PHONE INQUIRY DUE Government Shifts Scene of Action to Portland. SPECIAL ATTORNEY COMES Constantino J. Srnythe, of Omaha, b., Assistant to the Attorney General, - to Investigate Com plaints of Independents. Whatever sins of oppression and re straint and devious business methods the telephone men of the Pacific Coast may have committed in their effort to increase their wealth and prestige will be gone Into relentlessly by Special Assistant Attorney-General Constantlne J. Smythe. of Omaha, Neb., who has come at the Instance of Attorney-General McReynolds to learn what truth there is in the complaints of the "Inde pendents." Mr. Smythe Is a wiry man with sIW ver-gray hair, worn long, and with a mustache nearly white. He was Attorney-General of his home state dur ing one Democratic administration, and has frequently been called upon to assist in Government and state prose cutions. After his arrival In Portland yester day. Mr. Smythe conferred With United States Attorney Johnson, ex-United States Attorney John McCourt. Klcnara W. Montague and Juy Bowerman. Cyrluae Freaks Related. Mr. Smythe was In Omaha at the time of the recent cyclone, but his house escaped the storm with little damage besides broken windows and sbatered tiles. The horror or me ais aster, which cost so many lives, was appreciated by him the more strongly, he says, because he came so near being one of the possible victims. "Omaha Is rallying nobly from me blow," said Mr. Smythe, "though, as a mattter of fact, the cyclone really damaged business not at all, the cloud passing through the residence section exclusively. Both city and county are loaning money at low rates to the suf ferers, and I am glad to say most of them are gradually getting DacK meir nerve and see their way to prosperity again." Many freaks of the storm passed De fore Mr. Sniythe's observation. One was the transporting of all the furniture of a dining-room of a residence through the front windows and around the house to the rear, wher It was depos ited, right side up, undamaged. An other, which resulted fatally, was the piercing of a man's vitals by tlrry pieces of wood, like toothpicks, the splinters passing through nis ciotning and skin. Providence Seems to Reign. "It seemed to me as If the hand of Providence protected some people," said Mr. Bmythe. "In several homes I know of. all the rooms were demolished ex cept those in which persons lay sick. I have a half-theory that the suction of the wind Is affected by the presence of human beings In rooms maybe that will not hold, but it was remarkable how persons crowded for safety In cer tain rooms escaped." Mr. Smythe said he has hardly begun his investigation of the telephone situa tion. Ho would not discuss his plans, bevond saying there had been much complaint on the part of competitors of the Pacific States Telephone Jom apny in regard to methods. While his Investigations will be ' Independent of the Federal attorneys here, he expects them to co-operate with him. and he will employ the secret service agents to secure such data as he requires. GATTLE PRICES DECLINE GRASS-FED STOCK COMING FOR WARD 3IORE RAPIDLY. Marketing of Sheep, Delayed by Backward Spring, Is Xow Run ning In Fall Swing. Cattle prices are undergoing a gradual decline in the local market, as is shown by the sales at the yards this week. There has been no slump, however, and none is expected. Grass cattle are coming forward more plenti fully and, of course, do not command the high prices at which fed stock recently sold. This was shown by the sale of a load of California grass steers at the North Portland yards yesterday at J8.25. Last week strictly prime fed steers were bought by packers at 89. On this same quality, the market now is only off 25 cents. Buyers are naturally anxious to get prices down, but the claim made yes terday by a local paper that values had slumped 75 cents In 24 hours was UPERI0R ERVICE in LIFE INSURANCE IN a life insurance contract su perior service is worth more than all other considerations combined. SUPERIOR service means serv ing" the policyholders best on every occasion, but especially paying more promptly than any other company when a death claim needs to be paid, without subjecting the beneficiary to weeks of waiting, as they neces sarily must be when dealing with other companies. DrCgOnTjfC furnishes the people of Oregon a service superior to tnai of any other company. First : be cause the Home Office is in this state where all of our policyhold ers reside, placing us in a position to furnish superior service in every department, and, second: because promptness is the key stone of this company.

Eleven carloads, containing 1650 head, were received at the yards yesterday. Nearly all of these were from Willamette Valley points. Mon day's run amounted to 1040 head. Sheep and Iamb prices are also declining, but not very fast. Local arrivals of hogs are still well within needs of packers and but'ehers and prices do not show marked changes.

In these same six years, 16,400 new homes have been built, provid ing homes for 87,000 people, 12.956 of these homes, costing under 62500, have been built on lots costing under 6700, 3444 homes that cost over $2500 have been built on lots val ued at over S700. If four months' building record continues, over 3000 homes will be built in Port land in 1913, which means that over 2300 vacant lots, valued under. $700, will be taken up.
