This rate ar rangement was estblished volun tarily, but during the past 15 years has been authorized aand protected under orders of the interstate com merce commission known as relief or waivure orders under the long and short haul provision of fourth section of the Interstate commerce act, "In some case the railroad olected to meet the steamship rut cm by publication of special commod ity rates, but In the majority of cases the class rates have been gen orally relied upon to meet the sit uation because since the amend ment of the interstate commerce net In 1920 the railroad has not been able to publish any new com modity rates because the Interstate commerce commission has failed to decide on the various phases of tho rate conditions between Call fornia and Oregon and which was the subject of hearing in San Fran cisco in April, 1922. "The Southern Pacific has ap pealed to the commission for a vacation of the order after learn ing the Import of it, and asked that It be postponed until a hear ing could be held and the full ef fect of the order determined.

"London opened about as pre dicted last week and the opening level of prices has been fully main talned. Mohair Is firm at last week s prices of moderate trading." Practically all dealers report a few turkeys left over after Thanks- .giving, due to the high prices, ac cording to a report by W. S. Flits. He states, unquesttonally, If tur keys had been down around 42 to 45 cents that every turkey would have been sold out. but many sales were lost to retailers, he says, be causo of the havy price. Fitts states that along with the general drop In eggs today he has dropped eggs under his now sys tem of buying by tne pound to 3 cents as a buying price from 31 cents a pound. He says he re celved a letter from Silverton to day from a dealer there lnyulring about his new system of selling eggs on the pound basis, having observed the roferenco to the sys tem In the Capital Journal, The Silverton denier, says Fltts, de clared It was the only system, that he wishes to inaugurate It, and asked for Information so he could co-operate In getting it gene nally established.

Commercial St The Origin and Oper-I ation of Skaggs Stores Uncle Ebcn, mythical dar ky philosopher, Is quoted ns bnvlng sni "When a man Bays lie ain't got no enemies he's cltlicr un nwful liar or else lie ain't never done noih ln wutli notlciii.' On an other oencsion the pnmc eb ony srtfie Is supposed to lmve remarked tlmt "Any time yo sticks yo liald above dc tall grass -somebody's gwlno bounce a rock of feu it." Iloih of which observal Ions whether or not they are na thenilo are literally and figuratively true. Frcoucnlly tho perfectly obvious is the most difficult thing to sec and It Is human nature to like to weave a web of mystery about outstanding successes despite the fact that a few simple, properly, directed questions might dis pel tlie mystery at any tune, Particularly In the cao of unusually successful com tnercial enterprises there are always those concept of their own self-interest prompts them to create and circulate rumors and whisperings that are less thau lux If -truths 01 wholly false. No large con em Is immune from such at tacks and the question of , "Who Owns Skaicas Stores?" has been the subject of much Idle speculation and false re port. Skacss stores arc owned solely by the men who arc actively eiieuirert in their op eration four Skaggs broth ers, and the executive head; among tie employees who nave renrneci certain posi Uons and met certain re qulremcuts. Not a dollar earned outside Is or ever ha: been Invested lu this concern since Its corporation, nor nrc there any outstanding bonds, notes or preferred stock (which Is but another way of liorrnwliig money) and not a single share of common stock has ever been sold to Anyone outside the organizn Uon. As the second Skaggs store was financed from the earn Ings of the first store, s have succeeding stores been financed from tho profits of the stores that preceded them. No stock In Sknggs stores has ever been offered the public or listed on any stock exchange for the reas on that the heads of this firm regard all chain store storks as highly speculative. and dependent for their earn Ings entirely upon the ability and spirit of the management and organization buck of them. To build n closely knit organization sucn as ours. ONK hi mind, purpose, nnd eriort, requires considerable time ami morethati-nrdinary understanding of tlie variable and huntnn elements Involv ed.

No money from outside sources was iiermlited to be used In the purchase of sutek, and only amounts In excess of an nual earnings of $1500.00 were accepted, since it was considered that $1500.00 a year was the minimum am ount on which a man with a family could lire decently. The money thus hi vested by employees was used for further expansion to Increase earnings, and care for tho incoming personnel manag erial capacity. Since that time, once each year, the various executives who can meet the other requirements are offered the privilege of purchasing stock on tho avove basis a privilege of which tliey can avail themselves or not, ns they sec fit, since the purchase of stock in the company Is in no way a condition 01 their employment, rather, one of I he pcrogatlvcs there of. For this reason, whenever you meet and deal with one of the managers of the more than 300 widely scattered Skaggs stores, you have al most Invariably come Into cont net with one off the own ers whose personal and ft mi net a I Interests nrc vitally concerned with tlie kind of service and satisfaction yon receive In that store.
