Record prices have gain been reached
by the spring chicken market. For real
broilers and fryers, the price atands
between 4.008.00 a dosen, which prac
tically means 30 to 40o a pound. The
ordinary run of small chicks some
times called broilers and fryers weigh
ing about two pounda, are now being
-outfit at 18 to 20o a pound. Supplies
of spring chickens are very light. Borne
shipments are being made In this di
rection from California because of the
unusual high prices now ruling In the
Portland market. For ordlnanry chick
ens the market In steady at the prices
printed by The Journal during the past
week. Geese are not being sought, and
when they arrive, show a dragging dis
position. Clean Eggs at 80 Cents.
The egg market Is showing a disposi
tion to weaken on every occasion of
fered. Today one of tho largest hand
lers of ranch Btock on the street cleaned
up the supplies at 20c a dosen and was
very eager to let go at this figure. Oth
ers were generally selling around the
same figure, although once In awnne
there was talk of 21c being squeeied
by those who receive but few shipments
and can always place ono ui
above the market.
Salmon Market Is Xrfwer,
POULTRY TONE QUITE
GOOD AND STEADY
, " "
"There la a good and steady
tone In the local chicken market.
While recelpta have been quite
good, there haa been sufficient
demand to keep the market In
good shape and prloea have been
generally maintained.
"It la hard to say what Is
going to happen in eggs, but
durisg recent days a lower
range haa been ruling with
much larger receipts." W. H.

JAPANESE ONIONS
INVADING THE COAST
As was predicted by The
Journal over a month ago, Jap
anese onions have made their
appearance in the Pacific coast
markets. McKlnley Mitchell,
who has Just returned from a
trip to California, says the Japs
are already in San Francisco
and are in fine condition.
The Japanese Steamer which
is due today from Puget sound
has on board a large-sized ship
ment of Oriental onions which
have been consigned to various
dealers there. While none have
been, ordered here so far as
known. It is quite likely that
shipments will bo made In this
direction too.

Salem. Or., Feb. 24. The state
grangers today filed arguments against
the "free pass" bill and the appropria
tion of" 125,000 for four years for the
establishment of armories throughout
the state.
The grangers assert that the only
active serriee to which the militia
Is ever called Is . to settle differences
between large corporations and their
employes, and that the former evade
in every possible manner the navment
of their taxes; that the Pacific Tele
phono company and powerful interests
are trying to overthrow the cross
earning tax law passed at the last elec
tion; also that additional necessary
endless appropriations to install arm
ories over tha state would' result In
