i K I WEBK uolng to write
book I
think I should . choone "Man. and
1 low to Feed Him" for the title, or,
-Is Life Worth Cooking?" I defy any
of my sisters to deny the fact that if
It were not for the dear men we would
never care what we cooked. Just so
we had something to eat and did not
starve. When the man of the house
Is away, be he the father, brother or
husband, the women simply will not
cook. They will pick "p a bite here
and there and call it a meal. Indeed
now that OreROn women are safely en
franchised, they can well say "Man,
dear man, whether you be our inferior,
our superior or our equal, we do know
that you are one bis necessity.
I.ast nisht In my confused dreams I
had visions of a great brown, flaky
steaming and toothsome meat pie, and
hovering about it were, many brisht
eyed and pretty damsels. When I
awoke I straightened out my thoughts
and remembered that I had the night
before visited the business girls' class
of the domestic science department at
the y. W. C. A.
Hoaaewlvesi Bora, Then Made."
Many languid and Inexperienced
maidens who live In wealth and luxury
imagine that a business girl's life Is
something awful and that girls who
work do so only because they must.
Many people in business life, especially
men, imagine that If a young woman
has worked in an office or taught
school since she was a girl in school
that she has lost every opportunity of
becoming a housewife, for they figure
that she never had time to learn the
duties of a housewife.
One -might say that housewives are
born, not made, but I would say that
housewives are born, then made. First,
second and last of all, all that is re
quired to be a good housewife is to
want to be a good housewife. All the
rest comes easily. Having made a spe
cial study of this problem I have
found that In every walk of life there
are the born housewives women who
are born with the desire to be house
makers, either for themselves or for
someone else. I have seen girls whose
fathers are millionaires as anxious to
know how to cook and keep house as
the girl in the middle walk of life who
does ft because she must. But what
would you think of the -stenographer,
the bookkeeper and the school tocher,
women who earn splendid- salaries
really enough to support families with
who. after working hard all day
long, will take the time to spare two
nights a'week to the study of domestic
science?
tVanrs Kager to Leara
r really must confess that before I
visited the business girls' class I ex
pected to find the class filled with seri
ous straight-laced girls, and above all
1 expected to find them tired, haggard
and Just dragging about their work.
And then in my ignorance 1 expected
them to tell me that they had never,
never cooked a thing before coming
to the domestic science class. " I was
disillusioned exactly three times. In
the first place, the girls left their seri
ousness behind them, either In the of
fice or the schoolroom.
Many a stern employer would be ex
ceedingly surprised to find his trim
and reserved stenographer, who rarely
ever lifts her eyes from her work, drop
her reserve like a cloak. There .were
about 13 pairs of the starriest and
Cfice
brightest eyes fastened upon the In
structor as she delivered the little lec
ture that always goes with the work.
And the lecture was no sooner deliv
ered than 15 pairs of energetic and
capable hands Immediately set to work
to concoct the meat pie that had float
ed through my dreams. The bushiest
girls'. class Is the Joy of th5 teacher's
heart, for the business girls rossess
what Is called "executive ability." They
c"o not have to be told a thing more
t'.iiin once to fully comprelivnl its
m-.-a n'r., end the word Is no j'Hjitr
y.-okvn thau tf.e deed U C'rt.
Cooking Recreation toOae.
I asked one intelligent young woman
if It didn't tire )ier to spend two nights
a week in this manner after working
in an office all day.
"Not at all." she said brightly. "It Is
one of my greatest pleasures and recre
ations to get here twice a week and
learn all the newest ideas. Of course
I have always known a little bit about
cooking, for a certain amount of cook
ing knowledge really comes natural
with a person. But I want to know
that I understand cooking from the
most modernized and scientific points
of view. L.lke all women I hope to
possess a home of my own some day
and I-want to be prepared to manage
it In the very cleverest way possible."
In several Instances girls take up the
domestic science work as a profession;
that Is. to further their knowledge and
become a teacher of domestic science.
This Is one of the many new profes
sions open to women, because It Is be
ing taught far and wide ,in the public
schools within the last few years.
Every night but Sunday, from 7 until
, the business girls' classes are in
progress. There is one unusually ener-
GROWTH OF PORTLAND
TOLD BY OLD RESIDENT
Man Who Carried Route for The Oregonian Half a Century Ago Comments
on Conditions in Days Long Gone.
BY DAVID S. STEARNS.
Looking backward for a period of
almost 50 years of continuous resi
dence In one city, and that such a
constantly-growing one as our beauti
ful Portland, is something given to but
few. It has been my good fortune to
be one of these. My early residence,
commencing In the month of April,
1SS3. Ten days by ox team was con
sumed in making the trip from Cor
vallis. where my mother and family
had stopped for the Winter after a
tedious, but pleasant, trip from Jack
sonville as a starting point and Port
land the place of destination.
Arriving here, our first home was in
the rear of a small store on the west
side of Front street, between Madison
and Jefferson streets, later moving up
stairs over a .grocery kept by a map
named Wolfe. This store was located
Just south of the old Jefferson-street
gulch, and is remembered by all early
pioneers. At that time Joseph Knott,
fathfr of the Knott brothers, owners
of the famous Stark-street ferry, lived
across the street, where is now the
Oregon Electric depot, a blacksmith
shop owned by Clark Hay and Ira
Morrill, a wagon factory owned by a
Mr. Graden, father of Walter Graden,
the druggist; a furniture factory owned
j4t WorJT
getic girl, who always makes It a point
to iret started at half past six, so
anxious is she to gain all the knowl
edge possible in one evening.
Serving la Taught.
Of no .less importance than the cooking-
classes are the serving classes.
some of which are also held in the
evening for the benefit of the business
girls.. Students may be admitted to tne
serving class while taking cooking, and
the care of the dining-room and pantry
of silver and the washing and care of
fine china are taught. They are also
taught how to correctly serve break
fast, luncheon or dinner. The pfepara
tion'of salads and sandwiches comes
under the serving course, also home
serving, serving at formal luncheons.
chafing-dish serving, afternoon tea and
reception serving and hints on how to
serve at picnics, where one might think
that little serving knowledge Is re
quired, are given.
Special attention is paid to the salad
course, which is varied. From the dif
ferent kinds of gelatine salads, each
with Its own suitable dressing, the stu
dent is taught the place of the salad in
the menu, when to ue salad as a first
course or when to use it as a dessert.
and above all the proper dressing for
the salad used.
The holiday season has now waned
and with the opening of the Spring sea
son awakened interest Is being shown.
Girls become enthused with the work
done by their friends. One girl en
rolled for the Spring term before
Christmas, because, as she said. "The
classes are always filled up when I wait
for the last minute to enroll. I've
waited a long time to get into the
classes and this year I'll enroll early to
make a sure Job of it."
by a Mr. Wilcox, a small sawmill
owned by Levi Estes and Mr. Stimson
occupied the river front block between
Madison and Jefferson streets. The
George W. Vaughn flour and gristmill
was situated on the northeast corner
of Front and Madison streets, and the
Courthouse was on the northwest cor
ner of Front and Salmon streets. '
Penitentiary la Close.
A turpentine factory was located on'
the northeast corner of Front and Clay
streets; a small waysjde hotel was also
near by. The present site of the Smith
tc Watson Iron Works was used for
the Oregon Penitentiary, and at the
northeast corner of these grounds was
the tollgate. or entrance to the Mac
adam road. The county road, which
was free for travel, lying between that
and the river, was little used because
of its miserable condition. Preference
was generally given the toll road on
account of -Its being well kept. Front
street at that time was the business
street, and First street was only opened
to Jefferson street.
I do not think any of the streets or
sidewalks, even in -the main business
part were at that time on even grade,
being mostly set according to the whim
of the individual owner. The only
means practically of communication
with the outside world was by steamer
to San Francisco, the operating boats
being the steamers John L. Stephens
and Brother Jonathan. The Plaxa
blocks had been denuded of their tim
ber, but the mammoth stumps ' were
still standing. The old Portland Acad
emy and Female Seminary stood on the
block between Seventh, Park, Jefferson
and Columbia streets, and the public
school where the Portland Hotel now
stands. The W. S. Ladd home, or a con
siderable portion of it was one of the
landmarks, standing then as now, at
Sixth. Seventh, Jefferson and Columbia
streets.
A small, one-story brick building
stood on the south side -of Morrison
street, between First and Second
streets, used as a. eity Jail. I think one
L. Jaeobl was the Town Marshal, the
lire engine or engines were operated
solely by hand power, and the Btark
street ferry by mules running a tread
mill. The American Exchange and
What Cheer House were-the principal
hotels at that time.
Misers and Trappers Cooie.
Portland was the Winter resort for
practically all the Northwestern min
ers and trappers. Money was easy and
the town was wide open. Indians were
a common sight and occasioned no
oomment. Fights and street Drawls oc
eurrod without official molestation at
all hours both day and night.
About 186 or 187 I took my first
dip into the world of work, my em
plover being one Ben Thomas, at that
time oollector or route agent for The
Morning Oregonian, a four-page paper,
published six days in the week, omit
ting Sunday. The printing press had
not reached the perfection It has since
attained, one sld being printed at i
time and mechanical folding being urt
known; so the carrier was obliged to
arise about 2 o clock In the morning,
hike down" to the north side of Wash
ington street, between Front and First
streets, and fold his papers before de
livery was commenced and. if memory
serves me right, the mall or country
delK'ery had first call, and we were
obliged to help with this before work
ing on our own. A little later a fold
ing machine was added to The Ore-
gonlan's equipment, but I thinlc its ca
pacity was only sufficient to take care
of the country mall, considerable rl
valry oxistod among the carriers ai
to which could becomo ths speediest in
the folding of the papers.
The Oregonian Has Rival.
Alongside of The Oregonian, an op
position paper, the Oregon Herald had
its offices. This also Issued papers
six days in the week, omitted the
Monday issue, but.n its place pub
lished a Sunday paper. The feeling or
bitterness engendered by the civil
War had not yet died out, and -eonse
quently The Oregonlan's subscribers
were mostly Black Republicans, who
by reason of their political convictions,
were supposed by their opponents to
be willing their daughters should
marry "niggers," while the Herald's
list comprised the copperheads, "rebels
and traitors" to their country.
For this reason and the further fact
that later on In life I traversed this
same territory for the" Oregon Herald.
It makes It hard to accurately place
Just who in the district from Madison
street on the north, the river- on the
east, and all the built-up portion to
the south' and west were at that date
subscribers to The Oregonian. Mem

Salary Is 1 a Week.
My salary at starting and for some
time following was si a week; later it
was increased to $1.23 a week by rea
son of. my route being extended to in
clude the district south of the Marquam
Gulch, where five houses had been
erected. These subscribers were W.
Lair Hill, now of Oakland. Cal., author
of Hill's Code of -Oregon: Colonel W. S.
Drake- John Dudley. In the employ of
the Portland Waterworks then owned
by Leonard & Green; a Mr. Barton,
father Jat Special Policeman Barton,
and a man whose name, I think, was
Hampton, who lived - where the new
Failing School is-now being erected.
It is said there's graft in everything,
and we boys of that date had ours.
There were no newsies at that time. I
will also now say nickels were un
known; the price of a paper was a bit,
that Is, or was, supposed to be 12 H
cents. Carriers were allowed for sell
ing purposes a few extra papers each
morning. These they were to return
next morning or to pay for at one-half
of selling price. - The liberal early
morning wayfarer of those days,, if he
passed a quarter or a half dollar over
for a paper. Insisted that we keep the
change. These little Incidents were
never referred to a board of arbitration
composed of our bosses, as to whom
the surplus actually Deiongeo. we nepi
silent, and he only got his regular pro
rata. .
Travel la Difficult.
While this route was hot large, it
was at that time sufficiently so for a
boy of my strength. It must be borne
In mind the traveling was oyer country
roads, up and down gulches, over logs,
stumps and streams. Streets if lit at
all were only by coal oil lamps, and
houses were far apart. I later carried
larger routes and think my salary
eventually reached the magnificent
sum of $3.75 a week. Right sure I am
that all this wage even for a number
of years after I quit carrying papers
and went to learn tne traae oi iron
molding, went regularly to my mother
for the common support of-" the whole
family. Good old -lady, she -Is still liv
ing, past 86 years of age, and barring
an aeoldent which rendered her a crip

possession of her mental faculties.
I have penned tnese lines minning
they may. bring back to the early read

people and the characteristics of . this
city when It was a struggling and
straggling village. As the city has
grown, so has your paper kept pace.

south of Madison street, and had only
four pages to an issue. Three or four

SCESB FROM BEjV Hl:R FLOIIESCB AVER
T- HE drama of the English stage had
its roots in the mysteries and mor
altles presented by the various orders
of the priesthood and the English
Church in the medieval days. And the
strain of religion which filled the pro
ductions of the" old monks has come
down to the present time and can he
found in. the productions that have had
the greatest triumphs of modern days.
The shining example of this religious
drama is found in General Lew Wal
lace's "Ben-Hur," a drama . that has
drawn more people Into the theater who
never set foot Inside a playhouse than
any other production ever seen on the
stage; and the performances of Ben
Hur" have sent these non-theater-goers
to their homes with new Ideas and
l.ronrinr views of the stage' and its
work
Plavs dealing with the beginning or
Christianity have been especially pop
ular with the theater-going puonc De-
cause of the plcturesqueness and beauty
of the time in which they are set ana
of the heroic quality of the men and
women who first sought salvation m
the tenets of Christianity. Tne periou
was that of Rome's greatest splendor,
when she was mistress of the world and
her strong arm extended from Britain
on the north throughout the entire
length and breadth of Europe afld into
India on the south. The magnificence
and wealth of the Romans pilfered from
conquered nations was used to make
the lives of the conquerors one long
feast of luxury. And this magnificence
and luxury form a splendid oacK-
o-i-oiinri against which to show the seir-
abnegatlon, the humility and strength
of the early Christians.
Contrast Is Marked.
In the last 20 years there have been
a number of remarkable productions of
plays which give pictorial expression to
this period. Tne various aramanzs
Mnni of Slenktwtcx's "Quo Vadis"
earned enormous fortunes for their
nrnrlurera 12 or 14 years ago. This
drama showed the luxury and the im
morality of Nero's court in contrast
with the simple beauty and the austere
life of the converts to the Christian re
ligion, which extended to the sacrifice,
and the willing sacrifice, of life itself.
Preceding "Quo Vadis" by some in: or
ai wars was W ilson Barrett s arama.
"The Sign ot tne uross, wnicn iiuu im
first production in st.-iouis uuring one
of Mr Barrett's American tours, but
which' was not generally seen until
after its long run in London and its
subsequent return to America where it
was toured for elgnt or iu years wun
unvarvinsr success.
'The Sign of tne cross 101a tne swry
of a Roman voluptuary, Marcus buper
bus, whose lax morals and vleious life
were brought to an end by the purity
and beauty of a Christian girl wno con
quers Marous and leads him with her
Into the arena to suffer martyrdom for
the cause of the Christ. Mary Magda
lene, the scarlet woman of the gospels,
has been shown as the heroine In three
poetic plays seen in America within the
last decade, eacn Dy a master poei.
These plays are "Mary of Mage! a la, by
Paul Heyse, In which Mrs. Flske and
Tyrone Power as Mary of Magdala and
Judas Iscarlot created a proiouna im
pression: Maurice Maeterlinck's "Mary
Magdalene," which Olga Nethersole
presented at the New Theater three
years ago; and "La Samaritaine," which
Edmond Rostand wrote for Sarah Bern
hardt and which she made one of the
principal features of her recent fare
well tour of America. : :
Savior la Represented.
In two of these plays, that by Mae
terlinck and in that by Rostand, the
Savior was absolutely represented. In
the first play, "Mary Magdalene.' He did
not physically show, but H.ls voice was
heard off the stage speaxing tne woras
of forgiveness and hope to the penitent.
In "La. Samaritaine" tne figure of tne
Savior whs brought Into actual repre
sentation, and It was for this reason
representations of the play were pro
hibited in several of the cities visited
by Madame Bernhardt. On one other
occasion in . the history -or tne tneater
n America the figure of the Christ has
been used In actual representation; in
Salmi Morse's "The Passion Play." pro

ago, with James O'Neill Impersonating
the Savior.
After two days' representation in
San Francisco the performances were
stopped by the authorities as blasphe
mous, but Morse did not despair and
came to New York with his play. He
interested certain wealthy men In the
project and a temple was built in West
Twenty-third street to house the pro
duction, but on the night set for its
first performance the Mayor and Police
Department of iNew York forbade the
performance, and in despair Morse
committed suicide a short time after.
Even in the popular-priced houses
and in the circuits of the one-night
stands, the religious drama has had a
wide influence and a wider success.
Three plays built on themes djrectly
connected, with the early history of the
Christian Church have toured and are
touring the country and drawing great
audiences at the present day. These
plays are "The Holy City," "The Light
Eternal" and a dramatic version of
"Parsifal," Wagner's study of the
search for the Holy GraH. -One of the
sensations of Paris last year was Ga
briel D'Annunzio's "Martyrdom of St.
Sebastian;" which was presented with
music by Claude Debussy, and had Ida
Rubenstein; a. Russian dancer, for the
representation of St. Sebastian.
Religious Note.
In "Ben-Hur" the religious note is
struck at the rise of the curtain, which
goes up disclosing the scene in the
desert with the Three Wise Men wait
ing for the signal which Is to lead
them to- the new-born King of Kings,
and presently their watch is rewarded
IT is not so easy 'to nil the market
basket with good things to eat as
It was a little while back. Late Janu
ary and February are always the hard
est season for the' housekeeper, the
time when most ingenuity is required
to make .palatable dishes and avoid
monotony without causing undue strain
on the pocketbook. This is the sea
son when the housekeeper reaps the
reward of that forethought 'which se
cured a plentiful provision of canned
or dried fruits and vegetables when
quality was high and prices low.
The necessary fresh fruit supply for
the family Is complicated this year by
the soaring of orange prices, just at
the time when oranges are most de
sired and when they are usually tend
ing downward in price. Apples, luck
ily, seem still cheap and plentiful, good
ones being available at 15 to J5 cents
a dozen or from $1 to $2.60 a box. A
few pineapples are to be had at 20
to SO cents each, and Imported grapes
sell at 30 to 30 -cents a pound. Cran
berries cost about 15 cents a quart. A
few pears are available at about 30
cents a dozen. Grape fruit cost S to
15 cents each, according to size and
quality. Tiny Jap and Tangerine or
anges still cost only 19 cents; and the
faithful banana is with us at 20 to 30
cents a dozen.
Midwav between fruit and vegetable
stands rhubarb.- The first of the sea
son is now m the market and sells at
20 to 30 cents a pound.
Green vegetables are even scarcer
than usual at this season. Celery and
cauliflower supplies are scanty, and
head lettuce Is up In price. By care
ful search one may discover good Held
salad, watercress, Brussels sprouts,
mustard greens, kale, fresh celurlac,
spinach and, chicory, but the quantity
seems strictly limited. There are hot
house cucumbers and tomatoes, as well
as mushrooms, green peppers, egg
plant and artichokes, for those for
whom price is no object, and there are
always the "standbys," caoDage ana ine
"roots, wnicn win yieiu "v civ-
tractive vegetable "plats" to those who
know how to use them.
Fish. In spite of tne eariy arrival oi

at. 7J to 10 cenis a pounu. naiiuui

while salmon sold at ViM to 15 cents a

Good Things in Market
OK HUR AND LOUISE Hl'FP AS
when the Star of Bethlehem flashes out
In refulgent splendor and serves them
as a guide. Throughout the play the
struggle of the Roman and Pharisee
and Sadducees for mastery in the land
of Palestlr.e Is disturbed by rumors and
stories of the miracles wrought by the
Man of Galilee, the simple Nazarene
who was to revolutionize the world.
But It Is In the last scene that the
waiting throng on the Mount of Olives
watches for the coming of the Christ
with waving palms and shouts, singing
Hosannas and psalms. At the supreme
moment the Ineffable Presence is Indi
cated by a shaft of light which falls
athwart the multitude in the form of a
cross, and on this Inspired picture ths
curtain falls.
In the new production of "Ben-Hur" .
which Klaw & Erlanger are presenting
this season the religious element and
the beauty and august solemnity of
this final scene have been emphasised
even more than in former productions.
Straight from the footlights to the
dome of the stage runs the hillside on
which the motley-garbed horde waits
for the coming of the Christ. A mag
nificent choir of 100 voices, under the
direction of the distinguished grand
opera conductor, Gustav Hlnrlchs, from
the Metropolitan Opera House, New
York, is employed to sing Edgar Still
man Kelley's music, which In this
scene reaches positive inspiration, and
hundreds of supernumeraries, skilled
and thoroughly rehearsed, fill the scene
with animation and actuality. It Is
looked upon as the most magnificent
stage pageant that lias ever been
shown in the American theater.
trout, 25 to 30 cents, sturgeon at SO
to 25 cents, catfish and croppies 17(4
to 20 cents a pound. Crabs are still
fairly plentiful at 12 to 15 cents each,
and there are shrimps at 15 to 20 cents
a pound, but no sign of clams of any
kind, except the canned ones.
Poultry prices are about the same.
Hens cost 18 to 3 cents, according to
age and quality; geese cost about 2S
