Annual Food Bills of 7 Lead
ing Portland Hostelries
Total $350,000.
FARMERS GET IT ALL
Ho ad Bond Argument Is That Good
Highways Will Greatly Add to
Number of "Visitors and
Bring In Much Money.
Be-ven of Portland's leading- hotels
annually disburse among Oregon pro
ducers $350,000 for the products of the
farm. Of that total at least $210,000
is distributed direct to the small
farmer for poultry, butter, eggs, milk,
cream and vegetables. The remaining
$40,000 is paid out for ham, bacon, fish
and fresh meat.
These figures are not complete, in
that they do not show all that the
tourist travel in this state means to
the Oregon farmer. They do not in
clude the expenditures of any of the
numerous restaurants and cafeterias
for the same products. It is a well
known fact that many tourists regis
ter at hotels and patronize either an
independent grill, restaurant or cafe
teria for their meals. Were these fig
ures available, the grand total of busi
ness enjoyed by the Oregon farmer di
rectly from the tourist business would
be greatly augmented.
Tourist Aid Farmers.
Opponents of the $6,000,000 good
roads bond bill are charging that the
roads to be hard-surfaced under its
provisions will be "tourist" roads, but
the foregoing figures would Indicate
that the farmer is materially interested
in any plan of road construction that
will make more available the market
Portland offers for his products. The
figures as to expenditures for farm
produce include those hotels in Port
land that handle the bulk of the tour
ist travel. ,
In view of these facts the farmer
will require positive proof that he does
not have a common Interest with the
tourist, the merchant and every other
citizens In any movement that has for
its purpose the improvement of roads
making more accessible the market of
this state.
One Yearly Kgg Bill $300.
The proprietor of one Portland hotel I
pays $3000 annually to a farmer from
whom he buys his egg supply, xnis
hotel man gets his eggs under con
tract, paying 33 cents a dozen through
out the year, and he Is entirely satis
fled with the arrangement.
"With the completion of the roads
covered In the bonding bill much of the
tourist business of California, esti
mated to be worth $200,000,000 an
nually, would be attracted to Oregon.
The Increased demand for farm prod
ucts with which to feed these visitors
would justify the cost of building the
permanent roads throughout the state
that would be required for marketing
the Increased farm production," said
Bruce Dennis, executive secretary, at
good roads headquarters in the Selling
building yesterday.

Four Others Brine Actions In Circuit
Court for Separation on Alle

The good home and pleasant pros
pects of married life painted for Mrs.
Letha G. Herald Defore her wedding by
Chester M. Herald were cruel decep
tions. If the allegations of her divorce
complaint filed in the Circuit Court
yesterday are to be believed.
Instead of taking his wife to a cosily
furnished home" of his own after the
wedding, Mr. Herald took her to the
home of her mother-in-law. There she
found, she asserts, that she was sup
posed to work to pay for hex board,
her mother-in-law considering payment
of wedding expenses and for the en
gagement and wedding rings of her
daughter-in-law sufficient contribu
tion in that direction.
This was in 1908.
During their married life, Mrs. Herald
asserts, her husband, although able
bodied, worked about one-third of the
time, and then would spend the money
on tailor-made suits for himself and
expensive hunting trips.
Alimony of $25 a month and custody
of the child is asked.

asked in the Circuit Court by Andrew
E. Brasen from Ida Brasen, Linda Ida

"Hello! Southern Pacific? Well, send
me out a ticket to ban Francisco."
It will be possible, within the next
few days, to give orders like this over
the telephone, as the Southern Pacific
railroad has arranged to establish a
delivery system for the accommodation
of Its passenger patrons. Similar steps
are to be taken in all the larger cities
along the Coast.
Hereafter the busy housewife or the
harassed man of affairs can telephone
for tickets, Pullman reservations or
scrip books and have them delivered
to the home or office by messenger.
Whether It is a demand for transporta
tion around the world, across the con
tinent or merely a quick trip down
the Coast, the ticket agent on the other
end of the telephone will be prepared
to take the order the same as the
grocer or butcher.

The All-Nation Gar
Combining Ideals from Everywhere
Gathered by John W. Bate
The Mitchell has long commanded
a very hi eh place abroad. All the
roads of the world have proved
Mitchell endurance.
In 1913, John W. Bate spent a year
among European makers, to study
their ideals and their standards. And
he has driven cars practically all over
America to study conditions here.
.Cars Too Light
Mr. Bate believes that the average
car is too light. The Jight Six trend
went too far.
So he has worked three years on
Mitchells to double the margins of
safety. The old standard was 50 per
cent over-strength the new is 100
per cent
Over 440 parts are built of tough
ened 'steel. All safety parts are
vastly oversize. All parts which get
a major strain are built , of Chrome
Vanadium. Gears are tested for
50,000 pounds per tooth. The canti
lever springs are so built that not
one has broken in two years.
The result, we believe, is a life
time car. Several Mitchells have
already run over 200,000 miles apiece.
But such standards mean much added
cost in these days of high steeL
How We Pay It
Men wonder how we pay for all
the Mitchell extras. In addition to
100 per cent over-strength, there are
51 extra features. And this year we
add 24 per cent to the cost of luxury
and beauty.
Yet one Mitchell Six Mitchell
Junior sells for $1150 at factory.
The other far undersells any car you
can class with it.
A $4,000,000 Saving
The reason lies in a $4,000,000 fac
tory saving, due to Bate efficiency
methods.
John W. Bate is a famous efficiency
expert. He has spent years and
millions on this Mitchell plant. Every
building, every machine has been

adapted to build this one type eco
nomically. His methods will save us on this
year's output about $4,000,000. That
is what pays for these extras. The
24 per cent added luxury is paid for
by savings in our new body plant
All Cars In One
In the latest Mitchells Mr. Bate com
bines the best from all cars in one.
His endurance standards, we believe,
are the highest yet adopted. Ilia lux
ury standards touch the very limit.
Our body designers studied 257
cars in creating these Mitchell bodies.
You will find here nearly all extrac
tions in a single model. You wll
find 31 features which nearly all cars
omit.
One Size for $1150
Mitchell Junior, with 120-inch wheel
base, sells for $1 150 at factory. It has
a six-cylinder, 40-horsepower motor.
The 7-passenger Mitchell a most
impressive car sells for $1460 at fac
tory. Yet it excels, in many ways,
cars which cost much more.
See these extra values. Judge far
yourself what they mean to you. If
you do that, you will want a Bate
built car.

FARM LABOR IS SCARCE
Airlie Increasing Cultivated Area

AIRLIE. Or.. May S. Scarcity of la
bor on the farms in South Polk Coun
ty is becoming serious as the heart of
the planting season approaches. Teams,
too. for putting in the extra acreage
of grain and other foodstuffs are far
short of the demand. The early short
age in help has caused some hesitancy
by the farmers, as fear is felt about the
necessary help for harvesting the crops.
Additional ground is being added in
every community that will be planted
to foodstuffs, and a shortage In some
kinds of seeds, such as potatoes, was
felt early this week.
