j board of fanners' organizations, ask
j ins it to t.ike the matter up with the
proper federal authorities and to dc
; niand th::t stune immediate noMon be
taken tending to the -.;ef of the sit
uation. Concerted action on the part
01 cotton and livestock men, wool
growers and others, in an effort to
remedy existing conditions will be
taken at a meeting of national pro
ducers which will be held in Wash
ington, D. C, October 12-13.
Charles A. Tynan, secretary of the
national board of farmers', organiza
tions at Washington says: "Declines
in farm prices are absolutely un
warranted and justify the position
taken by the Northwest growers. We
have joined in a call for a national
meeting in Washington next Tues
day and Wednesday, when organized
cotton, wheat, ilvestock and wool
men and others will dpmand that
the government take cognizance of
speculators' manipulations and un
fair discriminations in the market
ing of farm products."
As proof of the fact that wheat
farmers cannot sell their crops at
the. new prices without facing serious
losses, if not bankruptcy, it is point
ed out that many growers are pay
ing 40c a sack to have their grain
threshed, 40c to have it hauled and
20c for sacks, making a cash outlay
of $1 after the crop has left the field.

Salem The officials of Klamath
Falls are conscientious and of ster
ling worth, but too fearful of hurt
ing some one's feelings, says a re
port that has been made to A. C.
Barber, state tire marshal, by H. H.
Pomeroy, chief deputy fire marshal,
and G. W. Allen, assistant deputy,
relative to tho fire which destroyed
j the Houston hotel and the lives of
nine or ten persons. Pomeroy and Al
len Investigated the disaster. .
The reports speaks of the lives as
sacrificed "on the altar of careless
ness." It says the mayor "passes the
buck" to the city council and the
council passes it to the people.
The council Is exrorlated for hav
ing thrown a: hie suggested ordin
ances for elimination of fire hazards
submitted by the state Investigators
after a survey about n year ago and
for bavins failed to enact any Blmllar
ordinances.
The survey report was summarily
dismissed by the "placed on file"
route, says the report.
