MUST IMPORT WHEAT.
Supply Of American Miilcrs is
Now Very Low.

The + lowing rem 4rkable statement
regarding the available supply OF mill
ing wheat in the United States is from
the New York Herald:
Probably the most important ,,or,
milling Establishment ia the United
States. lie Pillsbury-Washburp com'
pany, of Minneapolis, has practica ly
announced its intention to the grain and
-four trade of the world that it will this
year be forced to import wheat for flour
milling purposes. One of it's most i'm
portant mills is to be placed under the
supervision of a governm NJ customs
officer and it is tie ntsntiou Of the
company to "bond" dis plant and big
elevator.
The significance Of this step is grasp
ed only vile it is considered tina. this
large -four milling establishment prac-
'ically admits that the United States, so
long regarded an the dread ba,ket OF
The world" cannot this wear furnish i's
own millers with supplies of hard
wheat for h>uring purposes.
This fact has gradually become
known in the almost complete cessa-
tion of exports of wheat and flour, as
shown by the weekly statistics of the
leading export points. In Wa street
observers have continually pointed out
the diminishing volume Of exports of
wheat and flour during the last few
years. This year, when the spring
wheat crop was suffering from excess
s;ye moisture, and finally when smut
and rust developed, playing havoc with
The crop. it WAS predicted that the coun
try would be unable to export any
quantity OF wheat and flour. The
wheat markets in New York and
Chicago reflected the scarcity of grade
wheat, and prices continued to advance
to a point where the wheat markets of
the United States became the dearest
in the world.

Hotel Rooms $40 A Day.

The hotel prices in Washington fol
the inauguration went soaring. One
hotel demanded $40 a day for an or.
binary room and bath and forced the
applicant to take it for seven days and
pat up a certified check for the full
amount. All the hotels, with one ex'
ceptlon. made applicants take rooms for
a full we at enormous prices. Car.
rage rates for the nj sht of the inaugural
bali were $35 for the evening. For .
horse for four hours to ride in the :.
augural parade, from S-5 to $50 was de-
matded. The price of groceries went
up % 10 50 per cent. About the only

LOOKS VERY DARK.
Congressman Williamson Talks
on Irrigation.

Representative Williamson, of Prime
Vile, reached Portland Thursday morn
ing and is at the Imperial for a shor
visit in the city, says the Oregonian
Mr.. Williamson arrived at The Dallet
on Tuesday night having come drec
from Washington at the conclusion O.
the last term of Congress.
Yesterday afternoon the Congress
man followed out The same policy which
has characterized him in the past in re.
lation to the land fraud indictments,
and refused to say anything one way o,
the other in regard to his case. He
does not consider discussion of the
question to be material at this time or
of any good and desires to await the
time when his case shall come befo, e
the court before be makes anv state,
ment or enters into any discussion Of
the merits of the case.
"Remem ber," he said, at the close of
the interview, "of the land frauds l
have said nothing. 1t may be that in
the future will be willing to say some
thing but now | have no wish to dit
cuss the question"
On other subjects Mr.. Williamson
talked most entertainingly. He ranged
from the different irrigation projects and
OF the chances of each for consumma-
ton, TO the river and harbor improve
ments, to the Burton theory of state ap-
propriatiohs for shth a8rk, theh ta-nea
aside to talk OF the Cello Canal And
last touched on the bil introduced for
the creation of an Eastern Federal Dis-
trict, which bill was defeated in the
Senate.
Now" said Mr.. Williamson, as be
settled back in his chair and looked at
a bundle Of papers as though he would
rather read than talk. NOW then, what !
Is it that can tell you this time ?"
Then, without waiting for an answer,
he began anew. II do not want to cay
ANYTHING about the land fraud cases. l
haye not done 80 up to this time. and
do not want to say anything until my
case is before the court.
"This is a new role for me-" con
tinued MIR. Williamson, and l think
the most becoming thing to do is to say
nothing"
When asked OF the things done for
Oregon during the last session Of Con-
gress, Mr.. Williamson smiled little.
81 think nearly everything has been
said that can be-" he said. "However,
will say that .he irrigation question,
in the main lookskpretty dark for Ore
gon just at this time, although the
reclamation service: is doing all in it's
power to give the state favorable con-
sideration. The service realizes that |
Oregon has put up more money for irri-
CATION than any other state; that the
people wish to have the help OF the
Government, and that the ssstance
would be deserved, but there are many
obstacles which are being encountered
that promise to hold the work back.
'The Klamath project" continued
Mr.. Williamson, ''is not in as bad
condition as it might be. Congress has
authorized the reclamation service to
proceed as it may see best in that dis
trict. and | am reasonably sure that the
controversy between the private irriga-
tion companies and the adherents to
Government irrigation will be able TO
be adjusted. Congress has authorized
the engineers to lower the waters of the

Give Him a Chance.

Why are the witless born to wealth,
While true worth in povertys gown,
Vainly striving to win success
Meets only the cold world s frownY
The man of knowledge, you pass him by
You care not whittier he goes, :,
While the witless fool Is met with smile
Just for the cut Of his clothes.
IT'S so hard for the rich to stoop from
their throne
To acknowledge poor mans worth,
But II he had a million or two
He'd be the salt Of the earth
The polished rogue In Pullman train
May sit by the rich mans side,
While honesty, consulting his pocketbook
Second class is doomed to ride.
The best men our land has given to us,
Whose names we are proud to own,
Having gained the hiltops of success,
BY their knowledge are truly known.
Poor boys at the start, they have strug-
gled on,
Bound to win or die in the fight;
These are the men we honor to-day,
Who have given our country light.
Light and knowledge and noble deeds,
Written down on historys page;
Their names recalled with honest pride,
Though many have passed from life's
stage.
So give a poor lad a chance I'm the strife,
Just help him to win in the race;
When YOU see him striving so Yaliantly,
Chances are he'll come out hrst place.

HOW TO LIVE LONG.
Some Simple Rules Laid Down by
New York physician.

A famous New York physician, now
hale and handsome at rs, sums up his
half a century of medical practice and
observation in these simple rules Of
health Be temperate in all things,
in matters of amusement or study as
well as in regard to foods and drinks.
To be temperate in all things how
ever, does not imply that one must be
a prohibitionist about anything. Don't
be afraid to go to sleep, for sleep is
the best restorer of wasted energies,
sleep certain number Of hours every
night and then remember that short
nap during the day is a safe rejuve-
nator than cocktail Don't worry
either about the past or the future.
To waste a single hour in the regret
full past Is as senseless as to send
good money after that which is ir.
revocably lost. -Pittsburg Dispatch,
