Do you realize that from your telephone you can talk to practically every city and town in California, Oregon, Washington and parts of Idaho, Nevada and Arizona? Have you ever considered the economy of Long Distance Service ? Think of the time-consuming trips it saves. Think of the value of being able to get into instant communication with a place or person perhaps a day's journey away ! Your telephone may be used for either local, suburban or long distance service and the entire system of this company, with its millions of miles of lines, is ready at any time to cany your message anywhere you wish to send it. Every Bell Telephone is a Long Distance Station ft XXXX ft THE PACIFIC TELEPHONE & TELEGRAPH COMPANY XXX xtx XXX ft xtxx Opposition to New Rates Is Blow to Valley Mills Certain rortlunil lumber intercuts under the guise of charging the South ern I'neifie company with discrimina tion in rates on lumber to California in favor oil lumber inanufacturoi'8 in the Willamette valley, ure in reality milk ing another effort along the Southern Pacific lines soutlf of Portland. Not only is thu Willamette valley interest ed," but also the Unipqua and Koguo liiver valleys. The same tactics wero reported to by them in 1907 in a hear ing before the interstate commerce com inisisou over the Willamette Valley-California rates, at which time they de manded that the commission give them the same rates as the valley, and also when they got the commission to grnut them a preferential rate of 2 Hi cents per 100 pounds to Utah, when previous ly the rates from the valley wero the same. It is the old cry of these Portland lumber interests whose articles in the Portland Telegram show conclusively a disposition to be not satisfied with the advantages they already have, but to demand further concessions in order that no one else shall bo allowed to have even n fair chance to compete with them. That tho time has arrived for the merchants, lumber manufactur ers, formers and residents of the Wil lamette valley and southern Oregon to take some action to protect their in terests is quite evident, as unmistnk able efforts are being made to kill tho lumber industry in the territory south of Portland. Selfishness Back of Charges. There have been in recont years many allegations and charges of discrimina tion by the railroads, but on reflection it has been found that they have gener ally originated with and in the in terest of purely selfish person and communities. Since the amended inter state commerce act was passed in 1907 and tho creation of state railroad com missions, nearly all of the rates carried by the railroads, particularly in tne west, have been passed upon and re vised by either ono or both of these bodies, and it is safe to say that if, as alleged, discrimination was practiced the carriers themselves havo assisted in removing tho same and thut such conditions do not now exist." One of the greatest handicaps placed upon tho interior communities has been the refusal of the commissions to per- T TTTTTT T d Lmil V Long.. Others, Sam Work. mit the carriers to recognize market competition in making their rates as the railroads were wont to do at one time; now it is strictly a transporta tion condition that permits of compe tition. People nnd communities located in intend territory must recognize that they aro subject to only one mode of transportation and that their success depends wholly upon tho development, of the iulund district. In their strug - '- to even commence the inland devel opment, they must be enabled to reach tho outside markets and if they are prevented from doing tins wo may as well uid goodbye to our future hopes of becoming a substantial common wealth. Tn the 1911 decision of the interstate commerce commission in this Willam ette valley-California lumber rate case tho commission says: "This average distnnco from the Willamette valley mills to Sun Francisco is 0i!2 miles and from Portland 7:22 miles. Our decision, if it discriminates either way is against the w lilmnette valley and not against Portland inllls." This statement was mndo after the hearing of the case wherein the Portland mills sought to have their rates reduced to the Willnui etto valley basis or the Willamette valley rate advanced to tho basis apply ing from Portland. The pSouthern Pacific railroad is the only outlet which the industries of in terior western Oregon have, while Port land has the Pacific Ocean, four differ ent transcontinental railroads and en joys unlimited distributing territory. She has lower rates than t "no Wilain etto valley to points in Washington, Idaho, and Montana, anil up to a short time ago enjoyed a preferential rate to Utah. It is only in the territory east of Utah that mills south of Port land are on an equal basis and that territory is open to nil tho mills in Oregon, Washington and Puget Sound, consequently our mills must meet the severest kind of competition. Territory Opened Is Small. There is a littlo stretch of territory in California north of San Francisco and Oakland to which the rate from western Oregon is lower by four cents than is tho rate from Portland, but certain Portland mills and tho Portland Telegram in their great efforts to show that Portland has been discriminated against fail to point out to the public that tho difference between the Port land rate and tho western Oregon rate to San Francisco, Oakland and San Francisco nay points was originally nine cents per 1011 pounds, yet as point ed out in the decision of the interstate commerce commission the Portland mills successfully competed for that business through their ability to ship by water. This difference was reduced to eight cents per 1110 pounds, was again reduced to "Cj cents per 100 pounds, and in a recent readjustment made was further reduced to four cents per 100 pounds. The process of narrowing the differ ential between Portland and tho Wil lamette valley and southern Oregon mills hss stcii.lily been progressing in favor of the Portland mnmifactiircr, The on 't Forget 1 i That we can economical ly fill all your Thanks giving requirements in Wearing Apparel Men's and Boys' Clothing and Furnishings Special I Reductions $ t This week at ?

Like New York City lias dictated to the state of New York, Portland has dictated to the state of Oregon polit ically and otherwise. Every move that Ws been made has been to secure an advantage for Portland, and if pertain Portland lumber manufacturers had their way the timber located in western Oregon south of Portland would not be manufactured at any place but at Port land. They would insist on its being hauled in 'the log to the Willamette river for manufacture into lumber by them.' If there is any advantage whatever held by anyone it certainly is held by the. Portland lumber interests and the people in western Oregon must wake up and take notice of the fact that, there will be, no lumber manufactured south of Portland if certain interests of Portland have their way. As self preservation is the first law of nature, so must the wngo earner, the merchant and every interest situated within the timber district of the Willamette, the I'mpqnn and the Hoguo river valleys prepare himself to protest against ab solute ruin. , ft:;; , COMBINO WON'T KID " HAIR OF DANDRUFF , X; The only sure way to get rid of dundriiff is to dissolve it, then yon destroy it entirely. To do this, gef. about four ounces of ordinary liquid nrvon; apply it at night when 'retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. Do this tonight, and by moiniiifC, most if not all, of your dandruff will bo gone, nnd three or four more appli cations will completely dissolve ami en tirely destroy every single sign nn traco of it, no matter how much dand ruff you may have.
