Altliouph Favoring Arch of Wel come, Council Will Probably Sustain th Veto. Work of enlisting the support of as many "Willamette cfties and towns as pos sible in the mapntfk-ent pa?eanC "The SHnt of the Golden West,'' one of the main feature of the June Festival, has hren aliened ti" George B. Thomas, who is spfndins ti.P present week visiting the various communities up the river. He w U outline to the commercial organiza tions of all towns visited the daily and nightly features of the June celebration and will ask each to enter a float in this particular parade, which is to be given over especially to Oregon cities outside of Fortland. Vp to the present time about a score of Oregon citii-s have arranged to enter floats in the competition, and some of th--ni have raised as much as $M) for their individual floats. Others range from t'fi upward. The time is now short, and unless the "boosters" of these different communi ties take steps to enter the race within the next two weeks, the lists will be los'-d. for the reason that the float builders, who are now at work on the set I'i-crs for the many different street pa rades, are so busy that they will not be utile to undertake new work much later th;ui April 20 or 25. Mr. Thomas will cover as much of the Willamette VaHey as he can the present week and upon his report to the Rose Festival executive committee will depend the magnitude of the All-Oregon demon stration. Contrary to the hopes of the Festival officials. It is reasonably certain that the City Council, this afternoon, will sustain the veto of the "Arch of Welcome' ordi nance, by Mayor Iane. This ordinance called for an appropriation of 15v0, to be expended in the erection of an arch at the Union Depot, where the opening cere monies of the Festival week were to take place. The veto of Mayor Lane was en tirely unexpected, for the reason that he had previously promised the Festival management that he would turn the keys of the city over to King Rex Oregonus at the. "Arch of Welcome" at noon, Monday, June 1, and agreed that it was the best place In the city to hold the inauguration exercises. Mayor Lane's veto, together with the probability that the Council will sustain Jt, will mean that the entire programme of th first day of the Festival will have to be changed. A member of the City Council who is not of Mayor Lane's party said yesterday affernoon: "The Mayor has decided that the city cannot afford to spend this amount of money for this purpose. Looking at the matter in that light. I think the majority of the Council will let him have his own way. I certainly am in favor of fixing the responsibility upon his shoulders. I worked for the passage of the ordinance originally and I believe "that it would oe a splendid advertisement for Portland, but we will stand pat on the veto and ne may take the blame.

Smith Meat Co., 226 Alder St., Bet. 1st and 3d Srrreta. "FIGHTING THE BEEF TRUST" VOL. 1. No. 33. PORTLAND, OR, APRIL 7, 1908 PRICE. YOUR PATRONAGE. The Capture of Smitdfield. Up to about four years ago the Beef Trust was supplying the retail meat markets of England with 80 per cent of their Imported meats. One would have thought that the Chicago packers would have been well contented with this gigantic monopoly, but they were not. They hit upon the idea cf con trolling the retail meat trade of Lon don and set their eyes on old Smith field. Travelers will tell yon that Smlthfield market has a tremendous advantage In location. It Is the very heart of London, only five minutes from St. Paul's Cathedral, and occu pies 10 acres. The Beef Trust began its game by buying one of the principal stalls and retaining the proprietor as manager under the agreement that he run the business In his own name. "Our Iden tity must be kept secret" was the or ders. The Trust now giggles with glee when It tells how, although it was supplying all the butchers, this one stall undersold all the other stalls and coralled the hotel trade, the ship trade and the province trade It explains that this one stall (owners identity kept secret) was used to batter to de struction the other stalls so that the owners were obliged to turn them over to the Trust at a loss and the Trust kept on buying- until London awoke to find old Smlthfield In com plete control of the Chicago packers. An average of 250,000 pounds of meat is sold each day in Smlthfield. Fanny what it means to the Trust to raise tho price of meat a penny a pound S25'fi a day you will say. Yes. but the Trust never raises the price a penny! It usually doubles the price of meat. TIih English people are wildly indignant over the hold-up and have applied to Parliament for relief. l'ou've got the same Beef Trust In Portland using every corruptible means to place the meat trade in the hands of Its own markets (owners Identity kept secret). The Beef Trust, may have captured Smlthfield but It will never get Smith. He has pledged himself to stand by the people of Portland and keep the price of meat down. He will not sell out to the Trust, nor will he be driven out, be cause we are sure the Portland public will stand by SMITH All our meats are the same price as usual. The markets that have been put up alongside of us are not ours. When you come to Smith's see that Smith's name Is over the door, then come In.
