Oreat oarelty of VUlatuffa, ;
In every section. Of the Faelfjo north
west at this time there Is an unusual
scarcity of supplies in . the tnlllstuff
markot This scarcity Is becoming mors
Fronounced as the demand -. for flour
rotn the - orient keeps in check, and
with the approach or warmer weather
: the shortage wllt become acute. At
A this time. In fact for several months
pant, record breaking-values have been
; ruling on all mlllstuffs along the Pa
cific coast. .While prices are the hta-h-.-
set ever reached In the history of Fa
elflo coast milling, the exorbitant values
- do not seem to hold In check any por
tion of the demand. . Of late every mil
ler In the Pacific northwest territory
eould have readily sold three times as
much mlllfeed as he -did, providing ha
bad the stuff to dispose of. That this
condition will rule until after the new
rroD season onens is the eeneral oolnlon
of the milling trade, 'the-only possible
way for the supplies' to Increase being
resumption or me oriental riour trace.
Even with this It would take fully six
weeks to supply the, present Orders on
. rue.
Wheat Market Advanoed lo.
An advance of lo a bushel la today
roted In the local wheat market. Trade
U still on a very small basis owing to
the scant supplies held and the ability
;of holders to check the movement to
market for an Indefinite period. Millers
are at this time offering on the basis
,of tlo for btuestam, lo for club. 89c
' for red and tlo for Willamette valley.
Brln BsJmoa From Fagot Bound.
Owing to the continued scarcity of
salmon at Columbia- river points, the
local trade fas been forced to send, to
Fuget sound for supplies and this morn
ing the trade is offering sound chtnooks
tat lOo a pound the same price as has
'been ruling for Columbia river fish.
Cheese Market Bows Quarter Cent.
There Is considerable weakness in the
local cheese market owing to the very
; heavy supplies. Outside markets, whtls
atlll calling for supplies, are buying
only in small lota and thia has forced
the local selling price down as low as
- 12 o for flat and 11 94 e for Young
Americas. . '

Lastern Oregon, eastern Washington
nd Ad,h? Cloudy with possibly show
ers tonight and Bundey.-'.-
The warmer weather of the past two
days has been a wonderful help-to most
of the growing crops. Cherries needed
sunshlns badly, ss did strawberries.
Reports from the Hood River section
state that the strawberries sre now
ripening very ; fast- The apple pros
pects of that section are better than
they were two weeks ago.
According to latest Information com
ing from the hop fields of this state,
warm weather at once will be all that
will save the crop from being ruined
by mold and vermin. While but a
small amount of. Vermin" Is thus far
reported on the vines, the number is In
creasing. AS to the crop conditions
regarding hops, advices from the va
rious sections seem hopelessly mixed.

"Lewlston Is no longer a country ;

three new canneries in the city and have
secured a Portland cement works that
means the Investment of $500,000 at
Lewlston," he said. "The Commercial
club bought the site and gave it to the
cement people. . The city of Lewlston
will this -year spend 1300,000 for street

much for northern Idaho. ; Every com'

much egoism in some of the larger Pa- "

the idea that they will become
'the greatest.' no matter whether or not
they cooperate with other communities. ,
This idea Is a -mistake. The el ties and .
the countrv communities must pull to .

good of the country." . j , :
