RW&Uhable Tarktl Hold Up In Market NEW YORK, Feb. 10 () The stock market tried to rally today, af ter zlre sessions of sinking price, but tripped over another dividend reduc tion, and gave up moat of Its ad vance In the final hour. Bmall frac tional . gains predominated at the lose, but the late tone was heavy. The turnover approximated 1,400,000 shares. i After sagging 1 to 3 points in the early trading, the market turned up to show numerous gains of like ex tent, coincident with a run in of, shorts in Union Pacific, which rose more than 3.

Meek (Observer Correspondent) WALLOWA, Ore. (Special) With the recent steady upturn In egg prices, poultry keepers of this com munlty feel somewhat encouraged with the outlook for a better year In this Industry. During the past two weeks prices on fresh eggs here have advanced around 7c per dozen, with some of the local stores paying 22c per dozen. Production from . the greater part of the flocks In this community has been below normal for this season of the year but with the milder weather of the past week many of the farmers report that their bens are beginning to lay fairly well. Seme of the county road grading equipment has been in use recently in clearing the snow from some of the market roads In this county. During the early part of the week one of the large graders made a couple of trips over part of the Leap market road clearing off the deep snow. Some of the farmers living near the road hare been able to use their cars again after being snowed in for the past several weeks. Sleigh ing is still excellent on most of the roads of the community and a con siderable amount of wood hauling Is still being done. Reports from some , who have been hauling dry logs from ! the Whiskey creek district state that the snow Is about three feet deep there making It quite dlflcult to get out logs. Prank Walker, of Leap, delivered some dressed bogs in Enterprise the first of the week.

EDGAR WALLACE SUCCUMBS TODAY (Continued From Fage One) so poor they had to leave him in the care of a public boarding school. Sold Papers at 10 At ten he sold papers' on the streets and his education in school stopped at that age. At eleven he engaged himself as cabin boy on a trawler which later cruised the North sea. When eighteen, he enlisted as a private soldier and saw service in South Africa for the period of the Boer war. During his six years of active campaigning he developed a latent talent for writing. He began first by patterning after the man he most admired, Kipling, writing vigorous poetry of soldier life. This attracted the attention -of vari ous journals throughout the world with the result tthat Wallace had a ready sale for his material. Accumulating enough money, he purchased his discharge from the army and covered the rest of the Beer war as a special correspondent for Reuter's news agency and the London Daily mall. Founded Newspaper After the Boer war, he founded the Rand Daily Mall, the first Eng lish newspaper in South Africa. While editing the paper he began writing adventure stories which were eagerly sought by publishers in Lon don. ' During his career, he wrote approx imately 200 hovels, between 1300 and 1400 short stories' and 20 plays. Wallace was gray-haired, portly and claimed to be as lazy as he looked. He smoked continuously, four full packages of cigarets a day. and said he had kept up that rate for 30 years. "Whan I'm working. 16 hours a day lsnt unusual. The difficult thing Is to get started. I sit and think about work for an hour or so, then plunge ln. When I get started, I can't slop." " "On the Spot" Most Profitable His most profitable piece of labor was the play "On The Spot He wrote It In two days and received $ 1 00.000 for it. Mr. Wallace was twice married, in 1900. while he was 4n South Africa, to Ivy Maud Caldecott. and in 1921 to Ethel Violet King. Two sons and two daughters were born to him. Funeral arrangements probably will await the arrival of Mrs. Wallace who sailed from England today Just before her husband's (feath. PORTLAND LIVESTOCK PORTLAND.
