WHO PAYS?

Now that the IS, 900, 900 road bond
has been adopted. the question OF
who will pay the bill for the roads to
be built is interesting.
In spite of some Of the campaign
knocking. the automobile owners OF
the state will pay both interest and
principal on this bond issue OF S6.-
900. 900. There is not the slightest
doubt on this point.
The records OF the secretary OF
states ONCE up to June /. Of this
year show total automobile regis
tration for the state Of 3s.2so.
The records show the number OF
automobiles registered which are
new sales and for the last six months
these new automobiles number.
1908. $50. 7ss. 1.140, 1871, 1898
for each Of the months respectively
This indicates the rapid growth in
the states automobile population"
and is an evidence Of the increasing
revenue which viii accrue from au-
tomobile licenses year after year.
OF the total automobiles register
ed June 1. there were. 14.4s4 Fords.
The Studebaker. Overland and Buick
came next closely punched. eacn
numbering about $500 in the state.
A third classification numbering
about 1900, are the Dodge. Maxwell
and trucks. The Chevrolet, Ford
trucks and Cadillacs number about
900 each.
The registration shaws that Multi
nomah county automobile owners
number IL, ,405. Other leading coun-
ties having more than 1000 are, in
their order: Marion, Umatilla, Lane.
Jackson Clackamas, Linn, Yamhill
and Washington. The three coun-
ties containing less than 100 auto
mobiles are Curry, Wheeler and Lin
coin.
OF the SO counties in the state
there are Is or exactly one half
where more automobiles are owned
than in Josephine county, which is
credited with 513. Josephine coun-

PEACE PROPOSAL Of
GERMAN SOCIALISTS

Amsterdam. June ia majority
OF the German socialists here have
outlined the following as a peace pro-
gram which would probably be ac'
ceptable to the German imperial gov
ernment:
No indemnity to Belgium because
II would be difficult to determine
which OF the belligerents were re-
sponsible for the war and for the
damage done In Belgium.
Return to Germany her lost col
onles under the socialistic doctrine
OF no annexations.
Germany to retain Alsace-Lorraine
because nine-tenths OF the popula-
tion Is OF German blood or speak
German.

| SHEEP-A famine sharpened packers ap-
petites for lambs this morning and the
/ trade was fairly active at prices that were
| Esq soc higher than yesterday. The few
cars that were offered had all crossed the
| by the middle of the forenoon. Quality OF
most of the offerings was good.
| The leads of California spring lambs OF
very good quality sold at $17.00, with a light
| sort. The price is as high as has been paid
In more than week. Clipped lambs showed
| the full strength Of the advance. Some
| of Sl4.25 were a little grassy and not very
| desirable. Better kinds reached $lAS5@
| 1900, the latter price todays top, and the
| best price recorded here In nearly two
weeks. No natives Of consequence were on
offer.
Sheep were q minus quality So far this
week they have shown no tendency to make
| much Of an advance. and today were not
nominally quoted more than strong. Feeders
also were lacking. Yesterday two car
bunch of California springers went to a
feeder at $14.T5.
| Supplies were extremely light, though not
| so small as q week ago today when owing
| to the severe storm only one car got in.
| Todsy's arrivals were estimated at I've cars
or 1850 head. The total for the first half
of the week Of $3.50 head is 1000 smaller
| than a week ago. and only little more
| than half as large year ago, but heavier

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Optimistie Wheat Crop Reports Continue to
Force Cereal Prices Down.

Chicago, June 13--Optimistfc forecasts re-
garding the yield this season In the pa
kotas, Minnesota and some other sections
tended to cause a decline in wheat today.
| Largely as result the market, although
steady at the close was i5c TO &c net
lower. with July at s2.31 and September at
s20Ih. Corn finished Nc to 2he up. and
oats gained &c to Nc. Tho outcome in
provisions was a setback of 2hc to 25c.
One of the leading authorities In the
wheat trade estimated the 1917 prediction
In North and South Dakota and Minnesota
at 10000, 900 bushels. as against $4,000 900
last year. There also were continued IA
vorable reports from Canada which were
partly offset, however. by assertions that
three Of the provinces would not harvest
within t.000,0 acres of the 1916 total Ad-
vices from Missouri. Kansas and other win
ter wheat states pointed to harvest above
the average on the acreage which had not
been abandoned
Corn rallied sharply from an early selling
rush, which was due to expected warmer
weather. On the decline heavy buying was
| said to have been done for seaboard account.
Besides. many complaints were received
that excessive rains of late had put the
crop in an unfavorable condition.
Firmness in the oats market developed
In the main from signs of a liberal export
demand, July delivery was In especially
good request.
Liquidating sales by holders weakened
provisions Most of the pressure was on lard
and ribs.

Tho trade IN rye waa very quiet during
