SPUDS LOOK BETTER
Bulk of Oregons Now Coming
Show Fair Quality.
MARKET EASIER IN TONE
Movement of New California North
ward D ra w i n z to Close Trade
From Now On Will Depend
on Home-Grown Stock.
The movement of new California potatoes
to tho Ores-oa market U drawing to a closo.
Broker say that a few carlo da are yet to
bo brought In. but from now on the trade
will In tho main depend upon tho products
t this state. Up to this time new Ore
coos coming- la hare for tho most part been
too Immature to soli readily In competition
with the bast California stock, bat the
latest arrivals show decided Improvement
In that respect, and from now on too
chances are that tho balk of tho home
4rown offerings will bo fairly well matured.
For tho time fancy California are selling;
to tho trade at IS-iO to 13.73 a hundred,
bat tho market, as a consequence of the
Improvement In tho quality of tho Oregons
now coming, is conceded to bo easy In tone.
Tho best home-grown stock now available
la quoted at S3.S3 to 3-S0, prices not far
from the present range on southern spuds.
Crop prospects still show considerable va
riance In different parts of tho Coast country-
and estimates therefore are subject to
revision with tho developments of the Fall
season. In soma of tho Irrigated districts
tho outlook la for a yield per aero not far
from tho normal, but tho acreage planted
this year la said to bo somewhat under tho
average for recent year. Tho aggregate
yield will In all probability be a good deal
under that of last year.
In tho Willamette Valley It la understood
that tho yield baa been cut down much by
tho absence of rain during tho growing sea
son. Many fields are reported to bo matur
ing with- tho tubers only about half grown,
which will mean light crops where such
conditions prevail. East of tho Cascades
there will probably b a fair to average
oat pot.
Tho price rango for tho Fall and Winter
months Is altogether a matter of specula'
tton. but at this time. In view of tho nn
favorable outlook In some sections, there
seems to bo small danger of anything like
tho ruinously lew prices that ruled at tlmee
last season. Dealers say there la every as
surance for tho farmers of at least fair
prices for quality potatoes.

TOMATO MARKET TRIFLE FIRMER
Moderate Supplies sad Ceoe. Demand Tend
to Keep Prices Cp.
Dealers yesterday reported tomatoes hold
ing their own in good shape. Receipts for
tho day totaled about 400 boxes from various
quarters. The demand waa good and tho
market appeared to bo a shade stronger
than for some days past. Tho stock offered
for the moat part showed fair to good qual
ity. There were few Caltfornlas In sight.
Ore irons, ripe, sold generally at $1 to $1.23.
while select stock In some caaea brought as
high aa $1.50.
A report from tho Bureau of Crop Es
timates says of conditions In California:
Southern section Tho early crop for ship
ping In Lea Angeles County la reported as
light this year. Worms reduced the volume
of shipping stock about SO per cent In cer
tain districts where Earllanas are pro
nounced. The crop of the Stone variety Is
generally considered larger, of better quality,
and earlier than last year. Some districts
will begin shipping Stones the first part of
August, while others will not bo roeady antll
much later. Curly leaf has appeared la car
tain fields. Considerable damage In San
Fernando Valley by blight haa destroyed
snany plants and some fields. Tho Increase
la tho acreage of the Fall crop la estimated
to bo $0 per cent.
Central section The prospects for good
yields of tomatoes are not generally fa
vorable. Tho deficiency of moisture In cer
tain districts of Alameda. Sonoma. Sacra
mento. Santa Clara and other counties gave
the plants a poor start and serious de
velopment of diseases subsequently affected
crops. The damage In San Lorens district
of Alameda County Is particularly severe,
many flelda being a total loss. Injury Is
also reported around Hayward and parts of
Santa Clara County. No evidence of blight
er fuaarlum haa appeared In tho Manteca dis
trict of Joaquin County and the crop Is
reported la excellent condition. Horn worms
have done some damage In this district.
Tomato frnlt worm ia doing no serious In
jury in this part of the state yet.

California Protection Board Now Safeguards

BAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 6. "The Cali

of ths State Cattla Protection Board today,
and to prove this statement ho cited the
fact that of the 15.000 cattle branda filed
In this office here more symbols of ths
heart have been chosen than any other
sign.
I: Is expected that 30.000 different brands
to designate cattle ownership In this state
will have been filed by ths end of the year.
Tho symbols submitted not only give proof
of tho cowman's sentimental nature, cele
brated In song and story, but show a re
markable Ingenuity. Newsom said. In ad
dition to thouaanda of different combinations
of letters, numerate, bars, squares, diamonds
and other conventional design, many other
signs are adopted. Next to the heart sign
the horseshoe Is the most popular.
Tho "lazy" letter. In a horizontal or re
clining position. Is common. Variations of
tho signs are the "running. "rolling" or
"flying" letters. Included la the last are
several hundred old-tlms Mexican symbols.

IDAHO PLAN WOULD RADICALLY

Chanse Would Brlnp; AH Sections Into
Harmonloua Groups From CU
matlc Standpoint.
BOISE, Idaho, Aug. 6. (Special.) A
plan is proposed for the re-arrangement
of the boundary lines of the three
states of Idaho, Oregon and Washing
ton, so that the more geographical fea
tures of the three states may be taken
advantage of. Such a step would re
quire the sanction of the Legislatures
of the three states Involved and also
that of Congress.
Under this plan Oregon's boundary
lines would be so changed as to form
that state out of the present western
portion and the western portion of
Washington. This would make It a
coastal state giving it the Puget Sound
country including the cities of Seattle,
Tacoma and the present capital of
Washington, Olympia.
Washington would be formed out of
the eastern portion, of the present state
and the northern or panhandle section
6f Idaho. Idaho would include all (if
the present portion or southern part of
the state below the Salmon River and
the vast eastern empire of Oregon.
From a climatic standpoint, this pro
posed division would bring all sections
of the three states into harmonious
groups.
