the miller figures the total cost of his)
barrel of flour, which is now selling at
3.S0. at H.22. Of the 270 counds of
wheat "ground up for-this flour, how
ever, only 19S return as flour of varloua
grades, the other 7 pounds being made
Into by-products like feed. If the miller
can ret Hi cents a pound fpr this feed,
or 12 cents, he can thus reduce, the net
cost of his flour to approximately 13.30
a barrel.
Millers nay. however, that the margin
of protit in flour is so 'small that when
a differential of, 50 cents a ton must be
added for shipments by way of Puget
Sound, the cost becomes virtually pro
hibitive to them. As 10 barrels of flour
are' figured to the ton, this .would
amount to practically five cents a tar
rel. If they cannot grt steamship ner
vlce but of Portland, they must quit. .
Of the 94 flour mills named, 36 on the
Southern Pacific, and about 30 on the
O.-W. R. & N., have no other outlet to
the Orien.t but Portland. Even If they
ship to the Sound, they must do so
through this city.

SHIPPING BUSINESS
: OF 94 FLOUR MILLS
WOULD BE LOST
k Continued From Page One.)
''. engaged under charter to him at Port
land that, will take care of all his flour
' shipments out of this port for this year,
Though his own needs are provided for,
- ether- shippers have no such relief In
' tight The tonnage consigned to Mr.
Wilcox is, of course, privately char
tered, and no other shipper can secure
ipace out of It
' J rig-axea Astounding.
Bome Idea of the enormous business
these 94 mills represent can be gained
: by flsrrea fnrrrteted by prominent mill
ing men. They are likely te surprise
the lay reader, who has not realised
- -what an Irreparable -loss to Portland
-would result If this business must ba
shut down, or diverted In part to Puget
sound.
With a combined dally capacity of
JA77I barrels, allowing for shut downs
and slack periods, flour men say " an
-"Tostlmate of three fourths of this as a
dally average for the year, or 15.691
barrels, Is a fair one. As the flour mar
ket stands today, flour will bring about
S3.B0 a barrel, having recently dropped
xrom II. Even at the present low
prteathla represents an average busi
ness of $51,511 a day, all of which would
come. to a territory directly tributary
to Portland.
To Krtnd a barrel of flour, millers
estimate, requires bushels of wheat
For this wheat the millers now pay the
farmers, roughly speaking, 80 cents a
bushel, less the freight charges to Port-
land, .which vary from J to 12 cents.
The wheat In ope barrel of flour thus
' brings 1110 on an average, which, less
the freight charges, goes directly to the
farmer.
- toeal Industries Affected.
,In grinding every barrel of flour, the
cost of, labor and power Is put at 20
eentsr and the-aacko for the flour will
cost about 22 cents, according to the
millers' estimates. .The manufacture of
- . the sack and milling machinery are
both Portland Industries.
Addln to this a rough estimate, of
29 cents for depreciation and Incidentals
ANDREW Carnegie
says:
"The man who cannot
and does not save money,
cannot and will not do
anything else worth
while."
The failure of the rrtan
who does not save money
is due not only to the fact
that he has no money with
which to take advantage
of opportunities, but also
to the fact that such a
man is not able or fit tp
accept such opportunities.
He lacks the saving habit.

will not be discharged but will be lm
mediately assigned to companies of a
new "second battalion" that will be or
ganized to replace the ono mustered out,
Under the terms of their discharge the
troopers will be allowed to reonlist In
the National Guard, as no official stigma
attaches tho order mustering them out.
Four Companies, E, F, G and H, com
prise the battalion. The property of
company G of Dallas, Or., Is ordered

sorve. Second Lieutenant A. E. Cooper,

of company Fs property and Captains
George Shumaker and L. R. Kollock. of I and
said .Adjutant General FInker, aa many
of roy warmest friends wera affected by
It. However, it was In th Una or my
duty to obey the ruling of the' general
staff and for this reason it was done.
In a written statement Issued1 today
the general staff defends the stand It
took, and declares that there was no
other recourse than dlsbandment of tha-
battalion. The et&te'ment follows:
"Mustering the Second battalion of the
Third regiment out of eerylce has been
the most painful duty tha general staff
has ever undertaken. Wa had no other
recourse, If wa were to preserve the
guard of Orgon as an efficient, useful
body. Taxes are expended for military
training here, that we may devolop an
efficient, well disciplined force, ready to
cooperate with tho regular army and
guard of other states In national de
fense. All -our previous expenditures
have been wasted, if It is proven' that
our troops will not cooperate when
needed and are not amenable to neces
sary discipline. .
Ample rvldencs.
When the general staff ordered the
recond battalion mustered out, It acted (
deliberately and with ampia evidence De-
fore It of absolute disobedience of or
dare. Three members of the general
staff were present and had direct per
sonal knowledge of the offenses charged
to the Second battalion. In addition to
this evidence, the general staff had be
fore it tho statements of rnany other
officers, both In tha regular army and
national guard. ully conflrmlnf tha ra- I
ports of the members of tha general
staff, and to make the case conclusive,
from a military point of view, admis
sions were made to members of the
general staff by the five officers ar
rested for disobedience of orders, which
of themselves establish the offense tf
disobedience. Had there been any pos
eibl doubt of tho facts, and had there
not been an overwhelming preponder
ance of evidence against the battalion
an inquiry would have preceded tha or
der of dlsbandmient.
Ahla SC?n Affected.
'We considered fully all the' Mtenu-
stlng statements that have been mado
In defense by "the five officers. That
the order they and their men disobeyed
was not cruel and Inhuman, was proven
by the fact that two other battalions,
equipped Just the same and covering
Just tho same marching, distance, did
obey without a "murmur and without
cruel and 'Inhuman effects. Mutinous
conduct and deliberate disobedience Of
orders, are sufficient In tha minds of
the gunernl staff to warrant Immedi
ate dlsbandment.
"Men with excellent military records
are affected by the order of disband
ment. Some that are innocent of any
wrong motive will be Involved, but !n
the face of such general mutiny and
disobedience, nothing. less than disband'
ment seemed possible. The order of
dlsbandment will not affect those not
present and who did not participate In
the mutiny.
"The general staff Is named by the
froyernor as stewards of publlo funds,
administrators or pumie autica.
