Proof That He Is Misin.

Deal Is Demanded
Will Press Controversy
Refner Stands on Claim That
Babst Is Dominating Food
Administration

Claus A. Spreckels, president OF The
Federal Sugar Refining Company, OBJ
jects TO being called "misinforned" on
the sugar situation by George NJ.
Rolph, head of the sugar division OF
the United States Food Administra-
ton. He wants a bill of particulars,
and he is ready to press the contro-
versy to the limit. Yesterday he sent
q letter to Mr.. Rolph, to which last
night he had received no reply.
Last Friday the Federal Sugar Reiin-
ing Company charged that Earl D..
Babst, president of the American Sugar
Refining Company, was dominating
rather than assisting the food admin
istration and that through this domina-
ton the American Company had been
able practically to commander tne
greater part of this years Louisiana
raw sugar crop.
Mr.. Babst said yesterday he did not
wish to enter into any controversy Mr.
Rolph repeated what he had said peiore
that Mr.. Spreckels was "misin-
formed" To this Mr. Spreckels had al
ready replied in this letter mailed yes

Mr.. Rolph he tried to arrange Tor the
purchase of 100000 tons of louisiana
sugar TO relieve the scarcity. The deal
had not been consummated when other
rehners. notably the Federal, learned
that the sugar was to &c to the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining Company exclusive
ly. This created the present contro'
versy.
Il is the understanding in the sugar
trade that the independent retners, LED
by the Federal. will try to show tina,
"Babst is bossing Rolph," and not
"Rolph bossing Babst."
Because of inequitable and irreg'
ular distribution many grocers, oakers
small manufacturers and hundreds OF
individuals are still finding it impos-
sible to get sugar in New York and en-
virons. Refiners who have sugar are
naturally favoring their Oldest Gus

Not only have the professional and
commercial fishermen been most sue
cessful in their catches during the past
week, but amateur disciples of Sir
Izaak have been doing as well. Scores
of men. boys and girls have visited the
lower Hood river, and no one ever re-
turned without a handsome lot of trout.
Many salmon trout were landed and
some few steelheads.
Local spOrtsmen now declare that
Hood river is the best stream in all the
far famed Northwest, and after seeing
last weeks catches, their enthusiasm
cannot be disputed. The good fishing,
it is said, results from the work of the
city and the State Game and Fish Com.
MISSION in changing the course of Hood
river at its entrance into the Columbia
in down stream direction.
Among the most successful anglers
the past week was Earl Weber, who on
several days filled his creel with big
ones. Last Friday, accompanied by
his brother-in-law, Harry Wilson. of
Portland, Mr.. Weber went out for
few hours of early. morning fishing.
The big ones were striking so we'll that
he fished past lunch time, forgetting
that man ever gets hungry. But
sportsman does not, when the fish are
biting. Mr.. Weber delighted a num-
ber of friends Friday evening by pre-
senting them with fine messes of trout
for Saturday morning breakfast.
The prize catch of Sunday was made
by E. j. Middleswart, who landed a
DollyVarden just below the power dam
on Hood river, that weighed 81 pounds.
The big trout was 25 inches in length.
No finer trout has ever been caught in
Hood river.
j. R. Nickelsen and son, Donald,
spent the week end in the Green Point
country in quest of buck. They will
go out again the latter part of this
week, when the will go as far as Wah-
tum lake.
DR.. J. M. Waugh was much elated
Sunday morning and well he might
have been, for he landed 40.pound
salmon trolling at the mouth of the
White Salmon river. The big fish
fought for over 80 minutes.
Edgar Franz and Geo. W. Thomson
caught number of fine salmon trout,
ralnbows and Dolly Vardens on the
White Salmon river Sunday.
Frank Middleswart, of Mosier, has
been here for visit with his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. E. J. Middleswart and to
participate in the good fishing on Hood
river.
J. H. Fredricy and H. H. Larkin
spent Sunday fishing on Hood river
near the Butler place. Both caught
some fine ones.
