Thn morn announcement of this po4tpnnomunt does not convey to tlio general public tho Importance of tho action. In thn first place, tho public salo ot this largo amount of govern-' ment 'wool nt this time, when tho clip for 1020 Is still owned by tho producer, and tho 1921 clip Is Just being mado, would result In a ery low prlco holng offered for tho gov ernment wool, and It sold would bo at a largo financial sacrifice to tho govornmont.

Tho Cal In mlddlo western territory. Rate took a big Jump last year, when all commodity prices were fall ing, and tho present rato redactions do not bring them back to last year's basis. For instance, C. A. Albertson, sales manager of tho Pelican Day Lumber company, today pointed out that the rato to Chicago boforo the raise lest year was 65 cont. It wont to 8V4 cents, and Is now reduced to 73 cents, night cents above last year's rate, whllo lumber prices now are far be low last year's prices. Two features in the new rates aro Immediately beneficial. For the first tlmo In history Klamath Falls Is grouped with California points and no longer pays the cent and a halt differential over Woed. Tho now grouping alto reduces tho dlfforcnco betweon Klamath Falls and Dond. Heretofore Dend has had an eastorn rate ton conts lower than Klamath Falls. Tho now adjustment will cut tho difference to three cents. Dend competition with local milts Is confined to common lumber, he Cal ifornia mills compete In finished stock.
