NO OCCASION
TO FEAR IJELAY
SAYS HOOVER
There I no occasion for any farmer
becoming panicky over the temporary
delay in wheat movement and dispos
ing ot his crop at less than govern
ment prices, according to a telegram
received yesterday by W, R. Ayer, food
aumlnlBtrator for Oregon, from Her
bert Hoover, federal food administra
tor, Mr. Hoover, in his telegram, ex
lain the delay In absorbing the wheat
crop as due to an increased demand
for supplies by General Pershing be
cause of the rapid advance of the
fighting lines. This demand has re
quired that a number of train vessels
be diverted to the transportation of
other supplies, . thus filling all sear
board and terminal elevators to capa
city and checking, for the time being,
further shipments.
The delay, Mr. Hoover explains, is
only temporary and farmers are asked
to have patience In the emergency and
hold their wheat for the full govern
ment prices.

election In Oregon, and
"Whereas in the death of Justice

therefore necessary that a candidate
be placed before the legal voters of
the State of Oregon, as an indepen
dent candidate, to fill the vacancy
caused by the death ot said Justice
Moore, and
"Whorene, you having served as
Circuit Judge for a long period of
time, and have become familiar with
Judicial dutes, and by reason of your
experience, honesty and fairness, the
people of your district, county and
state have confidence In your hones
ty and Integrity, and
"Whereas, In your younger days
when the flag of our nation was as
suulted, and our young men were call
ed upon to "volunteer and defend the
honor of our nation, you responded and
went to the front and remained upon
the tiring line until the Spanish ag
gression was subdued, and therefore
by reason of your past record, we, the
members of the bar association in and
for the fifth Judicial district of Oregon
most respectfully petition you to al
low your name to be used and written
In upon the ballot for associate jus
tice of the Supreme Court of Oregon

EXPECTED
mm
VERY 800
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9. Aa early
response to President Wilson's not
of Inquiry to the German Chancellor
is expected by American officials.
While realizing that an answer to
the three pertinent questions put to
the Prince ot Baden will be very dif
ficult if the original proposal ot the
German government was not sincere,
officials ar confident that internal
conditions in Germany and the tre
mendous exigencies, of the military
situation will force speedy action by
the Chancellor if he hoi to prolong
the existence of his Cabinet beyond a
few days.
So far as the hold of the govern
ment on the people is concerned, con
ditions in Austria areeven far worse
than those in Germany.
This fact is calculated to affect
strongly the German government,
which is understood to entertain grave
doubts of the strength of purpose of
the dual monarchy and to fear that
Austria, or perhaps Hungary acting
independently, will follow Bulgaria in
seeking unconditional peace.
This would leave Germany to wage
the war alone, for it is a foregone
conclusion that Turkey already Is lost
to the central alliance.
The pointed inquiry directed to
Prince Maximilian as to whether he is
speaking merely for the constituted
authorities of the empire who have so
far conducted the war will, it is be
lioved, be very embarrassing.
If the response is in the affirma
tive, Germany's proposal will be re
jected, as the President has already
given notice that he will have no
