HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, SEPT. 20, 1928. PAGE THREE , 'THERE Hal Hoss Will Receive Secretary of State Job Hal E. Hosa of Oregon City will be appointed by Governor I. L. Pat terson shortly to serve as secretary of state, filling the unexpired term of Sam A. Kozer, who is resigning to take over new duties as director of the state budget The change in state officials is set for Monday, September 24th and Mr. Hoss will serve by appointment of the Gov ernor until January 7, 1929, the end of the term for which Mr. Kozer had been elected. Mr. Hoss is the republican nomi- wheat prices in general Inclined to go lower last week in the United States and abroad, soft wheats held steady. Quotations on No. 2 soft red winter at Cincinnatti were about $1.5041.51 a bushel. At St Louis $1.4141.45 was paid for No. 2 soft red winter and about the same for No. 2 white varieties of which some Federation, Baart and Fortyfold ar rived. Another premium class of wheat that is bringing substantial premiums and for which there may be a better demand later In the sea son is high protein types of hard wheat The present differential in favor of protein is running 5c-10c for each additional one per cent over the base percentage. Further strength will doubtless be given to the too-bearish wheat market situa tion by the new estimate of the Rus- ian rye crop which Is figured at 783,420,000 bushels or about 184,000, 000 bushels less than last year. There is nothing authentic to indi cate that the world supply of all bread grain is likely to be much larger if any than last year, but more of it is located in exporting countries. Feed grain. Prospects for the HAL E. HOSS nee for the office of secretary of state, winning in the primaries by a wide margin over H. H. Corey and Tom B. Handley. Prior to entering the race for election as secretary of state, Mr. Hoss served as private secretary to Governor Patterson and before that was manager of the Morning Enterprise, published at Oregon City. He has been active in newspaper organization work, and has held a number of offices In pub lishers' associations. . Mr. Kozer, who Is nearing the end of his second term as secretary of state, was selected by Governor Pat .terson to direct the state budget because of his many marked quali fications. There is perhaps no one In the state more familiar with the operative and fiscal affairs of the commonwealth than Mr. Kozer, due to his long contact with all Its va rious departments. As director of the budget working directly under the governor whom the 1927 legis lature delgnated as state budget of ficer, Mr. Kozer will give Oregon taxpayers the advantage of his vast fund of knowledge about public bus iness, and will fill an Important place In the administration's official family. There will be no drastic changes In the personnel of the office of sec retary of state, according to Mr. Hoss, who has let It be known that he Intends to conduct affairs as ef ficiently as possible, without regard to professional Job-hunters and po litical hangers-on.' The Hoss fam ily has moved to Salem and taken up residence In the Fairmont hill district. (O. 3. A. C. 'Extension Service) Corvallls, Oregon, September 17. Bread grain. The trend of the wheat markets is In line with suggestions of the wheat growers economic con ference held at Moro In February, 1926, which said, "there Is a special demand for good quality wheat- examples of which are the Soft Red Winter of the Eastern States and certain varieties of Soft White wheat of the Pacific Coast Competition Is especially keen In the production of hard wheat both In the Eastern United States and In Canada, and may be expected to continue so. On the other hand, the production of soft wheats Is not expanding so rapidly " Although new corn, crop both In the United States and in Europe are somewhat less favorable. Feed grain markets have tended to hold steady to firm recently, although barley prices in the eastern states and abroad have not been very firm owing tp the large production of this grain. Feed grains in western states are fairly firm. Potatoes.
