Wonder if the railroad people
would consider a proposition to give
Heppner better passenger service.
They will have the opportunity to do
so for it is to be put up to them. AS
was stated by Mr.. Barratt at the COM
mercial club meeting Monday, the
people Of Heppner have been long.
suffering in this matter. They have
taken what has been given all these
years, not only in the matter of train
service, but in water service and light
and power service, and it would seem
that the time has arrived that better
conditions will prevail. BY going
after these things in the right way
we can get relief. At any rate, it is
not going to be so very long before
we can have an outlet to the main
line Of railroad over the Willow creek
highway, and the greater portion Of
passenger traffic will 60 that distance
toward Portland by auto and abandon
the railroad entirely. We believe
that this will not be necessary, how
ever, as the railroad company will no
doubt listen to reasonable demands
and arrange to give the branch a
more satisfactory passenger service.

is no reason why we cannot proceed

reported as simply having restricted
their dealings entirely to spots. Such
sales as have been made, while not fig
ured as volume trading, command a
premium for immediate deliveries. In
some instances the premiums Tor the
higher grade spots over Southern quo
tations have been as high as five cents
pound.
Rather than stimulating the cloth
market, the cotton excitement has cur
tailed the trading. The curtailment is
more noticeable in Fall River than New
Bedford, as the market for print cloth
for the two weeks previous had as
sumed more or less boom proportions.
The users of goods, through to retail
ers and consumers, are still conserva-
tive in their IDEAS. On the other hand,
the mill men have no enthusiasm over
aecepting purchases on present quota
tlons with uncertainty so rife in the
raw cotton market. Cloth prices have
not advanced proportionately so far
it is commended, and extended sales
under the circumstances, in the face
Of possibly higher cotton, might be
disastrous. Neither mill men nor
brokers feel their position secure
enough to do other than sit tlrht.
The jump in the Fall River mill
stock quotations during The week has

been one Of the more reassuring and
gratifying developments. The average
increase in the selling price of the
Fail River shares is SO over the price
at which they could be got the previous
week. Fall River brokers' have found il
difficult to get the stock to meet the de-
mand. Only slight change has been
recorded in the few New Bedford
stocks which have altered at all since
week ago.
Opinions vary widely over the effect
that the advancing price will have upon
the resumption Of trade. All feel it
now chiefly in the speculative stage.
and as such to be condemned. Aside
from that there are those who feel
that even normal advance will not be
absorbed bringing about a return Of
the buyers strike, because of the con-
tined depression in other industries.
Others welcome it so long as 1t does
not pass beyond all reason or control.
There are many labor leaders who take
this side Of the economic advantage to
be gained. They take their argument
from the fact that cotton prices for
several months have not been eauiys
lent to production costs. This has re-
duced the purchasing power ofsa1Iarge

gone steadily forward on a less SEN
sational. but what is believed to be a
more substantial and enduring basis.
The cotton market has been the all
absorbing topic Of conversation, but in
actual transactions and activity it has
not held ground with the forward steps
made by the mills.
The mill men virtually withdrew
from tho cotton market both here and
in Fail River in the face of the ex-
element. The wild market" did rot
relieve in any way the uncertainty
that has been expressed over the rise
since it has started. Fall River fell
more in line with the curtailed pur-
chases of the New Bedford mills,
though the trading in the centers re-
curing the lower grades of cotton has
been on somewhat wider basis than
for the highrr grades in New Bedford.

Slow but steady improvement con-
tinues to characterize the clock trade.
according to manufacturers. Business
during August of most of the clock
companies showed the same increase
over July as was disclosed in sales dur
ing July over June. 1t is expected that
sales for the present month will reveal
corresponding gain over the volume
IN August. However, sales are consid-
erably below the volume for last Year.
Export business is still almost At a
Standstill. One of the foremost clock
manufacturers said that foreign bust
ness in the last two months was but
one-tenth of che volume, whereas in
normal times foreign shipments con-
stltuted one-hRlf Of the business taken
In. Until the exchange rates becoma
more favorable, little Improvement in
this field IL expected.
Tambour chimes continue to hold
first place as best sellers. The demand
for popular-priced alarm clocks is also
sustained. Another clock company has
followed the lead taken by the other
companies in June and has made slight
reductions in prices of all of their
clocks. effective September /. Prices
established in June are expected TO he
maintained at least until January. Re-
employment Of workmen who were re-
leased when depression was felt hard
est is under way in several companies.
Except for several department stores
whoae owners are ordering in prepare
ton for fall sales, little speculation is
apparent The rise in the price of cot
ton is regarded in the trade as a fore
runner of better times for the clock
industry In the South. Collections in

Domestic Market

"If the American manufacturer rests
content with the limited domestic mar
ket and does not make any effort to se-
cure his proper proportion of the
larger world trade in dyestuffs, the
manufacturers In Germany and Switz-
erland will surely have a distinct adj
vantage in that they viii have at least
six times as extensive q market. and
this will furnish them with six times
the power for research and develop
ment, six times less the burden of over
head expense, TO say nothing of the ad
vantages of being able to put out a
much wider range of products and the
possession OF much more generally
stable market. With such 8 market
they would be at much better advsn-
tage as competitors In the American
sspArket itself.

.essary policy for the dye manufactur-

III proper and regulatory measures

said DR.. Matthews, at may be expect
ed, for few years at least, that the
bulk of the domestic market may be
at the disposal Of the American dye
stuffs manufacturer. 1t Is not reason
able to suppose, however. that unusual

more than few years at the utmost,
consequently the time will soon come
when. even in the domestic trade, the
American manufacturer will have to
face competition under conditions that
are more or less normal to the flow of
international trade.

Detrimental Factors

mere are az the present time many
factors detrimental to the export of
American dyes. Quite outside the fact
that business in these foreign countries
is at low ebb, the same as it is in our
own country, we have to contend
against the high cost of transportation
and the great difference in the ex-
change rate. Beyond these financial
difficulties, however, are those of 8
commercial nature. Only few of our
dyestuf companies have any kind of
foreign representation or have esEab-
nshed branch houses to handle and de-
velop their business. A small dye
stuff company cannot afford to main
tain any kind of foreign representa-
ton; they have to depend on general
commercial houses acting az importing
agents, and these, as rule, are not
equipped to properly handle a compli-
Gated dyestuff business, especially
under conditions of keen and active
competition. 1t would seem, therefore.
that outside Of the large companies it
would be necessary to handle any ex-
port trade in dyestuffs from this coun-
try through consolidated export
house which could effectively handle
the development of dyestuff business.
1t is question whether such an organ
lzation could properly meet the stu
they could not be expected to push one
company's products as against anoth er
and consequently would have to main
tain rather neutral attitude in the
market, and such an attitude would not
be conducive to getting results so far
as the introduction of dyestuffs is con-
cerned. Again, 1t is question if such
a company could properly run a serv-
ice department in the countries in ques-
ton, and this Is a very important
feature.
There have been other lines Of in
dustry which have formed associations
Tor handling an export trade in their
products. and we understand chat our
present Secretary of Commerce, Mr..
Hoover, is great believer IN this
method OF going out into the world
market. There have been suggestions
put out from various sources that this
system should be tried by the Ameri-
can dyestuff manufacturers, but the
dyestuf business is SO far different
from mos. other lines OF business that
it is doubtful If a really successfu IL
scheme of export organization could
be drawn up. 1t is well known fact
that some of the larger dyestuff firms
are. strongly opposed to entering any
such organization, believing that they
must maintain the individuality and
identity in the maintenance of their
own export branches. Any such or
ganizatson would, therefore, be limited
to number of relatively small dye
stuff concerns, and it is doubtful if
these would have the line of products
necessary to build up really effective
business in foreign countries.

ACTS ABOUT MILK AS FOOD
AS an Article of Diet There Are Many
Things That Are Not Properly
Understood.

The use of milk as food has been
so extensively exploited by the milk
interests that there exists a somewhat
erroneous idea about it which a re-
cent speaker, before the American Ped
iatric society. is endeayoring to cor
rect.
These errors principally concern the
group of children between the ages Of
1 and years. These errors might be
classified under the headings: ~
Prolonged use of milk as an exclusive
article of diet. (2) Increased guam
titles of milk given along with other
foods.
Milk might not only be used too
long asian exclusive article of diet and
in excessive quantities with other
foods, but its nutritional value might
be injured by boiling.
The laity were taught, and rightly
so, that milk was an ideal breeding
place for germs, and that the growth
of these germs might be inhibited by
keeping the milk on ice, or the milk
might be brought to a boil. The use
of boiled milk was becoming more
prevalent, and many injuries to nutri-
ton occurred.
