a wide choice of Oregon cherries, ber
ries, peaches, pears, prunes or apples,
no matter how far he may be from the
coast, from civilization or his base
of supplies.
What Is more to the point, the
weather buffetted people of the east
may enjoy all the delights of the fresh,
richly flavored, Oregon fruits and
vegetables.
Invention Is Perfected.
It has Just become known that local
business men W. G. McPherson, Ar-
thur li. Devers and others have per
fected the invention by which the
moisture is taken from Oregon fruits
and vegetables and in this state the
' products are Kept until desired for
use, when making them fresh again
Inyolvee the simple expedient of ad
ding molBture.
These men built last March at Tho
Dalles, one of Oregon's important fruit
and vegetable centers, a "Dri-Fresh"
factory. They have just finished
doubling its capacity.
Impendent upon the product, they
are now able to dry from one to six
tons a day of fruits and vegetables.
The various products have received
the recognition of big eastern buyers,
of governmental purchasing bureaus,
of leading fruiterers and fancy gro
cers. Suggestion Zs Important.
One of the significant features of
the enterprise lies in the suggestion
of what can be done in such other
fruit centers as southern Oregon with
. similar plants.
"W'e simply have found a way of
Utilizing what otherwise might be
wasted of fruits and vegetables and of
bringing forth products capable of
restoration to original freshness and
flavor that markets are eager for to
auch an extent that the demand is con
stantly increasing," said W. O. Mc
Pherson. It was said that there has ben
trouble to get fruit enough. Fruits
from which the moisture is taken aro
apples, apricots, berries, cherries,
peaches, pears and prunes.
Included In the list of vegetables
similarly treated are string beans,
cabbages, cauliflower, celery, corn on
the' cob, onions, parsley, peas, pota
toes, pumpkin. rhubarb, spinach,
quash, sweet potatoes, beets and car
rots. It Is not stated that these fruits and
vegetables are "dehydrated" whole.
The potatoes, for Instance, are sliced
and peeled; so are the beets; the ap
ples are peeled, cored end sliced. The
cabbage is shredded.
The drying process keeps the fruits
and vegetables from dirt and contami
nation and Insects.
TRUNK MURDER
MYSTERY TAKES
STARTLING TURN
(Continued From Page One)
Anderson is a little taller and a
little slimmer than Bartholomew. His
face is somewhat thinner, and he is
younger than Bartholomew.
Besemblaace Is Striking'.
But so closely do the two resemble
each other, that every person in Port
land and the Willamette valley, with
the exception of one, declared that
the picture found In the gTeen trunk,
alongside the nude body of Lind. was
that of Bartholomew.
These witnesses, Mrs. DeCorsey,
landlady of the rooming house at 407
Stsj-k street, where the murder oc
curred, and the proprietor of the Model
Stables, 295 Davis street, where the
rig was secured, supposedly by Bar
tholomew, to transport the) green trunk
to the river, positively (wor before
the grand jury that the picture was
that of the man who killed John Lind.
When Detective Sergeant Joe Day
went to-Albany, two weeks ago, how
ever, to check up clues in the murder
case, be found one man who had been
a close friend of Bartholomew's In
South Dakota. That man saw Bar
tholomew when he, in company with
Lind, was at Albany about three weeks
before the murder was committed.
He looked at the picture shown by
-Day, and then said he did not believe
that it was a picture of Barthlomew.
"If that is George's picture, it was
taken a long time ago." this man told
"the Portland police officer.
Ths postcard picture of Anderson
and Lind, the torn piece of which,
found In the green trunk, were taken
by the police as photos of the mur

"Anderson states as follows: 1 first
met John Lind In October, 1911. on i
the steamer Oscar II, bound from Cop-s
en ha fen to New York. I learned Lind
had been on a visit to Varberg, Sweden,
his birth place and was returning to
Boston where he had worked for sev

there as an elevator man for several
months, going from there to the Mas

from there as Janitor at the Williams
bufldlng at Third and Mission streets
and from there to the Columbia ga
rage. " 'Lind first secured employment at
the Winchester hotel, 74 Third street,
as Janitor, working there several
months. He then went to the South

few months, then to the Warrington
apartments, Jones and Post streets for
about four months.

"He on March 18, 1914, went tq

October 18. 1915. On the following
day he left San Francisco with George
Bartholomew and went to Portland.
At that time Lind was residing at the
San Raphael hotel, 60 Seventh street,
San Francisco, where Bartholomew
stopped with him for 10 or 12 days.
" 'Lind became acquainted with Bar
tholomew in Union Square, a public
park opposite the St. Francis hotel,
Bartholomew being, as it was, down
and out.
" 'Lind sympathized with him taking
him to his room. Lmd, it seems, was
becoming; a religious fanatic, and Bar
tholomew no doubt a typical yegg, pre
tended to Lind that he was religious
and would not smoke or swear in his
presence. Lind had resided at the Cen
tral hotel, 674 Third street; the St.
Charles hotel, 607 Bush street; the
Hotel Eddy, J25 Eddy street, and other
places enumerated.' "
The statement quoted was made by
Anderson to Detective Michael Burke
of San Francisco. Chief White s letter
continues:
Lind Pretty Well Off.
"We find that Lind has a large ac
count In the Hibernian bank, this city,
amounting to several thousand dollars,
from which he had not drawn for the
past three years. He also has a bank

by police detectives of San Francisco,
said:
"I saw that picture In The Journal
of Portland on November 21."
"Why didn't you go to the police

Charge of Taking Some Lum-
f

District Had Been Made.
PROPERTY IS RETURNED
Xotfci&ff Za Kenttoaed by School Clark
Tnornae of Other Articles Bald
to Kara Been Taken.
Nick 8pady, who holds a contract as
dellveryman for the school district,
pleaded guilty yesterday to the charge
of petit larceny. District Judge Day
ton assessed the minimum fine of $25.
Spady was charged with taking 180
feet of lumber belonging to the school
district His attorney. C. J. Schnabel,
told the court that Spady had returned
the property.
Nothing was said by School Clerk
Thomas or the deputy district attor
ney about, the rest of the school prop
erty that Spady is suspected of taking.
However, it had been discussed before
by Thomas and Schnabel. It amounts
to many times the value of the lumber.
Says 5o Xlst Was Given.
When ths case came before the dis
trict court yesterday afternoon, Schna
bel complained , to the court that
Thomas had failed to furnish him a
list of the alleged stolen property. He
said he had thought the case was go
ing to be settled out of court, but that
apparently extraneous matter had been
Interjected and Thomas had changed
his attitude and declined to supply the
list
Deputy District Attorney Pierce said
nothing had been said in court about
a list, and Judge Dayton confirmed the
statement.
"You won't deny that I came direct
from Mr. Thomas' office to the court
room." eaid Schnabel.
J'udge Dayton said he was ready to
have the case proceed. Attorney
Schnabel made further explanations
about the lumber and then entered a
plea of guilty for his client.
"You see, I was not afraid to go to
bat on the prosecution," said Thomas
later, referring to the report that
Spady had remarked that he would not
be prosecuted because he knew too
much.
He was asked If Spady had returned
all the property he is supposed to have
taken.
Spady "Still oa Job."
"I don't know and I don't give 'a
damn,' replied Thomas.
Spady is still doing the delivering
for the district. The question of can
cellation of his contract was referred
two weeks ago to School Directors
Lockwood and Beach.
Director Lockwood evinced surprise
yesterday that Spady was still hauling
for the district, but said he had been
too busy to give the matter any
thought. Mr. Besxh did not think the
board would have been Justified in
taking any action on the contract until
after the case against Spady was con
cluded, and eald the matter would
now come before the board tomorrow
afternoon.
Speaking of the other articles that
8pady was suspected of taking, Direc
tor Lockwood pointed out that Spady
contended he only borrowed the ware
house truck, which was one or tne ar-
tides In the list
But he could nt
explain why Spady had not returned It
if he had only borrowed it.

Means of Recouping Loss
of Europeans, Says One.
Sounding a warning to American
business that the end of the European
war may see the greatest Industrial
and financial conflict of history, Ed
ward A. Filene, head of the Boeton
mercantile establishment, of William
Filene' s Sons company, addressed the
Portland Chamber of Commerce at
luncheon today on The Economic Ef
fects of the War on American Busi
ness." Impoverished by the war, European
nations, he said, are bound to strive
more bitterly than ever to ell their
product abroad. A lower standard of
living and wages will make it possible
to do this at a great reduction In price.
This will Involve a decreased purchas-
lug nil, BJ Llldk 1119 IICLUOIIS lll&L

ing less, will be able to buy less from
the United States.
KoatUe Tariffs Predicted,
Hostile protective tariffs are likely
to follow the war, said Mr. Filene, so
that the nations may thus keep out
American goods while they are recoup
ing their own industries.
Shortage of the world's available
capital, advancing interest rates and
abnormal increase in armaments are
other factors that must be considered,
he said.
He declared himself In favor of
"preparedness," but called attention to
the danger of making increascs in
American armament greater than Judg
ment would warrant or than public in
terest would Justify. He declared that
the substitution of international agree
ments for war la Inevitable and is no
longer a theoretical or a spiritual hope.
Tims Kips for Peaoa.
Machinery for the substitution' of
agreements for war, la Mr. Filenc's
opinion, should consist of: An Inter
national court for settling judicial
questions; an international court of
conciliation . for all other questions;
some form. of force to compel nations
to submit disputes to these tribunals;
International conferences to make and
amend International law. He favored
an economic boycott of nations refus
ing to submit their differences to the
international tribunals.
"The time Is ripe as never before
said Mr. Filene, "for thU step forward
toward peace, and the United States
with her enormous economic Influence
and wealth is In a position to aid."

WATER METERS SAVE
CITY OF WASHINGTON
FROM GREAT WASTE
Per Capita Consumption Re
duced With Gradual In
stallation of Meter System
Washington, Dec. 15. (WASHING
TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.)
Metering of water services, under fed
eral authority, in the city of Washing
ton, begun 10 years ago, and yet only
70 per cent completed, has resulted,
notwithstanding a large Increase In
population. In a reduction in the rnan
daily consumption from 69,000,000 gal
lons to 62,500,000 gallons.
The per capita consumption has
fallen in the same period from 227 gal
lons a day to 144 gallons a day, and !t
is expected that this will be still furth
er lowered to 130 gallons when the me
tering of the city is completed. This
is approximately 100 gallons a day per j
capita less than when metering was
begun, and this enormous quantity of
saving la credited to the' stoppage of
waste.
Meters Save Pipe Lines.
These figures are found in the re
port of the commissioners of the Dis
trict of Columbia, which has been sub
mitted to congress. It Is pointed out
that with the former waste the capacity
of the present aqueduct supplying
water to the city would have been
passed before this time. Metering has
made such a difference that it is now
estimated an additional pipe line will
not be needed before 1930, estimating
an Increase ia population to 500,000 at
that date.
One other factor has contributed to
reducing the figures of daily consump
tion. This Is the Installation of a pit
ometer service for the detection and
prevention of underground water leak
age. This has stopped leakages
amounting to 1,828.000 gallons a day.
The total cost of this pitomcter service
for the year was $33,433.
Sow Meters Are Installed.
"During the year there were installed
6448 meters," says the report, "mak
ing the total number in service June
30. 1915, 48.411. The total number of
water services s 68,365, and of these 30
per cent remain yet unmetered. It is
estimated that the metering of the city
will be completed In the summer of-
1918.
"The average cost of installing me
ters by the District of Columbia during
the year was $10. 53, including the cost
of the meter, which was $4.85. The
rate charged for water on meter serv
ices during the year was 4 cents per
100 cubic feet for all used in excess of
500 cubic feet. The minimum charge
for 7500 cubic feet is $4.60 per annum.
The average annual payment where me
ters are installed by the District of
Columbia was $o.ol.
Annual Water Bills.
"Water bills are delivered to the
householder annually at the minimum
rate, which allows the use of 7600 cubic
feet, or 66,100 gallons, and If on actual
measurement water is found to be used
in excess of this amount, bills are ren
dered for such excess at the rate of 4
cents per 100 cubic feet,"
It should be borne in mind that no
direct charge is made against federal
departments for water delivered to
them for condensing and cooling pur
poses, and, as this water is free, there
is no incentive to conserve the supply.
One public building alone has a daily
consumption of 3,000,000 gallons, yet
only 700000 gallons of this is used for
domestic purposes by employes. This
Is termed by the commissioners "an
economic waste."
Water Furnished Tree.
Water Is furnished free to churches.
hospitals, orphanages, schools and
charitable institutions to the extent of
19.318,000 cubic feet This is an al
lowance per capita of from 60 to 100
gallons a day, depending on the char
acter of the lnstituton, and excess
water is charged for at meter rates,
the excess last year being 7,397,000
cubic feet.
Water revenues for the year were
$563,000, Including a balance of $33.
000 from the previous year, and the
expenditures for the year were $619,-
000, 42 per cent of the cost of work
done being for new work in plant ex-
tensions, 41 per cent for operation, 13
per cent general repairs, and 4 per cent
for replacements.

THE oldest of modern
crifts is Merchant
Tailoring. The tra
ditions of the art are
$o many, having been
handed down from
feneration to generation, that
an experienced and skillful cus
tom artist can $olv ANY diffi
culty presented by any custo
mer's figure. Of course you
can't have this done by guess.
You must be STUDIED and care
ful measurements must be nude
and the clothes turned out to
CORRESPOND with these meas
urements. We $uggest that it -would
be a waste of labor and
time ten employ such necessary
skill on anything but the best of
materia!. A Reed Bros." suit
at sixty dollars cannot be sur
passed in any respect anywhere.
