HAS A FIRMER TONE There is a firmer tone in the Ore gon wheat situation but prices in gen eral are showing no change. The los9 by the recent fire In Portland Is al ready having some effect upon the ! trade there, although as yet there has been no elevation of values. I With the cargo demand for Pacific northwest wheat still of excellent char acter and at full values that are being bid for the home trade, the outlook is most hopeful. While some of the leading mills as sert that they are scarcely interested In the wheat market at this time, there is sufficient outside business available even at the present time to clean up every bushel of wheat remaining on the farms of the Pacific northwest. Owing to the excellent weather con ditions and the outlook for seed plant ing it is likely that a greater amount of spring acreage will be sown. This will call for more wheat than previ ously estimated.

BUSINESS HEN APPROVE FIGURES COMMITTEE OF 14 CHECKS OVER PLAN OF PURE MOUNTAIN WATER LEAGUE WILL ISSUE STATEMENT SOON Bonds Could be Pa'd With 60 Prcnt Increai In Water Rates With. Outside Town Thu Could be Reduced Fourteen representative business and professional men of the city cheeked over every detail of tho plans of the Pure Mountain Water league, and found that in every essential part the figures of the league were correct. The meeting was held In the parlors of the commercial club Wednesday even ing. The meeting was strictly informal. The committee, will Issue a formal statement of Its finding to the taxpay er of the city within the next few davs. The Pure Mountain Water league submitted a plan whereby an increase in the water rates of 60 per cent, the water bonds could be paid without an Increase In the taxes. This would make the price to the average house holder $2.00 a year and with a cor responding Increase to business houses and offices. There had been some doubt as to whether such a plan would take care nf the linmt Issue wihout the aid of additional taxes so at the suggestion of the water league, the proposition was submitted to the committee. However, such a plan does not in clude the possibility of an outside town, such as West l.inn, entering in to the project and paying Its share of iha ovitdnuc it war R:ud bv a mem ber of the committee Wednesday even inn thnt hrt thought it nrobable that with the aid of an outside city, the bonds could be met with but a small increase in the water rates.

He went away to do or die Where foemen's cannon roar. He learned to fly In a machine And dally risked his life. When death he thus had often seen He went and took a wife. Not once In all his bold career Had he been beaten down. Of fiercest foes he'd shown no fear. He'd dared stern nature's frown. He'd never failed to boss his crew. No matter what their will. He made men low or lofty do The thing he wanted still. He was. indeed, a man of vim, Courageous, strong and proud. Tou would not fall to single him From out the common crowd.

That rurnt life should he or ganized and .mi Ik' organized Is clear. Various agencies are defi nitely attacking Its Intellectual side. We are effectively study ing rural physical Improvements. esl-eclally gol roads. The coun try roads are prerequisite for many luiortaiit rural undertak ings. They are prerequisite for better marketing, for better schools, for comfortable living aud for the promotion of social life. There Is obvious need of or ganlzatlou for sanitary purposes aud for social development. Whether all these shall come through dellnlte attack of pri vate or public agencies or as byproducts makes no differ ence; they must come. We can no longer entertain the notion thnt rural life shall remain Iso lated, disjointed and unorgan ized. Its organization is a nation al, economic and social neces sity. It is more ditllcult to or ganize a scattered rural popula tion than a concentrated one, but the great need Is to give the runil population at least ap proximately the primary advan tages which the town enjoys. The town Is organization, and because of Its organization and of Its consequent advantages It has tended to attract to It the most ambitious youth of the country. The task of rural or ganization Is difficult, but as the greatest educator of America has said. "The difficulty of a task constitutes no reason for declining IL" And In this way lies the largest promise for na tional upbuilding nnd stability. David F. Houston, Secretary of Agriculture. BANKERS AID RURAL LIFE. Stat and Federal Help Urged In This Direction. Resolutions providing for changes In the conditions of rural life In this country, which It was stnted would decrease the burdens and increase Uie opportunities of the farmer nnd his family, were adopted at the third an nual meeting of the committee of agri cultural development and education of , the American Honkers' association. Vocational training lu the public schools, plans to mukc the marketing of farm products easier and more profitable aud federal aid to make furm demonstration work more gen eral throughout the country were among the things urged. The resolutions in part follow: "Our committee, being especially con cerned with agriculture and Instruc tion in that line in the country schools, realizes that It needs and must have the largest measure of aid to the end that the country boy and girls may be placed on an equal footing with those In town. Therefore we urge both state and federal aid la this direction. As fa nn demonstration work through local or country demonstrators has proved to be the most practical and effective means of Improving framing methods and as the govern ment has contributed thousands of dollars toward such work in certain states and little or nothing In others, we indorse and earnestly urge legis lation on the part of congress that will provide generous federal aid in all the states for such work."
