CHICAGO. Nov. 20. There is every reason to believe that the price of but ter will continue to rise, C. E. McNeill, president of the Chicago Butter and Kgg Board, declared today. Mr. Mc Neill asserted that the board price probably will be 50 cents a pound be fore the first of the year. "The storage houses were cleared when this season began," he said, "and the demand has been heavy. War or ders for butter itself, for condensed milk and cheese, are partly responsi ble for the increased demand." LAW MAY BRAND SPEEDER Police Record on Operator's License Is Proposed in California.

WET.SER PASTOR TAKES CALL Rev. H. F. Given, Spokane, to Come to Portland. RESIGNATION HANDED IN Charge at I'irst Vnited Presbyterian to Be Assumed December 1 5, After More Than Pour Years or Success at Spokane. SPOKANE. Wash., Nov. 20. (Spe cial.) After a successful pastorate of four and a half years at the First United Presbyterian Church, the Rev. If. K. Given tendered his resignation yesterday. He expects to leave Spo kane about the middle of December to take charge of the First United Presbyterian Church of Portland, with which the Third Church of that city recently consolidated into a First United Presbyterian Church. "The Portland field offers an attrac tive prospect for building up a big work," said Rev. Mr. Given, "and the call was unanimous. The church is in a good residence section with a lfeld pretty much to itself, and there seems to be an opportunity to build up a big Sunday school and young people's work as well as a strong congregation." LPORTLiAXO PASTORS PLEASED Rev. S. Eari Du Boise Delighted When Schoolmate Accepts. Rev. If. F. Given was a schoolmate of Rev. S. Earl DuBois, pastor of the United Presbyterian Church of the Strangers, who said last night: ,"I am very glad to hear that Rev. Mr. Given has accepted .the call to Portland. He is a tine, conscientious man, and the right man to make things run smooth ly and prosperously in the church to which he has been called. "Rev. Mr. Given and myself attended Allegheny Seminary together. He was graduated one year before me, in 1895." Since then Rev. Mr. Given has been pastor of the United Presbyterian Church at New Castle, Pa,, at the Sev enth Church in Chicago and in Spo kane. The First United Presbyterian Church at Portland and the Third Church con solidated recently and moved to the Third Church at East Thirty-seventh near Hawthorne, and the church now Is called the First , United Presbyterian Church. Recently Dr. W. A. Spalding; of the Third Church, resigned because of ill health and went to the Southeast. The churches then consolidated. Rev. Frank DeWitt Finley, formerly pastor of the First Church, then became pastor of the two united churches. He recently resigned. The work, however, has gone on and services held by Rev. M. E. Dunn, synodical superintendent of mis sions. Rev. Mr. DuBois said that the new pastor was expected about the middle of December. Portland has now the three churches of that denomination, the Church of the Strangers, Rev. Air. DuBois, pastor; the First Church, the consolidated two churches and the Kenton church, of which Rev. J. S. Cole is pastor. LUMBERMEN MAKING PLANS (Continued From First Pane.) ern Pine Association; R. B. Goodman, of Marinette, Wis., president of the Wisconsin Lumber Manufacturers' As sociation; Captain Robert Dollar, of San Francisco, head of the Robert Dol lar Steamship" Company; J. H. Bloedel, of Seattle, president of the West Coast Lumber Association, and E. T. Allen, of Portland, secretary of the Western For estry and Conservation Association. F. C. Knapp, president of the Peninsula Lumber Company, presided. A big company of lumbermen, bankers and business men generally attended. Mr. Hazen went right to the heart of the lumber situation in detailing what can be done to improve the indus try. He enumerated the following six items which merit immediate attention: First A thorough, detailed survey of the industry to find its exact situation in relation to other materials. Second Uniform cost accounting to determine the cost of each item pro duced. Third The collection and distribu tion of accurate lumber-selling prices In all important markets, this infor mation to be comparable with "market reports" on other kinds of products. Advertising Campaign Suera-ested. Fourth Necessary co-operation of lumbermen with banks for extension of credit for upbuilding- rural population; the future of wood consumption will be in the country largely. Fifth Co-operative selling of prod uct abroad, and perhaps at home. Sixth Market extension through ad vertising, distribution of literature, and . ,A.-..y. .w.-J.s.v BRBTJUIT. the sending of men into the consuming field to insure the proper use of wood where wood is best. Mr. Downman insisted that the fu ture development of the lumber indus try lies largely with the lumbermen themselves. He declared emphatically that salvation lies only through co operation and that co-operation can be carried on only through the associa tions. He appealed for more generous support of the National association, of which he is the head. He showed that something is -vitally wrong with the lumber business when the price of lum ber decreases, while all commodities used in the manufacture of lumber in crease. EiniWH Survey Favored. He saw a hopeful sign, however, in the present attitude of the Government "toward big business generally and toward the lumber business in partic ular." He enumerated the Federal Trade Commission, the Foreign Rela tions Commission and the Federal re serve system as "Governmental institu tions that have been especially helpful to the lumber business. The plan of the Government to send a group of ex perts to Europe to study the possibili ties of the lumber market following the war also was commended. Mr. Keith told of the work being done by the Southern Pine association, and likewise praised the co-operative spirit now displayed by the Federal Government, contrasting it with the spirit in previous years "when it was anVthing but helpful." He ventured, though, that the attitude of the lum bermen toward the Government may have changed so as to permit the Gov ernment to co-operate. Mr. Keith asserted that lumbermen must learn more about their own busi ness if they expect the public to be come interested in the use of lumber. Many producers, he said, don't know how much their lumber costs them. The need for an advance in price is mani fest, he pointed out. when the purchas ing power of a unit of lumber now is contrasted with the purchasing power a few years ago. Mr. Goodman detailed the experi ences of the Wisconsin lumbermen in finding markets for their products. He said that advertising has been a won derful help In their trade-extension plans. He insisted that the way to sell lumber is to reach the consumer; that lumber is not sold when It Is transferred from the manufacturer to the broker or the wholesaler. Ships Are. eeeary. Captain Dollar was an unexpected guest at the dinner, but received a rousing welcome when he was intro duced. He talked about foreign trade particularly, inasmuch as he is en gaged in operating a line of steamers between North America and the Orient. "Foreign trade," he said, "is the safety valve of the lumber trade. It absorbs the surplus, but the secret of foreign trade is return cargo. We must buy as well as sell. But you must have ships. The ship owner Is the best drummer for trade you can have." Captain Dollar, like some of the other speakers, commended the co-operative spirit of the Government. He told how a party of ship owners held a meeting in Washington a few years ago. were invited to the White House, where they explained their purposes to the Presi dent. Since then, he said, the Adminis tration has experienced a change of heart and offered valuable assistance to those Americans who are seeking to build up the foreign trade of the coun try. He continued, that the Webb bill, now pending in Congress, will be of ma terial help in this connection, inas much as it will permit groups of small manufacturers and merchants to pool their interests in establishing foreign commerce. The Federal reserve bank ing system. he explained. permits American banks to conduct branches In foreign countries, thereby stimulating trade activities. Captain Dollar was characteristically outspoken In his denunciation of the La Follette seamen's bill and declared that had it been strictly enforced it would have driven every American ship from the seas. I'But before the election." he said, "the word was sent out not to enforce it. and American vessels were able to do some business." He related an incident In connection with a recent visit to Japan. The Japa nese ship owners had obtained in terpretations of the La Follette bill and saw that it would not affect them, in asmuch as their officers and crews all are Japanese, speaking one language. But American vessels, with white offi cers and Chinese crews, are seriously affected. "Why, this bill gives us iwhat Japan has dreamed of these many years con trol of the. Paclnc, they told Captain Dollar. "You are right. It does." he replied. They could not believe, he explained. that the United States Congress actual ly legislated the United States ship owners out of business. Mr. Allen and Mr. Bloedel spoke briefly, following which William A. Thompson, director of the bureau of advertising of the American Newspaper Publishers' Asso ciation, discussed the advantage of ad vertising in promoting the lumber busi ness. The visiting lumbermen will go to the plant of the Nehalem Timber & Log ging Company on the Astoria line of the North Bank road today, returning to Portland at 5 o'clock tonight. They will leave at 8 o'clock for San Fran cisco. .... . Special Point Is Made of Fact Avia trlx Had to Dip Aeroplane as , Gasoline Ran Low In Order to Make It Plow. NEW YORK, Not 20. Miss Ruth Law ended her record-breaking aero plane flight from Chicago when she landed at Governor's Island here at 9:40 A. M. She was greeted upon her arrival by Major-General Leonard Wood and Mrs. Wood, and, as the aviatrlx was considerably chilled by her ride. she was taken to the home of one of the Army officers for recuperation. The flight was made under the aus pices of the Aero Club of America. In making their official statement that the American non-stop cross country record was won by Miss Law, as well as the world's record in that classification for women and the sec ond best world's record fop men and women. Aero Club officers expressed surprise at the difficulties with which she had to contend in making the flight. A special point was made of the fact that she frequently had to dip her machine in order to make the gas oline run down In the carburetor from the tanks, which are placed too low to feed automatically when the supply ebbs past a certain point. Even Dlpplnjc Xearly Falls. . The statement quoted Miss Law as saying that as she approached New York her gasoline supply was getting so low that "even the feeding by dip ping was getting less effective." She said she was getting ready to land iu the city streets if necessary. The distance by which Miss Law bet tered Carlstrom's American record was given by the club as 138 miles; the dis tance covered today from Blnghamton to New York at 152 miles, plus about 20 miles added by zigzags, and the time was given as two hours li minutes and 33 seconds. The record-breaking flight terminated at Governor's Island, after stops at Hornell and Blnghamton. N. Y. The final 152 miles from Blnghamton to this city was covered this morning in two hours and 20 minutes, and the en tire journey, 8.12 miles in an airplane, in the actual flying time of nine hours and one minute. Miss Law had little to say about her flight except that she had to fly much lower than she wanted to on account of the haze. It was the cause of re mark among those who examined her machine here that its structure was such as to expose her to the air more than in the case of most modern air planes. The pilot's seat is placed on a projection in front of the machine, so that the avlatrix gets the full force of the wind. Miss Law bettered Victor Carlstrom's record by about 100 miles, making the o90 miles in an airline from Chicago to Hornell, N. Y where she arrived yes terday, without stopping. Carlstrom's machine protected him from the icy winds. American Keeorda Shattered. Miss Law, guiding a Curtiss biplane of the old military scout type, shat tered all American long-distance avia tion records for a single flight, when she flew from Chicago to Hornell. a distance by railroad of about 660 miles. A delayed start and a cross-wind that cut down her speed and forced her to descend to replenish the gaso line supply were responsible for her failure to reach New York City with out a stop. Previously Miss Law had never made a single flight longer than 25 miles. Her machine, a small biplane, has a spread of wings less than half that of the one Carlstrom used. It was not specially designed for the occasion. Miss Law covered a distance of about 785 miles in six hours and 50 minutes, time being deducted for the descent at Hornell. The first 662 miles, the dis tance by rail between Chicago and Hornell, was made without a stop. Miss Law's experience has been Rained wholly in short exhibition flights. Her flight was held under the auspices of the Aero Club of America. It Is unofficially, estimated that Miss Law's average speed for the entire trip was 92 miles an hour.
