PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 28. The
United States district attorney to
day was asked to investigate local
commission houses, to ascertain
whether nny combination to restraint
trade exists, when it became known
that 54,000 pounds of food had been
burned in the city incinerator in tue
last ten days.
When told of tho alleged wanton
waste of food (o keep up prices,
Mayor Rushlight said he would take
what steps he could to end tho prne-
tico nnd that ho would strongly favor
n public market. ,
According to men employed nt the
incinerator, thousands of pounds cf
food has been offered by various
commission men for burning thut
was without taint. All kinds nnd va
rieties of foodstuffs from fruits to
vegetables were included.
It is asserted that tho commission,
houses agreed on n certain sales

provisions nro not purchased at (hat
price, (he goods aro either hauled

KLAMATH FALLS, Sept. 28. If
Jackson county's proposed bond is
sue of $1,500,000 for the building
of good roads, fails on Saturday
next, this city will be the objective
point of the great trunk highway tc
be constructed through the state of
California. If Jackson county pass
es the bond issue the road -will erow
the Siskiyous to join the 'maM high
way to be constructed in thVRoftfe
River valley.
This is the word brought back by
the committee of business men who
have just returned from a visit to
Sacramento, where they went in an
effort to seenre the highway. Wheth
er Klamath Falls will bo tho objec
tive point or not depends upon Jack
son county.
The committee called attention to
the fact that if the highway passed
through Klamath Palls, Crater Lake
could easily be reached from the
highway.

Judging from (ho foregoing dis
