TIIE MORNING OREG ONI AX, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1920 STATE DAIRY EXPERT WANTED BY ALL U. S. E. B. Fitts Acquires Fame as Judge of Cattle. OREGON'S RATING RISING While Youngest Jersey Common veallli In Union, It is Most Suc cessful; Breeders Watch West. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallia. Sept. 12. (Special.) The dairy cattle judging ability of E. B. Fitts. federal aha Oregon agricul tural college dairy extension special ist for Oregon, is in demand in differ ent states of th'e country end in two Cities of Canada. His fame as a Judge of milk producing qualities and as a demonstrator of these qualities to breeders and the public in general Is spreading with the fame of Oregon, the youngest but most successful Jer sey state in the Union. His services are just now wanted by Utah, Connecticut and Massachu setts; by "Vancouver and Victoria, B. C. and by some dozen county and dis trict fairs of Oregon. He has already judged dairy cattle in most of these points, having been at Victoria when Prince George was guest of honor at Its first fair. He has judged the dairy exhibits at Utah a number of times, but will not be able to do so this year. Xfw Enslnnd Fairs on List. Professor Fitts will serve as dairy judge at numerous county and district fairs of the state and also for the state -fairs of Connecticut and Massa chusetts. His value as a judge is said to be no greater than his value as a demon strator. He always takes advantage of the educational opportunities af forded by exhibits of dairy cattle, and in making the awards explains the points of superiority carried by the winning animals. This is appreciated by breeders, who find it of great as sistance to them in selecting stock for exhibition and breeding. "Milk producing inheritance or abil ity in dairy animals, both young and old, is nearly always associated with a conformation or development of form that one can readily learn to recognize," said Professor Fitts. Choose According to Ideal. "The successful breeder or compe tent judge must have the Ideal type of animal fixed in mind and choose his breeding stock or prize animals according as they conform to the Ideal. "Fairs, expositions and judging demonstrations offer splendid educa tional opportunities, and those breed ers who carefully follow the judging work and compare their own' animals with others on exhibition and with the ideal type are making marked headway In their breeding work."

Cal., Albert Ldwara Watson, 44 years of age. clerk, was arrested In Seattle Satur day on a federal warrant charging nim with the latter offense. Watson, who is neatly attired and of medium height and weight, made no effort to conceal his record from Police Lieutenant D. C. Wickman when he was taken into custody in a Second-avenue shoe store, where' he has been employed for about two weeks. He talked freely concerning his marriages. Deserting his first wire and nis two children, 8 years and 15 months old, in Berkeley, ac cording to his own story, Watson met Mrs. Lawrence Earle, a Tacoma di vorcee, in San Francisco last Feb ruary and in May they were mar ried. "Mrs. Earle knew I had a wife and two children," said Watson today in the city jail. "My first wife heard of this second marriage and she pleaded with my second 'wife to leave me alone. She promised to do so, but instead we came to Seattle and lived a short time at 321 Boren avenue Finally she left me. I then went to Portland and met Mrs. Grace Bruner, another divorcee, and we were mar ried about four weeks ago in Van couver. Wash.

Or., Sept. 12. (Special.) On Wednesday or Thursday of this week a group" of five citizens of Eugene will leave in automobiles for eastern Oregon and will go as far as William Hanley's cattle ranch near Burns in an effort to work out some plan to connect the eastern and west ern parts of the state by rail. Some other route than the one along the bank of the Columbia is favored. The idea is to obtain concrete facts re garding the transportation problem to present at a meeting of the Oregon Chamber of Commerce which will be held in the near future. The men will pay their own ex penses. They are L. E. Bean, George H. McMorran, Frank Jenkins, G. W. Griffin and John B. Bell. KLAMATH ALLIANCE MADE Representatives of Two Irrigation Projects Get Together. KLAMATH FALLS. Or.. Sept. 11. (Special.) A tentative alliance be tween representatives of the Shasta valley irrigation project, which pro poses irrigation of 120,000 acres in Siskiyou county, California, and the American Legion, regarding control of waters of the Upper Klamath lake, was reached today at a conference between C. W. "Watson and Dr. C. N. Dwinnel, representing the California project, and J. H. Carnahan. com mander of the local legion post. "The waters of Upper Klamath lake, properly distributed," said Mr. Watson, "reclaim lands in Siskiyou and Klamath counties that would supply 75.000 persons. The project is too important for any but govern ment development, and we purpose to eliminate any chance of private con trol of the Klamath reservoir. Under the agreement pressure will be brought to procure a government appropriation to build the Link river dam, recently abandoned by the California-Oregon Power company on re quest of Secretary Payne. Klamath lands would have first right to the water and the residue would go to the Siskiyou project. . W. F. McClure. California state en gineer, and Percy Cupper, Oregon en gineer, arrived tonight to go over both projects. I HUNTERS FIND MURDER SIGNS IX HOMESTEAD CABIN". Mrs. France Seeley of Sherwood Wrote August 2 0 That Sho Would Go on Land. SEATTLE, Wash.. Sept. 12. (Spe cial.) For the purpose of investigat ing the alleged mysterious disap pearance of their sister. Mrs. Frances Seeley, 32, of Sherwood, Or., from a homestead cabin seven miles above Lake Wenatchee, H. C. Springston, Seattle, and Mrs. D. L. Green, River ton, are now in Wenatchee, confer ring with city and county officials there for the purpose of making a thorough search. They left here Sat urday on receipt of word that there were indications that their sister had been the victim of "foul play. As a matter of fact, neither the brother nor sister had any certain knowledge when they left Seattle that Mrs. Seeley had been on the homestead premises the last few weeks, as the report from Wenatchee seemed to indicate. The mother. Mrs. C. C. Springston, of Riverton, up to yesterday had no knowledge on this point either. All the family knew was that hunt ers had found what looked like evi dence of murder in the cabin. That such a fate might have befallen the woman was considered possible by members of her family, because, in a letter from her home at Sherwood, Or., dated August 20, she said she was going to the Wenatchee home stead to make her third and last proving up on the 160 acres she had acquired more than two years ago. Whether or not she went the family never heard. ARMY TO POLICE TACOMA City Acts to Better Conditions for Soldiers on Leave. TACOMA, Wash., Sept. 12. (Spe cialsMilitary police will be detailed to duty in Tacoma shortly, it was announced Saturday following a con ference between C. M. Riddell, mayor; Fred Shoemaker, commissioner of public safety, and Major - General Charles H. Muir, commanding officer at Camp Lewis. Commissioner Shoemaker said that they met with General Muir to work out means of bettering the city for soldiers while they are on leave in Tacoma. General Muir was satisfied with their plans, according to Mr. Shoemaker, and the general said he would co-operate with the police and health departments to rid the Qity of undesirable women. The military police company of the 4th division lsat present not at full strength, and it is probable that men from other regiments will be detailed or transferred to the detachment for duty in the city. TACOMA FIGHTS FOR TAX $1,000,000 Reduction in Valuation Asked by Railway. TACOMA, Wash., Sept. 12. (Spe cial.) Saving to Tacoma of between $30,000 and $40,000 on its tax income believed by city commissioners to have resulted from their hurried visit to Olympia Friday to protest against the request of the Tacoma Railway & Power company In asking a reduc tion of $1,000,000 in the valuation of its property. The company offered to sell its lines to the city for $6,500,000, thereby placing a definite valuation upon the property, and the public service com mission allowed the company a 10- cent fare so that it might pay an 8 per cent dividend. It is now assessed at $3,000,000, or less than one-half of its physical value, the commissioner said. 0RENC0 CLUB ORGANIZED Republicans of Town and District Plan for Campaign. ORENCO, Or., Sept. 12. (Special;) A Harding-Coolidge club has just been organized at Orenco. At a meet ing of republicans in the city hall which was largely attended by both men and women the club was formed and the following officers were chosen: James H. Longden, president; R. E. Dunsmoore, vice-president; R. E. Parsons, secretary. Officers of the organization say they expect to enroll every man and woman in the school district of Oren co, which comprises not only the town but the surrounding country. Head quarters for the Harding-Coolidge club have been established at the of fice of Secretary Parsons in the office of the Oregon Nursery . company. ASHLAND ELECTION LARGE Entire New Set of Officials to Be Chosen This Year. ASHLAND, Or., Sept. 12. (Special.) Ashland is to elect an entire new set of city officials and three new park commissioners this year. This is the first time in years that so manjr local offices have become va cant at tne same time and comes about through the operation of the change 'in the state constitution adopted two years ago. This city does not come under the state primary election law, this law not being thought applicable to Ash land, as the candidates are always non-political, up to the present time no candidates have publicly entered the field. Schools Gain; Population Iiess. ASHLAND, Or., Sept. 12. (Special.) Registration in the Ashland public schools at the close of the first week was 1005 as against 955 pupils last year at the close of the fourth week of school. According to the census of 1920, Ashland has decreased con siderably In population, but the school records show that only 960 pupils were enrolled in the fall of 1911; therefore the present large attend ance of school children would seem to indicate that Ashland has not fallen off in population eo greatly after alL . CITY'S CREDIT MEN TO ANALYZE H. C. 1. Investigations So Far - Have Been Useless for Public. POSSIBILITIES IN SURVEY Findings of Body Can (Be the Basis for Measures to Guide Legis lators In Framing Laws. The Portland Association of Credit Men contemplates an investigation of the present unsound economic con ditions that in the public mind A embodied in the familiar subject, the "high cost of living." Composed of a membership with special training for collecting and analyzing facts and figures, it would appear that? this organization might undertake a work of general interest and with the possibility of rendering a valuable service in laying the foun dation for developing a constructive programme for restoration of nor mal conditions. Efforts that have been made to de termine to what extent high prices have been justified by lifts in costs of production, and how much was due to excessive profits of, the middlemen, have so far been of little or no bene fit to the consumer. Spasms of vir tuous wrath have found expression in sensational allegations and con flicting statements from opposing in terests without reaching any definite conclusions that enabled profiteers to be curbed. Guide for Leglnlators. It is within the province of the credit men to make an investigation, thorough and broad in its scope, to include the essentials, but without prejudice or passion, and with such an array of information that it will prove the basis for measures to guide legislators in deciding what may be necessary in laws to wisely safeguard the public interests. The national association has called attention to what is termed "tem peramental character of our business people." In a recent letter to mem bers, J. H. Tregoe, secretary-treasurer, says: "A year ago there was a wild scramble for merchandise. We urged moderation, declaring that an unfa vorable reaction would come. At present there is an equally demor alizing scramble to return merchan dise, to repudiate contracts and to do things which the good-thinking, mer chant ought not under any circum stances to do. Because of this con dition, business is hesitating and some industries are shutting down indefinitely. If we had but kept our heads and been moderate a year ago, this situatipn could in all possibility have been saved. Contracts Staonld Hold. "The business conscience is in our judgment a condition precedent to progress. What is termed business shrewdness, may profit for awhile, but never will profit long. When con tracts are entered into for the pur chase and sale of commodities, they should be lived up to by both par ties, no matter what may happen. The agreement alone of both parties should be required before a contract is canceled) or unredeemed. Upon our credit managers, confronted as they now are with this situation of returned merchandise, repudiated con tracts, etc., there rests the responsi bility of acting firmly and wisely Caution must be urged, fairness must be appealed to, and believing firmly in the predominance of right, we are confident good sense will be restored and that our confidence in the bust ness conscience of America will not be shattered." Indications point to a grad-ual lower ing of the price level on commodities. But sight s"hould not be lost of the fact that during the period of steady advances wages of a large class of workers have not kept pace with the constantly higher costs of everything that is listed in the category of "ne cessities." Prices Said to Be Falling. Food, clothing, drugs, medicines, transportation, rentals for homes oc cupied as tenants, taxes qn horn owned by workers, all have advanced. Bradstreet's index numbers show that with the exception of April commodity prices have declined in the six months of the first half of the cal endar year. The decline was snown to have been 10 per cent from February 1 to August 1, and the index number is the lowest since June 1, 1919. But it is still 114.7 per cent higher than August 1, 1914, when the outbreak of war in Europe started the trouble for the entire world. Textiles, hogs and dairy products, vegetable oils hides and breadstuffs dropped, but building materials, coal and coke fuel and naval stores went up in the same period. Almost a daily occurrence In the large banks is the presentation of ac cumulated interest coupons of the va rious issues of liberty bonds. A few days ago a man appeared at the fed eral reserve branch bank to inquire about exchanging his temporary bonds for the permanent issue of Just Potatoes But More than 2000 car loads of the 7500 cars of produce raised an nually in Idaho Falls' trading radius and shipped from Idaho Falls are potatoes! The tuber crop is only one of the products of the won derful farming region from which this thriving city draws its immense wealth. Another reason why we recommend its bonds Call or Order by Phone, Wire or . Letter 7 these bonds, and it developed that ie held bonds of the second, third, fourth and victory loans, on none of which he had cashed the interest coupons. From the small number of first, sec ond and third issues presented for exchange, it is apparent that a large number of bondholders are not aware that the temporary bonds may now be exchanged for permanent coupon bonds bearing the coupons to ma-i turity. Permanent bonds of the fourth liberty loan will not be avail able for exchange until about Feb ruary 1, 1921. However, an announce ment will be made as soon as these are available, and the federal re serve bank does not care to have any bonds mailed for exchange until the permanent Donas oi the issue are available. The phenominal sale of the .new issue of bonds of the French govern ment during the week along with the sale of a large number of municipal bonds clearly indicates that the trend is distinctly towards high prices in high grade government fid municipal bonds, according to Freeman Smith & Camp Co., bond dealers of Portland and San Francisco. According to re ports that they received every issue or municipals floated or sold during the week in the east brought better prices than any since the decline of a few months ago. Bond dealers generally " says Mr. Camp of the local office, "contend that prospects for future market conditions are brighter than they have been for many months, and that everything indicates a return to lower levels. This means that high grade bonds which have been selling to net investors as much as 8 per cent will slide back to normal when they will net investors from 4 to 6 per cent. The success of the French government loan was above all expectations. It is interesting to note that the loan was oversubscribed! within an hour, and the price began to increase immedi ately thereafter. The bonds being quoted on the New York curb on Sat urday morning at 101 or a point ana one-half in advance of the one inal selling price. All the Bales during the week were on a better basis than any sold previ ously during the depression of bond prices. Investors are generally wide awaae now to the possibilities af forded by the market conditions to day. People who never before bouerht bonds but who have surplus funds are purchasing. There is absolutely no question now that prices will re main at low levels. Just how soon they will return to normal is a aues tion, however, but every indication is uiat tills is coming." At the annual meeting of stock holders of the Union Oil company (of Delaware) on September 2, 1920. the directors were re-elected for the en suing year. P. A. Gilmore has recently become associated with the firm of Ralph Schneelock company, with offices in the- Lumbermens building. Mr. Gil more has been in he handling of se- v;ui ilicb mr many ears in tne norm west and has acquired knowledge of municipal bonds of this section that makes him a recognized authority Ralph Schneelock company express their satisfaction in securing the services of a man of this wide expert ence and knowledge who will be ac tively engaged in the buying and selling of municipal bond issues, thus increasing the high standard of effi ciency and service of this firm. Two new issues of treasury certifi cates of indebtedness are offered by the government, according to infor mation received by the Portland branch of the federal reserve bank. Certificates of both issues will be dated September 15, and outstanding certificates may be used in paying for them. Subscriptions are now be ing made for the issue. One of the new series will be designated TM-3 1921, will be due March 15, 1921, and will bear 5 per cent Interest. The second group will be series TS, 1921 This will be due September 15 of next year and will bear 6 per cent interest. The certificates will be in denom inations of $500, $1000, $5000, $10,000 and $100,000, and are exempt from all taxation imposed by the United States, or any state, except inheri tance tax and graduated additional income taxes, commonly known as surtaxes, excess profits and war taxes. The proceeds will be used to help pay-off $800,000,000 in certifi cates maturing September 15 and Oc tober 15, 1920. Outstanding certifi cates which will be accepted at par in payment for those of the new is sue are those known as T-10 and G, 1920. Several Oregon bankers will attend the annual convention of the Amer ican Bankers' association at Wash ington. D. C, October 18-22. A. T. Matthew, secretary of the clearing house section, has sent out a call for a general conference on clearing house problems the third day of the convention. Matthew formerly was one of the staff of the Portland branch of the Bank of California and went to New York a few months ago to accept bis new position. Issues of high-yielding Canadian bonds are the outstanding feature of the market, according to John L. Eth eridge, president of Morris Brothers, Inc. An offering of school district 6 per cent gold notes to the amount of $250,000, bearing a yield of 9 per cent, was a noteworthy event of last week. Province of Manitoba se curities, yielding 7 per cent, also had a rapid movement. ' Owing to the general prosperity prevailing in Canada, the bonds of its cities and provinces are finding a ready sale. Issues of northwest municipalities are becoming scarce, too, and investors are snatching up the high-yield securities as fast as Uador-SnpcrvUlonOronS Lumbermens BIdg. dl U kr- trrri they are offered. In and around Cal gary, business is excellent, the crop outlook is splendid and the people of Alberta have already paid . into the federal treasury as luxury taxes ap proximately $280,000 and, on that basis, will in this manner contribute at least $1,000,000 within the first year of the tax, according to reliable information. First wheat to reach Calgary from adjacent fields averaged 25 bushels to the acre and 66 pounds to the bushel, indicating a large and most excellent crop. Receipts at the city's postoffice for August this year were $378,372, about $40,000 more than in the same month of 1919. In addition to the Canadian offerings. Morris Brothers, Inc., are carrying numerous high-yield American issues. as usual. GENERAL PROUD OF G. A. C. 'ROCK OF MARSE" PRAISES MILITARY DEBARMENT.

It was due to the forethought of Dr. Kerr, who saw to It that funds were available for putting up the armory." General McAlexander was com mandant at the college for five years from 1907 to 1911. He is credited with having done much toward build ing the foundation which has made it possible in the last few years for the college to receive the "distinguished institution title from the war de partment. General McAlexander said that h had heard nothing but praise of the work of O. A. C. men in the military service. RIVAL ELECTIONS SLATED Ashland Has Two Schemes for Ob- taining Water Supply. ASHLAND, Or., Sept. 12. (Special.) The city council has issued an offi cial call for two special elections for bonding the city for $100,000 to pro vide an additional water supply. One election was called by petition and providesfor the city to bond for $100,000 to purchase the Buck Lake ranch, 34 miles east of Ashland, on which is situated Buck lake.

Rates Are Suspended. ROSEBUTtG, Or., Sept. 11. (Spe cial.) The cause of the increase in operating expenses of the local plant of the Douglas County Light & Water company has secured an order from the public service commission sua pending the recent rates for a period of six months, during which time a showing will be made in an effort to secure a further advance on light ing and power rates. The recent rate increase granted them by the public service commission was not deemed sufficient, although the 'rise in the schedule was nearly 75 per cent on water consumption. The company claims that the light rainfall of the past year is responsible for the in creased costs of running the plant, as fuel must be consumed to make up for the lost water power. One to 10-Yr.

Gellatly. a resident of Oregon for nearly 30 years and for the last 20 a resident of Chelan county, Washington, who since last January has been canvassing the state of Washington in 'behalf of his candidacy for the nomination for governor on the republican ticket, announced Saturday his confidence on the eve of the primaries that he will be given the nomination by the peo ple of this state. Mr. Gellatly, his friends point out, has had two distinct advantages in his race for the gubernatorial nomi nation, one because of having made a study of state government and knowing, or believing he knows, the needs of the state and having a pro gramme for state betterment, and secondly, a winning personality, which, they say. has done as much in creating his following as anything else. He has maintained, even though a member of the legislature, that that body is in need of aid before it can function properly. He suggests that the republican party make these needed changes and do it now. He in dorses the service men's bonus bill, the conservation of resources and tier constant replenishment.

Portland Police Inspector Sued for Damages for Alleged False Arrest. George Mowry, deputy district at torney, left Saturday for Twin Falls. Idaho, to defend B. K. ESmith, Port land police inspector, in a J10.000 damage suit alleging false arrest. Though F. B. Wilkins waived ex tradition when arrested in Idaho in the belief that he was Charles Mack- ley, charged with larceny of an auto mobile, and came to Portland with Inspector Smith, he later established his true identity and filed the damage action. James Lahning was arrested in Twin Falls at the same time and brought to Portland also by Inspector Smith. He pleaded guilty to the joint ndictment with Mackley and was sen tenced to three months in the county jail October 23. 1919, and paroled. According to District Attorney Evans, Inspector Smith was only sent to Twin Falls to bring back the men arrested there as Mackley and Lan- ning and, as he had never seen Mack ley, had no way of knowing that the sheriff of Twin Falls had the wrong man in custody.
