SATURDAY OCTOBER 20, 1917. HOARDING TO BE BARRED Oregon Food Administrator Ayer in Receipt of Xotice From Herbert Hoover to Notify Big Deal ers of Xew Regulations. All dealers who do a business of 9100.000 or more annually in food stuffs will be required to take out a license prior to November 1, and any infraction of the food conservation regulations thereafter will be punish able by a revocation of the license to do business. W. B. Ayer, Federal food administra tor for Orepon, received instructions yesterday from Herbert Hoover, Fed eral food administrator, at once to notify all dealers in foodstuffs of the new regulations which are to carry out the proclamation of President "Wilson of October 8. Applications for license must be made to License Division, Food Administra tion, Law Department, "Washington, I. C, but preliminary Instructions will be issued through W, ii. Ayer's office. Prices to lie Established. This move Is looked upon as the most drastic actual step to regulate retail prices taken by the food administra tive forces since the war began. It is announced simultaneously with Mr. Hoover's proposal that the wholesale prices of foodstuffs in 700 leading cities will be published so that the public may judge which dealers are "profit eers' in food. A significant statement Issued by the Pood Administrator's office last night reads in part: "It is not the purpose of the Food Administration to disturb the normal activities of business, but there must be no hoarding of foods: there must be no manipulation or speculation in foods, and there must be no unfair or tinreasonable profits. It must be un derstood that these operations have been illegal since Auprust 10, when the law was passed, and the licensing sys tem is to provide effective machinery for the enforcement of the law. "Authority to suspend licenses and impose penalties: Is vested in. the food administration, but the great object of the administration Is to protect the (Treat majority of - patriotic producers "and distributors, as well as the public, against the operations of those few who unpatriotically seek to exploit the necessaries of life." 'n Grocer Give Indorsement. Dealers whose business annually Is too small to come under the license re quirements will be controlled by public opinion, directed through the food ad ministrator's state offices with the aid of published wholesale price lists. Grocers' representatives have in dorsed the action according to the tele- . gram from Mr. Hoover. The license requirement carries a number of exceptions, but all food deal ers who think they are liable to the "license regulation should get in touch with the food administraton's office be ; fore November 1.

Ed Hamlin, a rancher living in the Tiller section of this county, about 40 miles from Roseburg, where the for est fires have been raging for the past few weeks, bound a forest "firebug" early this week. Mr. Hamlin was out hunting for der and accidentally ran across a man who was Just In the act of setting out a fire in the timbered dis trict and who claimed that he was go ing to do some backfiring in. order to check a big fire that was burning a mile or two away. His actions were suspicious and the fact that his ef forts to stop the fire by starting en at the particular place where he was found was known to Mr. Hamlin to be utterly useless, so the latter ordered the "firebug" to accompany him out of the timber, where he would be taken before the proper authorities. This the fellow refused to do although Mr. Hamlin used his gun in an effort to persuade the man that he was In earn est. Finally, unable to make any headway with his roan. Hamlin grabbed brm, threw a rope around his body, tied his hands and feet and bound him to a tree, while he went to get the as sistance of a number of forest fire fighters who were In the vicinity. While absent less than an hour, when Mr. Hamlin and his party returned the man was missing, the rope with which he had been tied having been literally stripped with a sharp knife. It is thought that the fellow had a pal close at hand and when Hamlin left he released his friend and the two escaped.
