OTHER GRAINS SOARING
Oats and Barley Share in Advance
on Strong Demand- for Export
and Bidding for Flour to Go
Abroad Is Strong Also.
Portland ia the " highest primary
wheat market in the world. Prices
have been climbing: steadily in the past
week and are now far beyond any pre
vious level. At the Merchants' Bx
change yesterday, Jl.22 was offered
for bluestem for prompt delivery, but
sellers wanted $1.25. May bluestem
was held to be worth about $1-30. Prices
bid were 1 to 2 cents higher through
out the list than on the preceding day.
exporters declare this market has
gone too high to permit of new busi
ness being done with traders in Europe,
yet a good portion of the buying is be
ing done by the exporters. Specula
tors are more or less in evidence as
they have been since the market began
going up.
For several days- there haxe been
European inquiries on the market for
Northwestern oats, and it is believed
that a considerable quantity of this
cereal has been sold. Oats buyers have
been active in 'the market and "as. a
consequence prices are strongly on the
upgrade. Spot oats sold on the Ex
change at $29.50 a ton, an advance of
50 cents, $30 was paid for January
oats and $33.50 was offered for May
delivery. ,
Barley, which has been more or less
neglected throughout the season, has
also started to climb. February de
livery of barley brought $27.50, a rise
of 75 cents over Friday's price.
Throughout the entire grain list the
tendency was strongly upward. The
demand was keen,, but holders were ex
ceedingly bullish and only about $50,000
worth of wheat, oats and barley
changed hands during the noon session.
Europe is not only calling for cereals,
but there is also a demand here for
flour for shipment to the warring na
tions and it is said that several large
blocks have been disposed of in the
past few dsfys.

Judge Imposes Penalty for Cruelty to
Animals and In Addition Four of
I'lock Dies From Exposure.
"The wind should be tempered to
the shorn lamb."
It will probably will cost Leonard
Williard. a Troutdale sheepman, $100
to ascertain the writer of this para
phrase. Besides that, he has lost four
sheep from exposure, and others are
said to be on the sick list.
On complaint of Humane Officers
Lewis and Pitts, Williard was brought
into District Judge Jones' court yes
terday morning, charged with cruelty
to animals. W. H. Densmore and S. A.
Crowener, two of Wllliard's employes,
also were arrested on the same charge.
The humane officers averred that
Williard had sheared 500 sheep in mid
winter, leaving them in a well
ventilated shed at -the mercy of the
cold December blasts. Four had died
from exposure, it was testified, and
many others were In bad condition.
Some of the sheep, it was said, had
bled profusely from wounds caused by
the shearing machine.
"It is not unusual to shear cheep
in the Winter," said Williard on the
stand. "Usually it makes 'em fat.
They put on flesh to take the place
of the wool."
Densmore and Crowener were dis
missed by Judge Jones, who said they
were only acting under Willlard's or
ders. "Any man wh,o would shear his
sheep during this cold weather would
pluck the feathers from a chicken and
expect it to live outdoors in the Win
tor. I'm going- to Impose the maximum
fine of $100," said Judge Jones.
Williard gave notice of appeal.

DETECTIVES ARE NAMED
Archie Leonard and L Rot B. Ca
hill Appointed to Fill Vacancies.
Carrying 'out plans, announced sev
era! days ago. Mayor Albee yesterday
appointed Archie Leonard and LeRoy
B. Cahill to the detective service to fill
two vacancies caused by the transfer
of two plain clothes men back to the
patrol service. The appointments will
take effect January 1.
Archie Leonard is one of the best
known detectives in the Northwest.
For several years he served as Chief
Deputy Sheriff under Sheriff Stevens.
Until recently he was engaged in de
tective work for railroad companies.
He was reinstated in the police serv
ice but he refused to take a position
because to do so would have forced
another man. out.
np CCORDING to James J. Hill chair
i man of the board of the Great
Northern . Railroad, whose views
on "The Outlook for Business" were
set out before the Rochester Chamber
of Commerce on December 6, a respite
from hostile legislation is the first and
indispensable requirement for the re
turn of prosperity. Declaring that the
business interests of the country as a
whole have been under fire for more
than ten years; that the -attack has
steadily Increased In violence and de
creased in discrimination, Mr. Hill
averred that "If the next five years
are to repeat the history of the last
ten, then there can be no great im
provement and no general prosperity
in the United States.' In part his re
marks on the subject were as follows:
"Coming down to the radical and
permanent, as distinguished from the
partial and temporary causes of the
bad times that everybody deplores, one
stands out pre-eminent by the volume
of Its effects and the persistence with
which it has raged all over the coun
try, though with special legislative cru
sade against business. I speak here of
no particular act, for the business in
terests of the country as a whole have
been under fire for more than ten years.
That attack has increased steadily in
violence and decreased In discrimina
tion. The ingenuity of restless minds
has taxed itself to invent new restric
tions, new regulations, new punish
ments for guilty and innocent alike.
2V ew Law Come Past.
"While. existing laws were allowed to
fall into "more or less complete disuse,
new laws were heaped on one another.
Each of these invaded some new terri
tory, laid the hand of authority on
some new occupation, drew closer the
circle of business interference to a
bureaucracy. Innovation scarcely
stopped short of declaring any marked
business success prima facie evidence,
of crime. The country Is feeling the
inevitable effect.
"When hostile regulation goes to this
extent, without promise of a limit to
either its objects or its orders, business
would come to a halt though tariff rates
were raised to the skies and peace pre
vailed -all over the earth. It cuts down
present activity, and it also puts a veto
on all expansion and extension. The
present may be obscure, but the future
looks black. For here industry begins
to realize the indispensable need of
capital, and to feel the effects that
follow Its withdrawal.
"Years ago, the share of the laborer
in production may have been under
valued or ignored. Now it Is the fashion
to overlook or deny the part of capital
And both mistakes are costly. For new
plants will not be built, raw material
will not be bought, wages cannot be
paid unless capital is ready ' in suffi
cient quantities to perform the func
tions that are possible to It alone. It
will only do this On two conditions.
both imperative. Capital desires and
expects to earn at least a reasonable
profit, or else it hides and refuses to
work. There Is no reason why it should
take the risks, present in even the
most conservative employment, unless
there is .a possibility of commensurate
profit. That possibility, too, must have
a promise of continuance sufficient to
make it worth while to go into the
enterprise at all.
Two Things Indispensable.
'Now, it is these two indispensables,
the fair return and a reasonable lease
of . life, that continuous legislation
against business has destroyed or
threatens to destroy. Politicians have
acted upon the theory that It is good
to burn down .your house because a
chimney smokes. Fire has been started
In many places. It remains to be seen
whether the good sense of the people is
not ready to call a halt.
If capital is not available In quanti
ties or on terms that the work of the
country requires, business can Only go
from bad to worse until a new eco
nomic equilibrium is established .by the
force of disaster Itself.
'The condition of the railroads of
the country at this time is typical.
They have been compelled to appeal
again and again for relief from regula
tion that is crushing the life out of
them.
Our progress toward a centralized
paternalism Is so marked and has gone
so far that the middle-of-the-road So
cialist has little reason to complain
that his Darty has not already secured
a majority. Under laws passed at the
last session of Congress, most corpo
rate business In the United States is
under direct Federal control. Every
year sees the transaction of business
made more expensive by laws prescrib
ing multiplied and costly reports, com.
pelling the engagement of additional
employes and the raising of the com
pensation of the old.
This is the history of paternalism.
of centralization, since ever the words
or the things were known to the world.
That governing method always has
been the-most wasteful of all, no mat
ter whether it hid itself under the
title of monarchy, aristocracy or democ
racy. Under the tribute it attempts to
levy, business in the United States
eventually would become unable to
conform to the onerous conditions of
the new era.
"It would be an alleviation or some
compensation if this governing system
were efficient. But It Is as incompe
tent as it is expensive. This Is not the
fault of any man or any party. It
inheres in the method itself and in the
persistent American delusion that
democracy can afford to overlook, in
its selection and continual change of
governing instruments, the matter of
fitness. Nowhere else outside of the
strictly barbarous countries is the idea
that public place should presuppose
some direct business qualification for
It so contemptuously rejected.
"Industries which represent billions
of capital, capital belonging largely to
people of moderate means who have to
live on its income, are under the orders
of officials chosen for political reasons,
many of whom could not earn on their
merits a salary large enough to keep
them alive in the service of concerns
which are now at their mercy. It is
not malevolence, it is not corruption,
that Btrlkes at the heart of business so
dominated; It is the ignorance of well
meaning men who have been placed,
for political considerations, where they
do not belong, where they can do no
good and may be able to do Immense
harm. And this is true throughout
much of our. public service.
"It is a master stroke of irony that
while business all over this country,
from the largest to the smallest con
cerns, has been spending time, effort
and money In an endeavor to realize
efficiency, and to incorporate the ap
proved methods of efficient manage
ment with its own, the governments
to which it must render an account
and whose orders it must obey remain
the most striking examples of ineffi
ciency to be found anywhere in the
world.
"The main outlines of the present
business situation are clear. This
country may enter. If It will, certainly
after the close of the European war
and probably much sooner, upon
period of remarkable prosperity. To it
will be given the task of providing for
the maintenance of a considerable por
tion of the world's population and in
dustry. .
Reasonable Freedom Necessity.
"This great and continued . demand
on ua should be. the guarantee of a
corresponding prosperity. It would be
so It so artificial conditions Intervened.
But, to realize this, both capital and
ki n,eSS inltlative must have reason
able freedom. The enormous destructon
or wealth, the continuous raising of
Interest rat. all foretell new and
difficult conditions for American en
terprise. It is less free to take ad
vantage of them than ever before. It
must operate within the circumscrip
tion assigned to It by laws which the
courts will probably take 20 years to
interpret. At every promising, open
ing it sees a signboard,, erected by
public authority, bearinc the words.
No thoroughfare.' If 'the next five
years are to repeat the history of the
last ten, then there can be no great
business improvement and no general
prosperity in the United States.
"These words are not spoken In a
spirit of 'hopelessness. The American
people has an enormous fund of under
lying common sense. It Is fundamen
tally conservative, though it loves to
follow the circus parade once in a
while, listen to the music and applaud
the clown. And It does have construc
tive ability, no matter how sorry may
appear some of its efforts in this direc
tion. Since its own well-being is now
definitely at stake, it is not unreason
able to hope and expect that it will
take the few and- simple steps neces
sary to the realization of its hopes.
"The first and indispensable require
ment Is a respite from attack of at
least a few years for the business in
terests of the country. So great are
its recuperative powers that probably
one or two years of complete freedom
from foreboding as well as from as
sault would accomplish great things for
all industry.-
Sneclaluwtlon Period Hrre.
"Subordinate for a moment the. ex
tension of the sphere of the governing
power to an improvement of Its qual
ity. Ruling powers that do not give
the people at least an efficient con
duct of public affairs should change
their methods. It is time for all the
people to remember and keep on re
membering that no man has a right to
hold public place, from the top to the
bottom, unless he has knowledge of
that particular line of work.
"Hand in hand with a government of
self-restraint and efficiency will go
economical government. The expert is
always the cheapest employe. Men
throw millions about because they
think it comes easily from a tax on
the income of the rich and hurts no
body. No dollar is ever taken need
lessly by taxation without every man
in the community suffering in his de
gree. "Rest from agitation, intelligent
economy, efficiency, harmonious co-operation
for business institutions as well
as for political divisions, these are hoti
abstruse ideas. They do not provoke
eloquence or attract the self-seeking.
They are things as long familiar and
as little reverenced by the mass of
men as the contents of the Decalogue.
We must go back to 'them or suffer
the penalty paid by every creative
thing that defies the law of the physi
cal or that of the moral order of the
world." - '
RAILROADS TO CLAMP LID
Eastern Lines Won't Carry War Re
lief Snpplies Free After This Week.
After January 1 it will be impossible
to ship supplies for the relief of
European war sufferers over American
railroads free of charge.
The Eastern lines will withdraw this
privilege this week and it is expected
that the Western lines will follow with
similar action at the end of the year.
When persons in America began col
lecting supplies to send to the war
stricken people the railroads offered
their services free. Hundreds of car
loads were shipped. It Is reported that
the service really became burdensome
to the carriers, but they complained not
until a suspicion of fraud began to
creep into the operations. It is said
that certain unscrupulous Individuals
on the "charity committees' took ad
vantage of the railroads' generous offer
to- ship goods for nothing to include
some of their private shipments with
the others. i

TRESTLE TRAFFIC TO HALT
Vancouver Way Will Be Closed' to
- Heavy Loads Until Repaired.
The Vancouver trestle will be closed
to heavy traffic until much-needed re
pairs suggested by County Surveyor
Holbrook can be made, under an order
made by the Board of County Com
missioners yesterday.
Mr. Holbrook, reporting on the
bridge at the request of Roadmaster J.
B. Teon, declared that 4000 fee,t of
the trestle, beginning at a point near
Oregon Slough, is badly decayed and
worn. He recommended that it be re
paired immediately, and that all ve
hicles weighing more than six tons be
excluded from the lower deck of the
bridge until the repairs are com
pleted. The six-ton limit, he states,
would keep auto trucks off the bridge,
because most of them weigh five tons
without a load.
The Board adopted Mr. Holbrook's
recommendations in every particular.
