'..W' I : HyauM M. snaa..,;S';vI'J
Tbera are always two aldea to every question,
although on side t naturally rtgbt. even tnoucb
-both parties feed that they are is tha proper
I bare before so a ceanpleiac from a well
han grower of potatoes, who says that be
acid Ida : suppBea to a Portlaad abipper aad
wag piusulsid a good price). Ha save that wben
ba shipped these potatoea be wag oftercd $1.25
per cental for ha uppUea f. ft. b. bis station,
bat ba secured only $1.10 from tha party who
bought tbesa from bias,
Oa ts fae of tbis M asaM appear that tkera
was something wrong with the Portlaad dealer,
bat here is hi explanation .-
"I boogbt thaws patatoaa from lb grower at
a time when tha general market waa dull around
$1 par cental ia the country, bat aa tha grower
premised ta make immediate delivery I offered
him mora money. I sold these potatoea at tbe
nirrket then established, but did not receive
tbern for a long time after, aad after tbe
market bad advanced. I feel that.' as I bad
purr based .tbesa potatoes at tha lower priea la
ef tect at this time and sold them at tfaa same
time befote the marks bad advanced, - I waa
compelled to deliver to tbe man that purchased
frem ma at tba price contracted. t matter bow
high the market went later. Tha grower should
keep his contract, tba same as I am compelled
tO do." )".-:: .J.,,.,:,. -7 .
This ts tba cause of much friction in the
trade.. Contract ara made to secure certain
price and deBveriea, and shosdd ha kept wheth
er tbe buyer or tha seller loses money. Other
wise there would ba absolutely no raasna to con
tract at aJL If tha market goes below tba con
tract priea. tba grower would expect tba buyer
to pay him tba contracted prion, and tt tba mar
ket gees higher tba buyer profits by reason of
bis pvjclmaa,

European Condition
Of Crops Are Poor
Broomhall cabled:
United Kingdom Fair progress has been made
in plowing and sowing, but the weather ia still
somewhat unfarorabie 4 il farm work je
generally backward.
South Africa Official report states that corn
at the end of January ara 12 per cent betow
normal, indicating a crop of 84,000,000 bushels.
France Sowings of the spring crops are be
ing retarded by the unsettled weather which has
prevailed for some time. There baa been oc
eesjoaal good rains but in general tbe weather
has -net been favorable for that work. -Mora
eomplainia are received regarding (he eoadittoa
of winter wheat and it is reported officially the
condition is enghtly hetow but year.
Italy Wheat crop can still be considered fa
vorable and tbe optimistic hopes are retained
for a fair return, anthough a good crop ia un
likely, owing to the short acreage. Seeding of
corn has been snaking fair progress and tbe acre
age m expected to he larger than last year.
orth Africa -Crop prosper ta are regarded as
fsvorable although it ia a forgone conclusion
that tbe harvest arOI net escwed that of 1916.
which waa well over average. The acreage ia
Algeria ta wheat is reported as 25 per cent lower
than last year. From Tunis advices state crop
conditions are good. Morocco haa experienced
9 sever vjeitetjou Pf locusts.

Injunction agaJast : the Kpauldlng- Xoge

and d&magrea awarded before ft may be
taken in whole or part for public aervi.ee
and - on the further ground that the
legislature cannot delegate the power to
