BIDS TO BE OPENED
Executive Board Will Take Up
City Lighting Tomorrow.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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

I am eighty-four years old, but never have J received
such benefit in so short

Neglect the trouble and dizziness, nerv

and limbs, dimming of the eyesight,
sediment in the urine, or fluttering of
the heart will mark the near approach,
of dropsy, gravel, stone in the kidney,
diabetes or Bright's disease.
Only in one way can kidney disorders
be checked and cured by prompt treat
ment of the kidneys themselves with a
special kidney remedy. Doan's Kidney
Pills are for the kidneys only. They
cure sick kidneys, clear and regulate
the urine, relieve strain upon the heart
and nerves, and cure backache, rheu
matic pain and dizziness. They are
recommended at home by people you
know.
PORTLAND PROOF
A. P. 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."
