Wheat The only weakness during the session was at the outset after which prices responded in a convinc ing way to the firm alarming report regarding the possibility of spring wheat deterioration. The disturbance was In the form of a message from Nebraska claiming the appearance of black rust In the northern part of the state. . This could do no material dam age to the winter wheat but Its signif icance lies in the , likelihood that It might spread to Smith Dakota and other big spring wheat producing ter ritory. Another development In favr of higher prices was the report that foreigners are buying wheat for ship ment far ahead as October, contradict ing yesterday's advices which lacked truthful color that export Interests were trying to cancel wheat purchases. With the spring wheat crop facing Its critical period the September delivery Is naturally gaining preference over the July.

ANY ITI Portland Banker and President of American National Bank Enthusiastic About Wheat "Eastern Oregon will get back on Its feet financially before any other sec tion in the Northwest If the present crop prospects are realized." That was the statement, made this morning, of V. L- Thompson, presi dent of the American National Bank, and vice-president of the First Na tional Hank of Portland. Mr. Thompson arrived this morning from Portland, and he remained in Pendleton today. He will leave this evening for Chicago where he will at tend a conference of bankers of the Chicago federal reserve June 13 when an effort will be made to arrange for raising the balance of $25,000,000 needed from private sources to meet the needs of vrestern stockmen. , The conference at Chicago rose out of activities of Senators Stanfield of' Oregon and Gooding of Idaho and western bankers with J. P. Morgan. The eastern banker has promised that New York banks will furnish 50 per cent of the pool of $50,000,000 needed by livestock men1 provided banks in otner districts will matte up me oai ance. If the remainder of the money can be secured, the Industry wilt "be saved without government aid. Piiidlcton Loolfti Good" Mr. Thompson took time this morn ing for a trip over Umatilla county wheat fields, and he is enthusiastic over the condition of the crops here. "Present prospects are the best I've seen since 1907," he declared. "Pen. dleton and Umatilla county always good shape now. And after all is said j mid done, nothing will bring the coun try back to a sound basis as quickly as good crops." Mr. Thompson returned only last week from a trip In the East and Mid dle West on which he spent four weeks. He visited New York. Boston Chicago, St. Paul and Minneapolis. "Hankers at St. Paul told me that! the prospects for good crops in that part of the country are the best they i have had In years." he said. IP! IS Several suggestions i for Cabbage Hill ha by ihe East Oregonlan. One sugges tion made by a prominent business man is that whatever name be chosen that the' "Hill" be dropped and the word boulevard substituted. Mrs. Susan Darr of Adams writes Meeker suggesting the names ' Heights"; "Meeker View"; "Meeker Observatory"' or "Meeker Hill." Her des're is to honor the name of Ezra Meeker who aided in remarking the Old Oregon trail. C. P. Strain, now in California, writes that since the hill overlooks a mighty canpire that it have a name In keeping with the importance ' of the I view. He suggests "Empire, Crest," "Crest Lookout" "iSolden Empire i Crest". "Empire Gate" or "Threshold I of the Golden Empire."'. for harvest hands, the majority are traveling in covered wagons.
