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.
Commission-house buvlncr lifted nrnvt.-

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. '

WAV. 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.
INDUSTRIES TO BE AIDED
Organization f .Securities Company
Will Jto VniierlaUcn.
Several riticns conspicuous in Port
land's business ami finaiicuil circles

tion of ii plan or 01 (trtniJsinir a securi

proposed orKanization will be to secure
and finance new industries and to ex
tend financial aid to other industries
already established in this community
which may bo in need of temporary
assistance. ?
"When a plan of organization has been
tentatively outlined, probably in the
next 10 days, business men of the city
generally will be asked to join in tho
incorporation of a company.
