PORTLAND LEADS AS
A SHIPPING CENTER

Every day adds to Portland's glory
as the premier wheat shipping and re-
ceiving port OF the country. says the
oregon Daily Journal. Today Port
land received 223 cars of wheat and
not only broke all former records for
this port, but broke the records of
all other wheat receiving ports at the
same time.
The enormous arrivals of wheat
! at Portland during the past two
weeks have been the wonder of the
wheat trade of the world and the at
tention of the entire worlds trade is
upon this market. With few excep-
tions every one believed that last
weeks big arrivals were merely a
spurt which would soon give out. but
as the days pass the wheat shipments
increased The heaviest shipments
heretofore received here totaled 213
cars In one day and this was but a
few days ago.
Under normal conditions 40 cars
of wheat would be considered quite
liberal receipts even i'm such big
worlds market as Chicago, and ii is
seldom that arrivals there run over
100 cars within the space of "a hours.
Receipts at Duluth and Minneapolis,
cities that are always considered the
greatest primary markets in the
country range close to the Chicago
figures Not a single place in the
country-and this means the world
when it comes to wheat-even gets
within sight of Portland's enormous
arrivals.
The cause of such extra shipments
here is the extra fine quality of the
Pacific northwest whea this season.
Europe is determined to buy even
heavier supplies than during the
bumper yield year ago and pur-
chases to date have broken all rec
ords. More ships are being charter
ed at Portland for early loading than
ever before because of the seeming
ly unlimited demand Europe is maxi
ing on this port for Oregon wheat.
The present season has developed
one Of the fiercest fights in the wheat
buying trade ever seen in this or any
other Pacific coast market Europe
has had a taste of bluestem wheat
and so pleased are the buyers on the
other side of the Atlantic that they
are ou.bidding each other on every
side for this hard variety.
According to foreign buyers the
bluestem wheat grown in the Pacific
northwest is far superior to that
grown i'm Australia and New Zealand.
whence the grade was imported to
this country. 1t has only been a few
years ago that the first bluestem
wheat was brought into this country
by a Walla Walla milling firm. but
since that time the grade has taken
complete control of the market.
While heretofore buyers have been
willing to pay premium OF but two
cents a bushel for the club variety,
they are now bidding a premium OF
from to cents a bushel and still
the market is going higher. Some of
the buyers themselves are now pre-
dieting that bluestem wheat will go
to 81 a bushel or better before the
present season comes to an end.

SCIENCE AND FAIRY TALES.

Science has camped many times
close on the trail of the fairy tale,
SAYS an eastern writer. Frequently
it has seemed to take the lead from
wonder stories purely imaginary.
There was an instance the other day
when Prof. Francis Darwin told the
British association of his conviction
that plants have memory and habits
and at least a suggestion of con-
sciousness. Prof. Harold W. T. Wa
ger continues on this striking line of
new thought in natural history He
displays lenses taken from leaves in
support of claim that plants have
to some degree the sense of sight. At
least they can see where to turn for
the light most favorable to life and
growth.
The practical trend of these dis
coveries is not apparent. Just now
the new ideas of plant consciousness
may impress most laymen as being
especially pretty conceits, having their
charm heightened by the possibility
of a shade of truth.
But the two professors who have
spoken already have not swept the
whole range of hypothesis. Shall not
we hear from a third man, subtly
wise. who shall tell us that the grow
irg things can also talk among them
selves? That when we speak of
whispering trees" and of grain that
sings in the breeze we are dealing
with more of fact than we realize?
We ought to desire something of
this sort in positive revelation. The
manifestation of actual voices of the
woods pleading and raging against
the forest killers of our times is a
miracle to be prayed for.

Mayor Murphy is right in asking
the council to pass an anti-liquor
selling ordinance. Prohibition is now
the law of the land in this county and
the ordinance proposed last night is
entitled "An ordinance to assist in en-
forcing the will of the people" As
far as Pendleton is concerned the
will Of the people" can be most eff
fectively enforced by the police de-
partment But If the police do the
work the city should receive the
money from fines

WOMAN IN BUSINESS.

In the world of affairs as in the
world of home and society. there Is
no success worthy the name for the
woman who is not a lady, and there
ia no more excuse for her not being
a lady in any contact with the world
of affairs than there is for her failing
to be one in social life.
In fact. the refinement, the cour-
tesy, the good breeding. the sweetness
of spirit that make a woman esteem
ed socially are Indispensable to her
success and to her winning and hold
ing the esteem of her associates, or of
those with whom she may come in
contact in the activities of life. The
truth is, indeed, that any woman in
industrial. in business, or in profess
sional life. any woman in touch with
affairs and activities. needs Of all
others to be a lady in the highest and
sweetest sense that the world implies.

Why didn't the council include an
anti-sren provision in its automobile
ordinance? The use of a screech-owl
hair raising alarm on an auto is not
necessary, but on the contrary is a
nuisance. In many cities sirens are
barred and they certainly should be
ir a country city like Pendleton.
Umatilla county horses are not stran-
gers to automobiles, but it is going
too far to ask them to get used to a
noise that has terror for mankind.
