A defi nite step to show where the blame lies for extremely high prices for clothing and possible profiteering: : wu taken at Tuesday's session of the s flfty-fifth'annual convention of the National Woolgrrowers association, .when it was voted unanimously by the body to wire a statement of its lews to United States Senator Cap per of Kansas, who is starting an in vestigation from Washington, D. C, and has wired the association for its stand on the question. SATS PUBLIC IS DUPED I. F. MrnLany of Chicago, secretary of the national sheep and wool bureau. In a speech here last week before the Utah state association, contended that the public If paying from $50 to 7S for a suit of clothes containing not more than 15 or 16 worth of wool and that clothing fabrics are represented as all wool wnen muuiiciurca rrom snoady, or 1 wool that has been used one or more times. Establishment in the principal centers by the wool growers of the nation of selling agencies to dispose of their pro duction direct to the manufacturer. In stead of the present system by which brokerage and commission merchants are placed in the position of the middle man, was advocated today by Dr. S. W. McClurs. retiring secretary. In his ad dress, "A Market ror Our Wool." SPECULATORS ARE BLAMED McClure pointed out that the wool of the country Is handled almost exclusively by speculators whose Interest It is to buy the wool at the lowest price and sell It at the highest price, and. In addition to this, fix conditions under which the wool is sold. If the prospects are for better prices, the dealer buys the wool out right, but If the prospects point to lower wool, then the dealer takes it on com slgnment. he explained. In the one ease, where there is probability of a profit, the dealer reaps the reward, but, on the other hand, where -a loss is im minent, the grower Is left holding the sack, he declared, pointing out that the ' establishment by the growers of their own selling agencies would make thTfl both the producer and the middleman and allow them to reap the reward as well as bear the burdens. WEW NF.CRF.TART CHOSEN The new secretary of the National Woolgrowers" association, succeeding Dr S. W. McClure, will be F. R. Marshall of Washington. D. C, first assistant in the United States bureau of animal huis bsndry. Marshall announced today he would accept the position of secretary, tendered him by the association in con- 'ventlon. Dr. McClure has resigned to associate himself with the Cunningham Sheep A Land company at Pendleton, Or. Marshall has been in the service of the government six yesrs. lie was for ssveral years a teacher of agriculture at the State University of Ohio and the State Agricultural college of Iowa and later in the agricultural college of Texas.

An effort to effect stronger regulations will be taken when the live stock raisers meet with Supervisor N. ?. Jacobspn of the Deschutes forest, early next month.

Packers Urged to Use More Care In Siberian Shipments Urging American shimwra to use bet ter packing ok n - o Siberia, Boris Milovich. commercial attache of the Siberian consulate office at San Francisco, has forwarded a letter from a large shipping firm in Vladivostok to the foreign trade department of the Chamber of Commerce. . The letter explains that American goods are given severe handling at the points of transfer Kobe and Yokohama and again in unloading at Vladivostok. "Rough handling Is done purposely In many instances," says the letter, "so that the cases may be broken open and I goods taken rrom them. Sometimes as much as 60 per cent of a shipment of goods is stolen e.-. route firm America to Vladivostok." i ARMENIAN YOUTH REACHES PORTLAND AFTER LONG TRIP 17-Year-0ld Nephew of Cartozian Brothers Shows Himself to Be Master of Many Difficulties. With' a good sense of direction, but without knowledge of English or mode.n money values as con ceived by American railroad com panies, Nersess Cartozian, 17-year-old nephew of the Cartozian broth ers of Portland, has arrived here to make his home after travels that brought him from Sivas, Turkey, to Oregon, alone. Notwithstanding the hazards of such a journey without a companion, and even without acquaintances speaking his own tongue, the Armenian youngster can account for every cent of money he had when he started. PARENTS WAKN HIM When the lad left the parental roof to cast his lot with his uncles and cousins In Portland he was repeatedly admonished that his way was beset by many trials most of them In the form of gentlemen who traffic In the Inno cence of young Immigrants and under pretext of friendship fleece them of their meagre funds. Nersess was suc cessfully admonished and he testifies that throughout the trip he carefully avoided untoward acquaintances. With the aid of American mission aries in Turkey the boy got a govern ment pass to go to Constantinople "for military training," since, had his real Intention been known to the authorities, he would have beer restrained from leaving his home city. At Constantino ple other church folk aided the traveler In getting his passports. FIST CLASPS MONET Arrived at New York after some nar row escapes in Paris and other French cities, where he kept his fist tightly closed about his purse, the only knowl edge the boy had of Portland and Ore gon was that "they were a long way off." But he didn't know how much money would be demanded to bring him here. He hauled out an envelope bearing his uncles' business address and wrote upon Its 4 face "$20," with a question mark. The agent Indicated that such a price would be too small. The lad wrote various sums, each with a question mark, until he gave up the effort to guess the fare and had the agent write It. The figure went above $100 and the lad employed his best talents in jockey ing for the difference. Eventually the agent succumbed and sold the ticket for the $100 and paid the difference himself. Meanwhile the Portland uncles were not aware of thev nephew's approach. They were advised that he was about to start, but had nothing more definite. Their surprise was great when welfare workers at union station called them to say the lad was In the city. Thus ended for the Armenian lad a journey that started in his dreams many years ago. He cherished that dream throughout the troublesome days of war, when he and his people were forced to flee the wrath and the massacres of the Turks. For tw years the boy was a refugee in a mountain retreat, hiding out of reach of the Turks. Title & Trust Co.
