We will carry out the object of the society as best we know how." That the sessions of the society, during the recent controversy, were of necessity closed to general at tendance and the press, and that all future meetings of the board will welcome visitors, was the declaration of Mr. Kraemer at the close of the meeting.

THE DALLES, Or., Oct. 23. (Spe cial.) The sugar shortage prevailing here is hourly growing worse. Several grocery stores have exhausted their supplies and date of further shipments is not known here. Many homes are almost without any sugar. It is declared certain that no additional supply will arrive here un til after the first of next month. Grocers are strictly following the custom of selling the small supplies periodically to regular customers only. Many persons have scoured the stores of The Dalles in a vain attempt to secure sugar from grocers other than those with whom they have been ac customed to trade. There Is but one grocer in the city who said he had any appreciable stock of sugar on the way here. About 40 sacks are coming. Even this amount is said to be sold. Lack of adequate transportation is assigned by local grocers as the cause for the sugar shortage. Strikes which have recently paralyzed steamship travel and to some extent rail trans portation are held largely responsible.
