Portland Gas Company. City Attorney Had , Collected Evi dence Showing Central Sand Company to Be Governing Prices of Output. The Central Sand Company, alleged to have been, during Its life, one of the most flagrant "trusts" in Protland, has been disbanded. That it controlled ab solutely every bit of sand and thereby had the contractors of the city at its mercy while in existence. Is said to be a fact. About three' months ago. quiet Investi gation of the alleged illegal combine, known as the Central Sand Company, was commenced by a representative of the City Attorney's office. People who had come snto conflict, with the concern frequently appealed for help to the City Attorney, and were bitter in their com plaints. . Some had been 'put out of bu siness," they declared, because of dis putes they had with the czar-like officials in control. "This condition continued until -a short time ago, when, it is now as serted, the alleged "trust" was disolved by mutual consent of the interested stock holders and directors. - It developed yesterday that the Cen tral Sand Company, in the opinion of the representative of the City Attorney, was the most flagrant "trust In Portland. It is learned that much evidence was secured and that, in all probability, crim inal proceedings would have been started in the near future, had not -the alleged Illegal combine been dissolved. The Central Sand Company maintained offices at 204-5 McKay building, and ita officers were J. M. Nickum, president: Christ Minsinger, vice-president, and Faye J. Jackson, secretary and treasurer. Every grain of sand used in Portland, it is, declared,- was controlled by the al leged combine, and to It every con tractor and every one using building pro ducts was compelled to bow. Its prices were controlled strictly, it is . said, and its 'bills were absolute: no disputes over bills were ever adjusted, the company- holding to its own accounts every one who .dealt with It. It weighed its own sand, and allowed no questions to be asked as to whether full weight was given in every instance. In other words, it was the absolute dictator of price. quantity, quality and everything else In the handling of- sand in this city. Investigation by the City Attorney's representative revealed that the Central Sand Company had absolutely "put out of business" some contractors who dis puted its bills. It was said to be one of the strictest rules of the alleged com bine to sell nothing to any man who dared dispute its accounts, and several who did so were put on the "black list and had to' retire from business because they could not buy sand elsewhere. After the investigation had proceeded until the evidence ail but justified the filing of a complaint, some one "leaked' and the Information that prosecutions were in store was conveyed to . the offi cials of the concern. Within the last few days word reached the City Attorney's office that the "trust" had been dissolved. It took 'but a little investigation upon the part of the office representative to verify the truth of the rumor, and it now seems certain that the alleged illegal concern will not be .subjected to prosecution. It is noted - that the nriee nf nanri ha dropped si Ace the dissolution of the com bine,, and contractors say that there is again competition in building materials and they are therefore able to do busi ness without first going to the Central Sand Company s office.

QsglLI y-j-s' Q : COME to dav. Improvement in Cooking Step Toward Millennium Dr. Wiley Declares That the Next American Social Movement Will Deal With Unscientific Methods in the Kitchen. : BY LILIAN E. TINGLE. MUCH comment and discussion have resulted from the remarks recently made toy Dr." Wileyof the Bureau of Chemistry, "Washington, TJ. C He says the next great - social movement in America will be toward an Improvement In American cooking." Most of us, es pecially such as have "boarded around," or In any other way have had oppor tunity to observe the wonders and ter rors of some kinds of "home cooking," or who have had. occasion to plumb the remarkable depths of Ignorance displayed by many who earn, ' or expect to earn, good wages by cooking, will join In a fervent hope that Dr. Wiley is a trtie prophet: and indeed on every hand there are encouraging signs that such a move ment has not only begun, but is very rapidly gaining ground. Schools, colleges, clubs, philanthropic organizations And great business houses in all parts of the country are taking up different phases of domestic science, of which cookery is an important feature. A memorial has been presented to Con gress to establish a Bureau of Domestic Science. This memorial calls attention to the vast outlays of the Government to investigate the source of food supplies and methods of production, and asks of what value is this if the food product is ruined through ignorance, in cooking. Ignorance is not the worst enemy, how ever.. As a well-known writer on do mestic topics puts it: "A condition of healthy ignorance is a promising one; but to have the whole case prejudged already labelled commonplace: we know ail about it. and laid aside this is a nalmost in surmountable wall." Add to the defence of the wall the unscientific attitude of mind among many of us who really wish to progress in these matters, this makes us an easy prey to faddists who offer absolute . rules - of diet and beautiful phrases about "natures way." supporting their- ideas by poetic analogies rather than by the slower and less attractive results of scientific investigation.. I once heard canned fruits-even the purest of home-canned fruit denounced as unwhole some, not on account of preservatives or anything of that kind, but because the speaker seriously believed that if nature had intended us to eat fruit during the cold Winter, fresh fruit would grow at that season. Everyone cart probably re call similar earnest and well-meant 'na ture teachings, which serve to darken the sufficiently difficult questions of diet and hinder many from their more reasonable study. Still the need for thorough study is being generally recognized, and it is becoming the exception rather than the rule to meet persons who despise the art of cooking or who consider it a matter that any woman can "pick up," if she is bo unlucky as. to be obliged to do so by force of circumstances or lack of money. Of course, for generations, cook ing and housekeeping have been "picked up" by innumerable ' women who have later become notable housekeepers. But who has counted the cost of all the mistakes made in attaining excellence? Once, after - giving a talk upon some points of cooking and dietetics, I was ap proached by a lean yellow, individual, obviously a martyr to dyspepsia. Tbats the sort of preaching to do," he said approvingly. K3et the girls to studying what they ought to know. My mother is really ft- fine cook now. and knows lots .bout feeding, and dosing children.' But," he sighed and laid his hand not on his heart but In -the region of a long-suffering digestive organ, '1 was the oldest of ten, and my wife has' had to practise on me too. ' I tell you some things are pretty hard on a man.-" Dr. Wiley's statement' that he found sanitary conditions better in France than at home, the cooking better, and the peoplo healthier in appearance, has caused some- indignation among the many women who insist on making a personal application of all general re marks. One old lady voiced the feel ings of many of her countrywomen when she exclaimed: "He thinks French cooking better than American, does he? Well, I'd just like htm. to taste one of ray nut-and-raisln layer cakes, and a' piece of my punkin pie! I guess his wife must be a mighty poor manager." Compliments or criticisms on mat ters gastronomic are always likely to cause International friction.' I see In a Scottish newspaper a lively corre spondence, , not altogether devoid of pointed personalities, is being carried on as to which side of the border owns, the best cooks.- One side makes the statement that only in England does one see white-faced anaemic children whose systems -are ruined by "Jelly pieces" and cups of tea, because the English don't know how to make broth and -porridge. The other side retorts: "My husband, who is a Scotchman, so admired English cooking and good housekeeping that he determined to marry an English girt. My seven years' experience in Scotland con vinces me that Scotswomen cannot cook, and my friends confirm this statement." Another says': "To say English folk cannot make porridge is ridiculous In the extreme. English women of the working class know how to make good bread (the staff of life), roast a joint (always to be found' on the Sunday dinner table of the working man), besides keeping a clean' house and bringing up a family." "Very well, but hear what a Scotswoman I has to say about the Sunday joint: "I have heard tbem say that should know, 1 that there's thousands upon thousands o' hosses in Lun'on whar they ne'er saw a: broth trencher, let-a-be a pot o' fat kail;' cauld, comfortless, wasterf u', gude-f or- j naething ganglngs on for man. wife and i wean! Their roast Joint get them up! j scouthered to a cinder in a baker's oven a hunger and a buret dear - bought at first, and a short outcome for a work-! ing man's family, compared to two orj three potg-fu' a' gude barley broth." ! You see in cookery, as in other things, so much depends upon the point of view. ' Advice to Koss Bunk Officers. PORTLAND, Jan. 17. (To the Kdltor.) Quoting from The Oregonian ot January 11: j "We don't hear any loud demand from the attorneys of J. Thorburn Ross et al. for ' a speedy trial." Why of course not! Any; such thing as sced, in a case of that kind would be yeryunfashlonahle and altogether i improper. So long as those men have a ; supply of money to dole out to the lawyers, so Ions will tbe lawyers And causes for delay on any kind of pretext. But when the !H-rotten funds are exhausted, ab! then let the rascals "look a leetle our!." If a poor man stole a loaf because ho was hungry, there would be no delays. Justice (save the mark), would be swift and sure. It would be a gratuitous Insult to a high way robber to compare the wreckers of the Title Guarantee ft Tmst Company with him, for he has at least the grit to take some pretty biff chances: but whatever the out- ' come 'ot the lnriuiry. whether delayed or not. the characters of those men are blasted forever in the eyes of this community, so the best advice that I can think of Is that they fold their tents like the Arab, -and silently sneak away.
