STATE COMMISSION
MARKET ADVOCATED
Plan for Collective Buying and
Distribution of Crops
Held Practical.
GROWERS KEPT INFORMED
Oregon Grange Men Believe If Cali
fornia Scheme Is Adopted, Big
Benefits Would Accrue Both, to
Growers and Consumers.
A plan favored by the Oregon State
Grange whereby staple crops could be
marketed by farmers is being dis
cussed. With the possible intention of
submitting a bill to the next Legisla
ture for the creation of a state com
mission market.
The proposed organization would
carry on a business similar to that
transacted in California by the recent
ly created commission market, which,
according to the enactment of the Leg
islature in June. 1915. is that of "re
ceiving from producers the agricultu
ral, fishery, dairy and farm products of
the State of California and selling and
disposing of such products on commis
sion." Collective buying, according to mem
bers of the Orange, would be one of
the advantages of the new scheme, for.
if carried out after the California pat
tern, the available supply of all staple
commodities would be exactly known
In the office of the state commission
market director.
Nominal Commission Charged.
Any desired, shipment of Oregon
products could be made through the
office and a moderate commission
charged. Information on crop and
market conditions is gathered and dis
seminated by a bureau of correspond
ence maintained by the market. Book
lets are issued from time to time to
inform the producers of the supply and
demand and at what markets their
products can be handled best.
The expenses of the market In Cali
fornia are borne by the commissions
laid by the director upon market
transactions. A fund of $25,000 was
appropriated for the establishing of
the market and the commissions were
expected gradually to build up a re
volving fund in a sum equal to the
original appropriation.
California Act Explained.
The machinery of the market is de
scribed by the California act as follows
"The state commission market shall
receive and care for all produce con
signed and delivered to It under the
provisions of this act and shall sell
and distribute to dealers, consumers
and all buyers such products to the
best possible advantage of the pro
ducer; and, to the end that the state
commission market may be self-sup
porting, shall charge a commission for
the handling of all products In an
amount which, in the Judgment of the
director, is Just 'and reasonable. All
settlements with producers shall be
made once a month or oftener and the
market shall retain the commission
charged.
The proposed market for Oregon, ac
cording to the Grange men, while not
putting any obstruction in the way of
the present commission markets, prob
ably would absorb a large amount of
commission business.
Stable Markets Are Result.
The effect of complete reports on
11 market conditions would be to
liquefy distribution, it is pointed out, so
that prices will manifest greater sta
bility, and where the Oregon products
must compete with the products of
other states Eastern and foreign buy
ers would be aided in finding the sup
plies of the commodities they desire.
State distribution of agricultural
produce is not expected to create com
petition between the 'markets of the
various states. Instead, the markets
of the different states would co-oper
ate in filling bier orders nnH sunnlvini?
whatever deficiencies may exist in a
particular locality. Thus, if Califor
nia ran short of a large shipment of po
tatoes, the Oregon director could or
ganize a shipment to the point where
the greatest deficiency existed from
the point where the greatest surplus is
found. The result would be a greater
equilibrium in the supply of produce
and a consequent equilibrium of prices,
say the Grange men. The avoidance of
cross freights would stop a great eco
nomic waste to the ultimate advantage
of both producer and consumer.

LIMIT IS SET
GAME WARDEN FIXES DEADLINE
ON ROGUE RIVER.
Obstacles That Keep Salmon Away
From Spanning Grounds Will Be
Removed by Order.
What he considers the most Impor
tant thing the State Fish and Game
Commission has asked him to do since
he became State Game Warden has
just been accomplished by Carl D.
Shoemaker. Mr. Shoemaker has Just
returned from Gold Beach, at the mouth
of the Kogue River, and has settled a
dispute that has bothered both sports
men and commercial fishermen for
years.
He established a deadline 1700 feet
up the Rogue River from Its mouth,
below which no commercial fishing will
be allowed. This will cut out the best
seining grounds operated by the Wed
derburn Trading Company and two
set net locations of the same concern.
"The river where the deadline was
established," said Mr. Shoemaker yes
terday, "is three-quarters of a mile
wide. It narrows to but 200 feet at
the mouth. Heretofore commercial
fishermen had been seining: clear to
the mouth and using other means of
getting the salmon that should be al
lowed to enter the river and go up
stream to spawn.
"The salmon and steelheads have
been scared away, and as they must
spawn in fresh water, they have sought
all the little coast streams in the vi
cinity of the Rogue River. The spawn
has been lost, for the streams are too
small. The sportsmen cannot get to
those small streams, so fishing at the
mouth of the Rogue was working hard
ships on both the fish and the sports
men." PRISONERS tiAVE MONEY
PER CAPITA WEALTH IS GREATER
THAN LAST TEAR.
City Jail Statistics Indicate Sab
merged Tenth Is Smaller as Well
as More Prosperous.
The submerged tenth In Portland
has more money this year than it had
last year. Also the submerged tenth
isn't so large. Why this is so may be
open to argument, but there is no dis
puting the figures. Last year. In July,
1915, the average amount of money
taken from prisoners arrested by the
police was $3.19. In July, 1916, the
average wealth of each city prisoner
was $8.53.
In July of 1915 the police searched
and found money or property upon the
persons of 1026 prisoners. These figures
do not take into account the many
who were possessed of nothing save
the clothes that covered them. They
concern merely those offenders who
may be classed as individuals of sub.
stance.
The average amount of money found
on the hapless 1026 was $3.19. More
than 50 per cent of them, or 676, were
stone broke." One carried a Bible
his sole possession.
In July of the present year the to.
lice, in their daily exploration of rai
ment, found property or money upon
the persons of 348 prisoners. The
number of arrests had been mate
rially reduced. Of these. 98 were
"broke." or a trifle more than 33 per
cent. But the average cash possession
of the prisoners of property was $8.53.

DARING RIDING NECESSARY
Charges Are Made Down Into Deep
Canyons, Through Heavy Brush
and Over Narrow Trails, in
Preparation for Patrol.
BY WILL G. MAC RAE.
CAMP BALBOA. San Diego, CaL, Aug.
23r (Special.) There was a most
marked Improvement in the drill to
day, everybody is keyed up in antici
pation of "going away."
Captain White, when he reached the
drill ground, informed the troopers
that, beginning with today, in add!
tion to the regular drill, they would
be drilled in the tactics that would be
necessary for a troop of cavalry on
border patrol duty.
Along that section of the Mexican
border which Troop A will patrol there
is no end of brush and timber, the
country is also mountainous, with
many deep canyons and narrow trails.
The formation of the ground here at
Camp Balboa is like that into which
the troop is going, only the border
hills are higher, the brush thicker and
the trails harder to ride over. Captain
White took advantage of these condi
tions and the drill this morning was
all devoted to extended order brush
work and in-fighting, both mounted
and dismounted.
Mimic War Is Fongbt,
Practically all of the mimic war was
fought in the brush and deep canyons
or on the hillsides. It was interesting
and thrilling to watch. The entire
troop was out playing the game of
tracking the enemy through a rugged
and hostile country. In order to exe
cute these tactics daring horseman
ship was necessary.
One of the most notable, things de
veloped was that even the troopers
who were new to the riding game dis
played just as much daring and horse
manship as the experienced riders. It
was hot work and the only thing lack
ing was the presence of the real
enemy.
Even the green horses seemed to
enter the spirit, but they were
mighty tired when they were ridden
back to the picket line. When the
troop first went into action, especially
when it came to dashing madly through
the brush when the limbs of the brush
snapped back around their legs like
the sting of a whiplash, the horses
snorted and plunged like mad after
going up one side of a steep canyon
ana aown the otner siae.
The mounts soon settled down and. in
spite of the rough country, the line
held very good.
Men Is Varied.
Just to show how Troop A is "starv'
ing" on the garrison rations on which
it is existing, here is a bill of fare
chosen from one 25 days old. It com'
pares almost to the item of the one
that was served today. Because of the
kindness of Troop A Auxiliary, the
assorted cake was added today to the
following menu:
Breakfast Rolled oats, beefsteak.
cottage fried potatoes, bread and butter.
Dinner Corned beef and cabbage.
steamed potatoes, apple pie, bread and
butter, iced tea.
Supper Beef, Spanish; potatoe cake.
assorted cake, bread and butter.
This was another big day at Imperial
Beach. It was the formal dedication

While the fishing season came In slow
and continued so during a great portion
of the time. It is going out with a
rush and with good catches, especially
In the lower harbor.
Yesterday afternoon a Bpurt of fish
came and they were of much better
quality than those of the previous
week, while there was only a small
sprinkling of tules. The result was
that the trollers, glllnetters, seiners
and trappers all did well last night
and today below Fort Columbia, while
the catch so far up as Tongue Point
showed quite an Improvement.-
One seine at Sand Island is reported
to have caught 30 tons yesterday, while
another made a haul of 17 tons.

EXTRADITION COST HIGH
EXPKXSB XO COUKTY IS HEAVY
IX FORD CASE.
Couple Charged With Forgery Are Most
Expensive Prisoners Ever to
Be Returned Here.
The extradition of Homer N. Ford
and Elizabeth G. Frary from Winnipeg,
Canada, was the most expensive pro
ceeding of the kind in the history of
Multnomah County, the total bill being
$1252.37. even after extensive diplo
matic Intercourse and the downright
refusal of District Attorney Evans to
pay some of the exorbitant charges of
English counsel at Winnipeg.
The State Auditing Department at
Salem has written Mr. Evans for a
statement of the facts in the case, that
would make such a large outlay ad
visable. The fight against extradition,
which necessitated the appeal of the
case from a lower Canadian court to
the Court of Appeals, was one of the
reasons for the expense of the pro
ceedings. Xn the letter from the State Auditing
Department, It Is recounted that rec
ords ehow that in May 1907, there was
extradition of a man from England
for a crime committed in Oregon, and
that the total expense of this pro
ceeding was only 837.49.
The charges of the "State's Agent" in
Canada for legal services, are noto
riously large, it has been found In other
extradition matters.
The two extradited from Winnipeg
are charged with forgery by Mrs. Caro
line Ford, whom Ford repudiates as
his wife. The trial will be held early
1n September before Circuit Judge
Davis.
