Houser, second vice pre- sident of the United States Grain Corporation, has sent to all of the newspapers of the northwest the following denial of the statements that have been largely circulated throughout the district. His statement fol- lows: My attention has been called to articles published in a number of newspapers througout this grain-zone in which bold head- lines proclaim that I have warn- ed farmers against the hoarding wheat, saying that they would be held liable as profiteers. I am at a loss to know where this story could have originated, as there is no possible basis for any such statement in our Gen- eral Bulletin No. 7 which is quot- ed in connection with these statements. Such a construction of this bulletin is nothing less than de- liberate misrepresentation. This General Bulletin No. 7, copy of which was sent you, merely stat- ed that “No storage premiums would be added to basic prices at the present time, nor until there accumulates in the grain corporation’s hands a sufficient | F reserve of wheat to insure a measure of protection for future home requirements, etc. ; I wish to state again emphati- cally, as I-have stated many times before, that the sole object of the United States Grain Cor- poration is to see that the guar- anteed price on wheat is main- tained,-and that-no farmers shall get less than that amount. We are devoting our best ef- forts to attain this object.and in |f carrying out the other duties preseribed by the wheat control act. United States Grain Corporation | 8 By M. H.

Rohrbeck, _pub- lisher of the Stites enterprise was in Elk City on a business trip some unknown persons en- tered his office and threw his newspaper equiptment into the alley and also did other damage. The guilty parties, no doubt were enemies of the paper and editor who wish to see him leave the community. In com- menting on the matter in last week’s issue the Stites Enter- prise said: “this little offense may have been committed by young men, but older ones laid the plan and as soon as things are throughly sifted we will give you interesting reading for some time.” WILL CRY SALES HERE.

Paul of Golden Wednes- day night sawed and kicked his way out of the county jail in Grangeville and escaped. He is believed to have fled to the mountain fastnesses of Idaho county, where difficulity will be experienced in locating him. Deputy sheriffs are scouring the mountains in an effort to find him. Charge False Prentenses, Paul was brought to Grange- ville on Monday by Deputy Sher- iff Robertson from Spokane, where he was arrested ona charge of obtaining money under false pretenses. He was re- leased from jail in Spokane, where he was held for two months on a charge of vagrancy, only to be brought to Idaho county on the false pretenses charge, and to escape. Deputy Robertson, who sleeps in the sheriff's office, left the of- fice about 10 Tuesday: night to get the evening mail. Paul was in the “bull pen.” Owing to the fact that the steel cells had re- cently been fumigated, and gave forth an offensive odor, Paul was not locked ina cell, from which escape would have been practically impossible. He was the only prisoner in the jail. When Deputy Robertson re- turned to the jail at 10:30, Paul was gone. Breaks out Partition Paul made his escape by saw- ing nails which held a wooden partition separating the “bull Road Work Hoene Hardware Be My business is growing all over.

The partition is formed of two-by- ours, laid one on the top of the other, making ‘a solid wooden partition four inches in thick- ness and extending from the jail floor to the ceiling. These wood- en blocks, in the ‘horthwest cor- ner of the jail, are about eigh- teen inches in léngth. Paul, it is believed, had in his possession a saw, with which he cut the nails on one end of the wooden blocks. He then kicked the blocks away forming a hole about eighteen inches high, through which he crawled. Once in thé corridor escape through the rear door was easy.—Free Press. SALE A GOOD ONE.
