THE MOKNTNTG 6$EGOAN VEDNjESDA--JTOK 7iSK5. L SELLS JT HIGHEST PRICES Million and a Half Pounds Go Under Sealed Bids at Shaniko. ONE LOT AT 26 1-4 CENTS Nearly as Large a Quantity Will Be Disposed of in Like 3ranner Today at the Same Market. SHAXIKO, pr June 6.-(Special.)-The highest price paid for wool In Eastern Oregon In 25 years -was paid to the grow ers of this section of the state at the pub lic auction sales here today. The sales were conducted on the scaled bids system, and prices ranged from 21 to cents for Merino wools. One small clip of cross-bred Lincoln wool sold for 26U cents. These wools were formerly marketed at The Dalles, but since the completion of the railroad to this point sales have been conducted here. The prices are the high est paid this season at any Eastern Ore gon point, and Wasco County maintains its reputation" as the leading wool mar ket in the state. The high prices which prevailed at to day's sales are especially gratifying to the growers,, by reason of the fact that their loyalty to the sealed-bid system has been rewarded by from 3 to 5 cents per pound increase over prices paid those who contracted earlier. Fully three-fourths of the wools grown in the state were con tracted during the Winter and early in the Spring, this section being the only noticeable exception where the offers of tempting prices failed to make serious in roads into the clip to be marketed. Local growers who- held are highly elated over the success of the public sales, while the few who contracted here are correspondingly sorry that they did not stand by the sealed-bid plan. The success of this year's public sales firmly estab lishes the popularity and proves the wis dom of the plan. This being the only point in the slate where a large quantity of the choice wools would be ottered for sale on the sealed-bid plan, a large number of buyers were at tracted to the sales, and 20 representa tives of the leading wool merchants and manufacturers in the East and West wore present. The following were the principal buyers and the amounts secured by them: Pounds. J. Koshlond & Co.. Boston K75.000 Lafayette Worsted Mills, Woon- socket, R. I. 450.000 Whitman. Farnnvorth & Thayer.

Or.... 25.000 Total - 1,005.000 Owing to the quantity' of wool offered the sales could not be completed ' today, and they will be continued tomorrow, when It Is estimated that another million pounds will be sold. The following were among the largest clips sold and prices realized: Baldwin Sheep & Land Company. 200,000 pounds at 23ic Prlnevllle Land & Livestock Comp'any, 125,000 pounds at 23Jc Morrow & Keenan. 90,000 pounds at ZSJic R.

OREGON CITY. Or., June 6. (Special.) Damage to fall grata, which in locali ties has been felled to the ground, has resulted from the continuous showers of the last week. George LaZelle, a farmer from New Era, reports that the rains have lowered to the ground an acre field of his Velvet Chaff wheat, which he fears will have to be cut for bay. This field was one of the finest pieces of grow ing grain in the county, the stalks hav ing attained a height of six feet and the grain was well headed out Barring further unfavorable weather conditions, the grain crop of Clackamas County this year will be without prece dent with respect to yield, Mr. LaZelle estimating that this field would have pro duced between 50 and 60 bushels to the acre. The aphis pest has appeared on wheat and oats in some sections, but not to the extent but that a few days of warm weather will rid the grain of the destructive visitor. Except unfavorable weather interferes with the harvest, the yield of hay in this county this year will be a record-breaker, the stand of grass being exceptionally heavy and of fine quality.

FREQUENT IN WASHINGTON Attorney-General Says the Authority to Release Debts Does Not Ex . tend to the Collection of. County Dues. OLYMPIA, Wash-, June . (Special.) That the custom of County Commis sioners in this state in compromising and compounding taxes Is illegal and void is declared in an opinion filed by the Attorney-General today. The Attorney-General says the question has never been squarely passed upon by the courts, but he quotes tho dictum of the Supreme Court in the case of the City of Whatcom vs. Roeder, 61 Pacific Reporter, that "a tax is not a debt," as bearing out the contention that the Legislature in giving County Commis sioners authority to compound and re lease debts did not givo them that au thority over taxes. He also says that section 9. of article 31, of the Constitution, forbidding the release of any portion of taxes levied for state purposes must be taken into consideration In arriving at the mean ing to be given to the section of the code permitting the compounding or release of county debt. The question was presenter, to the Attorney-General by the Prosecuting Attorney of Thurston County, where the Commissioners desire to stipulate with the original owners for the set ting aside of-Judgments and decrees of foreclosures of taxes in certain in stances. The Attorney-General declares that in such cases title has passed to the county, and that there Is no au thority for the transfer of the title by stipulation. Inasmuch as the compromising of taxes is a common occurrence in all counties, the effect of the opinion will be far-reaching in governing future actions of Commissioners. It is said. however, in reference to property on which taxes have already been com promised, that the county is the only party that can raise the question of title, and that the owners are not likely to be seriously inconvenienced by the clouding of the title.

The State Labor Commissioner an nounces the ruling that payment of the $10 fee for examination by the State Labor Commissioner Js not optional with, but compulsory, upon all fac tories, mills and workshops. Tomor row the new factory-inspection law takes effect- There are probably 2000 factories, mills and -workshops in this state that without question are af fected hy tbe law, but less than 50 of them have so far applied for lnspec tion. After tomorrow it is anticipated that fees and requests for inspection will come in more rapidly. The gravest question nbw before the Labor Com missioner and one that he has present ed to the Attorney-General related to Just what constitutes a factory, mill or workshop. There are hundreds of In stitutions that are included in the doubtful list, such as buildings operat ing elevators, outside machinery at mines, hotel laundries and the many places where machinery Is merely inci dental to the other purposes of the in stitution. If the Attorney-General rules that these arc Included within the scope of the law s operations, the number of In stitutions that roust pay $10 each to the State Treasurer will be raised to 3000 or 4000. The- four inspectors who begin -work under tho new law are: H. L. Salnave, of Spokane; George Gregg. Tacoma; B, F. Huff. Iloquiatn; Fred York, Mount Vernon. They will confer with Labor Commissioner Hubbard and immediate ly begin examining mills and notifying those that have- not paid the fcos that they are in danger of fine for violation of law.

SALEM, Or., June R. (SpcciaL) Ac cording to reports that have been re ceived by Master Fish Warden H. G. Van Dusen, the McKcnxle River Is full of salmon, this condition evidently hav ing been brought about by the con struction of a good fish way over the falls at Oregon City.
