II. S. 6 h rock, secretary of the asso
ciation. In submitting; his annual re
port, took a slap at Governor West,
whom he charged with -political In
trigue" when the executive vetoed the
livestock sanitary law enacted at the
last session of the Legislature.
"This measuro was of the very great
est Importance to the dairy Interests
of the state and we folt that Governor
West made a serious mistake when
h disapproved It." said Mr. Bhrock.
-We must re-new our efforts -next year
for the re-enactment of this and other
needed measure of- legislation."
Sssall MesBkerabl Deplored.
Mr. Ehrock deplored the fact that
although there are approximately 1S.
000 dairymen in the state, the member
ship of th association was only 70 and
of that number only SI wera actively
enraged In the dairy business. The re
tiring; secretary told of having; last
year established In connection with
his work a dairymen's labor bureau,
by means of which considerable assist
ance had been afforded In finding; em
ployes. The association decided to
maintain the bureau. It was voted to
place the bureau In chars; of the sec
retary, whose salary was Increased
from t0 to flOO annually. A charge
of fl la to be paid by every dairyman
who applies to tha bureau and is sup
plied with a laborer from that source.
J. C Brown, of Shedd. and II E. Judd,
deputy dairy commissioner, ' discussed
-Co-operative Marketing of Milk and
Cream." Mr. Judd argued that the
farmer should not make It his sole
object to get the highest possible
price for his product and ahould be sat
isfied with obtaining- only what the
market Justified. Both speakers em
phasised the need of eo-operatlon on
the part of .farmers If their best inter
ests were to b served and promoted.
Yearly Shew Faverea.
Professor F. Lb Kent, of Corvallls,
advocated a Pacific Northwest dairy
how to bo held next year. The enter
prise was Indorsed and the following
committee was named to co-operate
with other organisations to the end
that such an exhibition is arranged:
William Schulmerich, John B. Stump,
Thomas CarmichaeL barry West and
E. L. Thompson.
Mrs. Annie L Hughes, of Clackamas
County, told how by applying practical
methods she had Increaaed the annual
sale of cream from 141 to $101 a cow.
From a herd of eight cows In 1905. Mra
Hughe sold an average of 170 pounds
of butter fat a cow, netting 142.40 a
cow. For the year ending October,
this year, 11 cows produced an average
of 210.1 pounds of butter fat, which
sold for 191. i cow. The net revenue
from the herd for the year was $1111 11.
L. E. Warner, of YoneaUa. Douglas
County, related a similar experience,
increasing the production of butter fat
in his herd from 110 to 1S2 pounds a
cow in six years.
Expert Praise Ea tries.
John Sollle, of Albert Lea, Minn.,
who Judged the dairy exhibit, compli
mented the exhibitors and told them
that some of the butter exhibited was
the finest dairy product h had aver
seen. He urged butter-makers to at
tend the short course that Is conducted
at the State Agricultural College an
nually, saying the instruction to be ob
tained at these courses Is Invaluable to
the dairyman If he would improve the
quality of his product and at the same
time increase his earnings.
The dairymen were welcomed to
Portland by O. F. Johnson, on behalf
of the Commercial Club. To this ad
dress Carle A b rams, president of the
association, responded and read his
annual address. The candidacy of I.
O. Lively for livestock commissioner
of the Panama-Pacific Exposition was
indorsed. Speaking to the dairymen,
Mr. Lively gave the assurance that he
always could be dependel upon to do
everything within his power to help
them.
Following the election of officers for
the ensuing year. the association
adopted the Invitation of the Albany
Commercial Club and will hold its next
meeting In the Linn County metropolis.
The date ot the meeting will be fixed
by the executive committee.

BT ADDISON BENNETT.
Th Stat Dairymen' Association as
sembled In the Woodmen of the World
Hall, on Eleventh street, yesterday, as
sort or finale of the butter and
cheese men's meet, and the meeting
will continue throughout today.
Everybody will understand that
there must be Intimate relations be
tween the butter and cheese makers
and the dairymen, for the dairy cow is
t the foundation of such industries.
The membership of the two associa
tions Is largely made up of the same
persona all working together for the
good of the dairy business in the state.
The attendance yesterday was much
better than at the butter and cheese-
makers meeting, consequently the in
terest seemed to be deeper. The speak
ers were listened to with marked at
tention, and after each address was
made tr paper read there was a run
ning fire of 1 comment, criticism and
questioning. Such proceedings augur
well for the association, showing that
the members are in real earnest in
their work, and resolved to get the
greatest benefit from the gathering.
Cow Display Proposed.
On of the subjects brought up was
the question of holding a dairy show
next year at the Union Stockyards, D.
O. Lively offering the association every
facility there available, without any
charge. This offer was looked upon
favorably by the members, and more
than likely we will have such a show
next Fall. If we do, we ought to have
as fine a display of dairy stock, dairy
product and dairy machinery and
equipment a was ever placed on ex
hibition in the West.
Oregon has the cows to make almost
an Incomparable display. It Is a tru
ism that we have some of the finest
thoroughbred Holsteln and Jersey
cows, calves and bulls that there are In
the United States, and we ought to be
able to get the dairymen interested to
such an extent as to have a splendid
show. As to the machinery," equip
ments and accessories the dealers
would fall over themselves in getting
up a magnificent showing. There
ought to be no trouble In raising the
money to give prises worth competing
for.
On fact brought out at the meeting
yesterday was th shortage of dairy
cows in the state. If one wants to .go
into the business at present. It is pret
ty difficult to buy good stock at rea
sonable prices. If some way could be
devised to supply even th demand now
prevalent, a big Impetus would be giv
en the dairy industry. The deplorable
part of the story Is that this shortage
has been shown for a number of years,
which account in a great meaaure for
th fact that th present number of
dairy cows in Oregon, estimated by the
best authorities at 175,000. Is practical
ly the same a It waa three or four
years ago.
Perhaps this state of affairs can in
a measure be accounted for by the
furore that was recently created by
the war made upon cows afflicted with
tuberculosis. and the wholesale
slaughter of such annlmala. This
worked a great hardship on a good
many worthy people, who had but a
faint idea of the disease In their herd
until an inspector came along and
slaughtered them. It Is. said that the
loss to these owners was over 135,000,
and not a cent was paid to them.
In other states the taxpayers at
large reimburse such unfortunates, and
at-the last session of the Legislature
a bill waa paased for the payment of a
moderate sum for every animal killed.
Governor West vetoed this bill, giving
as his reason, I sm Informed, that "the
matter can wait for a couple of years."
The dairymen at the next session of
the Legislature expect to make a united
effort to have such a bill again passed,
and also get three or four deputies to
the State Food and Dairy Commissioner
whose sole duties will be to Inspect
the dairies regularly. and not only

the deputies, leaving the dairy inspec
tion very lnrrequent.
Oleo Is Bnffeted.
Aa to the ultimate outcome of the
crusade against diseased stock there
can be no question but that It will re
dound to h betterment of tho busi
ness; but the losses ought to be more
evenly distributed. At least that is the
consensus of opinion among tbos moa.
interested.
Old "Oh Marley Oerene," usually
called oeomargarlne, oftener hortened
to oleo. came In yesterday for knock
down blows from th members. They
have no objection to the making or
sale of this article but they want It to
all under Ha proper colors, the same
aa butter does. If It la -ood. or. as
some aay, better than butter, then why
color ltT The coloring surely doea not
improve Its quality in any way what
ever. It is given the appearance of
butter simply to fool the people, as it
often doea The dairymen are going to
see if oleo cannot be made to atand
on ta own record In Oregon.
One of the speakers yesterday said
that we have more than 12.000.000 un
productive cows now in thla country
cowa that do not produce milk enough
to pay their board and lodging. And
the deplorable part of thla is that far
too many of this number are owned In
Oregon. Lota of them do not earn for
their owners over S3 or 4 a month,
whereas our best atock paya aa much
as $140 a year.
It is to remedy these faults of the
dairymen that the association Is work
ing In season and out of season; and
meetings like that now In session will
have nruch to do in educating the own
ers of dairy sto'ek. Of all the producers
the dairyman should be the greatest
reader, the greatest student. Two or
three good dairy papers and a few
standard books will repay the dairy
man tenfold every year. Hoards
DaJryman, recognized the world over
as authority In the dairy business,
should be taken and studied regularly,
and some of our state papers are of
great help. There Is no other teach
ing so readily understood, so easily as
similated, as the teaching about th
care of the cow. That 1 why the
"oook dairymen" get to the front, and
leave the Illiterates in the rear.
One speaker yesterday asked a series
of questions of a large number of
dairymen in Clackamas County, one of
which was. "What dairy papers do you
read?" One of the answers was, "The
Appeal ' to Reason:". Strange to aay.
that dairyman Is not making much
progress in the business!
Another speaker, a young man who
was laughed at a few years ago when
he embarked In the business, and was
dubbed by hi neighbors "The green
horn schoolboy farmer of Aumsvllle,"
gave great credit to the Oregon Agri
cultural College for his success. He
has taken two short Winter courses
at that institution, and he says It wss
the making of him. Many others said
that every owner of half a dozen cowa
In tha state should take at least one
bourse at the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege. And thjs regardless of age. for
one of those who spoke hss hair whit
ened by many Winters. He said the
money the course cost was a paying
Investment.
We all know Oregon Is a splendid
state for pursuing the dairy business.
Every dairyman In the United States
who knows anything about conditions
awsy from home admits that at some
future day this state will be the largest
producer of dairy products in the coun
try. It is bound to be if we only half
way take advantage of our unequaled
conditions.
LIQUOR TAX $10

PROBABLE
Committee Advocates Increas
ing License From $800 to
Shut Out Low Places.
SALES TO GIRLS OPPOSED
Rise to Be Effective Next Year If
Council Passes It as Many Have
Paid In Advance Montaj
la Only - Opponent.
The annual retail liquor license in
Portland will be increased from $800 to
$1000 if the vote of the liquor license
committee of the City Council yesterday
la upheld by the Council. The com
mittee, after hearing arguments, de
cided yesterday that the fee of $800 a
year Is insufficient and allows too many
poorly conducted saloons in the city,
particularly In the outlying districts.
A vote was taken and the proposed In
crease was carried by 3 to 1. Council
man Montag being the only member of
the committee opposed to the Increase.
The new rate could not be applied to
the first half of 1912, because the li
censes are due December 1 of this year
and the City Auditor now has about
$40,000 in certified checks from saloons
covering licenses at the $800 rate. The
committee will meet next Thursday
morning to consider applications for li
censes for the first half of next year.
The committee - adopted a measure
prohibiting girls under 21 years of age
from entering public dining-rooms
where liquor is sold unless accompanied
by a parent or husband. The measure
has been up for consideration for more
than a month, objection having been
made to parts of the original bill,
which, it was thought, could be con
strued to prohibit girls from drinking
at home or in hotel dining-rooms if ac
companied by their parents.
The measure as adopted provides that
a girl under 21 years can only go into
a public dining-room where liquor Is
served when accompanied by one or
both parents or by her husband. The
ordinance is aimed at the lower-class
restaurants and grillrooms, where girls
under 21 years of age are attracted.
PUBLIC MARKETS LEGAL
City Attorney Holds That City I
Empowered to Establish Them.
The City Council has the power to
establish publlo markets . within the
city and has a means of raising the
'necessry money for their estbllshment
and maintenance, declares City At
torney Grant in a written opinion sent
yesterday to the Council' special pub
lic market committee.
Attorney Grant says the Legislature
in 103 delegated power to the Council
to establish market places and pro
vided that money required could be
taken from the city's general fund.
Inasmuch aa the general fund la ex
hausted.' Attorney Grant says the mar
ket may be established by the people
amending the charter and authorizing
a bond issue. At the same time a chart
er amendment providing for a tax levy
for the raising of money for mainte
nance of the market Is considered ad
visable by Attorney Grant.
The market committee will meet
Monday to 'consider the market plans
in detail and will hear reports from a
number of associations and clubs re
garding the advlsabtllty of the plan
suggested by C E. S. Wood for co
operative stores owned by the public.

Attractive Laurelhurst Home
If you have not visited LAURELHURST, with its hundreds of magnificent
new homes, its miles upon miles of splendidly lighted, hard-surfaced streets its
30-acre private park, but more attractive than aU e nle of the
surrounding country commanded by every building site m the entire tract-you
are missing the real show place of Portland. . You are missing what in a very
few years will be a, place as famous for beautiful homes as Euclid avenue in
Cleveland, Ohio, or Woodward avenue in Detroit, Mich., are now.
LAURELHURST was designed to meet the requirements and suit the taste
of Deonle who want pretty homes, and who" demand a beautiful and inspiring
LttTngPanIenvTronment for their'homes. LAURELHURST is not a mere real
estate tract, dotted here and there with a few "man-made" beauty spots,
be used as advertising talking points, but a place to build homes where Nature's
deft fingers have wrought her masterpiece and where the skill, the cunning of
the landscape architect is seen at its best.
Laurelhurst possesses an individuality all its own. There is nothing else like
it in Portland. Nearly $2,000,000 has been expended in making . Laurelhurst
superior in many ways to every other residence district in the city.
We have helped 50 people build their homes in Laurelhurst this year, and we
will help you do the same thing. If you come to our office and talk it over with
us we will tell you how you can become a home-owner m Laurelhurst with no
mire cash than you pay every year for the rent of the six or seven-room cottage
that you now live in.
The opportunity to get a home in Laurelhurst on such favorable terms will
not be open much longer.
Don't forget that the choicest locations in Laurelhurst are going fast. We
have sold nearly 125 lots since October 1. If you are interested in Laurelhurst,
you can't afford to delay much longer the selection of your future home-site. .
