FOOD NOTES.


Mr.. Hoover has sent out word to
the state food administrators to the
effect that the people should not
relax their efforts to conserve food.
Some people have been misled by
the relaxation of the regulations as
to -four, and have concluded that
the need Of conservation Is over.
Such is not the case. Farmers are
urged to conserve on feed for stock,
also. The corn crop has been cut
by the dry weather, and this means
less feed.
The sugar situation is still serious.
Merchants are requested to limit
their October purchases to actual
needs. The demand for canning
sugar has exceeded the quota allot-
ted to Oregon, and it will be nee
essary to save in October enough to
make up for that. The people are
urged to dry fruits which may be
dried, especially prunes and apples.
Limit the making Of preserves and
jellies to the minimum. Reports
are coming in from hundreds Of
families that they are keeping down
to the Italian allowance Of one
pound per month per person for
table use. This is practical patriot
ism. This kind of action is very re-
freshing in comparison with that Of
some people who are very careful
to buy the last ounce to which they
are entitled. As Webster said at
Bunker Hill, Nothing is impossible
to Americans"
s. E. NOTSON, County Chairman.

he will return to Heppner and be-
come an assistant in the Office Of the

1t is intimated that this work will be
over about the first Of the year and
the boys thus engaged will be taken
by Uncle Sam for other lines Of war
work, II they are not inducted into

Steel Mills Push
War Business
All Private Obligations Are
Waived to Meet Govern
ment Needs

Concentration of production upon the
immediate war demands, to the exclu-
sion of all other business, is the re-
sponse of the steel mills of the coun-
try to the more clearly defined magnl-
tude of the governments programme
"The Iron Trade Review" says that
new policies, put in effect this week
by leading producers in the Pittsburgh
district and elsewhere, represent actual
setting aside Of all private obligations,
temporarily at least. The largest Of
these interests now has closed its roll
ing schedules to everything by So
called "Class A" tonnage. Even in
direct war needs are being disregarded.
Another large independent steel inter
est has denied itself to open market
inquiries and has notified the trade
that promises Of delivery are not to
be expected. 1t is stated that in this
turn of affairs in the steel industry
is to be seen the most rigid carrier to
non-war consumption that has been
raised.
Plate mills throughout the country,
put to a test of their ability to supply
the shipyards, are, according to "The
Iron Age" showing remarkable out
puts, more than 10000 tons of plates
having been turned out in one week.
At this rate of production, it is as
serted that the mills will be caught up
on shipyard deliveries by early next
month.
In the steel trade, the coming Of
Charles NJ Schwab, of the Bethlehem
Steel Corporation, into the government
service as Director Genera of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation, is looked
upon as an important step toward
speeding up the industry to even
greater efforts. This week most of
the plate mills are running 100 per
cent on government and ally work,
ordinary practice cannot meet ship re-
quirements. Great Britain, it is stated,
is getting 5000 tons of plates week
to apply on the 100000 tons her yards
have to have in return for British ad-
vances of munitions and other steel to
the American forces in France.
definite moves will be made this
week." says THE Iron Age" ION the
project for the greatest American gun
plant, which the government and the
Steel Corporation will carry out in CO.
operation. the latter building the steel
works. The Pittsburgh district is a
suggested LOCATION and great projec-
tile plant is to be included. The largest
machine shop in the country will be
provided.
":The War Industries Board is urging
the railroad administration to take
Bessemer steel rails instead of open
hearth as far as possible for this years
renewals, so that all the open hearth
steel needed may be available for shell
and other war requirements. Some
what lighter rail sections are also sug-
gested, SO as to conserve steel. With
expected pruning, the total of do
mestic rails called for this year may
not exceed the total rollings of 1917
which included some large export
orders
Cotton tie prices for 1918 have lust
been announced, with no effort to gloss
over the fact of uniform price. At
s1.9o bundle of forty-five pounds, the
new, new price is 50 ton below the 1917
basis, being in harmony with the fixed
prices on other forms of steel"

Rock Island
Railroad Earned

Increase in Operating Ex-
penses Offset Gain in
Revenues

A heavy increase in operating ex-
penses more than Offset the gain in
operating revenues in 1917 of the Chi
cago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway
Company, according to the annual re-
port issued to the stockholders to-day.
Total operating revenue of the road
amounted to $50 ,608,722, an increase of
1913 per cent over 1916. Operating ex-
penses aggregated $66,046, ,104, an in
crease over the preceding year Of 1879
per cent. Net operating revenue of the
Rock Island totalled s23,562,617, de-
crease from 1916 of 8.7 per cent. The
balance of income after deductions for
interest, rentals and other charges, in
cluding $1,779,773 in dividends paid on
the preferred stock, was S5,747,o1l,
compared with $8,078,189 in 1916.
The report embraces the operations
and affairs of the company in the
closing me nths of the receivership and
afterward, under the reorganized cor
poration. Through the consummation
of the plan and agreement of the joint
reorganization committee the COM
pany passed out of the hands of the
receiver in June. The reorganization
was unusual, in that it was arranged
without sale, the property returning
to the original company.
According to the report, the field
work in connection with the physical
valuation of the property of the Rock
Island system conducted under the
Federal government was completed in
May, 1917, with the exception of the
right of way field work. The amount
expended in connection with this work
last year aggregated $174,95O. The
total expense incident to such valua-
tion to December 81, 1917, was $685.
557.
The heavy increase in operating ex-
penses reported by the road was large
ly accounted for by an approximate in
crease in cost of material other than
fuel of $2,825, 900, an increase in the
cost of fuel of $1,449,000, and an in.
crease in rates of pay to employees Of
S4,2O6,OOO. A considerable portion of
the increase in wages consisted of in
creases granted to train, engine and
yard service employees through the
operation of the Adamson law which
amounted to approximately s1,275,oOo.

Government Gets
More Than Half
Of Steel Output
Topping Tells Republic
Iron Shareholders Supply
for Regular Needs Is Short

Between SO and 80 per cent of the
country's steel output will be turned
over to the government this year for
war work, John A. Topping, chairman
Of the Republic Iron and Steel Com
pany, told stockholders at the annual
meeting in Jersey City yesterday AS
result of the expected demand from
that source, he said that there would
not be enough steel to supply the reg
ular needs of the trade.
81 cannot say at this time what per-
centage of our output in 1918 will be
for military purposes" said Mr.. Top
ping, "but it will be large amount
We may be compelled to make larger
expenditures for war account than
country. Whatever that calls for the
board of directors and the company
will make it,
In 1916 only 7 per cent of the COM
pany's output was for war materials
and last year 10 per cent was used in
of total expenditures from earnings on
$34,000,O00, Mr.. Topping said that
the company has been reborn and
remade." Unexpected appropriations
amount to approximately $3,000,000.
Mr.. Topping defended the govern
ment's price fixing policy by declaring
that it had prevented runaway mar
kct which, if brake had not been put
on it, might have been disastrous. 81
think we can conclude" he added,
that with a regulated market there
will be less values to liquidate than
there would have been under no con-
troll. Looking at it from that stand
point, therefore, price control is not an
evil feature"
Although the expectations are that
the capacity of the company's plants
will be occupied during the current
year at lower prices than in 1917, 1--WE
contemplate good year, with reasona-
BILE profits," said Mr.. Topping. He
stated that the recent Is per cent in
crease in the wages of the employees
payroll. He referred with particular
Liberty bonds, adding:
"Rccently we subscribed to $2,OOO,-
600, and we expect to subscribe to ST.
100000 more shortly for our employees,
who have already practically sub
scribed to that amount. When l tell
you that 70 per cent of our employees
are foreign-born and that only II per
cent of that amount are citizens
think it speaks we'll for our efforts to
help the government"
For the quarter ended March 81 a
surplus of s3,o21,06s was reported,
after. all charges, Including a provi-
with $4,346,927 for the corresponding
period of 1917.
