IDEA MAY BE ABANDONED Products of Out-of-Toun Plants Test Higher Than Portland-Made Goods Many- Towns Repre sented at Con rent Ion. Oregon buttermakers want a dairy produce exchange established In this city where they can disoose of their surplus to better advantage than at present. Steps to install uch an ex rlnnce vera taken at a meeting held at the Multnomah Hotel yesterday, but differences developed between the city and the country creamery men which may cause the project to be abandoned. The meeting was attended by cream ery men from Rll parts of the state, and most of the Portland creameries were also represented. The movement was started by the of ficers of the Northwest Butter & Pro duce Company, a co-operative Institu tion composed of about 30 creameries operating In this state outside of Port land. Surplus Sold la City. The company established an office and depot In this city several months a?o in order to get In closer touch with the local butter trade. These vari ous creameries supply their own dis tricts with butter, but frequently have a surplus, whlrh they market here. Last week the experiment was tried of selling butter at auction, and the Micce-s that attenoed the sales induced the officers of the company to suggest the scheme of a regular butter board where the product could be disposed of at daily sessions to the highest bidder. statements nave. Deen made tnat out side creamery butter was not equal in quality to that made In this city. Samples Are Tented. In order to test the matter, samples were purchased in the open retail mar ket yesterday by Deputy Ziemer, of the State Dairy and Food commission. These samples were examined, and scored as follows by G. A.

Meyer, secre tary and manager of the company: Carl Schallenger, of the Hazelwood Company, and T. S. Townsend, of the Townsend Creamery Company. All agreed that a dairy produce ex change would be a good thing for the creamery industry. The city creamery men. however, thought the outside creameries should confine their opera tions in this city to the exchange. The co-operative people have spent much money already on their local agency and having built up a city busi ness, are not disposed to give It up. It is this difference that. It is feared, will prevent the establishment of a public butter exchange here at present. best musical organization turned out by that school in many years, will give a concert tomorrow night at the Heilig Theater. "Members of the organization will arrive In the city tomorrow morn lng, and a lively reception probably will be accorded them by the Portlan Club of Stanford University upon their arrival and during their stay In tue city. This Is the first time the musical club has taken a trip Into this part of the country In three years. Last year it went East and made a- hit in many of the principal cities of a dozen or more states. This year the organiza tion is changed somewhat, but It la said to be as good or better than last year's club. Features of the programme tomor row. in addition to classical and popU' lar music, will be the doings of Dick Morgan. B. M. Melvin and W. G. Paul, known as "stunt men." Morgan dances the Hawaiian ballet toe dance, and is one of the most popular men In the Stanford dramatic circles. Melvin is a running mate for Morgan, and Paul is a ragtime pianist. While In the city the club members will stay at the Oregon Hotel. The organization la directed by Louis A. Eaton, formerly the organist for Trin Ity Church In San Francisco. From Portland the organization will go to Vancouver, B. C. giving concerts en route at Centralis. Taeoma. Everett, Olympia and Seattle. From Vancouver t will jump back to Salem for a con cert,, and will then continue south playing at Roseburg, Medford and Eu gene on the way. The club will re turn to the University January E.

"If the people of Portland could see the public market of Seatlte as I saw Jt Saturday nijrht. they would vote for any amount of bonds to establish a similar market In Portland." Tins was t!ie declaration of City CommiS!.ioner Bigetow, following bis return yesterday from a two days' In- peetion of various - phases of the city government of Seattle. . "It is a wonderful sight." he said yesterday, "to see the market place in operation. I passed more than an hour looking over the place and watching the putrons making their purchases. I am convinced now more than ever that the people made a mistake in turning down the bond issue at the special election December 9.'' Commissioner Blgelow investigated the police signal system in Seattle, and declared it to bo a failure. Judging from the opinions expressed by mem bers of the police department with whom he spoke. He says interest In commission government is strong in Seattle, but tiiat the anti-commission people are getting In some good work by misrepresenting facts and condi tions In Portland and elsewhere where commission government is In force. Officers of the Juvenile Court be lieve they have broken an organized tand of young thieves In the arrest of Mck Candyloas, 17 years old, who is said to have directed two young con federates in operations about the city. Probation Officer Jeffries, who ar rested Candyloas, says that he be lieves thefts by the band will amount to more than $100. The two young confederates. It is said, one of whom Is 14 years old and the other 11 years old, were kept locked In hotels about the city during the day time, and were taken out only late at night by the leader, who would direct them to the place they were to rob, who, it Is said, kept watch while the smaller boys were looting small stands. Only places would be robbed, It Is said, where the small boys could crawl under or over the grating at the door or window. When the goods Were obtained they would be divided equally among the three, it is charged. The leader- of the gang has been placed in the county jail to await a bearing before the Juvenile Court Sat urday, the 14-year-old boy has been sent to' Fraser Home and the youngest of the three has been left with his parents until his hearing. When the boys were arrested, a bunch of keys, which Mr. Jeffries said would do credit to an experienced of fender, and a small kit of tools were taken from the boys. An entrance Into most any building where a cheap lock is used, conld be effected. Jeffries said, by the keys. Plans were made, one of the younger boys told the arresting ofllcer, to break a small safe, but something Interfered to stop the op'erations before the plan was carried out. Only small goods, which could be converted into cash easily, were taken, it is believed, for though the boys are said to- have been operating for sev eral weeks, they have ' worked so quietly that it was only last week that a search for them was instigated. Com plaint was made to the Juvenile Court by neighbors of the two smaller boys that the boys had not been at home for several weeks, and it was thought that they were being detained away from home. The first clew the officers got was when they learned last week that a young man had bought sandwiches from a North End restaurant and re quested that they be wrapped up that they might be carried to some boys at the hotel. This clew was followed, the boys being found at the Ross House, at First and Salmon streets. The leader of the small gang, who has no family here, as far as has been learned, is said to have served a two year sentence at a roform school at Seattle, and to have been released only recently. He has been saving his money, apparently, for Jeffries said he had. a bank book showing a bal ance of $17, and had $10 in cash. WATERWAYS MEET TO BE BfG EVENT Wallace R.

"The fifth annual convention of the Columbia & Snake River Waterways Association, which will be held in Port land April 11-14 next, will bring to gether the largest body of open river enthusiasts ever assembled in the Northwest," was the prediction made byWatlace R.

SWIFT, of Baker, vice-presi dent of the National Farmers' Union, who was in fortiana tne oiner dav, has an accomplishment that Is the delight of ftis friends and the con fusion of his casual acquaintances. Mr. Swift can give, offhand, the boundaries of any county in' the United States. At least no one has ever sug gested a county that he cannot bound, although he . says .that there are so many new counties being formed all over the country that he ma be "be" hind five or six." ' - . Not only that, but Mr. Swift can give the county seat of each county, and if there has been a recent change in. the location of the county capital, he will tell you about it.' B. E. Kennedy, who used to conduct a paper in Baker, and who is an old friend of Mr. Swift's was telling about the latter's unique faculty in the Im perial lobby. "Bound Pembina County," said a man from North Pakota. The Red River on the east, with Minnesota opposite; Cavalier County on the west. ",c south and the International Dounaary lines, with the Province of Manitoba, on the north," promptly answered Mr. Swift. Correct." said the P.ortn LKuian, and then, as an afterthought, "What is the county seat'." "How long since you were there?" J asked Mr. Swift. j "If no use." said the North Da kotan. "he knows about that, too." "Yes." said Mr. Swift, "Pembina was the county seat until about two years ago. when the voters moved It to Ca valier same name as the county to the west, whose county seat Is Lang don." . "I'm from Dallas County, Iowa, and I'm not sure that I can bound It my self," said another bystander. "Iowa counties are a little difficult, because they are laid out in squares and there are few breaks In the check erboard to fix the boundaries In one's memory," said Mr. Swift, "but. I think it is bounded this way: Polk County on the east, Guthrie on the west, Madi son on the south," he- hesitated, but went on: "I think there is a jog on the north. That is. Greene County laps over. Yes, Greene and Boone on the north. Adel is the county seat." In like manner he bounded Pike County, Missouri, Covington County, Mississippi, and other counties men tioned by his hearers. . Besides the Mississippi, the famous Missouri County has five counties on its boundaries. (Mr. Swift is full of other Informa tion concerning the counties of the country. For instance, he says that there are no less than seven Clark counties in the United States. He gained his information from study of the map made incident to his work as an officer- of the National Farmers' Union, and knows In a gen eral way what the soil of each county produces and what are its shipping fa cilities. - - Set of six Solid Silver .Plated Butter .
