DYE INDUSTRY GROWS
Government Report Shows Re
markable Progress Made.
One Hundred and Ninety American
Firm New Make Dye
and Drug.
Washington. The remarkable suc
cess of the American chemists and
chemical manufacturers in developing
the dyestuffs indnstry, when the anp
piles of dyes from Germany were cut
off, is strikingly shown in a report
just Issued by the United States tariff
commission entitled, "Census of Dyes
and Coal-Tar Chemicals, 1917."
At the outbreak of the European
war, Germany dominated the world's
trade in dyes and drugs derived from
cool-tar. Before the war, seven Amer
ican firms manufactured dyes from
imported German materials. In 1917,
100 American concerns were engaged
in the manufacture of dyes, drugs and
other chemicals derived from coal-tar,
.Vid of this number, 81 firms produced
al-tar dyes trom American materials
nvhich were approximately equivalent
In total weight to the annual Imports
before the war. The total output of
the 190 firms, exclusive of those en
gaged In the manufacture of explo-
elves and synthetic resins, was over
54.000,000 pounds with a value of
about $69,000,000.
Large amaunts of the staple dyes
for which there is a great demand are
now being manufactured In the United
States. A few of the Important dyes,
such as the vat dyes derived from ate
arin, anthracene, and carbazol, are
still not made. The needs of the wool
industry are being more satisfactorily
met thun the needs of the cotton in
dustry.
The report gives in detail the names
of the manufacturers of each dje or
other product and the qunntlty and
value of each produced, except in
cases where the number of producers
is so small that the operations of in
dividual firms would be disclosed
Seventeen hundred and thirty-three
chemists or engineers were engaged
In research nnd chemical control of
this new Industry, or 8.8 per cent of
the total of 19,04.1 employers. The
report also contains an Interesting ac
count of the history nnd development
'flf"tin!"lndutry since the outbreak of
the European war.
PRICE OF WHEAT NEXT YEAR
A question that is puzzling many
wheat growers in the Inland Em
pire is what the price of wheat will
be in 1919.
While it is generally understood
that President Wilson has already
fixed the price for the 1919 crop at
$2.20 per bushel there are those
who question whether that price can
be maintained in view of the faot
that the sudden ending of the war
has released shipping to such an ex
tent that a considerable movement
of wheat may be expected from Aus
tralia within a short time.
Australia has been unable to mar
ket her wheat for three years be
cause of a lack of shipping and the
submarine menace, and it is said
that country will be glad to lay clown
cargoes of wheat in this country for
$1.00 per bushel. If this statement
is true and if the price of $2.20 is to
be maintained for American -wheat
there is going to be a heavy loss
ahead for somebody, and the ques
tin that most interests Morrow coun
ty wheat growers is it going to be
himself or the American consumer
that will get squeezed. No matter
which way the cat jumps it is going
to work a mighty big hardship on
somebody. The wheat grower has
put in the present crop at a heavy ex
pense for seed and labor and if the
protection promised him, by the gov
ernment should be withdrawn he will
suffer a heavy loss. On the other
hand, if the price is maintained and
the cheap wheat barred from the
market the consumer is bound to
suffer, particularly if wages should
come down, as seems likely.
One way out of the difficulty that
has been pointed out is for the gov
ernment to take over the entire crop
next year at the price already fired
by the president and then put it on
the market in competition with the
wheat of the world selling at the
price established by an open market.
In this way the government would
make good its pledge to the farmer
and at the same time would give the
consumer a square deal. The loss
would be absorbed by the nation as
a whole as one of the costs of war.
HERALD CHANGES PUBLICATION DAY
With this issue of the Herald the day of publica
tion is changed from Friday to Tuesday, the pub-
lisher believing that such a change will enable him
to do his part in giving the town and county a bet
ter newspaper service than was possible under the
former plan. ,
With two papers publishced in Heppner, one
on Thursday and the other on Friday, the service of
neither was what it should have been either in the
news or advertising way too much service at one
end of the week and too little at the other.
News originating on Saturday, Sunday or
Monday was pretty old by the time either paper got
it in print under the old regime, and by the same
token there was not much in the way of news that
happenecd or could happen, ordinarily, between
Thursday and Friday. The Herald believes that
this effort on its part to give the public an improv
ed service will be appreciated because, as a matter
of fact, service is about all that any of us appreciate
in these days of efficiency and hustle.
Another reason for making the change is that
we can give our readers in the country districts
who get their mail by star routes and rural deliv
ery a very much improved service. For example,
' when we printed on Friday our subscribers in the
Butter creek country, at Lena and Pine City, who
receive their mail by rural delivery from Echo, did
not receive their papers until the following Tues
day. Under the new plan the paper printed on -Tuesday
will reach them on Thursday of the same
week.
Hoping that the new plan will meet with the .
approval of our patrons and that the Herald may
be able to continue to serve their newspaper wants
with constantly improved efficiency.
Respectfully,
S.-A. PATTISON, Publisher.

The necessity for hast.! made It Im
possible for the men to carry much

was found that the bnaobiill psrnuher

Carry Full Equipment of Modern Hos
pital Strike Tents at Hour's No
tice and Move Forward With
Precision of Circus. i
Paris. The methods of the old-time
American circus that enabled hun
dreds of thousands of yoimi; and old
to enjoy themselves have been con
scrip! ed and put to war service on tho
western front. Hut instead of being
used for amusement, the circuses nro
aiding in the saving of human life.
The American Red Cross bought tho
huge tents belonging to Ringling
Ilrothers and shipped them to France,
where they are now with the Ameri
can army. They no longer shelter a
menagerie, acrobats and clowns, but
house hundreds of cots, wounded sol
diers and Red Cross nurses.
All that reminds one of tho circus
days of old are the methods and or
ganization of the people connected
with this tent city. For they, like tho
circus people at home, are here today
nnd gone tomorrow. And every vestlgo
of their equipment fN gone with them.
On nn hour's notice they strike their
tents, und within twenty-four hours
they are putting them up again prob
ahly twenty miles away. The person
nel are all army men, hut theirs Is a
nomad's life. They have no base, no
definite locution. They simply follow
the fighting. They may cover tho en
tire American front within three
months.
Carry Completa Equipment.
Their equipment and methods tire
Interesting. They carry every sort of
sanitary, surgical and electrical plmru
phernalla to be found In the most mod
ern of hospitals. They have X-ray
outfits, sterilizing outfits, radiator
wllh steam beat, soverul operating ta
bles with full equipment, electric light
plant mid iiccommodalloiis for the
care of more thun two hundred and
flfly wounded und till wllh a person
nel of less than one hundred men uud
women.
Put where they have the advantage
over the modern circuses Is that lliey
supply their own triiiisiorlutlon. Thre
huge motor! nn ks lire (lie keystone of
the oiillll. line is used as a sterilizing
machine and eleclrlc Hrht plant. Au-
