The market Inspectors and health of ficers yesterday started after the ped dlers who are hawking frostCd oranges about the streets. One wagon merchant with a load ot fruit unfit for sale waa found operating; on Third street. He had a few boxes of srood oranges, obtained from a Front-street dealer, with which he "-faced" his load, and back of It waa a large quantity of pithy, tasteless oranges that plainly showed the effect of frost. He was ordered on the spot to take the frozen fruit ta the crematory. The wholesale dealers are making every effort to keep frosted California oranges out of Portland, but in spite of their care the southern shippers oc casionally get a car here which they offer to tbe peddlers.
