chased last year. The plans have been
drawn for this structure and In some
respects it will resemble the East
Portland Library building, on East Al
der and East Eleventh streets. The
cost will be I3S.000. It will be provided
with an auditorium, which haa proved
to be a popular feature in the East
Portland branch. Also, an effort will
be made to get a park for the Alblna
diatrlct and one or more playgrounds.
On the whole, the outlook for a good
growth In the Alblna district this yesr
is considered encouraging, especially
aa the lower portion Is to have a pas

ness, which haa centered on the Eat
Side.
Through the effort of the Lower
Alblna Push Club the O.-W. R. A .V.
baa decided to erect a passenger depot
at tha anatheaat corner of lull road and
Randolph streets and haa cleared the
rrounds preparatory to tfee erection of

nounced that all train" except tha
Fhaata Umlted win atop at this depot,
located on Railroad and Randolph
streets the passenger depot will be
convenient to Ituell atreot and Mis
sissippi avenue, the principal business
streets of that diatrlct and within
easy reach of the public. Tha location
of this depot la considered a greet gain
lor Alblna.
Another progressive movement that
haa been successful I the programme
for better freight facilities so that
shippers not be required to make
the long and cipensiv haul across tha
ferries to North Portland. First. It I
proposed to establish a team-track
street on which car lota will be re
ceived and discharged. River street
haa been selected aa thla team-track
street because of Its being near tha
river and connecting wltn tha two
ferries. It la the Judgment of the
railroad committee. Kdward PnWyl,
Joseph Shannon and W. V. George, of
the Alblna Improvement Club, and F.
Isan. of the railroad company, that
Hlver street is the best avenue for
tam trackage In Lower Alblna. It
already contains a track, which con
reefs m-lth the main line of tha O.-W

extensive Improvements, which consist
In leveling the hills and filling op tha

other purposes. Hydraulic power la

rltv. Through It there are no streets.
Efforts have been made to extend Kir
by atreet through the center In order
to get a street direct to the Broadway
bridge, but It haa not met with much
success thus far. George Brown, rep
resenting the owners, offered an ease
tnent for a viaduct through tha tract,
limited to ten years, but thla la not
considered satisfactory. Just what the
outcome will be remalna to be devel
oped. However, the Improvement of
this tract of land, which haa been a
wedge In th development of the dis
trict, means considerable progress.
Owners of tha tract ara not spending
their money for nothing, of course, and
In time thla large trart will be used
for business purposes, to tha gain and
advantage of I-ower Alblna. It la con
ceded that Lower. Alblna present ad
vantagea for factory and wholesale
purposes, owing to the superior rail
road facilities there.
Settlement of the Alblna district haa
been moving "up the hill" north and
east for a number of years, ao practic
ally no homes have been built In tha
lower portion for the past ten years,
but apartmenta and business build
ings have been erected. It la consid
er rd certain that the district aa far aa
Mississippi or Alblna avenue will be
come a factory district In the course of
time, and the many old structures
which stand on Goldsmith and Rail
road streets will give place to factories
of various kinds.

It Is believed Kerby cannot ba

which would be 1100 feet long If con

Rats and mice and disease vermin would be driven from the residential

This Kewanee Garbage Burner isn't a' great,' big, unwieldy affair. It is a compact
steel chamber of medium size and it will fit comfortably in the smallest basement. It not only burns
the garbage, meat scraps and debris but all this matter is turned into fuel and heats the water in the
hot-water tank. This reduces your fuel cost from SO to Jfl per cent. It burns fresh garbage while it is wet
burns it without a particle of odor. And the burner will outlast your building. It is economy and health

John Strucken. or Cleonp. Assert
That Under Present System Pro
ducers Are Helpless Distrib
uting Plan Suggested.
By following a system of account-
inir on his dalrv farm lor an enure
year. John Strucken. of Cleone. has
compiled statistics to demonstrate that
the producer of milk and butter tat naa
been getting a revenue of about 30 per
cent and the middlemen 70 per cent.
bAseri on the market prices paid by
Mnmnuri for dairy nroaucia. au.
Strucken kept a careful record ot
Dense on nis iarm uui-iub mo
...a- .nd has found that, under the
nresent system of marketing dairy
nroducts he has suffered a nnanciai
loss, while the middlemen were able t
reap substantial proms.
Mr Strucken nolnts out that con
turners are compelled to pay high
prices for dairy products and will con
tinue to do so as long as present selling
and distributing conditions prevail. He
says that the consumers and ine pro
ducers are losers, while the middlemen
pocket the only profits. This situation
is one of the causes of the high cost of
living, says Mr. Strucken.
"Under conditions that have pre
vailed In the past, owners of dairy
herds have been getting the worst of
the deal." said Mr. Strucken. "On the
other hand, the consumers' have been
compelled to pay higher prices than
they should. There is only one solu
tion of the problem and that Is that
the owners of dairy herds must get to
gether and organize their own selling
and delivery forces. A central agency
could be established in Portland by
which milk and other dairy products
could be delivered directly . to con
sumers. By this means we would be
able to sell milk at a nominal price
and at the same time make a legitimate
profit tor- ourselves."
Plans for the organization of an as
sociation among dairy herd owners
have been discussed and It is expected
that definite action will be taken soon.
The statistics compiled by Mr.
Strucken show what was produced each
month on his farm, the gross revenue,
and the cost of feeding and caring for
each cow.
During 1911 Mr. Strucken's five cows
returned an average revenue of $108.35
and the calves $10, making a total of
$118.35.
The cost of feeding each cow 25
pounds of hay and eight pounds of
shorts a day average for the year
$91. 90. The cost of milking and taking
care of each cow amounted to $36 for
the year.
The total cost for each cow for the
year amounted ' to $127.10 while the
product from each cow amounted to
$118.35, leaving a deficit of $8.75. These
figures are based on actual mark
The retail price per quart, according
to prices that prevailed in Portland
last year. Would bring the actual rev
enue of this herd to $3906.72. The fig
ures show that what Mr. Strucken re.
ceived from his products and what the
consumers ultimately paid for the
products amounts to a difference ot
$2604.48 in favor of the retailer and dls
tributer.

One of the most important deals In
