No Increase In
( Butter Output;
I Prices Steady
' PORTLAND, July 16 W) Increased
supply of butter on the local market
during the last day or so and for the
week to date scarcely reflects a bet
terment In the output. Rather It ap
pears that the gain In the local sup
ply la due entirely to the fact there
was one holiday last week. The In
crease In the country supply hero In
dicates that Portland Is paying rela
tively better prices for underscore
butter than other markets along the
coast.
. There was no further chnngo In the
price list on the open market for the
day; both prints and cubes being held
stationary at the rocent botterment
for underscores. ' j
Butterfat values ore stoady.
There was again a lack of price
cnange In tne local market ior eggs.
General conditions wero unchanged.
xxjoe.HU. are now u. ..u.ug ..,..
own.
. While there was somo talk of price
reduction by poultry buyers for the
coming week, no changes were an-
nouncod In values on hens for the
day. Full stoadlness Is reflected for
broilers.
First peach plums of the season
have been received from Tne Danes.
Priced around 1.26 box. Quality Is
good.
., wild blackberries are arriving In
fair supply out of the Maygcr section
of the Lower Columbia. DcmaJid Is
reported favorable with salca around
121214o lb.
Considerable activity Is suggested
In the markot for loganberries, rosp
borrles and blackcaps with prices
steady to a trifle better In spots.
Strawberries are scarce and thore Is a
fair call at full prices.
' While there was a rather liberal
supply of country killed calvco re
ceived during the last 24 hours: de
mand was Btrong and sufficient to
olean up qulokly at full prices. Othor
meats are steady to strong.
Early turkey season Is suggested In
the groat numbor of young birds
weighing 6 to 8 lbs., now available.
There Is a demand for broilers weigh
ing 314-4 lbs., but these aro hard to
locate.
The advance of 16o per hundred
pounds reported yesterday by Pacific
as well as Atlantic coast refiners, Is
now In effect In the sugar market
here. The market Is firm.
- Notes of wholesale trading:
Changes In lard, cooking compounds
and picnics now showing.
First carload of California Bartlote
pears of the season has arrived. Priced
mostly 12.25 box.
Tomatoes aro steady for outdoor
stock with hothouse too scarce to
base quotations.

reported around 2 for standard crate
or 1 for halves.
Small sized oranges aro up about
26o case.

"Tho foreign markets aro Improved,

havo been somewhere between six and
eight cents. Tho San ford -Gooaall

. Max Bcnmeung. more puyu.a.
he ever was as a heavyweight cham-
plon who won his title on a techni
cality, will be back from Germany In
a few weeks to resume a lighting
career that may somo day carry him
to ring greatness.
He has his chance now to pick
up again the steady progress ho was
making as a prize lighter when he
overreached himself two years ago,
came too soon to his title chance,
and Instead of tho defeat Jack
Sharkey . was administering that
night suddenly was awarded a
championship on a foul.
Pew fighters havo ever climbed
the title stairs with as little major
experience the the leather-hided
German. He leaped to his title
chance in Just three Important
bouts, a decision over Joe Sckyra,
a knockout of Johnny Rlsko, and a
decision over Pauling Uzcudun.
ALL HAD TO FIGHT
Even Jim Jeffries, who had but
ten battles to his credit when he
whipped Bob Fitzslmmons 40 years
ago ln Carson City for the most
meteoric heavyweight title rise of
all times, faced more testing, pol
iBhing opposition than that. Jim
had beat Gus Ruhlln, Joe Choyln
skl, Peter Jackson and Tom Shar
key on the way up.
Ruby Rob had at least 50 stiff
matches . before he got his title
chance against Jim Corbett and
Gentleman Jim had a score to his
credit before he conquered the im
mortal John L. Sullivan.
It took Dcmpsey over 61 battles,
against the toughest of foes, to de
velop his terrific attack.
Gene Tunney needed years of pa
tient development and 60 fights to
bring, forth the ability that finally
ended Dcmpsey's reign. ' ,'
Even Jess Wlllnrd, ln a white
hope era that knew few real heavy
weights,' fought 30 times and beat
such fellows as Arthur Pelky, Lu
ther McCarthy, Gunboat Smith, Carl
Morris, Boer Rodel and Al Williams
beforo he was matched with the
busiest of all the heavyweight ti
tllsts, Jack Johnson.
STARTED FROM TAW
Schmcllng came here four years
ago with almost no boxing ability,
and nothing to hint of future ac
complishment except unlimited en
durance, tremendous courage, abili
ty to take punishment, and a sharp,
short right hand.
Lack of experience, absolute in
ability to cope with a boxer and
piincher of Sharkey's ability that
nighT. stuck out all over Schmel
lug's offensive two years ago.
But he made a laboratory of his
exhibition tours, developing his box
ing, his punching, until he was able
to make a show of Young Strlbllng
last summer. And when he met
Sharkey for tho second time he wns
un even more Improved wnrrlor.
Now he will battle Mlckoy Walk
er. King Levlnsky, or Max Baer
some time this fall and with it
should come even greater improve
ment. Then he enn fight Ernie
Schanf or Johnny Rlsko again,
probably for the Garden ln Miami
ln February. When next summer
rolls around he will havo tho ex
perience and polish ho still needs.

Aged Engineer
Sticks to Post
LIVINGSTON, Mont., July 16 m
John B. Sires. 70, who will be re
tired from the Northern Pacific in 15
days, holds true to the engineers code
that trains must be brought ln on
time.
Yesterday he was breezing . along
through a tunnel on Bozeman hill.
A flue burst, poured water Into the
firebox of his looomotlve and the
steam blew the fire box door open,
scalding Sires and disabling the lo
comotive. Racked with pain, Sires stuck to
his post and coasted his train 14.
miles into Livingston where a waiting
helper locomotive picked up the train
and brought it on Into tho depot.
The train was only a few minutes
late. The aged engineer will recover
from his burns. ;
