,'' Increased production of strawberries
' at local points and heavier arrivals from
' the souta have brought, about Mower
prices here, although the Tprice changes
are still very small' Mlood River was
today offering berries there at 18.80
" per crate, a decline of 60a from the
. price, asked during the, past few .days.
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

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

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:

from yesterday.
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.

With v tba - exception of a fractional
rainfall in scattered sections in Idaho,
weather conditions throughout the Pa
cific northwest wheat belts were ex
cellent during the past 24 hours. 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. Sargent, the well known ca
terer and hotel man, has taken charga
of the Seaside houae at Seaside, Ore
gqn, . and It is now open to entertain
Its guests. A new feature this year
is the running of the trains to Holiday
station which is very close to the ho
tel. The house is thoroughly revovatnd
and the cuisine, which will be made a
chief factor, will be an attraction such
as Mr. Sargent alone knows how. For
rates and reservations apply to Nichols
