food prices, reports -to statistics bu
reaus show, declined nearly 40 per
cent during the month ending July 15.
The labor department, in making,
public the figures today, Btates that
the decline was largely due to the de

diet of the 'average family. Flour de
creased 10 per cent and potatoes 33
per cent on the average.
Onions also decreased 27 per cent.

the meats, pork advanced more than

E. J. Hepp of Weiser, Idaho, passed
through the city Monday by auto en-
route from Weiser to Milwaukee where
he will make his future home. Mr.
Hepp formerly resided near Milwaukie
but for the past few'years has been
ranching near Weiser, engaged princi
pally In raising wheat. This year he
had in aUput 400 acres of wheat, but
owing to the dry season, realized but
four bushels to the acre, the tanners j
in that portion of the country not hav
ing a drop of rainfall from the time
the crops were sown until harvest
started. Mr. Hepp was, however, a
booster for that section of Idaho, stat
ing that it was the best country in the
world for a man who was just start
ing lu raising wheat, as land was cheap
and the yield went as high as 40 bush
els to the acre in years of normal rain
fall. Mr. Hepp drove hia car from
Weiser to Pendleton over the worst
roads he said he had ever experienced,
the dust being sometimes hub deep,
due to lack. ,of rain through the sum
mer. He Bhipped the car from Pendle
ton to The Dalles, and from the lat

PAULSON WILL FILED
SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 3. Albert
Bloss Jr., until last week an Instructor
In industrial arts in a local school,
served notice on the draft authorities
yesterday that when he is sent to the
Camp Lewis cantonment on October
4 he will not obey any order from the
military authorities, not even an order
to peel potatoes, on the ground that
he is a Presbyterian.
Bloss was born in Germany, but
came to the United States when he was
5 years old. He said he did not know
what the Presbyterian church thought
of war, but that he belonged to that
denomination because his mother had
told him so. He said he didn't attend
any church.
When asked it he sympathized with
Germany, Bloss replied: "No, unless
j it is a subconscious sympathy."
He was advised to obey orders when
he gets to Camp Lewis. t
Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Seller, frora
their home, was released from the city
jail this afternoon and will be taken
by his relatives to Portland tomorrow
to undergo an examination by a phy
sician. He was struck on the head
some time ago and It is feared his
brain is affected. He becomes flighty
at times and at the outbreak of the
Mexican trouble he boasted on the
streets of Portland that he was a slack
er and that he woud not report for
duty in the national guard. He was
arrested in Portland and held in jail
there until an investigation determined
that he did not belong to a military
organization.
E. & C. CO.
The will of Paul Paulson was filed
in the circuit court on Wednesday, the
will bequeathing the sum of $50 to E.
M. Paulson, but in case he should con
test the same all right to that sum is
forfeited, the balance of the property
going to Sophia Peterson, who is nom
inated executrix to serve without bond.
The estate is valued at about $10,000.
