STATE ORCHARDIST rs
COMING TO HEPPNER

The county agrieulturist has had
a great many calls to inspect orchards
where diseased trees are causing con-
Germ to the owner. We feel that this
is subject of great Importance to
Morrow county and one which is not
given enough thought by the average
farmer.
Unless something Is done to pro-
tect the trees against disease we will
soon have no fruit at all While this
may never be a second Hood River or
Medford fruit section still it is an in
dustry not to be ignored.
Every orchard man clearly recog-
nizes that the control of the diseases
that infest fruit trees is not a prob
lem for the individual altogether but
in most cases can not be successfully
done without the cooperation Of every
raiser in the district.
We clearly recognize our short
comings in the discussion Of the fruit
problems and are therefore very glad
to announce that Oregon Field Horti-
culturist, Mr.. c. E. Schuster, has been
secured to visit this county and dag
nose the situation.
When the County Farm Bureau
completes its organization this fall
orchard work will certainly be made
part of its program for it is easily
apparent that without some kind Of
organized effort we can expect very
little results. Morrow county has a
very good spraying outfit which we
Will try to devise means to put to
work in the proper season.
In the meantime we shall do what
we can. Mr.. Schuster will arrive
about the 18th Of the month and we
shall try to visit as many orchards
rs possible during the time he is here
To assist us in covering this big
county as speedily as possible kindly
advise us If you have any trees that
YOU think require attention so that
we can plan our route with the least
possible travel, and please do 80 al
once.

OPERATORS N UST

McAdOO's Final Thrust at Coal
Magnates-AnOther State
ment About Profits

New York. Nov. 27.-Proflts several
times in excess of the entire capital in
vested came back to many coal operators
of 1917. William G. McAdoo, former sec
rotary of the treasury, declared in a
further statement tonight relative to the
coal controversy. He asserted those
operators must now be on velvet" The
statement follows
"The coal operators assert that gave
out confidential information when l stated
that profits OF the mine owners in 1917
ranged from 10 to 1000 per cent on capital
stock before deduction of taxes. This
was not confidential information. The
treasury department may publish stats
teal matter Of this character any time.
In fact information concerning this very
subject was furnished by me to the
United States Senate in response to a
resolution introduced by Senator Borah
concerning profiteering, and was published
July 5. 1918.
In this report the returns of several
hundred coal companies showed profits
ranging from 10 to 800 per cent on their
invested capital in 1917 The range of
profits was higher on capital stock. In
short. many coal operators got back
their entire invested capital several times
out of their profits in 1917, as shown by
the reports. and must now be on velvet"

EMMA GOLDMAN
is ORDERED DEPORTED
Anarchist and Radical to he Sent to
Russia Soon

Washington. Nov. 3O--Announcement
was made last night by Anthony Can't
netti commissioner general of immigra-
ton. that the department of labor had
ordered the deportation Of Emma Gold
man, anarchist and radical, and that she
probably would be sent to Russia. Only
a few days ago the department of labor
affirmed the commissioners recommended
ton for the deportation of Alexander
Berkman.
The action taken yesterday closes the
case of Berkman and the Goldman
woman. whose activities have been
thorn in the flesh of federal officials for
years. The investigation of her record
by the government showed that Emma
Goldman was born in Russia in 1870, and
that her father. also born In Russia. died
at Rochester in 1903, after becoming
naturalized citizen. Her mother, Mrs.
Taubs Goldman, now 70 years old. is lv-
ing in Rochester
In December, 1885, Emma and her half
sister, Helena Zodokoff, came to the
United States and went to Rochester,
where in 1886 her parents Joined them.
She was married 10 Jacob Kersner in
1887 at Rochester by Kalmon Bardin, but
there is no record of the marriage in
Monroe county nor of any license having
peeH !SSueu, ana the records or the de-
partment OF justice indicate that Bardin
had no right to perform the ceremony
under the laws of New York. After
divorce and reconciliation the woman
became the companion of Berkman.
The investigation made by the depart
ment of justice revealed her activities
as radical and anarchist. her advocacy

sentences in San Quentin penitentiary,
in connection with the dynamiting of the

COSTS MORE -
LIVE THAN EVER
Buying Public Continues Orgy
of Spending-High Prices
Not Resisted

New York, Dec. 1-Despite the various
campaigns to bring down the high cost
of living, the cost OF foodstuffs and cloth
ing have continued to climb during the
last month, according to the report on
business conditions of the second federal
reserve district board for November,
made public here tonight. The average
increase in the price of the principal
necessities of life was given at one and
one-half per cent.
Reports from the retail trade, it was
stated, indicated that luxury buying
was in full swing, and tina ''repressive
effect of the war on personal expendi-
ture" had disappeared completely.
Never has there been so much spending,
such demand for expensive articles and
such disregard of prices" said the re-
port.
The buying public is showing almost
no resistance" to high prices. the report
continued, which added that the buyers
are either completely Indifferent or they
accept the higher prices as quite to be
expected"
Reports from retail stores. it was stat
ed. indicate that the wave OF buying
done by wage earners has somewhat
subsidized" 1t was suggested that this
ployment caused by strikes.
The jewery trade reports indicated an
unprecedented demand for platinum. fine

stones, The price of diamonds has risen
100 per cent within six months. it was
stated and there has been "a great rise
in the price of silverware."
Musical instruments cannot be pro-
duced in quantity sufficient to meet the
demand" declared the report. Reckless
buying in the clothing trade was also
reported.
Referring to the labor situation, the
report stated that strikes reduced the

Washington, Dec. 1.--Wartime restric-
stringent even than those applied during
the war, were ordered into effect to-day
| to stave off fuel famine.
| Moved by reports of diminishing coa'
stocks and growing danger of distress
| in numerous sections, the government
sought no compromise with striking mine
workers whose walkout forced the emer-
gency, but asked for national determine
ton to end deprivation and discomfort
until coal mining was resumed on its
own terms.
Fuel administrator Garfield, acting in
conjunction with the railroad admins
tration, gave notice that hereafter only
the essential consumers included in the
first five classes of the war priorities
list would be supplied with coal and ask
ed the help Of all state and municipal
authorities to make rationing effective.
The order. which made national those
restrictions already put into local effect
by regional coal committees where the
pinch of fuel shortage has been felt, cuts
off supplies from all but transportation
agencies, which include inland and coast
wise shipping as we'll as railroads; fed
eral and local government institutions
and establishments, including concerns
working on government contracts: pub
lie utilities, including newspapers and re-
tail dealers. Railroad administration Of
ficials conceded that it meant widespread
cessation of industrial operations, only
justified by the gravity of the situation.
1T Is necessary that coal shall be
used only for essential purposes" DR..
Garfield said in giving public notification
of the step. Public utilities consuming
coal should discontinue to furnish power.

and should consume only sufficient coal
to produce enough light, power and heat
to meet the actual urgent needs of the
people. Advertising signs and displays
of various kinds necessitating the use
of coal should he curtailed and no coal
should be distributed for such purpose.
Pursuant to this policy l have re-
quested the railroad administration in the
distribution of coal now or hereafter in
its possession to limit distribution to
these essential and urgent uses. AS far
practicable until the conditions war

will be limited to the first five classes

Washington. Dec. 1.-Attorney- General
Palmer called upon the American peo-
pie tonight to refuse to be stampeded
by threats Of lack of coal into conces-
sions which, will insure unreasonably
high prices in all commodities for at
least three years to come.''
A statement of the governments at
titude was made by the Acknowledgement
in telegram to the Chamber of Com.
merce at Moberly. Mo-, from which had
come request that another conference
Of operators and miners be called.
Mr.. Palmer opposed further conferences
saying wage increases proposed by Dr.
Garfield equalized the average miner s
wages with the present high cost of liv-
ing without increasing the price of coal.
This, he said, was fair to the miners and
protected the public.
THE cost of living is now Mt the high
point" Mr.. Palmer said. ITO grant the
demands of the miners would make the
cost of living still higher The new wage
conference would run three winters, and
therefore, would maintain a higher cost
of living for substantially three years.
Such situation cannot be tolerated
I'm addition to this. Dr. Garfield sug-
gested a consultative body to investigate
more completely the whole situation, to
be composed of representatives in equal
number of the miners and operators, and
to be presided over by the secretary of
the interior. SUCH body would investi-
gate, among other things. the profits of
the operators. If thAse should be found
to be unreasonable high the pubr.c
should receive the benefit in decreased
price of coal. after the miners have had
Cd cted fair
basis ! understand this plan is accepta
bic to the operators. If the miners re-
turn to work and agree to this plan. u
way would be Immediately opened for
permanent settlement.
I'm the meantime, however, the opera
tors have posted the advance in wages
proposed by DR. Garfield, SO that work.
ing miners will Immediately receive the
benefit of this increase. The production
of coal now closely approximates 30 per
cent OF normal and l have confidence
that sufficient number of miners will
comply with the wishes Of their govern
ment and respond to the needs of the
people to increase this production in the
near future to point which will supply
the demand II economy and conservation
in industry are employed.
ANY other plan to reopen negotiations
for new wage scale between the miners
and operators would be futile and would
delay rather than advance production
AS long as the leaders of the miners
organizations believe that their unlaw-
full strike will force the public into a
condition of suffering and loss which
will compel further increases of wages,
continued conferences on the subject will
only result in influencing miners not to
return to work
The situation calls for the steadfast
support by the public of the governments
position as announced by DR.. Garfield
The public should refuse to be stampeded
by threats of lack of fuel into concessions
which will insure unreasonable high
prices in all commodities for at least
three years to come"

: buildings hospitals. etc. should take
, every precaution to see that coal is only
delivered where II is absolutely required
and then only in such limited quantities
that the supply may be distributed wide
~ and prevent suffering.
THE state and other local authorities
can materially aid in inspecting and
supervising such distribution by retail
dealers and the United States government
will be glad to leave the supervision and
control of such distribution by retail deal
ers entirely to any State, county or
municipality which may make provision
therefor The distribution to the rail deal
ers must necessarily be administered by
the railroad administration in pursuance
Of the orders already made by the United
States fuel administration In Carrying out
the priorities which have been prescribed
under the Lever act"
Officials said that the terms Of the
order as given were framed to allow the
greatest possible variation in local ar
be met by action best suited to that
result. Industrial establishments operat-
ing their own power plants will be forced
to shut down when present supplies are
exhausted while the operations of those
whose power is supplied from public util-
ity plants will he curtailed or continued
In the discretion Of local agencies and
officials. Or. Garfield noted further that
government would be glad to leave
supervision and control of distribution
by retail dealers entirely to any State,
county or municipality which may make
provision therefor"
These arrangements, it was suggest
ed. would all be maintained while they
provide adequate, but the federal gov
eminent would hold final power to
intervene by cutting off coal supplies
where rationing measures are not being
fairly or fully taken.
Officials were hopeful that the ad =
vance of II per cent in mine workers
wages would result in getting some of
the men back to work, especially in
view of the fact that coal operators
generally were backing up the offer.
But at the same time 1t was said that
n period of several days would be re-
quired before the effect of this could
be determined. Members of mine
operators committee were in Washing
ton watching the situation, and pre-
pairing for general session Wednes-
day, when details of application of the
IA per cent increase will be arranged,
but had no reports of work resump-
ton,
