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.

Receiver for Lumber Company.
Beach & Simon, acting as attorneys for
various creditors of the Suburban Lum
ber Company, have filed a petition in the
Federal Court asking that the company
be adjudged a bankrupt. The stockholders
and directors of the Suburban Lumber
Company met yesterday and passed a
resolution authorizing the president to
consent to the adjudication and to the
appointment of a receiver. George W. Col
lins, manager of George Ainslee & Co..
was appointed receiver by Judge Wol
verton and his bond fixed at the sum
of J10.000. The bankruptcy proceeding was
caused by reason of attachments which
had been levied against the property of
the corporation and the desire of the cor
poration that po creditor should receive a
preference.
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.
Cbluhibia'- Beach-;, Offers Attractions
very Member of the Entire Family
toE
Columbia Beach is a resort of various attractions-there s something to
suit the moods and whims of both sexes and of all ages. Never was the
appellation of Family Resort better bestowed than in thus describing
Columbia Beach. . .
Pater-familias may not care for a dip in the "briny his tastes being
along other lines. If he is a fisherman there's a lake full of bass and
streams full of trout, if he is a golfer there's a magnificent links where he can
indulge in the ancient Scotch game beloved by Carnegie and Rockefeller.
Madam perhaps will be content with nothing more strenuous than tak
ing a stroll on the board walk or inhaling ozone out in the sun parlor at the
end of the long pier. .
Miss Una perhaps takes delight in photography or sketching well there
are numberless beautiful bits of scenery waiting to be portrayed by the
camera or "done in oils."
Jimmy the young man of the family will find "more as plenty to amuse
him in many ways. He can canoe, row or sail he can swim in the lake,
he can play ball or tennis in the athletic field, can find a new joy m living
every day he spends at Columbia Beach.
There's lots of fun for the younger members of the family. There's no
need of mapping out a program for them, however, for who ever knew of
youngsters who didn't sample all the known pleasures of outing life and
then invent new ones? Last but not least Fido the dog will find new
pleasures awaiting him-tired from a season of barking at peddlers and
automobiles.
And the Gost Is Not Much
Lots can be had for as little as $200, to be paid for a little at a time.
10 of the purchase price to be paid down and 2 per month until paid tor.

than take care of these payments and what have you to show for it? Own
your own cottage-by-the-sea and enjoy life. You'll come home at the sea
son's end so full of health' and energy that a doctor's bill will be a thing of
hearsay only.
It is not necessary to make a trip to the property. Gome to the oince

BEST SOIXTIOX OF GARBAGE
PROBLEM, SAYS MUXY.
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.
