CHICAGO, Hay 5. A general re
duction in the price of cotton, woolen
and silk goods within the next few
weeTts was predicted today following
announcement of a local silk dealer
that he had sold 3,000.000 yards of
bolt silk at reductions ranging from
f0 cents to $j! a yard under the
prevailing prices.
The sales included all lines of
manufactured silks.
One State street merchant said that
the backward spring and tightening
of money would force stores and man
ufacturers, in many cases overstocked,
to slash prices to liquidate.
He predicted that a drop in the
textile lines would be followed by
reduction in food prices, as all mar
kets run somewhat together.

Potatoes Take Lead in Increases
During Seven Years.
WASHINGTON. May 5. The family
food budget in February was exactly
twice the sum expended for the same
articles of food in February, 1913, ac
cording to department of labor sta
tistics. During approximately the same
period t.n Great Britain the increase
was 130 per cent while in Italy it
was 187 per cent. Germany outranked
all countries enumerated with an in
crease of 224 per cent.
Increases In prices oi doming in
Germany, the statistics showed, ex
ceeded 1000 per cent. A man's suit,
which before the war cost 120, now
sells for 238.
During the year ending last Feb
ruary in this country sugar increased
in price" 76 per cent. Potatoes went
over the top to the tune of a 275 per
cent increase since February, 1913.
The shortage of freight cars is an
important factor in the high cost of
foodstuffs, the house interstate com
merce committee was told today by
representatives of the middle west
grain dealers and farmers' association.
They asked that $300,000,000 additional
be advanced to the railroads by con
gress so as to relieve the situation.
Vast quantities of wheat and other
grain are being kept off the market
because of a lack of cars to move it,
the witness said:
G. F. Ewe of the Minneapolis cham
ber of commerce declared the trans
portation act provided funds for build
ing less than 100,000 box cars, or
about one-third as many as needed.
"Conditions will be worse next
year." he said, "unless the situation
is relieved. At the Kansas City eleva
tors alone 11,000,000 bushels of wheat
are upheld. It would require 70 days
to move this with a complete diversion
of all the equipment available. It is
estimated that $147,000,000 is tied up
in the Kansas City territory because
of the shortage."

Head of Several Large Projects in
Two States Is Optimistic
Over Prospect.
OREGON AN NEWS BUREAU,
Washmgton, May 5. In a telegram
to Representative Sinnott . today
Hugh L. Cooper, feead of several large
northwest water power projects, pre
dicted immediate development of
water power in the west on a large
scale under the bill which will soon
become a law.
Mr. Cooper's largest project Is on
the Pend d'Oreille river in' eastern
Washington, but he also Is identified
with a project in western Washing
ton and at least one in Oregon. He is
optimistic regarding power develop
ment under the new law and declares
that the future of water power does
not now as heretofore depend alone
upon the marketing of power. Cer
tain hydro-electrical chemical dis
coveries made during the war, he as
serts, have increased greatly he uses
of water power.
This last statement was made by
Mr. Cooper on a recent visit tp Wash
ington, when a member of the select
water power committee of congress
remarked that of course there could
be no object in developing at this
time The Dalles project on the Colum
bia river, which is capable 'of more
than 800.000 horsepower.
"That is where you are mistaken,"
he answered. "There will be an out
let for all of it and within, a "sur
prisingly short time."
tative
west-
water
power committee and who was chosen
by Chairman Esch to answer any
questions on the floor of the house
yesterday during the debate on the
conference report, Mr. Cooper said:
"Your support of this measure will
be rewarded by great benefit to the
west and I shall do everything that
I can to forward construction of
water power projects in your terri
tory."

Two delegations, one headed by Na

other by D. J. Williams, collector of
internal revenue, will fight for the
Pierce county representation at the
state democratic convention to beheld
in Spokane May 17. Incidentally, a
rift in the solid phalanx of federal of

delegates named by the Titlow con
vention held two days after the na
tional committeeman and his follow
ers had been ousted by the Williams
contingent.
John M. Byle, Lnited States mar
shal, is in the Titlow lineup.
Williams and Titlow broke several
months ago when an investigation
was being conducted by the depart
ment of Justice into the administra
tion of the internal revenue office in
this district. Williams was called on
the carpet back in Washington. Tit
low was there at the same time and
Williams' supporters charged in party
circles that the latter was trying to
embarrass Williams, who was trying
to explain away charges of moral de
linquency among members of his staff.
It was likewise hinted that enforce
ment of the dry law might have been
touched upon in the Washington con
ference. Williams was mentioned as
a successor of Daniel Roper as col
lector of internal revenue, but when
the appointment was made it went tq
a Georgia man. However, the ad
ministration issued a long statement
absolving Williams from blame.
