PRESIDENT ANNOUNCES
COTTON PRICE BE FIXED

WASHINGTON-P Wilson
announced today that fair price for
raw cotton will be fixed if that should
be deemed necessary after the COM
mittee to be appointed by the war in
dustries board has completed is in
quiry into the general cotton )situa-
ton.
During the investigation separate
commission of three soon to be named
will buy cotton for the use of the
United States government and the
allies at prizes to be approved by the
president Since most of the cotton
of the country is required for war
uses, this government buying is ex-
pected to stabilize prices.
The president said that the purpose
of the investigation to be conducted
by the committee to be named by the
war industries board is to devise
methods for broadening the channels
of distribution and use of the great
stock of low grades of cotton now
unmarketable, for limiting
speculation and boarding and appor-
tioning foreign orders.

FOOD ADMINISTRATION HOLDS
UP SHIPMENTS OF PRUNES


SAN FRANCISCO order hold
ing up all shipments of prunes out
side the state for civilian consump-
ton pending a survey of the damage
done the prune crop by the prevailing
unprecedented rainfall, was issued by
the federal food administration for
California here today. The order was
issued to insure a sufficient quantity
to fill immense government contracts.
It was estimated by packers and
others that the rain would cause a
loss of between 25 and so per cent of
the total crop. The government had
contracted for 51,OO0,O00 pounds.
Oregon and Washington packers
and shippers were instructed by the
food administration to withhold ship
ment of prune orders for civilian uses

WHEAT SITUATION is
REPORTED TO BE ACUTE

At the weekly luncheon of the agri-
cultural bureau of the Spokane Cham
Der of Commerce next Monday, ac-
-cording to a story in yesterday
Spokesman Review, a special item of
business will be consideration of the
present milling situation and wheat
movement in the northwest. Millers,
farmers representatives and railroad
men are to be invited to present their
side of the problem. Conditions, it
is said, are acute.
"No wheat is moving because no
body is buying" said W. P. Romans,
secretary Of the bureau. "The mills
are unable to grind because they have
received no September orders from
the government. Their warehouses
are filled with flour that was milled
on August orders and the government
will not accept delivery.
Farmers can sell to the govern
nent, but they must deliver their
wheat to the warehouses on the Coast,
which the government has designat-
ID. It is impossible, because of rail
road congestion at the Coast termin-
ais, to ship grain to the Coast and
ft6t it unloaded Farmers who ship
direct to the government are forced
to pay demurrage on these cars while
they are standing on the tracks await
ing movements to the places where
they can be unloaded. The farmer is
assessed for something that is not
his fault and something he is power
leks to prevent"
The bureau hopes to have interior
warehouses designated by the grain
buying corporation to facilitate de-
livery by the farmers

USE OIL TANKS
TO HAUL WATER

Oil tankers delivering oil to Linn
ton, a suburb of Portland, are being
cleaned carefully and loaded with
Bull Run water for consumption in
Oakland and other California points.
Officials of the various oil compan-
les in Portland have not received any
instructions to ship water to CalifOr-
mia, but sometimes this was done
without specific orders to resident
managers.
"The water shortage in Contra
Costa county has become so acute that
heroic measures are being adopted to
meet the situation" said a Portland
citizen recently returned from Cali
fornia. "All oil tankers have been
ordered to clean tanks after unload
ing at Columbia river points and to
return with fresh mountain water.
The greatest amount of oil consumed
in Oregon is delivered to Linnton."
In Oakland a private water con-
Germ supplies the city. Residents are
buying water in five-gallon jars from
the grocery stores, paying cents
gallon. The water company has re-
stricted each family to Is gallons a
day for all purposes. No sprinkling
of lawns or war gardens is permitted.
School children of Oakland have
been instructed to carry boiled water
in bottles to school with them, and
all water must be boiled.

USES GOATS TO CLEAR
BRUSH FROM LAND

E. E. Mcdowell has a flock of six
ty Angora goats which he purchased
with the intention of using them for
clearing the brush from his land.
They are very pretty and are profit
able in more ways than one. After a
short trial period Mr. Mcdowell has
found that they come up to the spec
afications for clearing land They
eat every leaf on the bush within
reach and then use their horns for
pulling the higher branches down to
them They also tear the bark off
with their horns and eat it. Moth
ing short of bunch of cactus will
stop them and brush is short lived
where they are feeding.
The mohair is valuable, bringing in
the neighborhood Of $1.25 pound
or more, according to quality. Goat
flesh is edible and is considered very
good by many who have used the
meat for food. Thousands of acres of
