COUNTRY HIDES AFFECTED Government Announces Through Regional Director at San Fran cisco Iowerlng of Prices About 10 Per Cent on All Grades. Th Government haa announced, through the regional hide director at San Francisco, the lowering of price on all grades of paeker hides. Tnese new prices will be ef fective August 1. and will apply to all hides taken off after August 1 and up to and in cluding October 31. says a statement issued hy George M. Sullivan, general manager of the H. F. Norton Company. The state ment continues: "The reduction In price on the better grades of packer hides amounts to about 8c per pound, on the branded selections from 2 to 8c per pound, and on the extreme light hides lc per pound. The average re duction on all packer hides will amount to about 10 per cent. It has also been an nounced that country hides were put on a selected basis all over the United States. They have been bought flat in this section prior to this time. "A number of rules have been laid down which must be adhered to by butchers In taking off. their hides and salting them. It will be unlawful to salt hides it vats in the future. Prices which were laid down for the months of May, June and July will still be In effect for the hides taken off during that period. In .view of the fact, however, that the August, September and October hides are the beat hides of the year. It Is doubtful if any tanner would care to The demand for alpaca continues very steadily and prices hold very firm, both for fleeces and inferiors." SHEEP SALES HEAVY 1712 Cars for All Points.

The monthly report of the Bureau of pay more for May. June and July take-off Markets shows storage holdings of case eggs than for later hides. Unless there are not enough hides to go around, it Is quite likely that all May, June and July hides will have to be sold on a basis of August, September and October values. "The object of the Government In puttfns hides on a selected basis Is to Improve the take-off. During the past number of years the hides from this section of the country have been sold flat, and the take-off in most cases has been very poor. "Definite prices and rules for the purchase ef hides from August 1 on will probably be announced in the very near future; just as soon as they can be put in printed form and mailed here from the East. It is also announced that all hide dealers will prob ably have to be licensed to do business. "The price for calf skins after August 1 will be higher. This is the only article which has been raised, and the new price only applies to the skins taken oft after August 1. All butchers should keep their August skins separate from those taken off prior to that time." BREWING BARLEY A DOLLAR HIGHER Local Market Responds to Poor Crop Out look In Northwest.

No Change Here. The mohair market here is quiet and buyers are still offering the old price, bu at Boston the situation has Improved and a firmer market prevails, according to the Commercial Bulletin, which says: "The demand for mohair in the local mar ket haa been very good and prices are showing an upward tendency for the staple. The mills have been fair buyers but deal era have been taking some of the staple in a speculative way, believing that with the situation In which wool is today, there Is a better opportunity ts do business with the mohair spinners, although a number of them have considerable machinery on low- count wool yams.

CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma, July 25. If a man can't fro without sleep $6 hours in an emergency he can't be a member of the military police. The "M. P must be patrolling; his post in a sol dierly manner every minute. There's a severe penalty attached to failure of duty In the military police. But it isn't fear of the consequence that keeps an "M. P." wide awake on his beat- He likes his Job and takes a keen pride in knowing; that his work It well and efficiently done. He ts constantly striving; to make good. To qualify for the military police man must be more than a soldier. He must be able to ride all aorta of horses and ride them well, to hop upon a motorcycle and run down a speed fiend- He must understand detective work and be able to do squads "east and west" like a veteran douehboy. He must be competent to take the wheel of the patrol on a "riot call" and dash through traffic like Barney Old fieid. Ho must be able to handle crowds, to discharge the duties of po lice officer in a largo municipality and must understand military police duty as well. And above other things an "M. p." must bo ready to handle any kind of a complex situation that con fronts him. Many a man in uniform has been "set straight" through the efforts of the military police by other means than prosecution. The organization was formed just as much for the purpose of atdlna; and assisting the soldier in doing right as to watch and apprehend them when they do wrong. In fact, an "M. P." should, at all times., be consid ered a "big brother" by men In the ranks. Bank Deposits Increase. SALEM, Or., July a S. - (Special.)
