I estate editor. The annual forty million dol lar buying power of the recently organized Commercial Associates, a co-operative association of seven big furniture companies or the Pacific coast, will react toVthe ad vantage of the retail purchaser in the form of better prices on furniture, according to informa tion received by C. F- Giese, man ager of the local Giese-Powera store, from Ira F. Powers, pres ident of the' Ira F. Powers com pany, Portland, who has also been elected first president of the Com mercial Associates. Mr. Powers said that it is the aim o fthe new association to pro mote the sale of Pacific coast manufactured furniture, orders for more than $500,000 worth of furniture having already been placed with one Portland com pany. The plan, of purchasing blankets, robes and other Pacific coast manufactured articles is al so contemplated by the new or ganization. "This organization of furniture men.'" said Mr. Powers, "is in keeping with the co-operative as sociations that have proven suc cessful in so many other lines of merchandising. Cooperation is now a recogniz ed business force. Commercial Associates has in mind the pro motion of better homes, sales ef forts to bring home-furnishings to the home owner at as low a cost a3 is consistent with reliable goods and fair service, and to promote the sale of Pacific coast products." Mr. Powers, who has been fore most in bringing the new organi zation to a successful culmina tion, said that the association idea had so appealed to large eastern companies that membership will be extended to ten big eastern firms. j t 'With Mr. Powers as president, the other officers of Commercial : Associates are: Clarence A.

He finally resolved to form one of the party, assuring himself that be woutcT never agaln. be lured In to service, but failed to foretell that the fates had willed that his grandson would be offered as a sacrifice to the wiles of Lorelei, a female deity revered by the riv ermea.

When asked if the life of a riv- erman appealed to me I promptly- pleaded guilty and the cook, Tom Washington, insisted that I was not too young to take up the cross as he called it and begged that I might come with hkn on the new Bteamer. , A prompt refusal was about to be made at the solicitation but when Captain Charle3 Holman in terceded I was granted the boon that I had longingly hoped would one day come to me and realized that I was to become one of the river clan, a distinction not look ed upon as lightly .as it is. today. Captain Holman agreed to stand sposor, for me and Tom was to see that I learned the ropes, which in his department meant pots and kettles. .
