While allied food buyers remained idle and neutral nations continued con tracting for grains and food, debate began on the food control bill In con gress today. The few senators who oppose It de nounced the measure which would per mit the president to conserve the na tion's food supplies for the allies and America. Reed and Gore in the senate and Representative Joe Cannon in the house employed all their oratory to block the measure. "This bill will bring famine lnl18 shouted Gore. "Hoover admits wheat and flour didn't go up until ?ast year's crop was used up and until men of his ilk began their cry of famine," Reed shouted. Export Control Hot Enough Gore contended the bill will cost wheat growers $250,000,000 and the corn growers $500,000,000. To the argument the president could stop shipments of food to neutrals who are trans-shipping It to Germany through execution of the embargo sec tion of the espionage law, which he has now signed, advocates of the food control measure replied: 3ut he can't stop such agents even German secret agents from buying up vast quantities and holding it In storage.

The steamer Bailey Gatzert shot Cascade rapids Tueslay arternoon carrying 125 p6sengers, the first passage of the rapids by a passenger steamer ever made.

Baker, Captain Martineau, tow ing a wharf barge, made the run, has a steamer negotiated the rapid. Passengers Enjoy Sensation The passengers aboard hugely en joyed the sensation. The craft passed up stream with only 5 inches mor1 rise in the Columbia needed before the middle locks could not be op erated. When she returned at 6 p. m. there was 41 feet 6 inches of water and the locks were completely sub merged. "Aren't we going to go through the locks?" asked one woman. "I have always wanted to be able to aay that I fead been through the locks." "Madam, you will do aoie to ten your grandchildren that you were one of 125 people who have shot tne Cascade rapids," answered Purser Kingsbury. Captain Archie Geer, veteran of many years' service, entered the select circle when he piloted the big steamer through the rapids, only five men had achieved the honor. Other Trips Hecalled. Captain John McNulty was the first man, taking the steamer R. U. Thomp son through in June 3, 1882. Captain McKenzie followed with the Elvina four days later while an O. R. & X. company wnarr Boat was taken through a week arter the Alvina. On July 6 Captain H. Martineau followed with the steamer Mountain Queen. He later took the Gold Dust, May 25, 1884, and the steamer D. S. Baker through, on June 26. 1893. the last until the Gatzert's run Tuesday. Captain J. W.
