by the Elgin FIGURING Mills Co, at

].
The Toppenish Cooperative Eleva-
tor Co., has let the contract for so
600 bushel elevator at Toppenish,
Wash, on a 10 per cent commission

Frank E. Ford, one of the best
grain statesmen in this territory, has
Joined the Globe Grain & Milling
Co.'s staff as manager of the Seattle
office, succeeding j. H. Noyes, who
has returned to Portland to look af-
ter the grain department.
A syndicate of well-known flour
milling men headed by Samuel Glas
cow, formerly of Spokane and presi-
dent of the Pasco Milling Co., has in
corporated under the name of the
Rose City Flour Mills, with a capital
of $4,000 and taken over the Jobes
FIGURING Mills at Portland, Ore, M.
G. Russi will be manager. Extensive
improvements are being made and
capacity VIII be increased from 500
to 1000 barrels daily.
Flour millers who made excess pro-
fits during the last fiscal year, as
charged by the federal trade commits
sion in its report Saturday to the
senate, must return the amount of
such profits to the government in
the form of milled flour, under regul-
ations made public Monday by Food
Administrator Hoover. The millers'
books will be balanced as of June

After a conference in Washington,
d. c., participated in by Pacific north
western grain interests and Mr.. Hoov-
er and Chairman Barnes of the grain
corporation of the national food ad-
ministratiOn, the following telegram
was sent to Charles Hebberd, food adj
ministrator for Washington
1T is understood that the ship
ping board of the national food ad-
ministration finds that the rate OF
$3.50 per ton made upon wheat from
Pacific coast ports to the Atlantic
has proved to work out at loss and
that the board will find it necessary
to advance the rate. The matter is
still under consideration. Further
more, the insurance rates on both
ships and cargo have been tremen
dously advanced and the insurance
rates on wheat products have in
creased by virtue of submarine acti
vities on the Atlantic seaboard, fur
Their increasing the cost of the sea
haul from Pacific northwest ports tc
Atlantic ports The net result is
that it may cost as much as II
cents a bushel more than has been
contemplated. In the meantime the
advance in railway rates may in
crease the price of wheat in New
York some 10 to - cents a bushel
The food administration intends tC
maintain the 1920 price at Pacific
ports despite the increased cost o.
sea haulage.

MARKET AT SPOKANE.

Business generally is learning to
adapt itself to the frequent and rad
ical changes necessitated by war
conditions and requirements. In fact
there is practically no industry or
trade of importance that is not now
dominated by the government and it
is no longer a question of how much
civilian business is offering, but
how much may be consummated
without interference with the press
ing federal requirements.
In this section the wheat crop out
look continues good in the main,
though the rains of nearly two weeks
ago were not general and there are
some sections that still stand in need
of more moisture. Nevertheless a fair
crop in the Inland Empire seems as
sured which at prevailing prices
means continued prosperity. Mining
and numbering continue fairly active.
Provisions.
Butter-Local quotations are I'M
changed and steady at the recent adj
vance to 4S@46 for creameries.
Cheese - Quotations are without
material change. Offerings are suf
ficient to meet moderate demands.

week, $10.SO@11.00 to the producer
and $12@12.5O wholesale. Produc-
ton not heavy with market firm

Broilers and springers plentiful.
Ducks, geese, and turkeys nominal.
Fresh Meats-Receipts of hogs
have been light and quotations are Is
to 25 cents higher. Steers are steady;
COWS and heifers are lower. Sheep

There have been corresponding re
adjustments in dressed meats; veal is
scarce.

Hides and Wool-It is reported
now that the government will take
all the wool of the grades it desires
that is available. Prices here are un
changed at 45@54 cents. In hides
there is a normal seasonable supply
Offering and a good demand at al
most maximum prices, but no change
in quotations.

Washington, D. C.-Congress settled
July 6 the longstanding controversy
over the government guaranteed price
of wheat by approving a price of $40
as a substitute for $3.50 as contended
for by the senate. The senate &C
cepted without debate the substitute
previously adopted in the house, and
sent the measure to the president for
his signature. President Wilson will
veto the bill.

Luther Fountain, who lives up IN
the Bear Creek Mill quarters, has
been sufferer for the past six weeks
from blood poison in one leg, which
started from a sore gotten while
working in the pond at the mill. 1t
has shortened up his leg and caused
1t to shrink considerably, as it now
appears, which comes hard for him
as it is, with wife and several small
children to support and dependent
upon his daily labor at manual toll.
Charley Box, who is in the draft
age, made trip to Hattiesburg the
fore part of the week to go before the
district board for special physical
examination account slight scar on
his leg from an old hurt. Several
of the big doctors looked at it and
pronounced him sound, so he stays
in class A, and says he will be glad
when they call for him If he has to
go, he wants to go on; the quicker
the better.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Senator James H. Brady, of Idaho died of heart trouble yesterday. He was ta ken sick a week ago, and his condi- tion had been critical ever since.
 Senator Brady was a Republican, born in Pennsylvania, and educated in the public schools and the Leav- enworth Normal College of Kansas He taugh school three years, edit ed a paper three years, engaged in business and moved to Idaho in 1885. He was a member of the board of trustees of the Whitman College at Walla Walla, Wash; chairman of the Idaho Republican Central Com mittee from 1904 to 1908; member of the national convention commit tee in 1904 and and to notify the President of his nomination in 1908; elected Governor of Idaho in 1908; United States Senator by the Leg islature in 1913, and reelected a Senator by direct vote Nov. 3, 1914 His term expired March 3, 1921.

but the necessity of the hour has been plainly stated over and over again from press and platform and campaigner. If any person does not now understand what that need is, a reference to the Home Card will give it. Anyone who has lost the Home Card which was dis bursed to her or who has not yet had it, can obtain one by applica- tion to the chairman sof the Food Saving Committee in his or her community or by applying ito the office of the Federal Food Admins trator in Juneau.
 The real hope of the Food Ad. ministration lies in the intelli gent, cheerful and willing coop. eration of the people in the coun. try along the lines indicated on tht Home Card, and the housewives car be of greater assistance in this mat ter than any other individual, foi in their care is the marketing ano preparation of the food.
 Heretofore, Alaskans, as well a: citizens of other states and terri tories, have striven at economy il the matter of food in order to pro tect the pocket-book The fooe conditions in the world today due to the withdrawal of million' of men from pursuits productive foodstuffs in order that they mighf become defenders of democracy: tho cutting off from ourselves and our associates in the war of practically every food market in the world oth CT than those of the United States and Canada, and the destruction oi enormous quantities of food and food-carrying vessels by the sub marine warfare, has brought us ir the U nited States face to face with a new problem, namely, that O real self-sacrifice and denial whicf should, and in reality does, either directly or indirectly affect each individual man, woman and child ir the entire world.
 We are now called upon to save not the elusive rolling dollar that all humanity has chased for so many years, but certain foods which ii the individual is not now willing tC save by the curbing of his or her own appetite, will soon be beyond the power of money to purchase for these foods will then have beer consumed and unobtainable. It is unnecessary to reiteratC |hy these foodstuffs are necessary to be conserved for over seas use The Home Card in your kitchen vii tell you that.
