POPULAR RAILROAD MAN WHOSE RECENT DEATH IS MOURNED BY SOGIALCENTER OPEN FORMER ASSOCIATES IN PORTLAND. mm 111JU ijuni'i-A -I COUNCIL! 0 PASS ON MEAT INSPECTIONS Re-enactment of Ordinance, in Workable Condition, Comes Up Tomorrow. SYSTEM IS WIDESPREAD Investigation by Official Inspectors at Slaughter-Houses and Farms Is 1'rovlded ln Regu lation Laws. Re-enactment of the ordinance pro viding, a meat-inspection system for Portland will be an issue before the City Council tomorrow, when proposed amendments to the general ordinance which were passed a year and a half ago will be up for final passage. The measure will be changed to conform with the recent Supreme Court decision. The measure bears an emergency clause 'which, if passed, will put the provisions in effect at once. The plan is to have veterinarians pass upon the quality of all mat brought into Portland. Need of inspec tion has been emphasized during the past few months by the discovery of much diseased and unwholesome meat brought in both, from slaughter-houses and farms. The ordinance puts slaughterers into three classes; first, the slaughter houses within a mile of the city; sec ond, the slaughtering places having Federal Inspection, and, third, farmers. An inspection system is outlined in the ordinance for each of the three classes. Business Permit Required. The slaughter-houses within the one mile limit are required to obtain a per mit to engage in business. Before the permit is issued the establishment must be examined and must conform to the rigid sanitary requirements fashioned after the rules and regulations of the bureau of animal industry of the United States Department of Agriculture. For farm-killed meat all carcasses must be brought to inspection stations, to be established by the chief of the' bureau of health, and there presented for inspection before they may be ofr fered for sale. The carcasses must have certain organs attached so that a proper in spection may be made. Each carcass must have a card attached giving the name and address of the shipper was the place at which the animal a slaughtered. If upon inspection the carcass is found free from disease and otherwise fit for human food, the primal parts are marked "Inspected and Passed." Chief Inspector Authorised. The ordinance makes it unlawful for any person within the city to "have, keep, sell, expose or offer for sale any carcass or part thereof of an animal intended for food purposes which has not been marked 'Inspected and Passed.' either by the Federal authori ties, by an inspector of the city, or with the house mark of an official es tablishment." The ordinance authorizes the appoint ment of a chief meat inspector and two meat inspectors who shall be graduate veterinarians from a college recog nized by the United States Department of Agriculture and who have had at least two years' experience in the prac tice of their profession. Each inspector will wear a badge. It is made unlawful to resist inspectors in the performance of their duty. PROMINENT' SONS IN LIST California Xotables Include States hicn and Authors.

Late Railroad Man Known Well in Northwest. FUNERAJ. HELD IN NORTH Former Dispatcher, Familiarly "A. B.," Missed by All "Old-Timers" in This Part of Country. Once Taught School. t Railroad men in P ortland end'other parts of the Northwest mourn the re cent death at Glacier. "Wash., of AI vertis Branin, one of the. best-known railroad men in this part of the counT try and father of Cliarles E. Branin, of this city. He was well known to all the "old-timers" of Portland, with whom he loved to visit on his frequent trips to the home of his sons here. Mr." Branin. to his friends, both irr and out of the railroad business, was more familiarly known as "A. B." He was one of the most popular and effi cient railroad men of the early days In the Northwest. Born in Stark County, Ohio, in 1851, Mr. Branin removed at an early age with his parents to Benton County, Iowa, where he was reared on a farm. Post as Teacher Held. After taking a course in Ames Col lege, he taught school in Kansas for several years. In 1873 he learned teleg raphy at Columbus, Kan., on the KTan sas City, Fort Scott & Gulf Railway, later serving as agent at Fulton. W'hile agent at Coffeyville, Kan., for the Southern Kansas Railway, Mr. Branin had as neighboring agents Sam uel T. Robinson, father of Frank W. Robinson, traffic manager of the O.-W. R. & N. Company, and Henry S. Rowe, former Mayor of Portland. In 1879 Mr. Branin went to Slater, Mo., as dispatcher for the Chicago & BRANIN MOURNED FLOWER PLANTING TIME IS HERE, SAYS FLORIST Few Roses Damaged by Silver Thaw and Gardener Is Advised to Begin Pruning at Once. BY S. W. WALKER, President Portland Floral Society. rjv HE present spell of fine weather very naturally is bringing to the minds of home owners the neces sity of attending to their gardens and lawns. Although we have had an unusually severe Winter, it does not appear that much damase was done in the gardens, except through the breaking down of trees and shrubbery by the unusual weight of ice which clung to their branches. . An examination of the roses shows that very few were frozen back to any extent, he snow whioh accompanied the cold weather acted as protection to the bushes and like wise tempered the frigid air with nec essary moisture.. It is now time to attend to the prun ing of roses, if that has not already been done. To have fine roses the bushes must be intelligently pruned and given good cultivation. The time is also at hand to make additions to your plantings or to start new gardens. No time must be lost in getting, all the earlier flowering sub jects into their permanent quarters. Roses, shrubs, especially early flower ing kinds and hardy perennials of all sorts, should be planted as early as the ground can be placed into condition. Nurserymen and dealers are now in a position to supply practicaly every thing in this class of stock. Pearl Bnxh Id Attractive. Among roses there are a number of new sorts which are possessed of un usual merit. The list of yellow roses is indeed becoming rich, with such fine sorts as Sunburst, Lady Hillingdon, Harry Kirk, Joseph Hill and Mrs. Aaron Ward. In fancy colored roses Ophelia, Mrs. A. , R. Waddell, Madame Edward Herriott and Lyon-are a fine selection. Madame Leon Paine and George Arends have proved to be won derful new pink roses, while George Dickson and Gloire de Chedane and Gulnoisseau . are remarkably fine red sorts. In shrubbery the new hybrid lilacs In bush and tree form are going to be much in favor. Their heavy, massive flowers are greatly superior to those of the old conrmon varieties. Some of them have double flowers, although the single sorts are preferred by many. A shrub not commonly seen around Portland and which should be more generally grown, is the Exochordia Grandiflora, or pearl bush. Its long, slender branches are covered late in the Spring with beautiful white flow ers, which last a long time, therefore desirable for room decoration. It makes a fine specimen small tree for the lawn. In the perennial class of plants are :;&j- t M y BKAS1.1. Alton Railroad. About this time the James boys were active, and it was nothing unusual ,to have a passenger train show up late after being detained by the bandits. In 1855 Mr. Branin went to Tacoma, where he served as chief dispatcher for. the Northern Pa cific until 1888, when he went to Se attle as trainmaster for the Columbia & Puget Sound Railroad, now a part of the Milwaukee system. Xew Road Then Constructed. The Bellingham Bay & British Co lumbia' Railroad was in process of con struction when Mr. Branin wetit to Bellingham in 1890, where for 16 years he was assistant superintendent of that road. Following his retirement from railroad work eight years ago Mr. Branin went to Glacier, where he en gaged, in the mercantile and hotel busi ness. He was a member of Masonic Lodge No. 44 of Bellingham. Mr. Branin leaves a widow, formerly Miss Molea Bigelow, a niece of Mrs. Harry Bigelow, of Seattle, and two sons, Cliajles E., of Portland, and Alvertis, Jr., of Au burn, Wash., by a former marage. After funeral services at Belling ham Mr. Branin's body was taken to Seattle for cremation, It will later be brought to Portland and placed beside that of his son, J. Walter Branin, at the Portland Crematorium. GRANT OATS JUMP AGAIN . Stockmen Believe Worst of Cattle Losses Now Past. BAKER, Or., Feb. 26.(Special. Grant County oats have taken another jump because of the feed shortage there and are now finding buyers at 3 cents a pound in Monument, where the feeding situation is still serious. Stockmen believe that the worst of cattle losses from this cause is over and that soon only the weak ones will have to be fed. ' Lawyers' Club Is Organized. To promote needed legislation, par ticularly along lines of code reform, the Lawyers' Club has been organized by a score of young attorneys in Porf land. The first meeting was held Fri day night in the office of W. A. Ek wall in the Teon building, but a per manent meeting place is to be ar ranged for in the Central Library. Nor man Richards has been elected presi dent of the club. Included many od-fashloned flowers, those whose leaves die down in the Winter, but which come up each Spring. In this class- will be found- such old favorites .v. as hollyhocks, foxgloves, phlox, peonies, campanulas, (iris and a host of other choice subjects for the hardy garden. , Besides these there is tWe delphin ium, or hardyy larksmir. in which fam ily there are some -startling improve ments in the belladona hybrids. They are almost everblooming in charac ter, .with flowers in avatiety of shades from white to dark blue. For late flow ering the Japanese anemones are prob ably the most popular in thfci class of flants. The flowers have little1 value or cutting, but are certainly very effective in the garden. vSome people may think that sun flowers are too common for considera tion in the flower garden. The new sort, - "Sparsif olio," must not, however, be so considered. It is really the most valuable yellow 'flowered hardy plant. It grows five to six feet high and pro duces beautifully formed yellow sin gle flowers about four inches in diame ter. Other good yellow flowered hardy plants are the Gaillardla Coreopsis and' Rudbekla Golden Glow. Replanting Is Advised. It Is best to divide the rootS and Te plant most perennials every two or three years. Most of them are strong growing and if allowed fo grow undis turbed for a number of years lose their vitality and will flower more sparing ly. Exceptions are iris and peonies, which will grow thriftily Jor a num ber 'of years without being, replanted. While on the subject of perennials we must npt overlook 'the low-growing and creeping varieties, such as phlox, subulata, Arabls Alphinus, Eng lish primroses and daisies. They are useful for edging walks and beds of taller growing plants. . As mentioned before, these hardy plants should be put in at an early date to .secure satisfactory results thia season. Spade your soil deeply and if possible enrich it by the addition of well-rotted stable . manure. If your soil is heavy, make use of lime or ashes to lighten it. Sand has but little value for the purpose, as well as being useless for fertilizing purposes. To have your garden flourish you must give it attention, which means, in a word, "work." ' The late English rosarian, Dean fHole, said well when he uttered: "He who would have beautiful roses in his garden must have beautiful roses in his heart." which simply means that the flowers must- be such that we must work if we are to have beautiful.' gar dens.. ' ' Institution Is Intended to Be "Home Spot." PROMINENT. WOMEN SPEAK Movement Is Backed by W. C. T. U, to Provide Place Where Ift'ne some Boys and Girls Who , Work in City May Gather. Addresses by prominent women of the city featured the official ' opening Wednesday night of the social center of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, which has been established at 171 Eleventh street; W. H. Warren, private secretary to the Mayor, and School Superintendent Alderman were among the speakers. The, speakers voiced, the need for such a "home spot" as the new center was to be, and told of their hopes for the future. Musical selections were furnished by the Oregon Conservatory of Music. A large crowd was present at the ceremonies and the' belief was generally expressed that the movement was the beginning of a great work. Mrs. Lucia F. Additon. National su perintendent of labor, W. C. T. U., pre sided, and told of 12 departments of work to be carried on. Mrs. Lee Daven port, chairman of the social depart ment ("the Joy department of our club"), made the address of welcome and told of the good times that were to be held every evening, and the wel come that is there for every one. Mrs. Jennie M. Kemp, chairman of the advisory board, struck the keynote when she told of the plan to bring a little of real home to everyone. She quoted a line or two from "Everybody's Lonesome," and told how that in her room in the hotel she so often felt this truth and longed for a bit of home, and she thought that the hundreds of girls and boys who were working in. Port land, away from their homes, had felt it too. Mrs. Kemp said the labor department of the W. 6. T. U. had planned to make this social center a real "home spot." W. H. Warren, of the Mayor's office, spoke of the need of this home center. and promised co-operation. Superintendent Alderman, . of the Portland schools, spoke on the indus trial work in the Portland schools, and showed pictures of various depart ments. Especial interest was shown In the pictures of the gardens, furniture making, plumbing, cooking, canning and sewing departments. Many were surprised to learn that there were 38,000 garments made in the sewing de partment of the Portland schools last year. The Oregon Conservatory of Music furnished an excellent musical pro gramme. Piano duets by Misses Gowlan and Beyer, violin solos by Mr. Sugihara, vocal solo by Miss Edith Beyer, were numbers that were greatly enjoyed. Little Ruth Lent, 6 years old, made a hit with her piano solo. MILITIA OFFICERS DINE SMOKING OUTFIT IS PRESENTED TO ENSIGN E. A. WEST.
