (per haps an "odd end" itself), a bit of onion, tomato and green pepper or pimento to make a "Spanish sauce" (flavored with Spanish pepper) for use with an omelet, or cooked rice, or cooked macaroni, or fried corn meal mush. b Combine In a vegetable salad with any convenient vegetables. 6 Use In a "jardiniere" casserole with meat end other vegetables. 7 Combine with shrimps, crab, salmon (cooked or canned or kip pered perhaps a left-over), with a well flavored cream sauce to make a "Shrimp Wiggle" (or crab or salmon wiggle), to be served on toast or crackers, chafing dish style, or In little patty cases. The latter may have been made of odd ends of pie crust when you were making a pie Be sure to give an Individual sea soning to your "wiggle," so that it Is not "just shrimps and pease and white sauce." 8 Use in a meat or fish salad. This is especially useful when celery is scarce and a salmon or chicken salad is wanted. 9 Use In a vegetable loaf or vege table sausage. 10 Bake with 1 cooked diced po tatoes or rice and grated cheese in layers with a little white sauce to moisten and buttered crumbs on top.

Stringer was released but before departing was served with the papers in, the civil action which also had been delivered to the sheriff for serving. When Informed of Stringer's arrest his attorney, Mr. Fulton, said: "John Stringer is honest. He be lieved that he had a right to collect that extra money as every sheriff had done before him. I do not know who will defend him. I cannot say what action I will take In the case." BUILDING GAIN IS LARGE September Permits 122 Per Cent Greater Than In 1920.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-, storing faded, gray hair to Its natural color dates back to grandmother's time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attrac tive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied. .with wonderful effect. But brewing at home Is mussy and out of date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a bottle of "Wy eth's Sage and Sulphur Compound." you will get this famous old prepa ration, improved by the addition of other ingredients, which can be de pended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair. A well-known downtown druggist - says u airxem me nair bo naiurauy and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after an other application or two it becomes beautifully dark and glossy. Adv. Special Lunch 69c 11 130 A. M. to 3 P.- B. Tea Room, 4th Floor.
