Highest Price for Butter.
" 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

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."

Portland Union Stockyards, May 1 1.
The entire livestock market Is very firm
today in fact the , tone Is unusually
strong owing to the entrance of
Schwartzschild & Sulzberger into the lo
cal killing trade. The fact that S. & 8.
took active control of the Zimmerman
plant this, morning brought out a more
spirited 'demand for livestock and all
lines were affected.
While there was no change In ruling
values the increase - In the demand has
caused all lines to hold at the top.
Receipts for the day were of nominal
nature, consisting of but -70 hogs and 23'
horses. Not a single head of cattle or
sheep arrlvad in the yards over Sunday.
A year ago -for this date all lines
were showing an increase In weakness
but values were unchanged for the

New York. May 11. Smashing of

ENGLAND TO STAMP
OUT INDIAN REVOLT
"""" "
Calcutta. May 11. 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.
The' amir's plan.- was undoubtedly to
reserve his declaration of war until he
had a large force on British territory
and had succeeded In rousing the north
ern iudlaa tribes

Hans Dreasel. Miss Abott has a per
fect legato, and in the melodious pas

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

flashing and gleaming and resembling
in Its mad flight through the undulating
oountry of Verdi and Donzetti'a musical

er who achieves such purity of vooallsm
must of necessity direct ber efforts to

GETJtTTICKET
Judge Gantenbein to Decide
Legality of Independent
, Candidate's Demand. -
A. 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.
BOURNE DENIES HIS
WILLINGNESS TO SWAP
Portland, Or., May 11 To the Editor
of The Journal A few days ago you
published a statement to the effect that
Senator Bourne had agreed with some
body that If somebody would permit
State Senator I. H. 'Bingham to name
the Lane county delegation to the Re
publican state convention. Senator
Bourne would vote for the Fordney
amendment to the Fulton Oregon and
California land grant resolution. On
reading same Mr. Bingham divined the
purpose' of giving currency to such a
statement and immediately wired the
gist of it to Senator Bourne, who re
plied, as follows:
"I deny and request you to deny for
me rne journals report as speclllea
In your yesterday's telegram. The re
port ts absolutely without ' even the
shadow of foundation."
In Sunday's Journal you repeated the
statement In connection with your story

REDUCE WEIGHT
OF BATTLESHIPS
(United Preas Leana" Wire.)
Washington, May 11. 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.
