Grocers of the United States have started a little war of their own. It is a war on foodstuff Jugglers, and speculators in flour and sugar partic ularly, who are takinr advantage of the European war situation to boost prices, and then unload the blame on the grocers and other retail merchants dealing in edibles. At the rexular bimonthly meeting of the Portland Grocers' . Merchants- As sociation Tuesday night at Altsky Hall resolutions were adopted condemning the foodstuff speculators, and unequiv ocally denying responsibility for the increase in prices on tho various arti cles since the war began in Europe. A Federal investigation is formally asked also. Flour Rise Condemned. The fact that the United States is well stocked in flour at this time and a bumper grain crop is being harvested is evidence sufficient that the increase In the price of flour was unwarranted, say the members of the association. The grocers throughout the United .States are to take action similar to that begun by the Portland associa tion, and, furthermore, the various as sociations will begin a campaign to ferret out the commercial culprits and expose them, regardless of whether they be individuals or dealers. The resolutions adopted In Portland were sent to President Wilson and to the Oregon delegation in Congress. The aim is to have the President and Ore gon Representatives and Senators begin a movement to get a Federal in vestigating committee to lay bare the operations of the foodstuff speculators. Speculating Is Attacked. The resolutions follow: Whereas, the present crisis in Europe has been accepted by certain commercial spec ulators as an opportune moment for the juggling of food product prices, and Whereas, the law o) supply and demand has warranted no appreciable advance in ordinary staplu commodities, especially with reference to sugar and other commodities of local production, and Whereas, the retail grocers of Portland have been uajustly and wrongfully accused of advancing prices because of the foreign wars, with the consequent upheaval of com mercial conditions, and Whereas, the members of the Portland Grocers' and Merchants' Association are utterly opposed to the unreasoning advance in th prices of products sold to them and by them to the consumer; therefore, be It Resolved. That the members of this as sociation do emphatically condemn those individuals and concern! who are rightfully responsible for the present inflated prices; and be It Resolved, That a copy of these resolu tions be handed to the local press; and be it further Resolved, That said resolutions be for aarUed to President Wilson and to the lion orablo Senators and Congressmen represent ing Oreson In the National capital, peti tioning the appointment of a committee to Investigate Immediately the operations of said speculators in Oregon and throughout tht.se Untied States. GIBSON READY FOR WAR Property Owners on Omaha Street Said to Be Prepared to Fight. "Unless you give property owners on Omaha avenue what we want and what we are paying for we'll fight till we haven't a hair left on our heads." oliout ed M. E. Gibson, head of the Albee-Lfieck-Brewster recall movement, when he appeared before the City Commis sion ysterday to protest against the manner proposed for the improvement of Omaha avenue from Killinsswoith avenue to Portland boulevard. Thio was the first appearance of any of llie re callers before the Commission, slr.ee the recall plans wert announced. Mr. Gibson says Commissioner Dleck insist on Omaha avenue having a cen tral parking strip and an l-foot road way on each side of this, whereas the property owners want only a .'-foot roadway on each side of tho central strip. "We know what we want," shouted Gibson. ."We are paying for It and should have what we want."' Commissioner deck explained that IS-too roadways are . too narrow to be safe. They are not permitted any where In the country, he said, it was for this reason that he has held out for the 18-foot roadway in spits of the de mands of some of the property owners for narrower roadways. INDIAN EXHIBIT READY General Progress to Be Shown at Land Products Show. One of the most picturesque features of the Manufacturers' and Land Prod ucts chow, October IS to November 14, will be the exhibit made by the United states Indian service, under the super intendence of Mr. Theodore Sharp, of i-apwai, Idaho. It will incluude sam ples of the grain and forage crops grown by the Indians at that agency, showing the progress in agriculture. A tepee covered with skins, as in the olden days, with pictures of modern homes on the reservation, will present a striking contrast of the Indian as he was and as he is. 4 The old method of cooking by the use of iiot stones in a basket will be shown in contrast to modern methods. The management has decided to send out special commissioners to the granges in Southern vVashington and the nearby counties of Oregon. The first of these. Professor James Irving t:rabbe. will speak to the Milwaukte Grange Thursday evening and expects to address other granges In Multnomah, Clackamas and in Clarke County, Washington, within the next week or two and will show stereopticon views f some of the exhibits and buildings. OPEN DOOR STIRS DIECK Commissioner Insists Sidewalk Out lets Should Be Closed. Although a number of business men told City Commissioner Dieck that it is impracticable for them to keep the sidewalk doors closed when not In use, Mr. Dleck says that he expects to see that they do- s, It is said that many of the doors leading from cellars up through the sidewalk are open for hours st a time and that this blocks sidewalk traffic. It is said that, in many cases, the doors are opened for ventilating pur r Jse.

"I will go back some day to magazine and play-writing and to composing songs. I have a ranch in Southern Missouri and a cattle ranch in Wyo ming," said Maude rulton. "Well, you can't sell me either of those," said Mr. Rock, for when I get my place it will have to be nsnt near the Pacific." The average person w'u goes to see the co-stars, Rock and Fulton, appear ing here this week in their big success, "Tlie Candy Shop," p.oliably thinks that the two so remarkably clever, so uni versally popular, must, of course, oe perfectly satisfied with their success, and yet here they were, Just like nny ordinary beings, dreaming of being something else. Frnm ranrhps the toDlc of conversa tion somehow got around to audiences. "The critical auaience puis us on um metal. We have to fight all the time to please them. We do our best and give of ourselves the best there is in us and we soon feel that they are appreciating us," said Mr. Rock. "We get them on the high gear and keep them there." put In Miss Fulton. "We give them a chance for laugh after laugh." First Laugh Is Gauge. The stars both said that they gauged the entire show by the first laugh. They watch all the time that the interest doesn't die. They explained the failure of many would-be comedians by blam ing it on their lack of ability to keep things going all the time. "If all the audiences were a cinch, tt would get monotonous," said Mr. Rock. Never yet has Mr. Rock failed to get the laughs and to win the hearts of his audiences. Is it because of his the ories about the constant fight, or is it his genuine ability and genius? 'Tls both, I think. Mr. Rack said he was going to keep CHAMPION COWGIRL TWIRLS ROPE ON FANTAGES STAGE. Lucille Mulhall. Woman in the person of Miss Lucille Mulhall ha sought a new world to conquer, and again by the offices of Miss Mulhall has come out of the fray triumphant. When the big event of the Mid dle West, the Winnipeg Stam pede, was held last year, among a host of the crack riders of the plains was entered the name of Lucille Mulhall. The wise received the entrant with a sympathizing smile. Miss Mulhall. who is starring at Pantages this week in the sen sational frontier day act, the big gest of the sort in vaudeville, showed the doubting ones. When the stampede was at an end Miss Mulhall was awarded the world's championship prise of $1000 and the great belt so eagerly sought by the riding experts from all parts of the West. on acting until he had made enough money to retire. Then he said a lot of complimentary things about Portland. Silence on the part of Mr. Rock fol lowed, for Miss Fulton began on the subject of dress. Now, Mr. Rock really is an artist, for he can plan the coloring and general effect of the entire cos tuming for a show, but he leaves the dress-talk to Miss Fulton. Actress Own Modiste. This interesting, fascinating little woman designs all her gowns and they are all beauties. Her Bernhardt robe is of softest black velvet, lined with varicolored crepe de chine and bordered with fur. For the cabaret scene the actress has a different gown for nearly every day of the week. The peach crepe meteor is built over accordion-pleated chiffon and is a dream. The black and white silk is an imported model with edges of silver beads. Another gown is of orange velvet embroidered in silver with the richest blue and gold coloring in the pleating. Miss Fulton got the material from r-arls just before the war broke out. The Marie Antoinette cos tume is another handsome one. Climb la Up-Hlll One. "I never was stagestruck," said Miss Fulton. "When I saw Ceojslia Loftus, I decided to go on the stage. It was up hill work at first. I played in stock in South Dakota and when I had saved $100 I started to New York to make my fortune. It was a hard struggle. For a long time I lived on 15 cents a day, and all the while I worked and felt that some day I would succeed. "The rewards cam gradually. I have always played for the" women and the children as well as for the men. I study my audiences and they are my friends." ' Mr. Rock about that time started to relate some of the funny things that happened and tell how happy the big "Candy Shop" family is, how they all loe Florence Morrison and Daphne Pollard and how loyal everyone Is. Then someone rapped on the door and called out an announcement that Rock and Fulton understood. The show was on. The curtain was up. The interview was over. HERO GETS GOLD MEDAL EARNEST O'BRYAN REWARDED BY AD CLUB FOR MAN'S RECCE. Youth's Answers to Questions. After Mayor's Presentation Speech. Are Generously Applauded by All. In recognition of his bravery and prompt action in rescuing a drowning man from the surf at Seaview, Wash., on North Beach, a short time ago. Earnest C. O'Bryan, the 13-year-old son of Harvey O'Bryan, was presented with a gold medal by the Portland Ad Club at its luncheon at the Port land Hotel yesterday. He not only res cued the man by riding out into the surf on his pony, but after he reached shore rode for a doctor. The medal was engraved by Jaeger Bros, on one side with the figure of a boy riding out into the surf on horse back and on the other with the pres entation inscription from the Ad Club. After Mayor Albee had received the medal from C. F. Berg, president of the club, and with an appropriate speech bestowed it upon the boy, a storm of applause for a time prevented him from making any response. Then he replied: "Gentlemen of the Ad Club, I thank you for this beautiful medal and I shall keep it as one of my most cher ished possessions all my life." Mr. Berg then asked: "Earnest, just what was your motive, after all-in riding out to get that fellow from the surf?" "Because nobody else was going in, and if I hadn't gone he would have drowned," was the prompt answer. The admen recognized this frank, boyish explanation with long-continued applause. R. D. Carpenter laid before the club a plea for the establishment of a Red Cross chapter in Portland. He read a communication from the National or ganization and asked that the Ad Club take the matter up.
