v i MtMtmA that the oondensaries will ad
vance their buyintr price on milk to $3.90 per
hundred pounds November in, nut eiiorie w
oonlirm this failed.
With the milk people grabbing all supplies
of raw stuff in sifht and higher prices quoted,
creamery men say that it would be suicide for
them to lower the price of butter and thereby
reduce buttarfat.
There is no doubt that people will be com
pelled to pay a high price for butter if they
want it lust now because the creameries can
not secure the raw material if they reduce
values.
It is a Question as to what the people want.

Fruit shipments from the Yakima val
ley ror tne past week have been over
600 cars despiter the fact that there la
a car shortage in the district. When
it is considered that every car shipped
carried over the normal tonnage it is
fair to say that the total Was nearer
650 cars. Over 240 of the cars shipped
were refrigerators, the remainder be
ing boxcars. The total fruit shipments
to date is now 9064 cars, of which 6000
cars were soft fruit. By the most con
servative estimate there still remains
6000 cars of winter apples to be sent
to market.

American manufacturers. .The Rus
sian government was preparing, prior '
to the last revolution, to adopt aV
standard shoe for the use of civilian
government workers and American
shoe manufacturers were to have
been called upon to submit bids for
these tempting contracts. France
haa already adopted a atandard shoe
and it is the opinion of leather ex
perts that the United States govern
ment will be compelled to take simi
lar action. Reports to the govern
ment show the price of sole leather
has advanced about 100 per cent
since the war began and other grade
of leather 111 per cent, besides tbi
prospective Russian orders, the Am,--.
lean manufacturers have been calUd
upon to furnish shoes to nearly alt
the allied nations. It is eapected
that the Russian embargo against -
exports of raw materials will be
raised soon and this, will relieve the
American leather market very matei
tally. Manufacturers estimate that,
1,000,000.000 dry skins will be lra-v
ported from Russia as aoon as tne
embargo is lifted.

Oregon City, Nov. 13. TV. P. Haw
ley Sr., president and general manager
of the Hawley Tulp ae Paper com- j
pany, announced last night that his
company's plant will be closed soon
and will remain idle for an Indefinite
period. Such action i- due, according
to Mr. Hawley, to a shortage of cars.
and not to the paper mill strike now
iisZion in Oregon.' City. In his announce-
136 ; ment, Mr. Hawley state-, that there
12 are no ulterior motives back or hi a
17 action but that the inability of the
railroad company for some days to
furnish cars for-shipping paper, and
no relief in sight, makes it necessary.
Mr. Hawley advises all his old em
ployes now on strike, In sympathy
with those of the Crown-Willamette
planC to seek employment elsewhere.
The Hawley company is at present
running two paper machines several of
the employes having returned to rork
during the past week, their only con
tention against the company being
that it was to run out an order of 10
or more tons of prlt paper for the
Crown-Willamette company.
At the request of the Hawley com
pany. Mayor E. C. Hackett has ap
pointed Ed Shaw, former chief of po
lice and on the force for almost 20
years, now a night watchman at the
Hawley plant, aa a special policeman
to patrol the plant.
Union officials this morning say
there is nothing new in the situation.
Strikers do not seem to have lost
heart, even though a number are out
of employment-
