SAY IT IS NOT A TRUST Hut It W ill Cost 40 Per Cent More to Koop Cool This Summer The' Iflpher Cost or Production Is I lie Kxouse for the liaise. Portland ptoplc may keep cool this siimmor. but it - will be an expensive luxury. The ice they xi?e .will cost them just i per crnt more than it did last year. The reason for all this is the formation of an ice combine, which has tixed prices for which its product will be sold. Housekeepers who last year paid 00 cents a hundred pounds for ice will this year be required to pay TO cents, while the price to saloon and restaurant men and other large consumers will be 40. cents a hundred, instead of 35, as last Summer. The new- rates go Into effect thts morning. This advance in the price of Ice may be traced to an arrangement that has been effected by the three Ice-producing plants of this citywlth the Ice Delivery Company. The companies Interested ace .tbe Crystal Ice & Storage Company, Portland Artificial Ice Company and the Independent Coal & Ice Company. 'The ice manufacturers of Portland have- not formed a trust," said O. M. Rankin, . manager of the Independent Coal & Ice Company, yesterday. "We have merely established a collecting and distributing agency for the more econom ical delivery" of ice throughout the city. It costs more to manufacture ice now than it once did, and delivery has become one of the principal expenses. Instead of each company maintaining its own de livery system, the ice from all three plants will now be distributed through this Ice Delivery Company. The slight advance in prices has nothing to do with this arrangement. The rates last Sum mer were decidedly low, and the prices we have announced for the coming sea son are no higher than have been paid in Portland in former years. They are justified by the increase in the cost of mann f acturing." The combined output of the three ice plants in this city is 175 tons daily. The supply is entirely adequate for the needs of the city, and last year dealers ship ped 40 tons daily to relieve the Ice fam ine at Seattle. There is no danger of any shortage in the supply this season, allowing for large shipments to outside points, since the plants now have on hand storage reservations." which have accumulated during the Winter months, amounting to more than 10.000 tons. Dur ing the Winter the uniform price of 23 cents a hundred was maintained for ail consumers. Thp consumption of ice in the Winter in this city does not exceed 40 tons a day for all purposes.

Says She Was Engaged to Hotel Por ter and Allowed Hlin to Bank Her Savings. A bitter contest is on between Ben Pratt, father of the late Ben Pratt, Jr.. colored, and Btta Montgomery, a white woman, who declares that for five years she was encased to marry the younger Pratt, who was employed as a porter at the Hotel Portland until his death, Jan uary 26. She says they were to have been married in February. In a complaint filed in the County Court she sets forth that she is entitled to J1500 out of- about 4C00.. on deposit in local banks in the name of the dead man. She swears that for five years whe save all her savings to him. She also says she thought he was banking the money in her name. Five lawyers are . encaged' in the con test, which comes up next Saturday morning before County Judge Webster. Kdward V. Rutherford is administrator of the estate. He Is represented by At torney McCants Stewart. The father, Ben Pratt, who lives at Sumpter. S. C, was originally represented by ex-United States Senator John M. Gearin. but now he is also represented by W A. Andrews, colored, a lawyer of his home town. The latter reached Portland Monday night and is engaged in looking into the case, preparatory to the hearing Saturday. Miss Montgomery Is represented by Mc Mahon & McDevitt. Lawyer Stewart says that Miss Mont gomery Is entitled to her money, and says he believes she tells nothing but the truth. Ben Pratt was a popular porter at the Hotel Portland. He worked there for many years and was a favorite of all the older patrons of the house. His death was so sudden that it caused a per sistent rumor of foul play, which was thoroughly investigated by the police. It was determined by an autopsy that he died from acute alcoholism. While the case was in the hands of the authorities. Miss Montgomery was taken to police headquarters, where she was subjected to a searching cross-examination by de tectives. Miss Montgomery declared at the time that she had been engaged to marry Pratt. It was the fact that she was In his room when he died that caused sus picion to attach to her at first. She was astonished, she swears, to ascertain, upon investigation, that Pratt had de posited her savings in his own name, and that her only recourse was to make her claim through the County Court. ART TREASURES ON SHOW Splendid Exhibit of Paintings, An tiques and Jewels. BY NANCY LEE. A distinct epoch in the history of Portland's movement toward a better appreciation of art and its related in terests is marked by the Arts and Crafts exhibit which opened at the Museum of Art yesterday. The in terest that is manifested in the affairs is most reassuring to those who have devoted their efforts to it. Yesterday's attendance wars large and representa tive and the showing of 'antiques and art treasures was such, that those who attended were amazed and delighted that so creditable an exhibit could be arranged in so brief a time and with so little furore. Few cities in the coun try could boast a finer showing, and every Portlander should feel gratified. The exhibit will continue for several days and It is hoped by those who have been active in arranging It that as many as possible will take advantage of this opportunity to study the vari ous branches of arts and crafts rep resented. It is eminently an educa tional event which should prove of lasting benefit to the community and contribute toward elevating the stand ard of the city's culture. Through the efforts of Mrs. Hugh Hume an ex hibition of painting by American ar tists Is also on display. Mrs. Hume is a sister of George de Forrest Brush, who has but one picture on exhibition, but characteristic of his work, it is marked by refinement and distinction of drawing. He has termed It "Cross ing the Plains," and it is artistically atmospheric, the sky being of an un usually deep azure that lends a strik ing background for the majestically silent figure of the Indian chief. The exhibition is to be thrown open for a fornight and will be of special interest to all lovers of the picturesque. Apropos of art. two artists of note, who are at present visiting here, are Miss Lillie V. O'Ryan, the originator of the Janice Merldlth, and Putnam the sculptor. - . Kellaher Rally in Alisky Hall.
