It will be noticed that two inde pendent mills at Aum.vllle and Stay- ton pay as high as 78c for tho best wheat while all the points under tho control of tho Portland trust pay 73c. As a matter of fact very fow of tho firms paying th trust prlco have got any wheat 19 speak of tho past woek, since they dropped tho price to 73c. It Is a fact that they have paid some preferred farmers 75c while advertis ing to pay 73. The Rocky Point pool and the Waldo Hills pool both got 78c and that Is probably what the price should have bean all oves; the valley but for the Wilcox elevator pool, and the education the farmors are getting through The 'Journal Is resulting in very little wheat moving at 73c All that is bought at 73c !c a clear net profit of about flvo centa a bushel to tho trust or whoever gets it at that prlco. Tho way cotton and othor staples aro going up, tho farm er who has wheat Is foollch to soil at the trust price. Farmers and OH Trust. In tho eyes of the men who reap Its rewards the trust la always logltl mate. Tho Waldo Hills farmers, for oxamplo, would not listen to a sugges tlon that thero Is anything morally or legally wrong with tholr littlo com bine. They pooled tholr wheal and offered It to tho highest blddor. Tho first bids received wero ell rejected as being too low, nnd nt a Inter of fering tho pool was sold to a local miller, who paid 78 cents. Thlo was about 7 conts abovo tho valuo of tho wheat for oxport purposes, and the mlllmcn woro compollcd to pay that premium becauso thero Is a local scarcity of wheat It Is admitted that without tho pool or combination tho farmers would not have received the premium they did. Tho producers aro patting thcmsclvca on tho back nnd prntolng their bustnecs sagacltyi Ono John rvitockofollor'Tins pooled tho oil supply, and If ho la not satisfied with tho prlco offered him ho rejects It and acts n higher price. When tho consumer meoto that prlco ho gets tho oil, and no. boforo. It Is tho con trol of tho available supply that en ablcs Rockefeller to namo tho price, and It was tho control of tho supply of wheat adjacent to tho mills that en ablcd tho Waldo Hills farmors to namo tho prlco of tholr grain. Port land Orcgonlnn, Sept. 7. A Farmer Replies. Ed. Jeurnal: In roply to tho abovo I wish to say that tho farmors uniting I to got a fair prlco for their wheat cannot bo compared to Rockefeller's monopoly, whoro he controls both tho raw matorlal and tho manufactured product, and fixes tho prlco of both. Tho grain-buyers could well afford to pay ono to flvo cents a bushol for our oats and wheat In tho Rocky Point pool, as It would tako anyono of thorn j weeks to bunt up that amount of I grain In tho hands of individual grow ers. Tho article In tho Orogonlnn isecm3 to Imply that tho farmers havo jno business capacity. Ho says wo i got soven conts abovo tho 'value of tho I wheat for export purposos." Woll, wasn't that business, considering that Astoria is not allowed to buy grain on common-point basis of ship ments, but our export facilities aro limited to Portland, whoro tho market prlco Is fixed not on any export basis but about flvo to ton cents below what tho wheat Is worth mado Into flour. "A local scarcity for milling pur poses" Uoes not explain tho advance of soven cents a bushel secured by tho Rocky Point pool, because theso samo mills sell flour In competition with tho Portland Trust mills In all tho Oregon and Pacific coast markets, and thoy aro not losing money doing so. If tho farmor gots soven cents a bushol moro for tholr wheat from theso local mills It would pay all tho labor organizations and people gener ally to buy tho Stayton and Aumsville flour just to encourage an honest price for grain. Tho Oregonlan con tradicts Its statement by attributing our seven conts advance on wbt to a local scarcity, when ho says at tho close of tho paragraph quoted ."that It was tho control of tho supply that enabled tho Waldo Hills farmers to namo the price of tholr grain." Tho truth Is they advertised for bidders and had a great ninny; blddors in tho open market, and tho millers had to pay 78c to got the wheat as that was offored by others and some oven oald we woro foolish to sell, as they would havo bid Wc if we had held on I be lieve the farmers havo the business capacity to sto through such flimsy areuments as the abovo and to under stand that a comparison of their pool to Rockefeller's robbery is neither A COUGH CONUNDRUM When is a cough more than a cough? When it's a settled . cold. When it hangs on in spile of all you can do. Cough mix tures won'.t cure it because they are merely for a cough and this is something more.

Tho Ore gonlan wrote that as a whitewash for Rockofcllor, tho great prototype ot all tho brood of trust Iniquities. Tho farmors havo no franchises for pipe lines to tako their wheat free Into the great markets and mills ot tho world as Rockefeller has. They havo no control of tho transportation lines robntcB reaching Into millions annual ly. They do not control legislatures and elect United Statea senators quite 'tis oftcr ns tho Hon. John Rockofollcr docs. Tho supply ot wheat Is limited only by tho amount of land that can bo sown to this corcnl and tho boun ty of nature. Whllo tho oil-fields aro limited and all under tho control of Rockefeller. Doth tho oil producers and tho oil consumers aro at tho inor cy of tho multo-mllllonnlro trust which the Orogontan has tho Impudenco to shield nnd apologize for undor tho gauzy pretense that the Marlon county farmors hnvo committed ns great an Iniquity by uniting a fow thousand bushels of wheat and taking public bids for tho same. H. 8. DOWNING, Grain Farmer and Pooler. THE STAMP OF TRUTH. Salem Residents Know It Well. Thoro la tho stamp ot truth on a statomont endorsed by peoplo wo know by our friends nnd neighbors. Tho following oxperlcnco of a citizen la but ono caso ot Bcoros right horo at home: Charles ucndlo, veteran of tho civil war, member of Co. I, N. Y. Infantry, residing nt 423 West Sixth stroot, Eugene, Ore., says: "I was afflicted with kldnoy complaint for a great many years. I might say. over slnco I camo out of tho sorvlco in tho sixties. I nuvor know tho momont when any ovotl oxortlon of tho contraction of a cold would bring on an attack, and on moro than ono occasion I havo been so bad that I was almost holploBS. Tho last sororo attack I had was about six months ago when tho lamonoss across tho small of my back set In in dead earnest nnd felt as though thoro wao a heavy weight over each kldnoy. Thoro was a weakness ot tho blnddor and kldnoys and tho secretions woro not undor propor control. Somo of tho numerour remedies I used gavo tem porary rollof but that was all. Learn ing about Doan's Kldnoy Pills I got a box. I felt their boncflclal results nf tor n fow doses. I shall always keep them on hand to havo In caso of nood. I met ono of my old comrades, Mr. Btowoll, who was complaining of his back and kldnoys. I told him to got Doan's Kldnoy Pills. Ho took my ad- vlco and a day or so aftor I asked him about tho pills. Ho said thoy woro tho finest thing ho had over'usod and that thoy stralghtcnod him up In a hurry." Plenty moro proof llko this from Salem peoplo.
