Portland, Ore., July 30. The Na tional Fuel Administration has taken over the work of the Federal Trada Commission as it relates to coal and coke, under an executive order made by President Wilson, according to advices just received by Fuel Admin- J istrator Homes of Oregon. This step jwill give the Fuel Administration wider powers in dealing with the impending eoal shortage which ab- ! normal war demands are creating lu the face of the largest bituminous . production In the nation's history. ! Under the new arrangement, fuel dealers and distributors will be re- : quired to furnish full information concerning their business to the i Fuel Administrator whenever he re gion of the Fuel Administration will handle the work surrendered by the ! Federal Trade Commission. ! Portland, Ore., July 30. Fuel Ad ministrator Homes has received num erous complaints from various parts of the state to the effect that coal 1 and wood dealers are declining to make deliveries. As a result there j has arisen in some quarters rumors ! that the dealers are storing their fuel until a later period to secure higher prices. The rumor, according to Holmes, has absolutely no basis in fact. In i this connection Holmes' investiga- i tions have led him to believe that dealers and their clerks are in num erous cases responsible for mis understandings and the consequent crop of false reports as to the fuel situation. "I have learned," said Holmes, "of numerous instances where deal ers and their clerks have refused to make deliveries because they were swamped with orders. But in re fusing they have failed to explain to ratrons why they could not promise fuel promptly. As a result idle rumor has had a c;;ance to .-spread false reports. "Dealers can help niach by telling consumers what to exooei and why. Then patrons will understand why deliveries are delayed and won't tret unnecessarily. "As for any raise in prices none can be made unless the Fuel Ad ministration permits- it and the Ad ministration will not allow any in creases save those which will give dealers a fair profit. "Deliveiies are now being made as rapidly as possible. Due to the big rush of early orders, quite na turally, the dealers cannot fill all at $1795 Supplying' The Kind of Transportation You Need ABOUT one-half the capacity of the Chandler Motor Car Company plant is devoted to work vvhich will help win the war on the battlefields of France.

I While in lonu the last of the week ; County Clerk Waters made a ri:;h ; to the section recently, struck by hail and reports that it is certainly a barren waste now. Several of the ' most premising wheat fields of that end of the county were wiped off ths face of the earth and what promised but a few moments before the storm struck to be an abundant return in I money to the owners, faded away lr. a twinkling and left a number of people in had circumstances. It was indeed fortunate that the area cover- : ed by the storm was small for Its work of destruction was complete. Walter Becket was in town Sun day looking for a hand to help him on the little combine. He has been borrowing from his neighbors during the past week and managed to get some threshing done but it is now up to him to get a man of his own. His grain is going about 15 bushels to the acre so far, and he is of the opinion that the most of his grain will not exceed this yield. The wheat is of fine quality, however and the little machine is doing excellent work, this being the second season he has run the small combine. by tlih T. Alii paper this week from Dr. II. T.
