1 THE MORXINQ OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, SEPTE3IBEB 23, T13. : r : i WHEAT VALUES OFF Market Easier With Declines East and Abroad. QUOTATIONS CENT LOWER Bnyersr requirements Are Well rilled by Heavy Operations of Last AVeek Large Increase Shown In Visible Supply. Trier, was an easier feeling In the wheat .r.,i vesterday. aa the export market waa lower and the East was down. Buyers were disposed to reduce their quotations about a cent all around. Operations last week were large, as farm ers in most sections were sellers. The trade's requirements were thus well taken care of. and with th, easing off of prices elsewhere, the buyers hero slowed down or reduced their bids. Exporters appear to be Jn aa easy position, a. they are taking on more ships. Millers are also believed to tie well supplied with ships. The Impression prevails that Canadian wheat may very soon be offered In this country, and this Is one actor that Is keeping buyers of bluestem In check. The oats market was quiet at Saturdays prices. Brewing barley was rather firm, but that was no demand for feed grade. Local receipts. In cars, were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as follows: Wheat Barley Flour Oats Hay Monday 2 18 12 S3 Yesr- aso 26 31 - S S?n fo date.SnM K3 W MT 42 Year ago S3ST Z0 4bi O-o The weekly wheat statistics or the Mer chants' Exchange follow: American visible supply- Bushels.

POTATO QUARANTINE 13 CONTTNCED Crop Conditions Indicate No Importations Will B Required. The Federal Horticultural Board of the Department of Agriculture has decided to continue indefinitely the potato quarantine that has been maintained during the past yar against contain countries from which our main Importations of potatoes come. The countries against which quarantine Is to be continued ar9 the British Isles. Germany, Austrla-Hungarla, Newfoundland and two Islands belonging to France In the St. Iwrenco River, called St. Pierre and iliquelon. ' The object of the quarantine, which was first Imposed a year ago. Is to prevent the introduction' Into the -Cnlted States of a dangerous potato disease, now unknown in this country. This disease Is known as the potato wart, the potato canker or black scab, and Is prevalent In those countries. This notice is of considerable importance to potato-growers, as It not only Insures their crops from the ravages of this disease, ut also may affect the price of potatoes. The board states that the present condition of the 1913 potato crop In the United States Is, on the whole, most promising. It does not seem apparent at this date that market conditions will require an Importation of potatoes Into the United States this winter.

(SpeciaL) If anyone has any doubt about the fighting anility of a big cinnamon bear, Bert De Lore, a cattleman of this place, can dispense the doubt and give a few hundred pointers on the way to keep out of the way of bruin after hav ing "roped" him with a lariat. Mr. De Lore's right to talk on the subject comes through a battle which he had with a monster cinnamon, and which lasted half an hour. The cattle man won the fight that Is, he kept the anlme.1 from getting away or getting to himself and pony until the arrival of his son and. another young man, who dispatched the beast. Mr. De Lore was rounding up his cat tle in' the Menatche Creek and Salmon River district, and the youths had ac companied him into that region to hunt grouse. After separating, Mr. De Lore saw the bear coming out of some brush in which the lads had disappeared. Being unarmed, Mr. De Lore decided to "take a chance" with bruin and "rope" him. Quick action followed the decision and then the battle began. The rope fell about the neck and un der one of the bear's forelegs. The next 30 minutes was devoted by Mr. De Lore to keeping astride his cow pony, which seemed to enjoy the sport, as the clever steed dodged to and fro to keep out of the way of the charging bear. The arrival of the young hunters finally ended the battle. BAN DON OUTGROWS SCHOOL Structure Intended to Do for Years Already Is Overtaxed. BANDOir, Or., Sept 22. (Special.)

Physicians for Plaintiff and Defend ant Make Examination and Offer Testimony. New procedure In the introduction of expert testimony was tried yester day in the case of J. H. Criteser vs. the Portland Railway. Light & Power Comr pany. when Judge Davis called in Drs. & H. Sheldon and H. I. Keeney, as "friends of the court," to testify as to the present physical condition of the plaintiff. Judge Davis did not adopt the change of policy until his plan had received the approval of attorneys for both sides. If the new method proves satisfactory In the present case Judge Davis will agree to the use of court physicians. As suggested by Judge Davis, attor neys for both sides submitted a list of physicians. Judge Davis selected one physician from each list, and invited them to come to his courtroom as amlcl curiae. The doctors made an examina tion of the plaintiff and later testified before the court. Judge Davis believes that the new procedure will save time and give the court and Jury Impartial evidence as to the permanency of the injuries for which the plaintiff may be asking damages. Neither of the physi cians knew for which side he had been called. . The physician who attended a person at the time of the injury is not for bidden to testify according to Judge Davis' programme, but his testimony must be confined to the nature of the injuries at that time and must not touch on the present condition of the injured man. ... . . Mr. Criteser Is asking J10,185 for in juries to his leg, back and shoulders and Internal injuries received when a streetcar struck an automobile in which the plaintiff was riding.
