Milling wheat seen so far thla year
la reported to be mora chalky than
that harvested inst year and thus not
quite aa deatrabie for flour. The per
centage of gluten seen in the samples
so far received la slightly less than
last year, Indicating that It will mill
slightly less. The absence of rains,
however, has tended to leave the pro
portion of gluten still relatively high.
Millers are anxious, however, to get
wheat with which to start operations.
Mills In many Instances are known to
have paid a small premium in order
t) get started enrly, but Portland and
Spokane millers are said to have flat
ly refused any premiums. This state
mc-nt is contradicted In aome circles,
however. One purchase was reported,
today of a portion of a crop for Im
mediate delivery for milling. The
premium paid was not divulged.
Farmers are holding their wheat
this year In hopes of a rise In the ba
alo price.- Where last year at this
time wheat was coming Into one
warehouse door and out the-other In
to cars, the condition this year la very
different. Farmers are In no hurry to
gcj their grain Into the warehouses
and when It does reach there, they are
content to leave It for aome time. The
early bulletins issued by M. H. Homer
were misinterpreted by farmers and
they firmly believe that the govern
ment will raise the basic price In An,
gust. ,
Dealers, however, ore nf thn helief
that the price now fixed will stand PRESIDENT SIGNS
ana mat no premiums will be offer
ed. They are unable to so convince
farmers, however, and aa a result sell.
Ing has been slow so far. Despite
bulletins from the grain administra
tor for this distinct that premiums are
hardly a possibility, no exchanges of
consenuonce are being made.
Fur the second time within a month
the Pendleton Cash Market, 305 East

first avialors' strike is on. A score st
aerial mail pilots following rejection
of their demands for Immediate re
storation of two aviators, failed to re
port to work at flelmont Park today.
Postal authorities denied newspa
permen admittance and refused, all
; information regarding the depart
ment's plans to meet the situation. It
is not believed it will attempt to em
ploy strikebreakers.
l. E. Jordan, assistant superintend
ent of the New York post office de
clared that the strikers are liable to
arrest for violation of their oath of
office. He said the aviators 'have
the same status as a -soldier or sailor.
Jordan said all of the strikers have
loMt their jobs permanently. He said
also all scheduled mail flights were
made today after some .delay, ma
chines being operated by reserve fly
