General Trade Conditions.

Duns says: Waiting is still the rule
in not a few quarters, though in the
main business is rather less hesitant
and the advancing season is calculated
to stimulate those branches which have
experienced the usual summer hating.
With lower temperatures, working
conditions are also better, but the en-
largement of manufacturing capacity
does not in all cases assure augmented
outputs, for the labor problem grows
more difficult with the draft in opera
ton, and even where supplies of raw
materials are adequate the obstacles
impede their movement to points OF
destination.
That many of the mills and fac
tories continue to run actively on pre-
vious orders, and will be thus engaged
for some time to come, is generally
known, yet of new contracts from reg
ular channels there are fewer on the
whole, and purchasing as the necessity
arises stands out as a most prominent
feature, not only in the east, but alst
in the west and south.

LUMBER AND KING.

The sawmill of the Western Mon
tana Co. at Heron, Mont, was com.
pletely destroyed by fire last week. 1t
had about a 10000 capacity and the
value was in the neighborhood of S.
900. There was no insurance.
Fire originating from spark in the
engine room of the Western Montana
Lumber Co.'s mill at Noxon, Mont,
completely destroyed the building and
machinery and about 10000 feet of
lumber. A Northern Pacific box car
standing nearby also was burned. 1t
is understood that there was no in,
surance to cover the loss. The prop.
erty was valued at about $4,000 and
consisted of the building, saw, planer
steam engine and the lumber. No an
nouncement has been made concern
ing the company's plans for the fu'
ture, but it is not considered likely
that the mill will be replaced.

End Uncertainty For All Men Liable
Under Draft is New Plan
Proposed.

Washington.-If large part of the
governors of the states approve a
suggestion by the provost marshal
general, an immediate examination of
the 100000 registered for military
service and not yet called for duty
will be begun. The suggestion was
made with view to satisfying the
great number of young men as to
what they might expect.
kilograms asking opinions on the
ACCESSIBILITY of such action were sent
to all states. To secure the 1000
men already called for service, it
was found necessary to examine near
ly 100000.
Under the plan considered candi
dates would know whether they are
to be selected and could make plans
accordingly.

ment allowing civil and military
prisoners to forward letters. Ger
man civilians are not classed as

COlFAx MAN INvENTS
NEW POTATO SORTER
Simple Machine Does Wonderful
Work-Designed for Use in
Warehouses and by Farmers.

Eugene Brown, inventor manufac-
turer and superintendent, of Colfax,
Washington, has completed new ma
chine which is destined to work won
ders In the warehouses of the potato
districts. The new machine is a pota-
to sorter.
Simplicity is one of the features of
the new machine. A portable box bin
at the end of the machine, an eleva-
tor draper made of hardwood sticks
and betting, a long sorting table of
the same construction as the elevator,
and sacks at the far end to receive
the sorted potatoes. That is all.
The elevator section is seven feet
long and raises the potatoes about four
feet from the floor. Another convey
or three feet wide and IL feet in length
and slightly sloping, carries the pota-
toes to the sacks. Four boys are to
work at the conveyor, two picking out
the large potatoes from one side and
placing them back of low guard rail
which runs them into an open sack,
and two boys working from the other
side will pick out the small potatoes
and place them back of guard rail
on that side and the conveyor will
carry them into sack at the end and
on the opposite side from the large
ones. The marketable potatoes of uni.
form size go down the center of the
conveyor to waiting sacks at the end.
A divider is so arranged as to turn
the potatoes first into one sack and
then another as the sack is ready for
them.
To operate the machine at top speed
will require one man to dump the po-
tatoes, four boys to do the sorting at
the conveyor table and one or two
men to remove and sew the sacks as
they are filled.
A half-horse electric motor operates
the machine, or a gas engine can be
substituted for the motor. The frame
is all Of steel and is mounted on roll
ers SO that one man can move II
around the warehouse.
Gearing Is arranged SO that the ma
chine may be run fast or slow, accord
ing to the needs in handling different
classes of potatoes. An adjusting de
vice provides for tightening or loosen
ing the draper belts when occasion re
Quires.
The sorter Is also believed to be
just as adaptable for sprouting pota
toes, as the hard wood sticks are just
far enough apart to permit dropping
the sprouts through as the potatoes
are rolled around on the conyeyor.

constitutional organization. according
to which the Russian state is ruled, is

proclaims the Russian republic.

position as president of the ministry
rather than of the republic.
