PROPOSAL TO HELP
F
Riverview Lot Owners Ex
pected to Agree.
MEETING NEXT MONDAY
Kb Formal Action to Be Taken Un
til Session When Problem
AVill Be Attacked.
That Riverview Cemetery associa
tion lot owners will authorize the
programme outlined- briefly by Strong:
& M-acN'aughton in a report to a com
mittee of five members, read at a
meeting in central library last Mon
day afternoon. In an effort to rehabilitate-
the financial condition of
the organization, appears to be the
prevailing: sentiment since the ses
sion, when it was made known pub
licly for the first time that its af
fairs were in a very unsatisfactory
shape. No formal action will be
taken until next Monday at 3 o'clock,
when an adjourned meeting- will en
deavor to Iron out the situation.
Strong- & MacNaughton made a re
port a.t the request of the associa
tion's authorized-commltte of five lot
owners, none of whom are. trustees.
This they did gratis for the purpose
icf endeavoring to provide some defi
nite method of rehabilitation of the
finances. It recommends several
eteoa looking: toward this end, chief
among- which is that certain property
owned) by the association be platted
and put on the market to furnish
ifunds with which to take care of
.other features.
By-Law la Not Carried Oat.
Originally the founders of River
view cemetery prescribed that 30 per
cent of the receipts from the sale of
lots Should go into an irreducible
fund, the purpose of which was to
perpetuate the grounds on the high
standard outlined by the purchasers.
According- to tho frank statements of
the trustees at the last meeting,
however, it had been found Impos
sible to comply with this by-law and
the state cemetery act In this re
spect, and it had been abrogated and.
the act amended and there is no ir
reducible fund.
The first major recommendation
submitted by Strong- & MacNaughton
Is that the association abandon abso
lutely any thought of developing the
easterly portion of the land lying
south of the present developed ceme
tery on account of its abruptness of
contour and consequent excessive
costs. The second recommendation is
that the westerly portion of the land
lying south of the present developed
pemetery be held for future decision
aj to its use.
At present it cannot be sold for
residential purposes and probably
will not be good for that purpose at
any time because of its close prox
imity to several cemeteries and the
distance from transportation, the re
port says. In future, however, it may
be found profitable for use as ceme
tery property, as the association's
roads now nearly reach it, and the
irreducible overhead is capable of
caring for more ground and the fixed
investment in buildings, etc., is also
held sufficient.
Liquidation I Proponed.
The third recommendation is that
the balance of the land be set aside
at once for liquidation. This includes
the river front, the land facing- the
Macadam road and some of the high
land at the extreme south end; that
only the land facing the Macadam
road be immediately placed on the
market, and that no money be spent
on roads to develop the back property
until the success of the front is as
sured and funds received from that
source for future development; that
the property be platted for future de
velopment and the land which is to be
actively put on sale be cleared suffi
ciently to protect the view of the
property in the rear. It is very dif
ficult,, to estimate the return from
such a eelling programme because of
the sluggish market. However, the
opinion is that the property facing
the road will sell even on this mar
ket. From the sale of properties as rec
ommended, the report estimates a
total revenue of $182,000, on the basis
of sale, of land abutting Macadam
road and 100 acres In the balance of
what is technically known as tract A
nd river frontage.
Deficit Now Is 17312.
There is a present net deficit of
$17,812, the report states. In the
opinion of the compilers of the re
port, this deficit may be met as fol
lows: Up to December 20, 1921, lots
were sold to the extent of $16,121.
If prices are Increased 60 per cent,
In accordance with one of the minor
recommendations, the 1922 sales
would yield $24,186 and the operating
deficit will disappear. In case this
is done, it will be necessary to push
sales, and this is urged. There are
at present unsold lots to the amount
of $95,000, which should be Increased
to list $142,000 under the plan sub
mitted. This would provide suffi
cient funds to care for operating
deficit until the liquidation pro
gramme on unimproved lands is
worked out.
As to the land to be liquidated,
the report says it should be done
substantially in four years' time.
Analysis Not Attempted.
Strong & MacNaughton, in the pre-J
lude to the financial report proper,
have the following- to say as to the
fundamental difficulty with the asso
ciation's affairs:
"We will attempt no analysis of L
the reason why the cemetery associ
ation finds itself in Its present finan
cial condition, as the purpose of this
report is to point out ways of cor
recting this condition. We do want to
say, however, that the fault lies in
the far past in that the prices estab
lished for the lots was not sufficient
ly high to produce the money neces
sary to carry out the plan which was
laid out. We mean no reflection on
the originators of the cemetery, who
are acknowledged to be the biggest
and best that this town has pro
duced. It was simply not lm their
power to foresee the great Increase
that was to come In the cost of de
veloping the land and maintaining
the cemetery."
There have been issued and unre
deemed bonds to the extent of $115.
00, maturing July 1, 1930, according
to the report. All of these have been
purchased and are now held by the
association, and, gays the report,
show on both sides of the assets and
liabilities statement. It is held that
there is no practical reason why these
bonds should not be retired and can
celed and the property deeded to the
cemetery association by the trustees
under the mortgage.

ALLACE REID, Gloria Swanson
and Elliott Dexter form a win
ning combination as the stars
of "Dont Tell Everything," now in
its second week at the Columbia
theater. The picture seems to bo
the sort upon which audiences look
with favor, since It has been play
ing to crowded houses.
The stars are of as much Interest
in "Don't Tell Everything" as the
story. Wallace Reid always makes
a dashing young lover and in this
picture he has a chance to show his
charming smile and his persuasive
power with the ladles to splendid
advantage.
Beautiful Gloria Swanson has the
role of Marian Westover, supposedly
a typical American girl, "who Is
romantic at heart, but won't admit It."
Miss Swanson wears some stunning
frocks In this Picture, which all wom
en will admire.
Elliott Dexter plays Harvey Gilroy,
the hero's best friend, who is not
one bit a villain, but a philosophical
bachelor, eager to help the hero out
of his tangled love affairs. Dorothy
Cumming is Jessica Ramsey, the girl
who says she regards all men as
pals, but who tries very hard to win
the handsome hero for herself.
The story keeps away from heavy
drama, and the question of the eternal
triangle is presented in whimsical,
rather than serious fashion. At the
close of the story Jessica is the only
one not thoroughly happy.
The titles are full of entertaining'
philosophy on love and lovers and
do much to excuse some obvious im
probabilities In the plot.
Many of the Bettings are out-of-doors

MEAT PRIME ASKED
HIGH COST HELD THREAT TO
PUBLIC HEALTH.
Resolutions Recommending Inves
tigation Are Adopted at Sa
lem Conference.
Meeting at Salem yesterday, the
state board of health adopted a set of
resolutions calling for an investiga
tion by "some competent authority"
or by district attorneys, grand juries
or other officials or official bodies,
basing their action upon the declara
tion that th-e present high cost of
meats and other factors necessary to
the preservation of the proper phys
ical well-being of the people is
threatening public health.
The resolutions concluded with the
recommndation that "every step be
taken to bring prices paid by the
consumer to a reasonable level with
the prices received by the producer."
The resolution recited that the
'board of health is charged with the
supervision of all matters relating to
preservation of life and conservation
of health In the state and sets forth
that there has been a lowering of the
wages of the average worker and
that producers of foodstuffs in many
Instances are receiving less for their
product than cost of production.
Other declarations contained in the
resolutions were: "The present retail
price of beef are entirely beyond rea
son, when compared with that re
ceived by the producer; meat is neces
sary to sustain and nourish the citi
zens; undernourishment means dis
ease and poverty; the health of the
community must be guarded; the fu
ture of the country Is dependent upon
not only the mother and child, but of
the citizens as a whole; the continu
ance of this apparent Injustice is a
matter which Is not in line with the
principles of our government."
STEEL WORK BIDS ASKED
Construction of Two Sewers on East
Side Also "Proposed.
Bids have been called for two street
improvement projects and the con
struction of two sewers in Eust Port

by Commission.
$33,900 PREMIUM PAID
Meeting Is Somewhat Desultory,
With It. A. Booth, Chuirman,
Missing Through Illness.
Half a dozen bids were received by
the state highway commission yes
terday for $1,000,000 of S per. cent
road bonds. The best offer was
rremium of $33,900 for the lot, making
a 4.68 basis, which is not quite as
good as the 4.55 basis for a block
sold in December.
The bonds were awarded to a syn
dicate composed of Ralph Schneeloch,
.-tacey c Braun, Eldridge & Co.,
Kessell-Klnnicutt company, and the
Anglo Loudon & Paris bank of San
Francisco.
It was a somewhat desultory meet
ing that the highway commission
held, with R. A. Booth, chairman.
absent on account of illness. Dis
tricf Forester Cecil and Charles L.
Purcell of the bureau of public roads
asked that the commission indicate
what co-operative projects they wish
taken up this year under the new
federal aid law, and a meeting to dis
cuss this topic will be held Friday
when Mr. Booth will be on hand.
a.mo.OOO Asked From State.
In considering the Trail-Prospect
section of the Crater lake highway,
W. A. Barratt, commissioner, tenta
tively proposed that the state con
tribute 300,000 to the 1150,000 of
forest money for grading and bridges.
Mr. Cecil thought this might be ac
ceptable at Washington, providing
that the state does not ask for co
operation when the time comes for
surfacing this road.
It developed that plans for a road
Into the Salmon r'ver country in
Lincoln county will receive no as
sistance from Tillamook county as
the latter is now using every avail
able dollar to build a beach highway
to Clatsop county. Mr. Cecil intends
seeing if a road .cannot be built by
forest money from Dolph to Salmon
river.
John B. Yeon and his colleague.
Commissioner Barratt. let it be known
that the highway commission expects
Multnomah to make good on its gen
tlemen's agreement relative to the
Mount Hood loop. The commission
doesn't care what sort of county
money Multnomah puts into the loop
so long as the state is reimbursed for
what It has advanced for the county.
Multnomah county commissioners are
not held responsible for the failure to
make good on the agreement, the re
sponsibility being placed on the de
cision of the tax supervising and con
servation commission. All in good
time, the highway commission intends
taking steps in the matter and the
commissioners haven't the slightest
doubt as to the ultimate liquidation
of the obligation.
18-Foot Paving; Is Policy.
Mr.. Purcell announced that the gov
ernment policy is for 18-foot pave
ments, saying the government con
siders a 16-foot pavement .s not a
two-way road. This, however, and
other matters are to be taken up at
the Friday conference.
Heretofore the secretary of state
has controlled the policing of the
state highways. At the special ses
sion of the legislature police power
was placed with the highway com
mission. Secretary Kozei and the
commissioners got together yesterday
and effected an amicable arrange
ment for mutual control of the high
ways and Chief Inspector Rafferty,
who has been head of Mr. Kozer s
flying squadron, will also represent
the highway commission. The latter,
however, intends to empower some of
Its departmental men to assist in en
forcing the highway regulations as
needed.
Cornell Project Is Tabled.
At the request of the proponents of
the proposed Cornell highway im
provement district, that project was
laid on the table. Plans had been ar
ranged and maps prepared and the
preliminaries were moving along nice
ly when, last Saturday night, a crowd
of farmers in the district met at Mc
Kinley schoolhouse and went on rec
ord against having the district cre
ated. It was the first time that such
thing has happened in the history
of the commission and the proponents
of the . improvement explained that
the price of potatoes and wheat is
such that the farmers object to the
cost of a better road, muc.i as the im
provement is needed.
The commission has prepared tne
following projects, which have been
tentatively selected for federal co
operation: Paving, Albany to Tangent;
Sexton mountain, Halsey to Harris-
burg; Myrtle creek to Canyonville
McMinnville to Amity, Holmes gap to
Rickreall. Monmouth to Benton coun
tv line. Surfacing, La Grande to Ka
mela,' Nelson to Huntington, Baker
county line to Weiser, units 1 and 3
on Mount Hood loop. Grading, Sarvis
creek section of John Day highway;
Deadman's pass to Kamela, on old
Oregon trail.

BUTTER UNO EGGS DROP
MILD WINTER CAUSES RISE IN
PRODUCTION.
Demand for Products Also Said to
Be Less Than Year Ago.
Imports Are Large.
Wholesale butter and egg prices are
falling here, as in other parts of the
country. Mild winter weather is re
sponsible for a rapid increase in pro
duction and at the same time the de
mand for these products is said to be
lighter than it wis a year ago. In
the east owners of cold-storage eggs
are trying to unload their holdings
before it is too late, and this is help
ing to send prices down.
There are not many eggs left in
Portland storages, but the local mar
ket feels the effect of the cut In
prices in the east. Yesterday the Poul
try Producers, the selling agency of
the organized egg raisers of Oregon,
announced a reduction to 35 cents
wholesale for the best grade of large
white eggs and to 33 cents for the
next grade.
Butter prices will decline 4 cents
a pound to 35 cents wholesale this
morning. The butter market is not
only suffering from the sudden in
crease in home production, but has
also been affected by the importation
of several million pounds of butter
from Australia and New Zealand.
PLANT SITE OBTAINED

A deal was completed yesterday
whereby the Colby Compression Tube
company, of which G. It. Colby is
president, becomes the owner of the

rage. The purchase price was given
as $35,000.
The property is bought as the per
manent home of the Colby Com
pressed Tube company's plant, and It

pacity of 100 tires a day. About 20
men will be employed, said Mr. Colby.
As soon as plans can be completed, a
second story is to be added to the
building and other changes made, at
a cost of about $12,000.

Why
Cemeteries Are
Transitory
In practically every large city the history of cemeteries is dis
mally the same. First comes financial embarrassment, second
neglect, and then destruction, to make way for the needs of the
living.
By their very natures it can be hardly otherwise, because ceme
teries cannot give our dead the tender care and the lasting pro
tection that are the due of every, loved one.
The reasons are obvious. First, they who rest in cemeteries are
prey to the merciless and unheeding elements. Secondly, suc
ceeding generations have no compunctions if their interests are
best served by a cemetery's obliteration.
These facts go far toward explaining why thinking people are
turning to the modern, cleanly and reverent methods Crema
tion or Vault Entombment. It explains, too, why many are re
moving their dead from cemeteries for the tender and PERMA
NENT PROTECTION these incomparably better ways afford.

began to feel mean and my back
hurt me and I could hardly do my
little bit of housework. I was
played out when I would justsweep
one room and would have to rest I
would have to put a cushion behind
me when I would sit down and at
night I could not sleep unless I had
something under my back. I had
awSul cramps every month and was
just nearly all in. Finally my hus
band said to me one day, 'Why.
don't you try Lydia E. Pinkham's
medicine?' and I said, '1 am willing
to take anything if I could get well
again.' So I took one bottle and a
second one and felt better and the
neighbors askod me what I waado

finished my eighth bottle and I can
not express to you how I feel, the
