Wheat Takes Upward Trend
with Apparently No Limit
Flour Now Commands One Dollar More
Per Barrel Than at This Time Last
Year
The market evont of greatest pres
ent interest to householders is the
advance in the pott of flour. Whole
salers last week raised the price of
patents from $ 5. lOjto 15.70 a barrol,
other grades aud varieties going up
from 20 to 50 cents, and the cest to
consumers lias of conrse been ad
vanced proportionately. Best flour is
now worth nearly a dtllar more a
barrel than at this time a year ago.
The consumer has' to pay for the pros
perity of tho farmer.
What hurts the most is the fact
that there is nothing in sight to in
dicate that flour prices will go any
other way than npwnrd in the months
to come. When the upward move
ment started about this time last year,
it continued, prices going 20 to 2ft
cents higher aliutst every month,
up to Juno of this year. Now the
outlook for the wheat market is
about as strong as ever, mm the cost
of wheat naturally Axes the cost of
floor.

The return game between tho foot
ball teams of the Oregon City and

Canemah Park Friday afternoon in a
steady downpour or rain, aim resulted
in a tie, both!toams securing a touch
down. Both teams were evenly
matched, although the visiting ag
gregation was a trifle heavier, and
the game was hotly cenusted iroui
start to finish. Most of the time the
pigskin was on neutral- ground, and
at the close of both halves, was in
the center of the Held. As the
grounds wns almost completely cov
ered with water, both teams used
straight football, although Gresham
used' a fake tandem play Beveral times,
at first with good success, but later
they abandoned it. What they laukod
in weight, the local lads made up in
individual playing. Ilakor, Oregon
City's loft end played the game of his
life, aim was in . tne conresr. irom
start to finish. He never laileci to
locate the man with the ball, and
spoiledsoveral plays before they could
get started. At offensive work, Mul
key was aho good, and he often
dowuerl tlio opposing uaons ior ueavy
losses. At times Boweu was also good
at breaking up plays, but on Bovoral
occasions, lie became rattled and al
lowed his opponents to get past mm.
while he never fuilod to boot
the ball into safe territory
At full back.Jhe was more than good,
Moore, one of the local half backs,
always advanced the ball for good
gains. Hart also played a clever
game, as Uirl rreeinim tne otner mem-
her of the backllold nuartotte.
The local's tonchdown was mado

raised as much as tho upper OA'iiig to
the f.ict that after nil excossivo rise

On account of the warm rain, the
snow in the mountains has melted to
a certain extent, and as a result the
Molalla river is on a rampage.
Tho bridge at Liberal was considered
liabel to go out at any time, while a
Miiall hridgu at Wright's Springs has
been afloat since Monday. Wednesday
loreiioon, neither of the bridges bad

Company '8 lower canal at Cauby
were carried out by the tlood at the
site of the new power house Monday.
Both banks were washed for 100 feet,
and residents of that section were
forced to vacate their liouies.
