For today Is Waste Paper day. It has been ao decreed by the fire prevention department of the Portland Fire Bu reau and by the civic bureau of the Portland Chamber of Commerce. Movement Inspires) Thrift. "Waste Paper day Is going to do a whole lot more than save some of 'he waste paper around this man's town. It is going to Instill a spirit of thrift and enterprise In some of the young folks, and perhaps that, in the Ion run, is the greatest benefit that is porno; vo come out of It. Martin L. G-off, a dealer In old paper has agreed to pay at the rate of 85 cents a 100 pounds for all old newspapers, books, magazines and other kinds of flat paper that is delivered to any of the various Portland fire stations today. 80 there is a real financial object for the boys and girls engaging In this campaign. Whafs more: after today Mr. Goff will pay 25 cents a 100 pounds fdV all old papers of the same kind and his wagons will call at the homes and get t at that fiprure. The only reason he Is paying more for it today than on any other dny is because the Fire Bu reau wasons will deliver it at his ware house, saving him the cost of collect ing it. Boy Scouts Want Autos. 60 If the boys and girls get properly Imbued with the thrift spirit they will continue to dispose of their old papers tomorrow and every day. . James E. Brockway, scout commis sioner, asks for the co-operation of' automobile drivers, who will be able to assist the Boy Scouts in the collec tion of waste paper by leaving bundles at fire stations on their way to or from town. Boy Scouts will be in the fire stations to receive all bundles marked "Woman's Co-operative Committee," for these bundles will be set aside .especial ly for the transportation fundsending needy boys and girls to Summer camps at the beach. Bundles of paper weighing 100 pouncs or more, which cannot be delivered at the flrse stations, will be collected by Boy Scouts, who can be summoned by calling Mr. Brockway at East 2667. It is expected that a number of business firms having large bundles of waste paper will furnish a considerable quan tity for collection In this manner. S200O to Be Distributed. The Portland Railway, Light & Pow er Company has arranged to transport, free of charge, all paper In 20-pound bundles, consigned to the fire stations to the credit of the "Women's Co-oper atlve Committee." The money for this paper is to be used in paying the vaca tion expenses of the girls' Summer camp at Seaside.

DETAILS BEING WORKED ON Frank W. Itobinson, While at Con ference In Chicago, Also Attended Hearings on Appeal for Re classification of Lumber. Pimento Cheese is the cheese for macaroni T. S. Townsend Creamery Co. Wholesale Distributers for Oregon and S. W. Washington All the transcontinental railroads af fected by the Interstate Commerce Commission's recent order in the Spo kane and intermountain rate cases are ready to apply the new ratea on Sep tember 1 the effective date set by the Commission. This is the news brought to Portland yesterday by Frank W. Robinson, traf fic manager for the O.-W. R. & N. Com pany, upon his return from a confer ence with traffic officials of all the in terested lines in Chicago. Meanwhile, however, the shippers organizations In Portland. Seattle, San Francisco and other Pacino Coast terminals are preparing to petition the Commission for a rehearing of the case and a suspension of the order pending action on this petition. The carriers are ready to comply with the Commission's order, said Mr, Robinson in discussing the contem plated action of the shippers. "The Supreme Court has held that the Com mission Is the final authority on i Question of rates and we have no re course from their decision. Of course, if the shippers gain a rehearing and an Incidental postponement, the Union Pa cific system will take the stand that it did In the original case that the pres ent rates should be sustained. Committee Arranging Details. Mr. Robinson said that the detail o readjusting the rates has been placed in the hands of a committee and that this committee is at work. The new tariff will be filed with the Commission Auaust 1. so that the rates may b published the required 80 days before they become effective. Whether or not the new tariffs will provide a reduction of the Spokane rate to meet the Coast rate, or an advance In the Coast rate to meet the Spokane rate, had not been determined when he left Chicasro. Mr. Robinson said. He was informed yesterday, though, that in the event the carriers attempt to advance the terminal rates the shippers will make a protest to the Commission on the ground that such action would violate the fourth sectlo of the commerce code which says that when terminal rates once are reduced to meet water competition they shall not be advanced excepting for a reason other than the elimination of water competition. The recent Spokane case was brought solely on the ground that the water competition at Portland and the other terminals had been eliminated and th shippers will take this ground as th basis of- their demand for a contlnu lion of the existing terminal rates. Astoria Rates to Be Revised. The O.-'W. R. & N. Cdnpany. saya Mr. Robinson, is prepared to establish rate to meet the Commission's decision In the Astoria case. The company al ways has handled its itstorla business by a fleet of steamers connecting with th rail line at Portland, and proposes to continue this arrangement under with the North Bank, to handle our Astoria business under the new rate," he replied to a question on this sub ject. While in Chicago Mr. Robinson also attended some of the hearings being' conducted before the Interstate Com merce Commission on the proposed re classification of lumber and lumber products. The carriers and the lumber manufacturers of the Pacific Coast are taking a firm stand for a continuation of existing arrangements in handling lumber shipments. The aiiaaie western lumber manufacturers are contending for a readjustment that will enable them to compete with the Coast manu facturers for some of the Middle West ern business. "The Pacific Coast rail lines take the position." said Mr. Roblnaon, "that they ought to maintain rates that will heln the lumber industry of the Coast. think it Is a healthy sign when the railroads and the lumber Interests can work together as they have done In this case." The lines terminating In the North west still have under contemplation, he reports, the reduction of the lumber rate from this territory to the Mis- ourl River from 60 cents to 45 cents, as explained in The uregonian a lew weeks ago. Early action is contem plated, he says. BIG CROPS ASSURED Heppner. Banker Predicts Bumper Yield of Wheat. WELLS FARGO MAN TO GO Buildins Superintendent McGirr . Transferred to South.

Malioney, Driving to Portland n Way to Coast for Sis tlon, Tells of Prosperity Dawn ing for Sis Section of State. BT ADDISON BENNETT. T, J. Mahoney, cashier of the First National Bank of Heppner. Morrow County, Oregon, Is staying at the Im- Derial. accompanied by Mrs. Mahoney, They are on their way to the beach, and will leave In their machine this morn ing for Seaside. They drove from Heppner here via Gooseberry. Olex. Wasco. The Dalles and Hood River, coming In over th Columbia Highway, They found the road good all the way except a small stretch. ths aide of Hood River. Mr. Mahoney. being Interested In wheat lands aa well aa In banking, la as conversant with conditions in his part of the state aa any other person in bis vicinity, and be says tnat Mor row County this year will harvest the bumper wheat crop of its history. He has driven over much of the county recently and knows whereof ha speaks. "In some sections of Morrow." re marked Mr. Mahoney. "I saw acre after acre that will yield fully 35 bushels aj acre, and yi the land this wheat is growing on has been held at about 20 an acre, some of It at even less. I also saw on some of the heavier lands wheat that will run well over 60 bushela to the acre. I tell you Mor row County Is coming out strong this season, which will be of tremendous benefit, for we had a succession of poor crops and many of the land own ers and renters left, but the splendid crops of this year will bring many of them back, which will mean better times for everybody In Morrow." Mr. Mahoney did not pans througl the best sections of Gilliam or Sherman counties, but. from what he saw and heard, he la sure both of those coun ties will have a yield far above the average. "In Sherman County," said Mr. Mahoney, "I passed through a por tion of the light lands on the eastern edge of the county, where the. yield ill not be as heavy as on similar lands In Morrow, but after passing Wasco I passed many fields that will give a bumper yield. I did not see much of Wasco County, but In talking with various people I learned that in many portions of that county there will be large yields, so it looks like the en tire section from Eastern Morrow to the Cascades will show this Fall a prosperity equaling- that following the. big yields a dozen or more years ago. I asked him if he had any political news, and he said nothing, but expected landslide for Hughes. LITTLE GIRLS RUN AWAY FAIR OB ELETEN-TpUt-OLDS WAX DER 31 MILES FROM CITT.
