day. H. F. Nichols, or n ho Is bet

of Tnmnln, passed tho ninety-second
milestnno Tuesday and celebrated the
occasion with a trip to llend.
Mr. Nichols knew Oregon whon It
was nothing but a wild, territory
overrun with Indians. He was tho
first sheriff of Polk county, fought
In the Cnyuse war, camo to Prlne
vlllo when Ihoro wore but two sub
stantial houses In tho town nnd was
In tho k'iglslaturo nud Introduced the
bill which created Crook county. He

his ago ho lins n remarkably clear
memory and is able to keep track of

Hetiirulng from Portland where he
oonferreil with numerous railway of
ficials concerning the possibility of
aiding the car shortage in Central
Oregon. J. P. Keyes, general manager
of the Ilrooks-Scanlon Lumber Co.,
declared this morning that there
seems practically no hope for rem
edying present conditions.
"It Isn't merely the diversion of
400 cars from the S. P. & 8. to the
Southern Pacific," he said, "for half
of those cars have already been de
livered, but It is the fact that a short
age la being experienced on virtually
all railroad lines through the coun
try. Ilallroad officials tell us that
the car famine Is going to be the
worst In history."
As to the status of the Portland
'gateway question, Mr. Keyes was un
able to give any very definite Infor
mation excepting in regard to the pos
sibility of the matter beting settled at
a Washington conference early in
December.
Mr. Keyes was fhe only one of the
llend lumbermen to return from Port
land. T. A. McCann. general manager
of The Sheviln-Hixon Company plant,
remaining with D. D. Conn, traffic
manager for the Shevlin-Hixon mills,
to continue the fight for more cars.
Changes here due to the car fam
ine will be few. The night shift at
the Brooks-Scanlon box factory is be
ing laid oft and the shipping crew
cut down, but the mill and yard forc
es will continue to run full blast, ac
cording to present plans. No changes
have been announced at The Shevlin
Hixon Company plant.

Discussion of the car shortage fea
tured the weekly meeting of the Bend
Commercial club at the Pilot Butte
Inn this noon, and after an explana
tion of existing conditions, a motion
by Whisnant for the adoption of
resolutions condemning the diversion
of cars from the S. P. & S., was car
ried without a dissenting vote.
That the shippers of the Central
Oregon section had been caught nap
ping was the declaration of A. Whis
nant, who asserted that the diversion
order could be traced to J. N. Teal,
of Portland, through connections with
A. C. Dixon, manager of the Booth
Kelly Lumber Co., of Eugene, and
Clyde B. Aitchison, of the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
He mentioned that the war board
has ordered that western white pine
may be used instead of spruce for
airplane construction, but J. P. Keyes
of the Brooks-Scanlon Lumber Co.,
stated that the Central Oregon lum
ber could not possibly come up to the
specifications now In use, and that
consequently no change in the local
car situation was to be expected be
cause of the war board's decision.
A. letter from C. C. Chapman, of
Portland, was read relative to the re
tention of Dr. Kerr as president of
the Oregon Agricultural college, and
the club authorized the writing of
letters, urging that the educator re
main in this state.
M. R. B'.jgs, Prineville stockman,
delivered an interesting address on
Central Oregon farming conditions.

BEND IS READY
TO GIVE THANKS
FEW HERE WILL MISS
THURSDAY FEAST.
i
Demand For Turkeys Greater Thlfl
Year Than Kver Itefore Soa
Honal Dainties Sell Rupldly
Church Services! Planned.
Bend will dine well on Thanksgiv
ing. Judging from the orders grocery
stores and markets filled today there
can be few people In town who have
forgotten the annual feast.
For the past week down town win
dows have vied with each other In
displays of .good things that would
tempt the most hardened dyspeptic.
Probably the heaps ot nuts, citron,
eandied lemon and orange peel, dates
and other fruits have had much to do
with a large number of housewives
putting up their own mince meat this
year. Very few have purchased the
prepared article.
Fruit cake, that ever popular dain
ty, is holding its own. One local
bakery has had two men making 200
pounds that rivals the kind "mother
used to make." One customer or
dered 16 pounds of it at one time.
Many orders were received today for
special mince, apple and pumpkin
pies. The bakery stocked up on prac
tically twice the usual amount of
sweets and was selling out rapidly
early in the day.
Poultry In Demand.
Two markets had sold completely
out of chickens early this morniDg
and one had disposed ot Its last tur
key. Butchers claim the demand is
greater than last year, and many late
purchasers may have to take roasts
Instead ot birds.
Cranberries and cider com next In
popularity, with celery following
close behind. A carload of apples
which one grocery received recently
was about at an end today. Fresh
stocks of 'fruits and vegetables were
selling rapidly.
The principal stores In town will
be closed tomorrow. All grocery
stores making' deliveries will fee
closed at their regular hours tonight.
Meat markets will remain open latb
tonight and two will send out their
regular morning deliveries tomorrow.
Churches will hold union services
at 10 o'clock In the morning at the
Presbyterian church. Rev. Lyon will
preach the Thanksgiving sermon.
