Congress Breaks Expense Record

Special appropriations include $780,
000, 900 for government nitrate
plant; $4,000, 900 for good roasd;
SIS, 900, 900 for rural credits, and $780,
100000 for the government shipping
project.
With President Wilson and major
ity of the party leaders urgently sup
porting the naval building and person
mel increases, it is believed the house
will agree to them after advocates Of
small navy have made their last
fight. In anticipation Of close vote,
every absent representative was noti-
fed more than week ago of the ap-
preaching contest, which will mark
the climax of the national defense
campaign this week.
Appropriations for preparedness
alone will aggregate approximately
$64O, 900, 900 unless unforeseen develop
ments should force a curtailment.
While the house this week is bringing
business to a close, the senate will
pass the shipping bill, workmen's COM
pensation bill and conference reports
preparatory for the revenue bill, on
which stubborn assault will be
waged by the Republicans. When the
amended revenue bill gets through con-
ference. it is expected congress will be
ready to adjourn. Leaders of both
parties are hoping adjournment will
come by September l.

Nearly 0ne-Fourth Of County's
Students Attend High School

"If Benton county had had eight
more students in the high school last
year, one-fourth of all the school chill
dren in that county would have been
attending high school. That is to say,
practically one pupil in every four who
attended school in Benton county last
year, was high school student" said
Superintendent of Public instruction,
J. A. Churchill, recently. This in
formation is contained in the annual
report Of County Superintendent Roy
e. Cannon, which was recently filed
with the state department Of educa-
tion.
The fact that any county in Oregon
has one-fourth of its pupils enrolled in
the high schools is considered re-
markable showing, in view of the fact
that the United States as a whole, less
than per cent of the children get into
the high school, according to the last
report of the United States commits
sioner of education. The attend
ance reports from many other counties
are almost equally encouraging. Mr..
Churchill believes that the increased
attendance in the high schools is due
to a considerable extent to their stand
ardization, and to the new high school
tuition fund law which provides free
tuition to high school students.

CONGRESS FINALLY APPROVES NAVAL
BlL---157 war CRAFT AUTHORIZED

Washington, D. C.--Congress virtu-
ally completed the national defense
program Wednesday by finally approv-
ing the great increases in naval con-
struction and personnel written into
the naval bill and urgently supported
by the administration. The bill car
ries appropriations aggregating $685.
900, 900.
The house accepted the building pro-
gram, to which its conferees on the
measure had refused to agree, by a
vote of 283 to 81, with seven of the
members present not voting. The
personnel increases, on which there al
SO was disagreement in conference,
were approved without a record vote.
The personnel and construction sec
tions, which already have the approval
of the senate, authorize an increase in
enlisted men to IA, 700 and the build
ing of 157 war vessels within the next
three years, with four battle cruisers
and four battleships included among
the ships for 1917. Previously the
house had refused to adopt continu-
ing building program, had authorized
only five capital ships, all Of them bat
tie cruisers, and had provided for a
personnel of only 65, 1000.
On several less important sections,
including appropriations for improve
ment of navy yards, the house insisted
on its disagreement to senate increases
and voted to send the bill back to con-
ference for settlement Of these points.
An early adjournment is expected,
however, and the measure may be sent
to the President for his signature
within week.

Wheat Hits Highest Mark Of
Season. Cereal May GO Higher

Chicago Wheat quotations Tues
day: September, $1,429; December,
$1.46s; May, s1.50a.
Amid trading that bordered on the
spectacular, wheat went soaring in the
pits of the Chicago board of trade
Tuesday, hitting the high-water mark
of the season.
September wheat, which had jumped
cents by noon. closed at SLAP, q
margin of AZ cents over Mondays
close. The high-water mark was
$1.43a. December hit the top mark
at 81. .46a, closing at $1.46, an advance
of So cents over Mondays close. May
wheat SCARED to $1.50a, dropping tx
81. so at the close. The rise was sen
sational and unexpected. 1t came il
the face of pending investigation Of
the trading on the board for the pur
pose of ascertaining whether or moi
the last skyrocket advance was due tt
unlawful manipulation.
Again crop report was blamed fol
the sensational turn. Traders said the
advances were traced directly to the
report of the Canadian minister Of ag-
riculture, which said conditions in
Canada were much worse than had
been previously indicated.
There were also reports that ap-
peared to show crop conditions in
Western parts of the United States as
being more pessimistic than shown by
the United States report, which was
made to bear the blame for the sky
ward advance of few days ago, and
which stirred the investigation bu-
reaus of the government to activity.
Numerous buyers of enormous guam
titles of cash wheat for foreign gov.
ernments were also reported to have
been active in the wheat pits and trad
ers pointed to this as proof against
any charge Of manipulation, into
which the officials are inquiring

British Munitions Output Quite
Sufficient for Self and flies

London Reviewing the work of the
munitions department in the house Of
commons recently, Edwin Samuel
Montagu, minister of munitions, after
telling of the immense increase in out
puts of all kinds of guns and NUM-
tions, informed the house that all rifles
and machine guns for the armies in
the field were being supplied entirely
from home resources. The quality Of
the guns and munitions, he said, was
equal to the quantity. This statement,
he added, was particularly true of the
heavy guns and howitzers. Mr.. Mon
tagu pointed out that half of the en-
geering resources of the country were
required for the navy but declared that
very shortly Great Britain will have
provided for her own requirements and
be able to devote herself exclusively to
the wants of her allies in regard to
machine guns. Already, he said, she
was sending large amounts Of guns and
munitions to her allies.
