20 THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUART 17. 1010. T SETTLED IN PART Retailers, as Individuals, Agree to Accept Cuts for Half-Year as Test. MIDDLE-WEST MEN DEMUR Western. Retail Inmbermcn'g Asso ciation Elects A. X. Dunlap Pres ident, Selects San Francisco as Next Rendezvous. It required practically all of another half-day session of the Western Re tail Lumbermen's Association to settle the moot odd-lengths question yester day. For the purpose of adjusting- the controversy the meeting became a con vention of retailers and manufacturers with representatives from associations of the Midlle West as deliberative members also. The final adjustment, while satisfactory- to a majority of retailers and manufacturers, was op posed from both sides, and the Middle West representatives asked to go on record as not being participants in the compromise on the ground that their associations had already ' acted on the subject,' by resolving that they would not accept what they did not order. Buyers on "1'robution." As one retailer expressed the situ ation "the buyers have been put on probatidh for six months." The reso lution adopted by the combined assem blage was: Whereas. The proposal of th3 Western Lumber manufacturers for the adoption or lil leliKths in planinK mill products has been misunderstood and- the spirit of the (proposal misinterpreted on the part. of many (retailers: and Whereas. The -retail lumber dealer should , be and ia desirous of assisting in the work fif forest conservation, of -which this move Iment is a part; and Whereas, Both branches of the trad t recognize that a certain amount of educa tion and more or less expense to the trada 4s called for in order to popularize tho use 'of odd lengths; therefore, be it Six Months' Tent A-tkeU. ' Resolved, That we. representatives of various branches of th-e trade, now in at tendance at the session of the Western Re tail Lumbermen's Association, do hereby i express our belief that the manufacturers I should for a. period of six months supply their trade with such odd lengths up to 16 ! per cent in each car as they may elect, charging for euch odd lengths as though tiiy were of the next lower even lengths in footage: and In reciprocity for the aa 'aistance on the part of the manufacturers I 'the retail dealer uhould go on record as accepting ae fair and reasonable., after said period of six months, the arrangement : covering odd lengths provided in the new 'standard price list dated February 1, 1910. The arrangement referred to in the standard price-list provides that the .'manufacturer may supply odd lengths I up to 15 per cent In lengths of II feet and over and up to IS per cent of odd and even lengths of nine feet and under, the buyer to have the privilege of specifying lengths at a cost of $2 additional a thousand. ' Retailers Adopt 1'lan. The retailers' association "later as an individual organization. indorsed the foregoing resolution and made it effective upon adoption , regularly of the manufacturers' association. The disposal of the odd lengths quc-s-tion. the selection of San Francisco as the next place of meeting, the adoption of a full set of resolutions, and election of officers constituted ,the remaining business of the session. The new officers, whoso names were reported by a nominating committee, and who were elected without opposition are: President, A. H. Dunlap, 'Cascade Iocks, Or.; vice-president, J. O. Martin, Fresno, Cal.; directors, 11. S. Williamson, ' Lincoln, Cal.; Robert Anderson, Logan, ' 1'tah. Hay City Xext Rendezvous. San Francisco's invitation for the next meeting of the association was the only one presented and with a clear field the southern .metropolis was selected unani mously. The general resolutions adopted express appreciation of the entertainment pro vided by the Manufacturers' Association and the Commercial Club and the treat ment accorded the convention by the Portland press and the trade papers. In addition to a formal indorsement of the odd lengths compromise, the resolutions follow: Whereas. There is among the manufac turers of iv?d cedar shingles a growing dis position to grade products of their mills in closer ' conformity to the established standards; and (iradingr Association Q. K.'d. Whereas, This disposition is takinK shape In the form of so-called grading associa tions and inspection bureaus; be it thene lfor Hesolved. That we commend such move ments as steps in the riKht direction and that we shall give preference to such brands 'of shingles as shall show uniformity in fcrnde. of manufacture; Whereas. The manufacturers of fir and pine lumber have discussed and by resolu tion have stated tlwir intent of using so called standard gauges and patterns to be used in the manufacture of planing mill products: and Whereas. Most of the manufacturers have been so absorbed In the introduction of odd lengths that they have neglected this really Important matter of establishing their gauges and standards; therefore be it ti a u pro Adoption Urged. Resolved, That we, the Western Retail Lumbermen's Assoclat ion --do earnestly com mend to our manufacturing fronds the wis ilom and expediency of prompt adoption of the standard gauge and patterns in their worked clears, especially ltooring. ceiling, rustic and Jap sir! trig; and w-e go on record her3 and now as -believing that this will prove much to the advantage of the West ern manufacturing interests and to their as sociations; Whereas, The. Secretary of the Interior has advised Congress that In order to com plete the National irrigation projects now in process of bidding, additional funds are imperatively demanded; and Whereas, Provision for the issuance of $30,000,000 of bonds to run 15 years to bear 8 per cent Interest has been made by the Introduction of a bill by Senator Borah, of Idaho; and Whrf-reas. The completion of these projects would afford land for thousands of homes and aid in the development of the West; now therefore, be it Good Roads Indorsed. Resolved. That the Western Retail Lum bermen's Association do hereby pledge its support and indorsement to the measure in troduced with this end in view; Whereas, We recognize that there are great benefits to be derived from a move ment for good roads, and roallzlng the ne cessity of better organization and control both by state and Nation : therefore he it Resolved, That we hereby Indorse the movement in all the Northwestern states, looking to the improvement of our public highways; Resolved. That It Is the sense of the members of the Western Rotall Lumber men's Association hero convened that it is for the .best Interests of all concerned that the practice of putting cars in transit should be abolished, for the reason that it Is a big factor in overstocking the market and has a tendency to demoralize trade. v Secretary Is Praised. We wish to congratulate the members of our association on the rapid growth In the ast year and also to congratulate our -aious secretary for-tho able effort he has ODDLENG H POINT made in bringing; about this increase In membership and interest throughout the several states. From the floor of the convention a resolution was presented and adopted, also, requesting that the shipper send a copy of the bill of lading with the Invoice to facilitate tracing of shipments when delayed. Following the adjournment of the Lum bermen's Association the annual meeting of the Lumbermen's Mutual Society, the insurance branch of the organization, was held.

Portland Firm Competes With New Owner of Crater Lake Railroad. Franchise Request Filed. Competition In the construction of an electric railroad system to cover the Rogue River Valley is promised. Some months ago John R. Allen, a New York capitalist who purchased the Medford-Eagle Point or Crater Lake Railroad, announced his Intention of building" a system- and has been seeking franchises in several cities of the valley which he hopes' to connect by electric roads to be built, he an nounced, at the earliest possible date. Within the past week the represen tatives of the American Development Company, recently incorporated at Portland, and in which British Colum bia capital' is said to be interested, have appeared before the Jackson County Commissioners and applied for a franchise over the roads of the county for a proposed electric line to extend through Jackson and Josephine Counties to a point southeast of Ash land. The court has not yet taken any action upon the application for the franchise. The application asks for 30 days in which to select the roads of the county which the company desires to use for its main line and four months to se lect those it may desire to use in the construction of feeder ' lines through the county to the main line. The franchise sought provides that not less that five miles of the main line shall be built and placed In actual operation before the end of 3910, and the main line through the val ley completed within 1911. The franchise also contemplates an adjustment, before the lines are built. of the share of the cost of maintenance of the roads used to be paid by the company. It also provides that the rates for freight and pas senger fares shall be regulated by the County Court but shall be Just and rea sonable. There is considerable speculation in this section as to the financial back-, ing of the American Development Company, which, it is rumored, has satisfied the County Court of Its ability to finance the enterprise successfully. The , company was only Incorporated with the Secretary of State a few weeks ago and has as yet filed no articles of incorporation in this county or in Josephine. LAMP OPPONENTS HEARD EASTSIDERS ASK MAYOR TO VETO POST ORDINANCE. Simon lias Case Vnder Advisement. Committee Contends Type Sought Is Better. Mayor Simon was appealed to yester day afternoon by the East Side Business Men's Club in an effort to secure relief from the action of the City Council, taken at its last session, relative to the type of lamppost to be used on Grand avenue and other thoroughfares in that vicinity. A committee, headed -by Presi dent Atchley, called at the Mayor's of fice arid for an hour discussed the situa tion. City Engineer Morris, who sup ports the Council's action was present. After the conference. Mayor Simon de clared that nothing definite was done, but that he heard the complaints of the committee, and has the case under ad visement. He was asked to veto the or dinance. The other side of the case is that the class of lamppost designated by the Coun cil against the wishes of the East Sid ers. is the same as that used on the principal streets of the West Side, and uniformity of style is the feature desired by the majority members. This action was fought by Councilman Kubli, Rush light, Menefee and Ellis, all from the East Side, but their votes were not enough to win. The East Side men declare the type of lamppost desired by them is better than the style forced upon them by the Council. They say their choice of lamp will give more light and will be more attractive. FULTON PARK TO IMPROVE Club Organized to Develop Beauties of Southern Suburh.

If you have drifted from one physician's offifee to another without relief, and gone the rounds of the various pretenders until disgust and despair is your lot, you are the very person I want to consult. Because a blacksmith is unable to repair a watch is no reflection on an expert watchsmi'th. My treatment will build up and replenish the vital tonicity of the enfeebled system, as hundreds of hitherto hopeless and despairing patients will testify. v With me there is no experimenting. I have eliminated such a large nnmber-of ailments from the various forms of diseases and confined my practice so exclusively to those selected as my specialty that my record along these lines renders successful competition out of the question. If yon expect to hold your own in the keen competition of life, you mast get in full possession of your faculties. The foundation of success in business and the most desirable of all physical attainments is health. The capabilities and powers possessed by any man, or the brightest spirit, with its wonderful possibilities, must depend upon health. Intellectual ity, knowledge and ambition can do nothing without it, and health is, therefore, of the most commanding interest and importance. Should the experience of physicians who harve received the unqualified indorsement of the pulp't, the press and laymen not be worth something in your own casef Under my care you are absolutely assured of the most modern methods and the latest discoveries known to medical science. The unsolicited testimonials from eared patients and business men should be of some value to you, and my fee for a cure is insignifi cant compared with results. It is possible that other specialists might, in a given case, be able to benefit. But why go through a fence of burrs after one blackberry and get more burrs than berries ? Why experiment, when tried and true will cost less money. . I make no claims that are not supported by the facts. The company commenced business in its present quarters over 30 years ago, and is doing more than double the amount now than 10 or 20 years ago. Refer ences are the best banks and business men and grateful patients cured all over Oregon and Washington.
