Be New SALES ARE CUT IN HALF 18S7 V.9 . 1913 Other Dealers I-ue Warning, Saj ius Indu.-try Will Be Iluined and Standards Lowered if Pree ent Kates Are Slashed. Unusual conditions which have caused an over supply of milk in Port land have resulted in the slashing of prices by a number of dairymen, ac cording to word which has been re ceived by the City Milk Inspection Bu reau. Some dealers are now deliver ing a quart of milk daily for $1.80 a month, while others are asking J2.23 and $2.75 for the same service. Up to a short time ago the standard price was ?3 a month or $1.50 for a pint daily. The majority of dealers still retain the old prices. The cutting of prices is deplored by members of the -Milk Inspection Bu reau and by nuny of the dealers, be ;iu.e it is feared the quality will be reduced. It is contended that the dairymen cannot cut their prices and still maintain the present standard of their milk. Warming Issued by Dealer. The slashing is said by Robert Ire land, manager of one of the large milk companies, to be an exceedingly bad thing for the city if it is continued. He says the milk consumer should be-u-ar. ih.. nrire-sktshinc dealer. "It better to build up than tear i down the milk business. From a stand point of economic production, wnicn benefits the consumer as well as the producer." said Mr. Ireland yesterday, good milk at the regular rates is be ing produced at a loss. The milk pro ducers tributary to Portland are pro ducing milk on the highest priced land in the state. These producers do not row enough feed to feed their cows. nly for a few months of the year, and have to buy the greater portion of it. This season the price of grain feed lias gone out of all proportion, owing to the great export demand. Then again, owing to bad conditions and to the number of unemployed, the milk consumption has fallen off nearly 25 per cent. This gives the dairymen and distributor surplus milk on hand, produced with high-priced feed and la bor. Miir Wagons on Same Route. "Statistics show that 1'S different wagons cover the same block each night throughout the city. Then again j milk bottles cost the dairymen $50,000 , . year, bad accounts $S0,000 a year, j The sanitary handling of milk means clean handling of clean milk. Port land has one of the most efficient milk J inspection departments in the country, j doing everything for the welfare of the i consumer and the milk business. "What is the use of the taxpayers paying for this inspection it" they drive the dairymen to sell their milk at a price below the cost of production and handling? It has taken five years of close inspection to bring the milk business of Portland where it is today. Drive the present milkman out and it will take live years more before the quality of milk will again reach the quality it is today. I ' Better Conditions Forecast, f "Let us do away with this price. ftlliiiillltli Ttltr QUALITY STOR.E- OF PORTLAND rytK. .Sixths. "Morri30i Aider Sta. If:"'''11! iiujlii cuttinff sentiment.

Dairymen will build more, larger, commodious barns, keep j better cows, distributors will build better plants ami employ more trained experts to safeguard the public, le c.iuse they will have some encouraare nent that the milk business is on a business basis."'

The s ?teii ft" dry retain in: wa lis alonr tlio liitlumbia Highway in Colum bia, County was the point of attack for (he attorneys of the Spokane, Portland A: prattle Kailway yesterday in their suit against the county to secure dam ages for injuries to the railway from . tides tn the highway and to secure a permanent injunction against the continuance of the work under the present methods "of construction. The suit is bcin heard before United States District Judire Wolvcrlon. A. M. Lupfur. chief engineer for the railway, yesterday testified that a dry wall should have two feet breadth for 'ery foot of height and asserted that the wall on t ht Columbia Highway in Columbia County do not fulfill thesp requirements. It also was developed in the testimony that the contractors had held a conference with the dis trict engineers and advised the use of concrete walls, but that the sugges tion had been rejected as too expensive. 11. A. Ayres. resident engineer, said that he w;s of the opinion that dry wa lis would never work and that he had smusrested this to the district on Cineers. The state highway engineers have not yet put in their testimony on the matter. The railway company alleges that several of the retaining walls that parallel their track have been washed out and fallen as a result of the rain and that the company has been dam aged to the extent of $3000. ,,,..,17111; ROAD REPAIRS AT ISSUE Kcsolution to Ask County to Act May lie Rcforc City Conncil. A resolution to ask the Board of Countv Commissioners to make repairs to county roads within the city limits probably will be before the City Coun cil at its next meeting. It is the out come of many complaints about road conditions within the city. The Council maintains that Inasmuch as 92 per cent of the county taxes are paid by property owners in the limits of Portland tho county should care for repairs to the roads. The County Com missioners, on the other hand, have held that It is up to the Council to handle repairs within the city. !i; in.
