Potatoes have been declined again,
this time from $3.50 to $2@2.25
Sweets have also declined from 81 to

tone to the market is reported at Chi
cago
Cabbage is easier at $250@S per

Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-Now that the food admins
tration has changed the terminal prices
for Portland, Seattle and Tacoma to
$2.05 for bulk wheat, the usual pre-
MUM for sack wheat will remain eff
fective, and the following prices from
now on will prevail during the season
of 1918, unless otherwise changed:
Bluestem $1.95, club $1.91 and Red
Russian $l.SS. No. 2 SC less. No 3
&c less No. 4 and lower, sample grade,
but must sell at least 1c under No.
3. Growers have been holding back
to see what would be accomplished
at Washington and this has kept many
from selling. Recently considerable
wheat was sold freely, which enabled
millers to stock up to certain extent
and from now on an easy market Is
predicted. While no doubt many are
dissatisfied with the government rul
ing, growers ought to feel satisfied, as
sc increase to Coast terminals is
better than nothing, especially when
taken into consideration that the price
fixing committee was dissolved and
the prices made were to be in use un
til July /, 1918, when the 50 pei
bushel guaranteed by the government
is to go into effect.
Flour-As the new government regu
lations for buying wheat and manufac
turing and selling flour went into eff
feet on the 10th, trade is as yet in al
unsettled condition, and millers are
trying to find their bearings before
they will be able to do much new bust
ness. Reports indicate that stocks O
-four with distributors and consumer!
are small, and millers are making
every effort to take care of the de
mand, although hampered by the lacl
of wheat. Most millers have as mucl
floor booked as they can take care o
within 80 days, and therefore are turn
ing down orders, excepting in the mos
urgent cases.
Feed-There has been no prize
changes in feed except a reduction O
SO on fell wheat, which makes tn

for fall business following the extra
impetus impaired to mercantile inter-
ests in the stocking up Of households
upon the return of the summer-outers.
The large returns in agricultural
sections usually following the market
ing of the wheat crops has been some
what retarded this year by the in
clination on the part Of the farmers
to hold on to their grain as long as
possible in the hope of getting better
prices. The continued employment Of
labor bids fair to take care of an
otherwise perplexing problem for some
time to come.
Provisions.
Butter-The market is ruling very
strong at the recent advance, with
Washington creamery quoting at 47@
48c. While the situation Is strong
one, no further advances are looked
for for some time, but indications fore
cast that eventually there will be an
other advance. Chicago reports a
steady market with trade only mod.

Eggs-Market shows advancing ten,
dency, this being especially true of
fresh ranch stocks, and 1t Is predicted
that local ranch eggs will go still
higher. Quotations for the week are
$12@13 to the producers for fresh
ranch and $13@15 wholesale. No. I
storage are now selling at $13 and this
probably will be the ruling figure for
the season.
Fresh Meats-A slight advance Is
noted in both steer and COW beef, with
the former quoted at 11h@15c and
the latter 10ia@14c. Mutton and
lamb also have advanced slightly, be
ing quoted at 2O@21c and 26c. Porl
remains firm at 24h @33c. In live
stocks, hogs are very scarce, receipts
being limited, and this also is true o.

All persons serving in the army,
navy or marine corps of the United
States, including the new draft army
which is now forming. are automatic
ally exempt from suit for the collec-
ton of debts during the period Of
their service, according to bill which
has been introduced in congress by
Representative Morgan of Oklahoma.
The Commercial Bulletin points out
the Importance of this bill to the gro
Gerry trade. 1t is apparent on its face
that anyone entering the army could
not be forced by law to meet his obli-
cations for groceries or other neces-
stiles as long as he remained in the
service, which would also preclude the
use of punishment laws. It's impor-
lance is further emphasized in the
case of wives whose husbands are in
the U. s. service as they could run up
bills without their being collectible in
a legal way.

Mosquito Can Be Destroyed
Only BY Eliminating Its
Hiding Places, Says Expert

That the people of every commu-
nifty should unite against common
enemy-the mosquitoes the opinion
of George A. Dean, Professor of en-
tomology in the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college.
BY doing away w1hl breeding
places, such as tin cans, broken crock
cry, and various receptacles that hold
water, by the drainage of bodies of
water likely to contain immature
mosquitoes, by application of oil to
bodies of water that cannot be
drained, or the Introduction of fish in
pools that cannot either be drained
or oiled, millions Of mosquitoes may
be destroyed, according to Professor
Dean.
Water is necessary for the life of
the mosquito. The eggs which are
laid on the surface Of the water by
the adult mosquito, hatch in from "a
hours to several days, depending on
the temperature. The larvae issue
from the lower end Of the egg and
wriggle about In the water.
The larvae Of the house mosquito
rest with the tip Of the abdomen al
the surface of the water and the head
hanging downward. The larvae of the
malaria fever mosquito lie parable
with the surface of the water to OBJ
tain air. In from one week to ter
days they change to another form
the pupae-which have two respira
tory tubes on the thorax. These pu
pae float in-the water and transform
to the adult in from five to six days

MINING NOTES

The Grand Forks smelter of the
& Power Co. produced 917,812 pounds
of copper in August, according to
New York report. The Anyox plant
produced 2,918,95S pounds.
The Kusa Spelter Co., owner of a
large smelter in Oklahoma, has bought
the Price & Smith group of six claims
in the Lake creek district Of the Wood
river country, according to a report
from HALEY, Idaho.
The Caledonia Mining Co. has de-
clared it's regular monthly dividend OF
$78,150, according to advices from the
Office in Kellogg, Idaho. The disburse-
ment will be made October 5. This
payment will be at the regular rate of
3 cents a share. 1t will increase the
total of payments to $2,678,941, of
which $781,500 will have been paid
this year.
A second dividend of so cents a
share was declared by the Big Creek
Leasing Co. Wednesday. The dis
bursement will be $4,000, the capital
ization being $4,000. Payment. which
will be made on October 5, will raise
the dividend total to $4,000. The oper-
ations of the company are on the
lower levels of the Yankee Boy mine,
on Big creek, four miles east of KEEL
logg.
An expenditure Of 100000 for the
purchase of the Independence mine in
the Wood river country Of Idaho and
100000 more for it's development
hinges on the close Of negotiations by
the Federal Mining and Smelling Co.
with the owners. An option signed at
Denver recently gives the Federal a
right to take possession on November
Is, says the HALEY Times. In the
meantime, all the ore that can be
broken will be shipped by the owners.
The agreement must be ratified by Of
| ficials of the Federal company and con-
Cured in by stockholders of the indie
pendence company. In the event of
purchase the Federal company will, 1t
is said, drive tunnel Of 1000 feet
into the Independence, will quadruple
the milling capacity, treble the track
age, retimber the mine, build much
larger boarding and bunk houses, en-
large an electrical power and light
plant on Trail creek and electrify the
workings and the mill The estimated
cost OF these improvements will'be at
least 100000.

Responsibility in Food Conservation.

We must increase our export OF
food to the allies, and in the circum-
stances of our shipping situation,
these exports must be of the most
concentrated foods, says the food ad-
ministration. These are wheat flour,
beef, pork and dairy products.
We have other foods in great album
dance which we can use instead of
these commodities, and we can pre-
vent wastes in thousand directions.
We must guard the drainage of ex-
ports from the United States, that we
retain a proper supply for our own
country, and we must adopt such
measures as will ameliorate, SO far as
may be, the price conditions of our
less fortunate. We must try to i'm
pose the equally upon all. There is
no royal road to food conservation.
We can only accomplish this by the
voluntary action of our whole people,
each element in proportion to it's
means.
Future Demand for Livestock Told.
Our herds can not be increased in
a single night or in single year.
Our producers will not only be work
ing in their own ultimate interest in
laying the foundation of larger herds
and flocks, but will serve our ma
tional interest and the interest of
humanity for years to come II the
best strains of young animals are
preserved. This increase in herds
can only be accomplished if we save
more of our roughage and raise more
fodder grains.
There is only one immediate solu
ton to our short supply Of meat for
export pending the increase in our
herds and flocks, which will take
years. During the cOure of the wal
we can, just as with cereals, reduce
the consumption and eliminate the
waste, particularly among those class
es which can best afford it. In the
meantime, in order to protect all OF
our people, we must carefully contro
our meat exports in order that the
people shall not be denied this prime
necessity of life.
