THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22. 19S< THE HERMISTONHERALD, HERMISTON, OREGON. PAGE r e i SURVEY SHOWS HAY MARKET LOW A survey of the hay market throughout the northwest indicates bearish prices, at least, for fall and early winter. Portland and Seattle buyers are paying from $14 to *15 for No. 1 quality alfalfa delivered in Portland. Subtracting cost of baling, trucking and freight, and dealers’ commissions, the present price for No. 1 alfalfa is between *6 and *7 for the producers. is light and this shortage is being supplied by hay from Malheur coun ty at around *8. Yakima valley and Klamath county report large crops, and this is being taken by buyers In the Sound country and Willamette valley buyers, but the movement is light. Farmers refuse to accept the current prices except in cases where the hay must be sold. W. W. Felthouse, local buyer, has made a canvas of the hay district and prospective markets. He found that California was not using the Klamath hay this year, as that state had a good crop. Klamath must find Hay is being sold for *5 and *6 a market west of the Cascades. Pre in the stack in Wallowa and Baker viously he had bought a quantity of counties. In southern Idaho the crop hay at Enterprise for *6, but will •♦»♦OOOCCCCCCCCCCC O CCCCCCCCCCCeCCCC»- • • • • - - » W O e e v e e W « serve m eals a t ALL HOURS! not pay that price for any more un der the present outlook. F. B. Swayae has Just returned from the Willamette valley and says that there is a normal crop of hay there, mainly oats and vetch, but that owing to a hot dry sum mer the pastures dried up, making early feeding necessary. He reports conditions are favorable for a win ter alfalfa hay market in the valley. The alfalfa crop is slightly heav ier than last year in Umatilla and Morrow counties, but owing to a late spring season, the crop is larg ely mixed with cheat. Another bearish condition on the price of hay is the present low on grains. With barley at *15 a ton many sheep men will feed grain during the winter more heavily than usual. Dairy herds will be the largest consumers since the present sheep market price will cause sheep men to feed conservatively. The price of hay and grain may Induce more feeding, and a hard winter may take up the slack, but the foregoing facts represent the present outlook for hay prices. IRRIGON By MRS. W. C.

D. Ross. Disclosure of the major Oregon grant came in the form of a telegram from Senator A. E. Reames and a communication from E. J. Griffith, state WPA Administrator. Funds will be used to clear the route of the high tension transmis sion lines that will bring Bonneville power to Eastern Oregon, Portland and the Willamette Valley. More than a million man-hours of un skilled labor will be devoted to the construction work in Multnomah Clackamas, Washington, Marion, Linn, Lane, Hood River, and Wasco counties. Administrator Ross said that the project will be under the complete direction of the WPA, and all of the men will be employed through that agency. In addition to a large amount of heavy clearing, the project will in clude the construction of necessary roads and bridges for patrolling and maintaining the lines. Bids already have been asked for transmission cable and insulators for the 110,- 000-volt circuits which will be built along the routes to Eastern Oregon and down through the Wil lamette Valley. Administrator Ross pointed out that the *699,916 allotment from the WPA will not only speed deli very of power to Oregon communi ties, but will allow the construction of additional transmission and sub station facilities from non-WPA funds allocated to the Bonneville Project. Xtra Special MACARONI New Line Planned. The principal line to be cleared is a 110,000-volt circuit from Van couver down the Willamette Valley past Oregon City, Salem, Albany and Eugene. Another clearing project will run eastward from the dam through Hood River to The Dalles. The third job will be to prepare the way for a future high-tension line that will run directly from Oregon City to the Bonneville power plant, through Clackamas and Multnomah counties, being entirely in the State of Oregon. An allotment of *699,916 from the Works Progress Administration will be supplemented by a fund of *103,044 furnished by the Bonne ville Project. The latter sum will be used to provide necessary mater ial, equipment and superintendence. Practically all of the WPA allot ment will be used directly to pay skilled and unskilled workmen who will clear the routes for the power lines. Many Jobs Provided. The project, developed with the assistance of E. J. Griffith, Oregon WPA administrator, will furnish 1,246,068 man-hours of employment to a wide variety of mechanics and laborers, including truck drivers, handymen, rodmen, chairmen, fall- ers, buckers, powdermen, carpenters, blacksmiths, instrument men, jack hammer and compressor operators, as well as unskilled workmen who will do the bulk of the work. There are 1,022,120 man-hours of employ ment in the unskilled classification. BEANS FLOUR FLOUR Hardwheat 4 ^ s.
