Washington, Sept. 25.-Food Admin
istrator Hoover and members Of the ag-
ricultural advisory body conferred to-
day on plans for holding down the
soaring Of pork and dairy products.
No result was announced, but it is un'
derstood that some means will be pro-
posed to keep the price Of pork to the
ratio Of l3 to l as compared to the
price of corn. The food administration
also still has under discussion with
dairymen plan to lower the enormous
prevailing prices for butter, which Mr..
Hoover says will ultimately result in
damage to the dairy interests If not
corrected.
On the local maket butter yesterday
was 63 cents, the highest price on rec
ord, as compared against Al cents a
wear ago. The raise is said to be
mostly on account of the government
having commandeered 60 per cent OF
the butter in cold storage. A local but
ter man states that should the butter
market 20 unchecked winter would see
prices at over dollar pound.

STATE HOSPITAL IS
SOUND FINANCIALLY
Superintendent Steiner Ex-
poets To Go Through Year
Without Deficiency

A balance of 1924, 1897 remains in the
maintenance fund of the Oregon state
hospital for the insane, according to
report submitted to the state board of
control by Superintendent Steiner.
The institution also has on hand sup
plies worth $96,06S, which is $57, ,5l2
more than was on hand at the begin
ming OF the biennium. This gives the
institution total of 1921 ,S99, or an
average of $26,536 a month for the bal
ance of the year.
DIR. Steiner said if nothing unexpect-
ed happens, his institution will be
able to get through the year without
incurring a deficiency. Two months
ago, he said, he had thought it would
be impossible to get through without
running behind, but since then better
returns than he expected have been
try and dairy herd and farm products.
DR.. Steiner reported that it was nee
essary to increase the wages of attend
ants from S. to $40 a month, and the
board authorized him to make such sal
aFy adjustments without filing writ
ten application with the board. The
board also authorized him to abrogate
the cid rule that at least two thirds of
the attendants employed at the insti-
tuition should be at the building all the
time. He said with the improved equip
ment at the institution, the fire dan
ger was greatly lessened and it was
not necessary to keep such large
force on hand at night. The day at
tendants who are married and have
their own homes will be permitted to
go home at night.
As the result of scientific test of
the value of Gil, and ccal and wood as
fuel, DIR. Steiner reported to the board
that he got much better results from
the use of oil.
The cost of fuel for evaporating
1000 pounds of water was as follows:
Oil, based on a price of $1.06 barrel,
was 26 cents, plus 1.5 cents for labor,
making a total of 27.5 cents; coal,
based on a price of $500 a ton, was
SO cents, plus cents for labor, MAX
ing a total of 66 cents; fir wood, bas-
ed on a price of $4 cord, was 80
cents, plus 3 cents for labor, making
total of ~ cents.
