BUTTER GOES' UP Local Creameries Raise Price to 35 Cents a Pound." SOME DEALERS PROTEST Advance Is Not Popular . With All the Trade, but Poor Consumer Is Helpless When Boost Is Once Slade. The advance in the wholesale price of city-made butter to 35 cents does not meet with the approval of all the local cream ery men, some of whom Insist that present conditions do not justify the higher . price. experience has Shawn, however, that when one of the city creameries advances its quotation and is able to maintain it. the others must necesearily fall Into line sooner or later. As there is always much competition to secure cream tne buttermaker that pays the highest price of course gets it. This forces all the creamery men to pay for their butter fat on the basis of the highest price paid for butter. If they ara willing to sell the manufactured article for less than the raw material costs them that is their privilege, but few of them care to keep up such a course very long. Therefore, the highest price quoted on butter in The Oregonlan sets the pace for all the creameries in this section of the country so far as their cream pur chases are concerned. Price Is Shoved Vp. According to the announcement made by the Hazelwood Company In this paper yesterday morning, its price list on top grade butter was advanced 2V4 cents per pound to 35 cents yesterday. M. Mor tensen, manager of the company, main tains that they were justified in taking such a step In view of the known short age of the butter supply in the East and the fact that the cream supply In the Northwest Is falling off, while the demand for butter, both for local consumption and shipment to the Far North continues unabated. T. S. Townsend. of the Townsend Creamery Company, does not take this view of the case. He says that while the production In the East is less than normal. It is due to the lateness of the season and that the deficiency may be made up in the Fall, when the rainfall in creases, as has often been the case. He does not believe that there Is any danger of butter going to the dollar mark. Fred Knecht, of the Oregon Creamery, also believes the move to have been 111 advlsed. "This rise," he said, "has made the Port land market the highest In the United States. We are 10 cents above Chicago and & cents above San Francisco and Seat tle. Even Los Angeles, noted as one of the most expensive markets in the country, sells its butter cheaper than Portland. This high price will flood the market with Eastern butter." Says Kalse Was Inevitable. The Damascus Creamery, like the Hazel wood, believed the time was ripe for a lift In prices and also put out a 35 cent quotation yesterday. Its manager said supplies were running light and cream was becoming scarcer every day, while the trade made no objection to the higher price. The average consumer while objecting to paying any more for his butter will. In the end, of course, pay what bis groceryman demands, but the big pur chasers, the hotels, restaurants and boarding-house keepers will start out on a still hunt for butter made In the East or anywhere else that can be had at a cheaper price. The man in the country who owns the cows will hall the advance with di'tght and hope that another will Boon follow. WILL CURB AUTO MAN I ACS Councilman Baker to Submit His Ordinance Regulating Speed. The regulation of automobiles will be again before the Council for discussion tomorrow in the form of an ordinance that has been prepared by Councilman Baker. The measure is aimed not .only to limit the speed of automobiles on the city streets but also to allow only com petent drivers to operate them and to provide other safeguards. It is probable that the ordinance will not be finally acted on tomorrow but submitted to a committee or passed to the third reading. The ordinance provides that automobiles shall not exceed eight miles an hour when traveling on a straight course and shall slow down to four miles an hour when rounding corners. In addition to this, drivers must stop their machines when approaching streetcars which passengers are taking or leaving. It is provided also that a board of examiners consisting of the City Engineer and City Physician shall pass upon the fitness of all drivers before they are granted a license, which Is to cost J3.

Places of Amusement Will Have to Attract Patronage by Some Other Means. Proprietors of moving picture exhi bitions and other places of amusement must 'do away with phonographs, electric pianos and other alleged musical devices or forfeit their llcensesj. This is the decision- of the license committee of the Council, reached at a meeting yester day afternoon. Complaint was made that these mechanical players, several of which are operated outside of show places on principal streets, are a nui sance, and the committee decided that It would order them removed temporarily and later pass an ordinance covering the matter. The protest against the operation of these Instruments was directed chiefly at a moving picture exhibition in the Gearin building at Thirteenth and Wash ington. This place has an electric piano that is said to entertain or disturb resi dents for blocks around, as the case may be. There are a number of first-class family hotels In the neighborhood and the boarders constituted themselves a voluntary "Society for the Prevention of Unnecessary Noises" and were repre sented yesterday before the license com mittee. They said that the incessant music had ceased to have a charm and that If It was not stilled the boarders threatened to desert en masse and the proprietors would be ruined. Members of the committee added their personal testimony as to the unpleasant ness of these noisesSand Instructed the license officials to notify the owners to remove the players at once. If the or der is not obeyed, the Council will revoke any license it sees fit and put these places out of business at its meeting Wednes day. In the meantime Deputy City At torney Fitzgerald will draft an ordi nance covering the order. Either the players will be declared a nuisance or they will be licensed so heavily as to be practically prohibited. The license committee does not de sire to suppress the playing of any kind of instruments in connection with the entertainments given, but simply those that are on the outside of the buildings or so near the doors as to be plainly heard in the street. It was also recog nized that in some neighborhoods the in-' struments might be less undesirable than in others. In the final order this phase of the sitaution will be considered. ST. JOHNS WILL HAVE GAS Three Franchises Are Sow Before the Council for Consideration. Consideration of gas franchises will be made a special order at the meeting of the St. Johns Council tonight. Mayor Couch is anxious that the Council dispose of the three franchises which have been pending for several months. The James Steel franchise was first submlttd to the Council last May. L. F. Purse submit ted another later and 8. D. Davidorf put in his application last month. There has been a rumor to the effect that one of the three franchises will be withdrawn, but which one is not announced. A strong effort will be made to take definite action at the meeting tonight. Repre sentatives of the Davidorf franchise say they are ready to spend $35,000 in erect ing a plant and the Purse people also an nounce that they are ready to Invest whatever is needed to establish a first class plant, so that the outlook Is favor able for a gas plant for St. Johns. It is expected also that the city hall bills will be subject for consideration. It was hoped to settle these bills through a suit in the court by assigning all the claims to one creditor, but It is announced that objection to this has come up. Also the administrator of the estate of the late City Engineer, Captain. W. W. God rich, has notified the city officials that the city must settle the claim the estate holds or suit will be started.

Can it be that you, a department of Government inspection as you call yourself, are trying to run a flim-flam game on the public? Can it be you are securing; 2c stamps under false pretenses? . If you don't send that book pretty quick, we'll explain to Uncle Sam how you are trying to bunco the public out of stamps. Smith's as good as his word. You know how some of your pseudo friends Jolly you and threaten to send Smith after you. That makes your mile come off. Rather than hunt vp candidates for charity and endeavor to feed them your meat, we suggest that you multiply your $175 a hundred times and hand It around to the retail butchers of Portland, men who stood by you so nobly when you asked them to boycott Smith men who are now reaping the harvest of their folly. You are charg ing these fellows more for their meat than Smith Is asking the public, and they are going down like dead soldiers under fire they can't stand up against it. Your Nemesis; as ever.
