FINE HOUSE BUILT
ON ELLSWORTH STREET
C. W. Scars has just completed re
modelling or rather finishing hi?
bouse on Ellsworth street, opposite
the old Central School, which he
moved to that place from the cat
ern part of the city. The house was
built a few years ago. but was not
finished. Mr. Sears purchased it am
moved it to its present site and ha
made one of the most molern and
finest finished houses in the city.
The mill work throughout is a cred

Big Allied War Conference to
Be Held; America Must Rush
Ammunition to Italy
Washington, Sept. 3. Another al
lied was council will be held in Par-
s to consider the greatly altered mil
itary situation. Rome cables to the
Italian officials said. It is believed
that the Russian breakdown, need of
dded supplies, and desire that the
Italians continue the push against
ustria is back of the new confer
ence.
Under terrific fire the advancing;
Italians reached Mont and San Gab-
rielle, strongly fortified positions in
Brestovizza Valley which are being
isolated from the main Austrian po
sitions. Reinforcements are bcinc
constantly pushed forward at all
points. Rome cables added.
How long Cadoma's jrreat drive
will continue depends upon shipments
of munitions and supplies from th--
United States.
Austria lost 125,000 men and thir
ty-five hundred officers at the Carso
and Isonzo fronts. It is estimated
from Austrian figures. The interior
garrisons of A.rtria are being reduc
ed by two-thirds the usual comple
ment in rusnmg reintorcements to
the threatened front.
The allied warships have several
hundred thousand Austrian troops
1 ottled up in Trieste and the city de
fenses are constantly under fire.
The Albany Commercial Club this
fternoon received a telegram from
U. S. Senator Charles L. McNary,
tating that he had called npon Food
Administrator Hoover with regard to
be wheat price question, and sug
gested that a telegram be sent
Hoover from Albany. This was in.
n ediately takeu up, and a telegram
o-eparcd by President George Tay-
or, Senator E. D. Cusick and Dr. W.
L Davis of the Club was dispatched
o the food dictator.
The proposition of making Chica
go the wheat center and deducting a
hargc for freight from all other
oints is not to the liking of the
N'orthwcsterners, who believe that
Portland should be made a shipping
base, since it is one of the largest
wheat exporting ports in the United
States at all times.
With enough influence brought to
ear. it is hoped that the administrat
ion will take this action.
The telegram received from Sen
ator Mr Nary follows:
Washington, D. C. Sept. 3, 1917
Albany Commercial Club,
Albany. Oregon.
Called upon food administrator
Hoover Saturday and protestc!
egainst deduction from price paid Or
egon wheat farmers cost of freigh

dared primary market. Suggest sim
tar action by you in hope that results
may follow.
CHARLES L. McNARY
Following is the message sent Her-
rert Hoover:
Herbert C. Hoorer,
Washington, D. C, Justice to the
wheat growers of Northwest demands
that Portland be made a primary
market for wheat without deduc
tions of freight rates. Also ask tha
enly flour be shipped as mffl feed is
urgently needed to preserve the live
stock.
