.COUNTY'S PRODUCTION
OF WHEAT TOTALSBIc
Crops OF More Than 100000
Bushels To Bring Big Sum
AT Revised Prices.

Tn spite of drouth, labor conditions
and other handieaps, the 1919 wheat
crop of Marion county is rolling up a
tremendous total when counted in bush.
els and dollars. The assessor S office
shows that the county harvested 35,255
acres of winter wheat and l2,435
acres of spring wheat. As a rule this
acreage has Jared better than wheat
in other parts of the state and in the
northwest, for there are threshing rec
ords showing yields up to nearly 60
bushels to the acre. If the yield is fig
, ured at the lowest probable minimum,
the crop would run up to about 100000
bushels.
How much of this is going through
Salem can only be vaguely estimated
/ Hundreds of truck loads are rolling
through the streets. There is such 4
labyrinth of wheat stacks at the
Cherry City mills that a man might
lose himself in the runways. An in
quiry put to an employe on the run
as to how much wheat was being hand
led brought only the reply-'I dun.
no; l know there's a devil of lot OF
it''--and he was quite right. The
samples show that the quality is aver
aging very good. The mill is turning
it into flour at the rate of 200 barrels d
day.
! AS to the value of the grain to Mar
! ion county, an idea may be gained
from the schedule of prices Just issued
by the U. s. Grain Corporation thf
figures being based on bulk wheat al
warehouses at Portland and Astoria
and based also ON No. wheat. Among
other grades listed is Red Durum al
$2.13; Red Spring, $2.15; White Club
$2.16; Soft White, $2.ls; Hard White
1920; Amber Durum and Dark Hard
Winter, 1929
Fro mthe foregoing prices there ii
TO be deducted cents for No. 2 wheat;
cents for No. B; 10 cents for No. 4;
and IA cents for No. 5, with an allow
ance of four and one-half for whea.
shipped in good sacks.
The figures issued by the Grain
Corporation as to the yield in the
country generally show a decided in
crease over that of a year ago. The re-
eeipts from the beginning OF the har-
vest TO the time Of the report showed
total of 289,04s,0O0 bushels as
against 1871 900 bushels for the same
period year ago. The total output of
flour for the period was 16,374,000 bar
rels while the total stock of wheat in
mills and elevators amounted to lS9,-

Presidents S Address.

Convention Hall, Kansas City, Mo-,
Sept 8. The text Of President Wilson 3
address follows:
Mr.. Chairman, my fellow countrymen:
cit is very inspiring to me to stand
in the presence of SO great company
Iof my fellow citizens and have the
privilege Of performing the duty that
1 have come TO perform. That duty is
to report to my fellow citizens concern
ing the work of the peace conference,
and every day it seems to me to become
more necessary to report, because so
mary people, who are talking about it,
don t understand what it was.
1T came back from Paris, bringing
one of the greatest documents of human
history (applause) One Of the things
that made it great was that it was
penetrated throughout with the princi-
pies to which America has devoted her
life. Let me hasten to say that one Of
the most delightful circumstances Of the
work on the other side Of the water was
that | discovered that what we called
American principles had penetrated to
the heart and to the understanding, not
lonly of the great peoples of Europe, but
, to the hearts and understandings of the
great men who were representing the
peoples of Europe.
"When these principles were written
into this treaty they were written there
by common consent and common con
viction but it remains true nevertheless
my fellow citizens, that principles are
written into that treaty which were new
er written into any great international
understanding before and that they
have their natural birth and origin in
this dear country to which we have de-
voted our life and service. (Applapse,)
And if you will bear with me l will
'cmind you of some of the things that
we have long desired and which are
at last accomplished in this treaty. I
think that / can say that one of the
things that America has had most at
heart throughout her existence has been
that there should be substituted for the
brutal processes of war the friendly pro
cesses of consultation and arbitration,
(applause) and that is done in the cove
nant of the league of nations. am very
anxious that my fellow citizens should
realize that there is the chief topic of
the covenant Of the league Of nations.
The greater part of its sessions, the
whole intent and purpose of the docu-
ment are expressed in provisions ty
which all the member states agree tnrt

RYAN FLATLY DENIES
CHARGE OF PROBERS
Former Airplane Production
Head Answers All Ac-
cllsaions.

Portland, Or, Sept. 6.---ss have not
and never had, directly or indirectly,
any interest in either Of the firms
mentioned. u
That message, signed by John ID.
Ryan, was received here today by Gen
eral Brice p. Disque and was admitted
into the record of the congressional
subcommittee Is investigation Of the
spruce production division.
The telegram was in answer to the
charge which had been made during
previous hearings of the congressional
probers that Ryan IS alleged interest
in the Sieins-Carcy company and the
Stems Carey -Kerbaugh corporation caus
cd lRyaa to give railroad construction
land logging contracts to the corpora
tion in Clallam county, Washington.
John y. Ryan was formerly direct
|or Of airplane production.
Another telegram from Charles A.
Stone, president Of the American IN
ternational corporation, likewise took
its place in the record. 1t denied the
charges that interlocking interests had
not only won from the government con-
tracts worth millions of dollars, but
had rewarded Disque with the $50, 900
presidency Of the G. Aminsck company,
which is the property Of the American
International corporation.
Disque testified today that the
"Blodgett tract' near Yaquina Bay,
was purchased after the armistice was
signed due to the desirability Of gov
ernment reserve Of high grade spruce
timber.
Disque had his innings in the spruce
production investigation at the Friday
afternoon session of the congressional
Subcommittee.
The former head of the spruce di-
vision in the states of Washington
land Oregon by his testimony, was able
to establish the following points:
That practical lumbermen and COM
Ipetent engineers recommended the con
struction Of the Olympic peninsula and
Yaquina Bay spruce roads.
That when all salvage is settled the
total cost Of spruce production in the
United States, involving an investment
of $50,00O,00O, will be less than $4,-
100000 as far as the United States
government is concerned.
That the spruce didn t accept the of
fer of the Siems-C Carey-Kerbaugb com
lpany to build its own road in Clallam
county, Washington, because the rail
road administration was then consider
| ing plan Of the Milwaukee road to
extend it's line into the Clallam spruce
region.

POOR NOT SUFFERING YET.
Social Service Worker Says That Class
Does Not Depend on Coal.

The poor in Mexico are rot suffer-
ing on account Of lack of coal, az
cording to Mrs. c. Kunzc, social SER
vice nurse. They are, so far, as well
off as they generally are at this time
Of the year, and are better off than
they were this time last year, she
says. Most of them do not burn coal
to any great extent, their fuel
for the most part being cobs, chips and
stray bits of rubbish which they gath
err up at no cost.
The lack of work caused by the
closing of the brick plant has not yet
caused any want on the part Of the
families of the employees, as might be
expected. Most of the men who were
employed at the plant have gone to
cutting wood and are making almost
if not as much as they were before the
plant closed.
1t is entirely possible, Mrs. Kunze
says, that there may be suffering on
the part of the poor class before the
coal shortage is over, but the people
she works with are not as likely to feel
that particular need as much as the
middle class.
