ren. He was born in Bavaria, but came !
to America when a young man.
Mr. Peringer had always been a
man of regular habits, a temperate
and well read man and had always
been a good neighbor. He was about
53 years of age. Nothing was known
of his intentions and his sudden and
peculiar end was a surprise to the
people of that vicinity where he had i
lived for the last 19 years.
Former residents of Carus now liv
ing in Oregon City speak highly of
the deceased and assert he had a good
farm and was in fairly good circum
stances. He had lived in the Carus
neighborhood about 19 years. He was
55 years old.
POTATOES
DECLINE
MARKETS.
IN
LOCAL I
The local market is practically at
a standstill as far as prices are con
cerned. Good ranch butter is still
commanding the price of GO cents per
roll but the supply on the market is
short. The potato market is weak and
spuds have taken a decline p $1.20
and $1.30 per sack. This is due to the
great amount of potatoes now on hand
which were secured by coast dealers
from the east when they saw that
there would be a short supply in this
part of the country. Since the weather
has improved throughout Oregon and
the shortage of cars has been over
come the buyers have been forward
ing large shipments and the market
Is now practically overloaded, thus
aiding the decline. Good onions are
now in the market and prices are fair,
retailing at $1.00 per sack. The great
supply that has been shipped In to
the coast will also torn! to muke a
decline In the prices for some time.
