HOG FEED COMES HIGH

A record price for wheat was set
last week by the superior court
Judge at Colfax, when he rendered
Judgment of $243 a bushel for 693
bushels, which Geo. Driesell veal
thy farmer of that district fed to his
hogs.
Joseph Kuntz had stored his grain
of 1916 in a warehouse and Driesell
wanted to buy it for hog feed. He
offered the plaintiff rs cents a
bushel, but Koontz wanted 80 cents,
and the buyer to pay the warehouse
charges. Driesell was feeding a lot
of hogs and wanted the grain. He
refused to pay the so cents but of
fered to take the grain and feed it
and pay Kuntz the market price at
any time he decided to sell it.
The wheat was taken at intervals
as needed and when the price which
advanced steadily, reached 2.49 for
blue stem, Kuntz decided to sell and
asked payment. Driesell wanted to
settle on the basis of 80 cents and
the warehouse charges, the price at
which Kuntz had offered the wheat,
but it was shown that Driesell had
rejected that offer and the sale had
been made on the basis of the price
prevailing when Kuntz decided to
sell. The court held that this con-
tract was valid and allowed Kuntz
the market price less warehouse and
handling charges.

AMERICAN RAILROADS DO
BIGGEST BUSINESS IN HISTORY

Traffic on American railroads
passed the $4,OOO,OOO,OOO mark dur
ing the last year for the first time
in history, according to figures com
piled by the bureau of railway news
and statistics, made public this week.
The figures are based on official re-
turns to the interstate commerce
commission for the first ten months
of the year and on estimates for
the last two.
The gross receipts for the year
are placed at $4,188'227,lS a gam
of S451 $685. ,43S over 1916, but there
was a decrease of $91, ,S76,153 in net
income. Advancing costs OF fuel
materials and supplies, together
with increased wages, accounts for
the loss in net income.

EXPORTS SET NEW RECORD
u. S. HAS BIG GOLD SUPPLY
Exports Over $4,000, 100000 Last
Year-Large Trade Balance

American trade exports were esti-
mated this week by the department
of commerce. to have passed the six
billion mark in 1917, a new high
record.
Imports were less than three bill
lion and the trade balance in favor
of the United States probably will
be more than $3,150,000,0O0.
The country's gold supply showed
less increase than last year because
of the substitution of credits for
cash in handling allied purchases af-
ter the United States entered the
war. Imports of gold in March
amounted to 100000, but in No
vember were less than S3,000,000.
The total for the year was estima-
ted at $537 100000, compared with
$686, 100000 in 1915.
Exports of gold showed a heavy
increase over the preceding twelve
months, due chiefly to the large
movement to Japan, Spain and
South American countries. The to-
tai was estimated at 100000
compared with $155,000,000 last
year..
The trade balance of more than
three billion with the country at war
was regarded by officials as the
best evidence that this country has
the economic resources necessary to
defeat Germany.

GREAT NORTHERN LBR. co.
GOES ON 8 HOUR BASIS
Many Other Mills Cut Their Hours
New Order Became Effective
On January 1st.

An important meeting of North
west lumbermen was held in Spo-
kane last Friday. The eight hour
day was the main topic of discus
sion. Some twenty-odd mills of the
Inland Empire agreed to grant the
eight hour day, among which was
the Great Northern Lumber Com
pany of this city.
The eight hour day became effec-
tive on Tuesday. The local COM
pany is making arrangements to
start logging operations in a few
days on big scale and is laying the
plans for big run this season. The
Peshastin Lumber Co., and other
mills in this locality are understood
to have agreed on the eight hours
and it is thought that in the future
a better feeling will prevail between
employer and employee and that
there will be less labor trouble.
In the camps of the twenty lum-
ber companies of eastern Washing
ton who agreed to the hour day
the following notice has been posted:
'The undersigned lumber COM
panies of the Inland Empire, will in
augurate basic eight-hour day
which means net eight hours on
the work in all mill and woods oper
ations, January 1st, 1918.
"This action is taken at the re-
quest of the President of the Uni
ted States, thru Assistant Secretary
of War Frankfurter and Secretary
of Labor Wilson, and as a patriotic
effort on our part to demonstrate
the position taken by the govern
ment that increased efficiency will
overcome loss of production thru
shorter hours and not reduce the
output of lumber so vitally needed
in ship and aircraft production, for
railroad ties, boxes, mining material
and other government uses.
All men will be employed and paid
by the hour.
"Our employees should all under
stand this movement is in compli
ance with the request of the govern
ment. 1t is up to us as employers to
market our product in competition
with the south, which is working
longer hours at much less rates of
pay. 1t is up to you as employees to
assist both the government and your
selves by faithful work on the job.
Let us all work for the common
good, remembering always that our
supreme duty in the present crisis
is to uphold the president and the
government of the United States
and help win the war.
At this same meeting the West
ern Pine Manufacturers Association,
as an organization withdrew from
any participation in the adoption of
the 8 hour day in the camps and
mills of its members. Lumber man.
ufacturers of western Montana, east
ern Oregon and southern Idaho who
will retain their present working
day of ten hours, justified their
stand on the ground that the shorter
day would curtail consumption.

MERCHANT MARINE WILL
RECRUIT $4,000 SAILORS

w. j. Grambs, section chief in
charge of the government free ma
tional schools in Washington and
Oregon has received notice from
Henry Howard, director of recruit
ing for the United States shipping
board, that $4,000 men will be i'm
mediately recruited and that the
Northwest will be asked to supply "a
selected quota of men for crews in
the new merchant marine.
The director OF recruiting has re-
ports from field agents which lead
him to believe that some of the best
available material in the country for
the new all-American personnel of
the fleet will be fond in Washington
and Oregon.
There will be recruited altogether
100000 men for this service and the
first call will be for $4,000 men. Re-
cruits must be citizens eighteen
years of age and over who have
been to sea. AS there are. many
American citizens who may wish to
serve their country in the merchant
marine living in the interior as well
as in the coast cities, who have not
had sea experience, the applications
of such men will be taken. They
must be citizens between the ages of
21 and 81. Preference will first be
shown to men with experience but
those without experience will be ac-
cepted and will be schooled in
squadron training ships. Two of
these ships are already commits
stoned at Boston. Training plans pro-
vide for other ships with possibly
one stationed on the Pacific coast and
another on the Gulf although moth
ing definite has yet been decided as
to the ports at which they will be
stationed.
The men will be accepted for
training as seamen, firemen, oilers,
water tenders, cooks and stewards
and while undergoing training will
receive $50 per month as training
pay. Transportation will be fur
nished to the ports where the train
ing ships will be stationed, as well
as an outfit of necessary clothing
and board and lodging during the
training period.
When shipped for sea duty, they
will be paid the standard wage scale
of the merchant marine. Crews
crossing the Atlantic now receive a
war bonus of so per cent on their
wages making the earnings of sea-
men and firemen 800 per month;
ouartermaster or boatswain, S105,
per month; oiler and water tender
$97.5O per month and cooks as high
as S112.50 per month with food and
lodging furnished.
Each applicant for the service
should send his age and address to
w. ]. Grambs, $50 Stewart Building
Seattle or to Henry Howard, Custom
House Boston.

DILL NOT WANTED HERE

Congressman Dill offered to come
here and tell what he saw in the
war zone while in France last fall.
He was advised not to come. That
his reception would be chilly and
few if any wanted to hear hir". The
one pointed question that would
have been put to him had he deci-
ded to come was: "Why don't you
resign and cease to misrepresent the
people of the Fifth Congressional
District.

SIX ACRES YIELD $3.50

That an apple orchard is still a
paying investment is proven by the
following:
]. H. Cronkite of Trinidad has SIX
acres of bearing orchard, one fourth
Jonathan and three fourth Winesap
The past year he got a gross re-
turn of $3.50, having sold his crop
of 2SOO boxes at $1.60. 1t cost him
6 cents to pick and haul the apples
to the packing house, II cents fol
boxes and 10 cents a pound for pa
per. He did all the labor on the
ranch himself, except harvesting
and spraying.

DINING CARS SAVE FOOD

Railway dining car services of the
country during October and Novem-
Der saved 469,5OS pounds of meat,
23S,09S pounds of wheat flour and
25,699 pounds of sugar, according
to reports submitted to the food ad
ministration.
"These savings are the more re-
markable" says a food administra-
ton report for the reason that they
were made in spite of 20 per cent
increase in the number of persons
who were fed in dining cars in Oc-
tober and November, as compared
with the two corresponding months
of last year

The outcome in provisions ranged 37c decline to soc advance.
 Corn started down grade as soon as the market opened. Initial weakness was due mainly to confirmation of the unreserved character of Austria's plae. After a moderate break in values. however, commission house buying became of sufficient extent td cause a fair rally, but dwindled again when word was passed that independ- ent negotiations with Turkey promised to end soon. Throughout the day, bet ter weather and increasing movement of the new crop tended further to handicap the bulls Besides, Chicago prices were said to be above parity with certain other important shipping centers.

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-The trend .i today's stock market was down ward in the main on a pronounced contraction of dealings, both as to volume of trading and number of issues traded in.
 Various reasons were assigned for the change from the activity of the previous session, chief of which were the further calling of bank loans and uncertainty regarding the dividend on United States Steel.
