the Spokane meeting and the recon-
mendations endorsed at that meeting
will doubtless receive the support Of
Senator Borah when the matter is re-
ceived at Washington.
The protest by the growers of the
northwest is based ON the grounds
that the production In the northwest
this season will be largely used to
satisfy the home demands and the gov
ernment Is treating the farmers
of the northwest unfairly when 1t
establishes a price of $1.87 at the
mills of the Lewiston country when
growers in the vicinity of Chicago will
receive $2.20 for the same grade of
wheat The price established by the
government is $2.20 at Chicago for
No. ! northern spring wheat and q
price of 81 at Portland for the same
grade. The freight rate and ware
house charge deducted from the
Portland price would make the Lew
iston crop worth S1.S7 for the No. /
northern spring grade The prices at
other sections of the northwest will
be determined by the freight rate to
Portland plus the warehouse charge
and with a large per cent of the crop
Tnilled in the home mills for home
consumption, the contention is ad-
vanced by the farmers that the wheat
Is worth as much for home consump-
tion at northwest points as at Chicago
The estimate made yesterday by
local graind callers is that the market
crop of the Lewiston country will be
less than fifty per cent of normal II
is stated the wheat marketed will be
from so to 60 per Cent of normal but
the barley and oats will be less thar
% per cent of normal. The prairie
farmers win harvest very little barley
and oats and this will mean thai
wheat will necessarily be held for feed
in many localities.

WHEAT PRICE FIXED; $2.2O

the 1917 crop today by the wheat
price-fixing commission headed by III.

after three days celebration, were

was heard on all sides, as it was soon
Inquired that the price to the prairie
farmers would range between $1.60 and

fairs Officer Re-
signs.

Although the statute of limitations
had run against thom, w. p. O'Connor
state loan agent, who resigned Aug 81
following the submission of his re-
port to the land board, was able to
collect IL out of IL loans of state funds
made prior to Jan. /, 1917 when the
present state administration came into
power, SAYS the Boise Capital News.
This fact is brought out in the
report, one of the most interesting
that has been filed with the board. 1t
further shows that in other loans the
board failed TO take water stock as Sc
curity while in others stock has not
been assigned. Mortgages are missing,
errors have been made, and 10 loans
were made contrary to the law. In
the matter of the loan signed to w.
L Clifford, former secretary of state,
all papers, notes and mortgages are
missing, the record showing they were
obtained by Clifford and apparently
never returned.
Delinquent Loans Paid.
While the O'COnnur report does not
mention the fact. it was stated to the
land board that all but 1877 delinquent
loans were cleaned up by the land de-
partment during the first six months
of the present year. There were 200
delinquent loans on Jan. /, 13i:. The
record made in settling the 612 loans
during that period is considered an
excellent one.
In presenting his resignation to the
board Mr.. O'Connor stated that he ex-
poets to return to his private law
practice at Nampa. He was appoint
ed early this year to investigate and
made report on outstanding loans
and has since been at work on that
task His salary was fixed at $210I
hper year. Mr.. O'Connor's resignation
was accepted. 1t is probable that nc
one will be appointed to succeed him
Law Clearly Violated.
The report shows that the II loans
upon which the statute of limitation,
ran. amounted to $3O,700. All of thii
was collected except a loan for $250t
and the statute ran against that Tn,
