to atop the killing of hen and pullet, atocka

A schooner from Australia with a big cargo
of 1200 tons of wheat from Melbourne is due
to arrire here within a ahort time and la ex
pected, to go to the Crown Mills, operated by
Balfour, Guthrie As Co., who are agents of the
Australian government. Additional liberal aup
pliss of English colony wheat are expected here
within the next few weeka and aa this supply
is to be moved overland to the Atlantic sea
board and then to Europe in the form of flour,
it will causae further congestion of rail traffic.
Speculative interests of the Pacific Northwest
do not take kindly to the quoting of maximum
prices for coarse graina by the Chicago Board
of Trade, even though the Quotation favor to
a very considerable extent those speculators who
purchased some time ago.
Coarse grain market locally eontinuea a very
nominal affair around previous prioea although

The new season for wool aelline vriTI twin anonl
Goat shearing will aoon be under way, and abeep

Eastern interest are muoh more willing te

limner gain aa a wool selling point will be lost.
cry strong demand ia ahowine for all flaeoa
offerings, despite ell the talk of interested parties
in reporting a lack of activity. This talk is made
public for no other purpose but to causa grower
to loa their high priced idea regarding wool. I
Even the further offering of Australian wool in

WHEAT SUBSTITUTES

Dealers and Consumers Alike Ar Up
Against Stone Wall Proposition
Use of Whole Potatoes With Credit
W ill Aid the Situation Here.
Tha knpoesibtiity of eecuring ao stalled substi
tutes for wheat product is causing grave concern
among wholesalers, retaSer and eonaumsrs alike.
Trading substitute, ueh aa corn meal and
rice meal are ao scarce that in many place they
are not to be obtained. The mill are over
loaded with orders, and wholesalers are unable to
secure delivery to make return to retailers, and
tha latter cannot therefore aell either wheat floor
or substitutes to the consumer. It is a bad situa
tion at tha bast.
While potato floor la a subetltuts tor wheat
products, still th coat of such stock ia so great
and supplies so scant that It ia impossible for tha
average consumer to osa it. Many are willing to
utilise potatoes for thia purpose, but this is not
counted aa a substitute by the administration when
the public wanta to buy the wheat product.
Potatoea'are not only relatively cheap, pot tna
supplies, are ao heavy that they have become bur
densome to all handlers. At thia time there is
practically nd outaide bnslnea available in tha
potato trade. It ia tha poorest demand known tor
many year at thia period, and only a amall per
eent of the Oregon crop haa yet been moved. Ia
this respoot Oregon ia in a. worse position than
most state, because in Washington, Idaho and
California fanner sold rather freely while the de
mand waa present, but most Oregon grower have
been asking front 15 to 25o per cental more than

PILES OF SUPPLIES
AT
Munitions of War in Great Quan
tities Stored for Many
v Months, Says Traveler.
Vancouver, B. C Feb. 23. (TJ. P.)
The city of Vladivostok and th district
surrounding It to a 'distance of three
miles are piled several feet high with
all kinds of munitions of war, railway
equipment, automobiles, and, in fact,
very conceivable article, the greater
part of which was snipped from the port
of Vancouver during th Romanoff re
gime.
A few months ago titer were several
Canadian and United States railroad en
gineers trying to assemble the rolling
stock, but the majority of those men
have either left or are now leaving, so
declared J. Howden today to a represen
tative of the Vancouver Province.
Howden. who has just returned from
Russia, Is a veteran of the South African
war.
His opinion of the Russian Is not very
high. There is, according to the state
ment he made, graft from tha Baltic
sea to the Pacific Coast. Tha Russian
seems to live, move and have his being
in that word, and that is one reason, he
declared, why tha country has retro
graded to such, an extent, Trotsky and
Lenlne are not the men, he stated, to
undertake tha government of a country
like Russia. Though he may have cer
tain qualities, .Trotsky's training in the
kitchen of a big hotel In New York Is
not the sort of training, said Mr. How
den, that fits a man to handle a terri
tory like Russia.
Japanese Maintain Order
Tokio, Feb. 1 (By Mail). (U. P.)
Presence of a squadron of Japanese war
ships in the harbor of Vladivostok has
been successful in restoring quiet and
maintaining order at the Russian port,
according to all reports sent here.
Since the squadron arrived, conditions
have returned nearly to tha normal,
and, although factions of Russian revo
lutionists are said to be decidedly cov
etous of millions of dollars' worth of
munitions and railroad equipment
shipped to Vladivostok by tha allies, it
has not been molested.
Lieutenant Colonel Arakl of the Jap
anese general staff, who has been in
Russia since August, 1914, spending
much time on the Qallclan front, has
returned to Toklo and reports chaotic
conditions throughout tha country. He
declared both Germans and Russians ar
maintaining their lines with but small
forces as a result of tha armistice agree
ment. In Russia, ha said, financial and
Industrial systems are entirely dislo
cated and Russian paper money has be
come practically worthless.
