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

Almost out of -the flames of the
Falls Chalet destroyed by fire In Jan
uary is to arise another and finer
chalet during the next sirf weeks. 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.

Is no use mincing words. That is. the
plain English of these numerous tales
of woe. FAIR PLAY.

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. Mrs. Sllngsby, .Dibble
said, is overjoyed at the successful j
culmination or tne- suit ana nas ex
pressed keen pleasure atthe prospect
of once more returning fo.her former
home in Victoria, B. C. 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

London the case wasudeclded favorable
to Teddy withijHa short time. By this

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. He said that recom
