MCCULLAGH CALLS
INVESTIGATION FARCE

c. W. McCullagh. just back from
tour of month in eastern distributing
centers, declares the high cost of liv-
ing investigation as extremely farcical
and instead of beneficial to the con-
suming public is detrimental in that it
is resulting in decentralization of busi-
ness.
Mr.. McCullagh states that the in
vestgation now under way by federal
authorities is hitting jobbers and as
result apple distributors. afraid of the
future, are not buying to any large
extent. However, Mr. McCullagh is
not pessimistic. He is looking for a
good tone to the domestic apple mar
ket, when the professional politicians,
as he characterizes the situation. tire
of their anti-hgh of living agita-
tiOn.
THE jobber has been made the butt
of much of the Investigators energy
says MIR. McCullagh, when in fact
he is less of profiteer than any factor
in our system of supplying the food
needs of our country. His profits the
past few years have been less than
those of other businesses. In fact, the
| jobber has in many instances taken
heavy losses, but he has done so with
a good sportsmanship. In Washington,
d. c., the jobbing interests In "a body
were brought before congress Three
! jobbers doing business of over q
million dollars annually, each, showed
profit of less than $4,000. In the
frenzied farce in Cincinnati, the in
vestigators indicted the Bureau of
Markets office for issuing newsletter
with market quotations.
THE investigators will rush into
print with the news that certain cold
storage contains 1000 900 eggs. The
public is aghast. But did you ever
stop to consider that 1000, 600 eggs il
not any large quantity? 1t takes 800
eggs to make case. Do little dlvid-
ing and you will see what | mean.
You will see how the Investigator is
engaged in getting little political
hubdub Why doesn't the government
investigate the railway dining cars?'
Mr.. McCulagh does not anticipate
any shipment of high grade apples tc
England. He saws, however, that the
Association has sold quantity Of gooc
stuff to go to Scandinavian countries
He says that the Association has sole
as heavily at the present time as OF
the same date last year, and that bet
ter prices have been realized. The
agency has sold its 100 carloads OF
Bartlett and d'Anjou pears entirely
The manager, while no prices as yet
have been made public, SAYS the grow
ers will be decidedly satisfied.

there. He had made his summer re-

THEY CALL IT A
S1,OOO,OOO RAIN

Friday morning orchardists were cal
ling the local general precipitation a
thousand dollar rain. Saturday they
referred to as "The Million Dollar
Rain. The gentle downpour contin-
ued steadily from Thursday evening to
Saturday, and up to noon Saturday a
total precipitation Of l.28 inches had
been recorded by Leroy Chids. The
earth has been wet down to a depth of
several inches, and orchardists will be
able to begin fall blowing and seeding
of cover crops Immediately.
The heavy precipitation. too, 1t is
said, will result in a greatly increased
size of apples, and those who have
been holding to an estimate Of more
than 1900, 900 boxes for the season s
harvest will probably be vindicated.
With dust washed from fruit and foil
age the orchard districts were never
more beautiful than at present.

FIND BODY OF
MAN IN RIVER;
DEAD2 WEEKS

The body OF an unknown man, about
80 years old, was found floating in Sal
mon river, opposite the mouth of Cot
tonwood creek, in Idaho county, six mil
es from the Lemhi county line, Septem-
Der l, by Capt. Walter Guleke and party
of Salmon City, who were floating down
the river in a boat. Word of the dis
eovery was brought to Grangeville on
Thursday by Percy Anderson, a member
of the party, who reported details to
county officials
The man apparently had been dead
two weeks, said Mr.. Anderson. He
weighed approximately ITO pounds, was
5 feet, inches in height, and appeared
to be foreigner. He had red hair,
and his lower teeth were irregularly
set. Mr.. Anderson believed he was a
fire fighter who had wandered from
a crew in the Bitter Root National
forest, and lost his way. There were no
marks of violence on the body.
The men buried the body beneath a
pile of loose rocks, in the canyon of
Salmon river.
