Willamette Valley
Lumber Case viii
Begin On Thursday

Portland, Ore, Nov. 17-Among the
cases which will be heard this week by
Examiner Butler of the interstate com
merce commission, the most important
so far as it affects the general rate
situation-will be the Willamette val
ley lumber case. Mr.. Butler will begin
the hearing of cases today, when sew
eral individual companies will be pre-
sented. Friday morning, the "big" case
will be opened, wherein the Inman-
Poulsen Lumber company and the
Eastern and Western Lumber company
are seeking to have set aside rate
that applies from Willamette valley
points to the distributive territory Of
interior California.
The Portland lumbermen contend
that the rate in effect establishes a
preferential of about four cents per 100
pounds on lumber milled in the valley.
That the district so included is
bounded by the south line of the Port
land city limits they assert to be proof
that the Southern Pacific is delber-
ately planning to shut out Portland
from the benefits of the interior Cali
fOrnla trade.
The valley mills, on the other hand,
contend themselves entitled to a lower
rate because of the shorter haul. The
say they have no chance to ship their
lumber by water to the California
ports.
The valley mills are pointing to gen
eral discrimination against them in re-
gard to distribution of lumber in dis
tricts other than interior California,
particularly along the Great Northern
Milwaukee, Northern Pacific, Canadian
Pacific and the 500 line, to reach which
points the valley mills have to pay
the local rate into Portland before the

the opinion of the majority Hence, at

old way. 1t was also decided that the

Mems Liberal Club
Holds Good Meeting

The Men s Liberal club held most
interesting meeting last evening. A
number Of new names were added to
the membership list. At the close of
the routine business President Allen in
troducel Mr.. Allen A. Hall as the first
speaker of the evening, who gave q
splendid address on the subject: q What
Will Be the Value of Military Training
in the Public High Schools. Mr..
Hall is peace man, who neither be-
lieves in war, nor in large armies. How.
ever, he believes in efficiency. The
purpose of military training is not to
make butchers of'men, or to teach boys
how to kill. 1t is-a method of educa-
ton, teaching boys obedience, order,
precision, punctuality, discipline, self.
reliance. Military training, according
to Mr.. Hall, is one Of the most eff
cient and scientific methods to teach
discipline of mind and body. 1t should
be made n means of cultivating botl
character and patriotism An army may
become constructive agency, rather
than a destructive machine. The alb
sence of Superintendent Elliott was
much regretted.
A spirited discussion followed in
which Judge Webster, Stolz, Denton,
Williams, Mott, Jr., Radcliffe, Allen,
Robinson and others took active part.
The next meeting of the club will
be held the first Wednesday of De-
cember. Rural Credits" will be the
subject for discussion.

COMMITTEES TO MEET
AT Y. N. c. A. TO PLAN
FOR BOYS conference
Plans Under Way To Hold
Largest and Best Meeting
In State

There win be a meeting at the Y.
M. c. A. tomorrow noon Of the Gen
eral Committee in charge of the Older
Boys Conference which is to be held
in this city within the next ten days.
At tomorrow's conference reports and
plans for the several subcommittee
will be submitted. 1t is planned to
have each committee lunch at separ-
ate table and Immediately afterward to
meet with the general committee for
making reports.
November 26, 27 and 2S, Salem is to
be the host to approximately three
hundred boys who win come here from
all parts of the state for the purpose
of attending the Older Boys Confer
enee which is conducted annually un-
der the auspices of the State Committee
of the Y, M. c. A. with the Sunday
School Association of the state CO.
operating. One of the unique features
of the Older Boys Conference is the
method in which the boys are enter
tanned. The homes of the city are
thrown open to the boys and they are
there entertained with no expense to
the boys or the Conference. This
makes it possible for great number
of boys to attend the conference rather
than a select few. The entertainment
committee consisting of George F.
Rogers, Jos. H. Albert and Paul Wal
lace is already receiving requests for
boys who desire entertainment and
from present indications there is little
doubt but that Salem will have the
greatest Older Boys Conference ever
held in Oregon.

Baby Killer" Is
Yelled. Over Phone

One," commented DR.. Haiselden tender
ly, as he saw the life he had con-
demned, ebbing out.
Then he answered the phone, only to
hear woman screach imprecatiOns at
him.
A touch of bitterness seemed to
come into his voice as he returned to
the death bed.
"It will be a wrong" he said, "to
allow this baby to live.
alt seems to be that city which
lows a black hand outrage every week,
q thousand abortions a day and auto
mobile accident every round of
clock, is hardly in position to criticise
a man who holds that death is prefer
able to the life in defectivel"
"Do you think you will be indiet-

"I wouldn t be surprised if the mat
ter went before the grand jury" he
answered, "but am convinced that no
body Of sane men would indict me.

been killed or maltreated by defec-

death, summoning six very prominent
physicians as the jury.
Meantime doctors, jurists and sociol-
ogists are discussing the ethics, the pro
priety of Haiselden's course. From doc
tors and men in general the comment
has been favorable to him. From many
women there has been criticism, yet
others approved the course of refusing
to let the baby grow to manhood, ours
ing its own fate, burden to its fam
lily and perhaps to society.
One of the strongest endorsements
came from New York, where the Medi-
co-Iegal Society passed resolutions
praising Haiselden for his action.
States Attorney Hoyne said private
ly he regarded the doctor as right,
though he believed there were technical
grounds for his prosecution.

SALEM BANKS SHOW
S76.OOO.OO INCREASE

Bank deposits in the city of Salem
have increased approximately $4,000
in year according to comparison
of the statement called for October 81,
1914, with the call of November 10 of

showing in view of the fact that there
was little fall business this year as the
prune and clover seed crops are the only
ones that have been sold to any great
extent and the wheat and hop crops are
still being held by the growers. WI
the proceeds Of the two most extensive
crops ON deposit the increase would be
much more extensive.
Some of the banks Of this city show
a greater increase in deposits than 9th

to only transfer of large accounts. In
other instances the bank statement re-
Gently called for caught the institution

the general statement indicates that the

of the conditions stated above, gives
an indication of prosperity where il
