INCREASE IN.pR|CES
CALLED SUSPICIOUS
Some Of the Operators May
Get In Clutches Of
Uncle Sam

Washignton, Nov. 6.-District attor-
neys throughout the United States to-
day tightened the official nation, wide
Investigation of food prices announced
yesterday by Attorney General Gre
CORY.
Sufficient evidence has been accumu-
lated already by district attorneys and
department of justice investigators to
warrant the declaration that the pres
ent increase in the necessities of life
is "abnormal and suspicious. In an
official statement the attorney gen
eral today declared this to be true.
FWhercver such increase is found to
be due to conspiracy or other unlawful
action" he said, "the department will
invoke against the offenders the sever
est penalties which the law provides. !"
Bread, milk and coal increases, it was
said at the department, are the three
principal objective points of the in
vestigation. Rise in these commodities
absolute necessities of life-it was
pointed out, strike right to the eco
nomic heart of the nation.
If indictments were obtained in any
of these lines it would have whole
some effect on the producers in gen
eral, it is believed.
Particularly in the coal situation to
department officials feel that they will
be able to make ut good case. Facts
have been uncovered, they report,
which indicate conspiracy by coal
operators and the railroads to force up
the price of fuel. Federal Investigators
are said to be unwilling to accept the
railroads excuse of insufficient cars to
handle the coal as explaining the short

ARMY MEN
PRAISE CEHLHAR

Mr.. Gehlhar, the republican candi-
date for district attorney, has been at
tackled by his political opponents on
his military record. The following is
what the chief mastering officer, who
was at Clackamas, Oregon, has written
concerning Mr.. Gehlhar's efficiency:
" Efficiency as judged:
GAY By condition of command; very
good.
(b) By condition of equipment: very
good.
Control of men:
(a) In disciplinary way: very good.
(b) As tactical leader: very good.
Fitness for present rank; qualified
General estimate: An excellent compa-
my commander. y a.
Gilbert's Estimate of Gehlhar
The chaplain of the Third Oregon
infantry writes as follows:
VIM. S. Gilbert, Chaplain,
Third Oregon Infantry. --
Clackamas, Or, Sep. 20, 1916
From various items appearing in the
press since the return of the regiment
from the Mexican border and specially
in connection with the taking of the
federal oath, it has occurred to me that
wrong impression might be in the
minds of some regarding Captain Max
H. Gehlhar of company NJ. Therefore ]
desire herewith to, express what L be-
lieve to be the sentiment of the Officers
and men Of the regiment regarding
Captain Gehlhar: ..-.--.--- .,-
/ Captain, .Gehlhar has been most
faithful and efficient officer. He has
been scrupulously honest, and entirely
devoted to his company. He has been
untiring in his efforts in training and
leading the men of his command. He
has unvaryingly conducted himself as a
man of fine sentiments and OF high
moral standards. In 50 large company
of l42 soldiers, most of whom are pro
fessional and business men and all OF
whom at personal sacrifice were il
the military service, many difficult sit
luations would arise; and in considering
the taking of thehfederal oath there
would be many dissenting opinions. In
all these trying matters Captain Gehl
Thar has been conscious of his tremend
Gus responsibility. He is deserving OF
the high respect and genuine gratitude
iof every man of his company and OF
tnt people Ol lne community III NhiNi
he resides.
(Signed) VIM. S. Gilbert,
Chaplain Bird Ore. Init
A bridge across the Willamette river
lis soon to be built and many tedious
and technical legal documents will have
to be prepared in connection with this
matter. Mr.. Gehlhar's opponents claim
that he is not competent to do this
work. 1t so happens that Mr.. Gehlhai
has already prepared all of the papers
lin connection with this large undertak
ing and the papers were submitted by
1.-THE county courts of Marion and Poll
Ieountes to the best attorneys in thes'
1.-TWO counties and the procedure, as pre-
lpared by Mr. Gehlhar, was approved b,
these attorneys without change.
These attacks have been mad'
against Mr.. Gehlhar by his politica
opponents in an effort. to elect them
selves and defeat him. 1t is doubtful
however, if many people have givei
these adverse reports very much weigh
but all are entitled to know the truth
and these letters have been publishe'
in order that the truth might be known

FAMILY CARES
This Information May Be Of Value to
Many Mothers in Salem

MANY mOIuciS III odioiu
When there is added to the many
cares inseparable from the rearing of
children that affliction of weakness
of the kidneys and auxiliary organs,
the mother Is lot is far from a, happy
one. This condition has often been
corrected by the use of Doan's Kidney
Pills. When relief comes the mother g
burden will be lighter and her home
happier.
Mrs. s. f. Lewis, 1857 Commercial
ST., Salem, says: 81 couldn' t recon-
mend anything equal to Doan's Kidney
Pills for children who are subject to
kidney trouble. Since giving them to
my little girl, her kidneys act more
regularly and the trouble is gradually
being overcome each day. I feel con-
fident that before long they will make
a permanent cure
Price soc, at all dealers. Don y
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get

Mrs. Lewis recommends. Foster-Mil-
