SPECULATORS LOOSING OUT Sheepmen Differ Regarding Profits This Year as Compared With Last Last year was an abnormal year for the sheepmen of the Northwest owing to the speculative features. The American is a natural born speculator. He delights in taking a chance. The war brought on on unusual demand for wool and during the latter part of 1917 vision of $1.00 a pound for wool was entertained and 50 and 60 cents a pound actually paid for great quantities. Tho demand for sheep be came greater than tho supply, prices commenced at $8 and soon jumped to $10 per head and kept climbing until $12 and $15 became tho standard value. The spring of 1918 sheep with lambs at their side before shearing brought as high as $25 per head. Speculation in wool was about to make the prices so high that tho government was compelled to fix tho prices on a basis of the market of 1917. The action of the government in a measure took the speculation out of tho sheep industry and a general re-adjustment is now gradually taking place, con sequently today we hear much pro and con. Some growers declare that the government has not fixed an equitable price and to hear their presentation of the question they seem to have much to sustain their position. Shear ing cost about 22 cents in 1918 as compared with 15 cents the, preceed' ing year;; herders formerly paid $60 are now receiving from $75 to $100; hay that was secured in the fall of 1916 cost not to exceed $10 per ton, this year the price is from $15 to $20 with a general shortage of range. With this array of facts they main tain that the government price is not in keeping with the actual conditions now prevailing, and4he sheep busi ness as a whole is not encouraging. Not a few of the men who have fol lowed the sheep business for years take Another view and maintain that this year they will make more money than last year. While admitting the statements as above cited are true they maintain that few sheep men realized the price the government has fixed, as the greater portion of the wool was in the hands of the specu lators before the prices began to soar, that a great many of the sheepmen contracted the 1917 clip around 30 cents, while today buyers are offer ing to advance 45 cents per pound for the 1918 clip and while price has not yet been acturately fixed it is expected that the grower will receive about 55 to 60 cents per pound. If the grower receives the government price some sheepmen state that they will make more clear money, notwithstanding the higher prices paid for everything than they did during 1917. The speculator who jumped into the business often unprepared with refer ence to experience in handling sheep, limited range and relying wholly up on huying his hay is caught at the present time because his sheep are not ready to go onto the market and with range shortage and facing high priced hay he practically must sell. For this reason stock sheep are not bringing the fancy prices tnat were quoted this spring. "Choice fat mut ton sheep is still bringing a fancy price. The future is bright for the old time sheepman who owns his range, grows his own hay and is always prepared to winter his flocks year m and year out. In other words those who in normal times who mode money in sheep will continue to do so and as stated may make larger profits dur ing the present year than they did in 1917. BUYING HAY Joe Anacabc Purchased 22,000 Tons For Feeding Purposes. Joe Anacabo of McDermitt was in this valley this week contracting for hay. He bought the crops on the Din widdie and Harbour ranches and will be. here next week with a crew of men to begin the harvest. Joe, who formerly lived in this val ley and was married here about six years ago. will return to make his homo in this valley. He will live in n bungalow on tho Dinwiddle ranch to oversee tho hay harvest and the feed ing of his cattle next winter Joe-ond an associate have contracted for ever Twenty-tw thousand tons of hay in the Snake river valley.

Fuel dealers throughout Oregon are forwarding to Fuel Administrator Holmes their reports as to the amount of coal consumed annually in their various districts. It is expected that the survey will be completed in a few days. The Burvey was ordered by the National Fuel Administration as part of a nation wide inquiry to ascertain what the normal demand should be. As soon as the data is tabulated, it is expected that the government will announce a new distribution plan un der which householders who failed to get in fuel supplies during the sum mer, will be compelled to go through the winter on "fuel rations."

Portland, Oreioa America's great corn crop, exceed ing 3,000,000,000 bushels, will save tho world's food situation, olllclals ot the United Stales food administration be lieve. Corn Is the nation's best food cereal, housewives nre beginning to realize. It contains all the elements needed to keep the body in a state of health and when used according to tho scores of tried roclpes, especially when com bined with nn added portion of oil Or fat, will sustain life Indefinitely. In dian warriors In colonial dnys lived on parched corn ulono for mnny days at n time, and nt Valley Forgo parched corn was nt times the solo ration of the Continental soldiers. Owing to transportation difficulties caused by the war the corn crop moved more slowly to market this year than ever before. Now, however, the cereal Is reaching the millers nnd"consumers. In the menntlme the nation's surpluj wheat has been sent to Europe. Today thero arc approximately 30 bushels of corn for every American. This quantity is greater by flvo bush els than In former years. Corn has become the nation's mo.'n- stny In the crisis of war. Just as this cereal saved Uio first American colonists from famine on many occasions, just as It served as a staple food during the War of tho Hot olutlon end during the Civil War, King Corn has again come to the front In the nntlon's battle with autocracy. Corn meal Is finding greatly Increas ed use in the making of ordinary white bread. Hundreds of housewives and many of the larger bakers are mixing 20 per cent, corn meal with wheat Hour to make leavened bread. This kind of n mixture Js worked and baked In the same recipes and with the same methods that apply to straight wheat bread. Corn bread using corn mel entire ly is gaining n greater popularity than ever before. Housewives are coming to realize that every pound of wheat saved In America means a pound pf wbent released for shipment to-llio nations with which America is associ ated In tho war. There arc n score of corn products that today possess unusual Importance for Americans. Corn syrup for sweet ening corn cakes and buckwheat enkes and for use in tho kitchen Instead of granulated sugar Is one of tho leading products made from corn. Corn oil, excellent for frying and for every other purpose filled by salnd oils, Is appearing on tho mnrkot In largo quantities. It comes from the germ of the corn. MADE-IN-GERMANY LIES CIRCULATED IN CANADA Canada Is also having trouble with Made-ln-dermnny lies calculated to hinder Canadian food conservation ac cording to nn olllelnl statement re ceived from tho Cnnadinn food con troller by the United States food ad ministration. Tho stories bothering Conndn are of the same general character as tlioso the United States food administra tor recently denounced In this coun try, such as tho ridiculous snlt nnd blueing famine fakes and the report that tho government would solzo housewives' stocks of homo canned goods. Tho Canadian food controller esti mates that when tho peoplo listen ta and pass on such stories, each ono has the power of destruction that lies In a battalion of soldiers. "Stories without even n vestlgo of foundation have been scattered broad cast," said tho Canadian statement. "Nor have they come to life casually. They have started simultaneously In different parts of tho country nnd In each Instnnco have been calculated to arouso public Indignation, "They ore Insidious, subtle, persist ent, lilt by bit they dlsslpato public trust, tho great essential In tho work of food control, "It lies with every Individual to for bear from criticism; to rcfrnln from passing on tho vagrant nnd harmful story, and thus the more effectively to co-opera to In work which Is going to mean more tlmn the majority of peoplo yet realize." THE UNITED STATES FOOD ADMINISTRATION 8AY8; There la no royal road to food conservation, We can only ac complish this by the voluntary action of our whole people, each element In proportion to Its means. It Is a matter of equality of bur den; a matter of minute saving and substitution at every point In the 20,000,000 kitchens, on the 20 r 000,000 dinner tables, and In the 2,000,000 manufacturing, whole sale and retail establishments of the country, Above The Clouds The Y.
