WASIIfNflTON, May 5. Prevail
int; retail prices of anlhrncilo coal
me unwarranted unil the mnily fur
next sciiKim is ndccpintc, federal
trade commission staled today in a
preliminary report bused on a partly
completed investigation ordered liy
eontrress last winter. The eoinniis-
moii warns consumers against liuvinir
larirer quantities of eoal than usual
this summer, xayini? there are xymp
toiiiH now of such a' buying punie
as that which enabled speculators last
winter to force prices above normal.
No Rood reason exists, says the re
port, why Slay prices should not be
subject to the usual summer discount.
'J'he commission is keeping in close
touch with the anthracite siliiutinu
and promises to expose "any unscru
pulous wholesaler, jobber or retailer
who seeks to mislead the public into
a belief that exorbitant prices arc
justifiable."
The united, mine workers' new wui;c
schedule w hich went, into el feci lasl
week, increases production cost be
tween 1M anil .'III cents a Ion, says
the commission. Leading operators'
prices at the mine for May provide
for Ibis waste increase and "there is
no justification for a larger increase
lo be passed on to the consumer."
'fbe nommissiou's report Recom
mends action by congress or some
authority to be designated by con
gress on the following:
"First, the elimination of the cle
ment of speculation ami the charging
of an exorbitant price or withholding
from use of this necessity of life:
and, second, the imperative need of
keeping coal moving and of prevent
ing coal cars from being held out
of use for the purpose of speculative
storage."
ESPIONAGE BILL
V,SIIIN(iTiN. Mj- .-..--The
hou-e espionage bill, with ils modi lied
censorship feature, following ils pas
sage yeslcrilav by a vote of 'Jlill to

a similar measure was under consid
eration. The mollified cciisor-diip provision
was adopted by the house by a vole
of 111(1 (o IS." after it bad voted down
ilL'll to 1 07 the entire adiuini'.l ration
censorship section. This action wa--tnken
despite reports ihut I'rcMilcul
Wilson had sent word thul the au
thority sought was "wholutelv nec
essary." Opponents of censorship
are threatening to carrv their t'u:ht
lo conference. The mall ceusorslii),
section of the espionage bill was tak
en up in the senate today.
Senate leaders have abandoned

Tho cost of protecting orchards
against frost Is made up of two main
Items: Kipilpmont for protection,
and fuel and labor on frosty nights.
Tho small amount of Information al
ready collected by tho weather bureau
Indicates that the equipment costs re
sult In an annual charge against the
cost of raising fruit which Is some
times as largo as the cost of fighting
frost on cold nigtits.
Tho cost of carrying frost fighting
equipment Is somewhat hard to deter
mine, but It Is so Important that the
weather bureau has prepared a cost
sheet which Is being used In Itoguc
lltver valley this season for the first
time. This sheet ban been sent to
each orcbardlst on record at the local
office of the weather bureau as pro
viding tor frost righting. II Is scarce
ly posslblo that all have been reached
by this method.
Mr. Heed of the division of agricul
tural meteorology, who is conducting
this work here is anxious to have the
record as complete as possible. Ho
says he will bo glad to tall; with any
orchnrdlst regarding this problem.
Tho letter seal orchat .'.Ists Is as fol
lows: "As a basis for computing the fixed
charges of orchard heating it is de
sirable to have as complete state
ments as posslblo of equipment costs.
For this reason the Inclosed form has
been prepared. The weather bureau
will bo glad to have you fill out such
of tho blanks as you aro able without
too much trouble, and return the
sheet at your convenience In tho en
closed envelope which requires no
postage. The replies will bo used In
such a manner that tho costs of
equipment or heating cannot be de
termined for Individual orchard from
the results, and no data for individ
ual orchards will lie published.
"I'nder coss, II is desired to know,
if possible, Hie piico tit fuel and of
heaters at the railroad, and also the
cost delivered to tho orchard: the
blank has been prepared with this in
view. Under small equipment, such
items as torches should bo Included.
Distributing equipment Includes tank
wagons, etc. Insuranro should In
clude tho additional cost if Insuring!
buildings, on account of the prox
imity of largo amounts of oil, as well
as the Insurance on the oil and the
oil tank.
"Interest nnd depreciation will be
calculated by the weather bureau, but
It Is desired to have estimated of the
probablo life of the different Items ot
equipment, so that proper deprecia
tion may be charged."

Thursday was attended by fully 1, ")()(.
people from all parts of the county.
I he Medford people who attended, in
chiding u large number of business
men. all report that the occasion was
a very enjoyable one and are loud
in their praises of Kagle Point hospi
tality. The Ashland band furnished
music fur the occasion. Addresses
were made by Mayor ('. K. (bites of
Medford, County School Superintend
ent Ager, County Pathologist C. C.
Cute and School Supervisor E. If.
Peterson. The chief speech of the
day was delivered by M. R. Pittnian,
head of the rural department of the
State Noi:mn school.
A welcome feature of the day was
the expedition with which the many
athletic eonteMs and games were run
off. V. O. Wheeler, chairman of the
committee in charge, was mainly re
sponsible for this, ubly assisted by
the local committee, which was com
posed of Frank Mronn, William Von
der llellen, Ilav Ashpnle, William
Perry, W. C. Clements, .1. V. MHn
t.yre, Mrs, William Itrown and Mrs.
Carl NuiTcnan. There was no delay
whatever between contests and games

with snap.
The day's celebration ended with a
dance in the evening to which 3 10
tickets were sold.
WASIIIXCTOX, May .V-Confcr-ees
on the war army selective draft
bill again today sought to iron out
difficult ies bet ween the houe and
senate. Work on the measure was
postponed fre.in yesterday because of
the necessity of conferees nspondiiiy
to frequent roll calls in both houses
on espionage bills.
The chief point of difference is
over the aire limit, the senate fixing
at L't to 27 and the bouse '21 to 41).
The conferees hoped to reach an
agreement today in order that the
bill may be laid before President Wil
son for his approval the first of the
week.
