Board of Trade Head Thinks
Forcing of Dardanelles Is
a Only Remedy.
WORLD'S PRODUCTION CUT
Federal Officials Deny Rumors
Pending Investigation Into Re
cent Rise of Flour and '
Wheat In Chicago Mart.
of
CHICAGO. Aug. 12 (Special.)
Based on unofficial reports that a Fed
eral investigation of flour and wheat
prices is imminent, J. P. Griffin, presi
dent of the Chicago Board of Trade to
day issued a statement analyzing: the
situation and telling: why prices have
advanced.
United States Attorney Charles F.
Clyne. his assistant, Joseph B. Fleming,
and Hinton C Clabauph, head of the
local Federal bureau of investigation.
Department of Justice, all emphatical
ly denied during- the day that there
is, or as far as their knowledge is con
cerned, to be, any such investigation.
Production Not Sut t lclent.
The statement by Mr." Griffin is as
follows:
"Various reasons have been ad
vanced by different authorities for
the prevailing high prices for wheat
the world over. In my Judgment there
Is but one explanation insufficient
production of wheat the world over
to meet the consumptive requirements.
"The crop in the United States for
the present year as "indicated by . the
Government reports 'last Tuesday is
664.000,000 bushels, a reduction of 358.
000.000 bushels from the 1915 crop.
"The European crops are the poorest
In a generation. Therefore we have
a' situation where the production of
surplus producing nations is subnormal.
The- crops of consuming nations are
likewise poor, intensifying the demands
-upon those countries raising a surplus
age of wheat above their requirements.
Tio Hope of Reduction Seen.
"It might be worthy of mention in
passing that the English controlled
market at Winnipeg closed at $1.46 58
for December wheat today against a
close of 11.47 in the Chicago market.
"A carefull analysis of the figures
here given will reveal the cause for
prevailing high prices of wheat and
likewise it may safely be assumed that
the situation does not hold any hope
for materially lower prices unless the
Dardanelles can be forced, thus throw
ing open to the consumptive nations of
the world the three years surplus of
Russian- wheat.
SACK PRICES RISE 15 CENTS
Baker County Wheat Growers See
Extra Profit Slipping.
BAKER. Or.. Aug. 12. (Special.)
With wheat mounting higher and grain
sack prices keeping apace. Baker
County wheat growers are puzzled as
how to handle their bumper crops, now
Just ready to harvest. Sacks have ad
vanced to 15 cents a piece here, so
that growers believe that much of the
advanced price of the grain will be
eliminated in the net profit.
Every effort is being made to avoid
using sacks, although wheat shipped to
Europe must be cared far in that way
and some buyers are offering sacks
at reduced prices if the wheat is sold
to them. Where the grain is to be
delivered in this country it will be
handled loose and loaded direct into
cars for shipment.
The local Farmers' Union has re
vived the movement for local grain
elevators, but it is too late to do any
thing this year.
GARFIELD GRAIX SALES HEAVY
Approximately Half ot Sew Crop
Taken Around Dollar Mark.
FOJIEROY. Wash.. Aug. 12. (Spe
cial.) It is estimated that one-third
to one-half of the new grain in Gar
field County has been sold since the
price reached $1.. The largest sale re
ported was that of 40,000 bushels by
H. F. Clodlum to Fred Matthies. rep
resenting W. H. Houser, of Portland.
D. E. Smith and J. W. Stallcup sold
25.000 bushels each.
Although the farmers throughout the
county reported a light stand of grain
this Spring, some record yields are
being harvested. R. B. Melton harvest
ed 9000 sacks of wheat, which aver
aged 14 sacks to the acre. C. E. Clus
ter got 48 sacks, William Baden got
SI sacks of Winter barley, and Evan
Howell got 21 sacks.
WHEAT QCIET AT PENDLETOX
Sales of 75,000 to 100,000 Bushels

PENDLETON', Or., Aug. 12. (Spe
cial.) The local wheat market was
quiet today, only 75,000 to 100,000
bushels being sold.
The price at which most of the grain
was contracted today was between
$1.03 and $1.04, although $1.05 was of
fered this morning for club. T. J.

14, 1916, we are satisfied that the
charges are sustained in that you were
negligent in not using a tube at every
cast of the lead when on soundings and
comparing the nature of the bottom
with that shown on the chart to verify
your position. Had you done so, you
would have been able to check the error
of the third officer, who was in charge
of the sounding machine.
lou were unskillful In not hauling
your ship-off shore at 8:44 P. M. when
you got bottom with 84 fathoms of wire
out and having 36 fathoms of water, At
which time you should have had 300
fathoms of water had your course and
distance been made good from Fox
Rock. Had you plotted the position of
the ship on the chart you should have
known that the ship had been set in
shore and how much. Had you taken
these precautions the steamer Bear
would not have stranded."
Third Officer Ture Olund. who re
sides in Portland, was suspended for
one year as he was on watch at the
time, and in their official letter to
him the inspectors reviewed the case
as follows:
"From your own testimony the ship
was on soundings from 8:31 P. M-, when
you had 130 fathoms of wire out and
got bottom as you did at various inter
vals thereafter, until at 9:13 P. M.,
when you got bottom at 80 fathoms;
and from then on casts were taken at
9:32. 9:45, 9:55 and 10:05, with 200 fath
oms of wire out and no bottom, until
at 10:15 P. M., when the last cast was
taken, when you had 200 fathoms of
wire out and reported no. bottom: and
before you had the lead hove in the ship
grounded. Had you paid more atten
tion to the sounding and looked at the
arming at every cast you could have
discovered your error; as it is impos
sible from the position in which the
ship now lays to let out 200 fathoms
of wire without getting bottom."

HOOD RIVER, Or., Aug. 12. (Spe
cial.) "With a total attendance of 500
at the different meetings, the pleasure
and business portion of the programme
of the first annual Hood River County
Pomona Grange encampment was
brought to a successful close tonight.
Since ' last Tuesday night the mem'
bers of the five granges of the county,
most of them temporarily domiciled in
a city of tents in a magnificent fir
grove about 50 yards from Parkdale
station and the large Mclsaac Hall, par
ticipated in sports, dances, and musical
and dramatic entertainments and have
listened, to addresses.
"It has been the best camp meet
ing that I have ever attended," said
Dr. Hector Macpherson, of the Oregon
Agricultural College, who addressed the
grangers yesterday.
President W. J. Kerr, of Oregon Agri
cultural College, who motored up from
Portland with his family yesterday
hover the Columbia River Highway,
talked to the vacationists today.
Speakers and members of the granges
at their encampment expressed a strong
opposition at the proposed bill, provid'
ing for the limited manufacture of beer
in Oregon. A resolution also opposed
the measure advocated, by C. C. Chap
man, of Portland, to Increase the license
on motor cars to raise a fund for road
building. Most of the grange members
rode to the encampment In their auto
mobiles.
The grangers adopted a. resolution
indorsing Representative N. J. Sinnott
in his efforts to secure for Oregon
reclamation work 40 per cent of the
Oregon grant land funds.
The upper valley encampment will
close tomorrow with an address by Rev.
Billy Sunday, who, according to an
nouncements, will attack the proposed
beer manufacture amendment.
Motorman Seen Waving Arms ill
Frantic Appeal When Passing:
Station and Power Is Shut
Off, bat Too Late.
JOHNSTOWN. Pa.. Aug. 12. Twenty-
five persons were killed and 63 in
Jured in a headon collision between
two crowded trolley cars on the line of
the Southern Cambria Traction Com
pany, between the Echo and Brookvale,
seven miles from here today. Fourteen
persons were instantly killed, while
the others died after being removed
from the wreckage. Several more are
in a critical condition and will prob
abl7 die.
The cause of the accident has not
been determined. Coroner Fitzgerald
at once started an investigation. The
company in a statement tonight said it
was absolutely without data on which
to base a. report on how the accident
occurred.
As soon as word of the wreck was
received here a score of physicians and
nurses were rushed in automobiles to
the scene, followed shortly afterward
by motor trucks hastily filled up as
ambulances and several pieces of motor
fire apparatus. Because of lack of
doctors many of the lniured were com.
pelled to wait nearly two hours for
medical treatment. The victims were
loaded into automobiles and street cars
and taken to South Fork and Johns
town.
According to persons in the vicinity
at the time of the wreck one car was
standing still near the carbarn at Echo
when the other car in charge of Motor-
man Agus Varner crashed down a
steep grade and into it. Both cars
were demolished. Shortly Derore tne
accident Varner's car was seen to rush
past the station at Brookdale with
Varner frantically waving his arms.
Believing the ear, which, according to
employes of the company was going
at the rate of 30 miles an hour, was not
under control, the current was shut
off at the power plant, but this action
was taken too late to avoid the crash.

Game Warden Shoemaker to Con

Orders of State Commission.
MARS H FIELD, Or., Aug. 12. (Spe
cial.) The State Fish and Game Com
mission, which yesterday heard the
complaint of R. L. Macleay, who was
assaulted on Rogue River by Claud
Barton, declared that a dead line would
be established on the Lower Rogue,
near the entrance, to allow the free
flow of fish to the upper river and
to aid in eliminating' the constant
trouble arising between the Macleay
interests and fishermen who are op
erating for the Seaborg concern.
Governor V ithycombe, chairman o
the Commission, said he believed the
dead line would be a successful method
of preventing further trouble and inti
mated that fishing beyond the line to
wards the sea would be prohibited
State Game Warden Carl D. Shoemaker
was instructed to visit Gold Beach and
Wedderburn and will arrive there nex
Thursday. The hearing will be on Fri
day and Mr. Shoemaker will establish
the line. It was believed today that
the distance from the bar would be set
at about 1500 feet.

He hopes It will not be necessary.
but as a last resort desires personally
to urge upon the parties to the con
troversy the disastrous effect upon
themselves and upon the country which
would follow tying up of 22S railroads
by a strike.
Although the President was told
arly in the day that the situation was
ritical, word came tonight that pros
pects for an agreement were more fav
orable and that further ""conferences
would be held in New Tork tomorrow.
Mr. Wilson remained in hie office at
the White House throughout the day
to keep in close touch with the situ
ation.
While evidently- worried over the sit
uation, the President has not given up
hope that a settlement may be reached.
He has taken no stand on the merits
of the arguments presented by either
side, out Is understood to be confident
that the common ground can be found
on which the employers and employes
can meet.
In the course of the day the Presi
dent received petitions from represen
tatives of unorganised railroad em
ployes urging that Congress pass legis
lation which would prevent the rail
roads being paralyzed by a strike of
the members of the brotherhoods who.
it Is contended,- represent only 20 per
cent of the employes. The first peti
tion contained 6000 names and it was
said that other large petitions would

BLACKLIST TO BE TESTED
Authority of Sheriff Is Questioned
by Liquor Permit Applicant.
HOQUIAM. Wash.. Aug. 12. (Spe
cial.) The authority of the Sheriff to
put a person on the blacklist and pre
vent him from taking out a permit for
liquor is to be tested In the courts of
this county. An application for a writ
of mandate has been filed in the Su
perior Court at Montesano, by Attorney
Dan Pearcall, of Aberdeen, for Ed. Bur
nett to force the Auditor to issue a
permit.
According to the petition filed by the
attorney, the Sheriff has put Burnett
on the blacklist, and it is understood
the reason for the action was that the
man had been arrested on a charge of
having more than two quarts of whisky
in his possession. The attorney con
tends this is not sufficient grounds
for blacklisting.

management of these lines will result
in a material reduction in the expen
