Before Springdale Merchant
Hoisted White Flag of Truce.
The white flag of truce was flown
to -the breezes at Springdale this

workmen under the direction of
County Roadmaster Eatchel started
to "operate on the True mercantile
establishment with a view to cutting
away about two. thirds of its floor
pace to make way for the new
route of the Columbia river highway
at the' Springdale corner.
: Aa a result the roadmaster , has called
eff hla men and has granted' True two
days to buy property and move hie
building.
Tru telephoned to ' the roadmaster
this morning asking for an armistice. He
declared his belief that he could pur-
chase from the person to whom he re
cently sold part or nls land, surncient
pace to permit him to move his store
back from the new road line.
The store abutted on the new highway
fine and the eowrfty commissioners gave
True $1400 for the damage on an agree-
- ir.ent to move the store back within 30
days. The time limit expired and True
tiad not started to move. (tn. Tuesday
morning the roadmaster. with a force
f workmen, descended 'upon tbe place
and. during the da completely tore
away a display front. The same work-sne-
were starting lo cut through the
building to make it conform to the new
" btghway lines when True entered a plea
for an armistice.
P Crosscut saws were in readiness for
the final attack upon the store building
after having already cut through a ma
hogany counter that crossed into the
froperty claimed by the county -after
eondemnatton proceedings.

Will Portland women help the
women save the country from eco
nomic ruin?
Several hundred housewives, as
sembled' for their third weekly mass
meeting Tuesday afternoon in Li
brary hall, listened eagerly to a
rousing appeal from the floor by
Louise Palmer Weber, dietician and
food expert.
"The darkest days of the war were a
moonlight night compared to what we
are now going through economically."
Mrs. Weber told the women. "We
women are facing a serious proposition.
The women of the nation, aroused, are
going to come through and save the
day."
LEAGUE OF RATIONS
"My work in food chemistry has
taught me that it Is unnecessary to de-
pend on political appointees to prevent
prices from increasing more than they
should per cent. I should say, would
be a reasonable increase. . It is ' the
women, who deal in ounces and pounds,
rather than in tons and cargoes, who
must wage this war. We must organ
ise, as we organized to make possible
the Red Cross. Every woman must be
a soldier in the league of food a league
of rations' as well as a 'League of Na
tions'and strive for results. There is
profiteering in all lines. We were too
busy gnawing the bone of war to pre
vent the profiteers from slipping past.
"We can control prices by controlling
the demand. If eggs are too high, let
us do without eggs. We can. If we
can't get cow's milk for our babies, let
us keep goats they eat little and give
milk rich in food value. Butter and or
anges, however, small children must
have, at any price."
BENTS CLIMBING STEADILY
When Mrs. J. F. Chapman, chair
man of the meeting, brought up the
subject of apartment house rentals, a
storm of discussion followed.
"There's a lot to be tackled in this
field," said a woman who lives in the
May apartments. 'I have a two room
apartment, for which I paid $27.50. My
rent has been, raised to $32.50, because,
Mr. May says, prices of fuel and paint
-have gone so high."
"The Belnapapartments, between Tay
lor and' Yamhill streets on Seventeenth,
are Just as bad," said Mrs. George Wls
chusen, "Two room apartments they
.call them furnished, but all use the same
bathroom are renting for $33."
"Our rent has been raised four times
in four years," said a woman in a pink
sweater, "Every time we get a new land
lord the rent goes up. And now wei
must pay extra for our telephone. I
live in the Gill' apartments."
LANDLORD EXPLAINS
The Morton apartments also were ac
cused of profiteering. Then Samuel C.
May, apartment manager, sought the
floor. And Mrs. Chapman, who had an
nounced that no mere men were to be
allowed to vote or speak unless invited,
granted him five minutes.
"There have been no raises of more
than $5 at the May apartment," he said.
"For the last five years one could not
make more than 6 per cent on apart
ment rentals. Now we are making about
7 per cent and I think we have it com
ing to us."
May pointed out that fuel and janitor
service was more expensive. He ad
mitted that he had not had a vacancy
for two years but said that before that
time it had been difficult to get tenants,
"you don't see much money put into
apartment houses today."
Another man answered May from the
floor.
He said that apartment houses were
not being built because the housing
code was too severe. "A committee has
been appointed by Commissioner Barbur
to draft changes in the code," he said.
"The housewives should exert pressure
on this committee and get some action."
PROFITEERING ON TELEPHONES
May admitted that tenants had been
"raised" in the matter of telephones. "It
makes another raise for them they
want their phones," he said.
A woman tenant of the Stelwyn apart
ments complained that her rent had
been jumped to $75, and that she was
required to pay $3.50 for a telephone
which cost the landlord only $1.25 addi
tional. She said also thai an exorbi
tant price was charged for milk and
that milk ordered by tenants from out
side dairies would not be delivered in
the apartment.
The question of the Yamhill public
market was again discussed, and a sub
committee on shoes and potatoes, to be
headed, probably, by Mrs. John Scott,
was appointed.
The first vice president of the Albina
market told Portland women how. mar
kets are run in rural Oregon.
TALKS BIGHT OUT
"We never have set prices, she said.
"We mark everything in plain figures.
You might as well set the prices in a
department store as on the public mar
ket. AVe we women so helpless" that we
can be gulled every day? Must we have
some man tell us what to pay for corn
and potatoes?
"I have been in the grocery business.
The association phones you that you
must sell butter at so much and so
much. If you undersell you get no more
butter. Your public market is to avoid
such things.
"Marketmaster Eastman is hedged
around like the czar of Russia. He says
that we women are 'meddlers.' Well,
If we are, 'we are meddling in our own
business."
COMMITTEE HEETS TODAY

man to report on rent profiteering- in
Portland and suggest a reniedy, consist

PURCHASE BY OREGON
LUMBER CO
ASSURES
WORK FOR 20 YEARS
Sale in Mt. Hood Forest Will
Mean Much for County Roads
and Trails Through Timber.
Dee, Sept. 3. The recent purchase by
the Oregon Lumber company of 365,000,
000 feet of standing timber, covering
7340 acres of land in the Mount Hood
forest reserve, means that the big plant
of the company at this place will be
kept busy for at least 20 years, as it
will require that length of time to log
off the timber. The government will re
ceive about $1 per thousand feet, board
measure, for the timber, of which sum
10 per cent will gq to the state for con
struction of roads and trails in the na
tional forests, and 25 per cent will be ap
portioned between Clackamas, Hood
River and Wasco counties, within whose
borders the national forest containing
the stumpage is situated. The comple
tion by next season of a good, easy
grade0 road to Lost lake is now assured.
