r
An Increase of 35 cents a hundred
weight for raw milk delivered to the
distributors in Portland by the pro
ducers and an increase in the retail
price of milk from 12 cents to 13Vi
cents for quarts and from cents to 9
cents for single pints were recommen
dations made yesterday by the City
Milk Commission, composed of Henry E.
Reed, Mrs. W. B. Ayer and William L.
Brewster.
The new prices recommended are to
become effective Monday, July 1," and
the adjustment points to a settlement
of the controversy which has been rag
ing for several weeks past between
milk distributors and the Oregon
Dairymen's League.
The announcement of the purchase of
the plant and business of the Portland
Dairy Association by the Oregon Dairy
men's League also was made yesterday.
The Portland Dairy Association, plant
is located at 212 Second street and was
owned by S. II. Graham. The Oregon.
Dairymen's League plans to sell to
dealers and distributors and sell any
surplus through milk depots to be esi
tabiished. Recommendation Are Made.
The announcement that the Oregon
Dairymen's League had decided to go
into the milk distribution business in
Portland followed the announcement
Friday that the Portland-Damascus
Milk Company had passed into the con
trol of William D. Wheelwright and
his associates.
The recommendations of the Milk
Commission read as follows:
"The City Milk Commission, consist
ing of Henry E. Reed, Mrs. W. B. Ayer
arid William L. Brewster, met Saturday
noon and recommended that beginning
July 1 the city distributors pay the
dairymen $3.3 5 for 100 pounds of milk,
f. o. b. Portland, an increase of 35
cents.
"The Commission also recommends
that the retail price of quarts be in
creased from 12 i cents to 13& cents
and of single pints from 8Ji to 9 cents.
The entire increase paid by the con
sumer is passed on to the dairymen and
none of it goes to the distributor.
ormaI Tears Are Basis.
"The Commission took the years 1911
to 1913 as a period when the dairy
men's business wigp in normal condi
tion and based the increase in price
on the increase in wages, feed and gen
eral expenses of today over the pre
war period."
Immediately following the announce
ment of the new prices by the Milk
Commission the executive committee of
the Oregon Dairymen's League met and
agreed to uphold and abide absolutely
by the findings of the Oregon Dairy
men's League.
Members of the executive committee
held that harmony would result among
milk producers and distributors if
every milk dealer agreed to supply
Portland in conformity with the rec
ommendations of the Commission.
"The Oregon Dairymen's League will
comply with the recommendation of the
commission to the letter," aaid Alma
D. Katz, president of the league, yes.
terday. "We have always complied
with the recommendations of the com
mission and we intend to follow that
policy.
Pure Milk la Promise.
The Oregon Dairymen's League will,
according to Mr. Katz, enlarge the
wholesale milk distribution center of
the Milk Producers' Association and
divert to It a large proportion of the
milk produced by dairymen, members
of the league.
"It will ba the policy of the league,
he said, "to continue to supply the
people of Portland with wholesome,
clean and pure milk of the quality and
standard built up through the years
lnce the pure milk crusade of 1910
"Milk of this character will be fur
nished to such dealers and distributors
as desire it. and any surplus will be
sold direct to the consumers from milk
depots that will be established at vari
ous points throughout the city. Such
equipment as is additionally necessary
to conduct the business upon the large
scale required by the volume of milk
produced by members of the Oregon
Dairymen's League has been tele
graphed for and will arrive in the city
within a few days.
Waste to Be Eliminated.
"Our plant, when enlarged, will haveJ
jl ctkfjdci t.y iui jiuiiiLiiiiK iuiUuv gallons
of milk daily. We will be prepared
to manufacture any surplus into cot
tage cheese, especially milk ekimmed
for its butterfat, which would other
wise be wasted."
The recommendations of the Milk
Commission are not approved by many
members of the Portland Milk Produc
ers' Association, an organization of
men who produce and distribute milk
in Portland. Many of the members of
this organization already are said to
have served notice of an increase to
15 cents a quart and plan to carry this
increase of price into effect tomorrow,
despite the findings of the Milk Com
mission. Increase Deemed Toe Small.
"The increase of three-fourths of a
cent a quart in the retail price of milk
is ridiculous," said F. M. Kiger, presi
dent of the Portland Milk Producers'
Association. "The price of hay has in
creased from $21 to $27 per ton. An
increase from 124 cents to 15 cents
quart will only mean an additional ex
penditure of 75 cents monthly for milk
users.
"Portland milk users should " not
change dairymen because of slight dif
ference in the price of milk.
N FATING tribute to the life of Peter
Autzen, who met his death in an au
tomobile accident on the Skyline
boulevard June 21, George J.Perkins
yesterday recalled many interesting in
cidents in the career of the prominent
Portland timberman and financier. Mr.
Perkins had been attorney for Mr. Aut
zen for a number of years and enjoyed
his Intimate acquaintanceship. He says:
Mr. Autzen - was born of DanlBh parents.
May 18, 1854, in Schleswig-Holstein, when
that province was under Danish rule. Dur
ing the war of 1866 between Denmark and
Germany, ke, though only It years of age,
was sent alone by his father with a four
horse team. to. deliver supplies to tbe Dan
ish soldiers who were then near the German
border to resist the Invasion of their coun
try by the German army.- In an early con
flict. German arms prevailed, resulting; In
a rout of the Danes and choking the high
ways with fleeing men and wreckage of
war. Much to bis father's surprise and de
light, young Peter was the only teamster
to return with his load of provisions all
others overturned and abandoned their wag
ons in an effort to escape capture.
From that time on he nursed a hatred ior
the German military rule. Responsive to
his innate desire for absolute freedom of ac
tion Mr. Autzen came to America soon after
reaching mature manhood and swore allegi
ance to the United States as soon as he
was tn a position to do so.
Home Life Began at Hoqnlsm.
August 6. 1882, he was married to Miss
Anna wnpr.. at San Francisco, and im
mediately departed with his bride for the
Orays Harbor country. In the employ of the
Simpson Lumber Company. The young cou

in the Fall of issi Three children were
born to them; the first died when three
years of age; their daughter Alice (Mrs.
Morris), died in August. 1U17; his wife and
son Thomas survive him.
During his residence at Hoqulam he be
came a prominent factor In the civic and
public life of the urays naroor country. n

and Mayor of Hoqulam and County Com

No effort will be made to entice men

to find men who are suitable timber for
