 Off to a good start, McTasgart took Ormesdale out in front and never relin- quished the lead Dick Williams Bor- rcw and Celandria followed closely, while Spur, which was slow to get going, Old koenig and Fernrock were the order as they raced to the bend out of the back stretch. As they turned, Dick Williams and Celandria challenged the leader, but they were shaken off beaten and Borrow made his bid at the top of the home stretch.
 Meanwhile the favorite, Spur, running close to the rail was gamely answering his riders call and in the final quarter of a mile he passed Borrow, but was ur- able to gain on the leader. Spur had to be hard ridden and whipped to beat Bor- row.
 McTaggart had something left in his mount and when he let him down for the final effort Ormesdale responded and won going away in handy fashion. The winners time, 1:39 1-5, was excellent con- sidering the condition of the track. The race had a guaranteed value of 5000.

 The Barons and Lookouts are In a double bill today. Tn fact double headers are being played throughout the circuit for the first time of the season. The outcome of today's dou- ble clash will decide the series between the Barons and the Lookouts.

for Getting Tourist Trav-
ell for the North

Last winter the legislatures of
Oregon and Washington and the Par
Lament Of British Columbia appro-
priated $4,000 as an advertising
fund to attract tourist travel to the

The Pacific Northwest Tourist As

spending the funds, and the board of
directors has just concluded a meet
ing at Seattle where plans were made
for beginning the big drive to attract
the vacationists of the world to the
Northwest in 1918.
1t should be understood that the
only paid representative of the organ
ization is the secretary, Herbert
Cuthbert, of Seattle, who draws $500
per month. All other officers work
for nothing, the directors even pay

bills when attending the frequent
meetings.

Cause of Anxiety.
The experience this year in the
the rampant speculation, extortionate
profits and the prospect of even mar
rover supplies than the 1915 harvest
and carry over must cause the deep
est anxiety. No better proof of the
hardship worked upon our people
during the past year needs be adduced
than the recitation OF the fact that
the producer received an average of
i.6l per bushel for the 1915 wheat
CROW harvest, yet wheat has been as
high as 1925 at Chicago and the
price of fiour has been from time to
or wheat, so that through one evil
cause or another. the consumer has
suffered from so to 100 per cent and
the producer gained nothing.
All these factors render II vitality
necessary TO initiate systematic meas
ures which will absolutely eliminate
all possibility OF speculation. These
tive prosecutions of ev!ldoers. but only
by proper organization and regulation
all along the distribution chain.
During recent months the allied
governments have consolidated their
buying into one hand in order that
they might relieve the burden OF
speculation from their own consumers.
The export price. II not controlled,
is subject to the will of the allied
buyer, so that in a great measure
the American producer is left to that
buyers Judgment and is without
voice
In order to further stimulate the
efforts of 1918, 1t is absolutely vital
that we shall protect the farmer from
a slump in price this year.
= am informed that most Of the
allied countries have fxed the price
OF wheat to the farmer at $3.50 per
bushel and many of their producers
believe that as allies it Is our duty
to furnish wheat at a price which
delivered to them will not exceed do
mestic price: In other words, about
81 so per bushAl at Chicago.
"A government agency must step
in TO take up the surplus wheat in
the farmers hands now, just after
the harvest. II the price situation for
this and next year is to be served,
SAYS Mr., Hoover, and this cannot be
done unless the food Bill Is passed"
