' FIRST" SHIPMENT COMING Bis Mill I Sending Large Quantity or Flrst-Cl Product to Coast. Imposition of Inferior Goods on -Buyer Condemned. Oregon wool for Oregon sweaters. cow promised In abundant supply, will pat an end to the troubles the Red Crocs knitters have been experiencing. A larre quantity of purs Oregon wool has been made Into yam by one of the big mills In the East, and the first ship ments are coming In. There will soon be more than enough for everyone. Experts pronounce Ita quality superior to the best Eastern wool yarns and far ahead of the ordinary sort that knitters acre have been supplied with. Besides, it will cost no more than the poor Lantern yarns that have been on sale. The high prices of some knitting yerns ani talk of still higher prices re not Justified. In the opinion of T, K. Kelt of the Portland Wool Ware house Company, who has had many years' experience as a woolen manufac turer. He said yesterday: Isaeasttla Is Deaaee4. "No advance In the price of knitting yarn has been .occasioned by the In crease In the cost of wool since July. The supply of wool hm been ample for all requirements. The imposition of worthless yarn upon patriotic knitters has ben entirely unnecessary, and the production of sweaters and socks with Inferior material now declared use less, as recently announced in news papers Is wholly without Justification. "The Uoston Commercial- Bulletin. In the annual report, shows that the amount of unsold domestic wool In the Inlted States on January 1. 1917. was . 111.314 pounds, while on January 1. 11. there was 6J.1SM12 pounds. The amount of wool offered to manufac turers now exceeds that of this time la yesr by over one million pound "It is estimated that one-sixth of the total amount of unsold domestic wool Is now stored In Portland, not hoarded, not held off the market on speculation. but freely offered at current market prices.

"The tremendous Increase of Impor titions of south American wool. amounting; to over 10.tuo.oo pounds excess of former years, and the exten sive use of shodly in military goods nave cut down wool retirements pro portions! el v. "Recently a buyer for one of the larcer spinning plants, sfter securing a larsre line of cheap wool from speculative dealer, was asked how. In the face- of reduction In the cost of the Inferior grade of wool, he had pur- chased for yarn production, he Justi fied constant advance In the price of yarn. He replied. 'I don t Justify It at all. We manufacture what the trade demands low-priced yarn and take Increasing profit offered ua through the bidding against each other of hun dreds of new and inexperienced buy era endeavoring to supply knitting auxiliaries, who fall to realise they are wasting their time In the use of that which they consider cheap yarn. They want low-priced stuff, and we glva It to - them.- Part la ad Issawrtaat Market.

Eastern papers, commencing on -the amount of wool now in Portland, assert that It Is held at prohibitive prices, contributing to the alleged shortage of wool and causing- manufacturers necessarily to advance prices. ."This la untrue. It is a fact that con siderable wool has been sold at (0 to i cents quite recently, but It Is also true that large lines have been aold below 4S cents, while the price of aver age good -clips ranges from St. to 5 rents In the grease. uu buyers nave been free pur chasers here on the Boston basis of clean, scoured wool, paying In the grease 1 cent less per pound than the Boston "price, being the freight ex pense East- Baatra Lsses . Baslaeaa. "The resentment manifest ' in some quarters by claims that wool - Is hoarded" in Portland Is occasioned by the fact that Boston dealers, lose busi ness by the 'establishment of a new Western market In which manufactur ers btry more directly from growers on the Boston price basis. Several of the largest manufacturers have beep heavy buyers of ths st Northwestern wools la Portland. "One consented to give Oregon the benefit of growing the best quality of combing wool for 'the production of hand knitting yarn by its use In one of Its mills.. which is now shlppln. the highest, grade of knitting yarn spun In America. to Portland for distribution throughout Oregon.

"T-want to get hold' of my: children.1 After almost three months of silence and search, the desire of David Ben son. an Clark street, to trace and re cover his three children led ' him to give publicity yesterday to the convic tion - that his wife ran away with Henry Mueller, former member-of the Ihlrd Oregon, on October-He. - Slowly, but carefully, Mr. Benson has pieced together the evidence 'he has laid'befone the District.

The quota of Portland is J50.000. Gen eral of the drive la J. D. Farrell, with Guy W. Talbot and J. E. Coman, as colonels, and Senator I. N. Day direct ing field work. Headquarters have been opened at 228-233 Morgan build ing. The dates set for the drive are January 14 to 20. under the direction and authority of the War Department and the Navy Department, the Knights of Columbus have built and are maintaining 73 halls for the American soldiers and sailors in this country and General Pershing has arranged that this work be ex tended abroad with the American over seas forces. To the Knights of Colum bus and the Y. M. C. A. the Govern ment has assigned the task of provid ing recreation centers for the men within the camps, placing them on an equal basis and looking to them to strengthen the morale of the men. The war work of the Knights of Co- umbus is nonsectarian. On every build- ng is the sign, "Everybody Welcome." No distinction is made as to religious or other-affiliation. The highest Gov ernment authorities and innumerable officers and men in the service have testified to the practical work of . the Knights of Columbus. There is noth ing but harmony and co-operation be tween the Toung Men's Christian Asso ciation and the Knights of Columbus, and the field of endeavor is so vast that there is no duplication of expense or effort. Greater Fund Needed. Originally the Knights of Columbus supposed that a recreation hall In each of the 16 camps would be sufficient, but the commission of training camp activities of the War Department urged that the work be enlarged, and this necessitated a change in plans and a larger sum of money. Now the Knights of Columbus halls are to follow the American- troops to the western front under authority of General Pershing. So rapidly has the undertaking de veloped that it has been impossible to arrange for a simultaneous National drive and each state is taking up the task on such dates as are designated by their respective- State Councils of Defense. Machinery for the Knights of Colum bus drive has been quietly assembled during the pant week, so as not to in terfere with the success of the drive for the T. W. C. A., the Fosdick Com mission and 'the hostess houses. The organization is now practically com plete and will be put in motion Monday night at a dinner held at the Hotel Portland at 6:15 o'clock, when the cap tains and team workers of the down town districts are assembled. The cost of this dinner does not come out of the f 0,000, but Is otherwise taken care of. Every dollar of the Knights of Columbus war fund goes to direct war work.. Prominent Mn Aaslat.
