OREGON NEWS NOTES
OF GENERAL INTEREST
Events Occurring Throughout
the State During the Past
Week.
Slnnott Demands Free Clothing.
Washington. Representative Sln
nott has pored over the statistics of
the wool Industry and has Analyzed
the tariff testimony on the same sub
ject until he has become pretty well
aroused on the subject of the Injustice
which he believes Is being done to
the wool growers. On May 6 he In
troduced an amendment to the bill
putting woolen manufactures on the
free list. And In support of It he spoke
In part as follows:
"Mr. Chairman, this bill alms to put
the iniquities of schedule K almost
wholly upon the wool raiser. Gentle
men said, the other day, that there was
Invested In woolen manufactures $415,
nim.tKiO. In sheep raising of this nn
Hon the census shows nn Investment
of 1518.000.000. one Is as much do
servlng ah the other. Inquiry as to
the cost of sheep raising in Oregon,
based on 22H.OOO sheep, and with wool
selling at 14 cents a pound, shows the
profit on those sheep would be about
$50,000. If the price drops 4 cents a
pound, the loss on those sheep will bo
$15,000. Hut there are 2.000,000 sheep
In my district alone."
GRANGE BACKS PLAN
State Organization Indorses Bill for
System of Choice Voting.
Albany. Initial steps toward sub
mitting a bill through the Initiative
to establish the preferential voting
system, Including first, second and
third choices, for fulled Statea sena
tors and state officers, were taken la
the 40th annual session of the Oregon
state tlrange.

resolution upbraids the legislature for
passing measures that have been re
jected by the people through the Ini
tiative or referendum.
The resolution recommending that
the state furnish uullorms for public
iihool children and that the school
districts furnish free lunches at noon
was defeated. The committee '
which It was referred recommended

leport was adopted without extende I
discussion.

Cornering Wheat on Pacific Coast.
Portland Not more than 600,000
buabels of wheat remain unsold In
farmers' hands in territory tributary
to Portland Some dealers estimate
from their warehouse figures, that tlm
supply does not exceed 260,000 bush
els. This Is. for all practical BsjffSSt
a clean up of northwest stocks. Never
before in the history of the trade, has
the supply been reduced to sue h siuull
proportions at this time of year.
This condition Is the result of ex
tensive but quiet buying that has I i
going on In eastern Oregon and east
ern Washington in the last few lays,
Estimates .if the amount purcluo.cd
in this period range from 750,000 o
liiiio.liiKl bushels. Almost all the hu
lug was done by Portland spaealatora.
