Portland is doing the grand thing

their praises Of the manner in which
this loyal city is caring for the thou

The writer dis attended six National
Encampments of the Grand Army and

for the old soldiers in better shape
than any other encampment city at
which he was present
The old boys are having the time of
their lives. meeting old comrades and
exchanging stories Of the days that
tried mem $ souls. These stories have
often been told and in the reteIling
they lose none of the thrills that are
intended to 90 with them.
Some stories have been told SO often
that the narrators have got SO they
believe them. The man who captured
jeff Davis is here as he always is at a
National or State Encampment
The camp fires at the auditorium are
crowded with enthusiastic audiences.
Corporal Tanner is still the most popu-
tar speaker at these gatherings.
The parade Tuesday was great sue

perfect for marching regular Oregon

were in good trim and proudly stepped
along with the old swing Of the days
of 81. The line was one hour and
quarters in passing the reviewing

over one mile. Thousands Of people
lined the sidewalks and shouted their
welcome to the Grand Army. 1t might
be said there We're hundreds of thou
sands Of spectators to view this last
march Of a National Grand Army En-

Judge Takes Pity
On Poor Modiste
In Smuggling Case
Says He Was Lenient With
Mrs. Whitney Warren,
So Fines Her $50

A poorly clad dressmaker stood be-
fore Judge Harland B. Howe. of Yer
mont, in the Federal Court Of this dis
trict yesterday and pleaded guilty TO
having received smuggled lace worth
$l40. 1t was in the same court where
Mrs. Whitney Warren, wife of the we'll
known architect, was let off several
months ago with a comparatively light
fine for smuggling finery worth $1,000.
When the court had accented her
plea, Joseph A. Bordeau. the pros
ecutor, urged that Judge Howe impose
a severe penalty as an example to
others who might seek to violate the
customs law
All the while Judge Howe, as it later
appeared, was turning over in his mind
the comparatively light sentence that
had been imposed upon Mrs. Warren.
Presently he asked many questions
concerning Mrs. Ernestinc Perrin, the
prisoner. He learned that she had a
small shop in East Si.xty-second Street
and was not able to pay nominal fine.
In passing sentence, he recalled that
he had imposed a sentence Of three
months in prison and fine of $500
upon young Irishman who had
pleaded guilty to petty smuggling. and
had reached the conclusion that he
had done wrong.
Il concluded that had done wrong"
nc said, when | considered that the
practice here is not to send wealthy
smuSglers TO Jail but to let them off
with fines"
He said he hsd in mind the Mrs.
Warren case, and took into considera-
ton the fact that Mrs Perrin was not
a wealthy modiste. Instead of sending
her to jail. as was urged, he imposed
fine OF $50. Upon Vincent lie Bel

poor alike. regard the fines on these
two defendants as proportionately
greater punishment than were the fines
imposed upon Mrs. Whitney Warren
and her friend Miss Burden. | regard
this sentence an equitable, conscient-
lous and religious ruling"
Mrs. Perrin informed the court that
she was willing to sell her clothing to
pay the fine and felt grateful to es-
cape the humiliation of going to Jail.
She was paroled by the court until the
fine is paid.

Enormous Profits
In Gasolene Trade
Federal Report Shows Retail
Prices 7 Cents Higher Than
Production Cost

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. - Gasolcne
production costs, showing that retail
prices arc from T TO 10 cents above
the refining cost, were made public to-
day by the Federal Trade Commission
after an Investigation directed by
Victor Murdock. The cost Of produc-
ing gasolene was found to be lowest
IN California. 1852 cents. The retail
price in San Francisco was given as
20.5 cents.
The highest production cost was in
New Jersey and Eastern territory,
amounting to 1882 cents, while in
New York the retail price was 26 cents.
Other figures given were: Gulf coast,

26 cents; Oklahoma, l4.467O6 cents;
Oklahoma City retail price, "a cents;
Indiana and Northern Mississippi Val

2l cents.
The commission said it used the
market price for crude oil in COM
putting the refining COST but added
that. as most important reiiheries also
we're interested in oil wells and pipe
lines, it followed that refining costs
contain an element Of profit on the
