Coos Bay City Makes Convinc-
ing Plea for 1917 Con-
vention.

PORTLAND Ore. Aug. s.
Marshfeld was chosen by the oregon
grand lodge, knights of Pythias, yes
terday afternoon, as the 1917 con-
Ntntion city The decision was by no
means unanimous. although most Of
the upstate knights favored the Coos
hay metropolis, Some from eastern
Oregon wanted the convention held
in Portland again as heretofore, but
Marshfield had come with such a con-
vincing plea, with such an air Of un-
selflshness, that the convention had
to yield to its Establishments,
The Marshfield delegates presented
these advantages to the convention

b1 II MAN ~ COHEN.
PORTLAND, ore, Aug. Month,
ago the forecast was made in these
columns that there would not likely
be any low prices for wheat at worlds
ccnters this season
Such a statement has been more
than fulfilled By recent events in the
worlds trade, There never was the
slightest occasion for even talk about
lew wheat prices in the Pacific north
west for the 1916 crop.
With all the world showing a very
serious decrease in the crop as com
pared with the normal-not the record
Of last season there is no doubt that
even with the reported liberal surplus
held at American points that it viii
be nip and tuck to fiji worlds require
ments during the present crop year.
Even European interest which are
always inclined to put out reports of
big surpluses and huge crop pros
pects-because they are heavy import
ers every season-are now willing to
admit that requirements will be hea-
vier than had been anticipated and
that the crop prospects are much be-
low normal.
Buyers Agree on Short Crop.
When buyers agree that crops are
short and that prices are likely to
rule high in consequence, II Is time
for growers to realize il even more
fully, The huge surplus Of wheat that
Europe is said to have held--and this
was never admitted in these columns
lis now absolutely out Of the run
ming. There is no surplus whatever
TO speak OF in Europe today and this
means that quick buying and despatch
will be necessary to fill early require
ments.
The condition Of the coarse grain
trade is equally as good as that Of
wheat There viii be liberal de-
mand from abroad for both oats and
barley This is now a forcgone con-
clusion.
All over the world wheat prices
made sensational advances during the
week. In fact the advances abroad
were as great, If not greater, than in
the United States.
The advances made in the price of
flour at Pacific Northwest points dur.
ing the week reflect the fact that mill
ers here are no longer willing to be-
Eeve that they are going to get their
wheat FOR nothing The demand for
Pacific northwest flour Is coming from
all parts Of the country and there are
prospects that before long Europe will
be compelled TO take hold Of the
ground produce.

Millstuffs-S Selling price, Bran
S25.5O; shorts, $3.50 per ton.
This week has shown a further adj
vance in the price Of hogs at North
Portland although weakness and de-
pressed prices have been forced in
practically all the eastern and middle
west markets.
Top hogs are quoted here ~ $3.50,
which means that the local market is
within a mere fraction of the highest
yards in the country. Quality Of Of
ferings considered it 10 quite likely
that values here compared very favor
ably with any In the country
One thing about North Portland hog
prices is that the quotations printed
are those actually available here, and
not what the trade would call boom
values, such as are quoted in some
markets
General hog market range:
Choice light weights ,.. S9.25@9,30
Good light weights ...,.. 9.0O@9.15|
Medium weights ......... S.50@8.75.
Rough heavy .,.......-... S.O0@8.25.
Cattle Depression Severe.
Depression in the cattle market was
severe all through the week at North
Portland. This was not due 10 heavy
receipts, for they were rather light.
The demand for meats is so small
that killers are operating only about
quarter of their capacity.
Most of the cattle that have como
forward of late have been of inferior
quality and this has been factor
against the price.

MARY E. HART
 WILL RETURN
 TO TIE NORTH

Mrs. Mary E Hart well known in 1 Alaska. writing from Gallup, N. Mo says she will visit the North again this year. calling at Southeastern Alaska points, thence going to the Copper River country, and, perhaps ! into the Interior. She says she is homesiclk for the North and will never be satisfied Outside"
 Prior to last sumner for several years Mrs. Hart was connected with the tourist work of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, and was a lec- turer during the excursion seasons on the Spokane. Last year she had charge of the Pacific Coast exhibit at the San Francisco exposition.
 Looks For Good Times
 Mrs. Hart says she looks for un- usual good times In Alaska in the near future. She gives her reasons for the expectations in the following interview, printed in the Kansas City Star of April 4th:
 q look for the old days back again in Alaska" said Mrs. Mary E. Hart. Alaskan writer and lecturer, now re- visiting her old home in Missouri.
 "The placer miner will find his way to the unexplored interior as soon as the new railroad is finished from Seward to Fairbanks. You can see fortunes made in a day up there. just as they were fifteen or twenty years ago Alaska has just been scratched. Nobody has got beyond the seaboards or waterways. But they will after this new road is fin ished. It is a transcontinental road five hundred miles long. and 1t will make 1t possible for individual min CTS to reach points from which it will be easy to pack supplies for prospecting.
 Gold Rush to Como Again
 "The prospector always has to lead the way in a mining country He goes where there are easy picldngs, takes everything within reach and mushes on. Following him come the men with big money. big machin. cry. big profits You will see a new Klondike rush when Alaska's first railroad opens"
 Mrs. Hart has lived sixteen years in Alaska. She has many business interests up there.
 There are SO many ways to make fortune in Alaska Any woman who is industrious and capable can go there and find a better field than here"
 Mrs. Hart says 1t is not so cold in winter in the coast towns Of AL aska as 1t is in Missouri She ack- nowledges the lack of good roads.
