lead Votatoea U Demand.
At thla writing there la a very fair
demand for eeod potatoes. A larger
per cent of the call la from the soutn
and the principal demand la for ear y
varieties. American Wonders are in
best request but for the Early Rose the
hicheat Drlce la being offered. For the
latter the price la 80fl90o f. o. t. thts

market cannot be aald to be strong, i no

gteedy Tone In Onion.
There Is a ateadler tone In the onloil
(market locally with the California mar
ket holding unchanged. While front
Istreet Is not buying any great quantity
or onions owing to me miner mm
upplies along that thoroughfare, nip
pers sre taking a few cars with the
price generally around $2.25.
There seems aome mystery regarding
the arrival of the Jap onions on the
sound, for quotations from there are
hard to get; In fact, local shippers have
been trying to obtain prices for sev
eral days without avail.
Batter Market Holds Stiff.
On account of the larger demand
there Is a rather stiff tone In the local
butter market. Creameries here report
the output fully up to tho supply and
few of them have any second grade
rresh stock for sale. This fact alono
shows the true strength of the present
knarket. Various prices continue to ruie
for ordinary outside butter, but the
best product Is holding rather well,
most of It being sold around city cream
ery figures.

Owing to very liberal supplies retailers

BEGINS TO DISSOLVE
Councirs Action Against
Combines Causes Break
Up in Association.
When the Franklin Printing associa
tion, known as the "printer's trust,"
holds Its regular monthly meeting to
night It la expected that some of the
members will bring up the subject of
dissolving the organisation altogether.
Reoent action tnken by the city coun
cil against other local combinations,
resl or alleged, and the withdrawal of
mot of tho smaller printing concerns
from the asupclatlon Is given by offi
cers as the it-ason for the contemplated
dissolution.
F. W. Baltes. one of the dlrectora,
salil this morning that the association
had b-en practically dead for some
time that except for the monthly social
mo lings the Franklin association Is
extinct He ssld he did not believe It
would be officially dissolved, however.
C. W. llodson, another member of the
board of dlrectora. sail today that he
was not In favor ofssolvlng the or
ganisation that Its purpewe was to help
the small printers and many of thejji
had thought they could get along with
out the help. He did not see, however,
why the organisation should give up.
"We hnve never tried to restrain
trade." said Mr. Hodaon today. "in
some cases where a man has come in to
one of our offices and asked for a price
on a ploco of special work we nave
con-iulled the other members of the as
sociation tw-fore making such a price.
Bui n.ne of us has to stand by the ns
scx Ut Ion's prices. It is simply a ques
tion of Individual honor. We agree to
do so. tiut we cannot punish If wa brenk
the agreement. As for the charge that
we keep the 'Independent' printers from
secuilr.g stock there Is nothing In It.
mow ran we dictate to the paper com
panies?'' Il was admitted, however, that manv
of the amall companies had either wtth
druwn or hod neglectel to pay their
dues ami It la the general opinion that
such companies as have not paid their
dues must bo dropped from the associa
tion.
flee first, and came at top speed to
Portland. They raced to the ear line,
where they all boarded the same ear for
Portland. Once on the car they watched
one another out of the corners of their
eyes In order to anticipate any move
made by the others.
The five men left the car at Second
and Yamhill. Then commenced a race
worthy of record. They sped down the
etreet and put up a close and exciting
race. When they reached the land of
fice all were puffing and hlowlna from
tbelr unuaual exercise, but I'atterson
and his cruisers beat the other two men
by a sufficient margin to allow Patter
son to make the first filing.

T'nless the local authorities consent
to enter into the business of purchas
ing criminals at bargain sale prices it
is not -likely that T. 8. Howard, the
absconding manager of the Willamette
Cream company, recently arrested In
Little Rock. Arkansas, will be brought
back here to answer for his infraction
of the law. The folldwlnr dispatch, re
ceived last night by t hler (irltzmacher

liock. speaks ror Itself:
"Howard's fine here 8800. (0 days.

Unless the Arkansas authorities ex
press a willingness to give up the pris

permitted to retain him as a guest.

James McDonald, one of Portlands
familiar aplrlts, Is dead. After a long
Illness, the latter 'part of which was
spent at the uood Samaritan hospital,
he died yesterday morning.
McDonald of late years gained mucn
notoriety by his vocation of collecting
bad bills, and became known aa the "bad
bill collector of Portland." He was
horn 86 rears ago on Trinidad farm.
Prince Edward'e Island, Nova Bootla.
In ikm he lolned a oartv bouna ror
California during the time of the first
gold excitement, ills party bought a
vessel, loaded It witn lumuer anu iuu.
It around the horrt, expecting to make a
fortune out of the high-priced material.
Hv tha tlma thev reached California.
however, lumber had dropped In price
and tha party went broke.
McDonalu came to Oregon In the
spring of 1862. settling on a farm In
southern Oregon. Here he accumulated
fortune, as fortunes went In those
days. In 1866 he enlisted In the terri
torial volunteers to combat the Indiana,
then on the warpath, and was dajalled
as a pecker. In this work he uaeo 28
mules belonging to him, which were
worth at that time 8100 a head. His
pack train was ambushed on the gov
ernment road near Bonneville, and Mc
Donald was the only survivor of his
fiarty, he escaping by swimming the Co
umbla river below the Cascades. He
had revenge, however, as he furnt-.hed
the rope with which the Indians were
hanged after they had been captured
following the massacre.
McDonald then followed parking for
a numiier of years, and often boasted
that he had l!ved In Oregon for 80 yesra
and never sle.it In a house durlnn that
time. He llvd In Portland since 186
and began to collect had bills t the In
stance of D. C. Burns, whose store he
made his he idquarter.i. He possessed
a remarkable memory, and It Is related
of him that during his collecting he
csme Into ths keeping of a couple o:
sugar barrels full of old bills. He was
able to tell the exact amount of any
bill, and whether or not anything had
been paid on It, without sorting out the
barrels to find the slip of pnper.
