Oroville is to celebrate the 4th of
July this year. If things are pushed,
some Of its younger inhabitants will be
celebrating where lodging shrapnell
and bombs, and not always getting
away with it, will be the game, with
little spread eagle and not a particle
Of fun attached.
The Bowen Auto company of Tomas
ket had shipment of Ford cars get
in as far as Nelson during the earlier
part of last week, and instead of wait
ing the slow process of moving trains
Mr.. Bowen took force of men to Mol
son and ran bunch of the cars down
to Tonasket, Monday.
Father Terroux, of Carmi, B. c., was
brought to Oroville last Friday and
placed in the Oroville General hos
pital. The reverend gentleman is suf-
fering from stomach trouble and was
treated at his home by Dr. Lewis some
two or three weeks ago. He is here in
order to receive professional nursing
and constant medical attention.
DR.. A. l.. Garrett, an osteopathic
physician, who has been practicing in
Oroville for almost year, left to join
her sons at her old home in Wisconsin,
Monday. The lady was very proficient
in the line Of practice that she follow
ed. and enjoyed considerable practice,
but the coming on of the war, with it's
uncertainties, caused her to return to
her boys. grown up young men, as
some of them might enter the SER
vice.

Of the saw and hammer have made a
great transformation in the ground
floor Of the old Peerless hotel building
at the corner of Main street and Cen
trail avenue. They have torn the lima
ards out of the south rooms, and the
old structure, so long vacant, is to
have tenant. The Bowen company of
Tonasket will open an up-to date gar
age and automobile supply stock in the
big room made by tearing out a petit
ton and throwing two store rooms into
one. The firm has an excellent location
on the principal business street, and
ample and convenient quarters.

Russia to Establish
State Coal Monopoly

The provisional Russian government
has decided to establish a state coal
monopoly, dating from July IA. At
first the monopoly will be confined to
the Donaetz Basin, in Southern Russia,
which is by far the most important
coal district of the country. containing
1900 mines. The purpose Of the mo-
nopoly is to supply the internal mar
ket more equitably. prevent specuia-
ton and establish prices which, while
preventing undue profits. will enable
the running of the mines without loss
under the present high scale Of wages;
The Ministry of Trade says there VIII
be a large economy in transport as a
result of compulsory consumption on
the spot Of coal of low heating quality,
leaving the better coal for distribution
throughout the republic. The govern
ment will allot $4,000, 900 working cap
ital for the monopoly. Profits will be
used for the acquisition of machinery
and for increasing otherwise the tech
meal efficiency Of the mines.

AS to Fixing Steel Prices

The idea that government price reg
ulation in the iron and steel industry
may become desirable rests upon two
widely separated considerations. The
one is that consumers of steel may not
be able to continue their business in
the manner best calculated 70 preserve
industrial activity for the good of the
country at war. The other is that coal
price regulation seems certain and that
controlled coke prices are almost a
corollary, but if coke prices are regu-
lated, the question comes up, Why not
pig iron in turn and then the most fin
ished products?
Thought on this subject is naturally
in a very inchoate stage The market
situation is in such chaos that one IS
likely TO grasp at ideas promising re-
lief without following them TO their
necessary conclusion. The word reg
ulation" has an alluring sound. 1t is
very nice to have everything regular
and smoothly operating, but when the
condition is analysed it is seen at once
that what is needed is regulation
of industry, Of the flow Of material,
and regulation Of prices does not &C
complish that, for the very simple rea-
son that price regulation refers to
business that is still TO be done, where
as the present confusion arises from
the amount Of business that has been
done on paper, and awaits the carrying
out by actual production and shipment
Of material. II the flow OF mate
rial due against existing obligations
could be regulated the condition OF the
steel consuming industries could be
improved. and Il Is possible that some
IMPROVEMENT could be effected by con-
fning the movement Of the cruder ma
terials. or raw materials. 70 the con-
tracts that are in legal effect
II is difficult 10 see how the fixing o.
maximum prices for this commodity or
that could make the conduct of bust
ness more orderly. In the finished
steel products there are no producers
who are not already filled with orders
requiring the product Of months to eX-
ecute. To fix maximum price at when
sales would be permitted might simply
prevent sales being made at all. while
If the producer were really willing to
sell there would have TO be an author
ity to determine to whom he should
distribute the material he was willing
to sell. If at the present time there
were more material offered than in
ouired for the market would be a de-
clining instead of an advancing one.
Regulation of the industry in the
proper sense of the word. then, would
be regulation of the execution or or.
ders now on books, and regulation OF
the tonnages. deliveries and buyers Of
the material to be sold in future. That
is a much larger proposition than the
proponents of government price fixing
have in mind.-The Iron AGe.

Ind u trial


Nervousness over the proposed inclu-
sion Of cotton in the food control bill
was chiefly responsible for another Sc
we're break yesterday in prices for that
commodity. October contracts sold off to
2435, making a decline Of $5.25 per
bale from Mondays closing figures and
OF Sl3.25 per bale from the high rec
ords of last week. Partial recovery
from the low prices of the day resulted
from covering by shorts for over the
July Fourth holiday. October recov-
cred to 25.15 and closed at 24.9s, with
the general list closing steady at losses
Of 38 to 46 points.
Reports from the Southwest indicat-
ing improvement in crop conditions
tended 70 stimulate some selling.
There was much discussion OF the
probable adoption of plans for regulat..
ing trading and the distribution OF
supplies, but the trade was all at sea
as 10 steps that are likely to be taken
in this direction.
No exports were reported. Southern
spot markets were unchanged TO 10
points lower.

prophecy that il the war continues and
the present policy OF the Swedish gov
eminent is not changed the Swedish
wood-pulp manufacturers will find that
the times when they sold America up
ward of 100000 tons of pulp a year are
gone forever.i
Sweden was for many years preced-
ing the war the most important source
for high class chemical nevs-pulp ex-
ported TO the United States, France,
England and Germany. The United
States imported 165,3a tons OF II in
1914 and made heavy contracts for its
delivery in 1916, but the manufsetur-
ers protested against flling these con-
tracts at the prices fixed. and in some
cases more than doubled them.
L. 5. at Mercy of Sweden
The American buyers at first de-
clined TO pay the advanced prices, and
negotiations were in progress when the
Swedish government in January last
placed the American importers at the
mercy Of the Swedish manufacturers by
prohibiting exports Of wood-pulp eX-
cept by license. These licenses could
be issued only to the sellers OF pulp
not TO the buyers. and the manufaet-
urers refused TO ask for licenses un-
less the prices they demanded were
paid.
Some American buyers gave in and
met the advance. Then came another
blow. The Swedish authorities dis
covered that England was buying Swed,
ish 'pulp in America, Spain, Italy and
France in order to circumvent the
Swedish embargo on the shipment OF
wood-pulp to that country. English
buyers were paying as high as Sl2b a
ton. Il was 10 prevent England from
making these purchases that the Swed-
ism government demanded the guaran-
tee that Swedish pulp would be used IN
the country 10 which II was hrst
shipped
Since the American buyers left the
Swedish market Germany may have
taken some of Sweden's surplus, but
the exact figures are not available. The
remainder is accommodating In Swedish

DESPITE confusion as to prices owing
70 the uncertainty as 20 the govern
mcnt's attitude, THE Iron Age this
week records some good sized advances
Pig iron is generally - ton higher;
prompt furnace coke has sold at $lo'
or a rise Of 50; leading makers oil
wrought iron pipe have raised their
prices SO TO SIC per ton; light rails
have been advanced by $40 to S15, and
railroad spikes and track bolts by 50
70 $40. while some makers of rivets and
bolts have quoted 10 per cent higher
within the week On the other hand,
the overhanging Of government control
has been plainly factor in the scrap
ron. which in Western markets mas
slumped 81 to 81 a Son.
In view of the labor troubles at the
mines. the leading copper producers
refuse to quote prices for nearby de
liyeries. Business is practically at
standstill. with some concessions beins
