There waa a drop of t6 In the prloe

the exclualve predictions made by thla
papec Saturday. City creamerlea ara
bow quoting their extra fancy branda at
1 6c a pound. The earn grade of out

There were' quite' liberal receipt a of
asparagus today rrom local points. Ar
rival were moatly of the green variety
and -found a ready aale around 6o and 7c
a pound. There Is likewise a very good
supply of 'grass from Walla Walla and
California points but the coming ol the
local product will force both of these
outalde of the local trade.
Strawberries Ara lower Again.
Lower prices are shown In the straw
berry market along Front street. Re
ceipts from California are quite fair;
the run from Florin being the heaviest
of the season. Today's arrivala were
not up to the quality heretofore shown
and even at $3 per crate of 16 boxea the
demand was not eiceaalve.
Reports from local points Indicate that
home berries will be in the market with
in a week or so from favored sections.
This will formally open the season here
as outalde berrlea cannot compare witn
the quality of thoae produced right here
In the Willamette valley or at Hood
River, White Salmon or The Danes.
Hothouse Xttooe rinds Demand.
There Is a better tone In the demand
for hothouse lettuce. Along the street
today receipts were not so good and
sales of extra select crates were made
at fractionally advanced figures. Kvery

Mayor Lane, 12 city fathers. B. 8.
Josselyn, presldsnt of the Portland Rail
way, Light A Power company, and pat
entees too numerous to mention, one of
them being a Chinaman, were lata at
luncheons today In their efforts to solve
the streetcar fender question.
Each of the patentees boosted for
themselves alone, naturally. President
Joaaelyn wasn't particular, giving each
of the fenuers a fair trial. An for the
mayor and the councllmen, they saw
the demonstrations and then went to
their belated midday meals trying to
determine which was the best or the
worst.
Sawdust dummies were used, the ex
hibition taking place at Twenty-fourth
and Raleigh streets. Dummy after
dummy was practically cut to pieces, as
In moat of the trials the bodies were
bumped as they lay flat on the track.
A finder which la now in use in Chi
cago waa tried for the first time and
seemed to make a favorable Impression
on the councllmen. It Is shear-ahaped,
being placed Just ln front of the wheels,
snd throws the Image to the right-hand
side of the track. This fender will be
tried again with a bumper or network
attachment.
The question of passing sn ordinance
which la to provide for the application
of airbrakes to all of the cars in use
ln the city was also discussed by the
councllmen during the impromptu meet
ing. It wss explained by a representative
of the National Air Brake company that
It was not practical to supply the
smaller cars with airbrakes and that
hand brakes worked just as well. If
the ordinance Is passed the streetcar
company will abandon the smaller cars.
However, ln case the ordinance Is passed
it might be amended to allow the
smaller cars to be used on the suburban
lines and not ln the crowded city dis
tricts.
The airbrake question and the. fender
business, which has been a sort of
nightmare to all the councllmen and the
mayor for months, will he settled as
soon as possible.

the Holiness mission at 15 West Mis
souri avenue, they call "God's Little
Woman."
"For thirteen years I lived with a
drunken brute I called husband. Twice
he turned the garden hose on me.
Many times he made me sleep on the

"That was ten years ago, and for ten
years I prayed for a husband who
would please me and the Lord. Five
months ago 1 met Job Lyon in this very

Here Is the Rev. Job H. Lyon's story:
"Five months ago tonight I was
rallod upon to preach in this mission.
God was with me that night and I
saved five souls. But all through my
sermon something kept pulling me to
look at t lie little gray-haired woman
who sat beside the organist. When

through me and she shouted, 'Amen,

Missionary Declares It Must
Be Done in 35 Years or
- . Not at All. ,
At tha Presbyterian ministers' malt
ing this morning Rev. Frank W. Plbl,
a missionary front Central China, ex
plained fn detail the educational work
of the board of foreign , missions la
Hangchow and the surrounding prov
inces.' He told of the growth of Ue
boys' oollege at that place, ef the nn
cesslty for a new and larger sits for
college buildings, and of tha beautiful
situation of the tract which has been
purchased, where a boys' college Is to
he erected. When completed the col
lege will accommodate about 100 stu
dents snd will be the only distinctively
Christian oollege capable of doing ad-
vanceti wora ana graduating guinea
ministers, who will take tip evangelis
tic work among their own neODle.
among a population of 11.000,000.
The buildings in Hangchow, which
have been occupied by the college will
be taken over by the girls' school, hav
ing an attendance of about 100 girls,
Mr. Bible explained In detail the re
adjustment of educational work which,
hna made it possible to establish grade
schools among the people and to keep
them well equipped. Twenty thousand,
doilara of the $76,000 needed to bull2
the new college buildings has been sub
scribed snd lumber promised for one oi!
the buildings. Ha explained how tha
work has been hampered by the tin-,
certainty as to tha sum of money avail-,
able, and urged a gradual Increase of
the appropriation for the foreign field.
In Shanghai he ssid the Chlrstlan Chi- 1
neae have assumed the support and) i
control of their own academy, and their '
church work Is self-supporting. - , j
In Japan he explained that tha mis
slonsry work Is much hampered be-i
cause tne natives resent tna autnoritv
of the mlaslonartes; In China tbe effort
being made to have tha Chine
themselves assume the resDonaibilltM
of carrying on their own evangelisation, j
Mr. Bible thinks that this Ls entirely !
Firactlcable, but he aaya that tne tlme
or eatabllahlng the church so firmly
In that country that the power of the
country will be a Christian alvlllsatton
rather than pagan. Is short He b-
lleves that within the next IS years it
will be possible to do this, but afted
that tha opportunity will-be closed, and
China, a world-power of aggreaslvely
agnostlo principles will threaten our
western civilisation.
At the business meeting tha temper-.
ance campaign which Is under way on t
the east side was presented to the at
tention of the ministers, and they were) ;
asked to attend the men's meeting to
