a retail ealoonman cannot sell flvo gal

was being violated and he Immediately
levied tinea upon the proprietors of the
places which in many-cases were severe.

Only those manufacturing Industries
that are strong financially will bo ablo

Those that cannot carry their bualneas

with no relief In sight.

must go elsewhere . to ' secure goods.
Others are shipping In small lots, pay

Throughout western Oregon farmers
are holding their potatoes, hay - and -grain,
paying interest on loans they s- -cured
to carry them until they oould
market their crops, and waiting to get
cars that were ordered weeks ago. Alt
farm products are perishable, and tho "
