Today'a atock market atartad very strong and waa Arm all day, with substantial advance throughout the list. Trading was on a more extensive seal than for ev era! weeks, over 600,000 aharea being traded In up to 2 o'clock. The upward drift of the atock mar ket which aet In a ifortnlght ago haa continued and the movement is all the more noteworthy, because It waa dona In the face of the opposition of a good part of the professional trading ele ment. The upward tendency la founded In the main upon two considerations: First, the signs of a gradual recovery In outalde trade; second, an increasing care that prices for stocks, the divi dends of which are reasonably well as sured, are selling low enough to meas ure all the risks of tha situation, finan cial or political. In a word, tne market a una or least resistance ha veered completely; whereas for the last year prices have moved down easier than they have up ward. It is the upward path that la now the easier. There is, of course, a sharp distinc tion observed between the better class of stocks and those whose financial posi tion Is uncertain. Many of the weaker railroad companies still have an awk ward problem to face in the ahapn of note Issues coming due. which they cannot meet and will find It difficult to renew. This and harassing explanation In many form ha driven soma of them, like the International ft Great North ern of Texa, and the Western Mary land, this week to seek thetprotectlon of the court, and there is much rea son to expect that the list of receiver ship among this clas of propertle will be .lengthened. But liquidation In the lowVgrade stocks Inspired by these faars has ceased to Influence the gen eral list. It la one proof of the mar ket's sold-out condition that It la able to differentiate between tha good and the bad. It la another proof that the receiverships are caused by poor earn ings and other untoward events, which no longer evoke response in the mora solid class of securities. There is, however, more widespread confidence than existed a month ago, and we have reached the bottom of the trade depression, and from now on. pro ceeding slowly, recovery will be con stant and firm. The letter recently written by Presi dent Roosevelt to a Wall street man, saying that he was not opposed to legit imate trading, was quite an aid to to day's market and probably accounted for most of the advance during the session.

Resident living on College, Jackson and Clifton streets between Park and Sixteenth are greatly excited because of the report that the city Is proceed ing in the matter Of constructing a boulevard through their property In ac cordance with tha proposed parking scheme which will result In the rasing of 25 or 26 residences. The report was given credence be cause city engineers have been survey ing the land in the vicinity and one of the engineers Is reported to have told a resident of the scheme. Stakes havs been set and measurements of the various house have been taken by the engineer with a view nf ascertaining their value for the purpose, it Is sup posed, of condemnation. T. L. Garland, who -owns a home and aeveral lota In the vicinity, said today: This engineer stated that the boule vard would extend from Park atreet across College, Clifton and Jackson, skirting the hills ' to Sixteenth. From Sixteenth the boulevard would be ex tended by a bridge to Portland heights where It would open on Montgomery drive. He said that property would bo condemned a block on either aide of the boulevard In order to insure sight seers a good view from the driveway. If this scheme is carried out it will be bitterly fought by the property own ers. We have held our property for year and feel sure we would not get Just valuation from the city ahould It decide .to condemn our property. "To my notion toe whole scheme la one cooked up for the benefit of the street railway company. Should the city build the boulevard It would only be a matter of a short time before the company would be In the council seeking- a franchise for a track over this route., Thl would mean that the city would go to the expense of building the boulevard and the company would come In nnd get the benefit." When Sunerlntendent Monteith was ssked about the matter he said that he did not know anything about the engineers being at work and did not know whether the proposed system cut through the part of the city outlined by Mr. Garland.

Witness Says Wynne Threat ened to "Oct" Some of , , Dead Man's Gang. ' This afternoon the defense began the Introduction of evidence by which It hopes to have John Wynne acquitted of the charge of murdering W. II. llu Put In the aalbon of Martin Denny, pn Fourth atreet, on the night of rec ru ber 11. The state his morning closed Its case with the testimony of Lester v Hicks of Pendleton, who told of a clash between the defendant and ' the dead man six or seven years ago, and of . lrs. William Zelgler and Cheater 4 More, who gave evidence regarding the death of I)u Puis. ' . The defense succeeded In shutting out the testimony of Joseph A. Du Puis, a brother of tha deceased, because he had remained In the courtroom during the . most of tne trial. At tne- outset "tne rourt made an order excluding al wit '. nrsses, and the prosecution did . not have Du Puis retire from the room, as It uks not expected that, his-testimony would be needed. This makes the sec ond KitttH witness that has been blocked by objection of the defense.' John -A; Al'.'Leary was kept off the stand Sat urday because his name had been writ ten "A. Mcliren" on the Information. Lester 1 licks said that he, "Bill" Du Puis, as the victim of Wynne's revolver was known to his Intimates, and several other when they were boy -were known as "the sewer gang" in Pendle- -ton. He said they were only "klda" at that time and they applied thla desertp-, tlve name to themselves. It wae Just a name, he said, and meant nothing In particular. He said that this "gang" wa no longer In existence at the tlm of the occurrence between Wynne and ' Du Puis. Wynne was conducting a sa loon in Pendleton at that time, and' the. witness. Du Put snd others would oe- caslonally visit the place. On' one of these visits, said tha witness, Wynne threatened to "get" aoma of this sang. Defense Kbowe Xaad. . Hicks waa closely cross-examined and admitted that b had been several times convicted in the recorder's court In Pendleton on charge of fighting and drunkenness.

It will , be claimed that be believed himself - in danger of his life when he fired the i.ial shots, although witnesses for the - state have testified that Uenny naa thrown the men apart and waa stand ing almost between them when Wynne . began to shoot. The defense 1 also expected to offer -testimony on the line of temporary in- , sanity, based on injuries he ih alleged to have sustained years ago and his having been affected by St Vitus' dance.

FILLBASKET APPLE " QUITE WELL NAMED Spokane, Wash., March a-R. McCor mlck, an orchardist near Zlllah, Wash ington, southwest of Spokane, haa Just made the discovery that the Kentish Fillbasket, an old English apple, will thrive better In this .country than it does In its native soil. This upsets the pet theory of expert horticulturists In various parts of America and is of Importance to fruit growers - every where. The trees, designated as Wine saps, were Imported from a nursery in Iowa three years ago. The fruit on three trees In the 10-acre orchard was different from the rest and the color and firmness attracted, attention.. The apples were put away until a few days ago, when Bruce Wees, a widely trav eled apple buyer, declared they were of the Fillbasket variety, grown almost exclusively in Kent. The apple Is large and is of cream color, lightly speckled. Twelve apples take up as much room as 35 ordinary ones. Mr. Wees says the drawback to the trees in Ens-land is that they bear only every third year. but Mr. McCormlck believes they can be made to yield annually In this coun try. At any rate, he is savins the sci ons and will make a thorough test the coming season. Justice RcJd holds that Principal B. E.
