B, Barratt sheepman by profession and highway commissioner In his hours of ease, arrived at the Imperial yesterday to assist in awarding road contracts. "We had a splendid yield," observed Mr. Barratt, speaking for his own sheep, "and there were sheep we got 19 pounds of wool from. Of course, that wasn't the average, but we had many sheep which registered that amount. I re fused 18 cents for my wool they were offering 20 cents a pound for wool at Condon a few days ago " Mr. Bar ratt laments that the old-timers who sheared 175 sheep a day by hand are no more. Mr. Barratt hasn't sheared with machinery for several years. There Is too much wear and tear on the sheep, so he prefers the slower hut more care ful method of manual -toll. The young chaps these days prefer the clipping machine to doing the Job by hand. O gonian. Many Idle Mm at Spokaae. We aro in receipt of a letter this week from Jos. W.

WOOL MARKET QUIET Aside from some few purchases of wool made by W. W. Smearl, and aggre gntinff about 80,000 pounds, the wool clip of Morrow county has not been moving very rapidly. He represents a well known Boston firm and is after fine wools principally, his price rang ing from 17 to 18 cents. The past few days the market seems to have strengthened slightly but yet the de mand is not strong, and tb,e best qual ity fleeces will bring around twenty cents.

Mr. Brown expects to establish camp at Coal Camp on the head of Lit tle Butter creek and will soon have fence posts ready for market. The forest service has a large supply of ex lellent post timber at. this point and Mr Brown expects to make additional purchases as more timber Is needed. J. D. French of Gurdane and Phil Uigglns of Lena, representing the Five Mile Cattle association were In the for est Inspecting that part of the Five Mile drift fence that has been comple ted. W. S. Casteel, forest guard at Ditch creek, accompanied by Mrs Casteel made a recent trip to Albee for mail and supplies. They patroled stock driveway both going and returning., All ranger stations are now being provi sioned In readiness for the fire season. Severe freezes have recently reduced the prospective huckleberry crop. In some places, notably in the vicinity of the Jones prairies, so severe was the freeze that the halfgrown leaves have turned brown and are falling off. A few places are reported to have escaped the freese. The trail sheep to the number of about 100,000 are now entering the Gur dane district of the Uuatilla forest en route to summer range In this district and in other parts of the mountains All of the sheep are in much better con dition than for several seasons and the lamb crop is unusually large. Many sheepmen place the estimate for Uma tilla and Morrow counties at 120 per cent. Last season's crop was estimated at 75 to 80 per cent Very few new names are noticed on the crossing permits. The old familiar names and faces are coming along tn regular order, indicating that the great majority of sheep outfits of Morrow and Umatilla counties are able to weather the present financial Btorm. Every forest officer is now In the sad dle early, long and late patroling drive ways. Issuing crossing permits and at tending to the general stock driveway business. Also acting as a bureau of information, endeavoring to answer: "How far is It to T' "How do we go from here." "Is there horse feed at 7" "Can't you give me some grass for my sheep?" "Have ye seen any thing of the bean-heaver.." Mr. Alf Gentry has been engaged to snlt the cattle on the Five Mile Cattle range. Ranger Woods has been assist ing him to become acquainted with the range and together they have been working out salting and grazing plans for the season. About one-thousand seven-hundred head of cattle and near ly a hundred head of horses have been allotted to the Five Mile range. Of special Interest to the ladies and to cooks In general is a report from one of the Five Mile construction camps. According to the report It fell to the lot of the mule-sklnner to build the breakfast blBcults. As he measured out the Ingredients with a swift and accurate hand, the mule skinner Informed the hungry ones that his accomplishments were not confined to the fine art of mule-whacking but that on divers occasions he had con structed biscuits that had been eaten with more or less gusto by hungry men and boys. And now If they would Just stand back so as to keep their eye sight clear and not get dough bespattered they would have an opportunity of oh serving an accomplished biscuit builder In action. It is further reported that when the oven door was opened for an Inspection of the finished product the biscuits were so light and fluffy that they arose from the oven, like a flock of pigeons from a barn, and wont soar ing In the air. The boas Immediately ordered that each man In camp be sup plied with a butterfly, or biscuit net In hopes of keeping down the soaring cost of high living. Dead Commander of Legion Leaves Patriotic Message New York, June 13. A few days be fore his death in an automobile acci dent at Indianapolis, F. W. Galbraith Jr., commander of the American Legion, dictated a statement calling attention of the public to the fact that tomor row will be "Flag day, when the people will," as he worded It "pledge again their love for their flag and their firm purpose to serve It" The message said: "Flags are like people; they are full of personality, endowed with charac teristics, traditions and faults. "These qualities flags borrow from the nations they represent the peo ples over whom they wave. "Our flag was born when the nation was an infant The breeze that first rippled its starry folds brought whis perings of troubled events, violence and bloodshed. But our flag lives on, to see the nation live, grow and prosper. Our flag has been ca:l Into many battles, but never on the elde of con quest. It has known grave dangers, but never has been sullied by a national shame. "This flag that ripples In the wind today Is worthy of our reverences, be cause we of this nation have striven and always must strive to keep bur' Ideals lofty. Today we will pledge again our love for our flag and our Arm purpose to serve It Our pledge, made today and acted every day, will keep the Stars and Stripes glorious." IKES PRODUCER LOSE Mrs. W. P.

Take for example pork, mutton, beef, cereals, butter, eggs, wool and cotton tins price of which to the producer is in most instances less than the pre-war period. Why then has there not occurred a corresponding reduction in price to the consumer? There is but one reason and answer between the producer and consumer there are too many middlemen, too many rehandlings, with cost for each rehandllng and profits for each rehand ter pyramided and added into the price to the consumer. The situation Is further aggravated by the increase in price made by each dealer as the commodity passes from one to another on its circuitous pilgrim age to the consumer the cost and pro fits assessed in each Instance usually being excessive. Of the price paid by consumers but a small part goes to the producer. Most of the cost on the article is gob bled up by commission men, brokers, Jobbers, wholesalers, peddlers and what nots. Brokers, commission dealers and Job bers, to cover their trail, attempt to i hlnmA it on rnilronH rnfea But on an orange, lemon, head of let Is New Chef at Hotel Patrick. rtuce, pound of pork, beef, mutton, as J.

Condon Globe-Times. Father of Lexington Woman Dies at Missouri Home Through the courtesy of a friend at Lexington, the following, taken from the Free Press, published at Marions- . ville, Missouri, U sent us for publica tion: M- L. Hendrix, an old citizen of this section, passed away very suddenly ear ly Monday morning, June 6th, aged 72 years, 3 months and 26 days. Ha arose early, ate a hearty break fast mentioned that he waa feeling un usually well, and started out to milk and fell dead. He was twice married. His first mar riage waa to Miss Anna Wallace on January 26, 1873. Four children were born to this union. Mr a Tempa Jonn Bon, of Lexington, Ore., Marcus and Ki lls Hendrix of Astoria, Oregon and Mrs. Josie Strauteldt who resides here. His wife died June t, UH. In June, liul. he married Mrs, Chrislena Koenig. To this union two children were born Clarence and Henry Lee, who reside at the home. The funeral waa held at Mt Olive church Wednesday afternoon. Burial was made in Marionsville cemetery, be side his former wife. City Water Teats Pure. On June 9th, Water ComclsBloner Pruyn took samples from the water in the city mains and forwarded them to the State Board of Health for analysis, and Tuesday evening he received their report Bhowlng bacteria per c. c. 5, B. Coll per 100 c. c. 0. The report indi cates that the water Is pure and con tains no Injurious properties below the chlorinating plant. The report states that water containing more than 100 bacteria per c. c. or more than 2 B. Coll per 100 c c. Is unfit to drink. Relief Shipments Will Be Carried Free. We are authorized to state by Mr. Chester Dnrbee, local station agent that the railroad and express compan ies will forward all shipments for the relief of the Tueblo sufferers free of charge. This applies to all such sh!p meats whether sent to the Red Cross or to other relief agencies. Billy Duncan, Chot Parcell, Gus Hale and W. L. Hadley leave In the morn ing for the Sweetgrass hills of Mon tana, where they have aout 20,000 head of sheep to shear. With Ed Stevenson and one or two others they formed the hamishearing crew that has been working out about 20,000 head of Mor row county sheep, having Just finished with the Stephens sheep out near Hard man, Many sheepmen In this section prefer the handshearers to the mach ines, especially with their stock sheep. the boys hnve had a pretty good run this season and found the sheep much cleaner than Is usual. spread In the price between producer and consumer makes it very clear that the cause of low prices to the producer and high to the consumer is not the freight rates. Instance the retail price of these commodities In Pacific coast markets right where they are grown and on much of which there is no rail haul and therefore no freight charge by the rail roads as compared with the retail price in Chicago and New Tork after a rail haul of several thousand miles. Strange Isn't it that the price is the same. In other words a "sun-kissed" California orange retails at five cents in New York after a rail haul of four thousand miles. There remains no doubt that failure to adjust and coordinate our merchan dising system, resulting in too many rehandlings, excessive and unnecessary costs and profits, with consequent pyr amided cost to the consumer, is large ly responsible for inability of producers to sell at a fair margin of profit as well as for the Inability of consumers to buy at a fair price. Of course industrial depression inci dent to war hivs lessened greatly the common buying power of the people, a result bound to adversely affect pro ducers regardless of costs or prices, but the great trouble Is too many mid dlemen and too much profiteering. When Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Farrens left lone to come to Portland and register at the Imperial they just missed one of the best ball games the town has seen In ages.

KETING FINANCE PLAN At the meeting In Washington In April of the state Farm Bureau presi dents a great deal of time was given to the development of a national sys tem of financing co-operative market ing organization in co-operation with the existing banking agencies and the Federal Reserve banks. There are at present nearly one hundred co-operative marketing organizations which have been more or less promoted by the Farm Bureau movement and which would be benefited by such a financial plan. In trying to work-out such a plan I meeting was held with the Federal Re serve board at which It was developed that the profits of the Federal Reserve banking system might be made avail able for this purpose. The figures glv en below are given as official and re c.iire no comment Total capital of Federal Reserve banks of the United States, $94,234,000. After paying the running expenses the board set aside surpluses for each diS' trict and paid dividends of net profits as shown by the following table: Dlvl- Surplus Total dends cfQ Earning a 1.

The total expense of operating these twelve in stitutions being J29.SS9.307. During hard times our Uncle Sam seems a pretty fair business man after all ns the average profits of the New York private banks was only about 37 per cent. We think that we know of some country banks that did not do as good a business as Uncle Sam last year. The rlan of the National Farm Bur cau was that this profit or $100,000,000 of It be taken as the basis to finance the Agricultural Marketing association This plan was approved by Hoover and Wallace and a number of other prom inent officials. Morgnn and Company have offered to furnish one half of this amount If this plan can be side-tracked so that the Federal Reserve bank Is left free from this class of marketing fl nance. In working out this plan the national meeting of the Farm Bureau presidents has touched a live Issue and our Ore- iron presidents assisted verv materially Tt wilt bear some careful consideration In the meantime until the price of wheat raises materially, we would advise any farmer having an opportunity, to trade his farm for a U. S. Federal Reserve bank. L. A. HUNT, County Agent. SHEEP RANCH FOR- KENT.
