PORTLAND MARKETS
Quotations in the Portland
Market
Complete Market Report! Corrected
Etch Day Giving the Wholeule
Pricei of Commodities, Farm
Produce, and Vegetable,
PORTLAND, May 22,-Thc straw
berry supply today was far from
iufticient to meet the requirements of
the trade, dealers generally reporting
inability to fill order. Bad weather
for sbmc day past has retarded ship
ment from the South, and Oregon
arc not yet ready for the market in a
large way. With a few days' of warm
weather bcrrie will be plentiful. To
day California were quoted at $1.40
to $1,90 a crate and Oregon! at IS
cent a pound.
There was a firmer feeling in the
potato market today, due to more
favorable reports from the South, but
no changes from the quotation of
yesterday were announced. Jobbers
are paying as high as 70 cents for
select offerings, but stocks of the
best are said to be pretty well
cleaned up.
Reports were of unusually light re
ceipts of eggs today, and quotations
on candled goods were raised a frac
tion at the Board of Trade. On Front
street the market was reported steady
and practically unchanged, with 19
cents the top price for the best cand
led stock. There is said to be but
little out-of-town demand for eggs
just now.

t Mrs. 5. Joyce. 180 Sullivan St.,
Claremont, N. H., writes: "About a
year ago I bought two bottle of
Foley's Kidney Cure. It cured me of
a severe case of Kidney trouble of
several years standing. It certainly
is a grand, good medicine, and I
heartily recommend it
How Colts Aro Put Through tho Grand
Morry-flo-rotmd.
He was a big black beauty of a colt
and Just as mean as be was handsome.
Bronc had never been thoroughly bro
ken by his former owner, and wben I
first saw him be was In the hands of
the beat horse breaker In camp, who
was putting the finishing touches tools
education.
"They called this pony a' outlaw
afore I took a-bolt of him," remarked
tho broncho twister. "Shucks! Now
adays ef a hoes bucks his caddie blan
kets oflfn him the boys say: 'Outlawl
Bad broncho! Guess I'll ride that old
boss over yonder.'
"I've sweated most of the ugliness
outen him a'ready," continued the
trainer. "He ain't got but one mean
habit left, an today I'm a-goln' to lam
him to fergit It" '
The mean bablt referred to was this:
Wben Bronc decided to go straight
ahead he'd go over rocks and down
the steep banks of a wash, through
cactus and tho well named cat's claw,
and If the chollas pricked him or the
curved claws of the brush snatched at
his flanks he - would throw in some
fancy bucking for good measure as he
tore along. But turn? Never!
The trainer took his rlata from the
saddle horn and tied one end to the
rope bridle or hackamore, fastening it
securely under the Jaw. Then he pet
ted the colt working toward its flanks,
until the animal allowed him to reach
the tall and fasten a loop of rope in its
heavy strands.
The free end of the rlata was passed
through the loop in a way which would
bring the horse's head and tall togeth
er when tightened, and by passing tho
rlata once more through both hacka
more and loop it was prevented from
slipping when released.
"Now fer the grand merry-go-round!"
announced the twister, and,
standing away from the colt's heels, he
pulled the rlata taut until the animal
was bent nearly double. "Keep turnin'
till I say you kin stop," be command
ed, and in fact the bewildered creature
was revolving like a top and painfully
learning the old lesson of his race that
man's will is law for the horse.
We sat in the shade of a mesqulte
watching him for twenty minutes or
so, wheu the broncho twister decided
that the stiff neck was sufficiently Um
ber. When he mounted he discovered
his error. The frightened horse danced
and bucked with htm and finally tried
to roll over the rider, who sprang from
the saddle Just in the nick of time.
But bis patience was by no means
exhausted.
"Here's a shore way to make 'em
limber," he announced, and, picking up
a large flat stone, he tapped the horse's
neck for a few minutes steadily, but
not with sufficient force to hurt him.
"He'll feel that perty soon an find it
easier to turn than brace his tender
neck agin the reins."
When the pony had been reversed
that is, tied head and tail on theoppe
slte side and allowed to rotate anoth
er half hour, he was dripping with
sweat and completely subdued. The
broncho twister mounted, and the colt
allowed himself to be ridden about the
flat until he tangled in his trailing
rlata and fell, the rider still on top.
"Now we'll turn him loose an' see
how be behaves hlsself," remarked the
trainer, and, unsllnglng the ropes, he
again mounted and rode the now tract
able horse In circles and figure eights,
wheeling and turning at will.
As the trainer concluded, "I'd a heap
sooner twist this critter's neck with a
rope than have him break his back an'
mine, too, over yonder cliff."
Which was the Justification tf
Bronc's hard lesson. Out West
Bad Attack of Dysentery Cured.
"An honored citizen' of this town
was suffering from a severe attack of
dysentery. He told a friend if he
could obtain a bottle of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem
edy, he felt confident of being cured,
he having used this remedy in the
West He was told that I kept it in
stock and lost no time in obtaining it,
and was promptly cured," says M. J.
Leach, druggist, of Wolcott, Vt. For
