TIIE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, "PORTLAND,. OCTOBER - 22, 1916. 15 ONLY BY-PRODUCTS HOLD MEAT .STEADY Increase on Hides, Tallow and Other Articles Greater Than on Livestock. RETAIL COST RISING, TOO Crneral Advance Is Likely at Any Time, Intimates' Authority on Marketing, Who Declares Xo Profits Are Being Made. A paradox is reported from the Port land meat markets as a result of the high prices which have been imposed on livestock. Where several cents have been added to the cost of steers, hogs, and calves, per pound, the rise in by products has been so great that in some cases the actual retail prices of meat cuts have been lowered. Pork and mutton are higher this year than last. Although market con ditions vary, the increase can be esti mated at about 10 per cent. The ' increase m hogs has been the most apparent change in the stock market, prices having advanced from 64 cents per pound in 1S13 to 9?i cents, a price that was quoted two weeks ago. Nearly all pork products have advanced, however, in a greater ratio, while pork chops and short ribs have remained nearer to the original price than have the live hogs. Iietail beef prices are not advancing cenerallyv According to the opinion of one meat buyer, who owns one of the largest first-class markets in Portland, the housewife has as many advantages in mea,t cuts as during the .year 1915. Hlne on By-Products I Cause. The reasons for such buying condi tions are explained by the high prices obtained for by-products. "Consider the Trice that is being paid for top steers at the stockyards," said this authority yesterday. "The price that is paid averages around 10 cents for cer tain grades. If there were no by products, the steer dressed would have, to go for about ltt cents. But after the hides have been sold and the tallow and various other by-products utllized there must be- some difference. The meats that are ordinarily packed for export have gone up, along with the other by-products. A number of other prod ucts are obtained from the steer, and the result is that the meat, dressed down to about S6 per cent, is sold around 11 cents a pound. "The conditions in the retail market ere not exactly the same. The margin OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE NOW IS 50 YEARS OLD First Issue of Daily Contains Much Information of Pioneer Oregon Ques tions Before People Then Are Up at Coming Election. OREGON CITY, Or.. Oct. 81. (Spe cial.) Fifty years ago, this month October 27, 1866, to be exact The Oregon City Enterprise came into being. Through its half century of existence, it has chronicled the development of the city, state and Nation. A study of its files carries one from the pioneer Oregon of yes terday to the comfortable, modern Ore gon of today. In those 50 years the Enterprise has seen many changes in ownership, in editors and, with the editors. In policy. The greater part of the time, however, the Enterprise has been steadfastly Republican and it has always stood for the betterment of the town, county and state. The Enterprise is one of the oldest surviving newspapers of the Pacific NorthweM. and the only one of the three newspapers "printed at the pioneer city at the Falls of the Wil lamette, which is still doing business. Pnper Soon Kxpands. IX C. Ireland was the- founder and first editor of the Enterprise. From Oregon City he went to Astoria, where in 1873 he founded the Astorian? His sop, C. L, Ireland, followed the calling of his father and is now publisher of the Sherman County Observer at Moro, The first issue of the Enterprise was four pages and seven columns, but the amount of news and advertising soon forced Mr. Ireland to make it eight columns, although the number ot pages was not increased lor some time. While the half century of the En terprise" existence has brought about many changes In the state, a study oi the first issue of the paper shows "that the same questions which confront the People of today were being discussed then. Dofe-eared. torn and' yellow with age, that first issue is a storehouse of the most interesting information of the early history of the state. The problem of granting lands to promoters of the Oregon Central Rail road Company the Oregon & Califor nia grant lands problem of today in come tax, the development of Oregon resources, the paper mills, then Just established, and, strangest of all, the shipment of American munitions of war to France, are all discussed in that tirst issue. The Oregonian advocated the con struction of a railroad into the state and urged the co-operation of the State Legislature in the enterprise. Mr. Ire land reprinted in the first issue of his paper a two-column discussion from The Oregonian on the question. Throughout the Enterprise of that early date there is mention of The Ore gonian. Pioneers Won 7T-4S. On page two of the issue a news story tells of the defeat of the Clacka mas baseball team by the Pioneers, with a i-to-45 score. Accompanying the game were a banquet at the old Barlow house and a concert by a brass band. The lineup of the Pioneers in cluded Joseph Buchtel. then in the height of his athletic career, who died in Portland only a few weeks ago. Others on the Pioneer nine were: W. K. Witljerell, captain; T. F. Miller" James Steel, J. Upton. Wadhams, Quack enbush, P. DeHuff and F. M. War ren. The Clackamas team was com posed of N. W. Randall, S. P. Pope, George Sheppard, G. Brlggs, George a! Harding. P. Barclay, A. M. Zigler, C. Mason and F. Charman. Newspapers of that day played up their news in a much different manner than the papers of today. . The front page was filled with short clippings, the editorial reprinted from The Ore gonian, a few Jokes and here and there a humorous paragraph, such as: "ay what you will of old maids. men- love is generally more strong than that of the young milk and water creatures, whose hearts .vibrate be tween the joys of wedlock and the dissipations of the ballroom.

The profits-have gone out of the retail meat h-usiness, however, and there is no telling when the increased price of meat in the stock market will force up the retail prices all around. Choice Cnta Coat Less. "One difference in the prices this year is the drop on all the so-called choicer cuts. Housewives "are learning the value of the lower-priced cuts, and the demand for the others is decreasing slightly. Sirloin steaks have remained at about 20 cents, while round steaks have dropped from cents to aJ cents The heavy T-bono is sold at about 30cents. "The cheaper meats contain more nu trition, and would taste better than the other meats if people only knew how to cook them properly. If the art is mastered, these cuts will be found to have more flavor than the others. "Lamb,, veal and pork have not been kept at the same prices as last year. There seems to be a shortage in the market. The cost of grain has gone so high that fewer hogs are being raisedV" WIDOfeSIUDENT, TOO graduatf: ok 20 years ago to ' stidv with son.

The State Fair hat! Just ended when ! the first issue of the Enterprise ap peared and Mr. Ireland reprints half a column from The Oregonian, in which a correspondent of the Portland paper deplored the lack of exhibits. The paper carries advertisements from the pioneer stage companies -of the '50s and '60s. The fare then from Portland to Salem was $5; to Albany, 8; to Corvallis, $10 and to Eugene City, the' Eugene of today, $12. H. W. Cor bett. proprietor of the Oregon Stage Company, announced that his line equipped with new coaches, made daily trips. Early Day Flrmi Appear. Steamers making direct and regular trips between Portland and the Sand wich Isdands. New York and California iPorts are announced in advertisements. Other advertisers of that early day who will be remembered by Pioneer Oregon ians are the People's Transportation Company, C. W. Pope & Company; Wil liam Barlow; Mitchell. olph & Smith, Portland attorneys; John Schram's harness shop and E. B. Kelly. The editor foresees the speedy reunion of the nation in spirit and patriotism. Advised by message from recent ships direct from New York, he says: "The hotels are crowded by buyers from every section, those from the South and Southwest predominating. The solid, substantial business men are thus rap Idly cementing the Union, in spite of the politicans and demagogues, and It is somewhat surprising to note the general good feeling, which is every where manifest on the part of 'North erners' and 'Southerners.' From the manner in which they transact busi ness and the mutual respect which is shown. It would scarcely be believed that the two sections were so lately at war." Edward E. Brodie took over the En terprise in 1908 and in 1912 he con verted it into a daily. He has steadily enlarged the plant until it is now con sidered one of the best all-around printing establishments in the state outside of Portland. The plant is ca pable of making anything from rub ber stamps to circus posters. An up-to-date bookbinding department was added by Mr. Brodie since he assumed control. Mr. Brodie has twice been elected president of the Oregon State Editorial Association. ' . ' ' Jt - 1 2 1 ' "s& - 'it J ' $ 1 tu 7-A Edward E. Brodie, Whose Paper f I Celebratea Both Birthday.

Lmub Prohibition. i- ELLENSBURG, Wash.. Oct. 21. (Spe cial.) Governor Lister today In his campaign in Kittitas County told the people of the state that he would sub mit his candidacy for re-election upon the record he has made since he be came Governor. He made two ad dresses in Ellensburg and one at Thorp. The meeting scheduled for Koslyn and Cle Klum had to be canceled, as the Governor, due to accidents to his auto mobile, could not reach there In time. Governor Lister continued his attack upon initiative measures 18 'and 24, the brewers' and hotelmen's bills, and declared that the attempt to pass these laws was the last and desperate at tempt of liquor interests to sain lost ground. Governor Lister Is devoting most of his address to a discussion of these measures and Is advocating the defeat of all referendum measures. "The defeat of these, measures, of the constitutional amendment which gives only to taxpayers the right to vote on all bond issues and the defeat of initiative measures three, four and five, which attempt to take away from the people the right of initiative, ref erendum and recall, are of such im portance," declared the Governor, in his Ellensburg address, "that I am urging the people to vote against all the referendums, even if I did sign several of them. "I give to the Clayton bill passed by Congress my unqualified approval and believe that it will aid greatly in allaying friction between capital and labor, and for that reason I am urging that referendum measure number six be i - Chandler ' Will .December HE price of the famous Chandler Six will be advanced December 1st, 1916, and the present Chandler Model in . every essential way will be continued for the f brthcom season. We have always listed the Chandler car 'at the lowest possible price consistent with manufacturing costs in volved in producing this high grade automobile. We had hoped earlier this season in spite of advancing costs of material to be able to continue the present $1295 price. But conditions in the industry have now come to a point where this is impossible. Our production costs today are fifteen and one quarter percent (15K) higher than one year ago. Our profit margin per car has always been small. And the price must, therefore, be advanced to make compensation for increased production charges. You may purchase your Chandler car now with the assur ance of a marked saving in purchase price, and with the equally important assurance that your Chandler car, purchased now, will be up-to-date next spring. . Distinctly superior Chandler features include the "Marvelous Motor" which with minor refinements from time to time has distinguished the Chandler car for four years past and which will be continued in the forthcoming series for next season; genuine Bosch high tension mag neto, the highest priced and niost efficient form of ignition; Gray & Davis separate unit electric starting and lighting system; silent chain drive for motor shafts; solid cast aluminum motor base, extending from frame to frame; spiral bevel gear rear axle; and, the most beautiful of all modern body designs.
