TIIE SUNDAY OJtEGOXIAX. TOKTLAXD, NOVEMBER 8, 190S. 10 NOVEMBER WHEAT M cmtc nrri jiiirmuiiu uLQiii British Ship Wynnstay Takes Full Cargo for United Kingdom. MARKET IS FALLING OFF Export. Foreign, for This Month ' Will Be Short m-lioonor Cres cent Takes Lumber for Guay mas Mei. Marine Notes. November shipments of grain, for eign, opened yenterday -with the clear ance of the British ehip Wynnstay, Captain Williams, for the United King dom with 90.377 bushels of wheat, val ued at JS5.860. The vessel is outbound for orders and Is the first one on the list for November exports of wheat. The regular Pacific liner Nieomedla got away the second day of the month with upwards of 62.000 barrels of flour. There has been a considerable falling off in the grain shipments since Octo ber. This is largely due to the fact that prices are lower in Liverpool and Iindon than in Chicago and also to the extraordinary amount set afloat during October. During that month ships were loaded and cleared as fast as they were ready. Offshore lumber business opened with the clearance of the schooner Crescent, which is loaded with 1.701.698 feet, bound for Guyamaa, Mexico. There has been a great falling oft in this busi ness of late but the coastwise business has been picking up and there is a bright outlook for good lumber trade to California during the vnext six months. C Jollve, of the French ship-broking firm of C. Farvacque & Company, has returned to Portland from San Fran cisco. Mr. Jollve reports shipping con ditions at the Bay City as practically the same as at Portland. There is still for shipment in California about 120, 000 tons of barley and charters have been made for only about five or six cargoes. He looks for a revival in charters to California ports shortly. In that case there will be a brightening of the local market. KATE WAR OX TO ORIENT Japanese Line Will Reduce Freight Kates 1 7 Per Cent. VICTORIA, B. C. Nov. 1.

If the woman did not get a divorce In some way before marrying the Danish nobleman, then she is liable to prosecution. i..e divorce was granted on the grounds that the woman was of a most jealous nature, that she treated Collins in a cruel manner and that ehe did not take proper care of their 4-year-old child. The ''royal" pair escaped prose cution at St. Louis only because the drummer wouldn't wait to prosecute the case, as stated In Friday's dis patches on the subject. FEES MAY BE FORFEITED Justices. Vnder Law, Cannot Keep Receipts From Marriages. Attention has been called of the County Commissioners and County Auditor to the fact that under the statutes all justices of the peace must turn in money received In marriage fees. In the event it is decided to force payment of such fees received in the past and not turned in, a sum aggre gating several hundred dollars would be secured, Mr. Brandes believes. Money could be collected for a period extending back as far as the statute of limitations would permit, some six years. Justices of the Peace Bell and Olson would have to produce substan tial sums, as would ex-Justices Reid and Seton and District Attorney Cam eron, for the period he was Municipal Judge. The sum it is possible to collect In fees for each marriage is $5 and in many instances the magistrates have done tne work for much less.

CAREER MAY BE BLIGHTED C. M. Idlenian Declares That Iad Who Killed George DeMars Had Bright Prospects! and Good Reputation. Application for the arrest of Judg ment and motion for a newr trial have been filed with the State Circuit Court in behalf of Jackson Reid. the 12-year-old boy who was convicted by a jury, Thursday, of being delinquent because of shooting George De Mars at the Ex position grounds last August. Every effort is to be made to save the lad from confinement in the State Re form School, the penalty that applies to his case if the jury's verdict is allowed to stand. . It is being contended that such action will blight what promises to be a bright future for the boy, as arrangements had been made to send him to his grandmother, Mrs. C. A. Reed, at Chattanooga, Tenn.. where his education was to be provided for. It had been planned to send him to college when he had finished high school at Chattanooga. Says Verdict Was Unjust. The motion for a new trial and for arrest of Judgment will be heard be fore Circuit Judge Gantenbein on Wed nesday. C. M. Idleman. attorney Tor the boy, says that the verdict cannot stand, as W was clearly outside the evidence. And in addition, the boy was never; in dicted by grand jury, whereas the new amendment to the state constitution provides that indictment by grand jury is necessary. "The Jurors, In returning their ver dict, did so in order that the boy might be held under the jurisdiction of the Juvenile Court." said Mr. Idleman, in discussing the case yesterday. "I have talked with two of them and they told me that they did not think the boy a bad boy. but felt he was surrounded by bad influences on Government Island at the Exposition grounds, where he lives with his mother and stepfather. The verdict these jurors handed . down says 'guilty as charged." and that practically brands the boy as a murderer. He is charged in the Iiistrlct Attorney's in formation with being a delinquent be cause of having shot and killed George De Mars, the crime being designated as murder in the first degree." DeMars ltunning Toward Boy. The testimony In the case clearly showed that Ie Mars was running to ward the boy when the fatal shot was fired. And while the boy should not have been allowed to handle a gun, so It is admitted by all parties concerned, yet he was trying to defend himself and did not have vicious intentions. A number of letters have been re ceived by Mr. Idleman showing the good reputation which the Reid boy had at Chattanooga. Letters from United States senators H. Clay Evans and J. B. Frazler. County Judge Seth M. Walker. Rev. J. W. Bachman. Major C. R. Evans and other prominent Chat tanooga people speak of the boy in the highest terms. The Relds came here from that place three years ago. As in Portland. Jackson Reid attended Sun day school there and was studious and well-behaved at school. His father died five days after arriving in Port land and the mother remarried. The boy's grandmother, on his mother's side, Mrs. C. A. Reed. Is spoken of in the communications referred to as a lead ing woman of Chattanooga. She has written here stating her' willingness to take charge of the boy. Acquitted of Assault Charge. J. A. Hogan, a man of 55 residing at Sellwood, was acquitted of a charge of assaulting 5-year-old Irene Richardson, when the case was heard before- a Cir cuit Court jury, yesterday afternoon. The child identified him as her assailant but Hogan set up an alibi, proving by three men that he was carousing in a saloon at the time the assault occurred. Prize Vegetables at Montesano.

THE PORTLAND PUBLIC MARKET The breaking of ground for this building marks the beginning of a new era for the people of Portland in the matter of the purchase of household supplies. It likewise means greater opportunities for dealers in the various lines. The experience of other cities shows conclusively that such institutions have become almost public necessities, and that where properly conducted are uniformly successful enterprises. .... . In the neighboring city of Seattle a Public Market was opened less than one year ago, and one has only to see how it. is now continually crowded . with patrons, and to learn that stall space is already at a premium, to be convinced that such an institution is not only needed in Portland, but that it will be an unqualified success. The Seattle Market occupies a remodeled and incommodious building, which, moreover, is located in a place not easily accessible from all points, while the new Portland Market will be in a modern, commodious, fireproof building erected, for the special purpose and after the most approved plans, and will be located where it can be easily reached from everywhere. It will cover the block bounded by Fifth, Sixth, Glisan and Hoyt streets. The basement will contain 800,000 cubic feet of space and will be devoted to cold storage. The first floor will comprise 208 stalls, all to be occupied by dealers in pro visions. The second story Arcade, which will be reached by moving stairways, will be arranged for the handling of all kinds of household supplies, other than eat ables proper, and this feature will further appeal to all housewives and to deal ers in all additional lines as well. Detailed information may be had at the offices of the company and reserva tions of space may now be made. Although a large number of stalls have been, taken, many good" locations may yet be had if applied for at once. PORTLAND PUBLIC MARKET iD COLD STORAGE CO. HERBERT BOOTH KING 4 GENERAL MANAGER .
