The wholesale price of patent flour

' There are two reasons for the advanc

of hard wheat flour, 20 cents a barrel in
soft wheat grades, and the very, sharp
advances during the ' last few days in
the price of cooking fats manufactured
from cottonseed oil.

Considering the price that Is being paid
for - hard wheat today premiums, of
about 40 cents a bushel above the mint

an additional dollar, rise is more than

There were 'abundant indications
that the long fight in the senate to
kill the treaty of peace with Ger
many was on the verge of final col
lapse. 1
Even senators belonging to the group
known as "bitter enders" admitted the
defeat of the Shantung amendment on
Thursday had dealt their, opposition to.
ratification a staggering blow from
which it Is unlikely to recover.
.. An eleventh hour filibuster with Sen
ator LaFollette (R., Wisconsin) speak

ened by some of them, but the Republi
can leaders expressed the belief that
they would be able to stave it Off. -Senator
Lodge, the majority leader.
declared that final action on the treaty
might be secured within' two weeks.
If : this could be accomplished, by the
plan of the Republican leaders to speed
further consideration, of the treaty, it
would .- fulfill Senator Penrose's recent
prediction" that the document would be
disposed of "one way or the Other by
November. 1." . Penrose jstill stands by
ma prediction.
Senator Penrose r Is given credft for
having -counseled his colleagues to ex

Probably the most critical flnan
cial situation in the history of the
city is now facing Portland, city of
flclals today declared. A strenuous
campaign for what they character
ized as the most -meritorious and im
portant measure submitted to the
neonle of Portland in years was
planned at a special session of the
city council this morning.
To meet municipal needs it is proposed
to acquaint the voters of Portland thor
ouxhly on the existing conditions in
order that they may ballot intelligently
at the special election November 13, on
the question of increasing the city, tax
levy from eight to 11 mills.
Suggestions to place other measures
on the ballot were promptly quashed at
the meeting. The additional tax is so
important, commissioners protested, that
it must not be weighted down with other
requests of the voters.
In .aaiklng' the people for the three ad
ditional mills city officials point to, de
mands for improvements of all sorts
and added public service. The greatest
improvement program ever before the
city is faced in . 1920, commissioners
show, and they say an expanded medi

Equipment of various kinds and main
