12 THE -aiORXIXG OREGOXIAN, WEDNESDAY,' SEPTEMBER 22, 1909. GORDWDOD PRICE INCREASED AGAIN Dealers in Combine Boost Fir Another Notch and Are Now Asking $6. THEIR REASONS ARE GIVEN Secretary of AnsoHation Saj-s Cost to Them Is Increasing and Pre dict Famine Before End of Winter. Not content -with Increasing the price ef cordwood from $5 a cord to $3.50 last week a number of firms belonging to the Tsew cordwood combine, which operates under the name of the "Wood Dealers' Association, has tacked on an additional V cents and Is now selling cordwood at j 16 a cord. The Wood Dealers' Associa tion comprises every cordwood dealer in Portland, with two .exceptions. The price of cordwood it was said by members of the association would remain It $5.50 unless a wood famine set In. This announcement was made but five days aifo. and now. several of the firms, which ray that the association has taken no action to prevent them Increasing the price of fir cordwood. have done this, boosting the price to $6. Combine's Side Is Given. The reasons advanced are that the wood cutters in the country have increased the prices of their wood and that there is no profit to the dealer in handling the wood at $5.50. The price a few weeks ago stood at H a cord, and this price was not deemed sufficient. John V. Strange, sec retary of the Wood Dealers' Association, sets up a number of reasons for increas ing the price of V, declaring that the cost of handling the fuel has Increased, that transportation facilities are not as Rood as they were, and then goes on to tell of losses by fires and other, causes. Mr. Strange says: "There is an association comprising the majority of the cordwood dealers in th City of Portland, and it has been In op eration for some littlo time. It is not In any sense a trust or combination created for the purpose of advancing prices, but is organized more for the purpose of standardizing methods and securing uni formity'in the conduct of the business of i the fuel sjeaiers. "The cost at every point In handling fuel from the forest to the consumer has greatly increased. Every year the for i ests of merchantable red and yellow nr f are cut farther and farther away from Portland and therefore freight rates con stantly increase .on the fuel from two reasons: First, because of the longer haul and second, because of the constant ten dency on the part of the railways them selves to Increase the price for transport ing wood to Portland over what it has been in former years. "The average price for four-foot cord wood during the past Summer months has been $5 per cord, but it has advanced recently to $3.50 per cord, at which figure there is very little profit to the dealers. "In case the dealers purchase cord' wood from those who manufacture it In the forest for sale through the fuel deal ers in Portland the average price paid at the -present time Is about $3.90 per cord delivered at Portland on the cars. To this must be added 25 cents for hand ling the wood from the car to the yard and $1 for delivery, which will, the same as before, bring the price above $5 per cord to the dealers themselves. Former Prides Cited. "The present prices of wood at $5.50 per cord in four-foot lengths are no hlrhnp thnn thvi vitra in SpnttiTnlwr 1308, and much lower than 1907, being $7 per cord in that year. 'Biiefly stated, one of the main pur poses of the Wood Dealers' Association Is through interchange of information between Its members to cut out dead beats and people who seek to take ad vantage of the fuel companies In one manner or other. For -the purpose of eliminating these troublesome evils of the fuel business the Wood Dealers' Association came into existence, and It expects to give the honet purchasers of fuel better service and a better quality of fuel than ever before by eliminating the dead beats and trouble some customers. "It is true that all of the fuel deal ers In Portland do not belong to the Association. But this is of small con cern to the members of the association, as the greater number of them are worked to their utmost capacity and have orders for delivery -of fuel for many weeks In the future at the cur rent prices of $3.50 to $6 per cord." . The price of cordwood has varied from year to year. This year It has been fluc tuating between $4.73 and $6 a cord, last year between $5 and $6.50 a cord, in 1S07 from $5.50 to $7 and the year before from $3.75 to $6. One prominent wood-dealer rays that a famine is Imminent during the coming Winter. He places the avail able supply at 30.000 cords and the con sumption annually in Portland at 40.010 cords, and declares the result will be a famine and high prices. Finds Prom at $5. One of the dealers who claims to be Independent of the trust and is selling wood at $5. asserts there is enough money at this price to show a profit. He agrees with the association secretary in stating that the wood delivered here costs $390 a cord.' but says the cost of teaming Is but 65 oents a cord on the average, citing the further fact .that the cost of oats has decreased from to $0f and should cut down the cost of teaming. He de clares that there has been no Increase in the price by the woodcutters, but thinks that there may be an increase be fore the -Winter Is over. The prices of slabwood or oak or ash has not been touched by the Wood Deal ers' Association nor by the Independents. The price of oak wood, taken in carloads, remains at $7 a cord, and dealers antici pate no falling off in this price, owing to the- fact that the oak is getting away from the railroads and the supply will be running shorter all the time until more roads are built Into the hardwood dis tricts. MILWAUKEE MAKES PLANS Officials Will Ttiscnss Winter Sched ule at Seattle Meeting. Whether the Chicago. Milwaukee & Puget Sound Railroad will engage In competition with the Northern transcon tinental railroads for passenger business this Fall or wait until Spring wilt likely be determined at a meeting of the board of directors of the railroad to be held In .Seattle next week. Tt is expected that the Eastern directors will visit Seattle tt that time for the pur pose of discussing the situation, which Ins hewn brought to an acute stage by the. offer of the Hill roads to put on a fast mail train from Chicago to Puget Sound. The directors, after Inspecting the roadbed of the new railway, will de- termtne whether It Is now In condition to put on a through service. It has been the intention of the railway company to delay the inauguration of a through passenger service until next Spring in order that the roadbed might be put In shape, so that the new service could be Initiated with fast trains of the best equipment obtainable. In railroad circles it Is asserted that the idea of putting on a fast mail train was for the purpose of cutting the Mil waukee out of postal profits on the start. The mileage of the new road between Seattle and St. Paul Is about 150 miles shorter than that of the other roads, making possible a running time four to five hours shorter than that maintained by the Great Northern or Northern Pa cific at the present speed of transconti nental trains. Ever since the Milwaukee announced its Intention to enter the transcontinental field the other Northern roads ihave been improving equipment and roadbeds in preparation for the char acter of competition that it is'known the Milwaukee will put up. The reputation of the new road In the East In the matter of roadbeds and equip ment is of the highest. It has been a pioneer In double-tracking, fast service and perfect equipment. -.: Since the Hill roads began talking fast mall, it has been predicted that the Mil waukee would have to put on Its through passenger trains this Fall In order to prevent a loss of expected business. Rail road men in Portland would not be sur prised to bear of the announcement of a through service to begin by November 1 as a result of the directors' meeting next week.

There is hardly a community in this country where women cannot be found who have been restored to health by this famous old remedy, . made exclusively from a simple formula of roots and herbs..

I had tried several doctor's medicines, but nothing did me any good. ' . " For three years I lived on medicines and thought I would never get well, when I read an advertisment of Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound, and was advised to try It. My husband got me one bottle of the Compound, and It did me so much good I continued its use. I am now a well woman ,nd enjoy" the best of health.. "I adviso all women suffering from such troubles to . give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. They won't regret it, for it will surely cure you." Mrs. Bessie L. Hicks, 819 Cleveland st- Houston.
