joice if able to buy wheat by

pound.
It is an extremely peculiar
situation, to say the least.
There is a differential Of 81
per bushel between the am
cunt offered the grower in
Pendleton and the price charg-
ed the consumer in England.
High charters have consider
able to do with this. Figuring
charters at 80 shillings it costs
53 cents a bushel to ship wheat
from Portland to Liverpool.
The freight from Pendleton to
Liverpool is 81 cents. But after
this has all been deducted
there is still a differential Of
80 cents. The insurance rate
by water, including both war
and marine risks total but six
per cent. That means but six
cents a bushel if wheat is in
sured at a valuation of 81. De-
duct that charge and also a
charge Of two cents a bushel
for handling and there is still
a difference Of 80 cents a bush
ell between the price offered
here and the price quoted in
Liverpool.

can come into the county and
sell anything from bogus stock
in a bogus concern to wooden
.autmegs. But they do it. Not
once, but they are at it all the
time. There is not a week
but some rancher thinks he is
wise and comes to the surface
and takes a Brown Hackle.'
Usually they keep the matter
secret, and think that in a
year or two they will be the
envy Of all of their neighbors
for the big profits they made
from their wise investment.
Now, you ranchers, who have
sense enough to chew tutti-
frutti ought to know better.
There is no big profit-sharing
concern that is going to come
way out here and hunt you up
cut of the sage brush just to
slip you a key to the govern
ment mint. They are not going
to do it."
Sad but only too true. A
concern certain of even reason
able profits, does not have to
go among the people of Grant
county or of Umatilla county to
find hackers. There is always
capital available for such en-
terprises.

MEASURING TIME BY MOONS,

The Indians measure time by
moons. They count twelve for the
year, and then add one more, which
they call the "lost moon"
They have a descriptive name for
each month, thus,
January, the cold moon.
February, the snowy moon
March. the green moon.
April, the moon of plants.
May, the moon of flowers.
June, the hot moon.
July, the moon of the deer,
August the sturgeon moon
September the fruit moon.
October, the travelling moon.
November, the beaver moon.
December, the hunting moon,
1t is said our antediluvian ancestors
also counted time by moons and that
Methusaleh, for instance, was $50
moons, not years, when he died.

High Food Prices Prevail in Holland

The HAGUE, April 2S.-Holland
is now suffering from high food
prices. the result of various causes,
chief of which was the rush of Dutch
producers at the beginning of the
war to TAXI advantage Of the in
creased demand from abroad and the
consequently augmented rates of,
fcred by foreign buyers.
Retail prices of a number Of arti.
Giles CT consumption have risen in
ever increasing ratio ever since the
outbreak of hostiIities. Statistics
covering % articles have been COM
piled and these show that, figuring
the average cost at 100 during the
pact 20 years, the prices have now
risen by so per cent. Prices, how
ever, had started going up some
time before the war. In fact, since
1907 they have been rising steadily
two to three points a year until July,
1914, when they stood at 113. From
August to December last year they
jumped suddenly to 121. in January
this year they had mounted to 1879,
in February to 1870, and they are still
going up.
Neat, especially pork, has gone up
considerably in price. Part of this
increase is due to the rise in fodder.
hay and oil cake. but much of it
has been brought about by the pass
ing over the frontier into Germany
F.! of lie animals, whose further en-
ports. however, has been forbidden.
, Meal also has been exported in large
Quantities, Germany taking in Feb
ruary this year alone about $3.50
900 pounds of pork and Great Brit
ain $1,000 900 pounds from Holland.
The price of first quality beef, live
weight, wholesale, has gone up since
August last from an average of 16
cents to Is cents a pound. while the
retail price has increased from %
20 2e cents a pound. Pork, live
weight. wholesale, which cost in
August SK cents a pound, now
fetches 1914 cents a pound, while
the retail butchers price has risen
in the same time from IN average of
about 10 cents to about 2S cents a
pound.
Potatoes form one of the products
of which Holland always possesses
a surplus. and the question of their
profitable export is an important con-
sideration. A large part of the cul-
! tivated land in Holland is planted
with them, the total extent being
about 100000 acres, most of it in
the four northern provinces. The
quantity of the crop produced an.
nually is about 2,400. 600 tons, val
ucG at about $4,000, About
100000 tons of this quantity is

an enormous demand from Germany.
There was also a greater demand for
potatoes in Holland itself owing to
the presence of so many Belgian ref
ugees and also to the use of pota-
tees for cattle feed instead of oil
cake. which had become high in
price. At one time there was a dan
country in consequence of the in
creased exports and the minister of
agriculture for a time prohibited
export as a precautionary measure
in orCer to keep sufficient of them
in stock for emergencies. Several Of
the larger cities bought up stocks
at the same time, but the municipal
ities are finding they made a mis-
take. for the potatoes are still on
their hands and some of them are
-vtting.
The exports in The first seven
months of the war reached a total
of 100000 tons or only 5000 tons
less than in the entire year of 1913,
while the export of potato flour
amounted from November, 1914 till
March. 1915, to about $4,000 tons
or nearly $4,000 tons in excess of
the expert in the same period of
191S.1914. The high prices paid by
Germany made the local price
mount and the government found it.
self compelled to fix a maximum
price for retail selling. as the work.
ing classes had begun to feel the
pinch.
bles have also become more expen-
size since Germany has been calling
for more and more imports of truck
garden produce. The truck garden
ers are naturally making good prof
its and the Dutch consumers find
themselves compelled to pay more
for their vegetables. The truck
farmers, however, are making strong
opposition to a proposal to regulate
or prohibit exports of the products
which they declare would ruin their
business. They argue that the sale
by them of their produce to foreign
ers brings money into Holland which
otherwise would not reach this coun-
try and which helps the people to
tide over the hard times brought on
by the war. Meantime the Dutch
house wife is compelled to pay more
for her food and sees no benefit COM
ing to her from the Increased eX-
rOrts.

Rich ore has been found at Rand,

The ore was found in drifting
east on the tunnel level. Assays bet
ter than $1,000 across the vein,
which is 10 to 80 inches wide, have
been taken, picked pieces, the let
ter says, going higher than $1,000
per ton. Ferretta and Saturno
shipped a carload of ore from their
claim some time ago, which netted
them $4,000. They now have a
night Waterman on the place. &C
cording to the letter, for just before
making the shipment some one
broke into the tunnel and cut open
the sacks looking for rich samples.
Joining the Golden Penn on the
east is the Consolidated ground,
owned by Blacky Thomas and 9TH
ers. They have a large tonnage
blocked out and are getting some
shipping ore. One mile west of the
same vein is the Last Hope mine
now being worked by Charles Koe-
gel. This property has shipped more
than 100000 worth of ore in the last
