MAY IT ANT BAULKY 1TEAD WHEAT Ilfferroees la I'rire Are Being Considered By VniatlllA Farmers. PENDLETON. Or.. March 1. 6peclal. With barley quoted at $o a ton, U ma till County farmers are apeeulafing as to whether it Is not a more satisfactory crop to plant Ms Spring than wheat. At the ruling price wheat will bring about $60 a ton. That there will be some Increase In the acreage of barley In this part of the coun try U certain. Whether that Increase will mount to much is a question that will be nswered only when time comes for Spring owing, but many farmers have been fig uring on the change. It la known. There Is a considerable area of farm land n this county to be planted to Spring grain. The yield of barley In this section is alto gether satisfactory for the reason that it matures more rapidly than wheat and Is more likely to be beyond the danger point when the hot wind of late Summer arrive. The queetlon of feeding barley In prefer- ence to wheat also la Interesting the ranch ers. At present prices, wheat held for seed l much -better Investment as feed than is the barley that la now being fed and here la possibility that the barley will be e.d as seed and the wheat used by farmers who are ftjedlng stock.

CHICAGO MARKET STRONGER With Prices Already at Maximum Limit for 1'ulurcs, Bulls Have Xo Opportunity to Speculate.. Oats Arrivals Small. CHICAGO. March 1. Virtual certainty of a liberal and sustained export demand gave firmneas today to th corn market. From the outset, prices showed a slight advance and there was a steady cloao at the umt as yesterday's finish to a shade higher, with March $1.27 and' May $1.27. The outcome In oats ranged from a shade off to gains of fec. Provisions rose. 6 ft 7c to 22c net. Corn- traders devoted chief attention to notices that until March 10 the Food Ad ministration would take 600.000 to 750.000 bushels daily for export. The fact, how ever, that the market for future deliveriea waa already at the maximum limit on values left but little Incentive to speculate by the bulls. Oats averaged hlcher as a result of con tinued scantiness of arrivals. Bearish e- tlmates of farm reserve led at times thouith to considerable eiiin!t. especially of the May option.

It is true that preferences as to Govern mental requirements operate to circumscribe ctivitics iti certain civilian enterprises, and this factor, coupled with the conceded shortage of many kinds of manufactured goods, tletera ordinary trading from rising to lUi fulleat height; but even so, the gen era I tendency is toward broader develop metitfl, except where ultra non-essentials an concerned. Winter wheat vrop news Is more favora ble, propaganda to increase the growing ot foodstuftH is being transformed into action, industrial outputs, give evidence of being undamped, labor disturbances are negligible, war production Is ahead of schedule, trade In staple goods is ex pant ling and marked by considerable inter-den ling between job bers, this being especially true of textile. paucity ot which la noteworthy and demand for which looms large, notwithstanding up ward bounding arices. In fact, dearth of textile creates fears ot a famine later on and causes retail merchants, many of whom vial ted the larger markets thia week, to bur more freely than they should like to do. On the other hand, so-called luxuries are comparatively neglected, but even in this re spect, odd incidents are numerous enough to develop exceptions to the rule, and in a general way buying ot spring goods by the ultimate consumer ia still held in leash awaiting Spring weather.

CONTRACT BASIS OF SUIT City's Agreement Willi American 1.H France Company Under I'irc. Suit is to be brought against the City Council to determine the legality of tho recent transaction whereby the city leased six new automobile fire engines for a period of two years with the un derstanding that at the end of that time the machines would be purchased. Kepresentatives of companies that com peted against tile American Le France Company, which received the contract. have retained George Shepherd as at torney in a suit to test the legality of the action. The city advertised for bids for the machines, and then, instead of buying mem outright, took a lease on them. This was done in order that payment might be extended over a period of two years instead of the entire sum having to be paid at once. ' DAILY CITY STATISTICS Birth.

LAW DESIRED Municipal Judgs Wants Ordir nance to Cover Cases. PRESENT STATUTE LACKING Court Toints Out to Mayor That Convictions of Many AVobblies Xow Impossible Under Sim ple Cliarge of Vagrancy. Municipal Judge riossman yesterday directed an appeal to Mayor Baker for n ordinance definitely defining: the particular offenses usually committed by members of the Industrial Workers of the World, which, he says, should be provided in order that they may readily be found guilty of that specific offense: Heretofore, Uiey have been charged with vagrancy, but, as a matter of fact, many of them are not. in the strict legal sense, guilty of that, it is pointed out by the judge. In few, if any instances. Judge Ross man says, have his decisions on mem bers of this organization been upheld when carried to the Circuit Court and many times Juries of business men have freed them. Cases Arc Cited. His request to the Mayor follows; Since I have been occunvlnsr thia office, we have frequently had cases in this court in which the defendant was accused of being vagrant that is, "an idle and dissolute person without visible means of support. At the time of the trial tho minelnal evi dence against him has been that he wan a member of the 1. W. V. Ot the 20 1. W. Ws. recently bet ore this court, one owned a live-acre tract of land in orpRoii. Another hud $200 cash; others had employment, etc. When William Ford appealed his case to' the Circuit Court on a charge of vafiiancy, the Circuit Court released hlin on tho ground that the case presented apalnst him did not constitute vaprancy; and .mrles com posed of collie of Portland's best business men havo acquitted 1. W. W.h on this rhartin I u this court because no case under t b vapiancy ordinance had been made out against the defendant. M e s ti re J s S ti p ce t ed . We are all loath to do this, anil however much we may dislike the defend tint's dis loyalty to the United States, nevertheless it is really Infrequent that the defendant it brought within tho definition of the va grancy ordinance us it has been enacted into law. However, after a considerable amount of experience with members of thia organiza tion, 1 have found that a Rood many of them have In their possession hooka i "sabot a k" and also atickeretteri advocating tho destruction of their blankets, beddinfi, etc. A member of the 1. W. W. who ia idle and dissolute is generally not a very destructive individual, but those who am employed or who are organlzcra for tho or; ganlxutton. liko William Ford, and are dis tributing books on .sabotage or paRshiK around atickers advocating the destruction of property are had individuals, who should be dealt w ith severely. I would, therefore, respectfully Mipset that an ordinance be passed making it possible to deal with these Individual along these lines. i belie vo It would be appro priate to pass an ordinance making" it un lawful for any person to ndvocato the de struct ion of property and to find in one's possession literature advocating- such de struction he made prima facie evidence of the. violation of the ordinance. I believe that this would ninkn It possi ble to reach the very element that the pros ecution seeks to lay Us hands upon fa th cases that have been brought boforo this court.
