HERE ONLY IN PORTLAND Famous Sampeck p Suits for B oys You hear a good deal about changing qualities of boys' clothing these days and increasing prices. And it is true. Many manufacturers have been forced to sacrifice quality to maintain a price. And you can not blame them, for the change had to come in one or other of these essentials. BUT Sampeck quality remains unchanged. Sampeck clothes are today, as over thirty years ago, "The Standard of America" in boys' clothing. And prices have advanced only very slightly, if at all. The advance is infinitesimal compared with the diffi " culty of securing proper materials, proper skill, to maintain the Sampeck standard of excellence. Boys and Parents both prefer Sampeck. The boys want these celebrated clothes for style and vim and dash. Parents want them for quality and appearance and service. Sampecks are the ideal clothes for your boy. Many of the fancy Sampeck suits have two pairs of pants the double-service fea ture. All sizes for boys 6 to 18 years. $10 to $22.50 many "stops" in between. Boys' Clothing Shop, Third Floor.

Relatives of Portland Man Say Sugar la 2.50 Per Pound and Shoes Coat From $-45 to S75. - "Yes, madam, this beef Is exceptlon , ally good. Only $1 a pound. Two pounds? Very well, madam. Anything else?" How would you like to hear from the butcher in this strain? That is the way they greet the housewives in Russia these days, ac- cording to a letter received recently by J. Weinsten, of 885 4 Second street. from relatives living: near Odessa, on .the Black Sea. The letter left Russia " June 7 and was received In Portland November !. The purchasing power of a ruble in Russia is said to be equal to the . purchasing power of a dollar In Amer ... ica, so that the strain of the war on : Ituaaia may be estimated by the ex traordinary high prices prevalent. A pound of beef, says the letter, costs a ruble, or 100 kopecks, or Jl, accord ing to comparative estimates. Soap rates a little higher, belne $1.20 a pound. Sugar may be bought for $2.50 a pound, black bread 13 cents, herring 50 cents and butter $2.20 a pound. Chickens change hands at 6 or 7 rubles apiece, ducks at 8 rabies and geese at 15 rubles. A pair of shoes costs from $45 to $75 "and everything In propor tion." The district including Odessa has al ways been considered a rich country, but It is evidently finding the high cost of living problem a real one. Offenders to Be Prosecuted. WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.

TI06A TIMBER MENACED WARDENS FIND EVIDENCE OF 1Z INCENDIARY FIRES. Two Men, Suspected of Being I. "V. W., Discovered in Heart of Forest, Vn able to Explain Presence. MARSHFIELD, Or.. Nov. 16. (Spe cial.) Two deputy fire wardens en gaged in secret work returned from the Tioga timber district and state they found positive evidence of fire setting by supposed I. W. W. after a survey of seven days in that section. They en countered two men who could not ex plain their reasons for being In the timber area, 30 miles from habitation, possessing no arms nor traps. The wardens found about 12 places where fires had been set om. -evidently with the Intention of burning the h.avy fir timber in that section, but the in cendiaries were not woodsmen and did not understand setting fires so they would spread. . The strangers were engaged in. con versation for an hour and questioned thoroughly. They would admit noth ing nor Kive any excuse for being In the timber. At first they said they were trapping, but could not show any traps. Then they were hunters, but they had no guns. The wardens started mem towards Roseburg. with a warning they would be shot If caught setting fires, firing a number of shot In the air to keep their speed up. The wardens were unable to arrest them and return them to Coos Bay, since they had a large fire in the head waters of the North Coquille to handle. This occupied three days and two sec tions were burned over before the flames were controlled. The timber belongs to the Buehner Lumber Company. .One section was balsam fir and not valuable. The sec ond section was old growth fir, ' but the damage is not believed to be ex tensive. The strangers, who were taken for I. W. W., admitted they were from Washington. They had entered the woods on the Tioga trail near the Co quille hatchery and evidently had not gone far from the trail at any locality, convincing the men who tracked them down they were not familiar with forests. BEEF BUYERS ARE SHY Read The Oregpnian classified ads. PRICES HIGH. YET DEALER SAYS . THERE IS NO MARKET. People of I'nlted States Declared t Be In Hands of Clique f Meat Packers. SAN FRANCISCO. NovJ 16. (Special.) With the Government asking the public to observe one meatless day every week and the retail price of beef the highest that It has ever been. D. K. Eastman, special representative of General Obregon and the leading cat tlemen of Mexico, now here, states that he has not been able to find a market fty 60.000 head of prime beef cattle in San Francisco or Los Angeles. "There Is one thing that I cannot un derstand," Eastman said today. "I am offering 50,000 head of Mexican beef cattle, minimum weight 800 pounds, for $48, delivered in Los Angelas or San Franicsco, which is 6 ceq Is a pound, and- in-all cases- I a tj -med down. The butchers say their chill rooms and storages are loaded, that their yards and feed lots are full, and they give various other reasons. If a market Is found, five times that much could be delivered. The people of the United States are In hands of a clique of meat - packers who dictate where they shall buy their meat and how much they shall pay. "The price of shoes has advanced 20 per cent and the dealers Bay it is the scarcity of leather; yet we have 10.000 horse and burro hides, but absolutely no market for them." Eastman has appealed his case to the state food administrator. LICENSE IS NOT ISSUED Vancouver Caller With Air of Mys tery Not Accommodated. VANCOUVER. Wash., Nov. 15. (Spe cial.)
