There is a small ray of comfort for
the sugar consumer, for raw sugar del-lined
25 cents per 100 pounds in the
New- York market yesterday, ripot
raws sold at $6.27. This had no ef
fect, however, on the price of refined.
Curiously enough, war prices for
eugar will lay heavier toll on the
United States than any other country,
for Americans consume more per capita.
In 1012 the total consumption for the
United States was 3.504,182 tons, or
SI. 30 pounds per capita.
A remedy for the present extreme
cost of sugar in this country, it Is
said. Is for a way to be opened for
Kngrlasai to import sugar from Russia.
If commerce can be re-established be
tween the two countries, then the pres
sure of competition in the American
market will be relieved and the price
of sugar will drop quickly.
This was the remedy applied in 1911.
when the former high record in sugai
was made In this country. Causes that
brought It about were somewhat sim
ilar. An extremely dry Summer burned
up the beet fields of Germany and
Austria, so England was compelled to
turn to the American sugar market
for supplies.
Speculation Is Curbed.
In 1911 a heavy speculation in sugar
was started in London and Liverpool
and speculators bought all they could
get hold of. Finally, when the retail
price went to $7.55 In the Portland
market in September. 1911, Knglnd
was successful in getting Russia to
release quantities of sugar for British
use, and the upward flight of sugar
was stopped.
The United States uses about 300.000
tons of sugar a month and the British
Isles 170,000 tons. In a year the two
countries use 5.600.000 tons. During
the first half of this month, England
had taken about 100,000 tons of raw
and refined sugar overseas from
America.
Sugar refiners and jobbers on this
Coast declare they are preventing sugar
speculation. Only legitimate needs,
they say. are being supplied. Refin
ers will not sell large lots, even at
present high prices, and jobbers are
putting a check on purchases to safe
guard their stocks and prevent further
Inflation of prices.
Cuba Heaviest Producer.
Cuba leads all America in the pro
duction of sugar, her mills turning out
almost .2.OS0.0OO tons of cane sugar in
a year. Hawaii comes next with a lit
tle over 500.000 tons. Porto Rico pro
duces about 350,000 tons, Louisiana,
320.000 tone and the Philippines 200,
ou ions. Besides somewhat over 500,
000 tons of beet sugar are produced in
the United States. Europe grows beet
sugar exclusively.
Cakes, cookies and crackers in which
sugar enters were advanced one cent
a pound yesterday as a natural result
of the high cost of granulated sweet
ness. Manufacturers of sweet biscuits
of various sorts that retail in the mar
kets for five cents a package are in
a quandary as to what advance to make
It is thought the trade would hardly
stand a rise to ten cents and odd cents
are not popular in price quotations to
the retail trade.
Shredded cocoanut made a further
advance yesterday of half . a cent a
pound, making a total rise of 14 cents
within a week.
lis: Advance Thought NaasuaL
Eggs were a little higher in Portland
market yesterday, but this is attributed
to short supplies and heavy demand
for eggs as food during the hot weather
period when meats are less in favor.
Kggs have been hesitating on the verge
of an advance for some days and yes
terday they finally stepped over. Best
candled are 28 ce"nts and fancy select
eggs SO cents.
Condensed milk is due for a rise
shortly, due to the extremely dry pas
tures that prevail in the dairy districts
of the state. The long dry spell has
hit the dairy business hard already, re
sulting in advances in butter and cheese
prices. It Is expected that, as farmers
are asking more for their milk, the
tinned article will advance shortly.

CENSOR CHANGES RULE
FULL SAME IS XOT RJSQUIRED IN
FUTURE CABLES TO EUROPE.
Western Union Notified Length of Mes
sage May Be Cat by Use of
Surname Only.
The cabling situation to Europe was
relieved yesterday in the advice re
ceived at the local Western Union of
fice of the British censor's ruling that
the full name of the sender is no longer
required in the signature of cable mes
sages and surname used alone will be
sufficient.
All messages' to foreign countries
must be written in plain English or
French except to Switzerland and Tur
key, when French only can be used.
Full addresses and the surname of
the sender are required. Messas to
well-known persons, firms or institu
tions now will be accepted without
street and number at the risk of the
sender. These requirements. which
serve to augment the length of mes
sages and to increase the cost to the
public, are imposed by the British mili
tary authorities.
The suspension by the British Tele
graph System and other Western Union
connections beyond London of the de
ferred plain language and the Cable
Letter and Week-End services has
made it necessary to suspend those
services except to Great Britain and
Ireland. These countries the company
is able to reach through its own offices.
Cuba and the countries in South Amer
ica to which the services have hereto
fore been in effect are served yet.
"Though all cable routes are more or
less congested." said W. A. Robb. "we
are able with our eight transatlantic
cables to dispose of our traffic with
reasonable promptness, delays Incident
to censorship excepted. Beyond Lon
don the service is slow but fairly relia
ble excepting to Germany, Austria and
Hungary, and the situation doubtless
will continue to Improve, especially to
European and other countries which
can be reached by cable routes out of
London."

Seeking Haven of Refuge.
MABSH FIELD. Or.. Aug. 19. (Spe
cial.) The actions of a boat, supposed
to be a foreign steamship, is creating
much interest on Coos Bay today.
The vessel, which appeared to be of
about 2500 tons burden, approached the
bar last night about 6 o'clock and hov
ered about a mile outside for an hour
and then disappeared. Today at 3 p. m.
the stranger came in close to shore
about five miles north of Coos Bay and
seemed to have grounded. The weath
er Is hazy, but later reports are ex
pected. The craft is painted blue, with a
yellow smokestack, and no such ves
sels ply In these waters. There was
no flag displayed and no signals of
any sort were given. The impression
prevails here that the vessel la a for
eign merchantman seeking a harbor
of refuge. Those who saw the vessel
said there appeared to be many people
on board. The observers courd not say
whether she is a passenger steamer or
not.
The ship put out six small boats
between 4 and 5 o'clock, but no pas
sengers were landed. It is thought
passengers on board have demanded
they be put ashore, but the breakers
are too strong for landing on the
beach.
VALUATION MILLI0N LESS
Columbia's New Method of Assessing
Cuts Down Total.
ST. HELENS, Or., Aug. 19. (Special.)
The assesment roll of Columbia Coun
ty Is nearing completion. The valuation
of property will be almost $1,000,000
less than that of last year, due to
changes in the manner of assessing
personalty.
When the totals are taken the
amount of Columbia County's valuation
will be about $17,000,000.
CARGO TIDE TURNED
Freight for Inland Empire to
Be Transferred Here.
CANAL CHANGES ROUTING
Freight Bound for Interior to Be
Taken From Boats at Portland
AVharves and Sent by Fast
Train on to Spokane.
Portland's position as a distributing
point for the Inland Empire is to be
enhanced at once through the opening
of the Panama Canal, as steamship
lines operating from the Atlantic Coast
have decided to discharge all Spokane
cargo here when possible, and unless it
is specified that it be routed via Puget
Sound.
The reason is that quicker transpor
tation by rail lines is possible from
Portland and the steamship concerns
are desirous of delivering freight here
on their way north.
It is said by G. M. McDowell, agent
for the Grace fleet, that all cargo
brought from New York by that fleet
destined for Spokane and much of the
other inland territory Is to be unload
ed here. C. D. Kennedy, oi tne American-Hawaiian,
says that when the
company operated a transfer ship be
tween San Francisco and Portland,
only a proportion of the Spokane
freight moved through this city. Then
the steamers making Puget Sound sim
ply called at San Francisco en route
and consignees indicated a preference
for Puget Sound delivery in the same
vessel that carried it from New York,
because it saved handling at San Fran
ei'seo that naturally Increased break
age. Cargoes to Be Discharged Here.
Hereafter freight accepted by the
American Hawaiian on the East coast
will not be disturbed until discharged
at Portland. One more transfer cargo is
coming, that aboard the steamer Ne
vadan, which sailed from San Fran
cisco for Portland at 11 A. M. yester
day. She has about 2000 tons all told,
most of which is for consignees here.
On discharging that she loads ship
ments for New York and proceeds to
Puget Sound, returning from there to
San Francisco and sailing direct for
the Atlantic side via the Canal. The
cargo coming on the Nevadan was
brought around via the straits or Ma
gellan on the steamers Iowan and Lia
kotan. Colusa Aground at Beacon.
The Grace liner Colusa, of the West
Coast service, went aground at Beacon
No. 2, near Tongue Point, late Tuesday
night and failed to float at high tide
yesterday noon. The tug Vvallula was
tanding by at last reports and no re
quest was received from the ship for
more towboats to assist.
Hazy conditions on the river, arising
from forest fires, are said to have been
responsible for the vessel going on the
shoal. She is bound here to load lum
ber, flour and miscellaneous freight for
South An.erican ports and starts work
ing at Linnton. As the black hull of
the vessel was painted gray, the same
as liners on the Pacific Coast-rew
York schedule, it Is reported that the
Grace interests contemplate placing it
under the American flag, taking ad
vantage of the emergency shipping bill
passed by Congress.
STEAMSHIP
PASSES
CE.1SE
Big Fleets Eliminate Special Kates
and Others Stop Free List.
Decreased revenues, charged to a
slump in the movement of lumber
along the Coast and increased ex
penses in handling passengers, nave
prompted some of the steamship cor
porations to place a Dan on passes
and it is predicted that tne step win
mean the elimination of all free lists
the same as has been brought about
on railroads.
A few steamship corporations have
authorized half rates and similar con
cessions at times and among the inde
pendent lines passes have been issued,
but the former have discontinued spe
cial rates and several of the other
lines have instructed agents that the
Jays of passes have passed. One ves
sel that sailed from here recently had
about 15 traveling on passes while her
entire cabin accommodations only num
bered 40. The owners concluded it
was high time to call a halt, especially
as travel is such that no trouble Is
experienced disposing of all berths.

Admiralty Thinks Sea Safe for All
British Vessels on Pacific.
SEATTLE, Aug. 19. The Strath line,
with headquarters in Glasgow, has no

British admiralty considers it safe for
the steamships Strathbeg, Strathalbyn
and Strathesk to sail from Puget

CHANNEL WORK IS HUSTLED
Digging Machines Anchored in Co

Four dredges working under the
direction of the Port of Portland Com
mission, on the channel to the sea, are

material dally, reports Captain Hugh
T. Groves, superintendent of dredging.
Soundings made of the channel from
Portland to Walker's Island are said
to have shown the road to be in good
condition in spite of low water.
The Government dredge Multnomah,
which the port Is operating to the ex
tent of paying all expenses, is to fin

Slaughter's Monday evening, and will
be shifted to the upper end of the

Found to Be Rough Going.
Caught by the tide near Waldport

It was necessary to remove the wheels
when the tide went out, so the car

some of the experiences of Harry
Jaeckel, engineer of the I-irbor Pa

that ended last evening. The trip oc
cupied 14 days and the car traveled
close to 500 miles, of which 100 miles
was over mountain roads.

Stomachs
Kept
Doctor
Busy
"An old-fashioned doctor, a number of years ago, told us stomachs kept him busy.
And he argued that a more conscientious care of the stomach would practically put his
profession out of commission." National Pood Journal, June, 1914.
It was a new process of milling that had considerable to do with keeping this old
doctor on the jump. This process which made flour look white and pretty-unfortunately
removed nearly all of the really vital mineral elements of the wheat-the invaluable phos
phate of potash, etc.
This kind of milling has iioav become almost universal. Think what it means to deprive
the system of these elements which are necessary for its daily rebuilding?
Grape-Nuts
a delicious food
i
made of wheat and barley, contains all the nutriment of the grains, including their mineral
elements. Many forms of stomach trouble are due to a lack of these elements in daily food ;
and a regular ration of Grape-Nuts and cream along with other foods is admirable to set
one right.
