PORTLAND MAN MAKES ONE OF
BIGGEST GRAIN DEALS
IN YEARS
BIG DAYTON POOL IS PURCHASED
Houser Accomplished Similar Feat
Last Fall When He Cleared
At Least Half
Million
PORTLAND, Aug. 28. One of the
largest grain deals ever put through
in the Pacific Northwest came to light
today. By the purchase of the Day
ton barley pool, M. H. Houser, the ex
porter of this city, practically secured
a corner on all the brewing barley
produced in this part of the country.
Mr. Houser accomplished a similar
feat last year and is credited with
cleaning up a quarter of a million
dollars by the operation. Last year
he sold his barley in the East. This
year he will export it.
The 1912 barley pool at Dayton con
tained about 125,000 sacks of brewing
grade barley. For this Mr. Houser
paid the farmers $1.25 a hundred,
which ia the highest price paid for
barley for export purposes in many
- years. At the close of last week the
Houser agents in the Dayton country
bought up all the individual lots of
choice barley to be had, aggregating
more than 215,000 bags. The total
purchase of more than 250,000 Bags
netted the barley farmers of that sec
tion in excess of $300,000.
It is estimated by grain men that 90
per cent of the brewing barley in the
Dayton, Waitsburg and Pomeroy- sec
tions has now passed into the hands
of Mr. Houser, who has also bought
this quality in other districts.
It is probable thaf( nearly all his
purchases will go to Europe. The
barley crop abroad has suffered ser
ious damage by recent unfavorable

bition will start at 9:30 o'clock. Im
mediately after the judging of fruits
and vegetables exhibited by the school
children, the baby show will be held.
The exhibition will continue through
out the day. -
The second day of the juvenile fairs,
although it rained in some sections,
was a decided success. The first fair
visited by the delegation from Oregon
City, including Superintendent of Pub
lic Instruction Alderman, J. D. Mess
ier of Oregon Agricultural .College,
County Superintendent Gary, and the
judges was held at Clarkes. A beaut
iful exhibit was spread on tables froni
the schools of that section. Address
es were made by Messrs. Alderman,
Gary and Ressler. J. J. Gard had
charge of the fair, assisted by Dora
Marquardt and Olga Elmer. The ex
hibitors were Lillie Schiewe, Pauline
Hoffstetter, Ruth Banland, Elda Mar
quardt, Alfred Marquardt, Rupert Mar
quardt, Dora Marquardt, Ella Schiewe,
Rufh Chindgren, Margaret Liechwies,
Florence Kleinsmith, W. Kleinsmith,

Clyde Kingo, Arthur Herlow, Alva
Gard and Elmer Rodgers. Owing to
the absence of Dr. Guy Mount, who
was delayed on account of business.
Mr. Gary assisted by Professor Ford
judged the babies at the show' and
Clarkes. The babies entered in the
show were: Elbert Larkins, Zelha
Marshall, Marvin Dillow, Lennea Bur
gman, Lynn Wallace and Norma Wal
lace. Molalla was reached at noon where
dinner was served by the women. Aft
er dinner, the exhibits were judged.
There were several excllent exhibits
in which vegetables, needle work, art
work and canned goods were exhibit
ed by individuals. The vegetables in
the exhibit were of the best quality
and the canned goods were uniform
and well put up. An exhibit which at
tracted much attention was that of
three sisters, Mary, Bessie and Maude
Echerd. This exhibit was a large
one, of much variety and of good qual
ity. Professor Ressler in an address
at the Molalla fair fold how many of
the boys work their "way through the
college. He told of one boy who came
to college to take a short term course
of six weeks, and when asked why he
did not take a full term course, he
explained that he could nat afford
it. He was told by the faculty that if
he could work he could go through
college. He now has only one year
more before graduation and he has
made his expenses through the entire
course. He told how there was a de
mand for leaders in all kinds of work,
and that a 'young man must secure an
education in order to be a leader in
any work that he undertakes. Mr.
Ressler told the parents that they
should encourage the children to re
ceive university education.
Mr. Alderman spoke at Molalla and
said that he believed in many cases
the parents took more interest in the
stock around the fafm than in their
children. He told of one man he knew
who could tell the pedigree, the num
ber, and history of the cows on his
farm, but when asked how many chil
dren he had, was forced to count them
on his fingers though he only had sev
en. The exhibitors at Molalla were:
Dave Steinger, Maude Steininger,
Myrtlei Dart, Elsie Dart, Mary Ech
erd, Virgil Dart, Alice Carpenter,
Mary Echerd, Agnes Clifford, Ruth

Harless, and Ethel Carpenter. The
fair was in charge of W. W. Everhart
who was assisted by Leo Shaver. Ow
ing to a whooping cough epidemic no
baby show was held at Molalla.
Canby held its fair at the fair
grounds. The exhibit was very large
and of extraordinary quality. There
were many large individual exhibits as
well as school exhibits. The Macksburg
school had a very large exhibit which
covered two long tables. The exhibit
from this school was arranged care
fully and artistically. Mr. Alderman
commented on the exhibit as being
larger and of better quality than that
of many county fairs that he had vis
ited. John P. Robbins had one of the
largest exhibits at the fair. The lad
had began early in the spring to plan
for the, exhibit. His exhibit includ
ed vegetables of all descriptions,
chickens, roosters, ducks, bird houses,
grains, including alfalfa hay. His ex
hibit was considered wonderfull by
all who viewed it, as the lad Is only
twelve years old and was assisted by
no one. He took much pride in his
exhibit and explained it to all the vis
itors. Walter Keesling of Macksburg also
had a large variety of vegetables ar
well as poultry and furniture. The
musk melons that he exhibited were
of unusual fine quality. A model of

relating to discrimination in favor of
American coastwise shipping in the
Canal. If, after due consideration, it
is found that no satisfactory agree
ment can be reached in the matter,
Great Britain declares it will be neces

SINGLE TAX MAN

F. E. COULTER IS PUT TO ROUT
BY OPPONENTS OF FELS'
PLAN
SHIELDS MAKES GOOD ARGUMENT
"Graduated Single Tax Is But Single
Tax," Declares Speaker
Authorities Given To
Prove Statement
GRANTS PASS," Or.,f Aug. 28, (Spe
cial.) Following the trip of Chas. H.
Shields, Secretary of the Oregon Equal
Taxation League, to Southern Oregon,
and' the manner in which he routed'
F. E. Coulter, Single Tax speaker on
more than one occasion, Mr. Coulter
has now absolutely declined to debate
upon the Single Tax issue with E. E.
Blanchard, candidate for the State
Legislature.
Before he will consent to speak on
the same platform with Mr. Blanchard
Mr. Coulter demands that Mr. Blan
chard confine himself entirely to Grad
uated Single Tax alone.
He further requires that Mr. Blan
chard. Mr. Coulter challenged them
Tax in the bill. Previous to the trip
of Mr. Shields and the joint speeches
made by Mr. Shields and Mr. Blan
chard, Mr. Coulter challeneged them
both to debate. On one occasion he
described Mr. Shields as a reprobate,
entirely; losing his temper and also
the sympathy of the audience.
In discussing this subject Mr. Blan
chard said in a recent interview:
"In the Portland Journal, the lead
ing Single Tax paper of Oregon, there
appeared a recent telegraphic dispatch
from London to the effect that Joseph
Fels had expended $150,000 in three
minor elections in England to favor
Single Tax candidates. Mr. Fels him
self declared he is backing a Single
Tax campaign in Oregon. Mr. W S.
U'Ren in a letter to the Oregonian
declared that the Graduated Tax meas
ure is an 'honest fiat-footed Single Tax
measure.'
"So, when Mr. Coulter wants me to
admit that Graduated. Single Tax is
not Single Tax, I am also inclined to
have considerable doubt regarding his
sanity.
"Graduated Single Tax is but Sin
gle Tax in a form that will appeal to
the emotions. It is Single Tax pure
and simple, and I give my authority
above. It will cause land confiscation
because the values given in the meas
ure are dependent upon present taxa
tion, and if the large landowners are
forced to sell instantly, as the Grad
uated Single Taxers claim, there will
be only but a number of small hold
ing to place the small taxation on and
as this will be impossible to provide
the) state and the county with the
amount of taxation required, the taxes
must accordingly quickly mount until
they become almost prohibitive on the
small tract.
"Under Graduated Single Tax we
should exempt all other forms of per
sonal property, so we have nothing
left but the land. Consequently it is
not difficult for any one to see that
Mr. Coulter is simply suffering from

fer with the management of the Pike,
Crane Paper Company, of Pittsfield,
Mass. The company is desirous of lo
cating a finishing plant in the west.
Denver, Col., is favored at present as
the location, but Mr. McBain hopes to
convince the officers that Oregon City
would be a better place. The plan is
to ship the unfinished paper to the
plant and convert it into writing pa
per, envelopes, tablets, etc. The cost
of shipping unfinished paper is com
paritively small, and it is planned by
the company to have a distributing .;
point in the west
It is announced that the company
will expend at least $100,000 in the
building of a plant, and will employ
at leas"t 200 persons. If the plant is
located in Oregon City it will supply
envelopes, tablets and fine writing pa
