BOARD MAKES REPORT Anxiety on Part of Cunatuners Hoard Holds WiU Ultimately Result In Decided Reduction of High Costs of Everything. WASHINGTON, April 29. Re ports from federal reserve agents throughout the 'country showed marked tendency of prices to resume their upward movement, the fedoral reserve board reported tonight in Its summary of business conditions for April. But the board noted the hopeful sign from the consumers' viewpoint, of "anxiety concerning the overstrained situation resulting from excessively high prices and wages', "which It la believed forecast a slow ing down In the skyrocketing of prices. While high prices of necessaries were obviously chargeable to Inef ficiency and under production to a large degree, the board advanced the belief that already high costs of pro duction were aggravated by the ad ded expense of obtaining - capital. The result has been that, during April, conditions were not as favor able to a drop In prlcea as they were In February and March, according to the summary. "While the agricultural outlook Is distinctly less satisfactory than It was a month ago." the summary says, "and while the month of April has been a period of serious labor disturbances, especially In the trans portation field, the activity of busi ness has continued high, demands for products strong and with prices tending upward rather than down ward. Industries are not. as a whole, booked as far ahead, relative ly speaking, aa In the past, although in some lines the volume of unfilled orders is very large. "The export trade holds up in an i.nexpected degree and bank credit, although not materially larger In volume than at the opening of April, has had to follow more or less the course of demand, so that expansion of various points has taken the place of reductions effected at others." The board "viewed with some fclnrm" the question of obtaining adequate labor for the farm. This question was considered the most difficult element of the whole labor situation and was declared to de mand deepest study In order to obvl e serious results both to the pro ducer and the consumer.

ETO 8E BUILT SOON The Cannery Company Orders Building Material and Will Start Construction. TO OPERATE OLD PLANT Mill Street Cannery to be Used Again This Summer and New Plant Will Probably be Erected During the Stammer sum! Fall. Building materials for the build ing of the Rupert cannery have been ordered and should arrive within a few days, occordlng.to word received this morning. Cement for the foun dations has already been shipped from Portland and the construction engineer of the A. Rupert company which Is to erect the local plant will arrive within a few days to take charge of the work. Only the warehouse unit will bo built this summer and 'the actual canning and manufacturing work will be done at the old plant on Mill street. Unless great care Is taken and unless the temperature of the building is kept even, the tin cans used for canning the fruit, will rust. The only method of preventing this without a warehouse Is by the lacquer" method which is very ex pensive but which is necessary to save the cans. The Umpqua Grow ers association last year was forced to adont the expensive method, the sweating" of the cans having caused considerable loss.

The finished product is kept in the warehouse until such a time as it is shipped to the market nnd In this way considerable loss Is eliminated. The warehouse plans have not yet arrived and it is not known Just what nature of a building will he erected. However, it will lie of sub stantial construction and of a large size as the company Intends to put up an expensive cannery at this place. Other units will be added rupldly and during the summer It Is hoped thst work on the main can nerv building will be taken up. - The Rupert company recently took over the holdings of the Umpqua Growers' association, the stockhold ers being permitted to exchange their shares for preferred stock In he larger cornoratlon or else receive; cash In exchange.

Albright, the district manager of the B. F. Good rich Rubber company, and one of the enthusiastic motorists and good roads advocates of the Pacific coast, in commenting on the caravan of motor cars to the Stockton conven tion of advertising clubs In May, states that great strides towards the completion of plans for the Pacific northwest Ad Club's caravan were made at the meeting of the caravan committee and interested representa tives from Spokane, Portland, Ta comu, Vancouver and Victoria. B. C. at the Seattle Motor Car Dealers' club last Sunday. That old bromide "enthusiasm was rife," Interprets the spirit of the meeting perfectly and the schedule and program . prepared is "chock" full of "wim, wlgor and wltality." The last tentative schedule which al lows an extra day and eliminates tiresome driving periods, met with the hearty approbation of all present and it has been definitely decided ary with its days runs and stopping places will be as follows: Monday. Mar 17. Seattle to Portland. 209 miles, with a stop for lunch at Che halls, St. Helens hotel; Tuesday. May 18, Portland to Eugene. 129 miles, stop at Salem, the capital city, or Albany, the hub of the Willam ette valley; Wednesday, May 19, Eugene to Grants Pass. 147 miles, stop at Roseburg. the heart of the Umpqua valley, Medford and Ash land; Thursday. Ashland to Shasta Sprinas, 142 miles, with a stop for roadside lunch (bottled or boxed). At Shasta Springs arrangements have been made to nnve the hotels at the Springs and Shasta Relreat open for the caravan party: Friday, Mar 21, Shasta Springs to Chlco, 117 miles, stop at Redding for lunch; Satnrdav.

Crampton, of the advertising bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Com merce, Main 6060. I The question of banners and badges, taken up at the round table, resulted In a general banner for the entire caravan, with Individual names Inserted and individual badges for each unit. In keeping with the Idea that this Is to be the greatest publicity venture ever put forth on the coast cards were also being ar ranged for which will advertise both the northwest and the person mak ing the presentation. This card will bo printed in four colors and will contain Puget Sound and Columbia river scenes and the slogan, "The Northwest, Our Home Land. Your Playground." "Visit me at Seattle or Tacoma or Spokane or Portland, etc., John Doe." Another valuable publicity event will be the film of the scenic north west which will be shown at every night stopping place. Seattle. Spo kane, Portland. Tacoma and Van couver will enter Into this with a maximum of one thousand feet for each city. Principal manufacturing and beauty spots of the various cities will be shown In this film. Indications are at present that the caravan will contain slightly over one hundred cars with an average of four people to a car. Passengers In other peoples cars will be taxed only the cost of a railway fnre to Stock ton and they ate urged to register as promptly as possible with J. H! Crampton at the chamber of com merce. Following the meeting at the Dealers' club, the committee and guests were entertained at luncheon at the Plg'n Whistle. Then Just as a foretaste of what the caravan trip will be, the party was motored out to the Carnation stock farm, home of the contented cow. as guests of H. O.

Dexter Rice on HowellMurder Case Attorney Dexter Rice left this af ternoon for Eugene from where he will go to Coqnllle to assist the prosecution in the Howell case which is to bo heard for the third time uext week. Harold Howell, who if accused of having killed Lillian Leu tbold of Dandon, has been on trlul two times, the Juries having dis agreed both times, and is now to lie brought before the court for the third time. The expense of his de fense has caused his parents to be come poverty stricken and a popular subscription was taken in the state to raise money to assist in defending him.

APPLICANT IS IN CITY Desires to Put Up Building Where Lhrht Lunches Could Be Dis pensed and Will Agree to Take Care of Grounds. In the event the people of Rose- liurg decide that the auto camp grounds shall be taKen over ana managed by the city, tne council win probably eliminate a large portion of the expenses by granting concessions to some person who In exchange will take care of the grounds. It Is stat ed that there Is a man here at the , present time to make arrangements "s for such a deal If possible and will await the action of the voters at the coming election. It Is proposed that if the city taxes over the ground to allow a person to use a portion of the space for a building where a light lunch counter may be conducted, baths and other concessions maintained if desired. In exchange for this privilege the per son to whom the council grants this permission will sgrce to keep the grounds clean and In good condition and assist tourists In parking their r-ars and finding camping sites. On account of the rapid growth It Is necessary that a man be kept at the grounds practically all of the time, and if the proposed addition Is made the expense of maintenance will be quite heavy unless some ar rangements such as are proposed are reached. The council. If authorized to take over the grounds, will en deavor to secure the property to the rear of the Wlmherly home, which will almost double the size of the present holdings. Already the camp grounds are overcrowded and a great deal more room will be neces sarv. There Is a man In the city who de sires to obtain permission to erect a small structure at the grounds where he wants to operate a light lunch counter and other such con cessions. He also has a sandwich wagon which he desires to put on 'he streets, but on account of the ordinance which prohibits such wagons from standing in one block for more than 10 minutes, he will probably not put the wagon Into operation. It has also been suggested that a concession be granted to some per son to i laintafn a bath house for tonrp's. and It is believed that con sider ible money could be made dur !ne tbp summer season. Tbe person to whom this conces sion Is granted would be required by the council to agree to fake charge of i be "rounds and keep them clean 1' nil times and to assist tourists In fle-tln cabining snots and do such other work as might be necessarv. s onlv a small amount of money Is ovailable for this work, the council fos that It Is Imperative that some -method be followed to reduce the. ex penses to the lowest minimum. Sugar Price to Go Up Again Sugar sold today at 823 per sack and 24 cents In small lots. A few stores were celling small lots at 25 aipfr Hack and three pounds for 31, according to the statements or sugar salesmen who are in close touch with 'he situation. Refiners are passing he buck for t he high prices to the peculators and the speculators to he planters while In the meantime !re wholesaler, retailer and con sumer "get it in the neck." Local tores are well supplied, a carload of sugar having arrived and are selling for the time being In 100-pound lots where desired. The sacks sr going fast for with the fruit canning sea ion coming on householders are tak ing no chance, and ar buying In spite of the highly Inflated prices. Stores are planning on buvfng only enough to suppl ythe local demand and in the event the price advance gain will doubtless lefuse to buy even a small amount.
