come up recently and which interfere
with the smooth working of the food

Price for Coast to Be Settled.
I "With the conference between the
Western wheatgrowers' committee and
the delegation at "Washington arranged.
It Is believed here that the wheat
price for the Pacific Coast will be
definitely settled by the . middle of
next month. In the meantime, the
Coast mills, Mr. Hoover announced, will
have to operate on the Chicago wheat
basis.
While wheat selling In the North
west is still far from free, dealers re
port a gradual increase in the move
ment, as many farmers appear to have
reached the conclusion that the Coast
price will remain where it now stands,
that is, on the Chicago basis of $2.20.

between the Coast and Chicago.

QIESTIONFU BY MR. SPEIER.
Confidence la Expressed In Two Offi
cers Charged With Keeping Con-
flacated Whisky.
In vestigation into the charges pre
ferred against Patrolmen Glesner and
Love were continued by Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Ryan yesterday.
The officers are charged by Chris
Lunstedt. a watchman on the steamer
Breakwater, with confiscating a large
quantity of liquor on the night of Sep
tember 2 and that they never turned
the liquor over to the police.
Captain Speier, of the Harbor Patrol,
Teturned to Portland Wednesday night
from New York and yesterday stated
that he was ready to fight for his men
in the case and that he would stake his
position on the stand that the patrol
men were not guilty of the charge.
"These men. Glesner and Love, have
done everything in thir power to stamp
out the traffic of liquor from California
on these ships and it is hard for me
even to suspect them of the offense.
"IT the truth were known these men
on .the ship have probably 'framed'
the story to cause the men to lose their
positions on the harbor patrol.. Never
theless, I am going to dig into this
matter to the very bottom, and 1 think
in the end some persons will get what
is coming to them: whether it will be
Lunstedt or Cleaner and Love, if they
are guilty of the offence, depends on
the evidence submitted."
Mr. Ryan stated yesterday that Lun
stedt had been taken to the steamer
Breakwater yesterday to identify the
men whom he said were on the steamer
the night of the alleged raid, but that
he was unable to find one man that
Was present on that night.
200 ACRES IN GARDENS
School Children Show Increased In'
terest in Food Production.
Home gardens tilled by echool chil
dren the past Summer aggregated more
than 200 acres and numbered more than
6000 gardens. . There were 33 school
gardens, varying in size from the
60x1 00-foot plot at Alameda Park to the
four-acre tract at the Franklin High
School. "School gardens covered 16
acres, nine more than last year.
Gardening has been more a success
than ever before in the Portland
schools and attention is being turned
now to Winter gardens and to pre
paring the soil for next Spring, when it
is likely a. bigger area than ever will
be given to agriculture by pupils of the
public schools!
