PURCHASES FOR MILL USE Indications of Freer Selling: Move ment by Farmers in This Section. Many Matters Await Mr. Hoa ser's Return Gains Firm. There were iom mlsnm yesterday of freer elllnc of wheat by farmer, bat It may be several days before the rolnme of selllnx Increases materially. That the business will soon attain large size Is not doubted by (rain men here. The price question la fixed now for the remainder of the season, and there Is no reason why the farmers should hold back longer. Whatever limitations there may be to the movement are more likely to suise at the terminal markets than In the country. It la not plain to the local dealers Just what means will be employed in hand J Ins" the prospective heavy offering, but those matters are expected to be cleared up on the return of Grain Commissioner Houser from Washington later In the week. It Is probable that the Grain Corporation of the United States Food Administration will take care of all the Northwestern surplus wheat offered on the market In excess of millers current needs. In fact preparations to this end are now being made. Farmers will thus be able to get the money speedily for their crops, and the wheat will later be turned over to the mills as fast as they need It and ground into flour for export. There was a firmer feeling in the feed grains, but no trading in either local or Eastern cereals was reported at the ex change. Corn bids were 50 cents to S 1 higher. Weather conditions In the Middle- Western corn belt, as wired from Chicago: "Minne apolis, Winnipeg, clear; Chicago, cloudy, cool; Peoria, clear, cool; St. Joseph. Topeka, Hutchison, Omaha, Nebraska City, Daven port, clear; Iowa. Ohio, Kentucky, all clear." Terminal receipts In cars were reported by the Merchants Exchange as follows: Wheat .Barley r "lour uau ay f Winter Banana and the first picking of the f Jonathans. "The Jonathans, especially. have been coloring rapid. y of late, favored oy -the cool nighis and sunny days, follow ing the long heated term." says Foreman Oidenbarg. of the Lew Ls ton Orchards Asso ciation. Fan Wheat Gets Good Start. LEWISTOX. Idaho. Sept.. 24. Special.) The weather man for the 'Lewiston section predicts plenty of rain and snow for the Northwest during the next t-iree months, putting the soil In fine condition for next year's grain crop. While the rain which has been falling since Saturday threatens to damage the bean crop to some extent, the Fall-sown wheat is being given a start that will aaaure a splendid yield for next year. Union Prune Harvest This Week. TJNION. Or., Sept. 24. (Special.) Work Is being rushed forward to put the Tony D. Smith warehouse In condition for the pack ing of the prune crop of this vicinity.

National Shawmut Bank Boston Boston We summarize from a letter of Mr. King C. Gillette, President, the following partic ulars regarding the present company, the assets of which are to be taken over by the company above named. The Gillette Safety Razor Company U one of the most prosperous industrials in the United States. The efficiency of its plant has been highly commended by experts; its product has been standardized, and the Gillette Safety Razor is known throughout the world. The main office of the company is in Boston, Mass, and it has offices and agencies in Montreal, London, Paris, Milan, Lisbon, Barcelona, Copenhagen, Stock holm, Petrograd, Tokio, Shanghai, Melbourne, Havana, Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro and Valparaiso. The company has an annual output of approximately 750,000 razors - and 7,500,000 dozen blades. New interests have recently become identified with the company and will be repre sented on the Board of Directors by J. E. Aldred, of Aldred & Co., New Tork; Philip Stockton, President of the Old Colony Trust Co, Boston; R. C. Morse, of Jackson & Curtis, Boston; H. J. Fuller, Vice-President of Fairbanks, Morse & Co, New Tork, and Bradley W. Palmer, of Storey, Thomdike, Palmer & Dodge, Boston. The present company and its predecessor have conducted the business for the past thirteen years. The present management, under which net earnings have increased from . $498,000 in 1906 to $3,192,000 in 1916, is to be retained, and a broader policy for the expansion of the company's business is contemplated. Net earnings for the year ending December 31, 1916, were $3,192,646, or over $14 per share on the total capital stock of the new company, to be presently issued, after deducting interest. For the eight months ending August 31st of the current year, the net earnings (without allowances for taxes) were at the rate of over $4,500,000 per annum. The company's earnings normally are heaviest in the last four months of the calendar year. Sales of razors have increased from 403,887 in 1912 to 781,632 in 1916, and of blades from 2,459,330 dozen in 1912, to 6,369,425 dozen in 1916. The credit rating of the present company is the very highest. It has never bor rowed money and has always had abundant working capital to properly develop its , business. It has carried one of the largest bank balances in New England. It is the intention that dividends will be inaugurated at the rate of $7 per share per annum, the , dividend dates being quarterly, March, June, September and December. A very large proportion of the issue having been placed privately, we offer, sub ject to prior sale, the remaining shares, when, as, and if issued, and subject to the approval of all legalities by our counsel, at $80 flat per share.

There is a necessity for developing semi-arid tracts of farm land by placing water on them. Such projects are essential to the growth of the state, and their financing Is a legitimate enterprise. - Recognizing the prejudice against Irrigation bonds because of mismanaged private enterprises of the past, several states have stepped In and placed Irrigation Issues on the same foot as other municipal Issues, the creation of municipal districts which are essentially the same as school districts, or improve ment districts. A law authorizing the organization of such districts and providing for state supervision and regulation of their bonds was passed by the last session of the Oregon Legislature. Financing may be undertaken on a basis of 50 per cent of the present values of land In a district. The investor should note that these state-supervised projects are not based on future values. Bonds thus Issued are a combination farm mortgage and municipal bond, are exempt from State and Federal taxation and constitute a prime and conservative Investment. Of such character are the six per cent serial gold bonds of THE OCHOCO IRRIGATION DISTRICT (a municipal district). Crook County, Oregon. Each bond bears the certificate of Ben W.
