BUTTER TO SOAR TO FIFTY CEIITS

This Is Prediction Made Well Known Market Writer. by HAS STUDIED SITUATION EASTERN EXPERT MAKES THE ASSERTION THAT THE AMERICAN FARMER IS TOO PROSPEROUS NOW TO MILK. Here i how the New York Evening Post sizes up the butter market and makes a prediction that It will reach 60 cents a pound: Butter, hitherto regarded as a necessary at most breakfast tables is In . danger of being classed among the luxuries by the time winter has arrived, Jn the opinion of market men who have watched the price of butter climb higher and higher the last few weeks. Large dealers said today that they would not be at all surprised if New Yorkers were paying from 42 to 46 cents per pound for butter by Christmas time, while some were rash enough to predict that the price would go alt the way to 50 cents. ' The more conservative dealers however, do not believe that the 50-cent mark will ever, be reached although they agree that the probable price will not fall far short of that. At present they are paying 32 cents for creamery butter, wholesale, and by the time this butter reaches the table the consumer has paid 35 cents for it Just a year ago, wholesalers were paying only 24 cents, nl other words butter was iy cents cheaper than It Is now. - But the worst is yet to come, according to those who distribute dairy products throughout the city. The present rate, they declare. Is the highest for this season in thirty years. One of the chief reasons for their apprehension is that there has been a falling off in the country's output of butter for the year. . Millions Put In Storage. - It may not be generally known that there Is a butter crop just as there is a wheat crop or a corn, crop each year June and July are the great butter producing months. Much of the output of these months and the rest of the summer season Is kept In .cold storage for winter consumption. . Millions of pounds of it are preserved in this way at a temperature of zero. In this condition butter will keep for six months or mora. June butter is eaten on many breakfast tables in January and February of the following year. But the supply In the store houses is far below what it was a year ago. Last Tuesday night the Amerlean association of warehouses, represen ting thirty-two of the largest stor- j age warehouses in the country, Issued some figures that gave an added Impetus to the upward trend of the price of butter. The report of the association showed that on ' September 1 there were stored in the Ice vaults of the thirty-two warehouses 50,377,848 pounds of butter ready for winter use. This meant that there had been a falling off of 15,000,000 pounds from the corresponding . crop of last year, year. Prices Imediately jumped when the mews became known among the wholesalers. . The reason, given for the shortage Is simply that farmers are not keeping up with the growing demand for their produce. A man who Is regarded as an authority on matters relating to farm produce said today that the number of cows maintained for dairy " purposes bad not materially Increased In the last five years, while the demand for dairy products had grown by ' leaps and bounds in all parts of the country. . - Parmer Too Prosperous to Milk. The American farmer,, said he, ia too 'prosperous to take the trouble to milk his cows, anyway. He doesn't develop the resources of his own farm. It'a all very well to 'talk about the trusts sending up the price of commodltles but here is a case where the sole reason for the high price of butter lies In the fact that the American farmer Isn't producing enough of it There" Is no trust manipulation behind this. It is simply a case of the demand . being far greater than the supply." In New York 90 per cent of the butter consumed is "creamery" butter the high grade variety. It is this butter that is now selling at 32 cents wholesale, and for which fancy figures are predicted for the future. Some of the large retailers grocers who have stores in many parts of the city can afford to sell at a slight advance of one or two cents, but in doing so they make little or no profit The great mass of retailers have advanced their

Nebraska Woman Claims She . Is Wife of Orville Wright

To show to what length some people will go to gain cheap notoriety at tbe expense of the annoyance of a national celebrity, may be instanced In the case of the Nebraska woman who claims to be the lawful wife of Orville Wright, and to have a son by him. Notwithstanding the fact that the family strenuously discredited the story of the woman and friends of the Wright brothers believe tbe woman to be Irresponsible or laboring under a delusion that she Is the wife of the Dayton aviator and former Richmond resident, when, in fact, she may have married some other Orville Wright, there are some who stick to the belief that tbe woman is right The Oregon Dally Journal, of Portland, the home of the young woman, publishes the woman's story in full as it appears below; "At her cottage ' In Alberta, Mrs. John I. Carson, who claims to have been the wife of Orville Wright the famous American aviator, repeated the story of Wright's denial of having been her first husband, but this did not disconcert her. " 'I was a school girl in Central City Neb.,' she said. 'Orville Wright was one of the boys I knew there. He was not quite 20, or 21, I do not. remember which. I was not quite 15. We loved each other and wanted to marry, but our parents objected. My father objected to Orville because he was not of age, his father objected to me because I was only a little girl. But we thought we knew better and were married, Orville swearing that he was 22 years of age, and that I was over 17. My birthday is " on October 28, we were married October 21, 1897, in Omaha, Neb. '"We lived together for lO months at Central City and at Lincoln, and were happy as could be. Then Orville went away to school, first to Lincoln and then to Baltimore. He never came back and the baby and I were left alone. Then his uncle. Dr. Whittaker came to me and said that Orville was dead. Came to Portland. " 'Two years later, Mr. Carson, whom I had known In Central City, wrote to me from Portland and asked me to come here and marry him. I came and we were married at Vancouver. We went to Vancouver and there an attorney named Sparks told me that the first marriage had not been legal because neither Mr. Wright nor myself had been of age and ad vised me to be married under my maiden name, Ada Miller. I did so, at the time being less than 17 years of ag Mr. Carson swore that I was 20 so we could get the license. This was December 19, 1900. '"We lived in Portland for two years, continued Mrs. Carson, 'and then moved to Baker City, so that Mr. Carson, who was a sheepman, could be nearer his business. We separated in Baker City three years ago. , Mr. Carson Is now in Rawlins, Wyo. " 'About nine years ago,' said Mrs. Carson, 'I received a letter from Mr. Wright, saying that he intended that price to 35, 36 and 37 cents a pound, which is extremely high for this time of year. ; . One result of the rise, according to wholesale merchants will be an increase In the use of butter "substitutes" this winter. Oleomargarine products are being manufactured in great quantities, and they are already used to some extent in place of butter. Up to the present timo however dealers in real butter have not suffered materially in competition with their rival. But makers of artificial butter are beginning to look forward to a new era of prosperity. Should butter really reach the 50 cent mark oleomargarine is likely to supplant it in a number of homes where economy is the chief thing to be considered. The artificial product is sold at prices considerably lower than the normal price of butter, and some of the enterprising merchants are already circulating pamphlets telling housekeepers "how to cut your butter bill."

our boy should have the advantage of a good education, but I bave never beard from him since". I thought that I still had the letter among old letters In . my trunk, but when I looked last night could not find it, and suppose that I have lost it Has Written to Him. " Yes, I have written to Mr. Wright, but have not. heard from him. I intend to write again thisweek, as soon as I can see my attorney. I do not care for myself, but I think that he should help me raise Lester as he should be raised. I never had to work until three years ago, and it has been pretty hard for me to make both ends meet " 'I have nothing In the world except my children.' Mrs. Carson also has a bright-eyed little girl, daughter of her second husband. 'And I am content, but I would like for Lester to have advantages which I can not give him.' "Mrs. Carson's father, C. F. Miller, is now a resident of Baker City. At th time of her marriage to Orville Wright

he was a farmer of Nebraska, living near Central City. He afterwards came to Oregon and lost his money in the sheep business. Tries to Invent Balloon. 'The son of Mrs. Carson was in the yard of the cottage at the time of the interview. A baby balloon bumped against the outspreading branches and tugged to break away from its anchor cord. At the earthward end of the restraining string a fair-haired youngster stood proudly. " 'I knew I could make it work, he said, and then relapsed into a boyishbashful silence. "That the 12-year-old boy Is like Or ville Wright in mind and inclination as well as in looks, Is shown by his boyish pursuits and ambition. He wants to make things that other boy? cannot make. He wants, and tries, to solve the hidden mysteries of mechanics and of motion, sometimes with strange and startling results. He is a builder of inventions, now to his boyish fancy, working for results from things which he has heard of and sees dimly in the large. "Not long ago he built a ship and planned it with motive power of powder for sudden dashes through the mimic ocean of the neighborhood. His motive power blew his invention into so many pieces that he has never seen the model since, and he has not reconstructed it " 'I put a magic lantern on the next one,' he explained this morning, 'and the heat made it go.' "He has delighted his playmates with the construction of a miniature 'Chutes' for their playground. " 'Ypu ought to see it work,' he says. His balloon is his latest toy, and he is proud of it because it goes Up in the air, as he intended It should. '"He is always making things and is never satisfied with what he makes,' explained his mother. 'In that he la like his father, whose mind was always filled with strange plans for strange new things." T LEAVE WIFE Marshall Declines River Trip On Account of "Better Half." SENDS UNIQUE REGRETS (American News Service) St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 18. Because he dislikes to be separated from his wife and she from him, Governor T. R. Marshall, of Indiana has declined the invitation of the Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep Waterways' association to be a member of the governors boat party to New Orleans. . No arrangements have been made for governors' wives on the trip. Governor Marshal said in his letter to W. K. Kavanaugh: "As Mrs. Marshall endured the arduous work! of a campaign In order to be with me and I am not convinced that my presence is necessary to any public good to my state, I must respectfully but gratefully decline your invitation. President Kavanaugh of the association announced that it would be utterly impossible to accommodate the wives of the governors on the Alton, the craft designed for the entertain ment of the state executives, becauss there are only thirty-five staterooms on the steamer and thirty-one gover nors have already accepted Invitations. More acceptances are expected. President Kavanaugh, however says that a committee of prominent women will be named to entertain the wives of the governors, members of the cabinet and delegates who wish to make the trip. The visiting ladies can go to New Orleans either by rail and join their husbands, or take passage on other steamers that will carry delegates and others who will attend the convention, Like Fatncr, i-ike When be asked for his bitt at the corner drag store he was amazed to see after erery item of cigars as item of candy, a certain peppermint that cant in glass Jars and was sold by the druggist. . v Hows this?" be queried.

H. L. BRIDGMAII IS QUITE AliGRY Peary's Secretary Peeved Over the Cook Reception Plans. fO BANQUET COMMANDER

HE IS ATTEMPTING TO OFFSET THE WELCOME WHICH WILL BE EXTENDED TO FIRST DISCOVERER OF POLE. (American ftewg Service) New York. Sept 17. Herbert I Bridgman, secretary of the Peary Arctic club, who hurried home from Sydney where he had gone to meet Com mander R. E. Peary, Is still full of wrath, and set about, the executive work of planning a rival reception for the commander, offsetting the elaborate program under way by the Arctic club for the welcome of Dr. Frederick A, Cook. "Dr. Cook's action in cloaking bis start for the north pole In mystery wa? despicable," said Secretary pridgman today. "He knew Peary spent nearly twenty years in his polar investiga tions and was perfecting his plans for reaching the pole on this very trip Cook took advantage of all Peary's dis coveriesroute, facts and necessary Information. What ' has angered mo more than anything else is the public misunderstanding of the whole thins. Why could Cook not have waited for Peary to complete his effort? Then, failing, Coolc could have started." Invitation to Mayor. An invitation has been sent to Mayor McClellan, asking him to represent the city at the Cook banquet at the Waldorf-Astoria. Six hundred invitations have already been sent out for the ban quet and hundreds of requests for tickets are pouring in from every section of the country. Rear Admiral W. S. Schley, president of the Arctic club, and Dr. R. O. Stebbins, chairman of the executive committee, are actively In charge of the arrangements. "Dr. Cook has been recognized as the discovered of the North Pole by the Danish Geographical society and other important bodies and all honor Is due him," declared Dr. Stebbins today. "We should have done the same thing for Commander Peary if his announcement had come first. We have much admiration for Peary and his determination to reach the pole is worthy of praise. In fact, we have invited the members of the Peary Arctic club to the banquet." Despite this olive branch talk, it seems hardly likely that the members of the Peary Arctic club will avail themselves of the opportunity to do honor to Dr. Cook at the ; banquet board. "" Finds Many Messages. Mr. Bridgman found, a number o! congratulatory messages awaiting Commander Peary at tbe offices of the Peary . Arctic club today. Among them were the following: "Uccle, Belgium, Peary: International polar commission slncerest congratulations to their member. Cagnl, Lecointe, Nordenskjiold." "Edinburgh, Scotland, Bridgman. Secretary Peary Arctic club: Warmest congratulations on Peary safe return. Scottish Geographical Society." "Royal, France, Bridgman, Peary Arctic club: We applaud the magnificent success of Peary.

It never gave me any trouble such as itching or smarting and I never noticed any falling of the hair. But shortly after that I had an attack of typhoid fever and I was out of thebospital possibly two months when I first of hair, my scalp I started to use a noticed the loss being still scaly. dandruff cure to no effect whatever. And I used a quinine preparation quite freely whioh did no good either. Whether it was tbe effect of the fever or some scalp disease I don't know, but I had actually lost hope of saving any hair at all. I could brush it off my coat by the handful." It got so bad that I didn't need to comb it any more in fact I was afraid to. My brother, who had used the Cuticura Remedies with satisfaction, advised me So try them. After using two eakas of Onticura Soap and nearly a box of Cuticura Ointment, the change was sorprising. My scalp is now dear and healthy as oonld be and my hair thicker than ever, whereas six months age I had my mind made up to be bald in a short time.

The Jack Rabbit clothing factory, Marx at Haas, proprietors, is closed, the result of a lockout The question to be decided is whether a member of a union, has a right to say, "O, damn this shop anyway." John Weissler went to lunch and returned five minutes past 6 to work overtime. The elevator had stopped. Weissler wanted to be taken upstairs, but the elevator man refused to take him. "O, damn this shop, anyway," he said. Samuel Goldstein, the superintendent, heard him and called officers of the union into conference. They insisted Weissler had done nothing to merit discharge. Goldstein insisted he ought to be laid off five days, anyway. The union leaders would not have It that way. Goldstein lost his temper and said things. The hasten were then called out The proprietors retaliated at noon by notifying the' 1,200 other factory employes that there would he no work nntil further notice.
