tons In the army than any other sin
gle case. About Is per cent of all az.
plications for enlistment In the marine
corps In New York are rejected for
nat feet according to Captain Frank
T.. EYa1s. He places the blame largely
on the poorly constructed shoes worn
by the average toiler and on the fact
that most Of the victims have been
compelled to stand on their feet while
ut work. Motormen conductors, sub
way guards, policemen, machlnists,
walters and clerks are the principal
sufferers, according to Captain Evans.
There appear to be comparatively
few reflections In the army on the basis
or heart trouble, perhaps because the
most Of those who apply are young.
Tn the other hand, there Is u consider

these Is the condition known as tachy-

due chiefly TO excessive cigarette smok.

MINE OPERATORS TO
SLASH COAL PRICES
A DOLLAR A TON?
ILLINOIS OWNERS DISCUSS PLAN
OF REDUCING COST OF FUEL
SOLD IN WHOLESALE LOTS.

Chicago, July 24.-Voluntary solu
ton of the coal problem through a
reduction in prices may be made by H.
linois coal operators.
Following an all-day session behind
closed doors the joint committee APP
pointed last Saturday at meeting Oh
the operators with the state council
of defense and labor organizations adj
journed late in the afternoon to meet
today and continue its work.
While no announcement was forth
coming at the close of the meeting, Il
was learned that the operators have
under consideration the offer of plan
involving a reduction of 81 per ton
in present prices. This would bring
prices down TO $l.15 to $3.50 ton at
the mines.
1t is understood that this offer was
not mentioned in yesterdays confer
ence, however, practically the entire
day being given over to arguments
by them in support Of present prices.
Whether a fiat reduction Of 81 per
ton would prove acceptable to the
joint committee and to the state coun'
al - laf ,,,hfnb sn Il
any action of the committee before
it becomes effective, is matter of
conjecture. II is understood that there
was not complete unity of opinion
among the operators yesterday as to
the merit of the present price of coal,
Some admitted that prices were too
high, while others contended they
were no higher than they should have
been for several years back and were
not out Of proportion with other pro
ducts.
Yesterday the operators produced
an array of figures showing increased
cost of production They showed that
the price of labor has not only in
creased but that the available supply
has decreased and that the prices OF
repairs and practically all overhead
charges have Increased
Produce Cost Figures.
Figures produced were from the
seven coal districts of the state. and
because of differences in conditions
under which the coal Is mined in the
various sections production costs
varied. One point upon which the
opertors based their plea against a
reduction in prices Is that at present
they are saddled with many long time
contracts, made some time ago, which
were taken at low per ton price and
consequently at low profit. In some
instances these contracts are being
filled at an actual loss.
The conference is expected to con-
tinue throughout today and may last
tomorrow. 1t was said yesterday
that every effort would be made to
continue the sessions until the full
situation has been inquired into and
an acceptable agreement reached.

WILSON CALLS ATTEN-
TION TO ABSORPTION

While it was suggested last week by
Ashley Wilson, superintendent of the
Mt. Hood Railroad Co., at a hearing
before the Oregon Railroad Commission
of a petition of the company for Is
per cent increase of all freight rates,
that the management of the valley
line, to whose authority he would refer
the matter, might be willing to with
draw the petition in so far as it per-
tanned to apples, the company will not
pursue this course, which, according to
Chas. T. Early, the lines general man.
ager, would be highly improper.
I'VE believe says Mr.Wilson, that
our petition ought to go before the
Commission on its merits on all items.
If raise is granted it ought to apply
to apples as well as other supplies and
commodities. Some of the apple grow
ers have threatened to haul their ap-
Piles in vehicles and automobile trucks.
We cannot see how they would be BEN
Gifted by such action. Through volun-
tary petitions in 1915 our line and the
Union Pacific system arranged tariff
whereby all apple shipments originat-
ing on our point for far eastern destin-
alton are subject to an absorption of
the freights of our line. Our present
petition to the Oregon Commission
does not affect this. Well over rs per
cent of the fruit hauled by US is sub
ject to this absorpotin, and | do not
see why growers should go to an ex-
pense of transport ng their fruit by
wagon when the cost over our lines is
nothing, provided the product is des-
tined for far eastern delivery"

GRAIN CONDITIONS
WILL AFFECT FRUIT

Just back last week from North Da-
kota and other middle western points,
H. F. Davidson says that the hot, dry
weather that has prevailed over the
grain belts is taking a heavy toll of
grain. Mr.. Davidson says he finds
grain ranchers depressed over condi-
tions, and as a result he anticipates a
falling off in the sales of northwestern
apples in the grain belt the coming fall
and winter.
Because they were able to sell
practically all of their "C' grade fruit
to the grain farmers of this district
last year," says Mr.. Davidson, ''the
marketing situation of the year was
saved for northwestern apple shippers.
The poor crop conditions of this year
are going to hurt. However, Hood
River, with its small yield and an alb
sence of fungus and other diseases, is
going to be able to harvest one of the
cleanest crops in the valleys history,
and will not feel the effects of the
falling off in the middle western de-
mand for the low grade product, as
some of the other districts.

DEATH HREVEALSWYETH
MANS ASSUMED NAME

Following his death Saturdy at Wy
eth, neighbors learned that Henry
Grass was the real name of 55 year
old rancher who has resided among
them for the past Is years under the
name of Charles Gray.
A neighborhood feud in Illinois,
where the Wyeth rancher was reared,
resulted in fight in which member
of an opposing faction was injured.
Fearing the legal consequences young
Grass ran away and changed his name.
He was married and reared a family
of six children under the name of
Gray.
The mans secret, however, had be.
come known to his father-in-law,
James Gorton, Civil War veteran,
who also resides at Wyeth, here Satur-
day to arrange for funeral services.
Mr.. sGorton. who gave the true name
for the death certificate, says that he
has urged his.son-in-law to assume his
family rights, but that the matter had
been neglected.
Funeral services, directed by S. E.
Bartmess, were held Sunday afternoon
at the home, interment following at
the Wyeth cemetery. The deceased
rancher frequently visited Hood River
and was we'll and favorably known to
the business men of the town.
