Federal grain inspection rules now followed by the Htates of Ore gon. Washington and Idaho may be changed materially if the plans formulated at a conference of offi cials of the thnee states, held Tues day in the offices of the Oregon dis trict of the United States depart ment of agriculture, are approved by the secretary of the interior. A resolution asking the secretary's ap- . proval was passed, and favorable action is anticipated. The changes sought would, have effect not alone in the three north- 'western states, but throughout the nation. Under the new in a ho law the state commissioner of agriculture is empow ered to make rules on inspection and Trading to conform with the rules of the federal government and other gov ernmental agencies. The law provides that negotiable receipts shall be issued to farmers upon delivery of grain or other products to bonded warehouses, and goes farther than the laws of Ore gon and Washington in that it makes bonded warehouses public utilities. In surance policies wtll be issued with ne gotiable receipts under the Idaho law, thereby lending the receipts an inde structible value. They can be sold in any state for the par value of the prod ucts they represent. The secretary of the interior was also asked to approve the Harvard and Crowe patent grain tester, the inventors ' of which, Spokane men, were at the conference. The tester, according to conferees, will do the work of present official testers and costs only about one eighth as much. riCE3Si:VG TJXIFOHM One benefit a state derives from adopting the federal grain inspection 'and grading rules is that grain Inspec tors who qualify will be licensed by the government and their certification will be good anywhere in the country.- If a farmer's product is inspected and tested in Idaho and shipped to Chicago or Min neapolis or Portland it will not "change its grade" in transit. Idaho was the first state to adopt federal rules on bonded warehouses. In spection "is now being made at every warehouse Instead of at terminals alone. The most important change in federal rules asked by the conference is one which would cause the negotiable receipt i to cover grading by composite sample. By this provision a farmer might have his grain sampled by the wagon or truck load and all the samples placed In the tester together at the close of the harvest season, when the grade of his entire crop would be .determined. trices yovr variable A uniform charge for cleaning smut will also be asked. At present the charge for cleaning smut, which is done at mills, varies.- The conference asked in its resolutions that a charge of 35 cents a ton on bulk grain and 65 cents a ton on sacked grain be set at the legal price in all parts of the country. Grain inspectors under present federal rules, which are being made law by state legislatures, are being removed from political influence, according to Miles Cannon of Boise. Thej must qual ify in federal examinations and may not be removed from office without. proof of sufficient cause. -'' Grain treating in Idaho is done at the university at Moscow under supervision of the dean of- the experimental station. State university testing is part of the -federal rules. Oregon and Washington state -rules conform in nearly all re spects with the national' rules. The conference sought approval by federal department heads of the plan to guarantee negotiable receipts by in surance and bond of the warehouses. OREGON' IS AFFECTED The change in federal rules will affect Oregon as well "as Washington, Idaho and other states. TRAFFIC COMMTTEE MAJORITY OPPOSED TO GATEWAY PRIVILEGE Right Granted S. I. Road Would Divert Freight From Government-Controlled Lines. 'Contract Given For Road Work in Vicinity of Kelso Kelso. Wash.. May 21. The contract for the grading and graveling of six and eight-tenths miles of the Pacific high way from Kelso north has been let by the state highway board to the Gen eral Construction company of Spokane, whose bid was $U1.517. This project will-complete the grading of the high way, between Kelso and Castlerock and . involves some unusually heavy cuts and grading, particularly at Rocky Point, north of Kelso, near Ostrander and at Stockport Hill, north of Ostrander. Right of way needed for the road, changes is now being secured. XELSO TO WELCOME HEROES ... HOME ON FOURTH OF JULY Kelso. Wash., May 21. Kelso will have a rousing patriotic celebration of the Fourth of July, according to the i plans of the Kelso Commercial club. . Mayor George F. Plamondon. B. M. Atkins and Waldo Harris were appointed a committee to manage the celebration. :. which will be in the nature of a wel come home celebration for Kelso's re turning soldiers, sailors and marines. The committee is arranging to secure an airplane for - exhibition flights and : the speaker of the day will be a re turned soldier, i Sif ton Woman Passes Vancouver, Wash., May 21. Mrs. Jennie Awtrey, formerly of Nebraska but for the 'past two years a resident of this county, died early this morning at the home of her - daughter in Sif ton. Mrs. Awtrey was 63 years of age. Fu neral services will be held Thursday at 2 :Z o'clock from Knapp's " funeral chapel, with interment in the Park Hill cemetery. Argiing that the granting of the Spo kane gateway privilege to the Spokane International railway would divert busi ness from the lines under government control and thus reduce the revenues the federal administration gains fr-jm trans continental shipments of freight over lines under its control, a majority de cision of the members of the Portland District Freight Traffic committee recommended that the gateway privi lege be denied following a hearing be fore them Tuesday. Because the Spokane Internationa railway made no reciprocal agreement to the government in case a through rating privilege was granted, W. D. Skinner, a member of the freight com mittee, contended that extension of the Spokane gateway privilege would take traffic from the railways of the United states and decrease their revenues. The Spokane International is not under fed eral control and is subsidiary to the Canadian Pacific and Soo line, with which it connects for transcontinental shipments. Representatives of the Spokane Inter national have been fighting for the Spokane gateway grant, letters were months and have had the matter of gateway privileges under consideration since the road was taken over by the Canadian Pacific. The representatives contended that the administration was In favor of granting their claims and alleged private discrimination on the part of members of the committee in holding up their request. In an effort to substantiate their claims that the government favored the Suokane gateway grant, letters were read from railroad administration offi cials at Washington, D. C, before whom the 'matter had been brought several times. The wording of certain phrases lead to several heated discussions as to their meaning. Shippers present claimed that the Spokane International would allow bet ter car service but were unable to say definitely that shipment via Canada would give them better rates. Representatives of the railroad claimed further that the refusal of the committee to grant the Spokane gate way privileges immediately was a dis crimination. They cited the fact that rates had been given by the administra tion for other gateways. Yakima to Vote on Two-Platoon Plan Yakima. Wash., May 21. A special election will be called In the next 10 days to have the taxpayers of the city pass upon the question of a two-platoon system for the fire department.

The change will add 11 men to the payroll and increase the expenditure by $14,000 annually. Seaplane May Be Brought to City During Festival Washington, May 21. (WASHING TON" BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.)
