WW
LL BANQUET
Annual Dinner Scheduled for
November 17.
ATTENDANCE GAIN MADE
1919 livent Said to Have Had 3Iore
Displays Than Entered in
Any Previous Showing.
After what was probably the most
successful exhibit in the history of
the association, the Portland food
show came to an end Saturday night.
J'or ten days the displays at the ar
mory enoweu tiie iiiivl ui icn
inade and Orepon-hanilled foodstuffs
to the housewives and citizens who
thronged the show each afternoon and
evening.
While the floor space was not as
great this year as in the past in one
or two instances, the number of
booths was greater, numbering 65, as
compared with the highest previous
record of 57. The attendance also was
record-breaking this year, approxi
mately SO per cent more visiting the
1'Jl'J show than attended the .last ex
hibit in 1917.
The annual food show gives one of
the best opportunities of the year to
view many of the Oregon-made prod
ucts which are finding popularity and
increasing sale, not only throughout
this t-tate, but also throughout the
northwest and frequently throughout
the entire country. While the show is
not limited to Oregon products, the
Oregon manufacturers are always on
hand and wide awake to the oppor
tunity existing thfough the show of
bringing more people in touch with
their goods. Oregon jobbers who
handle the finest of outside manu
factured articles also have winning
displays each year, and the past year
was no exception to the rule.
At the show this year patent flour
and mill products were particularly
in evidence and from many corners of
the big hall emanated the appetizing
odor of frying hot cakes or cookies.
l"airy products, practically all Oregon-made,
also were frequent at the
exhibit, including such articles as
evaporated eggs, storage eggs, oleo
margarine, and other storage products
that the Oregon housewives are be
ginning to become more accustomed
to in their determined fight against
the high cost of living.
To celebrate the success of this
year's show a dinner has been an
nounced for Alonday evening, Novem
ber 17, at which the members of the
Ketail Grocers' association and the
exhibitors at the recent show will be
in attendance. A programme of in
terest to Portland jobbers and manu
facturers is promised, and plans will
be discussed for increasing interest
in matters pertaining to the asso
ciation and the food show, and for
improving the show still further when
it is held in the fail of 130.
Establishment of a meat packing
plant in Portland, to specialize in
beef and pork products, was an
nounced last week, and construction
of the plant will he started in a hort
time. Through the Fred V. German
Realty company the concern, Oberle
and Nelson Packing company, has
purchased a tract of five and three
quarters acres at the northwest
corner of Columbia boulevard and
Vancouver avenue. Plans now are
being drawn by J. P. Wildman, local
architect, and a modern two-story
packing plant will be erected. The
most modern machinery obtainable
is to be installed, it is said, and the
concern will add approximately 20
persons to the city's payroll.
Officers of the firm say they ex
pect a wide demand for their product
and plans are being made for enlarg
ing the plant when there is demand.
. The plans will be so constructed that
additional stories can be built and
additional machinery installed.
. .
Oregon cheese, already nationally
known and sold, will be boosted fur
ther through the placing on the mar
ket recently of a new pimento cheese
by the Mutual Creamery company.
The cheese bids fair to be the last
word in delicacies of this kind and is
fast achieving popularity. It is one
of the famous "Maid O'Clover" prod
ucts and Is officially named "lunch
eon cheese pimento."
The reason this new product of the
Mutual Creamery promises to develop
the cheese Industry of Oregon still
more is that the Portland branch of
the concern has been called upon to
furnish this cheese to all branches of
the creamery company throughout the
eight states in which it operates on a
large scale. The local plant will man
ufacture the product for the entire
business of the company, and Oregon
made cheese will be used exclusively
Another product brought out by the
Mutual Creamery company this year
and meeting with approval is the
Paro Seal eggs. These eggs are treat
ed for storage on the same principal
that the housewife treats eggs when
she puts them up in water glass, that
or closing all the pores and prevent
ing evaporation. The Paro Seal eggs
are sealed by submerging for a few
seconds in hot paraffine. The mo
mentary heat kills all germs on the
shell and the liquid paraffine closes
the pores.
"We were recently greatly gratified
by hearing that the government had
recognized Paro Seal eggs for Alaska
use," said Manager Howard of the
Portland branch. "The new govern
ment specifications for eggs to be
used by government parties in the far
north call for "Paro Seal eggs or the
equal thereof." We felt this to bo
particularly complimentary to our
product when we think that it ha
been on the market less than one
year."
H. C. L KEEPS EGGS UP
EXPERT SAYS IIEXS XOB PRO
DUCERS CONTROL PRICES.
Flocks Lay About- as Usual, But
Ilig-h Cost of Feed, Labor and
Staples Held Responsible.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL-
L.iL.ijts, (jorvallis. Nov. 9. (Special.)
Oregon hens are not on a strike nor
are producers profiteering. Portland
egg consumers should blame the
H. C. L., according to James Dryden;
professor of poultry husbandry at the
college, and originator of high-egg
producing strains.
"The egg consumers of Portland are
paying a pretty good price for eggs
said Protessor Dryden, but prices in
San Francisco and Seattle are near
ly 10 cents a dozen more for select
eggs' than in Portland, while farther
north at Vancouver prices are 20
cents a dozen higher than in Port
land. The daily newspaper quotations
show this. Prices at New York and
Boston are also much higher while
over in England good eggs cost $1.25
or more a dozen.
"It is true that poultrymen who
have good flocks of layers and give
them good care every day in Jthe year
are making a profit, but when they
go to pay themselves for their labor
at prevailing prices for labor, 75 or
80 cents a dozen for eggs does not
mean any more to them than 40 or
50 cents a dozen did a few .years ago.
"Cost of feeding the hens, in fact,
is about double what it was during
pre-war times and feed is the main
item in the cost of producing eggs.
When poultry keepers can buy
cheaper feed, cheaper shoes and
cheaper everything, they will be able
to produce cheaper eggs. The ex
ceptional expert who can make his
flock lay 150 eggs a hen or better
in a year is doing very well, but the
great majority of poultry keepers
whose hens lay about 100 eggs a year
are making very little profit, if any."
TOLL GRIEVANCES HEARD
Warrenton and Hammond Resi
dents Say Charges Excessive.
ASTORIA, Or., Nov. 9. (Special.)
At a special session Saturday morning
between the chamber members and
Manager Erunold of the Pacific Tele
phone company, the charges made by

tion between these points now costs

tional charge of 10 cents for the re
turn call. It is possible that the com
plaints made by the west side peo
ple may be referred to the Oregon
public service commission at its meet
ing in Portland on November 12.
RESTAURANT MAN ROBBED
Oriental in lleppncr Loses $269
and Revolver.
HEPPNER, Or., Nov. 9. (Special.)
The first burglary of the season in
Heppner was committed Friday night
when "China Charlie," proprietor of
the Portland restaurant, was robbed
of J269 and a revolver. Charlie was
preparingto close his place for the
night and went to his bedroom in the
rear of the restaurant and placed his
money and gun under his pillow. Re

gun missing.

fied and tracks discovered under the
window were followed to Main street
where they were lost. This was Hepp
ner's first important burglary in two
years.
HEPPNER HIT BY STRIKE
Coal Sliortr.ge Forces Power Plant
to Run Short Hours.
HEPPNER. Or., Nov. 9. (Special.)
-Heppner is feeling the effect of the
coal strike, the shortage of fuel hav
ing forced the Heppner Light &
Water company to cut it's light and
power service from 24 hours a day
to eight.
The plant closes at midnight, runs
a couple of hours in the morning to
allow citizens to get breakfast and
then closes until 4 P. M.
Several cars of coal for the com
pany shipped from Utah before the
strike commenced are unaccounted
for, being lost or confiscated. Hepp
ner and lone both depend on this
company for their water supply, and
should the fuel shortage continue
long the situation will be serious.

that appertains to salesmanship has
no place in the theory of scientific
credit granting. It is realized that
the great bulk of business transac-
lions are lounacu, rosterea, promoted I
and retired on confidence. The mu
tual trust between fellow men must
necessarily be the basis of credit.
The Portland association is one
of the pioneer branches of the na
tional association, organized in 189S,
three years after the formation of the
national, body. From its inception
the local organization has been active
and persistent. The Portland bureau
now has a staff of 19 employes and
maintains for the benefit of its mem
bers reporting, adjustment and legal
departments.
Last week a campaign for new
members was launched in an effort
to double its present membership.
Ji is estimated that there are not
less than 500 manufacturers, whole
salers, jobbers and bankers not now
members, a majority of whom it is
expected will be signed up.

Education Campalmi Made.
Through a campaign of education
an effort Is being made to acquaint
not only its members but those with
whom they come in contact with the
ethics and practice of the honest, ef
ficient and successful conduct of busi
ness. In the field of local accomplish
ment, the association has a splendid
record. It was directly responsible
for the fire marshal ordinance en
acted in 1914. During that year fire
losses in Portland amounted to $ti.89
per capita. Through the enactment
of the law and campaign carried on
by the association losses were re
duced and in 1917 was reduced to 9
cents per capita. Due to the pro-
