JONES FAMILY HAD
LONG AUTO TRIP.

d. w. Jones and family returned
Sunday evening from trip through
Montana on which they had been alb
sent since the 9TH of June. The trip
was made in Ford car and accord
ing to an accurate record kept dur
ing the entire trip, they averaged
fraction better than 10 miles to each
gallon of gasoline.
They travelled in all nearly 1000
miles stopping several times to visit
with friends and to view many inter
esting places. The story of the trip
as related to Mr.. Jones to Dispatch
reporter is very interesting. 1t fol-
lows in his own words:
"The first day we Travelled as far
as Spokane. Travelling through Sand
Point, Troy, and Bonners Ferry, we
reached Libby the first day after
leaving Spokane. The road from
Spokane to Sand Point is little
chucky but not bad from Bonners
Ferry to Libby, Montana. In Mon
tana the roads were in first class
shape. From Troy to Libby think
the most scenic route of all the trip.
The road was narrow but very
smooth as they extend along the
mountain side, | should judge about
1000 feet above the water of the

It Libby about nine o'clock in the
evening where we visited with our
friends, David Brimble and family.
They were running a hotel at that
place. The next morning we left
for Kalispell, distance of 9S miles,
and most of all the way through a
dense forest. This is wonderful
trip. We passed no towns for SO
miles but followed a river and nu-

The war has brought to light an
unusual industry in Columbia count
I, Wash, where locust trees are be-
.ng cut and manufactured into wood
IN nails used in the construction
Of ships for the government. One
contractor has orders for more than
100000 of these nails which vary in
length from a few inches up to two
and one-half feet. Locust trees are
said to make a nail superior even to
oak. The demand for the timber is
shown by the fact that this con-
tractor pays $40 cord for the trees
as they stand. He cuts the trees him

not suitable for nails for the owner
Of the grove. The timber is cut into

PRICE OF WHEAT
IS STILL UNSETTLED.

WASHINGTON, Aug 29.-Another
prolonged session today failed to
bring the wheat price committee to
conclusion as to the price of the
1917 crop.
When an all day meeting adjourn
ed tonight it was announced the
committee would go into session "a
gain tomorrow with prospect OF
fixing a price before the day was
over. To this brief announcement
DR.. G. A. Garfield, the chairman, adj
ded the statement that the committee
is weighing every consideration
carefully and that all questions are
receiving serious study.
Reports persisted tonight that
wide difference of opinion had de-
veloped as to what is a fair price.
Ehe committee several days ago a.
sreed that it should require three
ourths vote to get any figure. Re-
'resentativcs of the producing in
erests, it is said, are holding out for
, price higher than other members
ire willing to concede.
Wilson Will Announce Price.
When the price is finally deter
lined the committees recommend
lion will be transmitted directly to
resident Wilson and the price will
e announced from the White House.
his plan drew the suggestion to-
light that in event the committee
annot agree two or more figures
light be given to the president and
/ decision left to him.
Senators from some of the princi-
,al wheat growing states had a con-
erence today with President Wilson
bout general conditions in the
wheat country and prices to be fixed
or wheat of the 1917 crop. Senat
'rs Curtis, McCumber, Sterling and
Aellog were present. Sterling said
hat they asked the President to see
that the wheat growers Of the north
vest be given price for their 1917
product based upon the law of sup
ply and demand.

PACIFIC NORTHWEST NEWS

state of Washington have announced
that practically all of the mills will
shortly cease operations because OF
"siump in the lumber market"
Just at time when it was thot thai
the lumber situation in the state was
in good shape and that the industry
was in for period of prosperity
comes the announcement that the
mills will close. Of course suffi-
cient number will be kept going to
take care of government orders, but
these, according to the lumbermen,
will not call for the operation of
many mills, as the orders to date
are not large. 1t is undoubtedly
true that labor agitators are to some
extent responsible for the action OF
the lumbermen, although the latter
announce that the move to close
down is not concerted one on the
part of the owners. However, il
is evident that if the labor agitators
had kept out and permitted the lum-
bermen to go ahead at fair profit
to themselves they would have kept
the mills going and thousands OF
men would have had employment
at fancy wages. The labor agitat.
ors, however, stepped in and laid
down conditions that it was abso.
lutely impossible to meet. Strong
pressure was brought to bear to
make the lulnbermen accept the
terms of the labor agitators, but tho
owners refused to have their plants
financially wrecked just to satisfy
the |. w. w. element, hence the
shutdown.

0U|MET SQUARES MATCH
WITH PRO" NJ. ]. BRADY
Former National Open and Amateur
Champion 0vercomes Lead Of
6 Up in 70 Holes.

BOSTON, Mass, August 22-Frzncis
Ouimet the former open amateur and
national open champion Of the United
States, and M. ]. Brady. the Massachu-
setts open champion, of Oakley. played
the final thirty-six holes of their seven
ty-two-hole match play contest for the
benefit of the Red Cross at Woodland
yesterday.
Brady gained a. lead Of six up last
week at Oakley and after the morning
half of their match at Woodland yester-
day was in the same commanding posi-
ton. In the afternoon Ouimet came into
his own and evened the match before the
home hole was reached. II was what
his followers expected. but not in the
way il was done His followers figured
that Ouimet could gain three holes a
round over Brady. but never six in one
round, SO that when the morning half
showed Brady leading by his six-up
margin they gave up hope for their
favortte.
Ouimet was not to be denied, how
ever, and in the afternoon half and final
half of the seventy-two hole contest
when he gathered in the six holes he
was minus, every one thought he did
well TO finish all even against one OF the
best professionals in the country
With Brady leading by the same mar
gin as he had gained at the end OF
thirty-six holes when ffty-four holes
had been completed IL looked like a GER
tain victory for the open Massachusetts
champion. On the final round Ouimet
lived up to all his former performances
as a great finisher and finally squared
the match.
