Opposition to New Rates
Is BlotU to Valley Mills

nit the carriers to recognize market
competition in making their rates as
the railroads were wont to do at one
time; now it is strictly q transpOrta-
tion condition tnat permits of eompe
titon. People and communities located
in inland territory must recognize that
transportation and that their success
depends wholly upon the development
of the inland district. In their strug
- to even commence the inland devel
opment, they must be enabled to reach
the outside markets and if they are
prevented from doing this we may as
well Did goodbye to our future hopes
of becoming a substantial common
wealth.
In the 1911 decision Of the interstate
commerce commission in this William
ette valleys California lumber rate case
| the commission says: "This average
distance from the Willamette valley
mills to San Francisco is 622 miles and
from Portland 722 miles Our decision,
if it discriminates either way is against
| the Willamette valley and not against
Portland mills This statement was
made after the hearing Of the case
wherein the Portland mills sought to
have their rates reduced to the VILLAIN
ette valley basis or the Willamette
valley rate advanced to the basis apply
ing from Portland.
The Southern Pacific railroad is the
only outlet which the industries of in
terror western Oregon have, while Port
land has the Pacific Ocean, four differ
ent transcontinental railroads and en-
joys unlimited distributing territory.
She has lower rates than tne Villain
cite valley to points in Washington,
Idaho, and Montana, and up to q short
time ago enjoyed a preferential rate
to Utah. 1t is only in the territory
east of Utah that mills south of Port
land are on an equal basis and that
territory is open to all the mills in
Oregon, Washington and Puget Sound,
consequently our mills must meet the
severest kind of competition.
Territory Opened Is Small
There is little stretch of territory
in California north of San Francisco
and Oakland to which the rate from
western Oregon is lower by four cents
than is the rate from Portland, but
certain Portland mills and the Portland
Telegram in their great efforts to show
that Portland has been Disseminated
against fail to point out to the public
that the difference between the Port
land rate and the western Oregon rate
to San Francisco, Oakland and San
Francisco bay points was originally
nine cents per 100 pounds, yet as point
ed out in the decision of the interstate
commerce commission the Portland
mills successfully competed for that
business through their ability to ship
by water. This difference was reduced
to eight cents per 100 pounds, was
again reduced to ~ cents per l0C
pounds, and in a recent readinstment
made was rurther reduced to four cents
per 100 pounds.
The process of narrowing the differ
entia between Portland and the vii
lamette valley and southern Oregon
mills has steadily been progressing in
favor OF the Portland manufacturer

First Juvenile Fraternal Or

Oregon has set the pace, been the

that coming to the front with still an.

comment. The very latest in new
things is to be not only Made-in.Ore-

This time it will be the organizing Of
the first Juvenile Fraternal association
in the United States, and 30 far as the
writer's = information goes in the world.
The lime will be Wednesday evening,
November ~ and the place the Arti-
sans hall. The event itself will be the
public initiatory work of tae Juvenile
Courts Of the order Of Artisans. The
first composed Of children from ten to
seventeen years old is the "Court Of
Legends the other in which the ages
Of tho members range from two years
to ten is the "Court Of Fairies"
In connection with the ceremonies

Certain Portland lumber interests
under the glise of charging the South
ern Pacific company with discrimina-
tion in rates on lumber to California in
favor of lumber manufacturers in the
Willamette valley, are in reality max
ing another effort along the Southern
Pacific lines south of Portland. Not
only is tho Willamette valley interest
ed, but also the Umpqua and Rogue
River valleys. the same tactics were
resorted to by them in 1907 in hear
ing before the interstate commerce com
mission over the Willamette Valley Cal
ifornia rates, at which time they de-
manded that the commission give them
the same rates as the valley, and also
when they got the commission to grant
them preferential rate of 21a cents
per 100 pounds to Utah, wnen previous
ly the rates from the valley were the
same.
1t is the old cry Of these Portland
lumber interests whose articles in the
Portland Telegram show conclusively q
disposition to be not satisfied with the
advantages they already have, but tc
demand further concessions in order
that no one else shall be allowed tc
have even fair cnance to compete
with them. That the time has arrived
for the merchants, lumber manufactur
ers, farmers and residents of the Viii
lamette valley and southern Oregon tC
take some action to protect their in
terests is quite evident, as unmistak
able efforts are being made to kill the
lumber industry in the territory south
of Portland.
SelfIshness Back of Charges,
There nave been in recent years many
allegations and charges of discrimina
tion by the railroads, but on reflection
it has been found that they have gener
ally originated with and in the in
terest of purely selfish persons and
communities. Since the amended inter
state commerce act was passed in 1907
and the creation of state railroad com
missions, nearly all of the rates carried
by the railroads, particularly in the
west, have been passed upon and re
vised by either one or bota Of these
bodies, and it is safe to say that if, as
alleged, discrimination was practiced
the carriers themselves have assisted
in removing the same and that sucl
conditions do not now exist.
One of the greatest handicaps placed
upon the interior communities has beer

CoMBING WON'T RID
HAIR OF DANDRUFF

The only sure way to get rid Of
dandruff is to dissolve it, then you
destroy it entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces of ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when retiring;
use enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning,
most if not all, of your dandruff will
be gone, and three or four more appli-
cations will completely dissolve and en-
tirely destroy every single sign and
trace of it, no matter how much dand-
ruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is Inexpensive and never
fails to do the work.
