The Oregon Shoe company for
the first year or two will not have
as its main object a matter of

of the store will be to produce
real volume sales which will en
able us to buy In quantities and
after a time will show a profit

This method of doing business
is not entirely new. Ten years
ago the Price Shoe company or

year these heels were put on at
an actual loss but after that time
connections were established with
large factories taking enormous
quantities of heels, buying them
at such a low figure that today
they are pnt on the shoes for Just
half the amount they formerly

according to C. C. Aller, manager

be made via London, as In the
case of Brussels and Antwerp last
week, using the transatlantic radio
telephone link between the two
continents. The first connection
will be made Monday. January 30
The hours of operation for
transatlantic telephone service to
Dutch points will be from 7:30 a
m. to i if! m. eastern standard
time, the same as that now in use
for British and Belgian points
The rate for the Netherlands will
be $3.75 higher for three minutes
and $1.25 higher for each sue
ceeding minute than the present
rates from the United States and
Cuba to London. Thus a Portland
call for Amsterdam, Rotterdam
and The Hague will cost $90.75
for the first three minutes and
$26.25 for each minute thereafter
The route traveled by an Aaaeri
can-Dutch call will be the same as
any other transatlantic call as far
as London. From London, how
ever, the call will reach the Dutch
subscriber, by means of a submar
ine telephone -cable under the
North sea, which establishes direct
communication between Amster
dam,. Rotterdam and The Hague.
The first such cable was laid In
June. 1922, and the growing traf
fic between England and the
Netherlands has required two ad
ditional cables since that date any
of which may be used for the
American-Dutch call. I

British Steamer City of

At Portland

PORTLAND. Jan. 28. (AP)
Twenty men ran for their lives
and damage estimated at many
thousands of dollars was done to
the Northwestern Grain dock and
warehouse in lower Alblna last
night when the British steamer
City of Osaka crashed into the
dock. -
The grain dock holding 8.000
tons of new wheat valued at about
$300,000 towers M.feetabove a
gapping hole about 60 feet high.
35 feet wid and 35 feet deep
where the nose "of the big ship
crashed into the building.
The two new elevators In the
bnildinc. which were mstaiiea
last summer at huge cost, are said
by officials of the Northwestern
Dock and Elevator company, own
ers, to he seriously damaged. It
will require one or two months
work before the elevator will be
ready to resume operations accord
ing to John S. Hanna, superin
tendent, after a cursory examina
tion of the damage. In the mean
time, the huge amount of wheat
stored above cannot be moved be
cause of the loss of the elevator
equipment.
The gapping hole In the dock
and elevator is the worst ever
made by a ship out of control in
Portland harbor, Tim Ahern, en
gineer for the harbor police
etated after visiting the scene.
The City of Osaka could not have
struck a more vital spot in any
elevator than it did In the North
western ,raln dock.
Cause of the accident had not
been determined tonight and offi
cers of the ship refused to talk
The opinion was voiced however
that there was some misunaer-
standlng of Blgnala between the
bridge and the engineroom. where
by the engines continued to drive
the vessel forward when they
should have driven backward to
tinA tha vessel away from the
dock.
Officers of the ship refused to
night to comment on the accident
while Captain Herman Frese, 65

the moving of the vessel at the
time of the accident, bluntly hung
