Claim 1913 Crop Cut onc-HiLf and
100000. 900 Young Trees Killed
In Brazil Coffee Belt

San Francisco. Aug. 9.-Amerl.
can importers and domestic roasters
and handlers of coffee are powerless
TO stop the rise in the price OF cof-
fec according TO a statement issued
here by the Pacific Coast Coffee
RoasterB Association.
The statement declares that cir.
cumstances over which American
dealers have no control have forced
coffee prices to their present high
level The advance Is attributed
principally 10 the shortage in this
years Brazilian coffee crop which
owing 10 the severe frost OF July,
1918, will be cut TO one-half It's nor
NAL size. This depleted crop began
coming on the market about July /
this year and, according TO the roast
ers. will largely have 10 supply the
needs OF this country and Europe for
the next IL months.
Last years frost the worst exper-
fenced in more than a quarter OF a
century, out of total OF 500, ,000.-
900 trees in the Sac Paulo district.

Ing section of Brazil. killed 100. .0OO.-
900 young trees. More than, 3O0.-
900, 900. mature trees were so badly
damaged they had to be cut down
to the roots. Even under favorable
conditions these trees cannot be
made to yield a crop for three years.

SOME DRIVERS STILL
Try TO BEAT TRAINS

San francisco, Aug. 9.-''When
running at maximum permissible
speed on unrestricted track" said
r. ]. Clancy, assistant to general
manager of the Southern Pacific,
Western Pacific, and Tidewater
Southern, 'the average passenger
train obstructs a crossing less than
seven seconds, yet, judging from
crossing accidents. there are many
drivers of automobiles who misjudge
the speed of passenger trains or are
too impatient to wait that long and
as a consequence run into or are
struck by trains, resulting in ser
ious injury or death.
During the first six months of
1919, Is people were killed, 81 were
injured and 233 automobiles were
damaged or destroyed in grade cross
ing accidents. compared with 26
killed and 110 injured during cor
responding period in 1918, a de-
crease in 1919 of'3O.S per cent in
the number killed and of about SO
per cent in the number injured,
which, in view OF the increase in
the number of automobiles in 1919
over 1918, indicates that some pro-
gress is being effected in the preven-
tion OF such accidents.
"Of these 233. 80 stalled on the
crossing and were struck by trains;
III attempted to cross almost imme-
diately in front of and we're struck
by trains; 80 ran into trains; I
skidded into train: 10 ran into ad
broke down crossing gates lowered
to protect chem from passing trains;
3 ran into and injured crossing
flagmen; ran into cattleguards or
crossing signs; and 6 ran over end
of track or were not sufficiently in
to clear.

IDAHO MAN
LIKES OUR CLIMATE

j. II. Danllls. OF Fairfield. Idaho,
has purchased the Fred Knox alfalfa
ranch on the Applegate. and has
moved here with his family. Mr..
Danills had fine alfalfa and stock
ranch In Idaho, but the elevation of
5000 feet and the climatic condi-
tlons we're not satisfactory, so he
came here last March, looked over
conditions and was so pleased with
our climate that he returned home,
sold his ranch and thoroughbred
stock, and returned here In his tour
Ing car few days ago, shipping his
household goods by freight.
After looking over conditions here
more thoroughly. he selected the
Knox ranch for his future home, as a
desirable place to live with its new,
modern bungalow and the large acre
age of alfalfa thoroughly irrigated
as the place for his future thorough
breds.
Mr.. Danils was member of the
Idaho legislature. has been sue
cessful stockman, and is convinced
that this is the best place he has
found to raise registered stock and
hogs, while at the same time en-
joylng climatic conditions that are
unsurpassed.
Mr., Knox has purchased the Cud-
ding residence on North Fourth
street, known better as the former
Presley home, and will take posses
sion in the near future. Both sales
we're made by A. N. Parsons.

LUMBER SHEDS At BOX
FACTORY ARE BURNED

Fire which started this forenoon
in the sheds of the Pine Box Com
pany spread so rapidly that about
1900 feet of kiln-dried lumber
were consumed by the flames before
the blaze could be extinguished.
Some machinery was also destroyed.
Four automobiles left standing in
the shed, and belonging to employees
at the factory, were saved, the last
car taken out being somewhat
scorched.
The blaze was discovered about
IL o'clock, but before the fire de-
partment could reach the scene the
building and lumber was mass of
flames. Had it not been for the
new pressure pump recently pur-
chased by the fire department the
men would not have been able to
approach close enough to the fire
to check it. BY quick work the
flames were confined to the storage
shed and some nearby lumber. all
lumber in the sheds being total
loss.
Manager /. A. Robie is not certain
how the fire started but is Of the
opinion that some boys and a pack
age of cigarettes were responsible
| for the loss.

EDITORS FAVOR A
SPECIAL SESSION
Want Roosevelt Highway Aid Assur-
ed and Suffrage Amendment Rati-
fled; Worry Over Wages.

Portland. Aug. Calling OF a
special session OF the state legisla-
ture to ratify the national woman's
suffrage amendment was recon-
mended in resolutions adopted yes
terday at the close Of the annual
state editorial association convention
in the rooms of the Press club. The
editors also will petition the legis-
lature to enact measures which will
insure federal aid for the Roosevelt
highway and to remedy any legisla-
tive defects that now threaten to
keep Oregon from obtaining the full
benefits Of federal aid in highway
work.
The convention was attended by
nearly 100 editors here for the ma
tional convention.
At the close of the session c. e.
ingalls,. editor of the Corvallis Ca
zette-Times, was reelected presi-
dent.
The report that printers are about
to demand 81 an hour pay all over
the state was taken up by the editors
as It was felt this would strike small
Ter publications a vital blow. Sec
retary Riches said that a klamath
Falls editor had suggested to him
putting hnotypes in more OF the
schools Of the state and adding
courses in printing. The immediate
necessity for facing the situation
was put forth in order to head OF
what was termed an underground
movement" which Mr.. Riches ex-
planned was due to come to a head
within few weeks. He said print
ers are even considering a general
walkout.
M. c. Maloney and c. c. Chapman
spoke briefly on their views and Mr..
ingalls, suggested advertising in the
east to bring more printers to the
state at a lower wage. Several edi-
tors were of the opinion that a raise
must come either in the price OF cir
culation or of advertising.

FARMERS SEE HIGHER GRAIN PRICES,
DEMAND REPEAL OF WHEAT GUARANTEE

John A. McSparron, master of the
Penn Grange, urged an organization
to advise the American public of the
facts in the food situation as it ef-
fects the farmers.
''The department of agriculture
should have protected us, but 1t has
not done it," said McSparran.
'The people are kicking at pay
ing $2.26 for wheat, when they are
paying $36 a bushel in the form OF
shredded wheat. Corn is selling at
S1.90 and the people are paying s12
a Ibushel for 1t in the form of toast
ed corn flakes. The Quaker Oats
company made 104 per cent profit
on its investment last year"
Senator Norris said there was uni
veTsal public misconception of the
farmers interests in the food situa.
tion.
"The people think the farmers are
getting $2.26 for wheat and they
are not" said Mr.. Norris. "The peo
pie don't know they are paying enor
nous profits to the middleman."
A proposal by Senator Norris thai
Chairman Gronna and the represen
tatives of the grange organizations
issue a statement to the public Civ
ing the exact facts OF the food situa
ton was approved by the committee

Washington, Aug. 9.-Repeal of
the government price guarantee for
wheat to enable farmers to secure
higher prices was urged at special
meeting yesterday of the senate ag-
ricultural committee. Action by the
committee was deferred.
Senator Norris. republican, Me-
braska. proposed repeal of the price
guarantee and T. C. Atkeson, WASH
ington representative of the national
Grange. endorsed 1t.
Senator Norris, Chairman Gronna
and other committee members said
the wheat price guarantee law has
not been carried out. The $2.28
guarantee, they said, was intended
by congress to be a minimum price
with a higher price possible under
the law OF supply and demadn, In
stead, they assert. the United States
grain corporation had made the min
imum guarantee the maximum price
for the farmer.
Mr.. Atkeson told the committee
that the farmer would receive an av-
erage OF only $3.50 per bushel for
wheat this year. sHe and Senator
Gronna declared that had the gov
ernment fixed the price. farmers
would have received much more than
the guarantee because of the pros
pective wheat shortage and world
demand.

Washington. Aug. 9.-Republican
Leader Monden declared in the
house today that congress was ready
to act promptly on such legislation
as was needed to carry out the sug-
gestions made by President Wilson
for reducing the high cost of living,
although some members OF congress-
disagreed today with the specific re-
concentrations.
1t was believed that legislation
generally would follow the pro-
posals OF the president. The great
est opposition was to his suggestion
for federal licensing OF corporations
engaged in interstate commerce and
for the extension of the food-control
law.
Many opponents of the league of
nations criticised the stress laid on
ratification OF the treaty, some de-
claring that there is no connection
between ratification and the high
cost of living.
