' , . 1 . . 1 . , a X - ' uon wtuca win aiu mm in nis mienaea effort to have the government allow the same price for wheat in Oregon as at Chicago. "1 am interested in the 1918 wheat crop," said Senator McNary. "and I In tend to introduce at the next session of congress an amendment to the food control bill which will put Oregon wheat on a parity with wheat grown in the middle west or east.'. , - Will Seflne Markets "This will be done by defining pri mary markets. The food bill fixes the basic price of wheat at primary mar kets, and under interpretation put on food control bill these markets are Chicago, New Orleans and Galveston," "Under normal times the price of wheat in Portland would, be the same as In Chicago, and I see no ' reason why It - should not be the same in 1918, as by that time there ought to be plenty ;.of wooden ships to carry all the wheat tbe Pacific coast will have jto export. About 80 per cent of the wheat produced in the North west is milled and consumed here, so It should flow into the Portland mar ket and farmers should get the same price as though -it were sold at Chi cago." , Senator McNary said he would have the cooperation of Senator Chamber lain and Congressman Sinnott in get ting through such an amendment. which under present conditions would add' 15 cents a bushel to the price of wheat. Senator McNary was highly pleased with Hermiston as a possible canton ment site, and declared If cantonment should be established in Oregon that 11 it IfL j would be the logical place for; it. The site, . which Is chiefly on . gov ernment land, is 'well drained, expan sive and easily accessible from; three trunk , line railroads. . . - Will Jseport Tarorably . j Senator McNary said he and Senator Chamberlain wljl make r favorable re port to the war department on the pro posed site. While at Hermiston, ' Senator Mc Nary looked into the Hermiston irri gation project, which is being built by the government, and as a result he will urge additional appropriations for further development of the project. - ."By the expenditure of approximate ly 8100,000. 3000 acres could be added to the project." he said, "and by ex tending the main canal a large area would be reclaimed. It is a very favor able opportunity for the government to develop irrigation." Hendricks Hall at It looks today. Woodland Wonders At Case of Eggs Woodland. WasK", Nov. 17.
