Parr, man ager of the' Portland Steamship com pany and assistant manager of the E. J. Dodge company, who returned yes terday from a circuit of the United Htates, visiting Washington, New York. Chicago, and other cities. "In other words, I believe that the large business enterprises are going to adopt President Wilson's program; they are going to adopt themselves to I he directions given by the administra tion, and we may expect a stimulus to investment and an Improvement of conditions," explained Mr. Parr, wfto based his conclusion on careful Inquiry and study. President's Promises Kept. "President Wilson promised to do certain things as president. He has kept those promises. He has kept them with a strength of purpose, a clearness of vision, a compreliAnslvc iens of accomplishment and a direct ness that have surprised and startled all business organizations. "Ho has done the things he promised to do In the first year of his adminis tration. He acted in the face of oppo sition from all big business influence. The reason these interests are chang ing now from hostility to acquiescence U because they are beginning, first, to realize that the president is funda mentally right; second, that business cannot ho successfully tied up for three years' time. "In his Fourth of July address, you j win rfiiit-iiiorr, ne asKea ir motse wno are the joudst critics of the admin istration hud first at heart the gen eral welfare or their own selfish 'In terests. I think he lias done right in Inviting the representatives of large business enterprises to confer with him, to state their side of the case and to make certain that all are given consideration in the president's plana. Tew Were Getting Kich. "This 'much is certain: Under the old regime a few, people were getting rich mighty fast; a lot of people were getting poor mighty fast. Some had been living too high; many had been living too low. Land prices, for in stance, were too much on a speculative basis, not fixed by te value of the land for use. There had to be adjust ment sooner or later and it was better soon than late, in my opinion. "Had the, president watted until the last year of his administration big business Interests might have been able to tie up business until the end of his term. But they can't very well sit back and do nothing for three years in the- face of bumper crops and cheap money accumulating in the banks. "To my mind President Wilson has acted with unexampled courage. Pos terity will praise him more than the present." easela Carrying Capacity Xoads Mr. Parr will be here until Thurs day looking into the affairs of the Portland Steamship company. He poke most hopefully of the Portland Alaska steamship service this morn ing. The ships are carrying as much freight as they have capacity for. Sal man shipments from Alaska are be ginning to be received here. By next year larger vessels, better adapted to the service, may be secured.

There is . a vast difference in the quality even In the same sectional Smut is much more prevalent than usual In the Palouse and in the Big Bend and there is a good sprinkling of it in the Walla Walla country and lri Umatilla county. f While opinions differ as to the real son for so much smut in the Pacifi northwest wheat crop this season, th general idea 15 that the warm weathet was delayed for too long a period that the cold spell was of unusual duration. Contrary to the previous Ideas of the trade and producers, the wheat crop of the Paciflo northwest will probably be worth a much as the growers had expected when their Ideas were for a bigger production. Barley Crop Keoord Break-. The barley crop is really a record breaker In the northwest this season. This Is somewhat of a surprise, for It has been believed all along that the growers would not show as much bar ley as usual owing to the low prices and' poor market prospects. In some of the leading districts, and especially in Columbia county, Washington, there was a smaller acreage planted to bar ley this season, but what grain is planted is doing unusually well and the average yield per acre is greater than usual. The latest survey of the barlej jtop of the three states shows: j Bushels.

Unlike the wheat, the barley crop of the three states shows unusual good quality this season. There Is a far greater per cent of No. 1 brewing than usual. While the grain in some dis tricts is not as heavy per bushel as last season, there was far heavier "stooling," therefore making a greater total output i Only a fractional decrease is shown In the probable output of oats in the three states compared with a year ago. This is one of the Teal big surprises of present season. The total oats crop ojf the three states is estimated at 31, 100.000 bushels compared with an esti mate of 31,600,000 bushels a year ago. The quality of this year's oats crop In Oregon, Idaho and Washington Is unusually good. The crop estimate is figured as follows: Oregon '. . Washington Idaho . ...

The far greater acreage, together with the fact that farmers have been instructed in the better methods of corn culture, insures a tremendous output this sea son. In all sections the growth of corn has been remarkable since the hit weather appeared. . ; A.' J."
