One of the greatest declines ever
nown in cereals la this market was
made today when local mills cut the
price of roUed oats $1 a barrel This
decline comes at a time, too, when the
supplies of oats are quite small.

Portland Union Stockyards, Feb. 12.
Of all tha markets Quoted In the local
yards, cattle are ' snowing much the
best tone, although of course there is
considerable firmness in sheep. Re
ceipts of cattle are still quite small and
it is this fact that is dally addlna
strength to the quoted values. All sorts
of cattle are finding the same good wel
come, but recent trading' shows the
greatest Improvement in the call for
steers. While there still remains a
very rood call for cows and heifers be
cause of tha lower prices than the best
grades, the call is not so much better
than steers. The trade Is now seem
ingly mors after well-flnlshod stuff than
for some time and there are reports
that a still higher price Is sometimes
obtained for something especially
choice.
Best steers are quoted firm at a
ranae Of 14.26 to 14.60. while cows and
hellers are $1 under this amount.
While no change is shown today In
values for hogs, the market Is rather
slow snd dull, with prices Just being
maintained on late arrivals. Packers
seem to want stuff as long as there Is
none coming, but as soon as hogs begin
to arrive the killers' wants are most
easily satisfied.
Only a nominal number of sheep ar
rived in the yards during the 24 hours
and that market retains a nominal tone
with prices showing no change. Sheep
are already so high that the wants of
the trade are very easily gratified, and
for this reason it Is not advisable to
shin too much stuff to market. I he
price limit seems to have been reached
lor tne present at least.
A yeas ago today all llnee of live
stock were quoted with a firm tone,
with values unabanged.

Frank Smith Meat Company Takes
Options on Additional Acres.
Portland's Importance as a livestock
center la dallv trrowlna greater and
many improvements aro noted In pack
ing circles. According to Frank L.
Smith, of the Smith Meat company, his
company has lately added much im
proved facilities to Its already well
equipped plant. The, Smith company
owns three acres on the St. Helens road
and It Is stated that options have beun
secured on other iroierty which will
allow the company to enlarge the facil
ities for handling stock.
There was a report that the Smith
company had In conjunction with an
other concern, leased land In south
Portland with which to erect new pack
Ing houses. "We already have a mod
ern plant in the northern part of the
city, says Frank Smith, "and at pres
ent we have surricient facilities to sup
ply the entire city with meat Our
plant has a capacity at present of 60
head each of cattle, hogs and sheep;
making a total capacity of 150 head.
We are not going to consolidate with
any other firm. We started this busi
ness on our own hook and Intend to
stick it out. Our plant Is sometimes
taxed to its capacity and we will prob
ably be forced to enlarge.lt soon."

LOOKS GOOD FOR
FULTON RATE BILL
George L. Hutchlns. manager of the
Rose Festival, addressed the United
East Side clubs last' night on festival
subjects and told what the committee
had arranged for tha east aide during
i no carnival week. Tha automobile Dir.
ade, a mardl graa festival Thursday
evening ana tne regatta, are all features
In which the east side will be able to
take an active part. These features
will be some of the most spectacular
ui m. entire week and Mr. liutcnins
said the committee believed that the
east aide would be grateful to them for
planning them as they had been planned.
The Idea of the east side clubs to build
arches was suggested nd Mr. Hutchlns
encouraged the clubs In the Idea. He
said the Portland Amateur Architects'
club would he willing to furnish any
number of designs for arches without
cost. Such an offer had been mads to
the festival committee by the club and
any east side club association wishing
to choose a design could do so by
applying to the committee. ArcTiea will
be erected along the line of march on
the east side by the clubs, the number
to be determined later as the plans are
Worked out.
As to rates Mr. Hutchlns said the
committee had a conference wlin Gen
eral Passenger Agent Cleland of the
Northern Pacific yesterday and he had !
promised apeciai rates to roriiana irom
as far east as New York. All the rail
road companies had promised that the
tourist rates to tne facino coast would
bo offered May 20 thia year on ac
count of the Portland Roae Festival in
stead of June 1 as usual, and this point
would be emphasised In all the literature
distributed in the eaat this spring.
The Immensity of the plans undertak
en by the committee are not realised
by the citizens said Mr. Hutchlns. As
one feature of one parade he told about
the cherry blossom festival that the
Japanese of the Pacific coast will re
produce. Its cost will be between $10.
000 and $20,000 and the Japanese of the
entire coast are assisting both with
their money and their service a
It was suggested mat tne east siae
clubs put out every inducement to
draw the 100,000 eastern visitors that
will be here to the east side; that they
Mra automobiles, distribute car tickets
and offer prises for the best decorated
blocks so that people would be kept
busy hurrying to different sections of
the east side to see all the pretty and
attractive things.
The cluba will act on the Ideas sug
gested and will decide within a few
weeks what they will do. The cost of
building arches and of lighting them and
the cost of all the suggestions proposed
will be determined before any action
will be taken..
ACH FIGHTING

Abe Ruefs Lawyer Will
Stave Off Actual Trial
for Months.

BILIJOJEIIATE
Reported at 480 Acres for
Single EntryHouse May
Cut It to 320 Acres.
(United Pru U.wd Wire.)
San Francisco, Feb. 12. Armed with
scores of technical objections and pre
pared to stave off for months the actual
trial of Aie Ruef on the indictment
charging tha former boss with bribing
Jennings Phillips, a member of the boo
dle board of supervisors, to vote for the
overhead trolley franchise Attorney
Henry Ach, leading counsel for Ruef,
resumed Ills obstructive tactics In Judge
Lawlor's court this morning.
Ruef was not In court when the
bailiff rapper) for order. Ach opened
proceedings with an elaborate defense
of tha right of a defendant to make use
of all available technicalities.
Ha auoted from a decision or the ap
pellate court, in which the law of tech
nicalities was declared to act aa a bar
rier between the defendant End public
clamor.
The different steps of the arraignment
of Ruef' war then taken up by Ach.
who vehemently declared that no one
of the chapters of arraignment was
leral. that Ruef had not Deen given an
opportunity to secure counsel at that
time, that th Indictment had never been
read to him and that ha had not been
given a copy of the -Indictment at the
time.
"Maybe the private prosecutors. In
the middle of the night, soma months
after, gave this defendant soma papers
alleged to Be copies of the indictment,
but they were not true copies," declared
Ach.
Much stress was laid on tha fact that
Ruef had rested under tha belief that
he was immune from punishment by
reason of the Immunity contract entered
into wltn District Attorney Langdon
Even If his mute consent to the ar
raignment acted as a waiver, it was
contended that such action could not be
held binding. His condition, said Ach,
as far as acting upon vital matters, was
compared to that of a minor or a feeble
minded person. '
