What will Oregon mills do for wheat
with over ten million bushels of wheat
already sold to Eastern firms? Now
they are buying more. On this coast at
the present time are T. W. Swift,
buyer for McLean, Swift & Co.,
of Battle Creek; J. J. Keller,
buyer for the American Cereal Com­
pany, Chicago; R. M. Adams, for the
East St. Louis Elevator Company;
H. A. Wernli for Van Dusen, Harring­
ton & Co. of Minneapolis. H. Higg­
ins for the Armour Grain Company of
Chicago; W. S. Rosenbaum, of Chicago,
and H. W. Goodnow, of St. Louis.
With ten millions of bushels already
sold and the prospect thatjthese buyers
will get another ten million bushels,
Oregon millers will have to pay more
for wheat and the consumer may look
for a sharp advance in flours in the
near future.

The whole political situation has
now, since Parker’s letter of acceptance
has appeared, resolved itself into the
question which a voter wishes—a party
of progression and statesmanship head­
ed by an energetic, fearless beleiver in
the rights of the people, or a party
whose policy is to let opportunities
pass because its leaders fail to clearly
discern the future effect of present
events and policies. The result is not
