THOMPSON, F. Si P. A., Room 1, Colman Bldg., Seattle, Wh. ggs Dropping Day bp Day Poultry Is in Strong Demand but Pork Is Weaker Now Than for Many , Days. Front Street, Jan. 18 The principal events in the local wholesale markets today were: J Chinook salmon lower. Hogs go lower, Egga still weaken. CHINOOK SALMON IS LOWER. The Quotations on Columbia river Chinook salmon are 5 cents a pound lower on account of the slight increse in the receipts. The fish markets are well supplied with all small fisn with the exception of smelt. HOGS ARE LOWER. Although the receipts of hogs are not over large along Frout 'street, still the market went lower today on account of the fact that former quotations were a trifle too strained and the slight in crease in the receipts caused the price to go down. Veal is very scarce and is bringing top quotations. The beef mar ket is about the same as on Taturday. KGGS STIl.L WEAKER. Receipts cf iggs "till r-how an in crease, and although the movement is a trifle larger the market is only -Beak. The toD of the market todav was 27 cents with a few sales made all the way from 26 cents to that figure. POULTRY IN DEMAND. The many conventions which are be ing held in this city during the week will make a la-ge call of poultry, and the market todav was quite good lor a Monday. Receipts are not overlarge. Turkevs, ducks and geese continue to be Wanted. MUCH WEAKER IN CHEESE. The cheese market is very weak and s'.ock is showirg only a dragging ten dency . Some sales of cheeRe were made on the Btreet today at 13 cents for full cream stocks. Receipts continue to show an increaee. BUTTER IS BETTER. The quotation show no charge in the batter market today, but the very bost grades of creamery are showing a decid ed improvement in tone. Ordinary grades continue to drag along wearily and country store and dairy have the same dragging tone. BUTTER EGGS AND POULTRY.

Obituary, Died, December 31, at her home on Agency Plains, Mrs. Carolina Oard, wife of M. O. Gard, resulting from chronic stomach trouble. The deceased waa born in Sept., 1856, on what is known as the old Welch farm in Highland, Clackamas county, where sue lived until Out. 1874, when she was married to M. O. Gard, of Beaver Creek, who still survives her. There were born to this couple eight cnildren, seven of whom are living,;viz. : Mi-s. Ada Stevens, of Highland; Mrs. Eva Kirk, of Agency Plain; Messrs. Chester, Buanard and Levid and the Misses Myrtle and Deona, who are still living with their father of this place. Mr. and Mm. Gard and family lived in Clackamas county until June 1903, when they moved to their homestead at Agency Plain. The deceas d waa a firm believer of the Gospel and always tried to live up to the dutes of a Christian. She leaves one sister and two., brothers to mourn her loss, viz.: Mrs. Mary Kirk, of Mont gomery, Cal. ; Mrs. Frank Welch, of Oregon City, and Charles Welch, of Highland. The remains were laid to rest on the home place, there being no ctte chosen for a cemetery as yet. The bereaved family has the entire sympathy .of the Agency l'laln. V, Saved from Terrible Death. The family of Mrs. M. L. Bobbitt of Bargerton, Tenn., saw her dying and were powerlesB to save her. 1 he most skillful physicians and every remedy used, failed, while consumption was slowly but surely taking her life. In this terrible hour Dr. King's New Dis covery for Consumption turned despair into joy. The first bottle brought im mediate relief and its continued ue completely cured her. It's the most certain cure in the world for all throat and lung troubles. . Guaranteed bottles 50c oiid $1. Trial bottles free' at Char man & Go's drugstore. OASToniA.

One does not have to seek here for muUerings against Mr. Roosevelt. Of" a larpe part of this undercurrent of op position ia due to the hostility of organiz ed capital on the one side and organized labor on the other. The main complaint is that Mr. Roosevelt is not a safe man, and that, impulBivelv, he dees thintre in jurioua to the cause of capital i nd labor.- it is a singular situation when a great public character is assailed by both eidei n the industrial world. The truth iB, the Democrats do not expect to gather much real fruit from this controversy. They are banking on the divisions be tween Eastern and Western Republicans over Roosevelt, and a chance, (which the think exists somewhere, to prove that the acts of the Administration in regard to the Panama Republic affair are open to the censure of the world and es pecially to the censure of the conserva- , tive people of a nation that believes in fair play toward a weaker nation. Dili gently the Democrats are working this mine. As natters now stand, however, the initial talk of the campaign year center chiefly around an Eastern Gold Demo crat for the head of that ticket and Mr. Roosevelt as the Republican leader. Little is said about the second place on either ticket. When Governor Taft ar rives here he will be Bounded on the subject, but it is expected he will repel it with vigor. Whether he can be in duced is a nueation, but a strong effort will be made. In the mtanwhile the stock of Senator Fairbanks continues to be above par. The dilliculity with the leaders just now is to plan Biiccesuful campaign committee organizations. If Mr. Hanna retires, which some of his closest friends here still insist he will not, a new selection must be. made, and, already, it is discovered tint it will be no easy task to find the right man. The Democrats are in the same fix. Senator Jones, of Arkansas, being ont of the Senate and out of touch with the politi cians of his state, is regarded as political ly dead. Not a tew Democrats alwayi regarded him as all of that during both campaigns in which he headed the Demociatic National Committee. With Bryaniem cant aside, as the program is, no National Chairman of the Jones Btnmp would be thought of by the men who are trying to put ginger into the Democrat ic don!tey for this year's rase.
