W. S. LOWE, 3-1 Street Commissioner. CHEAP LAND, Big crops, high prices have put the farmers of western Ca nada on a prosperity footing that was undreamed of before the world war. More western Canada farmers have big bank balances than ever before; more, western Canada farm ers are spending this winter in Cal ifornia and Florida than ever before more automobiles were bought last year by Canadian farmers than ever before. Western Canada has struek its stride and the man who gets in there now is going to make money for years to come. Along the lines of the Canadian Northern Railway is some of the best land in the coun tryprice $15 to $25 per acre (easrfor Portland and Seattle in President terms) and 128.000160 acre free Wilson 's recent proclamation and the farms. Let us tell yon all about iow water rate pledged by the Shipping western Canada and why more land Board, which would automatically raise was sold to American farmers in tne rate to a parity price with Chicago 1917 than in anv one previous year. jjr.

Hastings St, Vancouver, B. O. Missouri Man Thinks That Disastrous Coal Shortage Is Impending Washington, Feb. 26. Predicting a coal shortage of the most disastrous character in the near future, unless the .. , ,, . tatlon an gucss work, ' ' Senator Reed louay suoniiitea to tne xuei-iooa inves mendations to avert this situation One Ending of governmental inter ference with the coal business. Two Immediate announcement of prices which will prevail after April 1, so that dealers may make contracts.' Three Giving of information to con sumers, so they will know that coal will be available at what prices. Reed criticised the handling of the coal situation by the fuel administra tion. Quoting liberally from the testi- cite ana oy eigut per cent tor unumin- At tht same time, coal shipped abroad, including that for bunkering ships sail ing from American ports, was less than that used in 1916 by more than 500,000 tons. That a serious coal famine occurred, Reed declares, is due to the following causes: One Repudiation of the prices fixed last summer by the Lane committee Two The lapse of sixty days be twecn repudiation of the Lane prices and the fixing of new prices by the fed eral trade commission. Three Constant assurance given the public ef an abundant supply of coal, together with advice not to buy at cur rent prices. Four An unwise multiplicity of pri ority orders. Five Forcing of coal into the north west, while needs of middle west and eastern states were ignored. Reed reviewed the work of Scretary of the Interior Lane and F. S. Peabody last June in fixing coal prices, the re pudiation of . these prices later by Sec retary of War Baker and the disastrous effect on the confidence and the busi ness of many coal dealers. Then he quoted at length the conflict ing statements made from time to time regarding the threatened coal shortage. "Coal dealers who anticipated a coal shortage and stated the real facts were severely criticised by the federal trade commission, if, indeed, they were not blacklisted," said Reed. Fuel Administrator Garf feld and Sec retary Baker were criticised for telling the pnblie not to buy when coal was plentiful ana cheap. Old Salem Resident Meets Death hy Apoplexy Apoplexy is attributed as the cause of the sudden death yesterday after noon of F. M. Howe, which occurred about 5 o'clock as he was working in a field on the C. F. Lansing nursery a short distance east of Salem. Death ea-mo suddenly as he was engaged -in moving nursery stock in a wheelbarrow. Mr. Hcwe was 69 yeara old and has lived in Salem for the past 28 years, his present home being at 9bo north hgth street, Besides his widow, Mrs. Sarah Hcwe, he is survived by the fol lowing children: Mrs. G. S. Freeburger, Portland; Mrs. Paul Stege, Salem; Clair J. Howe, of Eugene, and Rolla Howe, of San Francisco. The funeral will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2:00 from the Webb Clough chapeL Wheat Price In Northwest Will Be $2.18 Bushel; Same As In Chicago Portland, Or. Feb. 26. Absolute par ity of Northwestern wheat markets with Chicago and a basic price of $2.20 for the 1918 crop by virtue of the water rate announced by the United States Shipping Board was confidently assert ed last night by C. W. Nelson of Seattle uPon his arrivel in Portland f rom Wash- wic . muivio tuivu ucKfjauvu uormwesiern siaies in coniereuce wim the Federal Food Administration and the Shipping Board. "The price in northwestern markets will be absolutely identical with the price at Chicago, or $2.20, for the 1918 erop, ' ' declared Mr. Nelson, who is gen eral manager of the Tri-State Terminal eompany, a farmers' union enterprise, at Seattle. No Misunderstanding Exists. Mr. Nelson, who left Washington on Thursday of last week, at the conclu sion of a fortnight's conference betwen the farmers' -delegation, Food Adminis trator Hoover and officials of the Ship ping Board, waves aside all rumors of misunderstanding or disagreement, and states that harmony and willingness to serve the interests of northwestern wheatgTowers marked the entire pro ceedings at the successful conclusion of which the delegation departed. Concerning the seeming discrepancy between the basic priee of $2.05 named HiGH SCHOOL HEAD Miss Margaret Cosper Also Re-elected Principal of Garfield School At it regular meeting last night the school board re-elected J. C. Nelson to the position of principal of the Salem High school for tho year 1918 1919, at a salary of $1,800 year. This is the same salary which Mr. Nelson is receiving at present. Miss Margaret J. Cosper was also re elected to the position of principal of the Garfield school and supervisor of the grades t a salary of $1200 a year. The board also received bids on wood with which to supply the various schools for the coming year. A bid from the Spaulding Logging company was received which agreed to deliver 525 cords of Blab wood to the various schools for $3.50 a cord. Two bids were received to supply old fir, ono at $5.00 a cord and theothcr at $5.49. Bids wero had on second growth fir from $4.84 to $5.25 a cord. No action was taken by the board, the matter be ing referred to a committee to report at the next meeting. City Superintendent John W. Todd brought the matter before tho board jof reorganizing the manual training de partment so that it would conform with , the requirement of the Smith-Hughes federal act. The act provides that where any high school vocationalizes its manual training department to meet certain requirements the federal government will assist in maintaining the department by paying half the sal aries of all instructors receiving over a minimum of $1,200 a year. Superintendent Todd stated that the local department could bo made to meet tho requirement" of the act without additional room and without additional instructors. The necessary additional equipment which would be needed would consist of two lathes, a grinder, a. drill press, eighteen bench vises, two forges and anvils, tho total cost of which would be around $1,500. With this equipment the department would be able to give instruction in metal work as well as wood work, the former of which is considered the more im portant in the industries of today. No definite action was taken by the board, the matter being taken under advisement. The object would be to have the department reorganized and ready for the opening of school next fall. Lutherans Would Raise $200 War Funds Here The committee in charge of the local drive to secure funds for the Lutheran Church war service, "announced today that the $750,000 needed in the United States had been over-subscribed, close to a million having been reported to day. The local church needs $200, and it is thought by George Koehler, chair man of the committee in charge of the work, that this will be oversubscribed. There are 165,000 Lutheran boys in the army and navy, (and the church is making an effort to supply their needs. Buildings are to be put up in the army camps ,rnd chaplains with the neces sary assistants, will be established in each camrv The city of Salem has been divided into four districts, and a committee is at work this week in each district. Folohving arc the chairmen of the com mittees: August Kehrberger, C. Spitz bart, Mrs. H. Alhers, Mrs. J. Miller.

State House News f 1 Following a conference with Acting Adjutant-General Williams, Governor Withycombe has announced that the .Oregon Home Guard units would be j placed under state control. This is to be done in order to perfect a better I organization in caee of labor or other j trouble. While no emergency exists at present, it was thought best to pre jpare for possible 'disturbances in the j future. State Labor Commissioner Hoff, in a letter r-ddressed to William A. Wilson, secretary of the deportment f labor, urged that safety guards be placed on each ship now under construction in Oregon, whose duties will consist of protecting workmen from injuries. Mr. Hoff is joined in the petition by the labor men of thp state who believe that better protection should be se cured. Carelessness in the vards is causing a large percentage of the ac- Jeidents, and these could be precented by the proposed safety guards. The d-rt land board decided nt a meeting held this morning, to take over the Central Oregon Irrigation pro ject in Eastern Oregon. The pro ject is completed, end includes approximately 50,000 acres of land in Crook and Deschutes eounties.

Bird Ihn Will Ciye Unique Entertainment at , High School Tonight Charles Bowman Hutchins, tho man who speaks the English language as well as bird language, with real bird voices, delighted the school children of McKinley and Englewood schools with his pictures and soaigs of local birds today. Mr. Hutchins, who years ago was known as the "whistling newsboy of Seattle," now gives all his time to teaching bird lore in tho public schools and lecturing upon tho economic value of birds. Besides his ability to imitate the most difficult bird songs, Mr. Hutch ins is omo of tho best lightning sketch artists, and today at. the McKinley school he told the children to name any local bird and in a few minutes he would make a pastel painting in full colors of any bird named. That the state of Oregon has about 416 different kinds of birds and that only 13 out of the 416 are doing more harm than good, or enough harm to warrant their destruction, was stated to the children of Englewood school today by Mr. Hutchins. He declared that many valuable species will soon he extinct if the citizens of tho state do not do more to protect and pre serve them. Mr. Hutchins will show his lightning sketches and give a bird vocal concert at the Salem high school tonight un der the auspices of the student body.
