THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 29. 1915. CHEH ALIS MAN SAYS HOG RAISING LOSING .. GAME FOR CHILDREN Farmers on High Priced Land - Must Take Low Prices, . : Correspondent Declares. PREVIOUS CASr IS CITED Votes and Mortffg-. (Htm In FormM Days for Sob. Jcalled to " Stockralaara. Chehalln, Wash.. March 27. To the Editor of The Journal. Stocfcraisers In western Washington and western Oregon on higher priced land feed and taxes are forced to take as low prices - for their meat stock here as Califor nia, Utah and Idaho growers get -at their home points. That Is, Portland and-, Puget sound packers stand the freight charges where there la out- ' side competition and make us ' take ; what we can get and sell stock below cost. . ' t. I enclose copy of what I wrote to tha Oregonlan a month ago which they have Just returned with their tardy reply, declining to print. My letter follows: A, recent Portland paper says a Mr. Jacob y, near Camas, Wash., in Clarke county superior court, has sued a neighbor for an Injunction and $195 cash 'damages for keeping pigs near him. If any person In any city In ' this state keeps pigs within Its limits, no matter how cleanly, they are pret ty sure of .a prompt visit from the marshal and his deputies, also the health officer, with all the threats and promises of punishment they can think of. : In another column of eane issue the same paper announces children's Pig clubs, otherwise a lottery, whereby in stead of a ticket the children of Walla Walla, Columbia and Umatilla counties buy a '""pig and next Septem ber are promised $5, $10, $15 or $20 prizes by a meat and cold storage com pany and a City Swine & Cattle com pany. Another Oregonlan states soma of the bankers of Oregon are working - on similar lines except that thejt, are to have the privileges of loaning the money" to buy those pigs on bankable notes. Inducements Are Offered. - They also stata Portland men are offering sows at $18 to $25 each to the children of their, vicinity, bankable notes for the pigs to be given by the children and their parents. Nearly . all the farmers and grain raisers of the - state remember with sorrow the notes and mortgages they gave many years ago to about these same people to buy bows that were shipped by car loads and tralr. loads into eastern Washington and Oregon on apparently very attractive terms and extra light freight rates. Nor will they ever for get when the hosts of pigs they raised : ifrom those sows had great appetites that h"ad to be satisfied on very high priced grain anr as. "soon as they coild possibly be fitted for market there was no market. - - In Chehalis, midway between Port land and the sound, growers with 60 choice fat pigs could only get 3T . cents per pound dressed and had to . peddla the meat to their neighbors at that and right now in spite of the war, of high cost of living, they are peddling them at 8 cents dressed. Every housewife knows of the. Inter ... ests that got those train loads of owg shipped west and are trying to ; get so many of the children to raise . pigs. . If they get the fat pigs they will take in fat profit from the sale of lard, hams and bacon. They even charge as much for the spareribs and heads as the dressed pork brings. Wasting Time; Is Assertion. ; Why . lure children Into a losing game that they would not" waste their -time in trying to foist onto farmers and stockmen who know the business and who now would gladly sell their sows at less prices and with less sign ers on the notes. A recent editorial In. Breeders Gazette, which shows cat tlemen suffer as ' badly as cattle raisers, says: Grilling the packers. That a tre mendous power for good !or- evil In re spect to the business of meat making In this country Is lodged In the hands ' of the leading killers is silf-evident. Their strong arms around the Indus try at all times. Not only do they -own and operate the greatest plants at the leading markets, but they con trol the stockyards at various import , ant points. The ramifications of their :. activities throughout the' domain of transportation and distribution few - can accurately define. Their power Is apparent. . It is charged that they have used It unsparingly throughout this winter of the stockmen's discon tent with ruthless disregard of the fact that they were putting producers "out of business! It is claimed that instead of discounting prices on these forced sales they should have put their mighty shoulders under" the ma,ket ", during a "storm" like that ofr the third week of December, and by the expendi ture of an -extra-million helped their New Chalet Will Be Perched Uigk in Hills . K k e K t Plucky Woman Is Undismayed ty Fire Crwn Point from Columbia river, showing site, marked by cross, of Crown Point Chalet, which Mrs. M. E. Henderson has just started to erect in place of the Falls Chalet destroyed by fire in. January last. Mrs. Henderson was the originator of Chanticler Inn as well as the; wayside Inn that was re cently destroyed. ' The new Chalet will be completed and open for business within next six weeks. rr f ' - ' " ' i ' ,;.'' ' ' - V' ; -, s - ' .' -, ' t--.

This time, however, it is going to be perched above the Columbia highway the dis tance of a city block from Crown Point, the finest viewpoint on the Columbia. Mrs. M. ii Henderson, who origi nated " he now . celebrated Chanticler Inn and who ran "the Falls Chalet, is to be the proprietor of the Crown Point Chalet, as this new wayside Inn will be called. Most women would'have found the loss if their business property an al most Insuperable obstacle but not Mrs. Henderson. Although her Falls Chalet no small investment was burned to the ground, although fire took the roof from over her head and Wiped out a year's supply of homemade jams, jellies and the like, she proceeded with out a single second's loss of time to make plans for a new place of bus iness. The embers of the Falls Chalet Were scarce cold before she tackled the task of financing a new venture. Day after day she put the proposition up to Portland business men. Doggedly and pluckily she made her arrangements and plans -to such a good end that work of clearing the site began Saturday and the first load of lumber, will be taken to Crown Point today. And Mrs. Henderson Jias not stopped just because the means have been found to put up the building but has moved out to the site personally to supervise the work, of construction. She will live in a tent and with her assistants will provide for the carpen ters at work on the chalet. The land itself for the chalet has been donated by Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Wiseman and construction has been jfl- Phot Copyright by Gifford nanced largely by Mrs. Henderson's selling dinner tickets to be valid after the chalet is completed. Crown Point Chalet will cost about $5000 complete and will be a two-story building of the bungalow type. F. D. Axtel, a Gresham contractor, who has had large experience tn constructing buildings along the Columbia, is the builder and the chalet will be put up with special reference to protection from the winds that sweep through the river gorges. Crown Point is about 23 miles from Portland and is considered the finest viewpoint along the Columbia highway. On the top of the point itself will be a city park with promenade, the site having been given to the city by Osman Royal some time ago. Mrs. Henderson hopes to be ready to receive guests within six weeks, but whenever the chalet is finished It will be a testimonial to pure grit. silent partners, the great army of un organized and distressed sellers, out of the depths of an unprecedented sit uation. It is alleged that they could thereby have demonstrated-an Interest in sustaining livestock production in this country. Instead of jumping upon feeders in their dire- extremity and sending them home to nurse their wrath and to seek other ways and means of recouping tl. dollars thus feloneously filched from them. There Is no use mincing words. That is. the plain English of these numerous tales of woe. FAIR PLAY.

They Are to Make Their. Home in Victoria1 After j Settling California Case. (Pacific JJews Serrlce.) San Francisco, March 29. Oliver' Dibble, chief counsel for the Slingsbys ' in San Francisco, received word today j of the arrival in New York of Mrs. I Charles R, Sllngsby and 4-year-old Teddy Sllngsby, the central figure In the famous "substitute baby" case. They will arrive in San Francisco j within a week.

L Mrs. Sllngsby and '.Teofdy will re main in San Francisco only a few days before going direct to British Colum bia, according to a letter Dibble has received from Lieutenant Charles Sllngsby. He expects that Mrs. Sllngsby will bring with her a full ac count of the proceedings in the case after it left local courts for decision In England. Teddy and his mother will establish a home in Victoria, while Lieutenant Slingsby awaits in London an oppor tunity to go to the front. So far the lieutenant has been unsuccessful in bis efforts to see actual fighting. Re cruiting and clerical work are his present occupations in theservlce of his country. That Teddy was not Mrs. Sllngsby's son, but a baby substituted for Mrs. Slingsby's child, who. it was alleged, died after birth in San Francisco in the fall of 1910, was the charge of the contesting! heirs in the case. The con test was fought here for a consider able period with every Indication pointing to success for Teddy's oppo nents.

Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad j will build down the Tilton river west , of Morton to connect with the roaa oi the Onalaska Lumber company, the Carlysle - Pennell concern which has erected a large sawmill 21 miles due west of Morton. Added significance is given to this announcement by the industrial activity at Napavine. where a company has been Incorporated for the express purpose of developing that vicinity. Local people who have .been watching this matter closely for some time have felt right along that sooner or later the Milwaukee would build down the Tilton. One of the officials of the Milwaukee Land company, who was in Morton few days ago, con firmed the statement that the line will be thus extended? probably not later than 1916.
