INLAND FARMERS
ON WHEAT PRICES.
Big Representative Meeting Be Held at
Spokane Nov. 13 to Get Pro-

courthouse yesterday was attended
by about 200 farmers, Congress.
man Dill and State Grain In.
spector R. D Jarboe. 1t was presid-
ed over by ]. P. Hill, chairman of
the Spokane County Farmers union.
Before adjourning to 60 into execu-
tive session as a farmers union il
passed resolution calling meet
ing of members of farmers unions
and oranges of the Inland Empire
to be held at the same place Novem-
Der 13 at 10 a. m. and inviting the
presence of both United States SEN
ators and all of the congressman
from this state.
The discussion that preceded the
adoption of this resolution covered
wide range. 1t dealtIwith wheat con-
ditions in various states, market
prices, ocean freight rates. rural
credits, the nonattendance of any of
the congressional delegation except
Congressman Dill, the necessity of
better organization of farmers and
the unreliability of government crop
reports.
In stating the object of the meeting
R. A. Hutchinson said that from
what he could learn the wheat crops
of the world we're not equal to those
of last year, even admitting that
there had been 100000, 0,00O BUSH
el crop in this country, which he
seemed disposed to question.
Gin any event. said he, "our crop
this year is only 8O,o0O,OOO bushels
larger than last year, when it was
all No. ! wheat, which it is not this
year. In the central west much of
this years crop is not fit for mill
ing"
He said that those Interested in
securing cheap wheat had flooded
the press of the nation with reports
calculated to depress the price.
Last year only very few Inland
Empire farmers got better than rs
cents bushel for their wheat and
it was being attempted to bring
about a similar condition this year,
that is, to keep the price down un-
til the farmers had practically all
sold. Jim Hills prediction of TO-
cent wheat had been widely spread |
with this object in view. He assert
ed that Mr.. Hill was the owner of a
large terminal elevator and that if |
he could fill it with wheat at that |
price he could make the cost of the
elevator this year.
He said the federal government

porter Houser, who was said to hav'
cornered the charters from Pacifk
coast ports both last year and thl
year. 1t was largely to secure tn
help of the states congressman II
this matter that they had been invlt
ed to be present and he was sure thai
if the meeting had been one of bank
ers or millmen instead of farmers
they would all have managed to at
tend despite the shortness Of notice.
7. c.. Lawrence said the situation
today pretty clossly parelleled that
of a year ago. The question was
what action should be taken while
the producer still held the wheat.
In his opinion what the farmers need
ed was fiscal agent, disassociated
from any thought of personal profit
in marketing of grain. To start a
"hold your wheat" movement now
was a serious responsibility, though
he had been in favor of that move
ment last year. So far as he had
been able to ascertain the price at
Portland was in harmony with the
worlds price considering the high
ocean freights. He was advised by
a friend in Portland that neither Mr..
Houser nor any other exporter could
corner charters and he believed that
if Mr.. Houser had not so many ships
under charter the present price would
be lower. Sufficient ships have not
yet been secured to move all the crop.
Since the outbreak of the war,
ocean freights had advanced 40 cents
the bushel between Pacific Coast
ports and Liverpool. Atlantic rates
had then raised almost as much.
State Grain Inspector Jarboe said
he had not expected to be called on
but was glad to place at the disposal
Of the farmers such information as
he had on the subject. The present
price of charters was 95 shillings the
ton, the Minnesota having been TAX
en- at that rate last week. This was
a freight rate from Puget Sound TO
Liverpool of 63 cents the bushel.
Charters this season had averaged
above 80 shillings Last year they
started at 80 to 80 shillings, but
when war was declared advanced to
76. Normal rates were about 80
;hillings for steamers and % for
'ailers. The average ocean rate for
six years prior to the war was frac-
ion less than ID cents the bushel.
The present rate from New York to
Liverpool was As cents. Last year
t was % cents.
He said the reason one exporter
lad most of the tonnage was because
le had taken all that offered when
,thers considered the rates too high.
The high rate was due to the war.
The rates on lumber for some time
lad been 225 shillings or S57 the
housand feet. No lumber had NOV
d at that rate. 1t was now 125
killings.
Asked by Mr.. Lawrence if Mr..
douser, having effected his earlier
harters at 78 and 80 shillings and
he later one at 95 shillings, could
ot afford to pay more than he was
Ioing, he said: eyes, he can and
aust when his tonnage begins to ar
i've, if the farmer hold on to their
heat, or else pay heavy demurrage
n his ships"

TRAP AND FIELD

centuries has shooting been brought down to it's present day degree of popularity.
 Now to taboo the gun and endeavor to curb an inherent desire of human nature is practically working along the lines of greatest resistance. In fact, IL is tLp difficult a matter, inasmuch as there is a better and more efficient way.
 Would 1t not be much better to divert the shooting instinct of man to other channels? And right here trapshooting becomes interesting because trapsheoting shows both the means and the end The gun virtually becomes one of the strongeat allies of the advocate of prevention to cruelty-for the very reason that trap shooting is carried on by mechanical means Divert the hunters enthusa am and skill to the practice of breaking or killing clay pigeons and without l ,'- fering with the shooters whims-with 1u. conflicting with his desires--the safety # both bird and beast is more or less in crea sed
 Moreover, to develop and cultivate the clean, democratic sport of trapshooting Is to give the gunner even greater sport because of the skill the game demands. Clay pigeons are lifeless things-but-their flight Is much swifter than that of bird and their tricky turns and sudden defiec- tions are varied enough to challenge the skill of the most expert marksmen.
 Prevention of cruelty to animals With the aid of the gun and clay pigeons--c m servation-think 1t over!

In fact 1t is rather difficult to see how we can dispense with Lindsay at the present time. It begins to appear as if Bill is cinehing his job with every wauop.
 It was stated yesterday that Man ager Molesworth just missed signing Neal Ball by about 90 minutes. Ball, a former Bnliken, and star in the majors, Is reported to have reached an agreement with the Toronto club of the International league.
 Regarding the acquisition Of Lefty" George 1t is reported that the former big league southpaw has not yet se- cured his release from the Kansas City club of the American association. Pitcher George is slated to become Baron in the near future.
 Evidently the offer of owner Rick Woodward to take the Barons on trip to Cuba, providing they win the pennant had the desired effect. as the tribe of Molesworth displayed rare snap in the duo of games yester- day. Remember the slogan boys: All Aboard for Cuba.
 In both games yesterday Mir. "Bull- dog Williams umpred in rank fash ion and thoroughly dsgusted the fans. President Baugh, how long are you going to Haunt incompetents in the face of popular disapproval?
 Tomorrow the Barons return for series with the Lookouts. Incidentally tomorrow will be Trophy Day" and the silver cup will be awarded to some fan or fannet who holds the lucky number.
 Despite the four consecutive defeats handed to the Barons by the Memphii. the henehmen of Molesworth broke even on the games played during the past week. The Barons played eight games and won exactly half of them. That is not such bad record with a broken up team. Cheer up, fans the Barons will yet make that Cuban trip.

 CONSERVATION
How This Great American Sport

By GEORGE H. PIERRE

The cry of conservation rings through the air. The killing of Americas winged host and it's fast disappearing game Is the common topic of conversation. The great movement of prevention of cruelty is fast spreading over the country. growing stronger each moment Reformation is abroad and many ways of bringing about beneficient results have been discussed or tried.
 In many circles both the gun and gum ner have come in for a certain amount of criticism. Eliminate hunting say a few of the more radical and the evils of hunting-much of practice of cruelty--wIll have been removed. Legal means hay Q been resorted to. The game laws of many states have been limited. But in the en- deavor to get to the root of things oae feature has apparently been lost to sight.
