VATER IS PUMPED
FROM CELLAR AND
RUNS RIGHT BACK
Efficacy of four-Inch or any other
Inch centrifugal pump to keep a
- basement clear of water during; the
present high conditions in the Wil
lamette are nil, according; . to the
head of the house of Freeman . &
Son. implement men on the east side.
, Water- backed Into the basement of
Freeman A Son. Freeman would keep it
clear by the use of a four inch pump,
which, according- to laws made and pro
vided, should reduce the water in his
basement at the rate of an inch an hour.
The pump placed, huge stream was
thrown into the-gutter on the Belmont
street side. . Freeman watched the opera
'tlon all night, but the gauge stood the
same. On Thursday it developed that
the water was running down Belmont to
Water street, thence to Morrison, back
to Front and into the back end of Free
man s basement. .
"I see now where they get that term
laughing watery commented J. A. Free
man, president of the firm. "The water
that's la our basement certainly has the
laugh on us. We've been paying for the
gasoline to give It a ride around the
block all night long, and here it is back
again. Just as good as new."

THE PAClipIC "TELEPHONE
AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY
BUSINESS. CONDITIONS ARE IMPROVING, SAYS JUDGE GARY
U. S. STEEL HAS
NO EARLY CALL
New fork, May 27. (L N. S.)
Trading conditions were mixed again
today - in the market, many leading
stocks showing strength and moving up
to higher . levels, - while a number of
specialties showed marked declines. ,
Mexican Petroleum moved up one
point to 151, but reacted to 150. Bal
timore & Ohio advanced to 41 on
fairly large trading. Studebaker was
a weak feature. After making a gain
of to 73 it had a sharp decline to
70. ..,
The market, which was largely pro
fessional, later became unsettled. Stu
debaker, after its decline of 70, was
in better demand and rallied to 71,
and fractional ' gains were ' made in
Kelly-Springfield Tire and u United States
Rubber. . "
United States Steel occasioned gen
eral comment. For the first time since
that stock has been traded in on the
stock exchange, a period of over 20
years, there were no transactions in it
during the first half hour, and a quo
tation was sent out reading 8283
Baldwin ranged from 82 to 81.
Rails, after showing strength, also
became heavy, Reading falling nearly
two points to 70, and Northern Pa
cific declined to 70., International
Harvester dropped to 86.

BAKERS DEBATE
WEIGHT OF LOAF
By Ralph H. Turner
United News Staff Correspondent
'Washington, May 27.-On the out
skirts of Washington, where the bu
reau of standards has removed itself
from the- annoyances of downtown
political life, a group of scientists,
aided by a few master bakers, is
wrestling; with the 'question : "Shall
the American housewife, when she
buys a loaf of bre&d, be guaranteed
the weight of that loaf? and "if so,
how?"
The reason for it all is the fourteenth
annual conference on weights and meas
ures. Bread weight legislation is but.
one phase of the conclave, but no other
topic Is arousing greater discussion.
The trouble seems to be that while the
bread loaf can be standardized as to
weight, no system has been devised for
Insuring the quality of the daily bread.
Speaking from the bakers' standpoint,
H. K. Barnard, director of the American
Institute of Banking, explained : '
"The consumer can get a pound of
alleged bread which will do her abso
lutely no good, or she can get the same
weight of the most nourishing food in
the world. Between these extremes
there are innumerable variations, for
which no system of accurate standards
has ever been devised. '.
This view was supported by William
F. Cluett. inspector of weights and
measures in Chicago. Cluett pointed
out that while nearly every state legis
lature was attempting to regulate the
weight of a- bread loaf, oven side, 12
hours after baking, very -few of ' these
measures said anything about the merits
of the loaf.
The bakers spokesman declared that
the regulation of weight, frequently
would operate against the housewife. De
clines or increases in the prices of flour,
he said, Bhould be reflected in the retail
trade by the size of the loaf, explaining
that these price fluctuations were too
smsul to warrant the addition or re
duction of a cent in the retail figure.
If the price of flour - should make a
fiftieth of a cent increase - in the pro
duction cost of a loaf of bread, the
baker would have to add a whole cent
to the retail t cost.
"The bakers are not agreed that bread
should be sold at standard weight. said
Barnard. "But they all think the con
sumer should get what he pays for.
This could be done, he added, by per
mitting the bakers to produce any size
loaf, but force them to stamp the weight
on the package. :
Cluett countered:
"When the increase in cost of ingred
lents amounts to less than half a cent
per loaf no charge should be made in
the selling price ; if the increase Is
one 'half cent or more then let the
baker raise the price one full cent
"If the baker is allowed to tell us
the exact quality, weight and price of
our -bread," Cluett continued, "it will
be only a short time before other deal
ers try to regulate the quality, price and
amount of what we eat and wear."
No one suggested that the housewife
bake her own bread.
Bond Certification;
Given Approval by
State Commission
Salem. Or., May 27. Certification of
$75,000 in bonds of the Grants Pass Ir
rigation district and $125,000 In bonds' of
the Wallowa Valley 4 Improvement dis
trict was approved by the state Irriga
tion securities commission Wednesday
afternoon.
Several directors of the Silver lake
and Summer lake. Irrigation districts ap
peared before the board at Wednesday's
meeting to urge approval of the sale -of
bonds of the two districts segregating
$535,000. At a former meeting of .the
board a bid of 80 cents on the dollar for
these bonds was placed before It for ap
proval under", the provisions .of an act of
the last ieglslature, which provides that
Irrigation district bonds may be sold at
less than .90 if approved by the securi
ties commission.
Bank of Erineville
Is , Issued Charter;
Crook Bank Closed
Salem, May 27. Coincident with the
announcement that a charter had been
Issued to the Bank of Prineville, Frank
C. Bramwell, state superintendent of
banks, announced the failure of his ef
forts toward a reorganization of the old
Crook county bank, which suspended
business December 27. Definite action
on the application of this Bank of Prine
ville for a charter had been delayed
pending the attempt to reorganise the
Crook County bank, Bramwell explains.
Officers of the new institution, which
is capitalized at $50,000. are president, J.
It. Kamopp of Portland ; cashier, W. O.
Hall; assistant cashier, George F. Eus
ton ; .directors. A. J. Noble, J. M. Elliott
and Lake M. BechtelL
Declaring his Inability at this time to
make any definite forecast relative to
the liquidation of the defunct bank,
Bramwell expressed a hope that deposi
tors in the old institution may be paid
off at the rate of 80 cents on the dollar.
This however, he adds, "depends almost
entirely upon the. future conditions and
prosperity of 'Crook county." Expressing
his regret over the failure of the -move
for a reorganisation of the old bank,
Bramwell predicts a prosperous future
for the new institution. -

BUSINESS IMPROVED
SAYS JUDGE GARY
New York, May 27.(I. N. S.)
General business throughout the
United States Is improving but there
must be further readjustment be
fore the public begins to buy upon a
normal basis. Judge E. II. Gary,
chairman of the United States Steel
corporation, told the American Iron
& Steel Institute here today.
"I am not at all discouraged; there ia
nothing the matter. with the country," ,
declared Judge Oary In his addreai
opening, the annual meeting of the in
stitute. 'Judge Gary declared that Bome of, the "
prices charged for commodities are un
reasonable "if not extortionate." He
said that strict enforcement of the law la
a vital factor in the restoration of nor
mal conditions. - .
One of the most hopeful signs of the
times, he added, was the apparent dis
position of the national administration
at Washington to help legitimate bunt- ,
ness. Judge Gary said that until wanes '
are further decreased the costs of many
steel products will not permit lower sell
ing prices. He la opposed to further
wage cuts, however, until the coat of
living, comes down.
