"Dear Sir: I am informed that the

return to the adjutant-general 625

nor through the adjutant-general.
"I have directed the commanding offi
cer to allow the officers and members
01 tne .Multnomah guard to take their
uniforms used by them during the past
year to their homes as mementoes of
their services while members of the
guard. The side arms being Jointly
owned by Multnomah county and the
city, will be held by me until disposed

FRUIT PROSpIcTS BRIGHT
Eugene Growers' Association Pre
pares for Heuvy Cannery Bun.
EUGENE. Or., March 23. (Special.)
The outlook for a large fruit yield in
Lane county has not been brighter for
years than this season, says J. O. Holt,
manager of the Eugene Fruit Growers'
association, who has been over the
greater part of the fruit belt in this
county during the past week.
Jlr. Holt saye that the cold weather
durins the past two" months has kent
the buds back so that late frosts will
cause no injury, and that the frosts of
the past few days have done no harm,
but that the warm weather of the past
few days has hastened appearance of
the blossoms.
Srr. Holt said the new buildines to be
erected by the association to add to
the facilities of the cannery owned and
operated by the association will be
taxed to their capacity on account of
the Increased yield in fruits. Work
was started yesterday on the finst unit
of the new canning plant.

YAKIMA WOOLS IV KTNE CONDITION
Growers Are Anxious to 3lake Sales at Fair
Prices.
The Yakima wool market is opening up in
good shape, and shearing has commenced in
all parts of the valley, according to Coffin
Brothers, large wool growers of that sec
tion. The sheep having been well fed and
cared for during the winter, the wools are
in fine condition with extra long staple and
very clean.-
Few sales except in small farm lots have
yet been made, but growers are anxious to
sell and are willing to take a little less
than the government upset prices. Mr. Glsh,

COAST AND EASTERN DAIRY PRODUCE
Butter Market Conditions at .Leading Dis
N tribation Points.
Eastern and San Francisco trade reports
received by wire yesterday at the local of
fice of Uie Bureau of Markets:
San Francisco Prices declined another
cent today, with trading largely confined
to local exchanges. Some falling off In lo
cal consumption is reported, which is af
fecting somewhat the movement of goods.
A number of inquiries from the outside are
reported, which will probably result in the
sale of considerable butter for boats leaving
tomorrow. Receipts yesterday amounted
to S9.9J3 pounds. Street stocks were nearly
14,000 pounds heavier this morning; 93-score,
50 cents.
Chicago An unsettled and weak market
rules here today. Considerable difference
of opinion is noted among dealers. Con
sumptive demands have undoubtedly fallen
off seriously in the past two weeks, and this,
together with the break in prices, has caused
buyers to stay off the market almost en
tirely, depressing the situation still fur
ther. However, no serious accumulation is
apparent as yet, and receipts, while a trifle
more liberal, are not at all heavy. Cars of
centralized are short and selling readily at
quoted values. More centralized is being
delivered to this market in small lots in
order to reach a quick sale. Receipts to
day were 9509 tubs; 92-score, 62 cents.

KLAMATH FALLS, Or., March 25. (Spe

have dried the ground. Many farmers are
working in the fields. The heavy rains dur
ing February and the first weeks of March
have put the soil in better condition than
at anv time for several years back and the
crop prospects of Klamath county, both for
the dry land farmer and his neighbor under
Irrigation are very bright.
Many of the farmers are investing in
small tractors, finding that this method is
very practical here where the working sea
