THE MORNING OKEGOMAX, THURSDAY, MAY
INSPEG
LETTER SENT WASHINGTON
rotcst Entered Against Selling
JLivcrpooi Market on Sclf
. Fixed Grades.
SALEM, Or., May 5. '(Special.)
That the Pacific Grain company and
other racific northwest dealers
should be- compelled to export their
wheat and kindred products subject
to inspection and grading under fed
eral and state supervision and should
not be allowed to sell on the Liverpool
market on Krades established by the
dealers themselves is the contention
voiced by Fred "Williams, member of
tho Oregon public service commission,
in a letter addressed to George Liv
ingston, chief of the United States de
partment of agriculture.
Mr. Williams' letter has to do with
an article which appeared in The Ore
conian on April 28, under Washing
ton date line, in which Julius H.
Barnes, United States wheat director,
was quoted as replying to inquiries
addressed to him by the farmers'
unions of Washington, Oregon and
Idaho. In the original inquiries '. J
Mr. Barnes it is understood that the
farmers and grain growers of the
three states protested that under
present conditions two sets of regula
tions governed the inspection and
grading of their product.
, Dealers Defend Position.
It was set out that when a grower
hipped his wheat from the interior it
was inspected upon arrival in Port
land, but that upon being exp rted the
dealers themselves fixed the grades
independent of any government regu
lation. The dealers, in defense of their
shipments without federal or state
inspection, allege that the Liverpool
market is without knowledge of fed
eral grading in the United States and
that the foreign dealers rely almost
eolely upon the samples which are
forwarded for their examination.
"If Mr. Barnes" reply, .is quoted in
The Oregonian, is authentic", said Mr.
Williams in his letter to the agricul
tural department head, "we want to
enter an immediate and vigo: is pro
.test and state our position without
equivocation and ambiguity before
the matter becomes hopelessly in
volved by reason of failure to under
stand the further procedure.
"We have two great ports in Ore
gon, including Astoria and Portland,
and thousands of bushels of wheat
are grown annually in territory trib
utary thereto which finds its way
naturally to these great grain cen
ters. Inspection Is Compulsory.
"At both cities this commission has
established ,and maintains splendidly
equipped Inspection departments avail
able to th-! shippers, purchasers and
exporters of grain. In fact, inspec
tion arrd weighing is compulsory un
der the provisions of the law 'r all
grain bought and used domestically
at these points.
''Without equal and general appli
cation of standards to all grades, in
cluding exports, the state and federal
inspection departments will lose their
usefulness - and consequently - the
confidence of the producers "because
of such discrimination and therefore
in the end become obsolete and value
less. "There are now several cargoes in
Portland and one being shipped t
Astoria for export which are being
held up awaiting the result of your
action against the Pacific Grain com
pany, and it is imperative that there
be an Imraedir'e and definite deter
mination." STILL FOUND IN HOUSE
Owner Admits Brewing Beer but
Denies Knowledge of Whisky.
George Clark of 4309 East Seventy
third street, was . arraigned before
United States Commissioner Drake
yesterday on a charge of having illicit
liquor in his possession and was bound
over to the federal grand jury. The
case is being handled for the gov
ernment by Deputy United States At
torney Charles Reames.
Federal prohibition officers say
they found a crude still in Clark's
home, together with 480 quarts of
moonshine whisky and 94 quarts of

have admitted brewing the Beer, but
denies all knowledge of the origin of
the whisky.
