WOOL IS PILING UP
Supplies of New Northwestern
Clip Accumulate.
DEALERS MARKING TIME
Terms and Prices for Allotment to
Spinners and Weavers (or Cse on
Federal Contract Announced
by Boston Distributor.
Tha wool trade of Portland Is waiting for
word from Washington as to the final de
tails of the Government's plans, and pending
such news the dealers can do nothing but
mark time. It was thought that by this date
Wool Administrator C. J. Nichols would
have appointed a. wool valuation commit
tee for this city, as It is the announced In
tention of the authorities to get the new
dip moving as soon as possible.
At other points allotment officials have
already been named, and wool Is being dis
tributed to the mills; but here the new clip
Is piling up steadily, and with the old wool
till on hand, some difficulty may be ex
perienced In moving It quickly w hen the
order cornea Wool men here would like to
' see a start made, as wool shearing Is go
ing to be a long drawn-out affair, because
ef the backwardness of the season and the
labor shortage, and much stock Is likely to
be on hand when the time comes to move ,
ins grain crop.
Terms and prices for the allotment of
raw wool to topmakers. spinners and weav
ers for use on Government contracts have
been announced by Ernest W. Brig ham, of
Boston, wool distributor. Application must
be made to him for any lot of wool sought
and the material is billed net 60 days. Prices
on SSs quality and lower are July 30 prices,
plus 7 per cent; on wools grading finer than
58s flat July 80 prices.
The Government's statement as to terms
and conditions Is as follows:
"The Issue prices of wool for Government
contracts are based on the valuation com
mittee's description and estimate of shrink
age of each lot. The Government does not
guarantee the estimated shrinkages of the
valuation committees, but believes them to
be approximately correct. Samples of each
lot will be shown at the office of the wool
distributer and are intended to fairly repre
sent the bulk lot, but are not guaranteed to
do so. They are exhibited for the conve-
nience of manufacturers interested. Exam
ination in bulk may be made if desired."
In addition to this statement, there is pre
pared a full schedule of prices on a scoured
basis of a wide range of descriptions
ef foreign and domestic A few of these
follow;

INTEREST IN MOHAIR IS LACKING.
No Government Fe for Product In Near
Future.
The announcement that the Government
will not 'make use of mohair has caused
local dealers to lose Interest In this article
for the time being, but some use will un
doubtedly be found for the product, though
It Is not likely to sell at as high a price
as the growers would wish. Forty-five cents
Is still the local quotation, but It Is entirely
a nominal one. The market at Boston Is
also quiet, according to the Commercial
Bulletin, which says:
"Business in mohair locally has been of
very modest proportions this week. Spring
hair Is coming forward to a moderate ex
tent on consignment but no sales appear to
have been eifectel as yet for forward de
livery
"The mohair spinners are devoting con
elder able of their machinery to the spinning
f Government wool ,yarns and so are there
fore unable to use that same machinery
for spinal ig mohair yarns and, consequent-

MILLS WILL CLOSE
No Extension of Grind Will Be?:
Allowed.
EXCESS ALREADY MILLED
Northwestern Plants Save Ground
110 Per Cent and Must Provide
Wheat for Middle Western
Concerns That Are Short.
Floor mills In this sons are notified that
they will be granted no extension of grind
and when they have used up their wheat
allotment they must close down. Several
of the larger plants have already ceased op
erations and others are about ready to quit.
Considerable wheat remains in the North
west and it was hoped by millers that the
Administration would permit them to in
crease their milling. Some time ago they
were allowed a 10 per cent extension, and
the milling division evidently thinks this
110 per cent allotment Is sufficient, par
ticularly as mills in the Middle West were
allowed only 90 per cent, and many could
not get enough wheat for even that grind.
The surplus that Is left In this section of
the country wilt, therefore, be shipped East
te mills that need it, and any carryover
that the Northwestern mills have on hand
will also . go.
Bulletins Issued yesterday by J. W.
Gsnong, divisional chairman of the Food
Administration, milling division, follow:
"Mills are now advised that they cannot
be allowed an additional grind over and
above their present allotment, and will not
be permitted to hold wheat on hand June 80
for next season's grind. 0
"Please be advised that all shipments of
flour routed to the Pacific Coast are to
be mark sd with a large letter 'F In red.
This car. be done by stenciling the letter
on the sack, or hav.ng same printed on
your new sacks by the bag company.
"This Is to advise that our bulletin No.
84 is withdrawn, and mills are permitted
to resume shipment into zone 9 without per
mission from the secretary of the sone com
m It tee. but must strictly observe the 70
per cent restriction clause, and also the
30-day supply rule, otherwise flour will
be subject to seizure.

Favorable weather for the completion of

RECLAMATION IS URGED
REPRESENTATIVE SINNOTT ASKS
FOR 7,0OO,0O0.
r
Instead of Financing; Lectures aad
Eradicating; Ticks, Irrlgratlosi Proj
ects Should Be. Ballt.
QREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Trash
ington. May 23. Instead of appropriat
ing $6,000,000 to finance lectures on ed
ucatlonal and demonstration methods
of Improving; agriculture and spending:
over a million more on tick eradication.
Representative Slnnott today 'urged the
Hquse of Representatives to devote this
17,000.000 to the building of Irrigation
projects, through which means crop
production can be certainly and enor
mously increased.
The country today, he said, needs
more crops and wants to be sure of
getting them. He showed that last
year a million acres of land on Govern
ment irrigation projects produced $50.-
000,000 worth of food crops, or 130 per
acre more than the general average for
the entire country.
The amount the House proposes to
spend on lectures, if spent In reclaim
lng arid lands would result In increas
ing the Wneat crop 3,000,000 to 5,000.000
bushels a year, or one-twentieth the
amount we exported during the past
year to the allies.
Mr. Slnnott cited projects In Oresron
alone on which this money could prof
itably be expended at this tlms and
some of which crops could ba raised in
abundance next season if work started
immediately. He appealed for the Sut-
tle Lake project in Jefferson County
and the Warm Springs project, the two
together being capable of. producing
more than a million bushels of wheat
by next year.-
The Owyhee, completed, could pro
duce a million and a half bushels, and
the north unit project in Jefferson
County, embracing 100,000 acres, could
be made, within two years, to produce
3,000,000 to 6,000,000 of wheat or its
equivalent.
All these projects, he said, could be
built and completed with the money
which the House proposes to s. end on
educational and demonstration lectures,
and for tick-eradication.
' Speaking generally, Mr. Einnott urged
a liberal appropriation for expanding
reclamation, work. There are 17,000.000
acres in the West, he said, which can
be reclaimed, and If reclaimed during
the war, (his empire, or a part of It.
can be made ready to . receive the-eol-dlers
when they return from the battle
fields. On this theory alone he argued
Congress would be Justified in appro
priating liberally for new Irrigation
work.
