In considering funds to be contrib
uted for the Victory Week entertain
ment we can but remark on the ut
ter indifference of foreign corpora
tions, whose business thrives by ad-
vancement of the city, such as telc-
graph, telephone, electric companies
and the like, when 1t comes to cash
contributions to enterprises that will
put the city forward. They reap
great benefits and some plan SHOULD
be raised to induce them to bear
their share Of the burden. To raise
all such funds by taxation would do

PORTLAND rs. ASHLAND PRICES

On looking over the Oregonian the
other day our eyes fell on an adver-
tisement of a large Portland firm
giving special prices on furniture.
We compared these special prices
with the price of furniture of same
quality offered here by our dealers
and was surprised to find that Port
lands special prices were higher, for
the same article, than the regular re.
tail prices of our local merchants.
There is perfectly good reason why
that should be so, Overhead cost at
Portland, such as rent, clerk hire, and
the. like is much higher than Ashland.
That overhead must needs be ab-
sorbed by the purchaser Ashland
merchants can sell at the same basic
profits asked by city firms and still
sell to the consumer at from five to
ten per cent less than Portland firms.
That is precisely what they are do
ing every day.
1t is easy enough to imagine, with
out due investigation, that commOdi-
ties can be bought cheaper in large
commercial center than at home. but
comparison of prices proves it is not
so. In most cases citizens who send
away for merchandise come out loser
in the transaction at least the amount
of the freight, in many cases more.
We have said before that Ashland
ers may trade in Portland, Portland
ers in Chicago, Chicagoians in New
York, New Workers at Paris, but the

1t is an American characteristic
to trade away from home. II is au
exceedingly harmful one. II there

Chicago, will never pay the bill. If
you want to live in a good town
spend your money at home. You have
no idea how your little might, coupled
with the mite OF your neighbors, will

prosperity. And besides. often in the

Ashland may have vacant store
rooms from time to time that might
be profitably occupied If everybody
trades at home.

Secretary Lane, commenting on the
tremendous present debt OF the na-

says; ITO stand paralyzed in the
presence OF a debt is TO become its

that suggestion.

CAN NOT GET THE COAL
Efforts Of George Gregory, Secretary
Of Iowa Coal Dealers Association, to
Get Fuel Held on Railroads in iii.
nois Proves Unsuccessful.

There is little hope now that any
Of the large quantity Of eastern coal,
which was reported as congestins
railroads in Illinois, will reach Iowa
dealers who are short Of coal and
could use a great deal Of it. When
the Chicago Tribune published last
week that this high-priced coal was
clogging railroad traffic because there
was no disposition to be made Of it,
George Gregory, Of this city, acting
for the Iowa Retail Coal Dealers As
ISOLATION, of which ne is secretary, tel
egraphed that Iowa dealers could use
thousands Of cars Of it.
The outcome Of the correspondence
that has resulted is that points Of orr
gin, exact grades and prices for the
coal cannot be furnished. The special
obstacle that prevents Iowa dealers
from getting the coal is that B. J.
Rowe, regional coal director, could
not give Mr.. Gregory any guarantee
az to the prices dealers would have to
pay for the coal. 1t was even stated
to him that the dealers would have
to post a bond to guarantee payment
for the coal. Mr.. Gregory has there
fore given up the attempt to get the
fuel.
The cause Of the whole situation is
that the railroads, which were using
eastern coal, refused to take any more
of it as soon as cheaper western coal
was available. The result has been
that the coal Is standing on sidings
blocking tracks and holding up coal
cars that ought to be returned to the
mines.

ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Strand.


In spite of the combination Of Mari
on Davies. the youthful screen star,
story of mystery ard romance ~
E. Philips Oppenhein, Cosmopoli-
tan production and Paramount-Art-
crafc picture, "The Cinema Murder"
now showing at the Strand, is not up
to the usual standard of such produc-
tons. Just what is the reason that
this picture is not so good is hard to
define, but perhaps it is because it is
80 complicated, being story within a
story. 1t ran as serial in the Cos
mopoIitan, which can easily be recog-
niaed from q too faithful production
of the director.
The feature scene IN the film Is a
play within picture-showing a per-
Torrance Of the spoken drama on
the screen, in which Miss Davies, as
the star, scores tremendous hit. The
details Of the performance are shown
on the screen faithfully, even to the
Archaeological audience, the prop
critics behind the scenes, and the ac-
ton of the play.
Miss Davies won her success in rnu-
steal comedy and her abilities would
probably show to better advantage in
that type of play. Nigel Barrie heads
the cast which supports her. A CON-
edy Is also on the program.

that the library probably would be
