! 4 ' . That the Swift meat interest, rep-
i j '-' resented here by the Portland Union
!- 3 Stockyards company and the Union
i - ': Meat company, discriminate against
'Willamette valley hog and sheep (row
ers and so manipulate prices in a fight
against independent packers that it Is
to the advantage of stock growers gen
f rally- to pass this market and go to
Seattle, was asserted by Dr. W. L.
Bishop of Dundee while in Portland
last week.
"The stockyards in Portland dis
criminate 16 cents a hundred against
Willamette valley hogs and 50 cents
a .hundred against Willamette valley
lambs," said Dr. Bishop, who until re
cently has been shipping about 400
hogs a year. s
"I have found that I can pay the
HQ s, carload extra freight to Seattle
and sell to the independent packers
there at a profit of not less than $50
a carload more than I can get in
Portland.
gbipper CHves Tig-ores.
'Here are the figures: I can al
ways get 25 cents a hundred more for
hogs in Seattle than in Portland. Se
attle does not enforce the discrimina
tion of 16 cents a hundred against Wil
lamette valley hogs nor 10 cents a hun
dred for variations in color. A carload
means 18,000 pounds and I have re
ceived never less than 190 a carload
more in Seattle than in Portland which
leaves ISO extra after paying the
freight. As a matter of fact, the net
profit has usually been more.
"It Is too bad that such conditions
exist. It is hard on Portland's mer
chants and hotels. They lose money
and I will show you how. Just a-year
ago I shipped a carload of hogs from
my farm. In Portland this car was at
tached to a train containing 27 car
loads more of hogs. These 27 carloads
of hogs came from east of the moun
tains, were fed here and shipped on
to Seattle. In the drovers' car were
nine men, each of whom would have
been worth at least f 100 to the ho
tels and merchants here, but what they
did was spend their money in Seattle,
Just as I did. And where the buyers
in Portland treat the drovers and own
ers with indifference the buyers of
Seattle attend to their entertainment
with a cordiality that makes them
want to come again.
Cant Afford to Ball Ken.
r "I don't want it to be inferred that
I am not loyal to Portland. I am.
After this year Portland will be our
home for we are going to move in for
the sake of the educational advantages
for our children. I would like to sell

afford to. . . -
-Wben the Swift inUresU were con
ducting their .hog .growing campaign,
they said the Union Meat company In
Portland would be able to absorb all
the hogs grown In this territory, and
that the price would never be under the
Omaha market. Witness what hap
pened. : In 1915 and 1916 the market
was crowded down and " down. '' The
Union Meat company was trying to
get : the market down to I cent a
pound, llogs sold here ) a hundred
under Omaha. W. H. Daugntrey, presi
dent of the Portland Union Stockayrds
came out then with a statement that
growers who were selling their brood
sows for what they would bring, and
were going one of business, would re
gret it, for the prices would go up. I
have Just read another interview from
Mr, Daughtrey deploring, the fact that
because of ' present high prices the
farmers were selling their brood cows.
I challenge his statement.
Shortag Pas to Price Cntttag'.
"He is begging the issue. There is a
shortage, but it is due to the price cut
ting on the part of the Hwirt interests
in 1915 and 191 and there would never
haere been such a shortage, the prices
would have remained more stable and
the growers of the Portland territory
would be selling to the Portland mar
ket almost exclusively If the promise
had been kept that prices here would
not go under the Omaha market.
"I believe that the Swirt interests
consider their Portland plant so unim
portant in their fight against the in
dependent packers that they would
wipe It out if necessary to put the in
dependents out of business. That is
their concern, but to have conditions
that send the livestock of Portland's
natural territory through Portland to
Seattle is seriously against the inter
ests of this city.
Portland a Joke to Montaaans.
"Iet the commercial interests of
Portland appoint an independent, un
prejudiced committee. Let the com
mittee call upon the growers east of
the Cascades and in the Willamette
and get the facts. Then they will see
why the growers of Montana (I have
lived in Montana) consider the Port
land market a Joke. They will see why
Swift methods in Portland are keeping
from this city hundreds of dollars of
business for every day in the year and
then they will understand one of the
material reasons wny toe business oi
Portland merchants has been in a de
pressed condition.
Idvestok Indtustrj Vital.
"There is no industry so vital to
the Willamette valley as the livestock
Industry. It is essential that Wll
lamette valley farmers make a large
factor of livestock. If Willamette val
ley hogs and lambs are considered in
ferior to. those grown east or the
mountains let the Swift interests tell
us so and we will go out of business,
But they do not tell us so. Without
explanation they discriminate against
us and force us to sell in Seattle if
we have an eyr to profits teid a deter
mination to succeed. At the present
time not 30 per cent of the hogs are
being grown in the Willamette valley
as were formerly grown and it is be
cause the growers found they could not
market profitably here and did not
turn to Seattle and the Independent
packers there as I did. Portland can
not prosper under such conditions.
Vo Grvoncn Hor Trouble Maker.
"I do not want it understood that '
am grouchy or a trouble maker. If
I did not consider that it is to the best
interests of Portland to make "these
facts knowm, I would remain silent.
Nor am X the exceptional ease.

Keep Snowplows doing-.
Superintendent Fred" Cooper of the
Portland Railway, Light & Power com
pany, announced last night that the
five snowplows would be kept going
all night, if necessary, to - keep the
slush from being mushed down on the
rails by vehicular traffic. This would
not be required were it not for the
danger of freezing.
FreesIng temperatures, in fact, were
reported on the heights and along -some

experience in chipping ice from the
rails with hand picks was not relished

tion of allowing its repetition.- '

afternoon, but automobiles and wagons
passing' along the rails had a tendency
to force the soft snow . back Into the

Thanks to Honest

My practice Is limited to
kith-class Dentistry only
AT PRICES EVERYONE
CAN AFFORD
BE SURE TO READ THIS:
From the Atlantic to the Pa
cific, Ethical Dental Societies, and
Ethical Magazines and Journals,
sj talking about the Injustice of
continuing high prices,, admitting ;
their code of ethics Is sadly out of,
dateunfair and un-American, and -
needs modernizing. Thev even adroit now that the Advertising Den
tist is human perhaps their equal and that advertising of itself Is
NOT WRONG. '
DR. Hi C. SEXTON, SHEL8YVILLE, IND., in a recent issue ef
the DENTAL SUMMARY, says to hU Ethical Brethren:
"We know that heel teeth nseaa sickness, disease aad death. We
know that 80 per cent of school children have carlo ua teeth. We
point oat these terrible truths we creel a demand for Dentistry
-and what have we done to supply this desaand? I'll tell you
what we've done we HAVE INCREASED OUR FEES we have done
scarcely anything else. We have Introduced many new appliances
into practice and almost invariably the strongest plea thst is made
for them is that we can get more money from our patient."
AND LISTEN TO THISt
"Is it not useless cruelty to educate (the public) to the need of
Dental Work and then deny it to them on aeeount ef oaponeoT WE.
RIDICULE THE SO-CALLED "QUACKS' FOR EXTRACTING TEETH
FOR TWENTY-FIVE CENTS AND FOR MAKING A RUBBER PLATE
FOR FIVE DOLLARS BUT, I WILL TELL YOU, MANY A POOR
MAN, AND MANY A POOR MAN'S FAMILY, HAS HAD CAUSE TO
BLESS THE SO-CALLED QUACK OFFICE. It has enabled him to
have Dental Work done it has made his children comfortable and .
healthy. YET LEFT HIM HIS SELF-RESPECT, BECAUSE HE HAS
NOT BEEN AN OBJECT OF CHARITY.'
"In the Ions; list of Dental operations, the one that is doing the
most rood for suffering humanity and making the most money for'
Dentists today IS THE ONE-DOLLAR AMALGAM FILLING. It U a
blessing to mankind, and a greater blessing to childhood'
Dr. Sexton concludes his long and able article by saying:
"I hero heard many papers read su gestinc how we could raise
ur fees I have not heard one read sug getting means to reach the
suffering poor and help them. Wo meet chiefly to talk about rai
ing our fees to tell what w get for operations and complain be
mhm .we do net set more. When a profession puts all its endeavors
to sauecxinf the most money it can get out of Its patients m tho ,
. . a . aT a e
least possible time, it becomes uworuy oc we name oi profession
and puts itself on a par with pawnbrokers." (1 personally apolo
gise to the pawnbrokers.)
One dentist mentioned by Dr. Sexton stated he made 2$ per
working hour. If he worked ten hours a day, that is 35o a day,
7500 a month, 90,000 a year. Do you think he EARNS lTf Do'
you wonder the Profession that puts the dollar sign ahead of the
golden rule objects to the Advertising Dentist's giving the purlic
fowprlces? ; '
REMEMBER, anyone can cut prices, but it takes BRAINS to turn
out better work.
REMEMBER!
Moet any dentist can puQ a tooth - and not hurt you. It doean;
take 'much of a mechanic to drill out a small decay in your grinder
and fill it up. BUT let mo tell you thisi If you want a full upper

it takes a man with experience in that particular branch of tho pro ;
