BNNT change comes In handy these
ays and when a housewife can
ve the coppers by the tens and
twenties it pays to shoulder a shopping
basket and scour around among the
stalls in the public market on Yamhill
street early In the morning. High
though some prices are, a careful pur
chaser may find a number of real
bargains along the line.
Yesterday, for instance, when big cu
cumbers were averaging from two for 5
cents to 6 cents apiece, a woman had
stacked up a quantity of fine, large
onea she was disposing of at 1 cent
apiece.
The only canning fruits in are black

but this is too early in the season to
buy freestones economically for can
ning purposes. In about 10 days the
prices will be much lower.
An echo of the strawberry season
was to be seen in one of the stalls.
where a few boxes of small berries
were going at two for 25 cents.
Although about the cheapest good
tomatoes may be had at 10 cents
pound, a few fair appearing ones were
on display at two for 15 cents yester
day.
Green peppers are now on hand in
great stacks and are, as a rule, bring
ing 13 cents, the top price. However,
the housewife may easily find some of
apparently the same quality at 10 cents.
There are lettuce heads and lettuce
heads, and they all look good. In fact
the only difference seems to be in the
size. The small apartment house cook
may find heads at two for a nickel
that will supply a delicious tit of salad
for friend husband and herself. The top
price for larger ones is 3 cents, but
there are plenty to be found for 6 cents

Eggs, which were ba cents a dozen on
Thursday, were at 53 yesterday and will
probably remain at this mark over the
week-end. having declined 4 cents dur-
ng the week, very few of them are
to be found in the public market and
all are being sold at tne maximum
price.
Potatoes range from seven and eight
pounds for a dime to 2H cents a pound.
The former are small, but of the. same
quality and Just the thing to boil with
Jackets on.
If you are lucky in your choice of
corn you will find it at 15 cents a
dozen, although big ears are selling up
to 35 cents. Thos' at the former price
are small, but full and sweet.
Good apples may be had at 5 cents a
pound, but there are a number of small
ones at three pounds for 10 cents and a
few that are excellent for cooking at
1 cents.
Saturday is always the big day for
eggs, butter and poultry. Hens are now
32 cents a pound and fryers 36 cents.
Beans threatened to disappear en
tirely from Yamhill street yesterday
morning when canneries phoned in of'
f era to take them by the sack at 7
cents. Farmers, however, decided to
keep them in the stalls where 8 cents
and 15 cents for two pounds are being
asked.
Evergreen Berries Plentiful.
TOLEDO, Or., Aug. 15. (Special.)
An enormous crop of Evergreen black
berries will be harvested in Lincoln
county this year. The Elmore Fish
cannery on the Alsace bay and the To
ledo Canning company of Toledo are
the only local concerns to can black
berries this year, but a considerable
tonnage will likely be shipped to out
side canneries as usual. Both the El
more and Toledo canneries are making
a feature of canning string beans, a
considerable acreage having been plant
ed for each concern.

Schilling Tea is rich and

Fine tea costs less per

and preliminary surveys made on
almost the entire route with the excep
tion of the sector between Chitwood
and Toledo. Here two routes have
been proposed one by way of Simpson
creek, which is the present traveled
route, the other a proposed water grade
down the Yaquina river. The diffi
culty at present in connection with the
water grade seems to be the building
of a bridge at Toledo.
Work on the Toledo-Siletz road is
progressing nicely, a good portion of
the grading being done. It is expected
that they will begin moving Siletz
gravel onto the road next week.
The county court has purchased bet
ter than $17,000 worth of road ma
chinery this year.. Included in this
equipment is one Hall and one Federal
dumpbed gravel truck, two new Yuba
tractors, a couple of graders and much
miscellaneous equipment, such as fres
nos, slips and minor equipment. The
use of the tractors for grading as com
pared with the old method of horse
grading is more economical.

TACOMA, Wash., Aug. 15. (Special.)
In an effort to clear up the traffic

Tacoma council is having prepared an
ordinance to permit the construction of
parking stations on vacant lote. The
ordinance provides for corrugated Iron
