PORTLAND, Or., March 11 (8pl.)
Prlrea paid the farmer for bla pro
ducts 'In the Portland market have
advanced more than 31.4 per cent dur
ing the paat eight yeara, according to
flgurea compiled by President Harvey
Kurkwlth of the Portland Commercial
Club. He ranaacked the record a of
the Wella-Pargo Expreaa Company, of
which he la general agent, for prlcea
In the local market during the spring
and fall of 1902. 1905 and 1910 and
baaed hla comparison upon theae fig
ures. President BecKwito'a findings are
startling. That the ataple farm pro
ducts have advanced In price almost
one-third la not generally known, al
though the houaeholder haa had it lm
preased upon him frequently that the
eaaentlala were flying high. They are
still up In the blue and atlll rising.
The final altitude record doea not ap
pear to be yet In sight.
The eleven commodities Investigat
ed by President Beckwlth are plain
neceaaltlea. They have nothing to do
wtth " high living and are potatoes,
onions, mutton, veal, ham, tomatoes,
turnips, butter, eggs, cheeae and poul
try. Turnips, alone, have remained
the ssme price In October, 1910, aa In
October, 1908. However, It la noted
that the humble turnip got ambltloua
In 1902 and jumped over 40 per cent
between April and October of that
year. -
Tk. hnl aiihlept la Internal Ino- and
haa been gone Into thoroughly b
President Beckwlth. While hla reve
lations are not calculated to add to
the peace of mind of the heads of
families, they at least point the way
out. In hla opinion, the answer to
the problem la to go onto the aoll and
raise something. It doesn't seem to
matter much what.
"These figures Indicate that Port
land la a high-priced market tor farm
produce," said President Beckwlth,
and It should be noted thai these quo
tations are wholeaale, what la paid to
the farmer. The high prlcea are due
to the Increase In consumption over
production. , While the production haa
Increased In the Pacific Northweat,
the Increase In consumption haa been
even more rapid, necessitating bring
ing In farm produce from the Middle
Weat that ahould, and could, be raiaea
here at home. .
"There are two Items. In the table
of prlcea aubmltted, to which I desire
to call particular attemion-egga ana
poultry. There Is no good reason why
the Pacific Northwest should not pro
duce enough eggs and chickens to ful
ly aupply the local demand and thua
relieve the wholesalers of the neces
sity of ordering carload after carload
from the Middle West. There la ab
solutely no danger of an overproduc
tion In these llnea, aa there la little
nroaoect thtt the Increase In aupply
will exceed, or even equal, the Increase
In demnnd occasioned by a rapidly
irnwlni noDlilatlon.
"Let us assume that there are 5,000
farmers In Oregon and that eacn rarra-
Ler keeps an average of 80 bene at the
nreaent time: that each hen Will raise,
during the coming summer, a brood of
IQ chlckene, -nd, during tne Diuance.
of the year lay 11 dosen egRa. The
chlckena ahould certainly be worth 60
eenta each when ready for market and
. enra will aell for a minimum price
of 25 centa par dosen, making a total
of 18. and the rarmer aim na m
original hen. An addition of only one
hen by each farmer, on the above
baals, will amount to $40,000 annually.
"There haa been ao much taut or
fruit growing In the Paclflo Northwest
that we are Inclined to overlook the
staplea ao much In demand Theae
are really more Important than fruit
yet no one brags about the potato
crop or the wealth to be made In grow
ing turnips. In compiling thla table.
It waa my dealre to call attention to
the prlcea actually, received by the
producer and ahow what a splendid
market exlats right here at home for
theae farm crops,
Because of the activity of the lum
ber campa. the great amount of rail
road conatructlon, mining develop
ment and other big sources of demand
for . farm produce, thla condition la
one that will not be changed for a
long time. If ever, and the situation
Is a very Inviting one to the producer.
More people ahould go on the farma.
Why should one alave In the city to
make a bare living wben he may
achieve Independence In the country?
The opportunities the soil offer are
the great eat and the rewards the most
certain. There la room la Oregon for
thouaanda of farmers; this Is the
state's greateat need."

There haa been more or leas talk
for tbe past ten years relative to the
taking Into the city of the mills and
homea on the Weat Side. Tbe pas
sage In the legislature of the Dlmlck
bill, providing a way to do thla, has
renewed this talk. At the meeting of
Council Thuraday night tbe question
wss brought up again and there waa
considerable talk, leading to no action
on the part of Council, however.
There la certain. to be more or less
agitation of thla question, and the
proper thing to do la for Council to
look tbe matter aquarely In the face
and do what la right U left to the
tender merclea of the "alore-box de
bater" the , mills wllj ,npt fare very
well In tbe settlement, but If Council
takea It up and settles the question In
a business wsy the mills and the citi
zens are both likely to get proper consideration.
With a view to bringing thla matter
to the . attention of tbe people in the
proper way Mayor Brownell gave tbe
Enterpriae the Interview which fol
lows: , -
""I"Eave tailed- the attention of the
Electric and Railway Company to tbe
condition of the atreet and road bed
down about-Hawley's mills and the
basin, and I can aee that there la no
Intention to raise the road bed and
atreet In harmony with tbe wishes of
the people in Canemah and that part
of Oregon City that use saia street
The people of Moutaln View ana
that part of the city, are anxloua to
have water and thla recommendation
haa brought no action by the Water
Commission and nothing haa been
done, aa I understand It, because aa
they claim, the expense will be large
and they are without funds to make
thla extension, lt Is a problem which
csn only be solved by the people
themselves. It Is evident thst the
people of Mountain View and that part
or tbe city are entuiea to water ana
fire protection, and It la up to the
present administration of tbe city to
try to do something and to aolve ibi4
problem. I am personally In favor of
these things and Improvements, and I
am aatlsfled thst tbe City Council Is
aa anxloua alTd aa willing aa I am to
accommodate the people along these
lines. If they could see their way clear
to do It. For the purpose of calling
the attention of the public to these
matters, I would like to suggest for
their consideration and Investigation,
the question of annexing Canemah and
additional territory on the west side
of the nver to Oregon City.
"It ts Impossible to mske these lm-
nrovements without spending some
money to mske them. It Is alao lm
Dosalble for us to have a city that
will be a credit to ourse'ves, without
good water, good fire protection, good
streets, sood sewer and sanitary condi
tions. People are -entitled -to-all of
these. These things cannot be brought
about In a day or a week, and they
are going to cost some money. There
Is no doubt but what Oregon City Is
starting a development that means
everything to Its future; we are be
ginning an up-Hft, and are going to
push ahead. Eugene, Medford and
nearly all cltlea in the Willamette
Valley are moving forward very rap
Idly along the llnea or Improvement
aa above Indicated, and U we expect
to compete with these cltlea aa a de-
alrable place to mauce bobimctkh
to come and Invest their money and
live, we have got to go ahead along
these lines. Believing mai inn
wise policy to adopt and for ua aa a
community to work ror. I think the
first thing that we should do. Is to
consider this problem of calling a apo
dal election at the proepr time, under
an act Introduced by Senator Dlmlck,
and passed by the Legislature relative
to changing the boundary of cltlea and
towne heretofore Incorporated, which
Is a curative act of the original act
now upon the atatute booka. permit
ting the annexation of additional ter
ritory to a city, and let the line run
a few feet aouth of the bridge across
tbe Willamette RWr at Oregon City,
to the west side, and then extending
north to and Including Bolton, and
then In a southwesterly direction to
and Including Sunset City and the
mills and P. Ry. L ft P. Co- plant,
crossing the river and Including Ca
nemah. By doing this. If the people
of the West Side who have a vote on
the question, would favor it. It would
result In Ktt them Rood "ewers,
sanitary conditions, police. tw"d

"I cannot aee why It would be any
Injustice to the large mills on the

t a. x rnmmnt. to be Inside ot the
city limits of Oregon City, and con
tribute their portion towards lmpfo
menta of atreeta on the West Side aa

SMITH !S CHALLENGED
BY WRESTLER ARNDT
PORTLAND WRESTLER WOULD
LIKE TO FINISH UP MATCH
WITH LOCAL 8 PORT.
Auk Smith, the. local wrestler who
claims the championship in Clackamas
county, was yesterday challenged by
Walter Arndt, of Portland, the teach
er of athletes In the Catholic Young
Men's Club, to a match. Arndt agrees
to throw Smith twice within an hour.
He offers to post a side bet of $50 or
more; strangle hold to be barred. Date
and place to be left to the choice ot
Smith.
This Is the same man who came
from Portland to wrestle Smith Frldsy
night when Bnsukos failed to show up.
The match waa an Interesting one up
to the time Smith met with his ac
cident. This time Arndt wanta to be
prepared for a hard fight and not be
called on to wrestle without any pre
paration. Arndt agrees to wrestle at
145 pounds and Smith at 138.
Arndt haa wrestled Peter Busukos,
Eddie Connors, Kid Davis, Gene West,
Prof. Elv. of Redding. Cal.. and Jdllton
Harding, throwing them; he had
wrjstled Strangler 8mlth to a draw.
If Smith decldee to take Arndt 6n'for

should prove Interesting.

TRAP MONSTER LYIOC
CUCM HEIGHTS
THE ANIMAL HAS BEEN A FRE

POULTRY YARDS.
E. Hope and Andrew Flaherty of
Clackamas Highlands, who are neigh
bors, trapped a monater lynx, which
measures five feet In ' length,, and
weighs 115 pounds, a few days ago.
Tbe animal haa been-visiting the poul
try yard of Mr. Hope for many nights.,
selecting the choicest of poultry, some
of the victims being prize winners and
valued at $10 apiece. The animal has
been entering tbe poultry yard by
Jumping over a five-foot fence, and
opening the door carried away tbe
prize chlckena.
Two trapa were ae and these two
traps were the means of catching the
intruder. Mr. Flaherty was up early
that morning, and as be came bear
the animal, the latter showed fight, one
of his paws being loose he tried in
vein to use this In fighting off Mr.
Flaherty. The latter gave the alarm,
