Farmer Gets Nearly Half Of Consumers
Dollar Spent for Milk in Valley

Dairymen took a large part of
each dollar consumers in the I'M
perial county marketing area spent
for milk last year-49 per cent.
The only other products which re-
turned a greater part of the con-
sumers' dollar TO the farmer were
commodities which DO not require
processing. For instance, the farm =
er received 56 per cent of the dollar
spent for eggs, onions 81 per cent,
carrots 20 per cent, and hens so
per cent.
Records OF the state department
OF agriculture show a substantial
increase in prices farmers received
for dairy products during the fall
and winter months Of 1910. Fluio
milk prices likewise increased over
the spring and summer months OF
the same year
These increases, however were
due TO increased purchasing power
brought on by the sharp rise in in
custrial production, employment,
and factory payrolls. While these
factors resulted in increased demand
for farm products the demand was
not proportionate TO Increased prices
received by producers for milk used
in the manufacture of dairy prod

expected because of the defense pro-

SEATTLE, July 1e.-Heat and

Northwest, but the weatherman
held out hope today of relief from
the blistering temperatures Of the
past week.
In Oregon, nine deaths were at
tributed to the heat, four persons
drowned and one was killed by
lightning. Washington charged two
deaths to the heat and reported
dozens of prostrations.
Temperatures in the two States
have climbed as high as lis de-
grees in recent days, breaking all
time records in several areas. The
Weather Bureau said temperatures
should be somewhat lower today.
Lightning Burns Timber.
Fires, most OF them set by light
ming, have exacted q toll of timber
and wheat.
The regional Forest Service once
at Portland reported 954 lightning
set fires in Oregon and Washington
National Forests in the past four
days. Most of them were controlled
before they could do much damage.
Hundreds of other blazes were set
by lightning in State and private
forest lands. Most of these in Ore
gon were under control, but hum
dreds of men were rushed to 1re
lines in Washington.
Manpower was at a premium be-
cause of curtailed C. c. C. camp

Two Receive Sentences
For Safe CRACKING

Judge T. Whitfield Davidson, in
District Court yesterday, sentenced
William W. Boehman to to IL years
and John P. Martin to 3 to 9 years,
after they had been convicted by q
jury of cracking a safe at the Kear-
ney OldSmobile Co, New York ave
nue. and North Capitol street, last
April.
The judge said the case "bordered
on gangsterism" and declared that
the conduct of the defendants was
not only against the laws, but
against morality.
IF conditions similar to this
existed throughout the country gen.
orally, there wouldn't be any safes
to crack-nor would there be money
to take" observed the iurist.
Prosecuting the case was Assistant
United States Attorney John l..
LaSkey.
Four men were indicted on charges
of housebreaking and grand larceny
but the court directed verdict in
favor of Norman B. Hicks and the
Government dropped the case
against Robert Lee Ray, who was
used as a witness by Mr.. Laskey.
The prosecutor said that the safe
contained 81 500 in cash and $500
in checks, but the Indictment
charged them only with taking the
money.
