Sale Of Copper
Mine Annulled

Washington, Jan. 24.-Mlhority
stockholders of the Alice Gold and
Silver Mining company won the
fight today in the supreme court
to have annulled the sale of that
company's property near Butte,
Mont, to the Anaconda Copper
Mining company.
The contention of the minority
that the sale was void because the
interests controlling the Anaconda
company had a monopoly of the
copper trade was denied by the
supreme court. There was nothing
to show, the court said, that the
Anaconda exercised such control
over the market at the time of the
sale in 1911.

Port Bills
Precipitate
SenateScrap
Proposal to Recall
Measure from Judic-
larry Committee Sets
Off Fireworks

The fight launched in the
senate OF the Oregon legisla-
turc this morning when Sena-
to Joseph offered resolution
recalling the Port of Portland
bills from the judiciary COM
mittee onto the floor of the
senate for consideration In
committee of the whole, blew
up soon after that body con-
vcned for the afternoon Ses-
sion.
Senator Joseph withdrew his
motion made this morning and
a resolution offered by Senator
Eddy. calling on the judiciary
committee to report the port
bills in Thursday morning was
unanimously adopted.
Only the timely interference by
Senator Eberhard with his usual
motion to adjourn for lunch was
able to interrupt the battle which
waged in the senate this morning
L
the battle which occupied practi-
cally the entire morning session is
still to be fought out at the after
noon session.
The fight was preclpitated by
Senator Joseph with a motion to
order the judiciary committee now
considering the various Port of
Portland bills to report them back
Immediately to the senate with a
view to considering them in the
committee of the whole Joseph
declared that in neither the judic-
iarv committee nor the Multnomah
county delegation could these meas
ures receive the consideration TO
which they We're entitled as meas
ures of state wide Importance.
Senators Hume and Thomas join
ed with Joseph in demanding re-
call of the bill from the judiciary
committee pointing to Senator
Moser, chairman of that committee
and co-author of the bills, as the
paid attorney for the Port of Port
land commission" and as such not
a proper person to preside over the
destinies of this legislation.
Senator Moser, arising to a point
of personal privilege, took excep =
ton to these insinuations, declaring
that although he was the attorney
for the port commission he was sit
ting in the senate as a representa-
tive of the people and not of any
commission. Any statement to the
effect that he was opposed to the
development of the North Portland
harbor, as intimated by Senators
Hume and Thomas, he declared,
was an untruth,
Senator Dennis, defending Moser
rs a friend of long standing, also
expressed his opposition to the
manner in which the port bills are
being handled and spoke for their
recall from the judiciary commit
tee.
Senators Upton and Ryan, both
members of the judiciary commit
tee. characterized the motion as a
reflection on the fairness and i'm
of the committee. which
they pointed out contained nine
only two of whom we're
from Multnomah county, and asked
that the committee be given a
chance to pass upon the bills.

Dead Commander Of Legion
Leaves Patriotic Message

New York, June ia few days be-
fore his death in an automobile acci-
dent at indianapolis, F. W. Galbralth
Jr, commander of the American Legion,
dictated a statement calling attention
of the public to the fact that tomor-
row will be Flag day, when the people
will" as he worded 1t, pledge again
their love for their flag and their firm
purpose to serve it."
The message said:
Flags are like people; they are full
Of personality, endowed with charac-
teristics traditions and faults.
These qualities flags borrow from
the nations they represent the peo-
pies over whom they wave.
"Our flag was born when the nation
was an infant. The breeze that first
rippled its starry folds brought whis-
perngs of troubled events, violence AND
bloodshed But our flag lives on, tc
Our flag has been ca-.>d into man,
/ battles, but never on the side of con
quest It has known grave dangers
but never has been sullied by nationa
shame
This flag that ripples in the wint
today is worthy Of our reverences, be
cause we of this nation have strivel
and always must strive to keep oui
| ideals lofty Today we will pledg
again our love for our flag and ou
firm purpose to serve it. Our pledge
made today and acted every day, viii
keep the Stars and Stripes glorious"

I'VE had a splendid yield" observed
Mr., Barratt, speaking for his own sheep,
"and there were sheep we got 1s pounds
of wool from. OF course, that wasn't
the average, but We had many sheep
which registered that amount I re-
fused 1874 cents for my wool-they
were offering 20 cents a pound for wool
at Condor a few days ago" Mr.. Bar
ratt laments that the old-timers who
sheared 175 sheep a day by hand are no
more Mr.. Barratt hasn't sheared with
machinery for several years, There Is
too much wear and tear on the sheep,
so he prefers the slower but more care
full method of manual toll. The young
chaps these days prefer the clipping
machine to doing the Job by hand.--ore-

IN MORROW COUNTY

Aside from some few purchases of
wool made by w. W. Smead, and aggre-
eating about $4,000 pounds, the wool
clip of Morrow county has not been
moving very rapidly He represents a
well known Boston firm and is after
fine woods principally, his price rang
ing from II to 1877 cents, The past
few days the market seems to have
strengthened slightly but yet the de-
mand is not strong, and the best quail
ity fieeces will bring around twenty
cents At the Condor sale on Friday
last some 100000 pounds changed hands
and the high price for n choice lot OF
wool was 20h cents, with 16A the low
price, and this was considered a very
good sale under existing conditions
Bidding at the sale was quite liver,
The Shaniko sales were'held yesterday
and we did not learn how the price
ranged there. Mr., Smead hopes to see
things liven up in the wool market al

more wool turned loose here in the next

Postoffice Window to Close
on Sundays and Holidays

We are Informed by Postmaster Rich
ardson that on and after the first Of
July, the delivery window at the post
office will be closed to the public on
Sundays and holidays, and on these
days there will be no delivery of mail
This is an Imperative order Of the post
office department and the postmaster
has no discretion other than to obey, SO
the public will please take notice and
be governed accordingly. Those who
have lock boxes will be able to get
their mail on such days as the mail will
be distributed as heretofore and the
lobby will be open a reasonable time
both morning and evening. This order
will doubtless prove disappointing to
the public in a great measure but the
postmaster should not be censured: he
is only following the instructions laid
down by the department and we shall
have to get used to what the higher
ups have to say in these matters.

TOO MANY M|DDLEMEN
MAKES PRODUCER LOSE
(The Manufacturer

In many instances producers are re-
'ceiving less for their products than be-
fore the war. Take for example pork,
mutton, beef, cereals, butter, eggs, wool
and cotton tine price of which to the
producer is in most instances less than
the pre-war period.
Why then has there not occurred a
corresponding reduction in price to the
consumer?
There is but one reason and answer
between the producer and consumer
there are too many middlemen, too
many rehandlings, with cost for each
rehandling and profits for each rehand-
Ter pyramided and added into the price
TO the consumer
The situation is further aggravated
by the increase in price made by each
dealer as the commodity passes from
one to another on its circuitous pilgrim
| age to the consumer the cost and pro-
| fits assessed in each instance usually
| being excessive.
OF the price paid by consumers but
small part goes to the producer.
/ Most of the cost on the article is COB
bled up by commission men, brokers,
jobbers, wholesalers, peddlers and what
nots.
Brokers, commission dealers and job
bers, to cover their trail, attempt to
blame il on railroad rates
But on an orange, lemon, head of let
-tuce, pound Of pork, beef, mutton, as
paragus, butter, dozen of eggs or box
of berries. where at most the freight
charges rarely amount to one cent, the
spread in the price between producer
/ and consumer makes it very clear that
the cause Of low prices to the producer
and high to the consumer is not the
freight rates,
Instance the retail price of these
commodities in Pacific coast markets
right where they are grown and on
much Of which there is no rail haul and
therefore no freight charge by the rail-
roads as compared with the retail price
in Chicago and New York after a rail
haul of several thousand miles, Strange
isn't it that the price is the same. In
other words sun kissed" California
orange retails at FIVE cents in New
York after a rail haul Of four thousand
miles.
There remains no doubt that failure
to adjust and coordinate our merchan-
dising system, resulting in too many
rehandlings, excessive and unnecessary
costs and profits, with consequent pyr-
amided cost to the consumer is large
ly responsible for inability Of producers
to sell at a fair margin of profit as well
as for the inability of consumers tc
buy at a fair price.
OF course industrial depression Incl.
dent to war has lessened greatly the
common buying power Of the people, g
result bound to adversely affect pro
ducers regardless Of costs or prices
, but the great trouble is too many mid.
dlemen and too much profteering,

FARM BUREAU MAR
KET|NG FINANCE PLAN

At the meeting in Washington In
April of the state Farm Bureau presi-
dents a great deal of time was given
to the development of a national sys-
TEN of financing cooperative market
ing organization in cooperation with
the existing banking agencies and the
Federal Reserve banks. There are at
present nearly one hundred co-operat-
i've marketing organizations which
have been more or less promoted by
the Farm Bureau movement and which
would be benefited by such a financial
plan.
In trying to work out such plan a
meeting was held with the Federal Re-
serve board at which 1t was developed
that the profits Of the Federal Reserve
banking system might be made avail
able for this purpose. The figures CIV
en- below are given as official and re-
cdire no comment.
Total capital of Federal Reserve
banks Of the United States s94,234, 900.
After paying the running expenses the
board set aside surpluses for each dis
