Waste Paper Zs Valuable. The Ore
gon Merchants Magazine is after the
state, to save all their wast paper be
cause of the acute shortage of stock
and the handsome profits resulting
flom its sale. The weekly issue of the
magazine says: "Gather up that waste
paper. Save those cardboard packing
cases, the wrapping paper, and all
other clean books and papers. Then
buy up all tho clean magazines and
newspapers. For the latter you can
get u cenia ine nunurea ui your siuie.
Pay what you like pay In goods sell
for cash. That way you make two
profits. The price you pay is your
own affair. "We suggest 20 cents the
hundred. If you don't like long profits
pay 25 cents. But anyway, gather up
the waste paper. It beats selling su
gar." Another Steel Record. Practically

records have been established for
United States Steel common shares on
the New York stock exchange. Yes
terday the common shares moved up
to 95 3.-8 shortly after the opening,
this being a fractional gain over the
.previous high point. Not only is the
steel Industry prosperous but there
Sre rumors current that some sort of
m mnlnn will La rnt within the imme
diate future.
. Fish Offal Going to Waste. Every
season many tons of fish waste is
dumped by lower Columbia river can
series and no steps have been taken
to utilise this as a by-product. A report
of United States Vice Consul Wood
ward at Vancouver, B. C, deals with
this problem. -It says:
"Mr. Jamea White, vice chairman of
the Dominion Conservation commis
sion. Is at present in Hrltish Columbia
securing data in connection with the
proposed utilization of fish offal.
While at the present time a portion' of
this waste fish in used in the manu
facture of fertilizer, but a small per
centage Is disposed of In this manner,
most of it being thrown overboard. It
Is estimated that 25 per Cent of hali-ai
ut and from 20 to 30 per cent of sal
mon is included in the entrails, head,
tall, etc."
Southern Lumber Trade. Tho lum
ber men of the southeast are now be
ginning to take a much niore optimis
tic view of the market than that which
has prevailed for the last several
months. This prospect of an Im
provement is based upon the Increased
inquiry and demand and the low stocks
now being carried.

20 per cent.

be in the neighborhood of 404,000

Frosts of Week Do
No Damage Here
Following la a aamtnary of the crop condi
tions in Oregon for the week ending Aua-ust 22,
as reported4the local office of the Weather
Bureau by special correspondents throughout
the state:
There were frequent showera on two days
during the middle of the week and at the
"uTlly ISwa low factthaTnB "d
In a number of the higher farming sections of J
tho stste. The frost did no ereat damaee he-
efiuse vegetation was too far advanced to be
badly hurt. The showera delayed harvesting
operations to some extent and they alo oaaeht
some hay down and it became more or lea
discolored while being cured. The rsins were
very beneficial to pastures, potatoes and sugar
beets, which are all in excellent condition at
tbe present time.
The wheat harvest Is well advanced and
some farmer are htrough with thi work.
Threshing la now jreneral and the yields are
everywhere meeting expectatlona both as to
quality and quantity. The harvesting of flax
baa begun and the crop, while not quite np
to the average, is a -'airly good one.
Stock eontlnuea in excellent condition, al
though in some of the drier sections of the
state the ranges are falling, but they sre much
better than usual at this season of the year.
Red clover la filling nicely, but alslke clover
(a not so thrifty as expected it would be
earlier in the season.
Hop picking will begin in some of the ear
lier yards next week. This crop has mad a
good growth and while some yarda are in
fected with vermin this pest ha not been ery
troublesome as yet.
Bartlett pears are being picked and the
crop ia an excellent one. Applea and prunes
continue doing nicely and altogether the week
was a favorable oue for the ataple crops in
Oregon.
