Oregon Solons After Legge To Give Coast Some Wheat Benefits A Washington dispatch says that Senators McNary and Steiwer Satur day consulted Chairman Legge and Commissioner McKelvie of the feder al farm board to urge more active participation in the wheat situation in the Pacific Northwest, with a view to stabilization of the Portland market in line with Chicago. Especially they pointed out that most of the grain in the Portland market moves in the ex port trade and that spot buying and movement would be a welcome stimu lus. ; v ; Legge, who is leaving for Chicago, said he would discuss the situation with George S. Milnor of the national grain corporation with a view to giving proper reflection of the Chicago price in the Pacific coast markets. Legge explained the board seeks to direct movement of Northwest wheat to the California market and under stands that this section of the country has a distinct problem, unlike that of the rest of the country. Senator Steiwer said he believed Northwest conditions were appreci ated by McKelvie and by Legge and that they would act to give propor tional effect to stabilization opera tions in the Portland area. He sug gested that money be advanced to the national grain corporation to aid in! acquiring "flat" warehouses and fori the improvement of terminal facili ties. High School Notes Columbia Basin Wheat Growers To Attend Meet Oregon State College. Growers of more than 5,000,000 bushels of wheat from all parts of the Columbia basin are planning to attend the annual meeting of the Eastern Oregon Wheat league at Heppner, December 11, 12 and 13, according to John Withycombe of Arlington, president of the league and a recent college visitor. Among the highlights on the three- day program are talks by George S. Milnor, manager of the Farmers Na tional Grain corporation of Chicago, the largest wheat selling concern in the world, and Dr. M. L. Wilson, head of the department of economics at Montana State college. Dr. Wilson who recently spent a year in Russia, will give an illustrated lecture on life in that country with emphasis on the possibilities of it again becoming a large wheat exporting nation. L. M. Jeffers of the United btates department of agriculture station at Sacramento, Cal., also is scheduled to explain advantages of the use of futures grain markets to farmers. Those attending the meeting will be divided into five groups and their chairman are: Legislation, Charles Harth, The Dalles; wheat handling, Sam Thompson, Pendleton;' produc tion, Frank Emerson, The - Dalles; transportation, Roy Ritner, Pendle ton; co-operative marketing, A. R. Schumway, Milton. "The transportation committee no doubt will have the biggest job at the meeting," Withycombe said, "be cause the low price of wheat is locus ing attention on cheaper hauls to market. This group will discuss in detail ways to use the Columbia river for water transportation." Your Automobile Will Need Winter Servicing Better automobile performance will be enjoyed if a number of seasonal instments anH servicine items are attended to, reminds R. K. Lunde, agricultural engineer at Oregon State college. The old bus that rambled oinnir wTl in Rummer mav coueh and sputter when the frost strikes it, he says, and even the best oi cars neeo some preparation, for cold weather. First Mr. Lunde advises a complete flushing and checking of the cooling system to stop leaks that are much ihov to occur with an anti-freeze mixture. As to these mixtures, he says the alcohol is the cheapest Dut hnila a-aiav rnniHlv and Will SDOil the finish of the car if it gets on It Glycerine or some of the trace mix tiirea will last lonsrer. Use of kero sene is unsatisfactory and dangerous. The engine will neea its ignition checked, spark plugs adjusted or re placed, the carburetor set a bit rich er to make less choking necessary, and if the manifold has a heat ad justment it needs setting to the win ter position. The charging rate will stana sewing a little stronger and it is best to start in the winter with a well charg ed battery. Brakes -set evenly may air sit A a uA ki(Minp accident.

Boys' Athletics A successful basketball season? This question is being asked by the backers of our team. With all the last year players back except Myrick. who now attends Whitman, we should have the best team in years. There is real competition for all places as some of the players, considered scrubs, are making it hot for the last year fellows. By Christmas we should have the first and second team practically even. Coach Miller is try ing hard to get the boys in condition for the first scheduled game with Pendleton, December 6. Fred Mc Kinley, a player from Granger, Washington, is showing up about even with the rest of the fellows. With this bunch of boys there should be no occasion for a "one man team." The probable positions are as follows: centers, Wilson, Huffman, Hansel, Moore, Rogers, 1 Shigley; guards, Crowley, Jenkins, L. Jenkins, Singer, Banister, Campbell, R. Wilson;' for wards, Weber, Geissel, McKinnley, Pickett, Pittman, Rogers, Pmkerton. Alumni Marjorie Wilson was in Pendleton yesterday. Helen Foster and Alberta Charlton were in Pendleton Saturday.
