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

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.

POWER SYSTEM
Approval by President Roosevelt
of an eight hundred thousand dol
lar WPA project to clear the right-
of-way for the Bonneville super
power transmission system in Ore
gon was received by Administrator
J. 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.
