BUTTER GOES' UP
Local Creameries Raise Price
to 35 Cents a Pound."
SOME DEALERS PROTEST
Advance Is Not Popular . With All
the Trade, but Poor Consumer
Is Helpless When Boost
Is Once Slade.
The advance in the wholesale price of
city-made butter to 35 cents does not meet
with the approval of all the local cream
ery men, some of whom Insist that
present conditions do not justify the
higher . price. experience has Shawn,
however, that when one of the city
creameries advances its quotation and is
able to maintain it. the others must
necesearily fall Into line sooner or later.
As there is always much competition to
secure cream tne buttermaker that pays
the highest price of course gets it. This
forces all the creamery men to pay for
their butter fat on the basis of the
highest price paid for butter. If they ara
willing to sell the manufactured article
for less than the raw material costs them
that is their privilege, but few of them
care to keep up such a course very long.
Therefore, the highest price quoted on
butter in The Oregonlan sets the pace
for all the creameries in this section of
the country so far as their cream pur
chases are concerned.
Price Is Shoved Vp.
According to the announcement made by
the Hazelwood Company In this paper
yesterday morning, its price list on top
grade butter was advanced 2V4 cents per
pound to 35 cents yesterday. M. Mor
tensen, manager of the company, main
tains that they were justified in taking
such a step In view of the known short
age of the butter supply in the East and
the fact that the cream supply In the
Northwest Is falling off, while the demand
for butter, both for local consumption
and shipment to the Far North continues
unabated.
T. S. Townsend. of the Townsend
Creamery Company, does not take this
view of the case. He says that while
the production In the East is less than
normal. It is due to the lateness of the
season and that the deficiency may be
made up in the Fall, when the rainfall in
creases, as has often been the case. He
does not believe that there Is any danger
of butter going to the dollar mark.
Fred Knecht, of the Oregon Creamery,
also believes the move to have been 111
advlsed. "This rise," he said, "has made the Port
land market the highest In the United
States. We are 10 cents above Chicago
and & cents above San Francisco and Seat
tle. Even Los Angeles, noted as one of
the most expensive markets in the
country, sells its butter cheaper than
Portland. This high price will flood the
market with Eastern butter."
Says Kalse Was Inevitable.
The Damascus Creamery, like the Hazel
wood, believed the time was ripe for a
lift In prices and also put out a 35
cent quotation yesterday. Its manager
said supplies were running light and
cream was becoming scarcer every day,
while the trade made no objection to the
higher price.
The average consumer while objecting
to paying any more for his butter will.
In the end, of course, pay what bis
groceryman demands, but the big pur
chasers, the hotels, restaurants and
boarding-house keepers will start out on
a still hunt for butter made In the East
or anywhere else that can be had at a
cheaper price. The man in the country
who owns the cows will hall the advance
with di'tght and hope that another will
Boon follow.
WILL CURB AUTO MAN I ACS
Councilman Baker to Submit His
Ordinance Regulating Speed.
The regulation of automobiles will be
again before the Council for discussion
tomorrow in the form of an ordinance
that has been prepared by Councilman
Baker. The measure is aimed not .only
to limit the speed of automobiles on the
city streets but also to allow only com
petent drivers to operate them and to
provide other safeguards. It is probable
that the ordinance will not be finally
acted on tomorrow but submitted to a
committee or passed to the third reading.
The ordinance provides that automobiles
shall not exceed eight miles an hour when
traveling on a straight course and shall
slow down to four miles an hour when
rounding corners. In addition to this,
drivers must stop their machines when
approaching streetcars which passengers
are taking or leaving. It is provided also
that a board of examiners consisting of
the City Engineer and City Physician
shall pass upon the fitness of all drivers
before they are granted a license, which
Is to cost J3.

Places of Amusement Will Have to
Attract Patronage by Some
Other Means.
Proprietors of moving picture exhi
bitions and other places of amusement
must 'do away with phonographs, electric
pianos and other alleged musical devices
or forfeit their llcensesj. This is the decision-
of the license committee of the
Council, reached at a meeting yester
day afternoon. Complaint was made that
these mechanical players, several of
which are operated outside of show
places on principal streets, are a nui
sance, and the committee decided that It
would order them removed temporarily
and later pass an ordinance covering the
matter.
The protest against the operation of
these Instruments was directed chiefly
at a moving picture exhibition in the
Gearin building at Thirteenth and Wash
ington. This place has an electric piano
that is said to entertain or disturb resi
dents for blocks around, as the case may
be. There are a number of first-class
family hotels In the neighborhood and
the boarders constituted themselves a
voluntary "Society for the Prevention of
Unnecessary Noises" and were repre
sented yesterday before the license com
mittee. They said that the incessant
music had ceased to have a charm and
that If It was not stilled the boarders
threatened to desert en masse and the
proprietors would be ruined.
Members of the committee added their
personal testimony as to the unpleasant
ness of these noisesSand Instructed the
license officials to notify the owners to
remove the players at once. If the or
der is not obeyed, the Council will revoke
any license it sees fit and put these places
out of business at its meeting Wednes
day. In the meantime Deputy City At
torney Fitzgerald will draft an ordi
nance covering the order. Either the
players will be declared a nuisance or
they will be licensed so heavily as to
be practically prohibited.
The license committee does not de
sire to suppress the playing of any kind
of instruments in connection with the
entertainments given, but simply those
that are on the outside of the buildings
or so near the doors as to be plainly
heard in the street. It was also recog
nized that in some neighborhoods the in-'
struments might be less undesirable than
in others. In the final order this phase
of the sitaution will be considered.
ST. JOHNS WILL HAVE GAS
Three Franchises Are Sow Before
the Council for Consideration.
Consideration of gas franchises will be
made a special order at the meeting of
the St. Johns Council tonight. Mayor
Couch is anxious that the Council dispose
of the three franchises which have been
pending for several months. The James
Steel franchise was first submlttd to the
Council last May. L. F. Purse submit
ted another later and 8. D. Davidorf put
in his application last month. There has
been a rumor to the effect that one of
the three franchises will be withdrawn,
but which one is not announced. A
strong effort will be made to take definite
action at the meeting tonight. Repre
sentatives of the Davidorf franchise say
they are ready to spend $35,000 in erect
ing a plant and the Purse people also an
nounce that they are ready to Invest
whatever is needed to establish a first
class plant, so that the outlook Is favor
able for a gas plant for St. Johns.
It is expected also that the city hall bills
will be subject for consideration. It was
hoped to settle these bills through a
suit in the court by assigning all the
claims to one creditor, but It is announced
that objection to this has come up. Also
the administrator of the estate of the
late City Engineer, Captain. W. W. God
rich, has notified the city officials that
the city must settle the claim the estate
holds or suit will be started.

DEAR BEEF TRUST:
We . haven't seen tale or tid
ings of the book. Can it be
that you, a department of Government
inspection as you call yourself, are
trying to run a flim-flam game on the
public? Can it be you are securing; 2c
stamps under false pretenses? . If you
don't send that book pretty quick, we'll
explain to Uncle Sam how you are
trying to bunco the public out of
stamps. Smith's as good as his word.
You know how some of your pseudo
friends Jolly you and threaten to send
Smith after you. That makes your
mile come off.
Rather than hunt vp candidates for
charity and endeavor to feed them your
meat, we suggest that you multiply
your $175 a hundred times and hand
It around to the retail butchers of
Portland, men who stood by you so
nobly when you asked them to boycott
Smith men who are now reaping the
harvest of their folly. You are charg
ing these fellows more for their meat
than Smith Is asking the public, and
they are going down like dead soldiers
under fire they can't stand up against
it. Your Nemesis; as ever.
