NO RELIEF IN SIGHT Grocers I'm Boycott on Potatoes In Order to Force 1-roiiteers 10 Loner IHre Which In Now Kxhorbltaiit. With tho price of potatoes' stead-' llr Increasing and with no drop in si'rht. local retail merchants and consumers are facing a serious aitu itlon. The handling of this com modiiy in causing considerable wor rlnient to ilio dealers and at the mis lime the consumer Is very anx ious considering the purchase of what bas for all time been sonsidered a necessary of human diet. Potatoes In Kosoliurg today are selling at prices varying from 8 to 10 cents, the former price being asked by dealers who are closing out the hut of their Block, while the latter is required lo handle potatoes brot In under the new prices. Several of the stores have practically exhausted their supply and are refusing to buy at !he prevailing wholesale price. Others are doling out potatoes In small quantities, In the same man ner as siiear has been handled and re endeavoring to serve as many of their customers as possible be fore the supply Is completely ex hausted. Wholesale firms are asking 8 and 9 cents per pound and are pre dicting that this will be liberally In creased within the next 24' hours. Verne Parkhurst, of the Roseburg Fruit and Produce company, rcpre renting the Pacific Fruit company, this morning received a wire In Hructins him to quote prices for to- div only at 9 cents. At this figure retail dealers are unable to make a profit without selling at a price of over to cents and consequently are refusing to buy more than enough to fill the absolute demand. Consumers are refusing to buy at this exorbitant price and dealers retiort Increased sales In rice, beans, macaroni and other such commodi ties which are being used on Rose burs tallies in lieu of the high priced spud. The dealers themselves are refusing to buy from the wholesale houses and are determined to allow their stocks of potatoes to become completely exhausted rather than to continue to pay tho price demanded ry tne speculators. r A few cull potatoes, nurchased lo- (!!- last fall, were sold today at 6 cents, but these were closed out early, and at the present time the "and 10 cent spud is all that can 1 found in Uoseburg. The samp potatoes that are now selling at the high rate, were pur chased by speculators last fall at a mre not exieeding 3 cents and on an averaee of about 2 cents. They nave been kept off the market and tne price advanced until at the pres ent time the cost to the consumer has become enormous. The act if profiteering which is so evident, can tint In SnV manner ha Dira,llail In local dealers, for in many instances the retail dealers are selling at the same price as the wholesaler de mands, the handling of the commod ity being merelv a courtesv to the 'The only solution Is for the con sumers to co-operate with us and Quit buving until the nrice lowers." ne of the prominent grocers of the ' 8,ali this morning.

NEW DEPARTURE HERE lis Been Tried Bucccwf ully In Otbar School Is Outgrowth Here of Vnusual TalenU Which Uu Been Shown by Pupils. ' The merry-go-round, the ferrla wheel, the fat lady, and the "hlt-'em-once one-clgar-games" will all be here on Hay It, at the high school carnival to be sponsored here on that date by the student body and to be given at the high school building. A carnival of this kind Is an entirely new departure locally, and it la thot that It will be a big success. Sev eral of the high school teachers have been employed in other schools where they were given and In each case at those places they were highly successful and amusing. The carnival Ib also partly an out growth of the singular success which the high school pupils have attained in their vaudeville attempts previ ously in the present year, and the town as well as school people are be-t ginning to realise that the student body at the pronent time contains talent which In many cases compares favorably wit htralned professionals. The Inter-class vaudevilles, which have been held every week In the auditorium have brought out these ! amateur talents in an exceeoiuuij good light, and it Is now the In ten- tion of those who are at the head of' the carnival to give an entertain-1 ment which Is specifically for the , town people, to give them an opoor-i tunlty to see tho students at iuairi best. All the public Is asked to be pres ent and' see what the embryo Pader- ewskis. Pavlowas and Ethel liarry- mores can do, and an entertainment ;.itivn each vear by the smart set In New York and other centers of fash ionable life.

The receipts will go to pay the expenses, with the surplus to go into the general fund of the student body.
