potatoes, but they are of ery Inferior quality,
and since' the Oregons wore Introduced In thst
country there baa been as great demand for
the local product. The week shows consider
abb) dullness In the local potato' market. There
Is ronntderahla dlacnaalon as to what fsnry
.quality really consists, sll lsts shipments from
this market to tba aonth being classed as sec
ond grade wheat reacting their desttnatloa.
-Muring ths) week the potato shlppsrs formed a
combination for mutual protection agslnst tbeee
that woald practice fraud -la In .packing. It
'was 'screed among the dealers that so ether

' of about Ic a pound. rJhorts bars roeered sll
Immedlst requirements snd sre laying back re

rather trying on the nerres of the growers and
some of them are araln making; efforts - to
sell. A continuance of tlita action would bar
a eery bad affect apon the market and prices.
Just now the market la awaiting with a exeat
desl of Interest , to see whst Knslsnd hi going

In that direction there he been no 1st busi

the land agent has not succeeded in
closing a deal on any . waterfront land.
although several tracts are under con

city, the owners of waterfront property
at Camas and Washougal are anxious to
secure the railroad bridge and are 'not
holding their land at an enormous price.
While this land agent Is at work look

Onlsh up securing the right of way at
once and It la our honest Intention, In
that case, to have dirt flying by or before

couver council turn down our franchise
we will abandon the project so far as
that part of the line betweea this city
snd Proebstel Is concerned." "t
Manager Sugg stated that Ti la not
yet ready to make publlo the plana of his
company, further than to state that If
the Vancouver council will not grant
