PROPAGANDA IS SCENTED
ftr filial of The Orcjronlan to Prlnl
JuMiHcation of (kTmany's Con
duct In War Commended.
. Th Oregon utate organization of the
American lea-ion yesterday started a
. movement to urj.e newspapers through-
out the country not to publish a aerie
of articles on the world war by General
Ludendorff. who w&s in command of
the German armies at th time of
their defeat.
iow V. Walker, secretary of the
Oregon state, organization yesterday
sent telearams to this effect to the
national headquarters of the American
lea-ton. Senators MrNary and Chamber
lain, Representatives McArthur and to
th state organizations or asnintrton.
California. Idaho. Montana and Utah.
In the message Secretary Walker urges
that all Influence be brought to hear
to have the newspapers which have
contracted for the L-udendorff articles
cancel their contracts.
Props canda Sc4. .
"Th Ludendorff story can only be a
fust i filiation of Germany's course of
conduct in entering and continuing the
war. said Caasiua R- Peck, president of
Portland Post No. 1. Oregon branch of
the American lea-ion. h- two
parties are in conflict one ia right and
the other ia wrong. It la inconceivable
that it would be proper in any sense to
spend good American gold In purchas
ing from Ludendorff a brief in justifi
cation of our enemy and in condemn
tlon of ourselves. When cold history is
written, based upon facts, and not upon
the partisan theories of our enemy, the
same should be published; but in tnis
period of reconstruction and unrest,
before the formal signing of the treaty
of peace, we should not provide the
red-flag. un-American Interests with
propaganda to support those Prussian
theories and ideals which we gave of
our blood and treasure to conquer.
Tae Orearealaa) Ia Conajratolated.
"The Oregonian is to be congratu
lated upon its action in refusing to pub
lish the Ludendorff story, and I hope
that all other newspapers of the Untted-I
States will be likewise patriotically in
clined to aid in the suppression of the
German propaganda.'
A large attendance is forecast at
the regular monthly meeting of Port
land Post No. 1. scheduled for Tuesday
night, commencing at 8 o'clock at the
armory. Tenth and Couch streets.
Sandwiched in between the regular
routine business will be 30 minutes of
high class entertainment.
The most important thing will be the
election of delegates for the state con
vention, to be held in Portland Septem
ber 17 and 18, and at which Lieutenant
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, one of the
organisers of the American legion, will
be in attendance. Edward C. 8am

flirled at a meeting of the members of
his committee yesterday at which time
details of the gathering were decided
upon. . ,

COURT-MARTIAL IS ENDED
Transcript of Fort Stevens Case
Sent to Vuhington.
ASTORIA. Or.. Aug. 27. (Special.)
The court-martial of Sergeant Frank
L Rockwell for shooting Private Elmer
Backlund haa been completed at Fort
Stevens. The verdict has been for
warded to the judge advocate-general
in Washington and will not be made
public for some time.
Hacklund was shot and killed on the
ntsrht of July 31. when, in company
with Frank Kibble, he attempted to
break into the medicine locker in the
post hospital to secure some alcohol. O.
Backlund of Seattle, father of the boy
who was killd. attended the court
martial. Backlund was 18 years old
and Kibble was IT. Both had re-enlisted
In the regular army after re
ceiving honorable discharges.
No improvement In the hide situation can
be seen from any quarter. The market la
practically at a standstill and prices are
almost wholly nominal. There Is no indl
cation as to when -conditions will better
themselves. Local aealers estimate that
values of hides are off fully IS to 20 cents
a pound from the top and calf and kip skins
from lO o IS cents.
The following is an extract from the Chi
cago Dally Hide Bulletin, under date of
August-S3: -t -' -. ' "
"Country hides The weak and very un
settled oondltlou makes an unquotable mar
ket Th. aiiI. nhua of the aituatioo which
seems to be well defined Is thai lower rates
are Inevitable, with the continuation of pres
ent conditions. There has been no trading;
to Indicate where Drices really are. but
holders of hides who are desirous of liqul
dating their stock, rather than waiting, have
accepted much lower prices ia some locali
ties, and the market Is broken wide open.
Tanners continue disinterested and .those
who buy only want a carload now and then,
and pripes shrink on each preceding, sale.
This Is shown by sales' of all weights from
northwestern points of single carload lots.
These sales Indicate the temper of holders,
and this spirit seems to be extending north.
south, east and west. It is generally con
ceded that when trading does start up
values will be considerably, lower than a
few weeks ago.
"Calf and kip Market easy and unsettled.
No recent sales of packer or Chicago city
calf, as buyers are not. interested. Outside
city and countries not considered quotable
at above 70 cents. Countries, 60 to 65 cents.
Kip skins are weak. Outside cities and
countries nominally around 55 cents. Coun
tries somewhere around 50 cents. Dry hides
weak and declining. Horse hides very weak
and still lower prices expected on next move
ment. "Dealers are not making any open offer
ings, while buyers generally are holding off
and talking much lower In line with the
general easier tendency in all hide and skin
markets.". . - .

The Price Current says:
"Some improvement la reported InUhe con
dition of corn in most sections of the sur
plus states as a result of lower temperatures
and rainfall. Threshing returns la J. he wheat
country show no improvement and the actuai
crop of milling grain Is likely to show under

poses."

Summarizing weather and crop condition
in Oregon during tha past week, the weathsr
bureau says:
"The temperature was generally abova
normal. There was some fog along tha coast,
but elsewhere th air was drv. No rain
of consequence fell in any section. Over
most of the state vegetation is very 'tittfl
Streams, wells and springs continue to fall.
The present drought is. the most prolonged
on record. Forest fires are numerous and
hard to control, and in many places tha air
is heavy with smoke. Tha, continued "dry
weather has been favorable for farm work,
except that the beginning of plowing has
been delayed.
"Wheat, oata. rye and barley are mature
except In a few of the most elevated locals
lties. The greater part of the acreage -has
been harvested, an unusual percentage having
been cut for hay. Thrashing is progressing
rapidly. Irrigated corn continues to make
good growth, out unirrigated corn is mostly
suffering from drought. "
'Prunes are ripening rapidly. Peaches and
pears are plentiful. Harvest of evergreen
blackberries continues. Much of the unjrri-
gated fruit is of small size. ' -'
'The third cutting of alfalfa is In progress
in some of the warmer districts, the yiaid
being good where there has been sufficient
water for irrigation. In a number of pi sees
alfalfa Is suffering for lack of sufficient
water. Pasturage continues to detertoEatej
though thre is still good feed on torn?., of
the mountain ranges. Ovr conaideruale
areas stock is beginning to show the efrt
or snort reea. The scarcity or stock water
is increasing. Some stock is being taken" tiff
the range owing to danger from forest Mr
"Potatoes are maturing rapidly. Irrigated
potatoes promise good yields, but ths yield
in unirngated districts win ne consiaeraoiy
lessened by drought and high temperature.
Unirrigated gardens are drying up. Hop
picking will begin next week, the yield
being somewhat below normal, owing, to
drought."

A fair supply of hogs was received yes

hog market was somewhat weaker. Cattle
were steady and unchanged. Sheep and
lambs were active and firm. ' The best East
ern Oregon lambs were quoted 25 cents
higher at $13.23 and yearling wethers Were
listed up to $&. v
Receipts were 46 cattle. 9 calves, 606
hogs and 1434 sheep. The day's sales were
