Tha regular k spring season opens April IS after op- eraUons hava been closed for a month from,, March 16. The river la full of .flan, according to latest reports that come from the lower river. Tha catch ' tha demand from fresh markets that prlcaa have been held up to tha top notch. With but. a week before the aeason closes for a month, lower river to tha top handlers are taking all the supplies they ran get at the preaent maraei. Canners Ezpeot a Bash Season. Cannerymen are making preparations for record-breaking run of fish when tha 'spring aeaaon opens up on the 16th of newt month. They are buying a larger amount of cans than usual and are making arrangements for help ac cordingly. Tha fact that tha market la Cleaned up -abroad for tha better grades of fish gives this quality a frea channel for tha 108 years pack. While tha exporta to Europe fell off somewhat last aeaaon tha trade expects Increased sales during tha coming pack Tha .

Yesterday one Front atreet handler received 18c a pound for ' a shipment of fancy dressed hens, but me; general market zor areasea atoca was around 16c. The great shortage. ' however, allowed "holdup" values to ' rule occasionally. For live chicks tha feueral market today la 13 HO 14c, with aney coops of hens ranging between '. 14014c. Springs are In greatest de- mann wiu nominal arrivals. '' . Eft's Are Weaker. A, weaker tone Is ahown In the local - egg market. Receipts ara again Increas ing ' and tha market generally stands around 18a, although once In awhile a single case may ba sold a fraction high er. There Is quits a fair outside de- - mand-for eggs at thla time, but had it . not been for thla tha market here would undoubtedly ba lower Juat now. Trade In eggs Is .good, but even though con sumption is increasing arrivals are that .mucn neiier. : : .'rotate Buslaess Is Setter. . - There la a somewhat better movement of potatoes to the southwest at this time. -.Low prices have enabled tha lo cal shipping trade to get rid of a por . tlon of the. surplus at about growing prices. Onions are holding firm. The arrival of Japanese onions is reported In this , market. Southern markets are better . because of the mild weather, which causes tha stock to sprout very fast. 1'or this reason first-class onions bring . a premium. Oregon quality Is, however, much better than Japanese. A -car of vegetables was reported In this morning. ' Asparagua Is mora plentiful and ' prices are lower. Another shipment of hothouse cucum bers .from Illinois Is reported In by ex . . press this morning. After cutting out several cars of b , Tianas. which formerly arrived in this market weekly, the trade has decided to Increase the present supplies by one ,j car a week. For some time there haa ' been a shortage because of tha scant - arrivals. However handlers have made the business profitable. Hawkers and , Consumers ara tha ones to suffer. t Brief Votes of tha Trade. ' Oranges are now being received here ' In 60-U hampers Instead of boxes. This . mode of shipment Is more cheaply han ... died because of the elimination of box- ' packing. Quality or fruit Is fine.

One lot of mohair, consisting of about pounds, waa sold hero during the past 24 hours at 26c a pound while a small lot of Willamette .valley wool was sold at 16c a pound. While shear- ng operations ara still nominal, a spell of warm weather would force the sea son to open generally during the next ten days. with a continuance or the former small run, the local livestock market continues in its former rut; prices to all lines being unchanged.

KULISH'S HOT LASHES FALL Dfl IHTEITH Discharged Employe of City Park Puts Large Ax on Grindstone. A. Kullsh has been discharged from the position of laborer In the city park, upon recommendation of Superintendent Montieth, but that does not keep him from appearing before the park board and telling the members that he can jrove mat Monteitn diverted city iunds lor private use. Kullsh has become to be regarded as a sort of perpetual Joke around the city hall, and when he appeared before tne park board this morning he was re quested to file his charges against Montelth In writing, which he gladly consented to do. and the matter will be taken up at the next board meeting Kullsh claims that Montieth paid one Frank Mi-Lean 65 out of city funds for work performed In the cjly park last April. Kullsh claims that he can prove that McLean was doing private work at that time, and waa not em-, ployed by the city. Kullsh also claims that Montelth used fertilizer and other city property for purposes other Uian those for the city's interest, in met Kullsh has a long string of abuses which he claims were practiced by Montelth and wants the board to know about them. After the charges are reduced to writing- the board will take them up for In vestigation. Moat of these charges were hashed out by the board about a year ago, and it is the general opinion that Kullsh Is trying to "get even" with Montelth for losing his Job In the city park.

For things that will grow In the temperate zone Oregon haa practically all or tnem You can s-et all tha ovsters voui heart would desire from the beds of this state, and clams, crabs and lobstera could likewise be secured whenever needed without aendlng to other mar kets. Fish that beat the world for quality are always on tap In the Columbia river and Its tributaries, whether it be sal tnon. smelt or some other variety. Meats from home ranches are noted for their flavor, the finished cattle of Oregon being In every way up to the best obtainable elsewhere, and at lower prices, too. Potatoes form one of the stand-bys of Oregon and the quality of this state's Burbanks, Early Rose and American Wonder varieties causes them to be shipped to every market where the freight charges are not too discriminat ing. Hand in hand with potatoea go the Oregon onions, wnicn always sen at an advance of 15c to 35c per hundred pounds over the onions grown else where. ' For keeping qualities the Ore gon onion stands alone at the head of the class. .During the spring and aummer months Oregon" produces a better line of vegetables tnan does any other sec tion and prices ruling in the markets ara not high. Oregon cabbage is firmer and heavier than the product of any other coast state and this is the reason why It, sells at higher prices than others during' Its proper season. Cauliflower is In the same class with cabbage, the heads being compact and the taste Just what you want. With all the talk of Bouldln Island asparagus coming from the Callfornlans, the uregon-grown article is so zar aDove that of tha southern state that the dif ference la too marked to be compared. Oregon 'grass is much sweeter than that obtainable In the south. There Is scarcely need to talk about tha merits of Oregon apples, for their fame la world-wide and the prices re cently obtained in London were three times as great as for other varieties. Cranberries from Oregon marshes are getting a reputation along the coast and strawberries from Hood River and the Willamette valley have no equals anywhere. This much is conceded even by competitors. Eggs are getting cheap enough to use. They are cheaper than meats, even at the low price of the latter. At 25 cents a dozen they are In increasing demand. Some stores are selling them at two dozen for 45c, while one or two are putting the price even lower than that Chickens are high again because of TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY STRAYED OR STOLEN FROM SPENCE pasture, Columbia slough, 7 year old, sorrel chestnut horse, weight about 900 pounds, brand F on left flank.

Oranges are rather cheap because of the larger supplies, so many people are paying tne best prices for large sizes when better quality could ba ob tained in small irult ror less money.

Floating Island Is one of the desserts that take orange peel as a flavor. This is a true egg custard. Use five eggs to a quart of milk; beat the yolks, with five tablespoon fula of sugar, and beat light and smooth: brine tha mlllr tt ih scald, lift frorri the fire and pour a mue on tne beaten eggs, stirring all the time; then add all to tha milk and set back to cook. If you use a double boiler it will be best The custard will thicken slowly; have the whites beaten to a stiff froth and drop them by the spoonful Into boiling water, so there will be a meringue, first adding a little sugar to them. Stir the custard until nearly cool, flavor and serve with the whites on too. Decorate with rh.rri.. or canuy. Someone writing In tha Housebanp . 1 1 M . . . ions vi u wiiiis uean soup worm trying.
