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.

rer cent of the usual price. This put
he price of Carnation to 88.85 a case

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.

Sheep arrivals are again pouring Into
the market In very heavy volume and
the price Is 25o lower for the day. A
total of 1.986 head arrived in the yards
during the 24 hours as compared with

holding Its own on best stuff. There Is
scarcely any call at all for stockers and
feeders, and China fats and for these
lines quotations are nominal.

That a Democrat Could
Get Nothing.
(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."

Plantation Singers Gain
Popularity at Catholic
Club's Street Fair.
The second night of the Toung Men's
Carnival and Street Fair on tha east
side was an even greater success than
the first. The attendance was more
than 3,000, and the pavilions and club
house resembled a bee colony In June.
The feature of the amusements at
the' fair Is the plantation singers. This
is really a high-class musical organisa
tion that would draw crowds at the
beat theatres. The. weal artists are
real Importations from Dixie land, and
they sing nothing but the old. old songs
that have -delighted our -fathers and

ment promises that this will be unique.
Professor Penzell and his class of 60
have been drilling for a long time on a
novelty gymnasium dance which is said
to be the finest thing of the kind over
seen here.
To add variety to the entertainment
there will be a wand drill by 20 pretty
girls and an Indian club drill by 18

r-
Well-Known Academy Has.
Largely Increased in
Attendance.
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.
