" This morning ; the Portland , butter market reached , the highest quotation for this period of the -year in the his tory of the creamery Industry on . the Pacific- coast. . The advance amounted to 144 O' a pound, and put the price of the beat , product of 84c. Even the record-breaking values of a year ago were swept aside by today's action of the butter makers, for last season the price did not advance to S4c a pound until May ( 28. Two years ago at this time ihe price fonbest butter stood at 26o a pound, while-In 106 the ofloe for this day was 20c. '. . -r - - " ; The extreme strength of the cream ery butter market at this time Is not merely a local condition for every, where else; the market Is firmer with frrleea (recently advanced because of the arger demand than supplies. . Butter Sforers Disappointed. Butter storers are very much disap pointed over the advance, because many of them have held off their operations because they thought the market was going to 80c or lower. The same mis take was made by hem this season as a year ago. Practically all the surplus product manufactured so far this year has been purchased by the Puget sound and British Columbia market, with Alaska taking 4iold. too. Ixeal people have not taken more than their regular requirements for . fresh consumption. In the east there has been a gradual advance In the price of creameries be cause of the heavy demand, and this market was one of the last to feel the movement. As Oregon-made butter has a reputation for, quality from Mexico to Bering sea, tha local people did not believe that our product should sell at the bottom. Georgia Buying Valley Potatoes. ; An order for one car of Willamette valley potatoes has been received from Georgia. The south has heard of the wonderful quality of the Oregon prod uct, and there promises to be quite a fair business from that direction. Trade with Georgia would be quite heavy -.m'Ar tt not for the .enormous freight Vtamti from here to the far south. The local potato market Is good and Sieaoy, with pncea quim won main tained. California business remains good at unchanged values. ti Inncexoected car of Cochella Bermuda onions was unloaded on the street this morning. Market 'very stiff because of the very heavy demand and limited supplies. A car of navel oranges was unloaded T Shipments of new California red on-- 10ns are uue on tn n 1 ranciaco - steamer tomorrow morning. -Sgga Boosted Too BUgb. It seetns the Intention of some boost ers too'put the egg prices to a figure where supplies cannot be moved. At thU time eggs are being sold along Front street at 18 and 18 Vic, the latter figure for single case lots. According to one of the larger receivers of eggs, he offered eggs all day Saturday to commission houses at 180 a dosen, but did not land any business. These same people are talking about prices le high- Chicken market is steady, but some cunnlles were carried over from Satur day by those unwilling to accept the printed price. xnose wining iw eeu could have done so quite easily. - Pressed meat market was nominal today,' but a fairly good tone Is expect ed for the week. Brief Betel of the Trade. ' California strawberries are In very large supply today and prices are rang ing from $1.60 to f l.TS, the latter figure lor "Hollars."

Upon the success with which the police meet In stamping out the southern Indian conspiracy against British rule will depend In great measure the fate of the amir of Afghanistan. Though General Sir Tames Willoocks la stilt driving the Afghans back from the entrance to Khyber Pass he has 'not a sufficient force at his back to push far Into the enemy's country. No one doubts that the amir was re sponsible for the Afghan invasion and General Kitchener Is said to believe an example Bhould be made of him. . It will take a large army, however, to deal with hi force of nearly 100,000 regular and Irregular troopa and If there Is to be se rious trouble In. southern India, the mili tary authorities do not want a cam paign on their hands in the north. liesultory skirmishing continues be tween General WHlcock's men and the Afghans but the latter are gradually breaking Into small parties and taking to the fastnesses group by group, evi dently in the hope of so wide a scatter ing that the British cannot pursue them.

This talented coloratura singer will be assisted by the brilliant plantste. Edith Moxom Gray, recently here with the Chicago Symphony or chestra; also the noted English 'cellist Hans Dreasel. Miss Abott has a per fect legato, and in the melodious pas sages the voice flows with the liquid evenness changing In color and expres sion with ax little apparent effort as a stream exhibits In its quick changes from bright eunllght to deep shadow. Quite as smoothly and easily the same voice f Iowa through the intricate Chan-H neis or norltudc. leaping and falling, flashing and gleaming and resembling in Its mad flight through the undulating oountry of Verdi and Donzetti'a musical imagination, the descent of the water at 8outhey's I.adoro. The coloratura sing er who achieves such purity of vooallsm must of necessity direct ber efforts to wards this end. RUN INTO AND SET ON FIRE BY BLAZING COLT Upper Marlboro, Md., May .

N. Hamilton's demand to ave his name placed, on the ballot as an inde pendent candidate for railroad commis sioner In opposition to Clyde. B. Altch lson, who def sated him. In the Republi can primary, will be carried before Presiding Judge Uantenbein in the cir cuit court late ' this afternoon or to morrow. This is the result of the re fusal of County Clerk Fields to place Hamilton's name on the ballot, Mr. Fields being In doubt as to the legality of such action. The question will be brought to focus through an application for a writ of mandamus to compel the county clerk to put Hamilton on the ballot. Hamil ton and his attorney conferred with Judge Gantenbeln this morning and the latter agreed to take up the matter as soon as the attorneys are ready to be heard. As the proceeding Is a friendly one, and only a few days are left In which to file the petition, should Ham ilton's position be sustained, the mat ter will be rushed to an early hearing. The law requires that candidates for congress and for offices to be filled by the electors of the state at large1 shall filA thutr netltlnnm frtt tndannnriAnt num. nation with the secretary of state at' least 30 days before the election. It I railroad commissioner Is held to come I under such classification it is too late to file. Another section of the law pro vides that candidates for oountv offices I and for state officers elected by dis tricts shall be filed with county clerks at least IS days before the 1 election. Hamilton contends that the railroad commissioner ts chosen for an electoral district within the meaning of the law, and that be la therefore required to file with each county clerk in the district Boundaries of the two railroad com missioner districts are identical with those of the congressional districts. At the time the election law was passed the railroad commission had not been created. Had tt been in existence at that time the legislature would no doubt have provided that the filing should be done with the secretary of state, but it Is contended that under existing law the petition of the can didate must be placed on record with each county clerk in the district.

The navy de partment has inaugurated the policy of reducing the weight of the battleships as far as possible by the removal of some or tne ooats ana aiviw, unnnvris sarv bridges, heavy tops and masts, and boat cranes. Naval constructors have been given Instructions to follow out the idea as far as possible and the result will probably be the elimination of the rather elaborate superstructure which characterises American warships. This Is one tangible result of ' the armor belt controversy. The ships' will be altered whenever any of them are at a navy yard long enough to have the changes made. i CSITD TOB BTTTXEBU CATAX.OOTB OP Trees, Shrubs, Vines, Etc. .
