Pennsylvania and New York to confer
with the senate agricultural committee
in his office. The senate committee has
also considered palmer's proposed
amendments before it.
One amendment provides II jail SEN
tence for food profitters, which Palmer
plansto fight hard to get passed. No
penalty is provided for punishment of
proftcers convicted under the Lever
food act, although hoarders may be sent
to Jail; fine $4,000, or both.
Palmer today was also studying agri-

Following his appearance before the
house committee today, Palmer was to
confer with committee of the SEN
ate agriculture committe over lcgsla-
tion to fix profits on food clothing and
other necessaries, plan which senators
as well as house members, arc seriously
considering,
cnators are now searching for somc
way to apply this principle fairly to all
lines of business and to allow for the
different percentages of profit which
should be considered reasonable.
Sentiment for this sort of drive on
the high cost of living developed in con
gross when Attorney General Palmer
proposed his amendments to tine food

WORK ON PAPER MILL
MOVES ALONG RAPIDLY
Pouring OF Concrete Found
ations To Begin Thursday
Is Announcement.

Pouring OF the concrete foundations
of the half million dollar paper will
will begin tomorrow and from now on,
there will be real evidence that Salem
is really to have one of the finest pa
per mills in the west, and as far as
modern equipment is concerned, moth
ing better in the whole country. Jos
eph kastner, superintendent of the mill
who has been in the business about 80
years says the Salem mill will have a
paper making machine that represents
the latest 1919 ideas in building, su-
pcrior in many respects to the best
machines in the east.
The banks of the creek have all been
shore0 up in order that there may be
no danger to the workmen. Along the
creek bank. it was found necessary to
build reinforced concrete retaining
wall 30 feet high to prevent any wash
ing of the bank in the direction of the
mill foundations. This work has al
ready been partially done
The contract for the erection of the
paper mill, Sc by 275 feet, has been
let by the Oregon PULP and Paper com,
pany to G. Van Patten & Son. The
work has been delayed to some extent
by the difficulties encountered in NOV
ing the old elevator building from its
present site to the foot of Trade
street. 1t was discovered that the old
elevator had been built out of extra
heavy timber. But it is thought that it
will be novel out onto Trade street
this week.
In order to be assured of no danger
from high water, the mill viii be plae-
ed on piles at the. foot of Trade street, /
SO feet above high water mark. This
brings the floor of the old elevator,
which is to be used as storage house,
to point about level with Front
street. The highest water known for
many year is SO feet above low wat
er mark Hence to play safe even in
eases of an unusual flood, the oh ele-
vator win rest fully SO feet above4low
water.

|. Champion AT Cleveland In
|. 2O-Round Bout.

New York, Aug. UNITED Press.
Johnny Kilbane declared after his
fight with Joe Fox at Philadelphia re-
Iccntly that he could have knocked out
that young Britisher in the second round
of the milling had it not been his. mis-
fortule to crack knuckle early in the
battle.
Kilbane said he was careless in the
first round to an extent that Fox was
able to land on him practically at any
| time with everything he had. "And he
couldn t hurt me, added the feather
weight champion. when / found there
was nothing to his punches waded
in to end the scrap just as. soon as
could. In the second round as Fox was
coming in cooked my right and let

punch, Fox ducked and my fist landed
full force on the side Of his head MY
hand and arm went numb. The knuckle
was cracked and / could deliver no more
hard punches with the right during the
rest of the fight.
The fight was in the nature of test
for the featherweight title holder. He
wanted to get back in action. but didn t
care to make it too strong until nc had
found just how far he could go, so he
Iehose the six-round route at PhilGdel-
phia with fast, light-hitting opponent.
The result, he contends, has convinced
him that he is ready to step at the old
championship pace.
Kilbane probably is fooling himself

he should realize right now that he can.
not go and on, whipping featherweights.
Some day, the Cleveland boxer will step
into ring with some fresh young daisy
and the next thing he will remember
will be the boys, telling him whero he
got hit. s-As
Kilbane is now figuring on meeting
Benny Valgar, the French champion, in
the fall. 1t probably will be the hard
est thing he ever tackled, for Valger is
a punching, rugged battler. 1t will
take all the Kilbane knowledge and ring
experience to keep him away. Many
experts believe Valger is the next feath-
erweight champion and Kilbane himself |
believes him to be. the best of his chal-
lengers.
At present it looks like the pair would
meet in Cleveland or near by on Labor
day probably ina twenty-round battle

never let his geography get in the
way Of human interest, and he quotes
this passage:

One of o. Henry's remarkable traits
is the whipcrack (never jimcrack)
way he brings up the story with a
round turn at the end. when you may
have thought it was going to peter
out to nothing.
A sudden vivid lightning fash

maine WON'T SUFFER
FROM THIRST UNTIL
PRIVATE STOCKS GO

MANGOR, Me-, Aug. 11.-There will
be no suffering from thirst IN Maine
until the accumulated stocks shall
have become exhausted or absorbed.
That date will vary greatly, according
to financial resources or foresight.
Approach Of dry doomsday had
been heralded for long, and those who
had the price have prepared against
It, Some there are who have in their
cellars enough cheer of various kinds
to tighten the gloom of several years,
while others have but a beggarly
months supply.
1t Is said that there Is in Maine to-
day. and particularly in Bangor, more
whisky than at any other time within
the memory of the oldest inhabitant-
lust because the citizens took the hint
and bought by the barrel instead of
the bottle rthe case as In other days.
No Revenues Lost.
SO far as any one knows the saloons
will run along on 2.75 per cent. beer.
which does not entirely satisfy but Is
better than nothing, and can be doc
tored with Jamaica ginger, paregoric
and other things to give 1t kick. The
hotels will have a little private stock
for old patrons. or else sincere regrets
and the services of bellhop to the
nearest oasis. Clubs will fare exactly
according to their wealth, political
influence and social position" and
their foresight in preparing for the
dust storm Most Of the small fry
have closed up. anyway.
The state of Maine never has had
license law, so will lose no revenues.
The counties will sorely miss the
liquor fines and will have to make up
the loss in increased taxation. The
numerous raiders, rum specials" and
rum lawyers. will have to go to work.
Enough for Seven Years.
Recently there has been a heavy
movement of liquor into Maine. mostly
by train and motor car. Stuff on
hand is not in much danger. Some Of
the sheriffs have heart. Stuff on
the road has to take its chances. The
country constables have no mercy
upon the sinner. especially when there
Is a dollar in being severe.
There are a few big stocks Of
whisky in the hands of Bangor dealers
all of it concealed in the suburbs.
and not likely to be seized unless
some enemy of the owners tips off the
sheriff, as happened not long ago in
the case of $50 quarts of good stuff. y
Private stocks are safe. One man
has enough vtliskey to last him seven
years at his present rate of abb
sorption.
