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

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.

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.
