THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 21, 1909 WILL BUILD HUE DFFIGESTRUGTURE Street Railway Corporation to Erect 9-Story Building at Seventh and Alder. WORK WILL BEGIN AT ONCE Block to Be Occupied by Tower Transforming Plant and Offices . of Company Will Be Com pleted by September. Another first-class office building for Portland was decided upon yester day when President Josselyn of the Portland Railway. Light & Power Com pany, after conferences with Vice President Clark, of Philadelphia, an nounced that a modern, nine-story building will be erected at once over the substation at the corner of Sev enth and Alder streets. The building; will reach to the top of the Orcgonlan building, which It joins on the west. The general offices of the big elec tric corporation will be moved Into the new structure upon Its completion and the Klrst and Alder street head quarters building will be rented. Work will start at once upon the buildins. and It Is expected to have It completed ready for occupancy by September 1. Th cost will be $235,000. "The building- will be of steel and reinforced concrete." said President Josselyn yesterday. "It will have brick facing: and be first class In every way. The contract Is now being arranged with the Hurley-Mason Company. Seven months Is calculated as tlio time necessary for construction and work will commence at once. "The present substation will be re tained In the basement of the build ing;. The first two floors will also be given over to the machinery that now occupies the substation, together with the big storage battery and addition al apparatus to be Installed to feed the underground distributing system. We will require three floors of the new building for our offices and the re maining four stories will be rented to other tenants." The building will cover ground ppace 100x100 feet and will add no little to the appearance of that sec tion of the city. With the new Meier & Frank building at Sixth and Alder and the Wilcox hotel building at Sev enth and Stark, the new electric com pany's structure will form a strong addition to the skyscraper group on Seventh and Sixth streets In that neigh borhood. The electric company has long needed a modern office building, the quarters at First and Alder streets being plainly inadequate to the needs of the company. In order to house the various departments, quarters have been rented In the bulldlag across First street from the headquarters and at First and Pine streets. When the new structure is completed, all the offices of the company will be centra lized in one home. Although the present headquarters I will be rented when the electric com pany vacates, the waiting rooms on the ground floor will be retained for the convenience of the patrons of the company.

Spanish Sauce, Fruit Salads and "Au Gratin," Best Ever In Answering Correspondents, Lilian Tingle Gives Some Simple Recipes That Make Average Man's Month Water. BT LILIAN TINGLE. Answers to CorTesiKndent. MRS. V. A. P. (Portland) asks for "a hot Spanish sauce that can be eaten with meat or used for Spanish omelet. I hope-one or an other of the following sauces may prove useful. They are all of the type commonly used In Spanish omelets, but are also good with meat, rice, beans. hominy, macaroni, fried corn-meal, or guocchi. If It was the sauce for "chill con came" that you wanted, please write to me again, and I will gladly give a recipe. Spanish sauce No. 1 Cook 1 table spoonful each of fine chopped onion and green peppers In 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil until yellow; add 1 Vt cups canned or fresh tomatoes, peeled or cut In small pieces. If pre ferred without the seeds, stew sepa rately and strain the tomatoes before adding to the other Ingredients. Let stew gently 10 to 15 minutes, until well reduced. Add 1 teaspoon beef ex tract, with salt, Cayenne, and a few drops of tabasco sauce to taste. This will give either a mild savory mixture or a raging hot one, as desired. The above quantity Is enough for a four egg omelet, or for one made with three whole eggs and two yolks. Make the French, not the puffy omelet. Before folding, spread some sauce over the omelet and surround with the rest. Another Good One. Spanish sauce No. 2. Make as above, but rub the pan with a crushed clove of garlic before adding the oil or but ter. A level tablespoon of flour may be used to thicken the sauce. Add it before the tomatoes. Add. with the other Ingredients, a little chili pepper cut In small pieces, and from U to cup sliced mushrooms, canned or fresh. Season with salt, cayenne, a pinch of sugar, and a dash of lemon juice. If the tomatoes are lacking In flavor. Mush rooms are also an Improvement to sauce No. 1. Spanish sauce No. 3. One tablespoon olive oil or butter, 2 tablespoons chopped raw ham. 1 clove garlic, 2 tablespoons chopped onion. 2 table spoons chopped green peppers, 1 table spoon chopped celery (leaf or stalk). 1 tablespoon flour. 2 cups stewed toma toes. 1 teaspoon beef extract, cup small sliced mushrooms. The last two Ingredients may be omitted if strict economy must be studied. Rub the pan with garlic. Melt the butter and cook together the onion, ham. celery, green pepper, and if raw, the mushrooms. Ftlr In the flour, then the tomatoes. Btew 10 or 15 minutes. Add Vt tea spoon sugar (level) and H teaspoon lemon juice. Season to taste with salt, cayenne and tabasco sauce. How to Make Fruit Salad. Miss A. O. (Portland) says: 'Will you please publish a recipe for an easily-made fruit saladT" "Fruit salad" Is rather a vague term, as It Is applied not only to mixtures of fruit with oil or cream dressings, but also to mixtures of fruit In wine or syrup dressings, and to fruits embedded in gelatine. As I do not know which type my correspondent desires, what fol lows Is necessarily a rather "hit or miss" selection. Fruit Salad No. 1. Arrange alter- nate layers of sliced bananas, sliced oranges, and shreaded pineapple. Sprinkle each layer with powdered sugar. Let stand until the sugar is dissolved. Serve very cold as a cock tall or as a dessert with cake. Sherry may be added If approved. White grapes combine well with the above. The same combination of fruits may also be served with a dressing of whipped cream, slightly sweetened and flavored with lemon juice. Add the dressing Immediately before serv ing. Fruit salad No. 2. Use 1 cup each neatly cut apple, celery, and orange, with Vt cup each English walnuts and seedless sultana raisins. Serve on let tuce leaf with mayonnaise. The orange should not be sliced, but divid ed in sections. Remove the mem brane and break each section In three or four pieces without losing the juice. Serve as a luncheon or supper salad with sandwiches. One Easy to Make. Fruit salad No. 3. One cup washed, stoned and sliced dates; 1 cup oranges, prepared as above; 4 cup English walnut meats or pecans. The above mixture may be served with mayon naise, French dressing, . syrup or wine dressing, or the following cooked cream dressing: Two tablespoons but ter, 2 tablespoons flour, 1 cup cream. Make Into a cream sauce; boll five minutes. Add 1 egg yolk (may be omitted), and the juice of a lemon, strained. Season to taste with salt and sugar. Use when perfectly cold. This Is often well liked with apple and banana salads by people who ob ject to oil. Fruit salad No. 4. One cup each peach, pear, pineapple (all either canned or fresh), and apple sliced; hi cup each maraschino cherries and blanched almonds or walnuts. Serve in gelatine (well sweetened and fla vored with fruit Juice), or with an egg syrup dressing, aa follows: Cook to gether 1 cup sugar and cup water. Add 1 tablespoon butter (may be omitted), the juice of 2 lemons, strained, and 3 well beaten egg yolks, cook until the eggs thicken, but do not allow to boil. Use when thoroughly cold. The above are types of salads, suggesting a large number of varia tions. I have confined myself to fruits easily obtainable at present. Mrs. M. (Portland) asks for a recipe for "potatoes au gratin.' The following Is an easy recipe: Two cups boiled potatoes, cut in cubes; one cup thin white sauce, highly seasoned with salt, pepper and a few drops lemon juice; one-fourth to one-half cup (according to kind and strength) chopped or grated cheese. Arrange in layers in a buttered baking dish or Individual "bakers." Cover with buttered crumbs and bake until hot and brown. A little onion Juice added to the eauce is highly approved by some tastes and as highly condemned by others. Another way is to follow any good scal loped potato recipe, adding grated cheese with'the seasonings between the layers of potato. A third type is made with mashed potato. Add one egg. well beaten, half cup grated cheese and some extra season ing of pepper and salt to three cups nice light mashed potatoes. Beat all together and bake in a cone or In individual bak ers, sprinkled with buttered crumbs. Mrs. G. A.'s request foi "fairy ginger bread" will be answered next week.

Speaker Before East Side Club As serO Xeed for Action Is Most Urgent. In the matter of disposing of garbage In Portland Judge M. G. Munly, in ad dressing the North East Side Improve ment Association recently, declared that the city ought to let the bustnes out by contract and get rid of the matter. He said: "I am impressed with the fact that the garbage question Is a pressing and seri ous one, and one which we must solve at once. Portland has the reputation of being the healthiest city in the country, but It cannot hope to maintain that place if it continues to permit garbage to ac cumulate. Think of It! Seventy tons of garbage accumulating every day at the present crematory. There comes there 100 tons every day, and only 30 tons can be consumed. "The crematory or Incinerator that is perfect and odorless has not yet arrived, and no matter where you place it it will be objectionable. It seems to me the part of wisdom for the city to lst a contract for the disposition of garbage to private parties. I believe thta course to be the part of economy. Private parties can make a profit out of the business. Fertilizer could be used for the farms of ttie Willamette Valley, the solder from tin cans could be saved and made profit able and the iron could be bound up and made merchantable by private con tractors, without costing the city any thing. We must dispose of the garbage, and it seems to me that a contract could be made that would be to the advantage of the entire city. Private citizens could be sufficiently protected so that there would be no hardship. If the city should sell bonds and erect one or more crema tories there might be a worse odor aris ing out of its management than even from the present dump at the crema tory." Objection to the contention of Judge Munly was raised by J. M. Pittinger on the ground that every citizen in Portland would be taxed to support the private contracting concern, and that every family would be compelled to have a garbage can and pay for removal of garbage whether there was any to take away or not. However, this objection was an swered with the statement that the con tract could be so drawn that the citizen would be protected, and further that ev ery citizen would have to make a slight sacrifice for the public good. Superintendent C. L. Daggett made the statement that the project to remove garbage by shipping it down the river was impractical, for the reason four wharves would have to be Becured, two on each side of the river, that would cost 1,000,000. as "The Sensible Route," and Illus trates it with a map as being the shortest way from the Middle West.
