SEN
PATTERSON
Speaking before members of the
Salem chamber of commerce at the
close of the corn show Saturday
evening, former State Senator I
L. Patterson expressed the opinion
that prosperity would surely fol
low if the farmers gave more at
tentlon to raising hogs.
He said, that with a large pro
duction of corn, the hog business
would surely pay. This was true
as there was a market, and cited
the fact that the big packing In
terests were shipping annually in
to the northwest $5,000,000 worth
of their hog products.
Senator Patterson thought some
thing was wrong with the hog
market and prices paid by the big
packers. He called attention to
the price paid In Portland of 9
cents for hogs while on the same
day the packers were offering
10 hi cents a pound for hogs In
San Francisco.
Railroad rates should also have
some attention, the Senator said.
He said an Ashland man had writ
ten him that it cost more to ship
his products from Ashland to Port
land than it did to ship from San
Francisco to Portland.
Elmo S. White spoke in favor of
closer cooperation between the
city and rural districts and also
the need of cooperation in market
ing.

The Salem branch of singers

Whitney chorus of Portland, and

ney boys' chorus. i
Lausanne, Dec. 18. (By Asso
ciated Press.) The Near East
conference entered its fifth week
today with three of Its biggest
problems still unsolved but with
the sub-commission to which they
have been entrusted making every
effort to reach settlements.
Difficulties over the control of
the Mosul oil regions, the ques
tion of deporting the Greek patri
arch and the status of the Turkish
capitulations have caused the con
ference many anxious moments
and their final settlement still is
hanging fire.
The delegations believe that
they virtually have disposed of
the perplexing question of the
Dardanelles and that they have
overcome many of the obstacles In
the way of a solution of the minor
ities problem.
