Robinson's Dlomestic Laundry WHERE VOI R LAUNDRY IS ALW AYS DONE VP RIGHT. EXPORTERS II IS I FARMERS W. H. Reed, a member of the Wash ington state grain commission, be lieves the Washington Millers' associa tion and the exporters of the north west have combined against the wheat gTowers. Mr. Reed Is the man who Introduced bluestem wheat Into the northwest, and has, for years, taken a lively Interest In the deevlopment of the cereal Industry. In an Interview with the Post-Intelligencer of Seattle, upon the mill-exporters' combine, and also upon the probability of the farm ers combining for protection, he said: "When the commission gave out to the public that agreement of the millers-exporters' combine, which bound each member not to compete In buy ing grain, to keep the buying price down, they practically told the farm ers that there was a conspiracy on hand which the farmers had to fight a conspiracy to pay them less than their grain was worth; and to charge them more for smutting than they were fairly entitled to receive. Fanners Must Fight. ' "The farmers can and will fight that conspiracy, and they are going to defeat It. How? Meet the buyers' combine with a sellers' combine. The farmers will make numerous com bines; bunch up all over eastern Washington, Oregon and northern Idaho, and make their offers In cargo lots. They will offer these cargo lots to the combine and to buyers not In the combine, and while they are out gunning they should kill two birds each shot by saying when offering their cargo lots: 'The smutty part not to be discounted over 4 cents a bushel; no part to be sold unless the smutty grain goes at that discount.' That'll do the Job. "The commission proved the injus tice of the combine's '5 to 20-cent" dis count on smutty wheat by citing the discount prevailing In Minneapolis of but 2 cents a bushel. Let me read you a letter, giving smutty wheat dis count from the Northwestern Consol idated Milling company of Minneapo lis. It says: 'It would require dock age from two to three pounds for washing badly smutted wheat, and wheat not very bad would require about one pound for scouring.' "With such proof of the right of the farmers' attitude In refusing to allow the combine more than 4 cents dis count twice what Minneapolis would make they can push their cargo combines to a winning, sure. Do you know what that would mean to the farmers in dollars and cents? s Have Grower f 192,009 TbS Year. ' "The crop this year in eastern Washington alone is estimated at 32, 000,000 bushels. The state inspection department figures that 20 per cent of that crop Is Bmutty that would give 8,400,000 bushels of smutty wheat, lne combines discount is, asi Indeed, probable, to come on heavier testing wheat, the 60, 61, 62 and 63 pound wheat, which Is now confis cated at a No. 1 price. The commis sion's decisions snowed that the 60- pound tost wheat was worth more than a 68 or 69-pound test. It show ed this by that admission of the Port land chamber of commerce commit tee, and by the extract on prices from the millers' association secret com pact. "San Francisco is paying more for 60-pound test wheat than for a 68 pound test. San Francisco needs from Washington, Oregon and Idaho this year 10,000,000 bushels of heavy test ing wheat. "Let the farmers' combine offer their heavy test wheat to San Fran cisco buyers. They won't have to make many such offers. The millers- exporters' combine will promptly come to time, and.pay the additional price that heavy testing wheat Is worth. The farmer Is entitled to It let him get his own. He can win Just as sure as I did when I introduced bluestem wheat In this state. The original seed came from Australia. Dem.eH brothers brought it to AValla Walla. I sowed 560, acres in It and advertised the crop for seed. Sold It all for seed but one carload, which 1 refused to sell because all the millers and exporters said It was worth more than club. "I sent my reserve car to the Sperry Bros. Milling Company at San Fran cisco, and they wrote me: 'Our price now, and hereafter, for such wheat is 6 cents a hundred pounds over the price of No. 1 California shipping.' That was 3 cents a bushel over club price. I published that letter, and from that date. 18 years ago. to this, bluestem has brought that premium over club everywhere from every body. That one piece of work of mine made the farmers of this state, in this year alone. $240,000. Don't you see the application? It's directly to the point. It, by demonstration, makes plain that when the farmers' combines find one buyer who will pay more than the millers-exporters' combine, they will have then and there started the disintegration of that combine." composed of cockle seed, buckwheat and the small grains of wheat that go through the sieves of the machines. These screenings are supposed to be burned under the Canadian laws, but may be brought out for feed. The sheep readily eat this and become fat In a short time. Before turning them on the market the sheep are clipped. Mr. Donohue has contracted his wool for 27 cents a pound In Chicago, which insures him a handsome profit. In speaking of the markets Mr. Donohue said: "Unlike this section, the meat Is all handled through the meat trusts. Independent butchers and packers are unknown. Every sheep Is slaughtered in the trust's plants and the profit shaved off before reaching the retailer. There are a number of smaller packing plants run ning under separate names from the big plants, but these are owned bodily by the trusts." La Grande Observer. AFTER THE BOOTLEGGERS. Federal Authorities Will Check Whis key Peddling at Y'aklma. Four of the bootleggers caught last Sunday selling liquor to Indians were placed under arrest this morning by Deputy United States Marshal Short on the charge of carrying on the business of retail liquor dealers without paying the special United States revenue tax as provided by law, says the Yakima Republic. The cases are of a great deal of 'm- said. 6 to 20 cents. Call It an average portance to thlg section of the state. of 7 cents. At 4 cents there would be a saving of 3 cents a bushel, and of 1192,000 on this one crop. "The saving these decisions make directly for Qie farmer, without neces sitating any subsequent effort by him, when It refused to classify 68. 68 1-2 and 68 3-4 test wheat as No. 2. 1 figure at 1160,000 for this year alone. Figuring that one-quarter of the whole crop would test, on an average, from 58 to 58 3-4, and the price difference is 2 cents a bushel between No. 1 and No. 2 grades.

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., Atlanta, 6a. as It seems to be the only satisfactory way of handling the Indian liquor question. Since the supreme court's decision that allotment Indians are citizens, thus giving them the right to buy whiskey and alcohol when they wish, there has been a great deal of talk over the matter. The decision of the city council to revoke the license of any saloonkeep er caught selling liquor to the red skins has only settled the question In part. The great trouble has been that the Illegal liquor traffic has been car ried on by outsiders and the Indians have been able to obtain as much whiskey as they wished in this way. a It Is agreed by many people that If an example Is made of these men !

"We nre prepared to substantiate with reliable evidence the charge made by us to the Interstate com merce commission that the Northern Pacific and Burlington railroads per mit the packing house combine to dic tate the rates on live hogs from Mis souri river points to Seattle, and that the rates are discriminatory against ourselves as Seattle packers of hog products," said Charles H. Frye, pres ident of the Frye-Bruhn company yes terday afternoon to the Seattle News. The Frye-Bruhn company has re cently made sensational charges against the two roads mentioned In which they accuse the roads of re fusing, In the Interests of the pack ing house combine, to make fair rates on live hogs to the Pacific northwest, although such rates are made by the southern transcontinental roads from Missouri river points to California terminals where firms belonging to the combine have packing houses. "Before the railroad mprgor and be fore the perfection of the packers' combine the roads gave up living rates on live hogs from the Missouri river," said Mr. Frye, "but since the merger and the combine has dictated the rates to the roads, and the result has been to discriminate against the operation of pncklng houses on the Pacific coast. Unjust Discrimination. "Hogs nre shipped to the best ad vantage In double deck cars. The roads make rates on live hogs based on a car capacity of 60,000 pounds, while as a matter of fact with but one floor only 16,000 pounds of hogr can be loaded In a car. By charging us what Is practically a double decked car rate for a single decked carload of hogs the eastern packers have rates on the manufactured products which are much lower than our rates on live animals and nre therefore nble to undersell us here. The natural re sult of this competition Is to drive all the packing house business to the centers selected by the members of of the railroads In refusing to make rates for double decked cars west bound. Nino months of tho year there Is plenty of traffic east bound for the same cars in the ship ment of sheep. With this traffic matching the traffic in hogs westbound the cars can be loaded in both direc tions. Rates on Stock Car. "In 1897 tho Northern Pacific and tho Burlington made a rate from Mis souri river points to Seattle via Bil lings on hogs of $261 per double decked 36-foot car. Last year this rate was withdrawn and the companies refused to reinstate It, and even re fused to make any rate on double decked carloads on hogs. For four days' In August, 1904, the roads made a rate ot $240 from Omaha to Seattle on a double decked carload, but this rate was withdrawn and has not since been made. The existing rate per single decked car Is $170. We claim that we are entitled to a rate of $226 per double decked 36-foot car and that any rate In excess of that Is discriminatory in favor of the east ern packers." 1 "There Is no excuse for the action Full of Tragic Meaning are these line from J.
