WOOL NOW AT HIGH AVERAGE BOHTON SENDS OUT FA I It HE REPORT O.N CONDITIONS OF Till: MARKET TARIFF CAUSES CHANGE High Valuation Abttoluleljr Dermis l'H)n the Market Abroad FuNtern Itcport Haya lk?ilors And Growera Can't Agree While It la far from the Intention of the Examiner to encourage wool growera to sell their product tor any price under the highest possible market value of the commodity, yet natural and general conditions con trol the situation, and on the other hand we thijk It a mistake for growera to demand unreasonable prices. The following special dis patch, under date of .March 26. from lloston to the San Francisco Chronl- It-, i,' Ives, we believe, an accurate account of the wool situation from a fair and unbiased standpoint. It Is said that the high prices re cently reported on the wool business In the West are the top level since 1SU7. on the average. This compli cates the local situation, as dealera already had found values too high for tin !r purposes here. The only alternative for them, under the cir cumstances is to raise their prlcea and much resistance is due from manufacturers, who are having their troubles. This leaves but one hope for de-ilers the maintenance indefi nitely of the Ktrength of wool In Lon don. Full appreciation of the alg nlncance of the recent high prices In the West may be had when it ia considered thut former prices were under n duty of U cents per pound on foreign wool. Without this prelection growera are said re cently to have secured the highest nrlces for seventeen years. In fact a case Is cited of a clip being sold this year at 17 cents, upon which an of fer of 14 Mi centa was withdrawn In 1813 at shearing time. Other bids of that year for thla clip were around 12 Mi centa and it ultimately was con Bigned to the market, for selling by a dealer. Growers are demanding so much In some places that buyers have been compelled to withdraw. Matttrj have come to such a paaa that dealera are wondering whether it would not be best to draw off from contracting. The present price trend raiae the average cost of all their is steadily upward and they stand to purchases, by continuing to contract. The quotations made heretofore hardly represent the strength of the situation. All thla brings us back to the fact that nothing but continued flrm nesa abroad can Justify the situa tion. Dealers will not he able to turn ! over these, later bought wools except by advancing prices even beyond the recent local increases, which would loliiT them un against a snag in the event of any weakening in foreign wools.

Though in the suit filed by Mr. Sinnott an injunction waa asked re straining Treasurer Lewis from the collecting of penalties only against those who have paid one-half of their taxes before April 1, Judge Clecton went further and declared inoperative nil the provislona of the 19FJ law which require collections of penalties on taxes unpaid after April 1, unless the same shall be delin quent. The time of delinquency. Judge Cleeton held, la September 1. "In reaching this conclusion." Turf fleetnn aaid. in exDlalnlng his 'ruling, "the court's mind is not free! from doubt, but in granting thla re straining order it appears that no one can be injured, for if this court la wrong in Its interpretation of thia statute the higher court will, no doubt, correct the error and enable the collector later to collect these penalties. llerause county officials in all pnrta of tho stale have been waiting for Judge Cleeton'a decision, it is believed probable that the ruling will bo followed throughout the btate. Concerning the matter a special dispatch to the Oregonjan from Sa lem aayB: The ruling of Circuit Judge Clee ton, of Multnomah County, that pen alties for second-half tax payments cannot be collected before September 1 In that county will be taken aa a basis for collections In other coun ties until a ruling is made by the Supreme Court, if the case ever gets to that tribunal, is the belief of lawyers of thia city who have made a study of the tax lawa. That the State Tax Commission takes that view, is evidenced by ita statement to the taxpayers of the state that they may exercise their own judgment as to the payment of the se. olid half, and that the com mission will abide by the advice of the Attorney-General that it cannot intervene in the litigation.

Hlicep Itate Unchanged There seems to have been some mistake or miaunderatanding in the reported livestock freight rates aa quoted In last week's Examiner, in staling that the car ratea on Bheep from here to San Francisco had been reduced from $203.06 to $178.18. The matter caused some conjecture among thoao familiar with present freight rates, and in investigating the matter it la found that the rate on ahecp, aa taken from Supplement lio. 9, Western Pacific Livestock Tariff No. 71A, and effective Octo ber 10. 1912, la $178.18 per stand ard 36 ft. car from here to San Fran cisco. Thla rate la, of course, the same by Reno over the Southern Pacific. Inaofar aa we are able to learn, the reduction on horae and cattle rates aa quoted last week will become effective about May 1. The article was taken from data handed In at this office, which waa naturally unquestioned, and was giv en purely for the benefit of stock growera. RY.

MILL IN OPERATION MILL WILL OPERATE NEARLY ALL THIS MONTH Industry Circulates About 30OO Monthly When Running Buy Home PrKlucts The Lakevlew Flour Mills started up on Monday of this week and will continue in operation throughout the greater part of April. The mill has an abundance of grain on hand and it is expected that about 100,000 pounds of flour will be manufactur ed this spring. George Hammersley is the miller in charge. The Mill Company has on hand at present about 90,000 pounds of Hour. Owing to local conditions the nrlce on fancy Patent Grade was re- J duced to $2.85 per cwt., and Banner Brand lo ?z.t)U. i nese prices em Into effect March 30. Last fall this company paid" out over $15,000 for grain which all went to the farmers of this valley. Prospects were never better for a good grain harvest than it is thla year, and the management of the Mill Company Is anxious to dispose of the nresent stock in order to be able to handle the coming crop. The mill consumes about $2600 worth or wheat a month, and thla with the operating expense of about $500, places something like $3ouo in cir culation monthly. With the local demand for flour the mill is kept busy about four months out of the year, but if all the Lakevlew merchants would handle this local product lnatead of shipping In Nevada flour proapecta could be made much brighter for the farmers. It too, yould be an In centive for an Increased acreage and would enable the flour mill to continue operation all the year. On the other hand should there be an abundance of grain raised this year and the Mill Company unable to handle It on account of a limited market, farmers would have to de pend on the outside market, which like the potato market, would likely HOUSE VOTES FOR REPEAL MAJORITY OF 0 YOTES FAVORS PLEA OF PRESIDENT WILSON BILL NOW IN THE SENATE Panama Toll Exemption Causes One of Moat Spectacular Struggle of Nation in Congress " Clark OpiJoses Washington, March 31.
