What the Liverpool price is
for Umatilla county wheat the
East Oregonian does not know
and has never attempted to
say. Nor does this paper ad-
wise farmers to sell wheat or
to hold it. We publish such
facts as are available and they
are given with accuracy. At
the time mentioned by Mr..
Oliver Spot No. l wheat was
quoted in Liverpool at IL shil-
lings, one half pence. Now an
English shilling is 2418 cents
in American money. A pence
is two cents. The Liverpool
quotation is for 100 pounds Of
wheat. Figure it out for your
self and you will find that the
Liverpool top price at that
time was slightly more than
S1.75 per bushel.
The East Oregonian does
not care if wheat brokers do
not like our reports on the
wheat market. This paper
tries to serve the producer,
not the buyer. The growers
are entitled to know the facts
about the foreign market and
the East Oregonian is giving
them the Liverpool prices in
terms they can understand.
Whether they sell their wheat
or hold it is their business, not
ours.
Meanwhile if the wheat
brokers of Portland and else
where will be as frank and as
truthful on this subject as the
East Oregonian endeavors to
be they will raise their stand
ard of veracity materially.

FROM THE PEOPLE
QUESTIONS WHEAT NEWS.

Pendleton, Ore, Sept. 22, 1915.
Editor East Oregonian:
have read with interest market
reports published in the East Ore
gonian and an editorial Of the 18TH
inst. in which, after making some de-
ductions his own, the writer claims
that there is a discrepancy Of 80 cents
per bushel between the price Of wheat
in Liverpool and Pendleton. The
price Of wheat In Liverpool was given
at $1.75 per bushel.
II Is strange that a paper so well
known as the East Oregonian should
publish an article Of this kind with
out first ascertaining the facts. The
article is no doubt intended to en-
courage the farmer TO hold, and so
far this season, advice Of this kind
has made a loss to the farmer. The
farmer is entitled to the correct ins
formation on the markets in order
that he may base his selling judg-
ment on facts and not on fiction.
To start with our wheat is not
worth $1.75 per bushel in Liverpool

the opposition to the admins
tration's water power bill gen.
orally known as the Ferris
bill. The Ferris bill provides
not only for the regulation of
rates charged by electric COM
panies, using government land,
but also for the regulation Of
their stocks and bond issues.
In other words the regulatory
power will have authority to
prevent over capitalization,
something the state commits
sions do not have at this time.
Under the Ferris bill if en-
acted into law it would be i'm
possible for an electric concern
to capitalize a five million dol
lar property at ten millions
and thus n axe double the prof
its it has a right to make. The
bill provides favorable terms
for those who would develop
power on a reasonable and
businesslike basis, but it does
away with freebooting of the
public domain.
No wonder the electric trust
boosters, lawyers, politicians
and newspapers denounce the
administrations measure. No
wonder they have gathered
from over the west and COM
fortably quartered in Port
lands finest hotel speak dole
fully of the Ferris bill and the
immense ruin it will bring
about.
Let the "water power con-
ference" continue its song of
denunciation. No finer COM
pliment could be paid to the
Ferris bill and to the merit of
the administrations views
with reference to power de-
velopment.

WHY THEY OPPOSE

I'm 1912 the Pacific Power
u & Light Co. which oper-
ates in Pendleton and
many other northwest cities,
had property the physical val
ue Of which at their own esti-
mate was $4,910,103. At that
time the corporation was capi-
talized at $9,500,000 and had
outstanding bonds to the ex-
tent of $5,295,000 with total
Of S30,000,0O0 in bonds au.
thorized.
In other words the company
at that time was capitalized
at approximately twice the
real value of its property, was
bonded for more than the ply
sical value Of the property and
had authorized bonds to the
extent of six times the value of
the company's holdings.

appreciation for September.

ACN ~
Their relative Indifference
seems like an unfair discrimi-
nation. 1t is difficult to COM
prehend, for September pos
.sesses a charm of its own that
is as distinctive and lovely as
the soft luster of the pearls in
contrast to the starry Hastings
and brilliance of the diamond.
September days are soft
and sweet; the temperature
strikes the golden mean be-
tween the fierce heats of July
and the cruel cold of January.
The sunbeams that were
swords in August have become
gently warm caresses in Sep
tember; the air has been wash
ed clean by the showers of
earliest autumn; the haze of
the distant heights shimmers
like a wavering veil of tender
est blue; the nights are crisp
and bracing; the ruddy trop-
hies of the orchards splash the
countryside with color; the
! glowing goldenrod heralds the
swift approach of autumn. Ma
ture, quietly and beautifully,
makes ready for the sleep of
winter"
If the publication of the
foregoing brings forth a dust
storm or an untimely rain the
East Oregonian desires that the
weather man remember this
idea Of fine September weather
originated in Spokane.

BEATING the Bakers.

"Oh, / am almost tired to DEATH"
said the woman who spends half her
time addressing club meetings. Our
political economy club has been in
session all day passing resolutions
and drawing up petitions demanding
a law regulating the price of bread.
Only think! Three dollars worth of
-four costs, when baked into bread,
$13. It's outrageous. Well soon all
be bankrupt. The bakers must be
made to feel the power of the law.

WHERE THE INCHES COUNTED
British Statesman's Remarkably Neat
Retort to Chairman's Shaft
OF "Wit."

Lloyd-George's wit on the platform
is well known, but here is one of the
neatest retorts he ever made.
He was addressing meeting in
South Wales, according to Pearson
Weekly, when the chairman. thinking
to be witty at the chancellor's expense,
remarked to the audience that he was
little disappointed in Lloyd-George' S
appearance.
Il had heard so much about Mr..
Lloyd-George," he said, that nat
urally expected to meet big man in
every sense; but, as you can see for
yourselves, he is very small in stat
ure."
Many an orator would have been
grievously upset by such an unfortu-
nate beginning to the proceedings, but
not SO Lloyd-George.
Il am grieved to find" he said, with
mock seriousness, that your chairman
is disappointed in my size, but this is
owing to the way you have here of
measuring man. In North Wales we
measure a man from his chin up, but
you evidently measure him from his
chin down."
After that the chairman made no
more personal remarks.

TEXT OF WILSON'S
NOTE TO GERMANY
United States to Uphold Rights
on Sea at Any Cost
REPLY Is STRONGEST YET
Kaiser Warned That New Submarine
Attack Will Be Regarded as de
IiberateIy nfriendiy"-Repara-
ton Again Demanded.

Washington, July 24.-The text OF
the reply of the United States to the
German note on the Lusitania and the
general subject Of Germany's subma-
rine warfare was made public at the
state department.
Soon after it was given out the
president went to Cornish for vaca-
ton and Secretary Lansing left town.
Secretaries Garrison and Daniels also
will be absent until about Tuesday.
Only One Threat.
The only suggestion of threat or
menace to the Germans in the note
is in the last paragraph, and it is be-
Heved changes were made in 1t just
before it was put on the cables. This
paragraph says:
Friendship itself prompts it to say
to the imperial government that repe-
tition by the commanders of German
naval vessels Of acts in contravention
of those rights must be regarded by
the government of the United States,
when they affect American citizens,
as deliberately unfriendly."
This phrasing, it is believed, was
adopted at the last conference be-
tween Secretary of State Lansing and
the president and at time when
there were several other phrases I'M
der discussion.
Not an UItimatum.
The general tone of the note does
not affect the German official mind
here adversely. In the opinion of
some German officials the note is least
of all an ultimatum, and suggests new
ways by which the diplomatic discus
sions can be continued Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador,
was at the state department and was
handed copy of the note. He would
not discuss it officially but he left the
distinct impression on friends with
whom he talked that the avenues by
which friendly adjustment can be Sc
cured have not been closed.
One of the salient suggestions of
the note is that it seems to refrain
from repeating the language of for
mer American notes, which have been
construed by diplomats here as mean
ing that Germany must stop her subma-
rine warfare. Not only is there an alb
sence of that character of language
but the concluding paragraph seems
only to ask that there be a restriction
on the conduct of the submarine war;
fare affecting ships carrying Ameri-
cans. In other words, there is no
apparent insistence or demand that
the United States supervise the whole
conduct of German military activities
to her war zone. The note in full fol

THE SECRETARY OF STATE TO
AMBASSADOR GERARD.

international News Service Correspondent.
Department of State, Washington,
July 24.-"You are instructed to de-
liver textually the following note to
the minister for foreign affairs:
THE note of the imperial German
government dated the 8th of July.
1915, has received the careful consid-
United States, and it regrets to be
obliged to say that it has found it very
unsatisfactory, because it fails to meet
the real differences between the two
governments and indicates no way in
which the accepted principles of law
and humanity may be applied in the
grave matter in controversy, but pro-
poses, on the contrary, arrangements
for a partial suspension of those prin-
ciples which virtually set them aside.
One Point Satisfactory.
THE government of the United
States notes with satisfaction that
the imperial German government
recognizes without reservation the
validity of the principles insisted on
In the several communications which
this government has addressed to the
imperial German government with re-
gard to its announcement of a war
zone and the use of submarines against
merchantmen on the high seas-the
principle that the high seas are free,
that the character and cargo of a mer-
chairman must first be ascertained be-
fore she can lawfully be seized or de-
stroyed, and that the lives of noncom-
batants may in no case be put in
jeopardy unless the vessel resists or
seeks to escape after being summoned
to submit to examination-for a bel
ligerent act of retaliation is per sc an
act beyond the law, and the defense of
an act as retaliatory : an admission
that it is illegal.
Cannot Discuss Great Britain.
1.-The government of the United
States is, however, keenly disappoint-
ed to find that the imperial German
government regards itself as in large
degree exempt from the obligation to
observe these principles, even where
neutral vessels are concerned, by what
it believes the policy and practice of
the government of Great Britain to
be in the present war with regard to
neutral commerce. The imperial Ger
man government will readily under
stand that the government of the
United States cannot discuss the
policy of the government of Great
Britain with regard to neutral trade
