Eggs
to Be More Plentiful on
Market Today.
GOOD APPLES AVAILABLE
Purchases of Potatoes Only in
Small Lots Advocated Because
. of Frost Danger.
The supply of vegetables and
winter produce on the public market
today probably will be the largest in
the last two weeks, although cold
weather conditions will prevent It
reaching the normal volume, accord
Ing to Market Master Eastman. Eggs,
which have been curtailed In all
places by cold, will be more plentiful
tomorrow on the market than ab any
time since the cold spell began.
The variety of winter vegetables
has been somewhat limited, owing to
the late winter season, and cold
weather has hindered the preparation
for market of those still in the field
and those stored.
Small Pnrchs.es Advocated.
Mr. Eastman warned against the
purchase of, potatoes In anything but
small quantities for the next few
days. Frost damage, which makes
potatoes practically unfit for use,
j.robahly will not show for a day or
two, until they are thoroughly thawed
out. In many cases the farmers them
selves cannot tell that their product
has been injured. Potatoes are hold
ing on the market at 11 pounds for
25 cents for good grade. Rutabagas,
parsnips and carrots are selling at
four pounds for 15 cents. Some cab
bage is still on the street, but frost
damage anl the lateness of the sea
son have lowered the quality.
Kkks 39 Cents Today.
Eggs will be at the 33-cent level
today, seven cents above the market
of a few days ago. A decline Is ex
pected as soon as warmer weather
'ineds up the egg output. The low

fsABIRIA," one of the greatest
I . spectacular productions ever
made, opens at the Peoples
theater today. This picture was first
shown in this country In 1914. In its
present revival It is being presented
in all parts of the United States and
la meeting with the same favor that
marked its first Showing.
"Cabirla" was made in Italy. Gabri
ele d'Annunzlo, the poet-soldier, wrote
the scenario, supervised the settings
and directed the majority of the
scenes. The fact that the picture still
is drawing crowds after seven years
speaks well for the general excellence
of the production.
It serves to remind the public that
spectacular pictures are not a devel
opment of the last few years. A vol
cano in eruption Is one of the first
effects presented and there follow the
destruction of a fleet and the clash
of rival armies to furnish additional
thrills.
The picture Is said to be correct his
torically and D'Annunzlo, to 'achieve
this result, spent much time in prepa
ration and nearly two years In mak
ing the picture. The mode of fighting
in ancient days Is particularly well
presented, It is stated.
Cabirla is founded on the struggle
of Rome and Carthage for old-world
supremacy. The story deals wla Ca-
blria, a young girl, who is homeless
after the eruption of Vesuvius. Fate
throws her into the hands of the Car
thaginians, where she Is saved from
the sacrificial altar by Maciste. a
giant slave, who is with his master on
a secret mission from Rome. Maciste
rescues Cabirla. but Is sentenced to
! life Imprisonment, chained to a mill
stone. The entrance of the victorious
Roman army at an auspicious moment
furnishes an exciting cl max.
Screen Gossip.
Those who have read "Fanny Her
self." Edna Ferber's story of big
moments in the lives of simple peo
ple, will particularly enjoy "No
Woman -Knows," which will be the
attraction at the Blue Mouse theater
for only one week, starting today.
The story concerns a young girl, who
risks her own happiness in order to
give greater comfort to her brother.
The picture is said to be interesting
because of its sincerity and dramatic
force. "No Woman Knows" is the
second big production to come from
the producers of Priscilla Dean's re
cent success, "Conflict"
"The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari."
European impressionistic mystery
picture, which was presented at the
Star theater for two days this week,
will come back to the Star next
Saturday for an extended showing.
This picture was withdrawn to allow
minor changes, has been revised and
is now ready for showing.
Betty Compson. who Is rapidly
becoming one of Portland's screen
favorites, is to follow Jackie Coogan
as the feature attraction at the Lib
erty. "The Law and the Woman" is
the name of her latest vehicle. Miss

TIMBER TRACT HELD HIGH
$280,000 Declared Too Much to
Pay for Quarter Section.
MARSHFIELD. Or., Jan. 20. (Spe
1al.) Interest haa been aroused here
by the price asked by the owner o
a quarter section of timber on the
Coquil'.e river which has 10.000,000
feet of white cedar on It. The tenta
tive price was set at 2260,000, but
lumber manufacturers and others say
the price is entirely out of propor
tion to what a lumberman could
realize if the property was logged
and sawed into lumber.
Those who profess to know say
that $100,000 would be a big price for
the tract, although it lies in a posl
tion which would- permit its being
logged cheaply. Another tract on
South slough, containing half a sec
tion. Is held at $127,000. This timber
is said to be 30 per cent white cedar.
High prices of timber land, as
realised In returns to the owner for
stumpage, were thought to have
reached the top here during the war,
when Frank Boutin is said to have
received that much for one or two

SHORT LEAVES PROPOSED
POLICE AXD FIHEMEX TO GET
RELIEF BY ORDINANCE.
Plan Contemplates System That
Will Enable Eliglbles to
Earn Money for Food.
A plan for the relief of ex-service
men and others on the lists of eligl
bles to the police and fire depart
ments will be embodied In an ordi
nance by the city council next
Wednesday, Mayor Baker auuounced
yesterday.
' The plan in view, sponsored by
Thomas A. Sweeney, chairman of the
land committee of the American le
gion, probably will provide four or
five days' work a month to men on
the eligible list by allowing members
of the departments to take time off
from duty without affecting their
rights of priority and pay. An ordi
nance will be drawn authorizing the
proper commissioner to grant short
leaves of absence to policemen and
firemen who make voluntary applica
tion. Under the present regulations,
a man absent from his duties without
good cause forfeits certain pay in
creases and mars his record.
"The idea for this plan of relief
came from a chance remark by a
member of the fire department, who
later proved to have expressed the
sentiment of many of .hls fellow
workers." said Major Sweeney. "This
man told me thaP he would like to
'lay off work for a day, but didn't
want to impair his service record. Un
der thd terms of the ordinance we
propose a man may take a few days
off each month and some worthy el
igible who needs the money desper
ately will be enabled to get money to
buy food. There are 101 men on the
fire department list and 90 per .cent
of these are ex-service men."
Mayor Baker said that he had con
ferred with members of the council
on the suggestion and felt sure the
proposed ordinance would be passed.
