NEWS OF FARM AND RANGE Sltip Wheat by Vatr The follow ing story of local Interest Is from last evening's Journal: The significance of the opening of l he Celllo canal is foreshadowed by the establishment of a water trans portation service by the Astoria Flour ing Mills company. The steamer An nie Cummings will go to The Dalles tomorrow trf load the first installment of wheat for the company and convey It directly to the mill. This Is the first time in years that wheat has l?en shipped from the Interior to As tcria. In addition to the first ship tnent by the Annie Cummings. the milling company Is now loading on a Imrge at Irving dock. In this city, 350 tons of wheat to be shipped to Asto ria. "We found at Astoria," said Edgar V. Smith, president of the Astoria Flouring Mills company, today, most favorable location for a flour mill, except the discriminatory rates on which, which we have prepared to overcome by means of water transpor tatlon " After the Celilo canal Is opened it Is the plan of the company to extend its service to upper river points. The initial capacity of the Astoria mill is 500 barrels per day, and It Is planned to Increase this to 1000 bar rels. Mr. Smith recently purchased 15.000 bushels of wheat In the Was co district, to be shipped from The Dalles, and 10,000 bushels in Port land, making a supply of 25,000 bush els when the mill begins grinding. The present railroad rates on wheat to Astoria are 21 1-2 cents per 100 According to the estimate of Mr, Smith, this can be reduced 60 per cent by the water transportation inaugur ated by his company. Kange Stock Still Iligh Despite the fact beef prices in the Portland market have been disappointing this spring and have prevented feeders from making expected profits there is no reduction in the price of beef cattle thus far. Purchases that have been made recentlv show prices of 160 for cows and for cows and calves These prices are fully as high as the stock cattle prices a- year ago. It will be remembered that the feeders paid high prices for their stock last fall and after feeding them valuable hay during the winter have been forc ed to sell at prices such as the pack ing house Interests paid In the days before range beef went up. If pres ent tendencies continue It is possible there will be a repetition of the sit uation neiA winter.

Violated Quarantine: Jailed. It was a case of "out of the frying pan into the fire" for Dan West, middle aged man who has been board- ing and rooming at the home of Mrs Swarthout, 1114 East Court street. At- ter being quarantined in the house for three weeks he no' finds himself an Inmate of the city Jail for 12 days and all because he could not wait an hour or two longer for his liberty. The quarantine was to be raised Saturday and in the morning of that' day he came down town. However, he did so before the house had been fumigated and the quarantine officially raised. He was arrested and this morning convicted upon the testimony of City Physician I. U. Temple and Dr. E. O. Parker. The Judge gave him a choice of paying $25 or going to Jail for 12 days, and he went to jail. When the Pendleton high school de bating team meets the Astoria schol a.stlc word mongers, it will have to undergo a supreme test of Its mettle for, under a ruling of the University of Oregon, the local debaters must reverse themselves on the question with which they won the eastern Ore gon championship last Friday evening in contest with Baker. At that time the local team defended the negative and the debate with Astoria will find them advocating the affirmative, of the same question. Astoria high school defeated The Dalles on the same night and she too had the negative side. Thus it be came necessary for either Pendleton or Astoria to switch and Pendleton has been elected. Her experience against The Dalles will give the coast town debaters opportunity to strength- en on a side in which they were al ready strong whereas Pendleton will have to begin all over and try to make a winning argument for a side that has twice proven the weaker. If they win from Astoria, the local debaters and Coach Hampton will be entitled to more than ordinary praise. .They are now hard at work preparing for the battle. ' The question, It will be remembered, reads as follows: "Resolved, That the general welfare' of the United States would be fostered by the complete ap plication of the principle of tariff for revenue only." The Astorla-Pendleton debate will be for the championship of eastern Oregon and the Columbia river dist rict. The winner will be the champion of the Willamette valley and southern Oregon districts for the championship of the state. The debate and place of the debate has not yet been establish ed but It Is probable that it will staged on neutral territory because of the ex pense to either school in receiving the nmjoslng team. A city miaway De tween Pendleton and Astoria may be selected. Trn'it Season Opens Today. The trout season opened toe ay to the Joy of all fishermen.
