DISPUTE WITH COMPANY 1 rouble Over Payment of Bills May Lead to Disagreement About New Contract Old One Expires Wltb Tear. Bids for city lighting, on the basis ef three and five years contracts, will be opened at S o'clock tomorrow aft ernoon by the lighting committee of the Executive Board. Great interest attaches to the event, as it Is highly Important. It Is certain there will be but one bid for electric lighting. This will be by the Portland Railway. Light & Power Company, which controls the current. It la possible the Portland Gas Company will bid on lighting pub lie buildings. When bids were previously opened. the Portland Railway. Light Power Company based Its bid on the con dition that the Executive Board would Idrop its fight against the company on I the matter of the deduction of the 'company's monthly bills, and the bid was rejected for that reason. For I many months the Board has cut off 'one-third from each bill or the com- Ipany for lights furnished, as Mayor I Lane and members or the lighting ! committee, after an Investigation, re I ported that the company was not sup ! plying the full amount of current called for In Its contract with the city. From time to time the Executive Board has adopted the report of the committee on lighting, containing the one-third cut. Thus far the company has made no definite move to collect, and several weeks ago the Board voted to pay the two-thirds of all 'claims, without prejudice to the city or the company. That a suit to col lect the remaining one-third of the : bills for the past eight months will be instituted Is understood. In view of all the facts in regard to the case, the meeting of the com mittee on lighting, to be held tomor row afternoon, becomes very import ant. Should the bids be unsatisfac tory to the committee, it is within the power of the committee to reject and. should this be done. It would bring abo a serious situation. Owing to 'the fact that but one month remains for the year, and the further fact that the present lighting contract ex pires Xecember 31, 1908. it would leave the city in a bad condition, should the company decide to shut off the lights at the expiration of the con tract. Owing to the high rate bid on in candescent lights In the last bid of the company. It is believed that, if the same rate is given, the committee will award the contract to the gas company, if it has In a reasonable bid. AH of the city buildings are equipped for gas and it is believed a big sav ing might be effected In this manner, j At one stage of. the matter. Mayor Lana and the members of the llgtiting committee of the Executive Board re ported in favor of the city purchasing the distributing plant, but the city j committee on lighting, after an ex haustive investigation, reported un favorable to any sort of municipal lighting proposition, under existing circumstances. The matter was then dropped, leaving it open only for bids, aa heretofore, and there being no op position electric power company, the city is dependent upon the Portland Railway, Light Power Company's bid, except where gas may be used in the public buildings.

SOME REFLECTIONS ON MINCE PIES, AND HALF DOZEN RECIPES Lilian Tingle Discourses entertainingly on History of Popular Sweetmeat, and Tells How to Make It. BT LILIAN TINGLE. THIS is the season when every good housekeeper with any respect for the traditions of her craft begins order ing raisins, citron and spice for the an nual "family Jars" of mincemeat. The apples and new season's dried fruits are in. Thanksgiving Is almost upon us, and Christmas Is not so very far ahead. And for all healthy, hearty old-fashioned eat ers. Thanksgiving and Christmas are closely connected with mince pie. Npt being descended from New Eng land stock. I feel that I cannot speak with authority as to whether mince pie Is strictly a proper dish for Thanksgiv ing. Pumpkin seems the more suitable pie for this season, but I know many earnest advocates of mince pie as well. Now "minced" or "shred" pies in Old England were very intimately associated with Christmas. They were much more complicated affairs than tlreir modern descendants (complicated and mysterious as some of these are. goodness knows) And were usually made oval or coffin ehaped to represent the Manger of the Christ-child and the rich gifts presented by the wise men from the Bast. At least that was one poular explanation of them. The English Puritans objected strongly to "minced pies and plum-pudding", at Christmas. A satire of 1656 describes our beloved mince pies as "Idolatrie in crust tmlnce pie. by the way. is accustomed to friard names: "chunks of concentrated In Ugestion," "mystery and misery' "glori fled hash," "triangles of trouble" these are only a few of the many choice epithets lavished upon lt. and presumably the Pilgrim Fathers would object to the Pil grim Mothers making mincemeat, even If hey had the Ingredients. But that surely would apply only to Christmas for Dr. Johnson says. "We have never been witnesses of animosities excited by th use of minced pies and plum-porridge, nor seen with what ab horrence those who could eat them at all other times In the year would turn from them In December." Those better versed than I In the Rls tnry of New England can decide this point; but In the meantime the fact re mains that mincemeat improves by keep ing and is best made at home. A high authority on gastronomic mat ters lays down the law as follows: "We strongly recommend every young house keeper to adopt 1n this favorite prepara tion the receipt of her own grandmother. Thl. mipht to nrniitir. t h . verv best of Christmas pies." That is all very well: but what If your grandmother never made mincemeat or neglected to leave you her receipt? Judging from several requests lately re ceived, there are several young house keepers In Po-Uand with such Inconsider ate grndmotlK rs. So. in .pita of the tstemeot that "every family receipt book teems with rnincemea. prescrip tions." I shall offer here a few typical red pea. This Is of New England origin: 4 pounds cooked beef; 1 pound sugar; 1 quart molasses. 4 preserved quinces or t glasses of quince Jelly: 1 pounds seeded rajsins: oranges (Juice and rind): 1 tablespoon, each, ground cinnamon and mace: t pounds suet: 2 pounds chopped apples: S pints boiled cider; H-Pound chopped citron: t pounds currants: 1 lemons (rind and Juice): 1 grated nutmeg; t tablespoons salt; one teaspoon cloves. Tha meat. suet, citron, raisins and ap ples are all very flnely minced by hand or machine. The raisins and currants must, of course, be well washed and dried; and all the Ingredients weil-mixed before being packed away In stone or glass Jars. Tha proper cooking of the auet la a I difficult point In the baking of mince pie. In the next recipe, also of New England origin, this difficulty Is avoid ed by boiling the suet (be sure to get good beef kidney suet) with the meat, and using the rich gresy broth for moistening the mixture: Three and a half pounds lean beef and one pound suet, minced and cooked until tender In a small quantity of water; (cook ing In a double boiler Is a good plan for this); one peck apples, peeled, cored and chopped; two quarts cider; four and a half pounds sugar: three pounds seedless raisins; three pounds currants; four teaspoons cinnamon; one teaspoon each cloves and mace; one tablespoon salt. The following Is a celebrated old English recipe, which was very popu lar in my childhood: Two pounds boiled beef tongue and two pounds suet, both flnely minced; two pounds apples, two pounds raisins, three pounds currants, cne pound sugar, two oranges, two lemons (peel and Juice), one-half pound citron peel, one-half pound candied orange peel, two nut megs (grated), one-half ounce ginger, one-half ounce allspice, one teaspoon cloves, one teaspoon salt, one pound blanched and chopped almonds, half a pint brandy or pineapple rum. My own grandmother disapproved of meat, suet cr liquor In her pies, and our family recipe was as follows: Two pounds Muscatel raisins, stoned and chopped; two pounds currants; one pound sultanas, chopped; two pounds brown sugar; one pound mixed candled peel; three pounds chopped sour ap ples; grated rind and Juice of two lemons and two oranges: one small glass currant Jelly; one pound melted butter; one teaspoon each nutmeg, mace, cinnamon, ginger, one-half tea spoon cloves; a few drops almond es sence. Another vegetarian -recipe may be useful. It is less rich than the fore going, but well liked by many peo ple: One pound currants, one pound raisins, one-half pound Bugar, quar ter pound brown bread crumbs, three oranges, two lemons (rind and juice), one fourth pound mixed candled peel, one half pound marmalade, one-half pound mixed nuts, salt and spices to taste. Finally It may be of interest to read the original Instructions of Mrs. Glasse the author of the Immortal "first catch your hare" recipe: "Take three pounds good suet, shred fine and chop as small as possible, and two pounds of raisins, stoned and chopped as small as possible; two pounds of ?aiue currants washed and dried at a fire, 60 good pip pins, pared, cored and chopped small; half a pound fine pounded sugar, one-fourth ounce mace and one-fourth ounce cloves, beat fine. Put all together in a great pan and mix well with half a pint brandy and half a pint sack. (The modern cook would use "cooking" sherry). Put It down close In a stone pot and it will keep good four months. When you make your pies, take a little dish, something bigger than a soup plate, lay a very thin crust all over, then a layer of meat, then a layer of citron cut thin, then a layer of mince meat, then a layer of orange peel, cut thin. Over that a little meat. Then squeeze tha Juice of a good Seville orange and pour In three spoonfuls of red wine. Lav on your crust and bake It nicely. "These pies eat fine cold that Is of course If you have no care of "what dreams may come." Considering all these recipes one Is In clined to believe that the old lady was not far wrong who gave as her instruc tions "go all around the house and put In some of everything that's good. Then. go around the house again and put in PREDICT ANOTHER STORM Mosquito Fleet Which Was Barbound In Several Harbors, Getting Back to Schedule Steamship Alli ance Is Delayed Two Days. Weather has moderated on the Ore gon and Washington Coasts and ship ping has been resunxed. Vessels of the mosquito fleet which have been bar bound in the several harbors, have been able to get away and coastwise business will soon be back on the schedule which was Interrupted by the gales of the last week, unless the storm now approaching from the west ward develops Into a gale. The steamship Alliance, which sailed last night for Coos Bay, was more than two days late In arriving here frrom Marshfleld and North Bend. She was barbound at the bay and It was not until Thursday that Captain Olson felt that it was safe to proceed to sea. The southeast gale helped the Alliance out on the voyage up the Coast. Steam schooners and other small craft plying In the coastwise trade have been forced to lay to on account of weather. All are off schedule. The Winter season has set In In earnest and it will be hard picking for the diminutive vessels plying in the coast ing trada during the next three months. Good Boating Stage on Willamette. Rains during the past week have raised the Willamette River to a 6.8 foot stage at Eugene. This Is a rise of 3.8 feet during the past 24 hours. The rise at Salem was .1.7 feet and at Portland .3 feet. This gives a good boating stage on the Upper Willamette and steamers will resume to points aa far south as Albany. The weather forecast is for continued rains and a much greater rise is anticipated. The flood stage at Eugene" Is ten feet, but this stage Is not looked for until February. Burnside Bridge Lights. In answering the criticism of the Burn- side bridge lights. Engineer Harry Stuts man said that the lights were placed on th bridge on Its completion 16 years ago. In accordance with the Government re quirements, and have been so maintained ever since. He doubts whether they can be "Improved" so they can be seen for a distance of five miles, as the view Is obstructed by the other bridges and by the bends of the river.

OREGON MEDICAL INSTITUTE 29iy2 Morrison St., Between Fourth and Fifth, Portland, Or. . MAN, I CAN CD No matter if you have been pronounced Incurable by any other physician, don't on that account hesitate to come to me for treatment. I have cured hundreds of men who had been told that they were incurable. Remember, that my methods are original with me. and are the result of many years' experience In medical practice. I effect a cure in every case I take for treatment, because my treatment is adjusted to the needs of each patient with scientific precision. I leave nothing to guesswork. I KNOW when I begin treating a jjailent that I will perform a complete and permanent CURE. Such a cure by my treatment Is just as certain as that two and two make four. I cleam that nothing less than complete eradication of the disease from the sys tem Is a real cure. I treat to completely remove the disease and not merely the symp toms. I drive out every root and fiber of the ailment and effect a cure that will make you strong and vigorous for a lifetime. The cures I effect are the result of my thorough knowledge of every phase of the disease I treat and to the fact that I apply Individual treatment to each case. In every instance I know the ailment and I know the cure for it. The fact that I agree to wait for my fee until you are cured is proof of my confidence in 'my ability to cure in every case. Some physicians assert that certain diseases of men are incurable. I deny that and stand ready to PROVE that by my methods there is no disease peculiar to men that cannot be cured. You Can Pay Me When You Are Cured DR. TAYLOR. The Leading Specialist. VARICOCELE Under my treatment the most aggravated cases of varicocele are cured in a few days time. There is no pain, and it Is seldom neces sary that the patient be detained from his occupation. Normal cir culation Is at once restored throughout all the organs and their natural processes of waste and repair are again established. If you are afflicted with varicocele consult me at once. Delay can bring on aggravated conditions and nervous complications and involve the general health. No other physician employs a like treatment, and so thorough Is my work that there need not be the slightest fear of a relapse Into old conditions. HI EXPERIENCE Twenty - five years of successful practice in Men's Diseases enable me to apply the proper methods and medicines. I treat Varicocele, Hydroc ele, Contracted Disorders, Specific Blood Poison, Piles and Stricture restoring all affected organs to normal and healthy ac tion In the shortest possible space of time. FHF.E CONSULTATION To judge my ability without per sonal consultation may be an in justice to yourself that will cost a lifetime of suffering. Consultation is free and confidential and you place yourself under no obligation to me whatever by comfng to talk with me about your case. SPECIFIC BLOOD POISOX Others dose the system with min eral poisons scarcely less danger ous than the disease itself. The best they hope to do by this treatment Is to keep the disease from manifesting its presence upon the surface of the body. Under my treatment the entire system is cleansed. The last taint of virus is destroyed. Every symptom van ishes to appear no more. I employ harmless, blood - cleansing remedies heretofore unknown in the treat ment of this disease. They cure by neutralizing and absolutely de itroying the poison in the system. 3uch cures cannot be other than ;omplete and permanent. STRICTURE My treatment for stricture re noves the necessity for surgical jperations even in severe cases of long standing. I do no cutting nor dilating. No other physician em ploys my methods of overcoming you i3 original and distinctive. Do not give up hope because others have failed. I will cure you and the cure will be a prompt and pain legs one. My treatment dissolves the stricture, subdues all Inflam mation, relieves all Irritation or congestion that may exist in the kidneys or bladder, reduces enlarge ment of the prostate gland and re stores health and tone in all organs affected by the disease. All medicines are prepared in my own private laboratory and are ab solutely fresh and pure. MY FEE IS $10 In Any- Uncomplicated Disorder. CONTRACTED DISORDERS To but partially cure a contract ed disease is almost aa dangerous as to allow it to go untreated. Un iess every particle of infection and inflammation Is removed the prob ability exists that the disease will gradually work its way into the general system. Still greater is the danger of the prostate gland becoming chronically inflamed, which always brings partial or complete loss of power. Perhaps 25 per cent of the cases of so-called "weakness" are a direct result of some improperly treated contracted disease. During the past five years I have treated thousands of cases of contracted disorders and have effected an absolutely thor ough and safe cure in each instance.

Boy's Teeth Grew Down. NEW YORK, Nov. 21. Hcbc-t Cos man's teeth grew up instead of down, and for that reason he is i patient In St. Luke's Hospital here today. An op eration has been performed, however, which Is believed to have been success ful and Cosman's rapid recovery with his mouth restored to Its normal condi tion Is expected. Cosman Is 21 years old. He lives up the Hudson, at New burg. Twelve years ago three teeth In his upper jaw two molars and a bicuspid were removed, but strangely, no new second teeth appeared and the cavltle3 remained. As the years passed his jaw began to pain him and later grew un shapely. The pain finally became so se vere that he decided upon an operation. The surgeons located the contrary teeth by means of the X-ray. The population of Canada is now about S.B00.0O0. A Fortune in Dope TVTien a man wants to get rich quick nowadays he foists a patent medicine on the public There is im mense profit in the business for those who make the tiiff. Three cents' worth of morphine in a bottle of alcohol and water sells for a dollar, but It wouldn't cure In a hun dred years. More than half the drugs you buy are just a lot of poisonous trash, that wrecks the stomach and nerves and eats up your vitality. The physician writes his prescriptions in se cret symbols, go that his patients can not know what they are gettiing. You'll pay a doctor two-fifty or five dollars for a prescrip tion and the druggist a dollar or so more for the medicine. That pre scription may be an order for sugar and water or ten cents' worth of dope, but you are none the wiser and pay the druggist's price. Thousands of suffer ers are sent to their erraves bv the secret mixtures of medical fakers who fatten upon the earn ings of the sick and weak. They magnify your ailment a hundred times and keep you in a state of dejec tion as long as It is possible for them to sell you their dope. It is about time you had learned what I've claimed for years, that drugs are made to sell, not to cure. I have a remedy that cures. I can prove It and I don't ask you to believe me until I do. This remedy is not a drug. It is nature's own medicine electricity. The only way to cure any ailment is to give nature the power to cure it. Electro-Vigor does that while you sleep. All night long it saturates the nerves and vitals with new life. It gives strength and energy to every organ that is weak or inactive, enabling it to do Its work as nature intended. When every organ of your body has all the electric energy Jt needs there can be no pain or weakness, your blood will be rich and pure, your nerves strong and you can defy disease. Electro-Vigor is the only successful appliance for in fusing electricity into the body. It makes Its own JUL Mm f f TSl HORPHPC ALCOHOL WATER power and does not shock or blister.

Manev. living on Hawthorne Terrace, Portland, Or., says: "I used Doan's Kidney Pills and the results were so satisfactory that I take pleas ure in recommending them to other sufferers. My work subjects me to a great deal of jarring and as a result my kidneys became disordered, causing sharp, knifelike pains in my back. I was greatly handicapped while work ing and, being desirous of ridding my self of this trouble, I decided to give Doan's Kidney Pills a trial, procuring a box from the Laue Davis Drug Co. I found prompt relief through their use and finally a complete cure. Al though this took place over three years airo there has never been a return of the troilbie, clearly showing that Doan's Kidney Pills cure permanently." EiillMinUJIIlBlMMII.llllllli '$ KIDNEY.
