(Written for the United press.) I'OKTUAND, July 18. Aside from the other grain crops the production of wheat alone in the three Pacific northwest etute toduy indicates a total value of 1 08,000,000 compared with an estimated vaue of $75,000, 000 of. the 1910 crop in the same sections. Many more millions of dollars will be added to the grand total value o( the northwest cereal crop by oats nd l-arley which promise to show umiHual value. While the Kenonil cereal crops of th three states will be somewhat be low that of the bumper production of 1916. atill Oreffon. -Idaho and Waah itiKton jtiowern are promised a far greater num for their year's labor than ever before known.

PENDLETON, OREGON, THURSDAY, SEA AND AIR OFFENSIVE IS VITAL TO Naval Authorities Declare Amer ica and Allies Must Make Tremendous Effort to Check Diver Menace. WASHINGTON, July 1. Atneri. ca und her allies mum make a tre mendous sea and air offensive against Germany If they would check the submarine menace, navul au thorities warned. The president is urged to consider the plan. Authorities predicted toe liermunx will win if only the piesen'. defensive anti-submarine work is continued. Millions of tons of shipping ra lost monthly, while only a third of that amount Is built to replace It. Decreased totals of ships sunk don't mean Improvement necessarily. The recent low total number of ships sunk showed an actual Increase m tonnage destroyed above the pre. vioiuf weeks. r The thing blocking such a move chiefly is the United States neceesar. lly must follow England, inasmuch as the offensive would have to oe cooperative. The American navy is too small to work alone. . Practically all the younger nnvy officers and many older ones oppvse merely defensive work. They say the offensive is a gamble witli good chances for allied success, and that defensive warfare Is only putting off temporarily the tiermun control of the seas. KSt'APK HUM! SOIHMH,.

SENATE GROWS TIRED OF SHIP Adopts Resolution Demanding information on Goethals Oenman' Row at Once WASHINGTON, July 1, National Impatience at the delay in the Ooeth-als- Denman row broke out In the senate when a resolution was adopted demanding information on the fight. Increased irritation has been evident in congress at the Goethals-Denman affair for several days, prompted by the widespread feeling throughout the country of the need for immediate ship construction as Bhown by Ger many's tremendous submarine suc cesses against allied shipping. . The resolution asks for full Infor mation of the causes and results of Ithe Goethals-Denman fight. It aska the facts concerning the methods of work of the shipping board and the number of contracts awarded. While Goethals and Denman slow down ship construction, the need for ships-grows. Records of submarine sinkings for the recent month shows a great increase in victims. Official reports indicate millions of tons monthly sinking. Goethals" highest hopes of 3 500.00 tons of new ships within the next -18 months is barely more than twice the submarine destruction of t.600.000 reported last month from London.

EX-BASEBALL HERO . FELLS COYOTE WITH Qr.E MIGHTY SWIPE Gunner Peterson, local concrete worker and former Tri-Htate league player, haa Just demonstrated that he is in big league class when it comes ts pegging a ooyote between the eyes with a rock. A few days ago Peter son and William McGarrigle were 1 fuming on upper McKay creek where i tne incident happened. The men had j built a fire to cook supper in the eve- nlng when they heard a disturbance among some cattle near by. A coyote was after the stock and a few min utes later he appeared at the camp making straight toward Peterson. Picking up a large rock the latter tave tne intruder the once over and with all his force slammed the coy ote directly between the eyes. The coyote dropped to the ground and a few more blows put him oat of ex istence. The actions of the coyote convinced the two men the animal had rn hies and hence -they ra rejoic ing at the fact Peterson's baseball arm was in good shape for defensive work. X"rTiF8 TO mUBrat.
