'MIDDLEMAN'S END IS SEEN VT. F. Woodward Predicts General Out in Patented Articles, Par tially for Purpose of Attracting Trade for Other Wares. As a result of the recent decision by the United States Supreme Court de claring Illegal all price-fixing contracts betwoen manufacturers and jobbers or retailers, a general reduction In the prloe of all patented articles is ex pected, thus solving:, in a measure, the hlgh-cost-of-living problem. Several retail mercnants in Portland already have started to cut the prices on safety razors, automobile acces sories, breakfast foods and other com modities that heretofore have been sold at a standard price. Great reductions are expected in phonographs, phonograph records, pat ented toilet articles, typewriters, cer tain kluda of athletic gcods, corsets, suspenders, supporters, shirts, collars and clothing upon which the trade marks are registered, kodaks ar.d ac cessories, farm machinery and numer ous other supplies Including almost tho entire category of saleable goods which aro sold under patent restric tions. W. F. Woodward, a leading merchant Portland, thinks this court decision an epoch-making one. Ho declares it Is another step in the gradual but certain movement to eliminate the middleman from business. He thinks that hereafter trade will be conduced between the manufacturer and the re tailer direct. Direct Trade Predicted. Borne dealers In Portland believe this decision will drive certain retailers out of business, too, and that the man ufacturers, in order to get a 'Axed price for their products, will sell di rect to the consumer. "There "is no commodity governed by human activity or by inventive genius that Is not affected by this de cision," said Mr. Woodward yesterday. "Heretofore the manufacturers, arbi trarily, have fixed the retail price of their products and woe Dvtlde the dealer who would cut under it. "Now these contracts between manu facturer and retailer are absolutely "void. Take such well-known articles as kodaks, for Instance. While the dealers itave contrar' z specifying that they must be sold at 25. for instance, there Is nothing now that can prevent the dealers from selling them for 25 cents. "Talking machines, also, come under this head. Heretofore the prices on talkin machines have been fixed by the manufacturers. The price uni versally was the same for the same rrade of machine. Retailers now can cut the price as low as they want to and the manufacturers can't stop them. Public Benefit Seen. "Bvcry line of trade will be pro foundly affected. I think the consum ing public will reap substantial ben efit. "Results already are apparent right here in Portland. One store ' on the day tollowing this decision advertised safety razors that always sold at $5 for J3.89. It is probable that other stores will be forced to make similar reductions. "There will be a wonderful induce ment for dealers now to advertise those patented articles at cut rates. There will be two reasons for this: One will he to get people to purchase a substitute article at a lower price, perhaps upon which they make a big er percentage of profit, and the other will be to attract people into their stores so that they can sell hem other toods. Both these practices are com monly resorted to by merchants. "The final result will be that the manufacturers will try to deal with the retailers under so-called "gentle men's agreements,' bv which they will aim to keep the prices at a certain standard. Savins; lay He KltVeted. "Kvery such decision, revolutionary In its character as this one is, tends to bring the manufacturer closer to the consumer and to reduce the price of manufactured articles. "By eliminating tho jobber tho man ufacturer will have to consider only the cost of manufacturing and adver ting. Hence, he will be able to sell lor less money. So. even if the prices are fixed under these 'gentlemen's agreements.' it is reasonable to expect that the prices will be considerably lower. iMri "vyH3war1 does not think that the decision will discourage inventors, for the reason that the competition for patented articles win be keener and manufacturers will probably b willing to pay a higher premium fo salable Inventions. AUCTION SALES ARE VARIED Kverj-thlng From Jewelry to Stocks Sold at Independence. , lN'r,ENrE.-CK. Or.. June 2. (Spe cial.) The second monthly sales day was held here yesterday and Professor Thomas Shaw, agricultural expert of the Hill lines, addressed the farmers warning them of the danger of glutting t.ie market if they centered all of their efforts on raising one thing. He also tried to show where more money could be made bv feeding their grain and hay to livestock than by put ting it on the market. He spoke es pecially of the fine poultrv. beef and dairy prospects of this community, mentioning the local creamery, which Is the largest in the state. Air. Shaw and the party with him were entertained by the business men at a luncheon at the Beaver Hotel and were then taken to Salem In automo biles. At a meeting of the farmers a com mittee was appointed to organize a permanent farmers' union. An old fashioned auction sale was held where anyone could offer anything to be sold, and everything was bought and sold from Jewelry to llvestocK. Independence Schools Close. INDEPKNDENCE. Or..

SOME OF ACTS VTEWED Familiar Faces Remind Visitor of Returned Friend. GREAT GROWTH IS NOTED From Baby Elephants and Tiger Cubs to Number of Horses and Performers, Kvidence of Ex pansion Seen Everywhere. One recognizes scores of familiar faces and forms in the Sells-Kioto cir cus, which opened its three-days' run here yesterday, and, looking at the friends of last year both among the animals and the performers, the first impulse as the visitor adjusts himself to the "flip-flap" back of his seat If lie has secured a seat In that favored section is to wave a hand at every thing in sight and hail the circus as a friend returned after a year of wan dering. "Hello, circus! he says subconscious ly, and then adds. If he has taken a careful look about, "How you have grown!" Sulls-Floto had a wonderful "baby show" when it came through Portland last year and its menagerie still pre sents a fine "baby show," only most of the babies show evidences of healthful development during the past yean Baby Elephant "Cute. The two kindergarten elephants are not much larger than they were last year and by comparison with their huge elders are still small enough to be designated as "cute." The three Hon cubs were only about the size of big house cats a year ago and were busy playing about among their mother's feet. Now they are large enough to feel and act dignified and to live In a cage by themselves, and one of them, although he will have to grow a good deal yet to be a "reg'Iar lion." is developing- a beard and mane that make him look like his father. The four frisky tiger cubs that were piled together in one cage last year and tumbled about too fast to be counted are now about half grown and displaying beautiful new striped Sum mer coati. Even the "blood-sweating hippopot amus, the behemoth of the Bible," shows evidences of the universal growtli that has permeated the Sells Floto circus during the past year. ' HIppopotamuH Xo Beauty. When the circus visited Portland in June of 1912 the "hippo" was Just about the slae of a beer keg and was one of the most dolorously ugly brutes that one could imagine. He waddled when he walked, on legs about five inches long, and he was pink and pop-eyed and habitually sad of countenance. This year he has swelled to about the size and figure of a well-developed barrel, still waddles, still is pinky colored and. if possible, sadder-eyed and more hideous than he was the year before. More horses are in1 evidence this year than a year ago and some of them are strikingly beautiful animals. The wild West show, which features rop ing, rough riding and bucking con tests, has taken the place of the old time "concert" which -used to follow the regular performance, and It Is in this feature that many of the fine horses appear. "Two Step" florae See Aaratn. Omar, "the flying horse." and his charming mistress still make their sensational rise to the dome of the main tent, and the dancing horses dance as merrily as before. The "two step horse" has an even more elabo rate dance than he had when featured a year ago and keeps to the rhythm so perfectly that he needs no help from the director of the band. Even as the lion cubs and tigers and the sad-faced hippo have grown, so has the entire circus grown, and among the old performers and features that were hailed last year many new fea tures are noticeable, ranging; from the equestrian feats to a great variety of acrobatic novelties and to several clown acts that have the unmistakable stamp of novelty. The widening in the scope of the Sells-Floto circus was noticeable even In the parade through the business streets- yesterday morning, with which It heralded the opening of its three days 'engagement here. Slslng up the whole display, from the first band to the shrieking "calliope one should have been constrained to say, even, at that time: "Hello, circus! How you have grown!" May Jry Month in Astoria.

The Peninsular and Sell wood play grounds have swimming pools and it is planned to have similar accommodations at Washington Park, Lents. Laurel hurst, Mount Tabor and South Portland, which would give Portland one of the most complete playground systems in this regard in the country. The Park Board this year altered its policy of having only a woman attend ant for each playground, and both a man and a woman attendant have been engaged. The playgrounds that have swimming pools will have swimming instructors as well.
