NOVEMBER 29, 1819. -15 4r APPLE PRODUCERS AS WELL AS CONSUMERS ARE SUFFERING OREGON BUTTER IS MOST COSTLY Salt Lake District Cream Shipper Get Fur Less Than In This Territory ' Claim Unfair Competition. BUTTER WILL ADVANCE All the local creameries with the -ex' ception of the Rait Lake eoacera will advance the price of butter 1 rent Mon day morning, because of the recent ad vance of t cent la bntterfat. It id stated that tome are quoting an addi tional S rents a pound for butterfat, bnt tale price Is rtmpetltlve. The anxiety of certain creamery In terests with outside connections to ad vance the price of butter and butterfat at Portland and other Pacific Northwest points," Is less perplexing to the trade than a few days ago. The Salt L-ake concern which operates a branch here stands to make considerable money pro viding the figures on butterfat and cost of butter making are not misleading. For intanre the last price reported tor but terfat delivered at Salt Lake, which la the headquarter of the company. waa Sc a pound, while th Portland delivered price for butterfat remain at 74c generally. At Portland the boosting company ia (itinling one a pound for butter in print, a differential of He a pound In fa ror of butterfat. while at Halt Lake the differential i but 1 e. Tlu means, according to som of the trade, that the Salt I.ake mra mn ran force Lite local trade to lose money v bjr quoting ilia extreme price for huurrfat here wnn geuing ita nuge supplies ai uie k. ua mity at materially lower prices In other word, the trade bere figures that Llie.

In theae difference In the butterfat prire the local trade claims to aee a good reason for boosting the cost of tiylng at Portland.

GROWERS HURT BY APPLE RATE Lack of Suitable aTriff for Bulk Ap ples Drives Business Elsewhere Idaho Is Now Profiting. By Hyman H. Cohen Oregon apple growers are losing heav ily as a result of the lack of a proper rate for the shipment of bulk apples from this state to tne middle west. While huge stocks are being purchased for bulk shipment in Idaho because of the spe cial rate that the stock there takes. Ore gon shipments can be made only at rates that are materially higher than the boxed rate, a condition known in no other state. While the middle west is picking up the smaller sized and inferior quality , . . . , . i i.uu.-r wU w answers. naming very ngnt. lie- Idaho apples are fair values because of mind and movement moderate. Growers hold the ability to get them to eastern con- i ing for higher prices. Market steady, no change sumers at a low. rate. Many hundreds of tons of this same grade of apples will go to waste in Oregon because of this lack of rate. The reason why the eastern buyers want these low grade and small sized apples shipped in bulk is to eliminate the expensive packing that ofttimes costs more than the apples themselves. By shipping them in bulk and saving this huge expense the consumers can secure their requirements at lower prices. Those desiring pecil information regarding any market should write the Market Kditor, Oregon Journal, enclosing stamp for reply. COEX C.EERALLY LOWER IV THE EARLY CHICAGO TRADE BV JO. F.

Offerings are somewhat restricted and sales are shown from $40 to iZ a ton, the highest of the season to date. The government's purchase of approximately 750,000 barrels of flour through the Portland office of Max II. Houser. second vice president of the Groin corporation, ia announced at the same price a ruled the previous month. Thi was unexpected because of the higher prices millers paid for wheat. Practically all the flour offered by millers waa accepted, the ruling price being $9.80 per barrel alongside veasels. Regarding the hay situation, the Glob. Grain A Milling company advises: "The movement of hay is very light, only 1 8 cars arriving within the pat week. Ar rivals for the season up to this time are less than half of what they were la. year, and the same U true of Seattle. Shippers in the Yakima valley have advanced their idea a to value during the week, and now are asking fully $2 a ton more than a few days ago. It looks as though the information given out. by Pullman a week ago is not far out of line, and with severe weather we might ea&ily see an advance locally of $2 a ton. The prevailing pric. to dealers is $30 a ton, while in round lots to the whole sale trade the prices are correspondingly lower." The larger hay dealers are now freely ottering SI'S a ton basis for aJIalla.

C. Harris, adjutant gen eral of the United states. Inasmuch as it has been found that some states have no national guard organizations rec ognized by the federal government, that some fall far short of their authorized quotas and that others have fully or ganized guards, it has been decided to redistribute the number of candidates allowed on the bawls of the actual en listed strength of the recogniied guard organization of the several states, the letter state?.

REACHING AFTER, THE DEAD "LEST WE FORGET" By DR. JAMES E. TALMAGE Of the Council of the Twelve, Church of Jerau Chriat of Latter-day Saints, Salt Lake City, Utah. NOTE: For free eoples of othor artiel of thi ri, sand reouart tp th author. The Latter-day Saints are deeply con- j cerned in the identification or ineir dead, back through the generations to the remotest extent possible. This is ex- i emplified by the persistent ardor of the people in the compilation and preserva tion of cenealocical records, the collat ing of items of lineage, and the formula tion of true family pedigrees, by which the facts as to the relationship of a.n cectors to posterity may be determined. In this specific activity the Church of ! Jeus Christ of Latter-day Saints is not i working alone ; for it is a notable fact .that during the last seven or eight de- has developed ' to a degree theretofore unknown in modern history. The living are re&rhlng hark ward to learn of their dead. And In this movement, as In many other distinguishing; features of particular epochs, a power auperlor to man's unguided purpose Is operative. The immediate motive In such under takings may vary with tha Individual. Many, doubtless, are eager to trace their pedigree to an Illustrious source ac cording to human estimate of eminence; and of these some find disappointment As literature attests, many spurious) pedigrees have been fabricated. It waa probably against aucn mat i-aui in veighed In his terse admonition to both Timothy (1 Tim. 1:4) and Titus (8:9) and through thern to the Church, to eschew fables and endlens genealogies, from the discussion of which only con tention would result. The latter-day Saints have a specific, and, indeed, unique purpose In genealogi cal Investigation. They seek not nobil ity nor aristocracy of anc8try, but the facts, let the line lead where It may ; and the shadow of falsification would be fatal to their object Queries as to why the Church la thus concerned are as frequent as the Inquiry "Why do the Latter-day Saints build Temples V One reply suffices for both questions. Every believer In Individual existence bevond the! grave and , everybody be lieves in or fears the certainty of such a state hopes and yearns for the blessed condition we call salvation. On the au thority of Scripture tha Church pro claim that "throngs the Atosemeai of Chiiot, all mankind snay be oared, fey obedience to the law aad ordinance of the GopePt and conversely, that with out eompltance with the laws and ordi nances Dreacribed by Jesus Christ no man can have place in the Kingdom of God.
