their steps by covering' they found there was
little corn to.be had. Resting spots for' the

Jut Bag Regulations
Regarding the bag situation. Max H. Houeer,
second Tic president of the Food Administration
Crain corporation, has addressed the following
to millers: -
Referring to bulletin issued 'by our New Tork
office, under date of April 2, changing the speci
fications to resd:
"One hundred and forty pound bags, made
from 10 H ounce extra quality, double calen
dered jute, cut not smaller than 40x49. and
preferably 40x50."
Please be advised that if bags of th above
material are unobtainable, flour will be accepted
in 1 0 H ounce common jute sacks as a last re
sort; also that the price of flour shipped in com
mon jute saeka will be 5e under the price of
flour shipped in 10 H ounce extra quality, doa
ble calendered jute sacks. -
The reason for requiring the stronger packing
b due to oar shipments now going to port with
out adequate handling facilities and then being
forwarded into -th interior of Poland, Ron
mania, Csecho-Slovakia and Jugo-Slavia, so th
shipments are subject to very sever handling.

The sharp decline expected In som quarters
of the cheese trade failed to materialise at east
era producing centers Monday and the local pric
remained unchanged, although receipts are be-
Monewhat easier in tone and price.
. There was every belief among the big people
that th Wisconsin market would drop yesterday,
bat something went wrong with th manipulating
influences of these interests, and instead of de
clining soma, of the eastern markets actually
ad ts need. .- - .
The cheese situation,, st"Tond du Lac. Wlv.
showed a fair volume of sale on Satardey, bat
buying was practically all on small lots, with Tery
little change in price.
Boston A slightly firmer feeling wss appar
ent on the cheese market and there was a fair
small business. The trading waa largely on
twins, both new and old, the former bringing

Chicago The market had a steady tone to
day, although trading was unusually quiet Prtoes
remained practically the same. Most dealers
were not pressing sales, but were holding off

fore quoting prices. Outside inquiries ax re
ported good. - -.
New Tork There was a much firmer feeling
and considerably -more activity on cheese market
today. Tne volume ot trading was quite targe,
and there was reported export buying of fresh
twin and flats at 32c. However, some dealers
were not inclined to meet this- price and were
asking 82 He With the incrased firmness in the
market there is a tendency to obtain slightly
higher prices. Receipts gaturdsy amounted to
almost 55,000 pounds. Storage holdings were
reduced approximately 14.000.

acted today, due to its being observed a a hol

San Francisco Trading waa rather quiet, but
a rather firm feeling among dealers ia being

Tokio. April 19. (Delayed) (TJ. P-.)
Numerous reports from reliable and Im
partial sources Indicate the Japanese
people have beerf kept Ignorant of the
brutality of the Japanese military party
in Korea.
Reports are ' current - that gendarme,
unprovoked, have shot into crowds, kill
ing; and wounding women, and children.
The wounded have not been given
treatment, these reports state, except in
the police court prison, where the treat
ment is of the crudest type. The hos
pitals are unable to accommodate the
many wounded.
A rigid censorship of news from Korea,
has been established. Everyone leaving:
Korea ia searched, and foreigners arriv
ing fear to tell what they know.
One prominent foreigner, following m
personal investigation, declares tne Jap
anese are making a serious error in sup
pressing the news. Martial: law has
practically been established, he says.
with new orders being issued dally.
The Korean National association in
San Francisco on April 12 published a
cable from Korea which declared mora
than 100 unarmed people . had been
killed in Seoul during a three-hour
demonstration. Several thousand per
sons had been killed by; the Japanese
since March 27, the cable stated. Naked
women, it said, had been beaten before
crowds. -
The above Tokio cable indicates that
this situation has been kept from the
knowledge of the Japanese people.

Victory Loaa Beads a Splendid Invest,
meat The nonularltv of the abort term
feature of the Victory loan coupled with
the high rate of interest paid, will re
sult in a considerable . oversubscription.
according to' leading bankers od th coun
try, it laiao freely predicted tnax tne
securitiea offered will ; advance ; above
par within a few months after the close
ot the campaign. The probability of a
rising market and the liberal terms on
which ; the notes are being offered 10
per cent down and six months tn which
to, bay the balance makes the taaua a
splendid investment for wage earner
and salaried men. A wide distribution
of thes issue la looked for and the an
nouncement of the secretary of the
treasury tLat overaubseriptlona will not
be accepted lends color to the claim that
the campaign will be of short duration.

Geological Survey
Of Reservoir Site
To Be Undertaken
Salem, April 22. State Engineer Cup
per has - signed a contract under ' the
terms of which the state will cooperate
witrv the United States-reclamation serv ;
ice in making a geological investigation
of the Benham Falls reservoir site in
Central Oregon. v , '
iThla reservoir site is considered the
key to the development of the greater '..:
Deschutes Irrigation project, 'consisting
of four units. The largest of the units
Is known as the North unit and conn,
prises 100,000 acres of land. .The other
units ara called the West unit, tha South
unit and the North Canal unit
An engineering investigation of the f
reservoir site has - been made by the '
government and state and the site waa -found
to be feasible from that stand
point, but in the light of the state'a ex
perience with the Tumalo reservoir It
was deemed advisable to make a geologi
cal investigation, : r
If tha reservoir site ts found to be
satisfactory from a geological stand
point, an effort will be made to Induce
the government to construct a big lrri
gallon project which will take in several v
hundred thousand acres as part of its
certificates of indebtedness for th larger - reconstruction program.
Let's ! Finish , the Job
Let's take our coats off and put Over tha'viCTORT LOAN so
quickly and successfully that no ona will ever doubt Oregon's enter
pris and patriotism. It will prove that we are patriots at heart
100 per cent American deserving the right to share In tha benefits
which we now enjoy because our dead gave all forever. -
Let's finish the job.
