TO SUPREME BENCH
Justice McCamant Is Said to
Be Ready to Resign in
Favor of Colonel.
TERM EXPIRES IN 1919
GAfJTENBEIfJ MAY GO
In Event That Soldier-Judge Is Ele
vated to Supreme Court, E. V.
Iiittleficld Is to Retain
Circuit Judgeship.
Colonel C. LT. Gantenbein returned
last night from Washington, D. C. He
declined to make any statement as to
his plans. He refused to say 'whether
he would resume his place on the Mult
Jiomah County circuit bench, neither
would he confirm nor deny the rumor
that he might be appointed to the State
Supreme Court in the event of the
resignation of Associate Justice Wal
lace McCamant.
"I have just arrived in the city and
know nothing; of the situation," said
Colonel Gantenbein. "I have no plans.
1 shall reserve making; any statement
until I have had an opportunity to as
certain just what the conditions are.
For that reason I have nothing to say
tonight, particularly with reference to
reports that have been circulated con
cerning me and my plans."
When Mr. McCamant was appointed
to the Supreme Court to succeed th.
late Associate Justice Eakin. Colonel
Gantenbein. then Circuit Judge, was
also a candidate for the place. Upon
accepting the Governor's appointment
Mr. McCamant told close friends that
ho would not be a candidate for election
to that office next year and, it is cjr
rfntly reported, assured his friend.
Colonel Gantenbein, that if he still
should be an aspirant for that office
lie would give him his support.
Within the last week Mr. McCamant
has reiterated that he will not eek
the place in the coming election. This
has given rise to the surmise that Mr.
McCamant intends and will resign from
the Supreme Court about the first of
: the year if he gains the assurance of
Governor Withycombe that he will
name Colonel Gantenbein to complete
the unexpired term of Mr. Eakin for
which Justice McCamant originally was
named. This term will expire Janu
ary 5, 1919.
Judge Littlefield Is Succesnor.
E. V. Littlefield was appointed as
successor of Circuit Judge Gantenbein
on August 29 by Governor Withycombe,
who, in his letter of appointment, said
the selection was made with the under
standing that if Judge Gantenbein re
turned to the state and desired to re
sume the office, the appointee should
relinquish the place. In accepting the
appointment Mr. Littlefield notified
the Governor that if Judge Ganten
bein returned to the state and desired
to return to the Circuit Judgeship prior
to January 1, 1919, the date of expira
tion of his term of office, he would re
linquish the office in accordance with
the Governor's wishes.
A week ago Colonel Gantenbein
telegraphed Judge Littlefield that he
had decided to reject the commission
of Major offered him in the National
Army and retain instead a Colonelcy in
the Reserve Corps. In view of this
decision, he announced that he would
return to Portland, presumably with
the intention of resuming the circuit
judgeship.
Elevation Seems Sore.
Announcement from Salem that
Judge Littlefield has not delivered his
resignation to the Governor, coupled
with- the rumor that the incumbent
has been requested for the present to
withhold his resignation. Is believed to
confirm the report that Colonel Gan
tenbein is to be elevated to the Supreme
Court and will not displace Judge
Littlefield.
Ever since the receipt of Colonel
Gantenbein's telegram. Judge Little
field has been besieged personally and
by letter not to relinquish the judge
ship until formally requested so to do
by the Governor. Many lawyers have
argued with him that it is up to the
Governor, who dictated the conditions
by which Judge Littlefield was ap
pointed, to interpret those conditions
himself and determine when Colonel
Gantenbein had officially returned to
the state and was entitled to resume
the office from which he resigned.
Littlefield to Keep Word.
Discussing this phase of the situa
tion yesterday. Judge Littlefield merely
said that he intended to keep his word
with the Governor and would tender
his resignation as soon as Colonel
Gantenbein had returned to Portland
and indicated when he wished to re
sume his duties as Circuit Judge. It is
known that Judge Littlefield is clear
ing up the work of his court and ar
ranging his affairs preparatory . to sur
rendering the office about December 1.
What his action will be, as already has
been indicated, depends entirely on the
expressed wishes of Colonel Ganten
bein. Should Colonel Gantenbein be ap
pointed to the Supreme Court, Judge
Littlefield would continue as Circuit
Judge until his successor is elected
next year and qualified for the office.

Three years ago the Simon's Salvage Store first opened its doors at 131 First Street. Its
original stock included Groceries and Hardware only. It was founded upon the policy of
economy the policy that merchandise purchased at a low figure should be sold at a low
figure. From the start the thrifty people of Portland realized that a distinctly new kind
of a store SIMON'S SALVAGE STORE had at last come into existence. The response
by thousands of thrifty buyers was almost immediate. Then came the demand upon us

more than twice. Drj- Goods, Clothing and Furnishings were added and later on we
opened the SIMON'S BARGAIN SHOE DEPARTMENT. All these new departments
enjoyed big patronage from the very beginning, and we soon realized that a still larger
store was necessary to take care of the rapidly growing business. After many months
of preparation, we are now pleased to announce that the NEW STORE IS NOW READY

CITY DE
REAPPOINTMENT CONTINGENT
Circuit Judgeship Question Is Left
to Mr. LittleHeld.
SALEM, Or.. Nov. 9. (Special.) "If
Judge Littlefield resigns as Circuit
Judge of Multnomah County. Judge
Gantenbein will be reappointed to "suc
ceed him." This dead-open-and-shut
declaration coming from Governor
"Withycombe today seems to nullify the
effect of any present or prospective
protests against the -naming of Judge
Gantenbein for his old position upon his
return to Portland.
"As I have stated previously," the
Governor continued, "whether Judge
Littlefield resigns is a matter entirely
between himself and Judge Gantenbein.
But when his resignation comes, if it
does. I have no hesitancy in saying that
I will reappoint Judge Gantenbein.
While the Governor did not sayso. it
is known that the executive has a let
ter from Judge Littlefield in which he
states he intends to resign upon the
return of Judge Gantenbein and the
executive has' taken that as final that
Judge Littlefield will resign under
those conditions.
Nothing is said in this letter, and it is
understood that nothing was said in the
aerreement between Judges Littlefield
and, Gantenbein. as to Judge Ganten
bein's postponing his return until the
close of the war.
Governor Withycombe says that he
has received a few letters of protest
against the reappointment of Judge
Gantenbein, but such letters have not
attained the proportions of an organ
ized protest. If petitions to that effect
have been signed, none so far has found
its way to the executive offices.
Objection to Fixing Market

UBLIC BENEFIT MINIMIZED
Purchases Made in Stores and at
Stalls Show No Difference, So
Housekeepers Do Not Get -Middlemen's
Profits.
The city -will fight for the right to
regulate maximum prices charged by
producers in the Yamhill-street public
market. A number of producers have
brought suit in the Circuit Court to
enjoin the city from interfering with
prices. This case will be contested.
Following a recent investigation by
Mayor Baker and City Commissioner
Bigelow, it was found that public mar
ket prices are virtually the same as in
private markets throughout the city.
Commissioner Bigelow accordingly In
structed Market Master Eastman to fix
maximum prices in the market so as
to shave off a little of the profit to the
producers. His action along this line
is the cause of the present injunction
suit.
"As I see the proposition," said Com
missioner Bigelow yesterday, "the deal
ers who are fighting our price-cutting
policy are on unreasonable ground
There is no reason in the world why
producers should go into the public
market and charge as much for their
wares as is charged by stores. In other
words, these dealers want to take all
the profit resulting from their being
purpose of the market is to give at
least a part of this profit to the con
sumer. -
"The city furnishes selling space at
nominal charge and includes light.
water and Janitorial service. In re
turn for this the public is entitled to
lower - prices." '.
Mayor Baker recently had a commit
tee of women make purchases of pro
duce in the public market and similar
produce in various stores in the city.
It was found that prices were virtually
the same all around. He submitted
facts, along this line to Commissioner
Bigelow and after making additional
inquiries he put into effect the order
to shave the maximum prices. No at
tempt is made to fix minimum prices,
the dealers being allowed to go as low
as they wish, but are forbidden to Bell
for more than the maximum price es
tablished.
Those of the producers who are seek
ing to have the city enjoined from fix
ng the maximum prices are B. Blohm,
H. Taylor, Mrs. Riley. Bertha Bishop-
rick, J. H. Harris, Mrs. W. A. Voigt,
K. K. Kaser. F. A. Forbes. F. A. Greg
ory, W. Irving Spencer, A. L. Schwabel.
Mrs. C. O. Hornintz. S. T. Williams,
William McConnell and Mrs. B. G.
Boardman.
