More par ticularly Buchtel, we gather from the rather Delphic allusions to that official. It it the June 9th iaaue of the Voter which contained the "roaat" and it ia headed "The Shame of Oregon."

Nolan of California has had prepared ' tables showing the tremendous advance in prices in one o the large market companies of Washington during the last few months, and also a comparison of prices prevailing in this country and some of the warring countries of Europe. Mr, Nolan belivea the bill contains all of the provisions necessary to bring prices down to a normal figure, and the sooner it is passed the earlier will be the results. While the prices of other commodities undoubtedly need regulation also, we should take care of the food problem first, and then turn our atten tion to other articles. "When we find people in the warring countries," says Mr. Nolan, "using our own wheat and buy ing 35 ounces of bread for from 8 to 1 0 cents, and then find our own people in the nation's capitol paying 10 cents for a 1 4-ounce loaf, it is time to sit up and take notice. A WORTHLESS JOB One of the easiest ways to relieve the great pressure of work on the Interstate Commerce, commission, in the opinion of Congressman Joseph Walsh of Massachusetts, is to discontin ue the work of valuation in which they are now engaged, and which he believes to be absolutely worthless when completed, Instead of increasing the membership of the commission, Mr, Walsh thinks it would be far better to dispense with the end less amount of labor involved in valuing the roads, and allow the three members who now give most of their time to that branch of the work to devote their energies to the more im portant duties of the commission.

Secretary Hedfield is preparing to warn business that the government may find it neces sary to requisition shipping tonnage within a short time. Industrials will be told they should adjust their affairs accordingly. PORTLAND BROKER SUICIDE PORTLAND, Or., June 30. J. M. Foster, aged 63, an adjuster for bank rupt stocks, committed suicide by shooting; himself at his residence, 1005 East Salmon street, early this morn ins;. Mr. Foster had been ill for sev eral months, and the act is attributed to despondency. SALEM, Or., July 2. The license fees under the new Btate dog tax law are due on July 1 and thereafter it be comes the duty of the constables to catch all dogs which are not licensed. The law applies to all counties in the BUte, extent those east of the Cas cade mountains and Josephine, Jack son, Coos, Curry, Lincoln, Tillamook, Clatsop and Columbia. The city of Portland also is exempted. Constables are allowed a commis sion ot 10 per cent on all fees collect ed by them. The balance of the money will go l,ito a fund to be used to compensate farmers for the loss of sheep and chickens killed by dogs. Newspapers printed In the vernacu lar are practically unanimous in de nouncing the restoration of the Man chu dynasty. They predict it will be short llred, saying the whole country will rise sgalnst Emperor Hsuan Tung and General Chang Hsun. The China Press In a leading article says the question of the moment Is the amount of military strength which the Kuo Mln Pang (Democratic party) Is able to muster. The Shanghai Times thinks an armed conflict between the north and south is Imminent and says that the scale of the clrll wsr will de pend largely on the attitude adopted by Vice-president Feneg Kwo Chang. The North China Dally News does not believe that Southern China will accept the monarchy and says the Im mediate results of the coup d-etat will be to rally all Republicans to the one standard. The Standard says the differences between the nary and the army around Shanghai vanished on Monday morn' ing and that both branches uphold re publicanism. LONDON, July 4. A Reuter dispatch from Shanghai today quotes Vice- president Feng Kwo Shang as lndig nantly denying the allegation ot the Pettin edict that he Is a pro-monarch' 1st and as declaring that, on the other hand, he Intends taking action at the earliest possible moment sgalnst the new Pekln government.

Influenced miners' strike Is believed to have been ended today as the result of a remarkable Independence day pa triotic demonstration participated In by over four thousand miners. The miners paraded the main streets waving American flags and shouting their loyalty to the United States. Non strlklng miners of the Calumet and Arizona mine beaded the procession. Permission to march In the parade was refused strikers by the celebration committee. The only violence was the result of the refusal of one miner to uncover as the flag passed. A bystander knocked him down and the threatening crowd was driven off by the officers, who hur ried the injured man into the post office. Later he kissed the flag and waa permitted to leave without further harm. As a result of the overwhelming demonstration of the real patriotic sen timent of the majority of the miners, most of the strikers are expected to re turn to work tomorrow when the mines reopen.

I). C Grass clip pings are an excellent green feed for chlckons. Tho back yard poultry flock of a family often lacks sufficient green feed with a consequent reduction of egg and moat production. With the easy availability of lawn clippings the city poultryman can always have green feed through the sutninor for his chick ens. The flock can bo fed dally us much of the green clippings as they will ent. If any continued bowel trouble shows, the amount should bo reduced. The remainder of tho clip pings can-bo allowed to dry and fod moistened during tho tlmo between luwn cuttings. Amounts In excess can be dried for winter use. Dried grass clippings are a good green food for winter. They can be dried and storod In sacks These dried clippings, moistened and fod to the flock, are a very fair sub titute for the succulent grocn feeds of summer. 6 MEN GET $15,000 CIIICAOO, July 2. C.
