URGE PORTLAND AS
BIG WOOL MARKET
BIG SALES SIMILAR TO LONDON
AUCTIONS SUGGESTED
BY GROWER
Present Little Sales Days of No Value
To Growers Says Howard stephens.
Wool Will Go East BY Water After
This Year

If instead of selling their wool as
at present the wool growers of the
whole northwest would concentrate
all their wool at Portland and hold
there a big sale similar to the London
auctions they would stand better
chance of securing real competition
from the buyers and therefore better
prices. This is the view of many peo-
pie familiar with the wool situation
and among those urging the plan is
Howard Stephens. well known local
grower.
Mr.. stephens believes that the
present sales day policy means moth
ing to the growers. He prefers pri-
vate sales to the sales days but be-
l.eves that If the wool could be as
sembled in Portland sales might be
arranged that would bring more
spirited bidding. He figures that such
sales would attract buyers from all
over the world manufacturing houses
as we'll as brokers
After this year it is the supposition
that all the wool will go east by water
and consequently Portland will be-
come naturally shipping point fol
the northwest wool. 1t is the opin-
ion of Mr.. stephens that the wy
oming, Montana and even Utah WOO
could be brought to Portland.
Spud Raisers Lost Money. Through
not selling their potatoes some time
ago when they We're offered as high
as 75 cents many farmers on Weston
mountain have lost out. The market
is now down and they are hauling
spuds to Weston for 80 cents.
Made Beef Shipment-Horace
Walker has shipped a car of beef to
Portland from his ranch near STAN
field.
London Wool AuctiOn-The third
series of London Colonial Wool Auc-
tions have closed The prices of the
last day were equal to the highest
paid at any time. During the fifteen
days about sixty-five million pounds
pounds of which was taken for AM
erican consumption.
American purchases were general
ly of the better class of Merinos and
Fine Crossbreds. (These grades, by
reason of their lessening production
in this country, have practically fore.
ed their purchase abroad) Active
manufacturing demand was in evi.
dence from all sections of the Cont
nent and England. and the withdraw.
ais aggregated less than two millior
pounds. W
The next series, beginning July 7th
will have available about 10000
bales, or approximately fifty millior
pounds Cable advices indicate tn
expectation that the present stronl
market conditions will continue.
The following cable from Brisbane
Australia, has been received covering
sale of $4,000 bales, or about fifteel
million pounds: "The market is yer
excited. United States buyers are buy
ing freely the Queensland new cliI
Prices of greasy Merinos are full
equal to the highest current Londa
rates"

Let the fountains F1ow.

A good deal of complaint is being
made over the bubbling drinking
fountains, recently installed on the
main streets. because of the fact that
they do not bubble with enough force
Not only does the present flow fail
to feed fast enough to make drink
ing easy but it destroys the sanitary
features of the fountains, the COM
planners say. inasmuch as most of the
drinkers fit their mouth over the
fountain cup in order to drink faster.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Regarding Band Concerts

To the Editor of The Age Herald.
 Last year the Music Study club band committee, under the capable and en- ergetic chairmanship of Mrs. Hundley achieved wonderful success with the public band concerts. Mrs. Hundley by her unusual perception and discrim ination selected very excellent band under the leadership of conductor and composer of ability.
 The music loving public remembers with keenest delight the Verdi Was ner anniversary programmes which were heard by 5000 or 5000 people. The great success of those concarts was due to the technical and artistic Knowledge of the conductor and would not have been possible to an ordinary band leader.
 As a matter of civic pride, we ought to encourage our citizens in the studv of the best, whether in music or any other art, and in the qualification of their artistic tastes and desires,
 To those who subscribe to the band concert fund it Is only fair to give the best their money will purchase.
 If we are going to repeat the pub lie concerts this year, let us try to give the people the best that can be obtained and to do that We should get conductor who has shown what he can do. and try no experiments Yours very truly. H. K. MII4NER.

GOVERNMENT ENDS
 NAVAL STORES CASE
Former Treasurer of Com pany Chief Witness for
 Prosecution

Savannah, May 29.-The case of the government against E. S. Nash, S. P Shotter, J. F. c. Myers and Carl Noel Ter of the suspended American Naval Stores company, who are charged with conspiring to monopolize the naval stores trade. was closed in the federal district court here today.
 George M. Boardman, former treas urer of the Naval Stores company, was the chief witness for the government. He was originally included in the list of indicted officers. but the case against him was nolle pressed recently
 Copies of letters which passed be- tween MT. Boardman and other off eials of the company were introduced which the government claimed tended to show that the treasurer had re- signed as result of disputes growing out of the alleged practice of regarding 8 naval stores by the company.
 Testimony was offered indicating that the difference between Mir. Board man and MT Shotter became so acute that the treasurer resigned but final ly consented to withdraw his resigna- tion until after the annual meeting of the company on the promise of offi- cials that the alleged practice of re- grading would be stopped.
 Other witnesses examined for the government were Charles Liley of Cal ifornia and N. V. Graves of Philadel- phia. The government then rested its case and the defense called Mir Noel Ter, one of the defendants, as its first witness. He denied the alleged prac- tice of regarding.
