Our criticism, thinks the Telegram editor, is because of a lack of appreciation of the oyster as a table del icacy. 4f the editor of the Statesman had lived in Balti more or had dined in a restaurant in New York, opines the irritated editor, then w might even rally as a recruit to mollusk-adorned banner of the Telegram. Right, we never lived in Baltimore ; and perchance if we had we might detest the bivalves harvested on the shores of the Chesapeake. The "local color might be offensive. Nor have we tested the skill of New York s famous chefs de cuis ine in the preparation of oyster dishes. Ah, but we have done better than Baltimore or New York ; we have livedjn Olympia in the days when Doane's restaurant flourished. Olympia, be it known, is the home of the famous Olmpia oysters, those tiny fellows far more choice than the most select blue points from Baltimore. And Doane's was famous from Seattle to the St. Francis for its one dish: "Doane's oy ster pan roast." Envious chefs might try their best to rival the dish that brought Doane his fame, but they all failed. At -last even Doane's was closed, its old weather-beaten frame building giving way to a characterless chain store building. Then we knew something of the oyster houses of Se attle? the Lion on First Avenue, and Don's on Yesler Way, good places too for a fry or a stew. And the chef at the Col lege Club there serves an entre of Olympias, crab meat, et cetera, that is a poem in food. But our knowledge of and relish for the oyster goes far ther back than-that, back to the oyster stewtof a winter's night in Iowa. Or an oyster supper, when a bod-sled load of merrymakers follows the whitened trail into the country or to a neighboring village for an old-fashioned oyster supper. Do you not recall it; brawny men, florid-faced from their unac- customed tasks, dipping g&ierous ladles of oyster stew from , cfaaminir V-ortloa filliTier an!iiiAitk Hrtwla 'fnr MnaPiAin sfrnm. achs.

Madam Telegram, it is not that we love oysters the less, but that we love the spruce mill payrolls the more. We note that Toledo has sus tained a rate of growth one of the most rapid in the state in the past decade. That growth is the result of the spruce mill development. That mill is of far greater importance to the prosperity of Lincoln county than the tiny beds of oy sters a few fishermen might plant on the tide-flats of Ya- as a rule, made bad men, and that quina.

J. HENDRICKS Continuing the Oeer story: "That afternoon (fall of 1851) wo came up over the divide. Just south of Portland, and I had my first glimpse of the great city. Singularly enough, I do not recall any of the circumstances connect ed with the stay there, but the ap pearance of the city as we first came in sight of it is as plain to me now as it was at the time. I distinctly remember that at fre quent intervals there were very tall fir trees growing on the bank of the river, so close to the water's and that father said, when I call ed his attention to the phenomen on, that there was where we wOuld get our supper, and that he was the man who would buy the chickens. k S I also remember passing the territorial penitentiary. Just south of the town, and I was duly im pressed by means of a little fath erly moralizing that it was not a good place to be that bad boys, i'rms rJoblems than sawdust which make ovster culture at nquuta difficult. had men were sent there to live and were nt allowed to have much to eat, nor to get away. Sometimes they were shot, and that served them right. I listened to my father's detailed descrip tion of the awful place, coincided fully with his conclusions, and gave him a verbal guarantee on the spot that I would so gauge my conduct that there would be "The Resolution Against Bingham ITIHE senate's resolution of condemnation against Senator X Bingham of Connecticut we set down as too severe and nothing doing in that line in my altogether unnecessary. Senator Bingham is one or tne most capable and distinguished of the members of the former "up per" house. He explored the jungles of tropical South Amer ica. He served as professor m Yale university, he served in the army ih Mexico under General Pershing. He was an aviator in France, during the war. Withal he is a high type of man and Citizen. Yet this is the man who is branded with senatorial censure because of what he confesses was prob ably a mistake in securing as an aide in tariff hearings one worth striving for anyway! who was emoloved bv the Connecticut Manufacturers Asso- degrees, however, I resumed W . - M ciation. We are impressed with the hypocrisy of it all. Norris, et aL do not hesitate to take the legislative hand-outs of walking delegates for farm organizations. Even the presi dent with a half billion dollars at his disposal for farm relief invites the farmers to name the men who will spend it. The anti-saloon league has likewise stood' in loco senatoris on oc casion. Senators have accepted fees from the league for lectures": and to a finely discriminating sense of ethics this may be as reprehensible as Bingham's engaging of Eyanson for aid on tariff legislation. The, resolution itself admits that Bingham had no cor rupt intentions. If he had not, then the error was one of judgment only and does not merit the heavy rebuke the self righteous Norris imposes. Under the sanctimony of farm relief senators have appropriated hundreds of millions, would now overhaul radically tariffs for the benefit of the farmer: but when a senator from a highly industrialized - state makes an earnest effort to protect his own constitu ents'. that seems to rate almost as high treason, and "tends to bring the senate into dishonor and disrepute." The resolution itself heightens our contempt for the Norris claque. ease or words to tnat eirect. The return home was without particular interest, but for about a month afterward I was the hero of Silverton among my little chums, who, by the way, appeared to have lost much of their prest ige in my estimation. Since they had never been In Portland, wondered what they found la life By try normal place in the little world in I wnich I moved and I was once more on a level with the Brown and Wolfard and Dudley and Barger and other children of my 'Bet 'In the spring of 1861 my fath er sold his place .in Silverton : to Al Coolidge, who owned Unmade It his home until his death, less than one year ago; it Is still own ed by his -daughter.

This change of residence cruelly severed the ties I had formed with the children of Silver- ton, among whom was a pret lit tle miss of 11 summers, with rosy cheeks, curly brown hair and kill ing eyes. This little creature had completely won my heart, and In the midst of it all I was about to be ruthlessly transplanted to what seemed to me a land of exile! It was at the very time of the firing on Fort Sumter and the differed states were not only 'dissevered. discordant and belligerent, but the land was being 'drenched In any interest to life! W W "We were to start about 10 o'clock as It was not far to the school house, I stole away, picked one of the prettiest wild rosebuds that I could find, and Intercepted the little beauty who shyly con fessed herself a little disturbed at the turn of affairs and with im measurable sorrow, tempered by my Joy in meeting her, gave her the rosebud and tearfully hurried away. I had Just reached the fen der age of 10 years, and had no doubt I was undergoing extreme anguish; but so great were my re cuperative powers tbat within three weeks my bereavement was forgotten and I was again basking in sunshine and roses. The last I heard of my youthful charmer she was living on a sheep ranch in Idaho, the mother of 11 children, and was doing as well, perhaps better, than it my father had re mained in Silverton. "In 1854 W. K. Smith, a drug gist and today a well known capi talist of Portland, had the ttnly store In his line of business In Sa lem. He had then been there one year and was making so much money tnat an oppisition com pany was formed, . of which the late General C. A. Reed was the leaaug memoer. Tney erected a two story tram building on the east side of Commercial street and at the oorth end of the bridge which crosses South Mill creek, or Battle creek.' Within one year. however, the new firm sold Its stock to W. K. Smith, building ai 1 an. bmitn s store bad been located one block west of this point, where, Indeed, all the first build ings erected in that part of Sa lem were located. As the town grew toward Commercial street. he concluded to move his store room around on a lot he owned immediately opposite where the Willamette (now the Marlon) ho tel has been for the past 35 years.

We went home. after becoming members of the children's class, with a lesson of 10 verses, which we were to com mit to memory for recital on the next Sunday. Before night of that same day we had them all down 'pat.' and recited them at home at least 25 times every day during the ensuing week. The first of these verses was: 'Search the Scriptures, for in them yet think ye have eternal life; and they are they which testify for me.'

(It was removed several years ago to make room for the water company's of fice.) It was into this house the upper story that we moved upon reaching Salem, the first floor be ing occupied by B. M. DuRelle, owner of the steam sawmill in Sa lem, which was entirely washed away In the following December. (The DuRelle mill occupied part of the site of the present Spauld-4 ing mill.) The first night in Sa lem I stayed withay grandfather Eoff In the old Bennett house, sl he was a member of the Jury and was spending the week there. (The Bennett house was located where the Masonic temple is now.) ''Although I had been born near Salem and had reached the age of 10 years I had never been there; the trip to Portland had been such a concession to my ambition that I had not had the courage to men tion my longings to see the state capital. But here we were, and to remain permanently. My heart was satisfied, and the boundless oppor tunities for sightseeing occupied all my waking hours, which at this time were about 18 out of the 24. The next Sunday my sis ter and I were sent to the Meth odist Sunday school. My mother was a member of the Christian church, but the Methodists had the largest Bchool and it was con venient. I had never before been to Sunday school, since Silverton had not yet reached the stage of development which demanded such an Institution. The Women's Relief Corps will give a business men's supper in a vacant room of the Turner block to raise funds for the erec tion of a monument in the G.A.R. plot in the cemetery. A rumor was afloat last night that the Masons of the city in tend to commence soon the erec tion of a temple on the corner of State and High streets, where the oia Bennett nouse stood many years ago. Plans for the build ing have not matured yet, but will likely be placed before the lodges this week. In this issue the Statesman re prints the new Salem health ord inance.

O short a time ago as 1900 there was much concern as to wh ther or not the food supply of this great country would last. Ominous, warnings were sent out for the conservation of food. This hardly seems possible when you look around today at the markets glutted not only with the necessities, but with the lux uries and delicacies for serving on the table. Today raw foods In this country exceed all expectations in the efficiency of their production. Machinery is utilized in many marvelous ways. Wheat comprises one-third of our energy food and it is produced under the greatest efficiency. It is said that each bushel of wheat represents ' about thirty minutes of man labor. This effi ciency in the production of our raw materials needed for food leaves much leisure because with this efficiency came higher wages and fewer hours for work. 0 American food standards have men, but we hear little about the high cost of living. As a people we are less and less concerned about the need of food, clothing and shelter. We have lost all fear ox a shortened food supply. It has been said that "the more vigorous and long-lived the race the better utilization can it make of its natural lesources. The labor power of such a race is greater, more intense, more intelligent and more inventive." . , . . .A , . One of the most important ways of maintaining vital efficiency Is to conserve our natural resources ' sugars and fats. Add te your diet preen vegetables, fresh and stewed fruits. Exercise freely In the fresh air and practice deep breathing-. ' jr- - f i"'A I y-,-? tester DR." COPELAND- the land, raw materials, uie ests and water. Many families In America have arning-s which leav considerable margin for other things than the necessities of life. This may ba spent or saved.. Although the cost of living has risen to soma extent In the past tew years. It is relatively stable. Rising wages have brought with them lei sure. This increasing leisure has a direct bearing upon the health of the people. Increased expenditures are made for goods and service. It tends te create new needs. Considered from the health stand point, this Increased leisure brings with it less fatigue and more outdoor life. Sports of all kinds are Indulged in and benefits are derived for mind and body. But there Is another side. In creasing leisure presents new prob lems. If wrongly used It may make us physically unfit. A wise and Judicious use of lei sure will help to preserve a better mental balance as well as bodily well being. Answers to Health Queries Ia. H. Q.

Better "today" , Yesterday's fashions are not the fashions of today. Noraly are fashions in dress constantly changing, but our daily habits and mode of living are subject to a steady process of evolution. Conveniences have been invented and placed in use and life is happier, easier for them. Every year, almost every day, sees some new thing of beauty, of use or for our pleasure, intro duced. And they are invariably brought to our attention by advertising. Advertising is the medium that is responsible, in large meas ure, for the rapid and constant improvement in our living con ditions. Without advertising this old world would be a dull and dreary place. With if, we progress; we learn about new things that we need to shorten our tasks;; to make ourselves more presentable; to brighten our leisure hours.
