NUMBER 89 Canned Salmon Rejected Details of rejections by the army of the entiro canned sal mon pack of 1918 and its resale to packers at cost, less certain refunds, were learned Saturday. The situation disclosed is that 1,T78,000 cases, approximately 5, 000, GOD cans, wora rejected as having failed to attain govern mont standard and. are now being marketed by packers. On July 26, thoro had been re turned to packers or shippod upon tl oir orders 540,003 cases. Befoco resale by packers to wholesalers, it is stated that . the goods aro cxaminod bv food inspectors at points of delivery, but what proportion is being passed as tit for consumption cannot bo ascertained. Thogov1 ernment standard is that from ' selected sum of staples not over 5 per cent of canB may bo bad. Officials of army purchase divi sion explain that probably large porportion of pack is good, but they could not afford to take chances on it. In February and March; it is Btutcdjicomplaints began coming from army camps that the sal mon was bad. Thereupon sam ples were ordered sont to Wash ington. Brands of over Bovonty different packers wore examin ed and a large majority wcro found to contain over 5 per cent of bad salmon. Somo brands vran under this proportion, but ' it was Impossible to detect bad cans without opening, because when salmon is packed after spoiling, go6d and bad havo the same outward appearances. Confcronco of packers was then called. In May representa tives of Pacific Coast Packers Association and of smaller pack ers mot army purchasing oDicials and were asked for an explana tion. The theory advanced by largo Alaskan packers was that tho oxtromo hot weather caused fish to spoil when on tho way to tho canneries. Smaller packers aro represented to havo said sinco arrangements were being mndo to roturn tho goods back thoy should como into it, too. Ex.

Worry Didn't Help I had a little field of wheat, fivo acres and a third; through winter storms and springtime heat my vigils wero absurd. I thought tho climate should be run with my small field in view, with jusl enough of wind and sun, and timely rain and dew. In other fields of great extent the wheat of neighbors waved: I didn't worry worth n cent if they wero lost or Bnvcd. Tho only wheat in all the land for which I cared a whoop was that. by idle zephyrs fanned, beforo my humble coop. I trembled when tho sky was bright, for fear a drouth would come: and clouds would fill mo with off right, lest wild tornadoes hum. I kicked if there was too much rain, and jawed tho brood inir sky; and I would grumble and complain if days were hot and dry. I ragged tho wind in heat cd terms when it enmo from tho west; I creamed of bugs and army worms, and overy other pest. My wheat is harvested nt last, it lived thru rust and blight, survived the torrent and the blast, and filled my bin all right. And I'd havo had as big n crop if I had let things slide, if I had raised no yelping ynmp nnd had not wept or sighed. I worried o'er thnt field so much I aged a hundred jsnrs, nnd now I hobblo on n crutch, nnd sec how vain woro fears. Walt Mason. Pretty Home Wedding Tho homo of Mrs. Edith D. Vin son, 582 S.

Ho left his homo in Tacoma and went up thero and spent several months pros pecting the regon alone. While out ini his canoe in tho Great Slavo Lake in pursuit of u wounded swan, ho landed on the beach of n little islund. He hud often seen tho island from shore, a little misshapen mound of black rock, treeless and desolate. It was .known among the Indians and trappers as Littlfl Caribou island.

Senator Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce, will be especially prominent at this session of Congress because of pending legislation before that committee. Senator Cummins has long been recognized as one of the foremost authorities on railroad regulation. His yiews"oiT the railroad question yrttl receive wide attention, : ' ' r The Perversity of Man "Why folks don't leave the city and move out intothe country," seems to be a ques tion that is engaging the minds of mnny political and economic philosophers. The answer is easy. Wages are too high Where, in the city? No, in the country. When tho government takes its ortmcuu price away from wheat and it drops to six bits a bushel,' then wheat fields will be full of men working 16 hours a day for a dollar. When form hands get $30 a month on tho farm they will leave the city for the farm job. Man is naturally a perverse cuss nnd he is iroing to do' just what he shouldn't do. He won't herd rheep at $75 a month, but he will for $30. He won't sotn hen when eggs aro worth four bits a dozen, hut ho will Bit up all night nursing a sick hon when eggs aro selling for eight cents and ho will milk cows from morning till night when butter is worth 35c a pound. Do you think he will split wood for $3 a cord. No.lt is too much money; ho would ruthemvult and next your work at it for a dolhr a cord.and so there is no use to talk about coming back to the farm now for the wages on a farm aro too high. Man is sure ly a pcrvcrso cuss and far too obstinate and contrary to even want to follow a trail. Canyon City Eagle. - When Juntos' A.

The bacon will no shipped from PnniD Lewis nnd it is probable thntrnt least one carload of the popular breakfast meat will reach the city by the end of the week. The shipment of tomatoes will como from l'ort fllnson, Cttl., and will not reach Portland until about August 15. Author ization of the purchase of the food Btull'B was given by the city council Tuesduy to City Commissioner Pier at a spe cial meeting called by Mayor linker. Not only has Cnmmls sioner Peir been "investod with power to make the purchases mentioned, but ho also may continuo to purchase food stulf from the government' as long as. the supply and demnnd exist. The bacon which tho city will purchase is of good grade, which City Purchasing Agent Mcintosh says sells at whole sale for 12 cunts a pound and rotnils to tho consumer at prices between GO cents nnd 55 cents a pound. Tho city will procure this -bacon for III cents per pound plus freight charges, which will bring tho coHt of the bacon to tho buyers at about Hi 1 2 cents per pound. The cnrload of tomatoes will contain Hti.OOO cans, for which the clt will pay llii cents per can phis freight charges, bringing the approximate cost to the consum or to Mi cents per can. Tho same grade of tomatoes retail at prices between 20 and 2G cents tier can, according to Mr. Mc lntosh. Final arrangements for tho handling of tho foodstulfs has not yet been determined by Commissioner Pier. Simon Mro titers, operating a storo nt First, Second and Alder streets, havo offered to handle tho foodstulfs for tho city without cost. Wrap ping paper, string, cost of wages for employes and other incidental costs will not bo as sessed either against tho city proper or added to tho cost of tho foodstulfs. Julius L. Meier, general manugor of Molnr Ironk company, hns offered to to sell tho city-bouirht goods on co8t-nlus scale. "This purchase of fooditull's," said Commission er Pier, will give tho pooplo of Portland an opportunity to lay In supplies for tho winter at prices below wholesale costs. It presents a wonderful opportun ity to break down tho high cost of living and 1 feel sure that tho people will welcome tho op portunity avnilod thum through action of tho city council." Or- egonian.

"Tlwso rates are not lawful," says Tomlinson, ami tho com puny is certainly tnking a high handed stand whou it tries to foist them on the public. Com nany officials claim thnt tho new rates wero ordered by Postmaster General Burleson, but thoy have not been uble to produce uny such order." Tomlinson says subscribers muy, if they so do. sire, tender puyrncnt of bills to the company on the old pro wnr schedule, but oven this is not necessary. Meantime the tele, phono company ia swamped with orders from all purta of the city to have phones taken out. CityTrallic Expert E. M. Cousin ended his term of service wi n tho city Wednesday morning. He strongly advises tho 'public not to pay any bills until the lawful rate is definitely es tablished; Cousin goes back to his private business as traflic at torney in tho Railway Exchange building.
