RUSH TO STORE GRAIN All the available FUatge rpat for grain is being ykitd up in the ter minal cities of Portland, Astoria, Locgvk-w, Tacoma and Seattie, says the state market ajrent. In Portland. the Pacific Coast Elevator dock is in receipt of 7 COO ton of wheat the first storage cf its kind in several years. During this week the Oceanic Terminal took ia about 0 carloads and on Monday this week the ware house of the old Peninsula Lumber Mill begin rtoritg about MOO tons. This is the first time that wheat hai ever been stored at either of these two places. In Tacoma, warehouse, for years vacant, are filling up with wheat. All this grain is stored for the account of the Farmers National Grain Corporation or the Stabilitatioa Board. The date for the further move ment of this old crop of grain is un certain but it is relief for the ware housemen in the interior of the itate for in approximately three months storage room must be provided for the new crop. An average of about 50 car of grain arrived in Portland daily last week. o With the going of "Tige" Reynolds, the natioii loses one of its greatest cartoonists and the Morning Oregon ian a loyal and brilliant member of its staJ. No more will the kiddies look for the smiles and winks of the little tiger cub that peered always from the drawings of Edward Samuel Reynolds. No longer will elders look on the front page to find what Reyn olds "has to say of it" in crayon and ink. The sympathic, humorous, virile caricaturist hss passed on. O " Facing a roost critical situation in the dairy industry from the flooding of markets by substitutes for butter fanners organizations are protesting gainst the proponed referendum on the recent law taxing oloo 10 cents a pound. While statewide action has cot yet been taken by these group various unit of the Grange have car ried on successful campaigns result ing in the banishment of oleo from the stores of various towns. Here is something to think about, says an exchange: Tax money does not grow oa trees. It comes out cf check. The bank remitted it to ite correspondent at Spokane, Spokane remitted it to Portland, Portland to Valley City, and Valley City to Twin Rivers, Twin Rivers passed it to the bookkeeper, who found the account insufficient. Buck's boarding house was called, bet be was out, might be in before closing time, called again, still out The check was taken off the sheets and charged back to Valley City. Vtlky City credits Twin Rivers and charges Portland, Portland credits Valley City and charges Spokane, Spokane credits Portland and charges Moscow, Moscow credits Spokane and the teller consults the bookkeepers as ia who Kirk Buck is. The teller thought he knew Ms man when be csshed the check but since forgotten. The item on this first little round has made &6 separate individual con tacts. Kirk's address is finally located but he is out on a picnic. By mistake the check gets into the remittances . and makes the rounds in 10 days and is back in the cath items with 65 ad- j ditional contacts. So the check is started out again, but Arnold Buck has moved to a new camp and the item comes limping back the third time. Kirk is still out in the sticks. There is nothicg to do but hold the check in the cash items until his return. The check has cow been handled j separately above 300 tiroes also ban- j died in bulk by train men, post office j employees, mail clerks, earners, and draymen about 50 times for each trip This with the correspondence and con versation directly pertaining to it brings the number of contacts to its discredit near TOO and it is still in the "cash." August first, young man rings the bell at the teller's home. He explains he just got in, is going out before! banking hours in the morning, here is the money for the "insufficient check. The teller thanks him, smiles and swears at the same rime. After-1 wards in bed he remembers leaving ; the money lying on the table. He stumbles down puts it into his coat pocket. Next morning he changes to a lighter suit. Bringing out his daily cath, the Buck checks bobs up, he grabs the phone and asks his wife to send one of the children down with the money. And so the "Arnold Buck $5 In sufficient is rounded up after 400 miles, 700 contacts, 60 days' yrief and time consumed in clearing allowing a few seconds for each contact, amounting to one man working al most a fuH day." tion to all who have used it It is a !
