SUPPLY SAVING MADE CITV HOLDS CONTRACTS CIRBIXG GENERAL PRICE ADVANCE. Increased Costs in Some Commodities, However, Add to the City i Maintenance Bill. By reason of a series of contracts for supplies, signed up before general prices began to soar, the city has so far escaped high prices of many com modities, according to a report pre pared yesterday by Municipal Purchas ing Agent - Wood. However, the city lias been hit hard by some advances, which will materially increase main tenance costs for the year. Foreseeing the possibility of rapid advances in prices, a number of con tracts have been signed which will en able the city to get a large part of its principal supplies for a few months to tome at the same rates that existed prior to the beginning of this year. This does not apply to all commodities, however. For fuel oil the city has a contract for this year at 90 cents a barrel. The market price now is $1.25 a barrel. The city has a contract for gasoline at B'.i cents a gallon, while the market has risen to 18 cents. Horseshoe pads have been contracted for from 60 cents to 00 cents a pair. The outside price Is now from 80 cents to $1.10 a pair. A contract has been made until No vember of this year for solid rubber truck tires. Since the contract was tinned there has been a. 15 per cent advance. The city is not, however, protected on pneumatic tires. Rapid advances have been reported. The city buys about $2000 worth of these tires in a year. A quantity of machine steel is re ported to 'be on hand, but probably will not last the year out. This was pur chased at $2.20 a hundred pounds. It is now $4 a hundred. The stationery department is protected on onionskin paper for six months, having a con tract for $2 a ream. The market is now $2.30 a ream. A year's supply of copy sheets. 50,000 sheets, has been put in at 54 cents a thousand. The market price on this is now 80 cents a thousand. A miscellaneous supply of stationery will protect the city on some station ery commodities, but not all. The stock on hand of some of the supplies of this class is ample to carry the city for considerable time, but with others ad vanced prices have to be paid. Miscellaneous paper (oak bond, etc.) has jumped from 18 cents to 2 cents a pound: pencils from $4 a gross to $5.60 a gross; clips from 22 cents to 45 cents a thousand; rubber hands from $1.25 a pound to $1.60 a pound; envelopes advanced from 20 to 30 per cent: pencil carbons from $19.50 to $25 a ream: blueprint papers from $2.45 a roll to $4.25 a roll.

Leaving; Vancouver Barrack for 3Iexice, AmoBThoie Snapped by Camera Man. A picture printed in The Oregonian yesterday morning told an anxious mother in Portland that her son was on the way to the fighting line in Mexico. The mother is Mrs. P. E. Schwabe, of South Portland. The boy is W. Schwabe, a private in the Twenty-first Infantry, a detachment of which passed through Portland on Friday afternoon to the Mexican boundary. The Oregonian photographer obtainiMi a number of pictures of the boys as they waited for a few minutes at the Union Depot. Mrs. Schwabe recognized her son in the pictures. It was the first knowledge that she had of his departure from Vancouver Barracks, where he had been stationed. The order to move came so suddenly that he had no time to notify her. Airs. Schwabe isx proud of her son. While she -says that she did not raise him to be a soldier, she certainly seems pleased with the life that he has chosen. Mrs. Schwabe, as well as the boy. were born in Germany. Her family possesses a notable military record. Her own father won an Iron cross in the Franco-Prussian war in 1870, and many of her other relatives are officers in the German army. My boy always wanted to join the Army," she said yesterday, "and I am glad that he has a chance to do some lighting for his country." . Portland models pose for Spring Style Exhibit.

Consultation Free. y y ifcjjl mrili!lUui ANNOUNCEMEN1 r 1 IT 1 1 Ii Jl MM CHE GREATER PORTLAND ASSOCIATION is an organization of business men, professional men and property owners, believing that in helping each other they are helping themselves and the city. That in asking you to spend your money with the specialty stores they are helping make a bigger, better, busier Portland by developing its business section outward instead of upward. The association stands individu ally and collectively for the definite and direct support of the specialty storey not on a sympathy basis, but on a platform of business sense, the planks of which are: The growth and development of the community are dependent upon the prosperity of the majority rather than the few that the expansion of the city outward instead of upward is an economic factor of importance in the wel fare of the city that many stores well patronized are to be preferred to two or three excessively patronized that more stores increase payrolls and the utility and taxable value of idle property and make a more prosperous city. They believe that the stocks, prices and store service of the spe cialty merchant can be and are equal to those of any merchandising institution, regardless of size or scope, and in this connection believe in the judicious use of newspaper space to tell you about it. V This is the first of a series of business an nouncements prepared by authority of the Executive Board of the. Greater Portland t Association. Number 2 of the series will be entitled, "How Can We till Our Empty Stores?" and will appear in the Portland Daily Journal, Sunday, April 1. Watch for this announcement.
