MOST WOOL SHIPMENTS TO .
,GO TO ATLANTIC VIA CANAL
Spokane, Wash, May 30. Most of the
wool of the Pacific Northwest this year
will be shipped East via the Panama
canal because of high railroad rates, i&
the prediction made today by R. i C
BaJch, prominent sheepman, at a meet
ing of the Spokane 'Stockmen's club.
"From Ellensburg the rail freight rate
to Boston .on wool I3 $2.65 a hundred,
but the rate from Ellensburg to the coast
and thence by water to Boston is only.
$L78," saidar. Balch. It is a peculiar
fact that the - farther back from the
coast one goes, the higher the rate is
east. " t
"Coffin Brothers have shipped all the
wool to Boston by water this year and
F. M. Rothrock expects to do the came.
The rate from Spokane by water makes
almost as much .a saving as from Ellens
burg. The best way to ship wool out
would be to barge from Lewiston . and
Pasco and thence by way of the Panama
canal, but the river service is not organ
ized to do that. Coffin Brothers' wool
was 25 days going by water, which is
almost as quick as by rail."
"Wool that a year ago sold for 40
cents a pound .is now selling forv 12
cents," said William Hyslop. "W'ool men
of this state have sold more of their
woof already this season than the men
of other Northwestern states, because
they, are more independent of the mort
gage men. : I do not anticipate' an in
flux of foreign mutton this year. ; The
tariff on wool I do not believe will have
any immediate effect on the prices.";

How T. B, Lott Tore
Down First Church
St Helens, Or., May 30. Judge Thomas
McBrlde. of the Oregon supreme court,
who was in St. Helens Saturday, com
menting on the death of his friend, T.
B. Lott, which occurred here recently,
lold a story which many of the" old
timers recall and which showed the in
tense Christian spirit of Mr. Lott.
About 20 years ago, when Judge Mc
Bride was' on the circuit court bench
for Columbia and Clatsop counties, . an
epidemic of smallpox occurred in St.
Helens. Mr. Lott, from his own personal
means, had just completed a neat little
church but the Portland pastor of the
Wesleyan Methodist church had not ar
rived to dedicate it when the epidemic
occurred. The health officers were at i
a loss as to where to secure a pest
house, so took Mr, Lott's church. When
the patients had recovered, Mr. Lott
tore down the church and built another
for the reason, as he expressed It, that
"the house of the Lord should not be
defiled." '

FARMERS CHEERED BY BETTER OUTLOOK
CROPS PROMISING;
LABOR IS CHEAPER
By A. -1. Welton
Special Correspondent of The Journal
, CMcago, May 30. Future crops,
foreign political developments, ex
port' and Import trade, money, credit
and labor conditions are the con
tinuing: elements' of interest to stu
dents, of business. V
The feeling In the farmer sections is
better, because of promising crops and
cheaper labor. -. .
In Chicago itself the building strike
is unsettled, more labor agents have
been indicted for extortion and a group
of professional ' bomb planters is in jaiL
The last is 'only another step in busi
ness readjustment. Bomb planting was
apparently a process of coercing inde
pendent tradesmen to join organizations
which controlled prices. Even the under
takers were hot immune.
Irregularities in business are the rule
without any notable progress in re
covery. The far-sighted merchants are
content. Half the trouble, said one of
these, was caused by indiscriminate buy
ing and long commitments. These pro
duced - excessive stocks, cancellations
and liquidations at a loss. The latter
product is small orders and fear of
commitments. This is at least a plau
sible explanation of the variations found
in different branches of identical indus
tries. It does not explain why retail
trade is better in city than in country
districts. City shops have a larger
turnover and can . absorb losses of tener.
City retail prices are being lowered to
tempt buyers with some degree of suc
cess. There is a plain determination to
keep goods moving whatever the ob
stacles and in the face of customers'
disposition to wait.
Even more Interesting than favorable
reports from tanners and leather deal
ers, and asparagus at 5 cents a bunch, is
the coming belief that unless transpor
tation conditions change there will come
relocation of industries.
The tendency to bring labor to raw
materials, instead . of taking raw ma
terials to labor, is already faintly ob-
Lservable and study of conditions is re
vealing such a solution of the transpor
tation problem. If a return to pre-war
status of transportation and labor were
conceivable, there would be a return to
former conditions. It is a phase of the

By Investigations
Kansas City, Mo., May SO. The part
material prices play In preventing the re
sumption of building is being given at
tention in this territory just now. 'With
one Inquiry under way at Jefferson City,
the state capital, by the attorney gen
eral, another will open In Kansas this
week before an arbitration board selected
to setUe the building trades wage con
troversy, but also authorised, at the in
stigation of the workers, to investigate
material costs.
, The wage decision of this board will
be binding upon the workers and the
builders, but it will have no power to do
other than bring out facts about ma
terial prices. However, a representative
of the attorney general will be present
to determine whether the facts developed
show .manipulations that violate the anti
trust laws. The workers contend that
material costs, not wages, are chiefly re
sponsible for holding up building oper
ations. -

estimates ahead of the government, point
to the smallest crop raised in 25 years.
Some of the private bureaus are pre-
i dieting an estimate from the govern
ment around 8,000,000 bales. Last year
the South produced 13,000,000 bales in
round . .numbers.
-The tremendous shrinkage In Values
and stagnation in the cotton trade which
has taken place since the last crop was
raised was due in large part to the
knowledge that the unconsumed stocks
of American cotton at the end of the
season would aggregate, about 10,000,000
bales, or nearly a year's supply. This
Is about twice the amount usually car
ried over..- ; i -
