' : i Hitherto Xeglected Variety Finds Favor Othe Sorts Called For and Supplied at Low Prices. The miraculous draught of fishes, which all but snapped the nets and wamped the boats in Biblical days, has a close modern parallel in the tons of sea-fish which have been sold at the Ad Club's experimental cost-price fish market at Third and Yamhill streets during the last two days. The finny company was a motley one. In which ling cod and groupers jostled the royal Chinook of the Colum bia, but no more bo than the incersant fctream of purchasers, drawn from every district In. Portland, who gath ered to avail themselves of the reduced prices and replenish the raided larder. There were folk from Portland Heights who came in their own cars, and folk from farthest Fulton. With common accord, they turned to the op. portunity for patriotic remonstrance atrainst high living cpsts and the sat isfaction that follows successful bargain-chasing. ... Black Cod In Demand.' Perhaps the most popular denizen of the deep proved to be that much maligned but excellent fish, black cod, who, long since, was sneeringly held to be the poorest of poor relations, and was cast back into the sea when the nets brought him forth. Food sharps of the Bureau of Fish eries took the blaok cod to pieces, scientifically, and discovered that he was a. compact bundle of extremely palatable food units. Through a side excursion into psychology they reached the conclusion that his lack of popu larity came from the unlovely name- he bore, and accordingly rechristened him the sable fish. But it was as black cod that he sold yesterday in the Ad Club market, hun dreds of pounds of him, at 7 cents a pound. The prevailing retail price is 15 cents. Scores of people, the attend ants observed, who purchased black cod Monday were first at the counter yesterday, clamoring for more and de claring that It was fine fried, boiled, broiled or baked. Farmers Come for Flstw Farmers who live a dosen miles aut In the country arrived with, jfunny sacks and the orders of their neighbors, purchasing several whole fish in many Instances. Hotel orders for 80 pounds and more were received. The four at tendants deftly sliced and weighed and clanged the cash register for hours before the purchasers showed any sign of abating. In addition to the popular black cod. there were several other varieties, for each of which the demand was- strong. Chicken halibut, which is the young ster of the halibut family, sold for IS cents, or 7 cents under the regular market price. lied snapper sold at 6 cents and ling cod likewise. Columbia Klver smelt was priced at 5 cents, or t cents under the market, while rock cod sold for 7 cents. Because many customers Inquired for Chinook salmon and silversides, these were added to the supply yesterday, and hundreds of pounds were sold. The finest Royal Chinook, red and firm, which sells at 2d cents on the market, was retailed for 16V4 cents, or at actual cost plus the expense of selling, ri verside salmon sold at 15 cents.

"PICKED JURIES" CHARGED President Davis, in Asking for Com mittee, Points Out That All Re cent Damage Suits Have Gone Against plaintiffs. At the meeting- of the Multnomah County Bar Association ast night, AV. M. (Pike) Davia, president of the Bar Association, introduced & motion ask ing for the authority to appoint a com mittee to investigate the selection and qualification of jurors drawn for Cir suit Court cases. In addressing- the members of the association Mr. Davis mentoined the fact that in no case for damages brought before a jury this month had a plaintiff been awarded damages. "The method used by the County Commissioners in selecting jurors in Multnomah County may be within the law," said Mr. Davis, "but when ex Judge McGinn alluded to hand-picked juries while he was on the bench, he certainly hit the nail on the head, and I am of the opinion that the same sit uation prevails today. The County Commissioners seem to think jurors must be picked from the permanent and substantial taxpayers of the city. In other words, a man must literally own a corner block in order to get on the jury. "Every other year you may see the same old faces on the jury, and it is safe to say that not more than one taxpayer in every ten sits on a jury in this county. Mr. Davis, as chairman of the jury committee of the Multnomah County Bar Association, explained the method of drawing the jury to the assembly last night. "Three girls are selected by the Com missioners to select the jurors," said Mr. Davis. "These men are not picked in alphabetical order, as in the past, but according to the amount of real estate they own." A new rate of charges for collections was also introduced at the meeting. and this will mean a considerable In crease over the former rate. STATE EXAMINER PIES C. S.
