STATES WATER RIGHTS
Better Surrender All to Pri-
vate Capital Than to Hold
tout From USE

"The possibilities of Greater Ore
gon are bright. Development means
prosperity. Our experience with land
grants in aid of development has taught
us to be cautious in dealing with pub
lie resources, yet we had petter sur
render to private capital than to GO
on indefinitely holding our immensely
valuable resources from use. We must
90 forward or backward. The issue is
squarely before the people and let not
the false cry of economy deter us from
doing our duty toward the development
of our latent water-power resources

speculative markets advanced today

oats enjoyed the best market of tho
day, tho volume of trade while only
fairly large being equal to that in wheat
and corn combined. At the opening profit
taking caused a dip In prices. but the
concession started buying by commission

prices advanced. Export houses we're ST.
lent about business, but report had II
that the seaboard and exporters were
picking up what they could. One of
the best known speculatorB in the market
also was reported on the buying side.
The local wheat market followed the
lead OF Minneapolis. After an opening
dip on scattered liquidation prices bulged
on the small stock at Minneapolis, the
demand from millers and reports that
threshing is being delayed by rains in
the northwest.
General rains over the corn belt de-
pressed the market for that cereal at
the opening but at the decline local deal

well below normal.

SIilsE f5-itecciUts we're sufficiently lib
eral this week to give the packers an
opportunity to make a considerable re-
duction I'm prices on fat sheep and lambs
As many as ill.OOO head were accounted
for, against $500 last week. $500 two
weeks ago and So 2Oo during the same
week a year ago. Other depressing fac
tors have been the large runs at Chicago,
the demoralized condition of the eastern
trade in dressed mutton and the fact that
the time OF the year is at hand when the
bulk OF the range sheep and lambs is
looked for, both sellers and the packers
expecting generous supplies next week.
Ecept for Wednesday and Friday, there
were sharp declines In lambs every day
now quotations are fully 10GSOc lower
than the close of last week. A sluggish
movement was an outstanding feature
almost all the week and, as a rule, the
clearances were late. The slump In aged
sheep was not as great, due to the COM
paratively moderate receipts, prices
showing a decline of SOC for the week.
Fat ewes have formed the bulk of the
killing sheep supply while yearlings and
wethers on the whole have been scarce.
The excessively large receipts this week
included good many feeder offerings,
especially lambs, aged offerings being In
light supply. and feeder buyers were able
to fill a large share of their orders at
prices generally steady with last week.
The best kinds of feeding lambs carrying
a little flesh are steady to strong with a
week ago. but there is an easier tendency
to the common grades. Feeding year
lings ewes and wethers are quotable
fully steady with a week ago, though
the supply Of them falls short OF the de-
mane. there being buyers here looking
for feeding wethers that had to go home
without them.

The commission appointed by the Brit

verted TO English ports, has taken a very
cargoes prizes-even cargoes which were
originally consigned TO Rotterdam No
idea prevailed that a cargo OF wheat con-
signed in a British bottom to neutral
port could be considered a prize. This
uncertainty is probably one OF the rea-
sons why cargo OF wheat has been
sold. within the last twenty-four hours
by a foreign buyer in neutral country to
an American exporter at a price a great
deal below the prevailing quotations.
Many OF the largest exporters consider
the situation so serious that they are re-
fusing to make offers under any condi-
tions. The result Is that the bulk OF the
business is being done by foreign houses
who have American branches.
