Further advance will be made on account of th higher freight cost. In final effort to save the poultry industry of the Pacific Northwest from absolute ruin, a meeting of the Oregon Poultry Producers' asso ciation will be held at the Multnomah hotel in this city Thursday. A luncheon will be served at 1 p. m. after winch there will be a discussion of the problem now confronting the poultry producers of the state. ' The discussion will cover such things as the present cost of egg production aa compared with the prices for poultry products; a compari son of price in Portland, 8 eat tie and San Fran cisco; the possibility of securing mora uniform quotations on poultry product in the future; the effect of the importation of eastern eggs and the possibility of preventing their sale as Oregon eggs; an educational campaign to stimulate the people to a greater consumption of poultry and eggs; the possibility of a more complete and strbnger organization of poultry interest. It has been said that in the past year many poultrymen have seld their bene and gone out of the imsi ncsa because the hiah price of feeds ha made it Impossible for them to keep on in the business and make a profit. If this is so it is a serious thing and they wish to gather together and dis cuss the facts of the case- o that, if necessary, something may be done to remedy the situation. Some very interesting information should be brought out at'this meeting and it is felt that it will be to mutual advantage if ail interested will be there, as it is the intent to look a this proposition from all sides. It appears that only through a clear mutual understanding of the facts can the beat cooperation be secured.

Higher prices for meat commodities in the wholesale trade will be forced within a few days as a result of the etlra freight rata that baa been named by the government. Some of the rate are said to be unequal ana in th matter of soaps, leading eastern manufac turers have already withdrawn their quotation until such a time as they can straighten out tba tangle of rates. According to on leading eastern manufacturer", the government has asked the soap people to util ise as far as possible vegetable oils. Most of them are now using soy b-an oil in their whit soaps and aa the government has suspended all import and export rates, this means an advance of approximately 279 pee cent in the cost of bringing soy beans from the Orient. The situation is a most complicated one but It ia expected that the rate will be equalized within a short time and manufacturer and the trade 'will then know exactly where to place values. buy w. a. a.

The Lewiston correspondent of the Interna tional News Service advises: Lewiston, Idaho, June 23. (Special) The situation regarding the . wheat crop in the sur rounding country is becoming serious on account of the long dry spell with hot winds, which have prevailed for some time. Charles Jensen, prominent rancher of the Tammany district, reports that in case there is no rain within the next 10 days he will have to plow under a large part of hi wheat crop, in fact all of the spring planting. He says: "Generaily speak ing, throughout the valley, the crops have held up wonderfully well under the dry windy days we have had during the past weeks, but it i now getting to a point where we will be com pelled, to plow under our plantings, especially the spring grain, unless we have rain to relieve the situation. Some of the fall grains will come through fairly well, but spring grains, gen erally speaking, are going to be very short, at least 30 or 40 per cent of the normal crop, at the best." The Union town-Col ton district, above Lewis ton, is beginning to feel the effects of the dry weather, and although their percentage of lo.s over a normal crop will not be so large, unless they have rain soon the wheat is going to suffer considerably. Camas Prairie points report the grain beginning to show the effects of the dry weather, but that a rain within the next two I weeks will bring out a bumper crop. I. oral 1 weather prophets are optimistic ovr the present cloudy condition and promise rain in a day or two.

It contained no attachments save its four one-Inch steel supporting cables, which had parted apparently from strain. There was no means of deter mining how long it had been immersed. Officers at the Brooklyn navy yard said they had no information regarding a missing- basket. Bath beach training of ficials were equally at a loss to account for its presence. buy w. a. a.

PrtaeTllle Anticipate Prosperity The completion of the railroad from Prlne vllle to Redmond is looked for during the month of July. Until recently the promoters of the road, that is to say. the whole population of Prinevtlle, ex pected to have the road completed and trains running by July 4. Shortage of labor hag interfered with these plans, however, and the date of the big cele bration which is to mark the opening of the road has been postponed. Citi zens of Prineville are donating their services whenever they can spare a half day from their regular employments, to construction work on the line. An event of even greater Importance to Prine ville than the completion of the rail road will be the finishing of the Ochoco irrigation project. The-toe dam has al ready been built and many ranchers are benefiting by the uje of the waters of Oohoco- creek. When completed the Ochoco project will bring 36.000 acres under cultivation. Thus, furnished with an abundance of water on the rich soil of the valley land and a railroad to transport its products to market, the Prineville district looks forward to a season of increased prosperity.

ACTION TO BROADEN DRAFT UP ID BAKER Chamberlain Says He Is Certain Boys of 18 to 21 Will Not Be Called to Front. it would be for an Industrial census. "If at a later date It might becorn necessary to Increase the are for mill tatry service say to 35. men up. to that ' age would probably be classified ac cording to their work." I? Washington, Jone 24. tl. N. 8. Any additional .broadening of the draft age j at present would be a part of the "work j or fight program of the government and not for the immediate purpose of increasing the. available military forces. But no action to broaden draft ages will t be taken by congress except at the spe cial request of Secretary of Wsr Baker. These two facts were emphasised Sunday night by Senator George K. Chamberlain of Oregon, chairman of the senate military committee. 'Flrst. remember this." said the sena tor. "There is no bill In congress widen ing the draft ages and no rider to the military appropriation bill to that effect. There has been serious talk in commit tee about it. "General Crowder told us the other day he thought it should be done. I thought so at the start, but they beat me then and there will be no change now unless the secretary of war asks for it. "It is sure that In no case will boys of 18 or under 21 be called for military service. Under present conditions there Is no possibility that men over 31 will be so calleta.
