COLLISION ON
OREGON TRAIL;
NO ONE HURT
A car driven by D. H. gges, Baker
merchant, collided with a truck on
the Old Oregon Trail highway about
four or five miles east of La Orande
at 6:20 p. m. yesterday afternoon.
Mr. Bogges' car was damaged some
what but no one was hurt.
According to a report made to the
police, Bmmett Thompson and Ray
McCarroll had stopped the truck in
order to make repairs. The Bogges car
apparently did not see the truck In
time to avoid a collision, it was re
ported.
PORTLAND, Jan. 8 (JP Trading
in the egg market was mora active
and generally at lower prices. While
local co-ops were reported holding for
21c dozen for extras, all others In
dicated a 20o top for that grade.
In spots the market for butter
looked higher here as a result of
greatly Increased consuming move
ment of late. Today production.
while more than seasonable, was not
holding up so well.
Indicating the futility of trying to
establish proper quotations on the
Portland produce exchange based up
on supply and demand Is reflected
in the weekly review of the cheese
trade. The late decline in .price on
the local exchange was utterly out of
line with what was happening in
practically all other ports of the
country, the survey shows.
Instead of lower prices, as named
on the local exchange, higher prices
were generally forced elsewhere with
the government.
