Mora Mixture In Butter Situation.
One city creamery adraaoad its natations on
beat butler today to 81c a pound. This wss
no,, txrsrever, the one that rstsed Its price, and
was sates gain tly forced to lower It to SUc again,
because all other creameries refused to go
higher. Butter supplies an much net Tier than
a weak ago. when the first attempt was made
ifo adraace to S-'ijc, but the creamery that made
ifhe rtra today clalnia It will he able to main
Ham the new figure. Of the altnatlon the ftun
Vt creamery aaya: "While our supplies of but
tar are not hoary, are bare more atorka on band
than when we adranced the prloe to S2Hc a
weak ago. This figure we could not maintain
Jhihinrrr all oii.cr cres merles saM supplies ware
too great." The I. 8. Townsend creamery saya
that It has no intention of advancing butter to
gUttc a pound today, because supplies are quite
liberal, and an advance la not Justified st thla
time. The Oregon creamery officials were of
' the opinion today that as advance In the price
fa X3Hc waa not Justifiable at this time, owing
to the nora liberal supplies, "front street is
full of batter." la the assertion made. Mr.
Moi tear n of the Hsaelwood company says "wi
tsBvanced creamery butter today to 2Sc be
eaoea we bellered that conditions Justify such
more. We did not make near as much butter
the past week as we did the previous week. anJ
II our supplies are cleaned up. I think there
n no doubt we will be able to maintain the
market at the higher figure." Along Front
'street the opinion la genersl that the butler
'market Is wesk Instead of showing s tendency to
rise. One handler says: "Supplies of cresmerr
.are much mora liberal owing to the greater
mount by the Increase In grass. Wa find
the market rather weak at the old prices. It hi
usually the rule to advance the price of butter
about the first of September, but lower It agaji
In October, when grass Is saoro plentiful. "
Igfl Showing Slight Weakness.
While no changes la quotations are shown to
day, the egg market la not quite so firm along
Front street, owing to the much heavier aup
Mit. t,.rn stock. Hssift has been sending
-is very heavy supplies of eastern stock, and
thla has been the decreasing feature in local
ranch stock. At the wide range rn values the
trade as taking to the eastern stock
There la nothlnc but dullness In the poultry
altnatlon. Baceinta are not heavy, but aa the
karate borers are full up on supplies It la hsrd
aa, naive anvthlnz over present nines.
Today there warn a good demand for small veal
of faarr uaallty. but larger arrivals of heavy
stses la causing the market to show only a fair
tone. Dressed Dogs in ueaana at we price.
Potato Outlook Is Suite Oood.
Receipts of potatoes are vary smsll. Digging
aerations era again on a very small scale, end
the trade Is eagerly purchasing at TB and Sftc
at country shipping points. Bam Broad us of
Wolf Bona of Sua Praaclseo. Who nss Just
returned to this city from a trip to the south,
says: "The California crops this season wilt
likely be about 85 per cent abort. The acreage
there waa quite fund. It being eettmsted that
8.800 acres arm pleated in the river section
this season, as sgaluat about 2. 000 acres a
year ago. Early thla season shout 2.000 seres
of the growing crop were washed fBt ttf TJU
high water. I expect the market to rule quite
firm thla sesson. with a range of about TB to
Or par hundred pounds at shipping points.
There will not likely he any eaaiern demand this
sassua. on account of the good crops In Wiscon
sin sad Minnesota. Colorado had a largo crop
this sesson. and will take care of southern Arl
ona and all of Trias, while California will only
he able to sat a part of northern Arl Bona. Wls
ssaaw and Mhaneaota wQl take care of all the
astern business offer est. If the dealers should
iililni bare we will bring oat Wl scon sin stock
Sa break It up.
"Than la no demand at all for Oregon onions
thus far that sesson in Callfornis, oaring to the
large crops there sad nearby sections. One Ore.

OREGON
Sentiment of the bualneaa community
of Portland la being crystsllsed in no
tion by the navigation and transporta
tion committees of tha chamber of com
merce on the jetty altuation. At a
meeting of the Joint committee yeater
day afternoon conditions were dlecuaaed
and a subcommittee, oompoaed of W. D,
Wheelwright, C. F. Adama. W. B. Ayer,
U A. Lewie and A. H. Devera, waa ap
pointed to formulate a plan of action
Mr. Wheelwright, who la chairman of
the Joint committee and tha subcom
mittee, said:
"About four and a half millions ef
dollara have been spent on tha Jetty
work, covering a period of nearly 38
yeara. This amount, had It been "ap
propriated In a manner admitting of tha
proper hastening of the work, would
have completed tha entire Jetty ayatem.
But given In driblets, meat of it hss
been frittered away. Of the laat $400.
000 appropriated by congress tha greater
part want merely to protect the work:
already dona, and little or JMO headway
has been accomplished from tt. Con
gressmen Jones and Ranadell tell us It
la not at all probable that an appropria
tion can be secured this year. That
would put tha next appropriation over
to tha session of 1807-8, which would
not be available for two years. Mean
time a large part of the unprotected
trestle will probably ba carried out by
the storms. .
"It la now up to thla community to
decide whether it will do aomethlng to
relieve thla, desperate altuation. or
whether the people will allow them
selves to be bottled up four or five
yeara longer, and perhaps forever.
A number of plans have been sug
gested, snd these will ba threshed out
by the subcommittee, which will ulti
mately present what It considers tha
bast plan of procedure.- A constant
struggle haa been carried on for years
by tha chamber of commerce to Induoe
congress tt) make tha jetty work a con
tinuing contract, and thua relieve tha
works from the continual danger of de
struction by tha seat. Preaaure to make
congress see the necessity Is being con
tinued and augmented. It Is also pro
posed to convince congress and tha Ben
ate that it Is necessary to tha Interests
of American commerce to have an an
nual appropriation of not laaa than 150,
000,000 to ba used In opening tha. na
tion's waterways and Improving harbors
to tha and that lower freight rataa may
prevail In varloua parts of tha country.

into tha resort.
Tha wily Lraa, who presides over tha
place, with a chuckle Informed hia cus
tomer that "Policeman Burke Juat In

stood by while "Brown" marked a lot
tery ticket and then placed all of those
present under arrest With Lee, Oum
Blng and tha clerk preceding him, Wag
ner marched tha trio to Jostlce Raid's
court. Lee waa released on $100 hail,
Blng was compelled to furnish $60 and
Brown put $36 to guarantee hia appear
ance In court. A large number of tick
ets snd money seised at tha time of the
arrests will ba held aa evidence against
tha trio.
Wagner hss declared hia Intention of
suppressing gambling In Chinatown Ir
respective of the sctlon of the police.
By conducting several aucceasful ralda
recently on places tha police either will
not or cannot enter, ha haa shown thst

gaming can ba a topped.
Following the publication today of
tha Chinaman's declaration that Burke

find any evidence of gambling. Chief
Giitsmajchar and Captain Bruin are
making s quiet investigation.
