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

aa the lower portion Is to have a pas

Through the effort of the Lower

convenient to Ituell atreot and Mis

of this depot la considered a greet gain

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

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

Efforts have been made to extend Kir

to get a street direct to the Broadway

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

this tract of land, which haa been a
wedge In th development of the dis

Owners of tha tract ara not spending

In time thla large trart will be used

advantage of I-ower Alblna. It la con

lower portion for the past ten years,
but apartmenta and business build

Mississippi or Alblna avenue will be

which stand on Goldsmith and Rail

of various kinds.

This Kewanee Garbage Burner isn't a' great,' big, unwieldy affair. It is a compact

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.
