COMMENCE WORK ON TRACK
Preparations Under Way for Annual
School Track Meet Here.

At a meeting of the Athena Com
meroial Association held last evening,
action was taken relative to prepara-
tions for the second annual track meet
and oratorical contest of the Umatilla
County Athletic and Ora,orioal Asso-
citation, which taxes place in this city
Saturday. April 80.
The track at the city park will be
put in condition at once. The oval
will not require much work to put in
good shape. and the straight away
course will be located on the edge of
the park, affording an excellent looa-
tion.
Athena High school athletes have
been doing the cross country stunt for
several weeks and as soon as the track
is in shape will begin regular training
there. Weston, Pendleton. Milton
and other schools of the county which
will be entered IN the meet are also
training hard.
Indications are that the meet this
year will be ON larger scale than
the first annual gathering of the asso-
citation, in this city last year.

WHEAT CLEANED UP
Recent Export Trade Has Diminished
the Visible Supply to An Enor-
nous Extent.

From the best figures available. il
can be- said that the farmers of the
Pacific Northwest are now holding not
to exceed 10 per cent of the crop. OF
between 100000 and 100000 bu-
shells of wheat. says the Portland Or
egonian.
In the past month, or since the
japanese demand for wheat first de-
veloped, there has been steady sell
ing movement. At no time has there
been any great activity, the lots
changing hands generally being small
in size. but the aggregate proves to
have been very substantial, and the
reserves have melted away in man.
ner that has surprised the grain trade,
now that the smallness of the availa-
BILE stocks is known.
Frorn15 to 30 per cent of the crop
remains in all hands--farmers. mill
ers and dealers-in the three states.
AS for the supply in dealers and
millers' hands it is probable it will
all 60 out in the way of -four or wheat
before the season ends. The exact
amount of wheat held at tidewater
points is not known, but it is not be-
lieved to be large. The Puget Sound
docks and warehouses are not holding
much and the supply held by Portland
dealers is rather small.
As the farmers are not holding over
100000 bushels at present. it can
be seen that the statistical position of
the northwestern market is strong
one. Not all the wheat that is left
will be marketed, no matter what the
prevailing prices may be. The north
western farmers, generally carry over
into every new crop from 5000, 900
to 10, ,000,0 900 bushels. Allowing that
they will take only half of their pres
ent holdings into the new season, it
will be seen that very small supuly
will be available for regular trades
requirements from now on.
California will no doubt be the
principal buyer during the remainder
of the season, and the orders flom
that state should make large hole in
the supply that is left over.
Some of the we'll posted dealers de
clare that the demand from Japan fol
wheat has been satisfied. 1t is said al
so that new orders are being places
for export flour. 1t is known, how
ever, that certain of the mills whicl
accepted flour orders sometime ago
are still sk!rmishing around the coun
try trying to buy the necessary wheat
! In view of the situation as disclosed
it certainly looks as ii the farmers
who are still holding their grain are
in the sa idle and can come near nam
ing what prices they please.

CANNOT CREATE ROAD DEBTS
Only School and Liqn0r Cases Ripe
for Special Elections.

AS intimated at the time by the
attorney general to the mem bers of the
executive committee of the state grange
who visited bim in his office recently.
Mr.. Crawford holds in a written op-
inion that the several counties have
no authority to cali special elections
for the purpose of creating debt for
the building of permanent roads. or
for any purpose excepting in certain
cases specifically provided for as for
the puSp pose of submitting the question
of the creation and maintenance of
county high schools or for prohibiting
the sale of liquor under the local op
tion law.
Consequently the grange will pro-
oeed to formulate legislation pertain
ing to good roads which they will
submit to the electors at the general
election in 1919. Just the nature Of
this legislation is not known at this
time principally for the reason that
it has not yet taken definite form hut
it will have for its object to authorize
the counties to call special elections
to issue bonds to create other indebt
edness for the purpose of building per-
| manent roads.
In his opinion the attorney general
finds as follows:
"The effect of this amendment. con
sidered in connection with the origina
| section is to remove the limitation OF
$4,000 on the authority of the counties
to incur indebtedness, for the purpos
of building permanent roads within
the county. but also place the limita
tion upon indebtedness incurred for
tLis purpose. that it shall be incurred
only On approval of majority OF
those voting on the question. The
question submitted is whether the
county can call special election to
submit this question of mourning such
additional Indebtedness.
81 find no provision whether in the
constitution or any of the statutes
authorizing a county to call special
election for this purpose or for any
purpose excepting in certain cases
specifically provided for. as for the
purpose of submitting the question of
the creation of and maintenance of
county high schools county high
school fund, etc. /"

PAYS A HEAVY BAGGAGE RATE
Californian Has to Dig up $7.75 Excess
Baggage on Oranges.

Few more highly indignant men
have been seen in Walla Walla than
an individual whose name could not
be learned who was compelled to pay
excess baggage charges to the amount
of $7.75. Sunday morning at the o.
W. R. & N. depot, on crate of or
anges which he could have purchased
in Walla Walla for $8.75. SAYS the
Bulletin.
The individual in question just ar
rived from Caliiorna and immediate
ly sought the baggage room with
checks for his trunk and oranges. On
being told there was charge for ex-
cess taggage. he expostulated with the
baggagemau. Finding that he was
making little headway. he magnani-
mously told .he railroad employees
that they could keep the oranges. an
offer which they declined. at the same
time informing him that his trunk
would be held until the charges Of
$7.75 we're paid on the oranges. This
made him furious, but finally he
| Gained down, pungled up the neoes-
sary amount and left, taking with him
his trunk and highprioed fruit.
