CREAMERY MEN WILL
MEET HERE TOMORROW
viii Gather at Marion Hotel
to Talk Business From
Their Side

Creamerymen from the country and
that means those in the state outside
of Portland, will meet tomorrow after
noon at the Marion hotel to talk over
the business situation from the stand
point of the country managers and not
from the standpoint of the Portland
creamery men.
There seems to be feeling that the
Portland contingent manipulates things
for the financial benefit of p rtland
and muchly to the loss of the country
creameries. In fact, there seems to be
an impression that the Portland cream
erymen have occasionally played some
pretty smooth tricks on the country
dealers, to the financial benefit of the
Portland end of the string. "Ot
course the Portland creamery managers
deny any such action" said a prom
inent creamery manager today, but We
know that Portland dealers have in
side information when the price is go
ing to change and that the country
dealer loses and the Portland men gaiI
by the sudden changes in prices"
There seems to be feeling that
there should be a uniform price be
tween butterfat and butter, although
Portland occasionally announces an ad
vance in butter with no change in but
ter-fat. At present Portland makes the
price on butter and butter fat and tie
country dealer makes the best of it.
Among the subjects to be discussed
tomorrow is that of raising the quality
q
There will also be discussion of 9
plan whereby country creameries viii
have some voice in the fixing Of the
price. AS the matter now stands, The
country creamery takes just whatever
the Portland men are willing to hanC
them, and the feeling is growing with
the rural men that now is the time tC
take some definite action.

Board Of Control Pays
For Car COnviCts Stole

Because his car had been stolen by
six convicts who escaped from the peni-
tentiary on August ], 1916, and driven
to and left in Cow Creek canyon smash
ed to bits, the state board of control
at its meeting yesterday reimbursed
Roscoe Langley, from whom the car
was taken in the sum of $4l7.25. When
the convicts escaped they stole the car
from the Langley home near Silverton.
He put in a bill for $5l9 which he
claimed was due for trips made in
search of tine ear. He recovered the
engine from the smashed car and plac-
ed it in car which he built.
The men who escaped from the peni-
tertiary at that time were A. J. Grlf-
fin, John Smith, c. D. Jones, Thomas
Lindsey, Edward Bell and Elmer Ber-
nard. Governor Withycombe did not
favora,allowing the claim because he
thought it would set dangerous prece-
dent but Treasurer Kay and Secretary
Oicott declared that the state was re-
sponsible for the deeds of its wards,
and after a discussion, it was decided to
allow the price of a new car.
The proposition Of allowing transfers
of patients from one institution to an
other was discussed and legislation fav-
oring the plan discussed. A physician
to work among the patients was also
favored

ANNUAL SESSION
OF ASSOCIATION
Association Holds
Yearly Meeting at Highland
Friends Church

The annual session of the Ministerial
association of Oregon yearly meeting of
the Friends church began last evening
in the Highland Friends church, with
the convention sermon by Rev. Homer
L. Cox, of Portland, on the theme, ga
Fulfilled Ministry.V There is a good
attendance of ministers and workers in
the yearly meeting.
The session this morning was devoted
to an address on "The Minister and
His Preparation, " by President Levi I.
Pennington, of Pacific college, and a
meeting of an evangelistie character,
led by Miss Luranna Terrell, of Oska-
loosa, Iowa. The devotional meeting at
the opening of this morning session was
led by Miss Edith M. Minchin, Of Dun
dee.
The subject of the afternoon address
by President Pennington was "Friends
Peeuliarities, and he dealt with the
things that made the old-time Quaker a
marked man. Most of these outward
peculiarities have been abandoned, but
President Pennington sought to show
the significance in former times of the
peculiarities, and the meaning of their
underlying principles in present day
life. Among the things presented were
"plain" dress, "plain language, the re
fusal to remove the hat, to take oats,
to support the state church, the non
observance of the outward ordinances,
silent worship, woman's ministry, birth
right membership and other things that
have marked the Friends church off
from other denominations, with which
the Quakers are in full accord, however,
on the fundamentals of orthodox relig
ious doctrine.
Mrs. Nettie Riley, of Portland, gave
very interesting and profitable address
on church finance at the afternoon
meeting.
Dean Alden, of Willamette university.
will speak this evening at 1880 on "The
Pilgrim Fathers.' The sessions of the
conference continue tomorrow and
Thursday. The address tomorrow even,
ing is on the subject of the "Friends
