FOR FLOUR
M. H. HOUSER ANNOUNCES
THE PRICES THAT MUST
RULE FOR FLOUR

Announcement of the legal
prices millers will be permitted
to charge for flour in Washing
ton, Oregon and Idaho is made
in a letter sent by M. H. Houser,
of the United States Grain Cor
poration, to the press with a re-
quest that it be given wide pub
licity" and persons who are
charged more than the legal rate
for flour are requested by the
corporation to report the same.
The letter of Mr.. Houser fol-
lows:
To all Americans interested in
flour: In Zone 10, comprising
the states of Oregon, Washing
ton and Idaho, the carlot price on
140 pound jutes will be $10.25
per barrel, net cash, draft at
tached, delivered at any railroad
station in this zone.
The trade here being accus-
toned to buying flour in cotton
quarters, and eight barrel pack
ages, and paper packages not be-
ing available at the present time,
offers will be made in cotton
sacks. The price to the trade
in quarters will be not to exceed
$1,000, and in eights $1,000, at
mill, which will permit a retail
price at rate not to exceed $1,000
per barrel in either package. If
any dealer is unable to obtain
flour of this grade from his mill
at these prices, please advise the
local office of the United States
Grain Corporation, $40 Board of
Trade Building, Portland, Ore,
and we will see that it is made
available.
AS soon as paper bags can be
secured, it will be possible to re-
duce this price to the extent OF
the difference in cost between
the two packages.
Yours truly,
United States Grain Cor
poration,
By M. H. HOUSER,
Second Vice-President.

SHIP MORE HOGS

Howard Mckinley last week
shipped 8 thoroughbred Poland
China hogs to outside points. All
of these hogs were raised on
his farm. Mr.. Mckinley rece-
ives a large number of inquiries
every week from outside points
in regard to his swine and clear
ly shows that his thoroughbred
stock is regarded as the best to
be obtained anywhere. The
shipments last week were made
to the following: Austin Kelham
Troy, a SOW; G. w. Nolan, Reu-
bens, a boar; J. Weaver, Lenore,

servation lands after the ex-
plratlon of the trust period.
Senator Nugent, under date of
November 20, writes:
Il have your letter of Novem-
Der Fl, enclosing copy of letter
of same date addressed by you
to Mr.. French on the subject of
the taxation of Indian lands. l
have been given to understand
that the government is now con-
Quoting certain Investigations as
to conditions in the Nez Perce
reservation, and it is quite likely
that we will at an early date,
learn something as to what will
be done so far as the trust deeds
matter is concerned. | shall be
glad to discuss with Mr.. French
the matters referred to in your
letter to him.
Congressman French, under
uaCe OF november 70, writes:
Il am in receipt of your letter
of the 21st instant calling atten-
tion to the advisability of prov
iding way by which all Indian
lands, whether held in trust or
not, following November, 1920,
shall be held liable for taxation
purposes, and you cite legisla-
ton that has been had in the
Omaha tribe on the subject. l
shall at once check up on the
question and give my attention
to the subject"
Should a tax become assesable
on Indian property it will do a
great deal to lesson the tax burd-
ems on other property located in
sections where Indians own land.

FINE XMAS. PRESENT.

There is a certain family in
Cottonwood who is thankful to
the citizens of our little city and
surrounding country beyond
words to express. On Monday
of this week two gentlemen went
out with subscription papers to
raise funds for the family. In
less than five hours they had
pledged the following: $100 in
cash, SIS worth of meat, two
cords of wood, two sacks of flour
and milk for some time.
1t is not very often that one
has the chance to contribute to
such worthy cause as was CIV
en- the citizens of Cottonwood
Monday. This lady, who had
the misfortune to lose her hus-
band some time ago and left
with. little children has done
everything a true mother could
to provide for her little ones.
The contribution was given this
family as a Christmas present.

EVERYWHERE.

How would you like to Jump
out of bed any of these cold
mornings into ice cold water?
This is exactly what happened to
Frank Albers, bookkeeper for
the Cottonwood Milling Co.
Tuesday morning. Some time
during the night the water pipes
in his home bursted and flooded
the entire house unbeknown to
either Mr.. Albers or his wife.
In order to get to the shutoff,
Mr.. Albers was forced to take a
shower bath at the same time as
the water was spraying toward
the door that led from the bed
room, Now he was not the only
one that jumped from his bed
into the cold water. AS he open
ed the back door in the hopes
that some of the water would
find an outlet in jumps Miss
Pussy Cat who hoped to find her
usual warm corner behind the
stove when she too received all
unwelcomed bath. Frank says
he never seen so much water in
his life and that the thermome-
ter must have registered 40 be-
low zero. Now Frank may deny
this story but we received this
information from a most reliable
source.

RESIGNS
HIS POSITION
TOM PARKER TO ACCEPT
POSITION MADE VACANT
BY THE RESIGNATION

w. w. Flint, assistant cashier
of the First National Bank for
the past four years resigned his
position with the bank this week
and expects to leave by the mid
die Of next month for California.
The change is made on account
of advice from physicians that
he must seek a lower climate for
his wife and son who have not
been in the best of health for
some time, the altitude here be-
ing considered too high.
The news of his resignation
and departure of Mr.. Flint and
his esteemable family from Cot
tonwood will be greatly regret
ted by their many friends here.
Mr.. Flint at all times has tax
en- great interest in movements
that had the betterment of the
town and surrounding country
at heart. We known of no man
in Cottonwood who has spent
more of his time and money in
this cause.
Mr.. Flint's greatest achieve
ment, at least in our estimation
in public work was putting over
the Victory Loan Drive which
at first almost seemed impossi-
BILE and only through the most
ardent work on his part was
the county kept from not going
over the top. 1t was in this loan
that Cottonwood made such a
splendid showing.
Bank Regrets Resignation.
No one perhaps regrets his
resignation any more than the
First National Bank and on COM
menting on the resignation Geo.
M. Robertson, cashier said as
follows:
"On account of the delicate
health of his little son Weldon,
w. w. Flint has decided to sever
his connection with the First
National Bank and locate where
climatic conditions are less
rigorous, probably some point in
California. Mr.. T. B. Parker
has consented to enter the SER
vices Of the bank in Mr.. FIint's
place. While the bank manage
ment greatly regrets the loss OF
Mr.. Flint's conservative judg-
ment and valuable experience
they feel that Mr.. Parker's bust
ness acquaintance in this locality
has eminently fitted him to veal
the toga that circumstances
have forced Mr.. Flint to cast
aside. Mr.. Parker will need nc
introduction to our clientele anG
we feel exceedingly fortunate ir
securing him for so important g
place.
''Mr. Flint will be with us unit
about the middle of the coming
month"

At a meeting held by Cotton

resolution was unanimously pas
sed favoring the selection of men
who have paid the supreme sac
rifice in the Great World War,
for models to be used by a sculp-

ory of our departed heroes.
These statues according to the
present plans are to be erected

men who are living as models OF

WHAT WOULD
YOU Do Whit?
FREIGHT RATES ARE TOO
HIGH FOR SHIPPING
THE SHAVINGS

II you naQ .oOO OF 4OU cOfQS OF
wood that would be excellent
fuel you no doubt would feel
yourself very fortunate in these
days of fuel famine with the
weather man dishing out his
best Zero brand of colder than
blazes weather as has been the
case the last few weeks.
Not exactly so with w. B.
Hussme1 who, while he says
that his stack of Planning Mill
shavings represent a fuel value
of about that much wood, is
nevertheless, almost valueless
because of the form in which
these shavings would have to be
handled and the cost of getting
them to market. Mr. Hussman
made a trip to Spokane last week
to see about a baler and about
market conditions for this kind
of fuel and while he was salts
fled on both these points having
found a specially constructed
machine for baling shavings and
was assured of a ready market
for the fuel on the basis of it's
fuel value as compared to wood,
he had to abandon the entire
proposition because of the high
freight rate to Lewiston, Mos
cow or Pullman where he had
figured on marketing these
shavings. The freight from
Cottonwood to Lewiston on cord
wood is about 1925 per cord and
the rate on baled shavings about
$500 per cord, the shavings
would take the same rate as
lumber while the cord wood
would take a Commodity Rate"
which was established long ago.
No doubt a Commodity Rate on
shavings could be secured under
the present conditions of a fuel
famine but since this matter
would have to be taken up with
the Federal Railroad Administ-
ration which is about to release
the roads to their rightful own
ers and a thirty day notice must
be given before a special rate
will apply Mr. Hussman thinks
the entire project would drag
along until too late to market
the product this season, so if
you see a big fire some night in
the west part of town you will
know that this fuel has been re-
legated to the ash heap. From
our viewpoint this almost looks
criminal in view of the present
fuel crisis, yet what would you
do about it. No one is to blame
unless it is the Railroad Admin
istration who it seems should
haul fuel at the same rate no
matter in what form but the
present condition is somewhat
unusual, and no doubt this mat
ter could be adjusted if there
were sufficient time, and would
be if the fuel condition should
become critical to the point
where price is no longer a con-
sideration. Should such a con-
dition ensue the consuming
public would probably be glad to
pay the price that the present
freight rate would necessitate
but so far the fuel conditions in
the immediate territory forbode
no such calamatous condition.
If this fuel could be pressed in
to briquettes a ready market
would be found right here at
home but so far there is no ma
chine on the market that will do
this satisfactorily. While in
Spokane Mr.. Hussman engaged
the Union Iron Works to work
out a machine that he thinks
will accomplish this purpose and
we sincerely hope that it will
prove a success and thus help to
relieve the fuel shortage in
the future.
