THE 3IORNIXG OREGOXIAN, SATURDAY, APRIL 11. 1914. 17 SUNDAY FIGHT IS OH Grocers' Association Favors Closing Ordinance. SMALL STORES OPPOSED After Hcarins Arguments on Both (Sides City Commission Defers Action til til 3 P. M. on Monday, April 30. "Housewives have until 10 o'clock on Saturday nights to buy groceries for Sundays. Buying on Sundays is a habit which can be broken. Orocery clerks work Ions hours week days an are entitled to Sundays off. Sunday opening" of grocery stores is an ev outgrowth of competition." '"Many working people are unable to get home in time to buy Sunday sup plies on Saturday. Many grocers have leasee based on Sunday opening. Sun day closing- is aimed to hinder small struggling concerns and to favor large stores which are in a 'combine.' " These were the principal arguments of grocerymen. large and small, before the City Commission yesterday for and against an ordinance which has been introduced by the Retail Grocers' As sociation making it unlawful for any grocer to keep his place of business open on Sunday. The hearing stirred up a lively fuss which left the Com mission undecided as to the course to follow. The measure finally was put over until a week from Monday at 3 P. M., when another hearing will be held. L R. Merrick represented the Retail Grocers' Association, while the inde pendents were represented by L. IT. McCarthy. Mr. Merrick declared that 90 per cent of the members of the association favor the Sunday closing ordinance. "The association has a membership of 250." he said. "We favor the measure because we believe grocers are enti tled to a day of rest each week, Sun day opening has been started by a few dealers and the others have had to fall into line for business reasons." "It is necessary for me to keep open Sundays because many of my custom ers do not get home early enough on Saturday nights to make their pur chases.' said J. A. Andrews. "They want fresh goods for Sunday and can not get them if we close Sundays." "Most of the buying is done by wo men and children." said E. J. Rich ards. "Very little is bought by men. They have until 10 o'clock Saturday nights to buy groceries for Sundays." "I am forced to open my store on Sunday," said Fred Hofman. "because my competitors open. The Sunday proposition is getting worse. It's so had now that some people want the stores to make Sunday deliveries." "It isn't the fault of the customers." asserted Mrs. IS. Young. "They buy because they have a chance to. If the stores were closed they, would buy on Saturdays1." "This ordinance is a scheme." de clared I j. II. McCarthy, an attorney for the opposition. It would put some deal ers out of business. Many dealers have taken leases on the basis of being able to do business on Sunday." Portland tomorrow to participate In the opening meeting at the Portland Com mercial Club Monday morning. Wallace R. Struble. secretary of the association, says that acceptances have been received, from all of the prin cipal cities of the Inland Empire and from many parts of British Columbia.

BEETHOVEN'S MUSIC GIVEN lu-cr shipment Arrives From Anselr Biff Supply in ISicbt. A full car of Loa Angela strawberries waa received yestrrday. the first large shipment and the bBt quality of the season. The berries cleaned up quickly, a lara; part of the shipment having been sold ahead. The prices ranged from $1.40 to $1.75 a crate of 15 pints. Another car is duo from Los Ange les Monday. Thcie will be plenty of California straw berries for the local market this season, and prices are likely to be cheap before the Oregon crop comes on. The California crop is a larg one and selling conditions at the other end, particularly in the Florin dis trict, arc unsettled. Heretofore the Florin shippers have lined up. but this season most of the lari;e firms will ship Independently, and In order to move the crop, consigning will no doubt be havy. This will mean easy pries nere. The Fresno section will begin shipping In ear lots next week.. Los Angeles berries will hold the field here until the Florin and Newcastle Dollars are ready, and these will later give place to the Banners from Alameda County. The latter are pronounced the finest berries grown In California. The Banners will be put up In the new standard Oregon crate, holding tlires tiers. containing 34 pints, or two tiers of 16 quarts. The crates are all of the same size. The ! Florins will be iu the one-tier, '20 tin top pint crates. The Newcastle berries in the old-fashioned 15 one-pound tin top and the .oa Angeles In the 15-plnt tin top. All the berries shipped this year except the New castle or I'lacer County berries, will be In the full pint or full quart basket or h al loc k. to conform with the new Federal law- regarding Interstate shipments.

All interested organizations, except the Woodlawn Club, have appointed conference committees on the widening of Union avenue from Morris to Kast Morrison streets. The Woodlawn Club is expected to appoint its committee this week. The committees will meet at the Al bina library next week to discuss the best method of procedure. The ques tions to be deci-ded are the approxi mate cost and benefits, how assess ments are to be made, whether the street will be widened by taking ten feet from both sides or 20 feet from one side, how to eliminate the fof$ at Morris street, and whether the brick building's should be areaded, moved, or cut down. The general sentiment is that if Union avenue is made 80 feet wide. 10 feet should be taken from both sides. Genius Born at Bonn Counted Shakespeare of Melody. The Shakespeare of music is counted Ludwl? von Beethoven, born in 1727, and his birthplace at Bonn is consid ered a musical shrine. He was the son of a tenor in . the King of Sax ony's Chapel, and his musical educa tion was begun at five years of ag-e. Before his eighth birthday he was an accomplished violinist: at the age of 13 he published a book of popular inarches and sonatas, and his music has such a wide scope and variety that many of the phrases in his son atas and piano selections have become popular melodies and songs. His en tire loss of hearing did not prevent him from continuing to achieve ex quisite compositions, and it was his versatility and wide range of every form of musical expression that made him famous. Some of Beethoven's matchless mel odies are to b found in "Heart Songs,' and enhance the value of that volume to the true music lover. This paper is placing it before its readers on terms that amount to a gift. See the coupon in today's issue for explanation.

VALLEY IDEAL TO WATER Ex-Governor Gecr Tells of Suitability of Willamette for Ditcliln, "I would rather have second and third-rate soil that has -water available to it than have hrst-rate soil without water," said ex-Governor Geer in his speech before the Realty Board yester dav on '"Irrigation." "The combination of heat and moisture is needed to maks things grow anywhere. "Of the thousands of beautiful and fertile acres of the Willamette Valley not one acre in five has ever been plowed. No stretch of country was ever better suited for the installation of irrigation ditches. "The shape of the valley is oblong. with a space running from mountain to mountain that becomes, in effect, a natural reservoir for water. If the lands of the Willamette Valley were properly handled they would yield a food supply sufficient to meet the wants of the entire Pacific Coast."
