More berries are being received from ' Hood River on this account The qual ity of the local berries is greatly im proved and. at this time they are far superior to the stock coming from Call fornla although j the latter is ? quite good. California, "dollars"' are selling along Front street today at 11.76 and IS per IS box crate with the aver age transactions around f 1.85 and 11.60. Willamette valley berries - are selling at 13.00 and $rer crate of in while tne best Hooa uver irun rinaa sv up tnand here arouna ana .zo. Creamery Butter More plentiful. - Creamery butter la more plentiful tn the local market and makers expect the arrivals to reach their height during the next week or so. Outside creamer ies still report considerable trouble in disposing of their surplus and it is stated that some are secretly cutting prices. However, as the northern de mand la still quite good the cutting -or pricea seema folly and city makers are sending all their surplus In that direc tion. The s-eneral onlnton of toe trade la that pricea will soon react because of tne expected arrivals or eastern ouiwt in tne norm wnicn wouiq cuv uui oui Of the shipments , irom nere. . Cheese ISarket Zs Blow. A very alow, tone la ruling In the local cheeee market at this time. While ' suppllea are Increasing the demand seems to have fallen off the trade ln to exnect atili another decline In prices. Usually at this time with the. price of cheese around the present height, tnere is a aemana ior fiorasu, but thus far the operations for the short season have been small Indeed. - Ror market la a fraction easier al though some Front street dealers are still reporting a few -sales of single cases aa high as 20c. The bulk of Ue business however, la arouna use With more at lc than at SOc Re ceipts are again showing some increase. ' mow Movement in Poultry. There is a rather slow movement In the poultry market along Front atreet at thla time. While receipts are not so heavy aa they were a week ago, the trade Is not Inclined to buy heavily. Some receivers are still showing coops that came in the first of the week; even the lower price range being unable to bring forth a cleanup demand. Thla applies more to the- hens and mixed toons, for spring chlcka are not being IMg'ectea jM .any extent. t - v , Potato Market Za Very firm. A very firm tone is shown In the potato market here notwithstanding the lower prices ruling In Ban Franelseo. Arlsona Is stUl in the market for Ore gon Burbanks and the local demand la 'absorbing whatever surplus is shown. . New potatoes are in larger supply from me eoum ana prices are irac tlonallv lower with values ruling at 2tt 8c: the latter for fancy stock. New potatoes are not showing any better quality than the arrivals of a month &go and for this reason are Interfering ut little thua far with the demand for olds. , While the -onion market la eaay lo cally owing to the quite liberal sup plies from the south, prices are still Being maintained Brief Votes of the Trade. "Dressed meats continue dull with prices unchanged from the first of the - week. Oranges are still showing advancing rices in tne souin, dui no cnange was oted here todav. " - Two cars of bananas arrived In ' to day from Central America. Stocks In good shape, but rather green: Page & Son report in the first 'black berries for the present season. Stocks from California and were packed in half-pound boxes 'and sold at $1.75 a crate. Same price 'for loganberries. Front street sella at the following prices.

LEAVE HOPS ON VINE SAYS PAUL WEIDNER "If hopgrowers can get any comfort out of the present situation they can do more than I can," says Paul Weidner, the veteran grower and dealer. Mr. Weldner haa just returned to Oregon for hla annual vacation from his office at Detroit, Michigan. He has a hopyard containing 100 acres at North Yamhill. "The outlook for hop prices Is very dark," he stated to The Journal this morning. "Not only are the brewers overloaded wlth,.;iops, but the prohibi tion wave is certainly scaring thorn all and even though they were not piled up with hops, they would not bov them now because of this latter condition. "Perhaps Oregon jrrowers have read in the papers of latt that a number, of counties In Illinois, Michigan and even in Ohio have gone dry. So they can readily see that the prospects for a fair price for 1908 hons is not very bright and will not be unless something un usual happens. "Mv advice to the growers la, don't pick your hops unless the price is bet' ter than at present. If they do It will ruin the prospects for the 1909 season just like it did for last year. I sold last week two cars of 1906 hope at 2c delivered, after tryinj hard to get a bet ter price. I figured that It would be better to take that price than nothing because at this time I would not pay $1 a bale for 1906s, for I do not think I would be able to unload them. "Some of the brewers .have lost 25 per cent of th(?lr business during the Fiaat few months owing to the Increase n local option, so I do not see where growers can figure on prospects for a better market for the near future. At least I don't see where they are going to get the picking money under present conditions." . . . , , . , Several local dealers are In receipt of letters from California, stating that the total plowed up aTt.age there will not amount to more than 1,000 acres and that under normal conditions California will produce this season about 90.000 bales the same as In 1907.

There waa no rain in -the Walla Walla or Pa louse districts. : Today's weather map of the government shows another clear sky for the wheat country. - Warmer weather la needed very badly for all crops, even including grain, but the latter would be greatly improved with more moisture.; The season la get ting late, and unless a warm spell sets in soon it will cause most of the crops to mature rather slow. As regarding hops .and wheat It msy put the harvest during the rainy season, and thua cause damage. -v. - v . ' Pendleton, May 28. Thirty-seven com bined harvesters have been aold to t'ma tllla county farmers thia season, making a total ofover 800- now in use in the county. These harvesters are capable of cutting, -threshing and sacking about 80 acrea' of 1 wheat " per day, and 'are handled by five expert men and a team ef from 26 to 82 Jead Of' horses or mules.. They -cost 00' an average Of $2,000 -each; and the entire equipment for one harvester, including teams and narneav costs about $6,000. making a total of over $1,600,000 Invested in this kind of harvest machinery and equip ment in this county, to say nothing of tbe large number of stationary thresh ing machines in use in the county. Every farmer having- half a section of wheat land now owns a. combined har vester. A charge of $1 per acre is made by ownera of harvesters -for cut ting, threshing and sacking grain for others. One harvester makes a season's run of about 1,000 acres and thus al most pays for itself in one year. ' Umatilla county has the largest num ber of '- combined harvesters of . any county In the world, so far as Is known. The dry weather preceding harvest in this county causes grain to ripen uni formly, and thua makes It possible to cut It With a - combined harvester, as all of the crops are ready for the sickle at the same time. In other sections where grain ripens , unevenly other kinds of machines must ba used. WAR OF BANNERS IS "CAfJPAlGH FEATURE Saloon Men Making Use of Sarcastic and Facetious Inscriptions. With election time fast approaching, tha anti-aaioon movement on the eaat side grows mora active every day. A. close canvaaa haa been made of all the precincts by specially appointed com mittees of antl-saloonlsts and they are confident that the vote on the eaat aide will be overwhelmingly dry. To prevent any possible fraud at the polls, -the leaders of the liquor icono clasts have announced that a man with a kodak will ba atationed at each poll ing place and every person wishing to swear in his vote and the man who stands sponsor for him will be "snapped," -The temperance men are introducing the same advocates In their campaign against Portland saloons that the advo cates of no "boose" In the south did in the recent vlctorioua onalaught against the aaloons in Atlanta. All thla week men carrying pointed . bannera have marched up and down the main atreeta of the city. All manner of sarcasms are included in the eigne. "Drink Booae and Let the Doctor Walt" "Vote for the Reddy Saloon Amendment and Make Your Boy a Drunkard." Thee and a score or more of similar inscrip tions have been waved in the facea of passersby so that It is doubtful if there are any voters who have not noticed them. - The campaign assumed a humeroua aspect thla morning when tha saloon Interests woke up. To make the banners more conspicuous the ant Is engaged two bass drummers to go along ana make a noise. One led the procession and the other brought up the rear. Immediately following came a bunch of saloon men carrying such signs aa, "Huah little Bar room, don't you cry;- You'll be a drug store by and by." and "Drink Peruna, it is fine." . Thesa saloon banners followed the antls everywhere they went and it waa especially funny to see the procession wending its way past the Y. M. C. A. building, the typical bar-room habltnea right in line with the aacetlc and digni fied looking; temperance workers. Seaside House Open. N. F.
