EGGS EXPECTED HERE
Chinese egg to the number of about
20H0 cases are due to arrive In Ore
gon before thn end of the week, a tre
mendous shipment of nearly lS.OOO
cases having Just Ix-en received at
Vancouver, II. C. Another shipment of
aa tunny cases Is due on tho next
steamer arriving at the Hrltlsh Colum
bia port. It Is figured that there Is
upwards of 4M)0 cases of Chinese eggs
In storage In Oregon and before tho
fall selling season opens not les than
Hi.OOO rnses and maybe a great many
more will bo on bund ready for deliv
ery at rsnry prices. The eggs due this
week will cost about 15 to 1DV4, centa
a doien to the Importer.
In the local markets and abundance
of Oregon eggs are In evidence. A
few of tha big Interests are still stor
ing, hut not as hesvlly a heretofore.
There Is no lack or supplies and re
ceipts daily are heavy and steadily on
the increase. One of the leading Port
bind Interests has ceased buying, as
their men are able to pick up all the
eggs they want In the country and
then ship direct to the house. This
firm slates they are handling upwards
of TOO rase daily through their buy
ers. lOLMEN'S FORECAST
Indication In Oregon among tho
woolgrower are for a most prosper
ous season, according to report Just
received from Rend, which state that
for the first time In years practically
eviry pound of the Interior yield haa
been contracted for, on the hoep'
back, long lwfore shearing, at prices
generally three cents higher than
those Paid Inst yeBr. These report
are causing wool men In other sections
to sit un and take notice and as a re-
ault it Is believed that highest prices
ever recorded In Oregon will be paid
before the season la over.
According to U It. Fosa. who hand
lea all wool business for the O.-W. R.
& N. company, who haa but recently
completed an extended tour of Inveatl
) nation through the growing sections
ilio Indleullnna for Ihla venr'i cron are
that they will exceed those of 1913 by
at least 10 per cent and possibly more.
This year the price at which contracta
were closed top Inst season's, the av
erage thla year being approximately
14 centa a pound, against 11 cents a
year ago.

EGG MARKET SHOWS
BUT LITTLE CHANGE
While but little change Is shown as
yet In values In the Oregon egg mar
ket, trade conditions are not nearly so
favorable as they were a week or 10
days ago.
At that time storage operations were
being carried on by local parllc on
rather an cvtenslve scale and for that
reason everything that came forward
found a liberal demand and this helped
to not only stimulate the movement,
but strengthened the price to a very
considerable degree.
So far as can be ascertained at the
moment there are practically no stor
age operations In the state at the pres
ent time. All of the big fellows who
were eagerly seeking stock for stor
age a week or 10 days ago are now
practically out of the market except
for their regular trade requirements.
Naturally this has already had a weak
ening effect upon values in general and
some accumulations of arrivals are
shown along the street.
What Is belloved to be the greatest
amount of Chinese eggs that has ever
been shipped to the Pacific coast Is
due from the orient within a few
duys. The exact amount has not been
disclosed by the Importers but they
acknowledge that the volume will be
grenter trmn ever before.
Aside from a few cases which had
been broken in transit, local Importers
say they have not yet offered the
Chinese eggs for general sale In this
market as yet, although they have
been freely offered on Puget sound. It
Is the present Intention of the Import
ers to offer tho oriental stock here
within the next few days and the price
will probably be placed at 16c a dozen.
Most of the stock that has come to
the coast to date has been placed In
storage and will probably be held
there until the price begius to stiffen
somewhat for the local product.

Announcement has been made by
Charles L. Mc.N'ary, now a member If
the Supreme Court, that be will be a
candidate on the Republican ticket for
one of tha position nn that tribunal,
there being four Justices to be nomi
nated by the people In the May pri
maries.
JuHtice Mc.S'ary is a resident of Sa
lem. He was bom of pioneer parents
on a farm In the Willamette Valley
forty years ago. His grandfather.
James McNary, settled on a donation
claim In Clackamas County near the
present site of Milwaukee In 1S45, and
his father, II. L. McNary was a school
teacher In the Willamette Valley in the
early fifties.
After acquiring his early education
in the Salem public schools and his
collegiate and legal education by sup
porting himself. Justice McNary enter
ed upon bis profession In Salem, more
than 15 years ago. For several years
he served as Assistant District Attorn
ey for the Third Judicial District, and
won the reputation of being a fearless
and capable prosecutor. For six years.
in fact until his accession to the Su
preme Court, he waa the Dean of the
Willamette College of Law. and made
It one of the ranking colleges of the
West. With his own struggles for an
education still fresh in his mind be
made It a rule to deny no student an
eucation because of the lack of money,
and dozen of graduate of this col
lege are today Indebted to Justice Mc-
Nsry's financial generosity for their
legal education.
Reared with the common class, he
early learned to know the wants, needs
and sufferings of the masses, and has
always been a staunch champion of
their cause. During bis career as a
Justice of the Supreme Court he has
endeavored to interpret the law a a
living progressive science, rather than
as a rule too old to be corrected if
found inapplicable to present day con
ditions and has written many import
ant decisions. It was Justice McNary
who wrote the forceful and much dis
cussed dissenting opinion in the State
v. E. S. J. McAllister., Defining the
duties of courts in this opinion he said
In part: "The value of law is its prox
imity to reason, its certainty and un!
versality. The abuses in the admin
istration of law is to adhere blindly to
a rule that savors of Iniquity simply
because It is a Judicial decision. The
