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.

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

miles, 700 contacts, 60 days' yrief and
time consumed in clearing allowing
a few seconds for each contact,
amounting to one man working al
