and the cost of such a force is

of the expense of maintaining a

The United States government
also furnishes all equipment for
field service. At the present
time, the report shows, every or
ganization and individual in the
Oregon national guard fully
equipped for possible field ser
vice. The equipment received
during the past biennial period is
complete in every detail and in
cludes not only arms, ammunition
and uniforms, but camp and
marching equipage, motor trans
portation, wagon trains, pontoons.
medical supplies and ambulances.
Officers Are Veterans
While practically all officers of
the Oregon national guard have
seen active service in one or more
wars, an exacting standard of
training is being maintained. Fire
officers and seven non-commissioned
" officers of l- the regular
army have been assigned to the
state to assist in the training of
the troops. As a result of the
strenuous schedule of training, it
is pointed out that the Oregon
national guard could be mobilized
in event of necessity, in a few
hours and concentrated with full
equipment without delay or . con
fusion. In speaking of the work en
tailed in' training the national
guard, General White says in his
report:
"1 desire here to commend the
zeal and patriotism of these men
who have devoted practically all
their leisure time and every mo
ment that they, could spare from
their civif pursuits, in preparing
themselves as efficient citizen sol
diers. It must be remembered
that this work falls as an added
obligation to the duty of keeping
scribed strength.

The work of
recruiting and maintaining a
unit at the average company sta
tion Is a difficulty, considering
the public apathy that too often
exists in a community; not to
mention the pacifist effort which
occasionally operates to under
mine the organization."
Bigger Garrison Urged
Efforts are being made, the re
port states, to have a sufficient
garrison assigned by the army at
the mouth of the Columbia to ad
mit of sending -Oregon artillery
men there for field training next
summer, and to develop a
suitable training site in Oregon
to which all -troops from this state
may be sent for the next 15-day
training period. Last year the
Oregon troops trained! atj Fortt
Worden and Camp Lewis, Wash.
The report contains a recom
mendation that three more in
fantry units and two more of field
artillery be formed prior to July
1 of next year. It is understood
that General White has received
1 word from the war department
ha these additional units will be
desires them.
Part 2 of the report of the ad
jutant general is devoted to re
cords of the World war. The
report shows that much has been
done toward . the completion of
the, records affecting the' men and
women from Oregon who served
I with the armed forces of the
United States during the World
war. more than 34,000 of these

Would Maintain Exclusive
Distribution Agencies,
Commission Opposes
Washington, Dec. 6. Whether
publishers of newspapers and
magazines can maintain exclusive
wholesale distribution agencies or
must share them with their com
petitors is a question presented to
the supreme court in a case
brought by the Federal Trade
Commission against the Curtis
Publishing company under the
Clayton act.
Unfair Methods Charged
The commission charged
company with engaging In
the
un-
fair methods of competition be
cause of contracts with wholesale
dealers not to carry or handle at
wholesale periodicals of compet
itors. The commission contended
that enforcement of these con
tracts had the effect of substan
tially lessening competition and
tended to create monopoly. It di
rected the company not to enter
into any contracts with wholesale
agents which provided that they
should not act as agents for, sell
or supply others at wholesale
prices any periodicals of compet
itors without the written consent
of the Curtis Publishing company,
or to contract with wholesalers to
discontinue the sale or distribu
tion of , competing publications.
Wholesalers Held Agents
The Curtis company, alleging
that the proceeding grew out of
an attempt by two magazine pub
lishing companies to obtain with
out expense to them, the services
and benefits or its distributing or
ganization, asked the circuit court
of appeals at Philadelphia to pro
test it against the order of the
commission. That court held that
the contracts of the Curtis com
pany were legal because the
wholesalers were acting merely as
their agents. The Clayton act did
not apply, it stated, to such forms
of contract, but only to sales and
contracts for sale.
Commerce Enlarged
To use the Curtis forms of con
tract with wholesale agents, the
court said, did not amount to an
Unfair method of competition for
the reason that should the Curtis
company permit competitors to
sell to Its -wholesale dealers It
would disrupt its selling organ
ization to which the court found
it had an exclusive, right. Com
merce was not restrained, but was
enlarged " by such methods, the
court added, holding that Curtis
by General Whito In the following
recommendation:
"It is my recommendation that
with the completion of this pre
liminary work, provision should
now be made for the preparation
of a published report of Oregon's
part in the World war. It is un
thinkable that this chapter , in
Oregon's history shall be left un-
organized and unwritten, and it
is my belief that the time is now I
at hand when this record should j
be extended and the necessary
historical manuscripts prepared
for ultimate official publication.'
General White's report consists
of over 90 pages and contains
three appendices containing the
names of those from Oregon who i
were killed in action or died In
Benttce during the World war,
the names of those wounded, and
a list of persons decorated or

Government Appeals
Tho government in appealing
th case to the supreme court Con
tended that the form of contract
complained of was not one of
asrency, as found by the lower
court, but was in fact a contract
of sale, and constituted unfair
methods of competition. It was
the government's contention that
the circuit court of appeals in
reaching its conclusion had made
a finding of additional vfacts of
Its own, instead of referring the
case back to the Federal Trade
Commission for further investiga
tion. The government asserted that
a publisher obtained no property

many wholesalers were establish
ed by the joint efforts of news
papers and that the Curtis com
pany was not the originator of
the idea of selling through such
dealers. It' had, however, the
government added, placed a num-
br of these wholesalers, trained
by others, under contracts exclu
sively to serve it in the wholesal
ing of its publications, "thus prof
iting by work done by others" but
claiming "an exclusive right to
profit by its own labors in that di
rection." This practice, it was
argued, would "create a new mo
nopoly, not in ideas, but in hu
man labor.

SHARK FISHING
GOOD BUSINESS
Money Can Be Made from
Fins Alone, Declares Fish
ing Bureau Official
WASHINQT ON, Dec. 6.
Shark fishing can be made an im
portant industry In this country
ia the opinion of officials of the
bureau of fisheries. There are
many uses to which variom pans
of the dreaded 'man-killers' can
be put and at a profit to the fish
ermen. Former Secretary of Commerce
P.edfield gave prominence during
the war days to shoes made of
shark skin and it is stated that
leather from this 6kin ia as good
as that from beef hides. Its use
is confined not alone to shoe man
ufacture, but to the making of
other "leather" goods.
Good for Fertilizer
Shark steaks aso goi some ad
vertisement during the war, but
the fisheries bureau holds thai
the shark flesh, dried or smoked,
also can bring a good price per
ton as fertilizer. Shark liver oil,
crude, also is used commercially,
while the body oil, prepared "by
boiling the flesh, also 5s valuable.
The sharp also carries a deli
cacy for the oriental. It is the
fin, or rather certain of the fins.
These are deunded of the flesh
and dried. Later the cartilaginous
substance of the ::rays" of the
fins are separated, soaked in wa
ter and cut up for use in soup.
In Hong Kong it is stated that
the best restaurants charge as
much as $2.50 gold for a cup of
soup made from the first class
fins.
Fins Make Money
So the bureau of fisheries says
fishermen and those', who kill
sharks are losing money when
they fail to make shark' tins part
of their business. Along the Cal
ifornia coast it has been the cus
tom of fishermen and sportsmen
catching sharks to kill them and
turn the carcasses adrift as use
less.
The market-price of the dried
fins of good size is as high as 65
and 7 5 cents per pound, but range
much loker wnen the fins are

carelessly trimmed or cured. In
the Philippines it is the custom
to salt down the fins or powder
with lime before drying.
