A death which came as a severe
shock to a large number of Ashland
people occurred Monday when Allen
B. Gavin passed into the great be-
yond. Mr.. Gavin was born February
4. 1864, at Prairie Grove, Ark He
came to Oregon when about six years
old, the family settling near Baker
City. There he married sixteen years
ago and came with his bride to Ash
land, where they have lived up to
the time of his death. Besides his
widow, he leaves to mourn his loss
three 'sters and six brothers. He
had been member of the Methodist
Episcopal church and the Odd Eel
lows lodge but on account of being
connected with outside mining inter-
ests, which caused him to spend much
of his time away from home. he was
not connected with either organiza
tion here. The funeral services were
held at the Christian church yester-
day with Rev. Mellinger officiating
and Rev. Edwards of the Nazarene
church assisting in the services. In
terment was made in Mountain View

ticles of food. 1t would also tend to
prevent commission men from accumu-
lating larger supplies than occasion
warranted.
The law should also require people
holding staple products in storage to
make weekly reports of the products in
storage. showing the amount brought
over from the previous week, the
amount stored during the current week,
and the amount released and the bal
ance carried forward. If it was found
that any commission merchant was ac-
cumulating an unWarranted surplus at
a season of the year when stocks in
storage should be decreasing, the in
crease should be subject to weekly or
monthly tax of a sufficient amount to
make such an accumulation of sur

What is needed to meet situations
such as the present is not indiscrimi-

the government would take care of
them, but laws that will prevent them
from being preyed upon by unscrupu-
lous dealers, and that will enable them
to purchase the principal necessities at

natural law of supply and demand.

Odell S. Smith. speaking last night at the
annual banquet Of the Alexandra and

at the Continental Hotel. He said that
the railroads were not in any way to
blame for the situation. He did not know
by what laws these men could be reached.
but he said the laws of humanity should
cry out.
He told the freight agents that it was
up to them to see that the business men
of Washington and vicinity unload their
cars promptly and send them back to be
used in bringing coal and food to Wash
ington. He said that he had been told
that there were cars now standing loaded
in Jersey City which had been there for
year. The tracks are crowded with cars
loaded with munitions for the belligerents,

URGES CONTROL OF FOOD.
S. M. Brown Says Congress Should
Pass Relief Measures.

10 the Editor OF The Star:
During the present crisis in the food
supply situation. while government Of
ficials and statesmen are running
around in circle in a fruitless search
for remedy and urging appropria-
lions for some long -drawn-out investi-
CATION which gets nowhere, why not
adopt some measures that will go di-
rectly to the seat of the difficulty and
afford immediate relief by releasing
large quantities of food held in storage
for higher prices or to maintain the
present high prices?
What is needed at the present juno
ture is law that will vest authority
in some officials, such as market su-
perintendents, to fix the retail prices of
some of the staple articles of food, such
as potatoes, cabbage, eggs, meats. etc.
Congress can in a day pass such law
to meet conditions in the District of
Columbia, and the states can enact
similar laws to apply therein A pen
should be fixed for any violation of
schedule of prices fixed by the proper
authority.
For instance. if the official having au-
thority to make market regulations in
the District should today issue notice
to the effect that the retail price of po-
tatoes during next week should not ex-
coed IS cents per peck; that during the
week following the price should not
exceed 10 cents per peck; that during
the next week the price should not ex-
coed 65 cents per peck. In other words,
establish a scale of declining prices.
This would force those who are holding
potatoes iii storage to put them on
the market s fast as possible, in order
to obtain the higher prices, and would
also tend to prevent those wishing 20
buy from buying more than they need
ed. because they would be assured of
getting them cheaper later on. There is
no reason to believe but that the same
plan would work with other leading ar
