The newly-created Federal farm loan board will hold a hearing: in the Fed eral building in Portland on Wednes day, September 7. Advice of the selection of this date was received here yesterday. Portland Is preparing to ' make an adequate presentation of its claims for designa tion as one or the 12 farm loan centers to be established under provisions of the new law.

The committee in charge of the work for Portland consists of C. E. Spence, master of the State Grange; J. D. Brown, president of the Farmers' Union, and Hector MacPherson, of the Oregon Agricultural College. The com mittee has the active Bupport and co operation of the Chamber of Commerce, the .

This hearing is to obtain informa tion to guide the board in determining the boundaries of the 12 Federal land bank districts into which the United States is to be divided, for the applica tion of the new rural credits legisla tion. The members of the Federal farm loan board who will conduct the hear ing are: William G. McAdoo, Secre tary of the Treasury; George W. Norris, Farm Loan Commissioner; Herbert Quick, Captain W. S. A. Smith and C. E. Lobdell. The board has requested farmers and farm organizations of Oregon to furnish facts concering the need of cheaper farm loans and it has asked interested cities to present claims for the loca tion of one of these ' banks. This will be the only hearing in Oregon Low Interest Provided. The new Federal farm loan act will do for the farmer what the Federal reserve act is doing for the business man. Under it the Government provides the machinery for assembling capital to be lent to farm owners or intended farm owners, on first mortgage farm security. The loans cannot exceed 50 per cent of the value of the land, nor 20 per cent of the value of the per manent improvements. The loans will be made at a low rate of interest, not yet determined, but not more than. 6 per (cent and provision is made for the borrower to pay off the loan and in terest in small annual or semi-annual payments through a period of 40 years gr at his option. Farmers, to take advantage of the law, must associate themselves in groups of ten or more and form Farm Loan Associations and then make application to one of the .12 Federal land banks. The land will then be appraised and, if it -meets require ments, the loans will be made. , Banks to Be Ready January 1. The new legislation is expected to prove a great boon to those sections of the country where development has been arrested because of high interest rates and it is predicted that it will have the effect of making agricul tural prosperity permanent and uni form; stabilizing land values and great ly improving general farm conditions. Thousands of requests to the Treasury Department for information regarding the application of the law indicate the great. Nation-wide Interest in its provisions. Secretary McAdoo predicts that the banks will be ready for operation Jan uary 1 or shortly thereafter. COUNTY GETS WAR PROFIT Old Machinery, ' Valueless in Peace Times, Brings $801.8 6.

Now things are different. There were between 150 and 200 tons of old Iron bid upon by the dealers, it was estimated. There were five bid ders. The junk consisted mostly of worn-out and rusted road apparatus. scrapers and graders. ROCKS HURLED IN FIGHT Two Are Arrested on Complaint of Alleged Victim.

MILLS CAN'T FILL ORDERS News Print Is Not Expected to Be Arfected, but Paper Bags Are to Cost More Conditions Are Most Unsettled. A paper famine, with prices boosted to famine figures this Fall, is predicted by the paper houses of Portland, which have been receiving information on the conditions within the past few days from Eastern houses, which seem to prophesy with a great deal of cer tainty. "There are indications of a rise In prices on paper of from 10 to SO per cent on top of the rise of from 100 to 150 per cent that has already been experienced since war conditions began to upset the paper market," said K. K. Kubli. of the Kubli-MUler Company, yesterday. "The market is in more feverish con dition now than it was last Spring, according to advices that we have re ceived, and indications are that the mills ar going to have a hard time to fill orders. It looks like a 'sure enough' famine, all right." The local paper mills say that these conditions will not affect them, as the bulk of their output is contracted at a fixed price for five years. There ap pears to be no direct Indication of a rise in the price of news print, the up ward flight being confined to other qualities of paper product. "We have had to withdraw all prices on most of our papers," said "W. D. Mc Waters, of the Pacific Paper Company, "subject to further information from the mills, and may be up in the air on them until next week. There is certain to be another rise of from 10 to 15 per cent in paper on top of the great rises that have already taken place. "The manufacturers of paper bags ' have published a new price list, in which they have raised prices about 60 per cent, although they are allowing bigger discounts. The net result of it, however, will be a rise of at least 15 per cent in paper-bag prices." COMPETITIVE TESTS SET Examinations for Federal Positions to Be Held Here September 20.
