The congestion in railroad traffic lias forced Iheir use ex tensively to transport tonnage hy auto triu'k. FiKiircH l'l't on the tO-niile-stretch of highway hetween Cleveland and Akron are an index to what is taking place all over the country wherever the advantage of paved roads obtains. The increase in f'n inht traffic has been phenomenal over (he year previous. IJeduccd to car fig ures, the stretch of highway is relieving HS.") freight cars a week to other commodities for more vital tonnage. The proportion of the tonnage transported 1o that of the rail roads was !5!) per cent. "e know what, the Ashlaiid-Cenf nil Point highway has done for this county. It has cut freight and passenger rates for the public and proved it practical utility as well as a source of pleasure to the people. There seems no reason why all the comparatively short hauls and less than carload shipments should not be entirely taken off tho railroads, liberating millions of tons of freight hitherto at the mercy of the railroads. 1 'avert roads will solve tho question of tho development of Oregon whore railroads have failed. They can be financ ed jointly by the state, county and communities and afford the needed outlet for products from isolated regions. They will not only create enhanced values and increase popula tion, but materially lessen tho cost of living. ONLY CLASS ONE 10 BE CALLED ON WASHINGTON, duly 21. With tho callB for increasingly large num bers of draft registrants to fill up training cam s vacated hy regulars, national guard nulls anil tho first tjtiotas of the national army, there is much speculation thruout the coun try as to how soon Class 11 men will ho called for service There need he no inimcdtiito anxi ety on tho pnrt Of these men or their rolatlvos. No call nffcctlng Class II men will he made this year. No call for fighting men will ho made upon Class II inuti in 11119, in all probabil ity. Ill fact, It is tho hope of Provout Marshal (leneral Crowdcr that ho will novcr have to ro outside class I for combatant units, and thero is no present Indication that lie will have to do so. Draft officials hellevo wo will ho able to raise anil maintain an army of 5,1100,1100 men without going Into the deferred classes for fighting troops. Tho figure !, 000, Olio they hollcve Is conservative. Hero Is how thoy figure it: Tho registration under tho orig inal draft law mado available 'in class 1, approximately 3,000, Moo men. Of these, l,ri!l5,70.S had boon ordered to camp prior to July 1, UMS. Culls thru duly and August will inuko the number or aelectlco scrvlco men In camp hy Septemlier 1, moro than 2, ooo. nun. Registration of men who became 21 between Juno f, till? and Juno 5, UMS, added another 1100,000 men to class I, so that on Sept. 1, we will still havo somewhat more than l.r"0. tuallried men In class I who will not havo been called ' to camp. lleforo those men are called to service it Is expected congress will amend tho draft law to provide for tho registration of men between IX and 21 and between SI and 4.I. This extension of the draft, then, would provide it total class I of more than li, ooo. ooil men probably near er 7.000,0011. And until class 1 is exhausted, no calls will be maile upon deferred classes for liny lighting troops. When class I in any district Is ex hausted no more calls will be made upon that district for combatant troops so long as there Is n class I man available In any district any where In the country. For certain luui-combutau! nulls, where men of special training or skill are required, ami such men me not to be found among class 1 regis trants, then and only then are the deferred classes called upon. The number of these specialists taken from deferred classes has been very small. There Is lo be n thoro recomhlng of the deferred classes, and some persons who were granted classifica tions In classes 2 and II may rind themselves reclassified In class l and called to camp.

Whilo tho crops of America and her allies promise this year to break all records for sizo, those of Germany and her allies will he smaller than at any time since the war began. Widespread drought enveloped the central empires during April, May and June, which, combined with In tense heat and an unseasonable frost j during the first fivo days of June. ! stopped tho development of all tho vegetables and roots bo urgently needod by tho Teutons. 1'iMolcies Are llnnnuicil Tho frost destroyed one-third of tho potato crop, especially in tho nor thorn part of tho country. Pens and beans also woro seriously damaged. At tho saino time, tho hent nnd drought Increased tho ravages of all kinds of pestiferous insects, so the crop of applos and pears will bo In- (slgnlflcaut. It also dolayetl the wheat crop anil with tho rail tiro of Itiima nin and tho Lkralno to deliver the expected wheat, Germany is in a bad way. On tho other hand, America's wheat crop will exceod 800,000,000 bushels, if it doesn't reach the billion-bushel mark predicted earlier In tho season. Tho corn crop forecast ed will bo J, 1(10.000,1100 bushels, breaking nil records. Tho oat crop also will bo a hutuper one.

Johbera' prices are required to bo not more than 25 to 50 cents a barrel over tho delivered cost and retailors' prices not more than $1.20 a barrel over his cost price. PrlceB aro given for five varieties of wheat, which are the basic wheats No. 1 (Northern Spring, No. 1 Hard, No. 1 Red Winter, No. 1 Durum, No. 1 Hard White.

Country elevators and buyers are entitled to receive fair compensation for their services in the handling and marketing of wheat, and the charges for such service are necessarily a de duction from the terminal price of wheat. These charges or margins are well established hy custom and vary .in, different sections of' the country according to local conditions. Flour Milling Profit Control The plan for the profit control of flour milling for the 1918 crop is for mulated on the basis of naming a maximum "fair price" at which any miller may sell flour nnd feed. This maximum "fulr price" is based upon a reasonable allowance, above the fair price for basic wheat, for handling, milling and marketing expenses, freight charges on products and profit. It Is anticipated that competition will eventually reflect reductions from these prices. A temporary plan has been pub lished along these lines, which will Te supplemented in the near future by the naming of detailed maximum prices, at which it will he considered fair for each mill of the country to sell its flour and feed. "This plan, as soon as completed, will he given general publicity.

Tho Swiss newspaper conducting an investigation of this report has established beyond question that Udmiard do Hondelli tiled In Geneva early In 1010.
