20 THE MOItXIXG OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 8, 1917. REALTORS' SPECIAL WILL LEAVE TODAY Sessions of Interstate Realty Association Open Tomorrow in Grays Harbor Cities. OREGON WILL SEND 150 Many Portlanders Names on Pro gramme for Addresses F. E. Taylor Refuses to Be Can didate for Re-election. When the Portland special train leaves the Union Depot at 1:30 o'clock today over the O.-W. R. & N. tracks for AberdeD and Boqulam, Wash., where the sessions of the Interstate Realty Association' will open tomorrow, ap proximately 150 Oregonians, made up for the most part of Portland realtors and their families, will be aboard. A. C. Callan. chairman of the spe cial committee of the Portland Realty Board in charge of the arrangements for the trip to the convention, said last night that a considerable number would leave by automobile either to day or later in the week. Including the full Portland delegation and the representatives from Pendleton, Mosier, Hood- River, Salem, Albany, Eugene, Grants Pass, as well as from a num ber of Idaho points, the full strength of the crowd leaving Portland by train and motor will probably embrace near ly 200 persons. In a number of in stances the Portland realtors will be accompanied by their wives and chil dren. Governor Will Go Today. Governor Withycombe, who Is on the convention programme for an address at tomorrow's session, will leave with the Portland delegation today, return ing at the end of tomorrow's session. John M. . Mann, City Commissioner, Is also scheduled to leave today, but Mayor Baker and Mrs. Baker probably will not leave until Friday. Mr." Baker and H.' M. Cake, of Portland, are on the banquet programme for the Friday evening session. Paul A. Cowgill, of Portland, secre tary of the Interstate Realty Associa tion, who is already In Aberdeen and Hoquiam making arrangements for the convention, notified F. E. Taylor, of Portland, who is president of the inter state association, by telegraph yester day that the success of the coming convention was assured. "Everybody here is working In harmony and at high pressure," re ports Mr. Cowgill In hrs telegram to Mr. Taylor. "All arrangements are well in hand. No further changes in pro gramme expected. Exceptionally fine entertainment planned. Plenty of funds already collected. Hope Portland will do herself credit and send large dele gation." Portlanders on Programme, In addition to President Taylor, Sec retary Cowgill, Governor Withycombe, Mayor Baker and H. M. Cake. Fred erick H. Strong, manager of the Ladd Estate, and Paul C. Murphy, of the Laurelhurst Company, both of Port land, are on the convention programme for formal speeches. Just where the 1918 convention will go is still to be decided, but common gossip indicates some Washington city. Possibly Spokane, or Tacoma will land the plum. Despite the solicitations of his many friends F. E. Taylor, who played an important part In the or ganization of the Interstate association a year ago, insists that he will not allow his name to be presented for re election as president of the associa tion and this honor also will probably go to Washington, It is predicted. - Ticket Buyers Listed.

Dairy conditions and prospects in and near Portland will be the subject of a meeting Friday morning of dairy men in the Elizabethan room of the Imperial Hotel. The meeting has been called by Alma D. Katz, an- insurance man who is also a milk producer. Mr. Katz has directed the following letter to producers of milk and butter fat: Prior to the commencement of the war dairymen as a rule were not receiving com pensation for their own services or fair return upon the property used in their busi ness. Since the commencement of the war everything which the dairyman needs and pays money for has more than aouDiea in value, but the price of milk has not ma terially increased. Under such conditions the dairying Industry cannot survive, and the feed conditions lor the coming winter are discouraging. The time has arrived for a full, frank and fair discussion on the part of those in terested in the industry as to what steps can and should be taken for the purpose of placing the industry on a basis on which it may continue. The meeting place. Imperial Hotel, Eliza bethan room, main floor; time. 10 A M. Friday, August 10. Someone has to take the Initiative in a movement of this kind. The movement has been long enough delayed already, and the above stater, ent of facts should be suf ficient justification for my signature to this communication.

Costs Will Be Met. : Definite assurance was received by Mayor Baker yesterday from mill oper ators that slabwood prices are at their highest point now unless some unex pected condition arises to require fur ther price advances. The assurance was -given at a con ference held in the office of Mayor Baker, attended by operators or repre sentatives of the principal mills of the citv except those which already have their output of slabwood definitely tied up by contract. The millmen declared that the ad van re a in slabwood prices so far have been Justified because of the increased cost of labor, transportation ana many other Items which go to make up the cost of handling the fuel from the saws to the consumer. II I eh Prices to Continue. The millmen agreed that if condi tions do not change seriously the prices being charged now will prevail during the Winter. They said they can see no reason for any increases at this time or under existing conditions. "The only reason is," said Mayor Baker, "that the city faces a fuel short age and the mills could easily take advantage and boost prices. What I want to know from you people is what you expect to do. If . you feel that you are getting a fair profit now, there certainly is no occasion for further In creases and we .want assurance that there will- be no increases unless they are for reasons which will be appar ent." . .. . . The millmen, among whom was E. D. Kingsley, of the West Oregon Lum ber Company, took the . position that the mills could exercise such tactics at present. Production Cost Blazned. "The fact that we are not," said Mr. Kingsley, "is an indication that we do not wish to take advantage of the unusual conditions. We have had to raise prices somewhat because the cost of producing and handling slabwood has gone up. Slab fuel crfsts lis approx imately J1.25 a cord more now than it did a year ago." The dealers were agreed that the puiIic could rest assured that slabwood prices will not be Increased any more unless there is some unusual necessity. Mayor Baker agreed that if it be came apparent that the cost- of produc tion or handling had gone up, further Increases would be Justified, but under any other conditions they would neither be Justified nor tolerated if the city naa tne power 10 sxop mem.
