MR. HOOVER MAKES A FRANK ADMISSION.

The Washington correspondent Of The Spokesman-Re-

way had hand in fixing the price of wheat has frankly adj

than consumers in the east.
For whose benefit hen is the prcexng committee work

creased production and to provide cheaper wheat and flour for
the consuming public. But schedule that gives the north
western the lowest prices paid anywhere is not caca,
ed to stimulate increased production in this important wheat
growing region and plan that will high prices for
-four here in the eastern markets falls short of justice the
consumer.
By failing to basic ports for the Pacific northwe

AN EDITORIAL FROM THE "ORECONlAN'
OF SEPTEMBER 6, 1917.
IS LUMBER REALLY DEARER?

1t is generally understood that the umbermen of the
Northwest have had tough time for quite number of
years, but there few people, aside from those in
teresed in branch of the business understand
fully partially the slump several years ago
and the prevailing unfavorable conditions at the present
time.
1t Is estimated by government officials that in normal
times about one million people employed in the um-
ber industries in the United States one quarter
of these, or 100000 employed in the Northwest
Oregon, Washington and Idaho. But during several
years. up say to the first of July 1915 rs per cent of
these idle.
When the loss of wages to 100 people added to
Strikes shortages and the low price Of lumber can
be that the lumbermen have had their Worries But
many think since orders began to pour into the mills
and Dealers that the lumbermen prohtng
Is that true Is it not fact that lumber comparatively
Is today Of the cheapest commodities the market?

cheaper that the middle western eastern miller or surely
the government will be as consistent with -four as they
have been with whea and Pacific coast mlers therefore
should get the price for their flour Buying for less and
selling at the fixed market price will bigger profit for
them than their eastern milling friends.

Correspondence of Associated Press)
Amsterdam, Sept. 1S.-The Belgian
motor boat Scaldis recently ran the
blockade from Germany, flying a Ger
man admiral's flag, and arrived safe
ly in Holland with load of promi-
nent Belgian refugees. The incident
has aroused much interest along the
whole length of the Scheldt.
The Scaldis formyrly belonged to
the Belgian government and was con-
fiscated by the Germans, who fitted
her luXuriously for use by the high
est officers. A Belgian pilot, "Jeff"
Van Dingen, was given the past of
captain because of his intimate
knowledge Of the river. He frequent
~ had the governor general on board
and from the mast there oene~-rv
floated an admiral's flag, for which

JAPANESE LIMIT EXPORTS

Exports of the Precious Metal Are
Restricted by Action of Jap

Correspondence of Associated Press
Toxic, Sept. 20.--A limit on the ex
port of silver both specie and bullion
is fixed under special ordinance is
sued by the ministry of finance. This
is inspired by the recent appreciation
of silver in the European markets and
diminution of the silver output in va
rious producing countries. As a re-
suit OF the advance in prices, the ac-
tual value of silver currency in Japan
has risen above the face value. A
contravention is also provided for
coin into bullion, which could
thus be sold abroad at great profit.

Bob Moore (Jack Mulhall) is work
ing on a new combination for a safe
which will make the business Of bur
glary even more rrecarious. His faith

fer to STAY out of the combination,
much to Hardin's impatience. Bob
puts his own safe combination on his
safe at home and comes in at mid
night just in time to catch burglar
opening his safe proof combination.
With the help Of the police he finds
the burglar and makes proposition
to him. "a man who opens safe
like you ought to make one that even
YOU can't open," he said, and hired
hi mon the spot. Bob was i'll love
with Irene Hardin, the daughter of
his fathers rival, and the next night
when he was visiting her her father
showed him d necklace, put it in his
own safe and says: "There, if you
can open that, you can have anything
II possess" On his mettle, Bob that
might opened the safe, hung the neck
lace ON the knob and went home to
peaceful slumber, all unknowing that
''the Eel" was after the same neck
lace. A whole lot happened when
old man Hardin discovered that the
necklace was gone. But it works into
a wonderful climax for "The Midnight

Mothers who cling to the old form of

cial representatives of the Fcde al
Reserve Bank have opened headqu r
ters in many cities of California, Ne
vad and Arizona, to direct the cam
paign in their territories.
The outstanding feature of the fl st
week was the heavy demand for boz DIS
by small investors. This showed Il at
the people have been saving their
money for investment in the secoad

get in ON the ground floor so not to
