A notable example is seen in the supposed platiniferous sands of the Deschutes River, near Terrebone, Greg, which were examined by MT. H. c, Ferguson in October, 1917. Claims have been staked for several miles along Desohutes and Crooked rivers, and as certain volcanic sands along these rivers had been said to contain large percentages of gold and rare metals, particularly metals of the platinum group, MT.

much of their own supplies and pur- chased the remainder from Germany. Before the war they took only 800, 0,c00 tons annually from the Western Hem isphere. This year they have taken 100000 tons.
 Even with these shipments, it is pointed out, the supply in England and France has been inadequate, The consumption in England has been re- duced to 24 pounds a year for each person and in France to IA pounds, against 8 consumption of 55 pounds for each person here,
 It says that without the fixing cf prices by agreement sugar would be selling for 25 or 30 cents a pound here, and more than $206, ,000, 900 probably would have been taken from the American people by this time. The regulations for the sale of sugar were voluntary, as the Food Administra- ton has no authority to impose them, the statement adds,

 He emphasized the fact that to re- duce the supply sent to the Allies would imperil our chances of winning the war. He urges every one here to reduce still further the consumption of sugar. and predicts it will be cheaper next year than it is today.
 Mr. Hoover made several attempts to testify before the Committee on Manufactures after Claus A. Spreck- els and others had criticised the Food Administration for it's handling of the sugar situation, But each time he was denied a hearing,
 Saturday last was set for the Hoover hearing. but when the committee met, Senator Reed. chairman of the com mittee, announced he would hear Q number of the best sugar people who had come from the West and were anxious to return to their homes be- fore Christmas. He added that MT, Hoover could make his appearance Friday. This displeased the Food Administration officials, and MT.

 Mir. Hoover took the matter up with

 asked his advice about making public the statement. The President took the situation in hand and the state-

 In the opinion of officials the Pres ident's action is not so much of a slap at the committee as an express sion of his personal opinion that the

A PLATINUM FAKE" IN OREGON

The present shortage of platinum and the consequent greatly increased price of the metal bid fair to result in considerable increase in the. do- nestle production of platinum durins the. coming year. At the same time, while legitimate miners are inoreas- ing their production and to some ex- tent relieving the country's shortage, other persons are using the interest aroused by the present nationwide search for the metal to make extraVa- gant claims for utterly worthless de- posits, and some honest prospectore are led by false assays, made by inef- ficient or venal assayers. to believe mistakenly that they have valuable platinum deposits. Reports of plati- mum in some mythical combination volatile platinum or ''colloidal plat inum"-should be regarded as suffi- oient evidence of the incompetence or dishonesty of the assayer.

Forgetting the worries and cares Of
playground instruction, the workers at
the city Fairgrounds, journeyed to
Lake Conpounce, via the Conn. Com

successful "banqueet' was held. In

looked forward to by the boys and

vailed upon to act in that capacity.
While Jacks introductions of the
various performers were audible, there
was the same evidence of bashfulness
and timidity for which he is noted.

WAGNER'S ERROR
Wins FOR ROBINS
Honus Bungles on Throw in Thlr*
teenth and Champs Get Tally

Pittsburgh. July 26.--There was d
tinge of sadness in the defeat OF
Pittsburgh by Brooklyn in the thir-
teenth inning, by to yesterday att
ernoon. Not that the local citizens
minded the setback SO much. they
have become so accustomed to de-
feat that Pirate victory is looked
for only once a fortnight. What
made the beating SO sorrowful was
the fact that it was due pretty much
to old Hans Wagner
It was Hans, who. with two su-
perbas out in the thirteenth. dropped
a perfect throw at first and permitted
the winning run to streak across the
rubber. Jimmy Johnston made all
the trouble for the veteran. He
slammed a single to center and stole
second. Cutshaw sent a terrfnc
grounder at Debus, but the young
ster made a great stop and a fine
throw to Wagner. The latter let the
ball get away from him and while
he was fishing about for the horse
hide Johnston scurried over the plate
and it was all over.
The superbas deserved the game.
They outhit the Pirates by 13 to s
and fought all the time. They merit
ed the victory on their rally in the
ninth that scored two runs on four
hits and tied up the battle. -.
