Hothouse cucumbers are lower, Dressed meats are steady. . Gooseberries in better supply, right On la Condensed Cream. The Pacific 'Coast Condensed Cream company baa waved a red tlftf In Pie face of tha Borden Milk company, and the result Is one of the fiercest fights In the filatory of the" condensed milk In . dpstry of the Pacific coast! Some time ago tha.; Borden company WhleljyU called the combine among the frade---tfied to pry the "Pacific coast people cut of the market by giving the k peers one case of milk free with each 10 paid for. While this might be a good thing for the grocers It did not help the con sumers any. and this Is where the Pa cific, coast people seem to have played 4 very wise hand. Today they an- nminnAft a reduction in the Price. amounting to 40o a case or about 10 rer cent of the usual price. This put he price of Carnation to 88.85 a case as against It.oa on tne .tsoraen pruuuci, the pioneer. ; right Promises t Be Warm. . The Tight among the condenserles 'promises to be a very warm one and will rival the coming summer weather for heat. The first blow struck by the Pacific Coast company has had the ef fect of staggering its rivals,- and when they regain their composure It is not unlikely the Borden people will go the local people one better. Then the fur will' begin to fly In earnest and the bibles will secure a better supply of condensed milk. ra-orable to Xiocal People. , ' As far as the fight in this territory Is concerned, it is favorable to the local people. The Pacific Coast Condensed Cream company has Vie largest con denser on the coast located In Oregon. This is at Yorest Grove. The com pany likewise has a plant at Illllsbor . This latter was . the plant formerly owned by the Oregon Orape people, but was absorbed by the Pacific Coas Con densed Cream company about 'a year ago because of-its fast-growing busi ness. The same company has a plant at Kent, " Washington, where Its main' office Is located. ' Because of the prom inence of the Forest Grove plant It is stated 'lhat officials of the company are talking of making Portland their headquarters, for it is here that most f of the business Is done. ' " The Borden, company has a plant at Auburn, Washington, but has not yet located an institution In this state. All Quoting Batter Advance.

(Special Dispatch to The Joornal.l Grants Pass. Or;, May 20. Governor Seorgs K. " Chamberlain "was " gvwa grand ovation by tha people of Orants Pass and Josephine county at the opera house last night The meeting was In striking contrast with tha cold reception tendered Mr. Cake a few days ago. Not only tha people of this city but many from tha country were here to hear the governor, whose coming had been her alded by his friends through all tha rural districts and surrounding mining camps. He arrived on the evening train and was met at tha depot by a commit tee of Democrats appointed bytho mass meeting of Democrats held here yester day afternoon, and by other eltlaens, both Democrats and Republicans. An Informal reception was tendered him at the Hotel Josephine, where ha met a large delegation of citlsens. The governor was Introduced by Stephen Jewell, Judge of Josephine county. His appearance on the stand was the signal for hearty applause and ha was warmly applauded all through his discourse. Especially did he meet with enthusiastic response when ho as sured the audience of his unswerving allegiance to Statement No. 1. as well aa other principles of the people that ha-has stood faithfully by during his two terms as governor ef tha state. He showed that the cry of alarm raised by the opposition, that no Demo cratic representative in congress can secure anything for Oregori, is without foundation. Mammoth appropriations were being constantly and regularly se cured for work on the lower Missis sippi and southern harbors by Demo cratic) congressmen. ' Fulton and Gearln, working In harmony, notwithstanding one was a Republican and tha other a Democrat, secured, he said, larger ap propriations for Oregon than any two men this state has sent to Washington for years. "We need men at Washington who will work for the people," the governor said,' "and who will keep ever in mind the needs of the state rather than the greed of corporations." songToOixieT carnival feature Plantation Singers Gain Popularity at Catholic Club's Street Fair.

Through-an error It was announced yesterday that the two Episcopal In stitutions in the city, ood "Samaritan hospital and St Helen's hall, were run ning behind In finances. It is a pleas ure to eorreot this. Since the Sisters of St. John the Rn- tlst took charge of the school, four years ago, the attendance has largely in ncreased and the finances have been steadily Increasing. The institution Is now In the most nrosDerous condition It has aver known, all expense having been met promptly and no rail made on the trustees for funds. In addition to the expenses of the school the sum of $2,000 has been contributed toward tha gymnasium and an additional $2,Q0S Is now on hand towwrd building a new chapel. So far from running behind, the school has so largely increased in attendance of boarding pupil that In the near future the question of an ad ditional building for their accommo dation is to be planner). The hospital Is self-supporting and would show an Increase over expenses if It were not for the great number of, charity patients who are treated. The condition of both Institutions Is most satisfactory. CRATER LAKE AND SNAKE DAM DENIED (gperinl Dhpateo to The Joaraal. aVashlngton, May 20.
