Mayor Asks FOR Mass Meeting.

Athena. Oregon. Feb. "a, 1915.
TO the voters Of the City of Athena:
In the past month there have been
innumerable questions asked me rel
ative to the oity's financial condition
at the present time, what it has teen
in years gone ty under prior admins
trations; how our debt was created
and by whom; how it is being paid,
and what the resources Of the city are,
so that 1t would require an unlimited
amount Of time for one to look these
matters up and answer them in an in
telligent manner, and publication Of
it would require complete synopsis
of the city records. In view of these
objections am asking some interested
voter or voters to arrange a place aud
time for citizens meeting, and
will have all the city records which
are In my possession at the meeting
and will 60 over the books with the
voters in order. that they may be en-
lightened on the subject as much as
possible. Homer /. Watts,
Mayor.

Commenting upon the Astoria rate
tjeoision of the Interstate Commerce


decision Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, the East Oregonian says :
"The decision Of the interstate COM
meroe commission giving parity rates
to Astoria is one of the biggest events
of the sort in recent years. The peo-
pie who have worked 80 hard to se-
cure this step are to be congratulated.
Though nominaIly in the name OF AS
toria the move was initiated ny the
Portland Journal and J. N. Teal on
the theory that in this instance the
interests Of Astoria are identical with
the interests of the whole Columbia
basin. 10 granting Astoria the same
rate enjoyed by Seat lie and Tacoma
the commission based its decision ON
consideration Of service cost. Since
the expense of haul from the interior
to Astoria is no greater than the ex-
pense Of haul to Seattle higher rate
is unjust and so Astoria is given the
same rate as the Sound cities. InVok-
ing this same principle it will be log
ical for Portland to set up a claim for
an even lower rate ttan Astoria gets
heoause Portland ia 100 miles closer
than Astoria to this territory. The
logic In the Portland claim will te
sound and that their contention must
be granted in time seems inevitable IL
rates are to be established on a basls
Of Justice. A peculiar featu,e OF the
commissions ruling in the Astoria
case is the intimation that Portland
will not necessarily Ee entitled to
lower rate than Astoria and Seattle

other? II Portland cannot secure re

FOR IDEAL CLUB SANDWICH
Hostess viii Find Luncheon Delicaey
Easy to Prepare u She viii Fol-
low These instructions.

The club sandwich forms an ideal
quick luncheon. with cup of choco-
late or tea. 1t Is a delicious after
theater tidbit. Moreover, 1t is easy
to make in the dining room, with the
aid of a chatting dish and electric
toaster. 1t has so many varieties that
1t can be served frequently without be-
coming monotonous.
To begin with, It's foundation Is n
slice of hot buttered toast at the bot
tom and another at the top. Between
these two slices there must be lettuce
and mayonnaise and boiled or fried
bacon. Besides these ingredients many
other things can be used.
Perhaps what one may call the con-
ventional club sandwich contains on
the foundation slice Of toast a crisp
piece of lettuce. a spoonful Of thick
mayonnaise. a slice OF chicken breast
two crisp slices OF bacon, slice OF
tomato. more lettuce and mayonnaise
and the cover Of toast.
Instead Of the tomato a slice Of to
mato jelly may be used. or some shreds
of sweet green or red pepper, or three
slices Of cucumber. or sliced sweet
gherkIns or sliced stuffed olives may
be used.
Or else over the toast may be spread
a mixture Of chopped celery and may
onnaise or chopped sweet pepper and
mayonnaise or chopped olives and may
onnaise.
Instead Of the chicken one may use
sliced tongue or sliced veal or sliced
lamb.
A thin silver Of broiled boiled ham
may be substituted for the bacon.
Fish pastes may also be used In
stead of the chicken. with or without
the bacon. Sardlnes, bOned and skin
ned and rubbed to paste with mayon-
naise, are good.
The lower slice of toast may be
spread with a thin coating of pate de
foie gras, then the chicken, bacon and
mayonnaise can be added, then lettuce,
and the top slice Of toast-with or
without the slice of tomato.
