Malarkey, ' a larf local handler, ''tha advanoa ia not out 01 proportion. ina traaa in ovatara haa held wonderfully well all through the eummer. months and now that the regular oyater aeaaon naa opened the demand ia growing greater day by day. Personally I look for atill hlaher ericas In tha future. Tba eup- ply of what wa call native oyatara Uiympias ana onoawwer omj t; light and the chances ara that supplies will ba smaller than tha demand within a ahort time, even at advanced flgurea. Demand ia growing vary rapiaiy. Casters Oysters Ara Increasing. However, auppllea of eastern trans planted oysters ara increasing very rap Idly and I expect that when tha local oyatera ara shoved out of the way by tha former there will be a sufficient supply of eastern stock to take their place. Whlla the prica of local oysters ' advances i expect mat wiinio veara tha eastern transplanted will be- , coma cheaper. Tha transplanted oyater Is taking the marker because or its much better quality, and la therefore van cutting aown tne s&ica 01 regu lar eastern oysters on the coast to a very small amount." galmoa Cornea Prom Ysouln Bay ' A large part of the .fresh salmon now being used In this market is oeing re calvad from Yaoulna bay. Pome sup piles ara likewise being received from Bhoulwater bay and Oraya Harbor. At cresent chlnooks are coining from Ya qulna, but there will likely soon ba a run of sllveraldes. The situation at Taaulna bay ia aald to ba a queer one. Fish handlers say there la no closed season on the bay, the laws being ao Jumbled that the cloaed aeaaon haa been lost sight of. However, there is only a short time when salmon appear in the bay, most of tha run being in Au gust and September. Front Street Buslneas XJxpanda. Bualness along Front street in the ' commission district is expanding at a lively Tate. New nrma are opening up for trade almost every week and prac tically in all cases there is a sufficient volume of trade for all. The latest , one to aak for trade is the Buchanan- . Behrens company. Tha firm is com posed of J. P. Buchanan and Mr. Beh rens. Mr. Buchanan was, up to a short " time ago, leading salesman with Toft A Co., so is well acquainted with the i trade. Mr. Behrens was formerly with the W. B. Glafke company and lately with Gas A Co. The Arm has taken quarters at the stand occupied by Oaze A Co. when the latter firm moved into larger quarters up town. Zggs Ara Quoted Tery nrm.

The European markets are the best in many yeara and roreignera are heavy buyers of American wheat at this time. Export business is increas ing locally; the hlghar prices paid for grain bringing out I much larger lots than formerly. Local flour is firmer ss a result of the heavier buying. Export business Is heavier and the advanced pricea ara drawing much closer. Hav market tone is firmer on ac oount of the very small arrivals due to the press of farm work.

George Fornwald. substitute mail car rier, Bloomsburg, owns a cat which, strange to aay, will not catch a mouse, but spends its time in the yards hunt ing for garter snakes. The cat so far thia season haa caught three snakes and brought them to the house, and after laying a snake down on the porch it goes back again in the yard to hunt for more. Two of the snakes the cat has brought were cap tured in one day, while the other was caught a day later. These three are the onlv ones Mr. Fornwald haa seen yet some of the neighbors say they of ten see the cat with a snake in its mouth. Whether or not the animal would tackle anything larger than a garter snake is hard to tell, yet from the fight it puts up when It gets hold of one of these smaller species It is evident that it would probably be able to get away with a larger one. The snake killing cat Is not very large and Is still nothing more than a kitten. On of the most aggravated cases of cruey to animals ever coming to the attention of the authorities was discov ered this morning by Patrolman Colts at Third and Flanders street, whan he arrested Harry Bates, a teamster em ployed by tha Banfleld-Veyaey Fuel company, for driving a horse with a horrible suppurating sore on lta neck. The poor animal, one of two bays drawing a regulation "fuel trust" slab wood wagon. Buffered excruciating pain at every step from the collar cruelly rubbing the open wound, and as the re sult of the Inhumanity displayed a num ber of other arrests are to be mad in connection with tha case. Deputy City Attorney FiUgerald. who happened to be at the station at the time, expressed himself In no uncertain terms about the matter and advlaed Captain Moore to make Bates' ball at least izdo. ine teamster waa, nowever, finally released on $26 cash ball fur nished bv M. C. Banfleld. and warrants are now out for the foreman of the fuel company's stables and the superintend ent. M. C. Banflcld, Bates' employer, upon oomlnar to headauarters In response to a telephone message, declared that the teamster ana any or tne Darnmen wno knew of the animal's plight should be locked up and aeverely punished In the court "I cannot be on hand to inspect every horse In the morning, but had I known of this the animal would never have been put to work. Bates stated that ha had been driv ing the team for two weeks, and that the foreman and "barn boss'' knew of the matter. The prisoner declared that he was forced to drive the team, and that yesterday when the equine re fused to back up at the stable, owing to its sufferings, Mr. Veysey, one of the employers, took up a club and forced the animal to work. Banfleld, when Informed of this, stated that his nrtner would have to settle the trouble imself.' Cantaln Moore refused to allow the team to be moved from tn front of po lice headquarters until tbe "fuei trust" magnates had sent another horse to take the place of the disabled animal. The sora on the horse's neck is just where the upper portion of tha collar rests and la about four inches in diam eter. Pus waa flowing from the aore and gangrene appeared to have started.

This time there has been grab tn the sulphur business.

Per sonally, I am willing to take any Home bonds at par with 50 per cent stock bonus for all my balance in that institution, and I will guaran tee that at least two hundred thousand dollars ' more will be taken by other depositors on the same basis. Don't get worried about the Home Bonds. If the total deposits were in these securities I could pay everybody in full single handed. You cannot force the sale of Govern ment bonds or a choice piece of real estate in a minute's notice. Be prudent and patient, and reserve your judgment. The Home Bonds will more than hold up their end. Louis J. Wilde HOME TELEPHONE BONDS Cash Price Par, With 50 Per Cent Stock Home Bonds FACTS ARE Pew people outside of financial circlet know what public . utility bond is, butwere it not for these unit mortgages, , street car lines, tracs-continental railroads, gas, electric, water and power companies and every public utility now in use would hardly exist The telephone is not an unknown quantity and its bond issues 'arc quite as legitimate at any ". first mortgage secured by the asset's of either of the abort corporations or on a piece of real estate. This is strictly a business proposition and by this method of unit mortgages all progress in great undertakings is provided. , 3 TRUST COMPANIES ' Are akin to these transactions for it is a part of their legal ' right to buy, sell, exchange or underwrite part or entire bond issues. Portland has never been a bond center on account of Oregon's wonderful natural resources which offered such -other inducements to attract attention from aay. well-secured first mortgage bond carrying a low rate of interest offered , by various bond houses, therefore all public utilities and ' , municipal bond issues put out in this territory were pur chased and retailed by eastern banks and trust companies. Now there comes a time in the history of all cities when opportunities to GET RICH QUICK in lumber, milling mining or speculating ceases and the community get down ,. to looking for the steady income. Tis then the capitalist, -banker and home-builder looks to the responsible bond houses for the investments I am referring to. I hare sold to hundreds of banks and trust companies these and other ' bonds but Oregon is yet too full of play with its forests," mills and mines to look for a steady income for its savings,- ; and its financial students have expected too much earning power for their surplus funds, or to encourage bond selling! -in this community. They have also become rutty and rude, to the newcomer for advancing a market for its own municl- pal and public utility interest-bearing securities. I have no complaint to make, no excuses to offer. My business is to BUY AND SELL LEGITIMATE INTEREST-BEARING SECURITIES, or to act as agent for those who have same to offer, and no corporation was ever harmed by any sales I ever made them. I am sensitive to criticism of coarse; on the other hand, I am particularly grateful for your favor, and trust I have conducted myself in your city in such a manner that any attacks from those insanely jealous of my successes will be ridiculed. I am deeply grateful to many of the de , positors of the Oregon Trust & Savings Bank, to the public ' and to the press for their flattering endorsement of my -course and for their kind personal expressions.
