Butter Marketing Is
Investigated by Committee

Butter marketing methods in Port
land were investigated last week by
the committee appointed for that pur-
pose at the meeting of the Oregon
Creamery managers held in Salem
January II. The committee consists
of A. Slaughter of Salem; L. D. Nash
OF Nashville, and p. 0. Powell of
Monmouth.
The valley creamery managers have
come together to secure market quota
tons that will show actual market
conditions and to arrange buterfat quo
tations that will be based on the prices
paid for butter marketed by cream
cries in Portland. There has been a
feeling among creamery men that the
Portland men have been manipulating
the market, to the disadvantage of the
country creamery.
AT the meeting OF the managers to
be held in Salem Friday, February 2,
the question of a permanent organiza-
ton of creamery men outside Of Port
land will be considered. The commit
tee appointed to confer with the Port
land men will make its report. That
Portland is giving the country cream
cry men the worst of it in price quota.
tions is the expressed opinion of the
country creamery managers.

The following communication has
been handed the Capital Journal for
publication:
Mr.. Editor: On the 18th dav of
last August / had published few
notes about the city council at Turner
and part of their actions, and ex.
pected an answer, but it didn I come
back. l. guess it was the truth and
they knowing the one,half had not
been told, they laid low and said moth
ing for fear the rest would be told.
Now that the new city officers have
taken charge of the books, or what
they could find of them, they found il
necessary TO nave them exported back
three years, to when they, the outlaws
took charge, and we have it from good
authority that the former report of the
ex,mayor and others, that the city was
out of debt, are absolutely false as the
experts report will show over $l ,lOC
indebtedness and no money available
to take up the warrants stamped "not
paid for want of funds.' We know
there is something illegal or crooked
or the banks would jump in and casl
the warrants, but no, they don t 90.
We predicted this white elephant We
are getting two and half years ago
but you just as we'll try to show g
blind man anything as the ignorant
for neither one will look.
The Turner Tribune in an editorial
last week suggests that sometnlng has
to be done, but who is going to do it
Why not have the men who have got tC
dig up the cash for these unlawful acts
have a word to say. They have beer
bneked and gagged three years ant
now cut the wires and give them ,
chance to express their ideas. Put The
proposition up from the records. Il
the foundation is as broad as the join
of seratchall, hard as our streets anC
as high as slapiack, we will get i
straight now and let everybody know
who is to blame and get their eredi
marks. Yours Truly,
