to aell above lTttc. and several receiv
ers accepted this rigure, w nus m -
r)m a no Inla am hlah Hi ltUO Was ob
tained during the past 24 hours tha
price In general scarcely ranges above
18o. The tendency of the. market la
downward, and there 1 a possibility
that some lots will again be put into
storage.
. Much Mystery Regarding Butter.
Creamery butter stand In a Very
Mv.tarlnna niultlnn. While oitV Cream-
' erlea say they are able to sell all their
production, and the outside makers of
goods claim likewise It is stated that
Armour has been a buyer of butter for
northern shipment, despite me reports
of a lower market from there. The re
ceipts of cream at thla time are among
' the heaviest of the season, and yet the
market, can not by any meani be. con
sidered weak. For the past week the
cream arrivals here will average over
T.000 gallons, the 8.000 gallon marie Al
most being; reached today.
.' r : Buying Cheese for the Worth.
While the local cheese market can
scarcely be considered even steady, the
northern cities' are again coming- into
the market. Today one local firm re
ceived an order for 200 cases from one
party in the north. Supplies were suf
ficiently liberal that the shipments can
scarcely be missed, and there Is little
likelihood at the moment pt upward
movement in prices.
. : Chicken lCarket. looks Baa,
The tone In the chicken market is
far from being satisfactory to either
the receivers i or shippers. Of course
buyers are well satisfied with the sit
uation, and. are taking their time in
ma kin ir nurrihaaea Twelve cents seems
to be the top of the market even, for
fiens, unless extra lancy. a lew cooow
of turkeys arrived, ana found a good
demand because of the general scarcity
in this line. Sales at 17c a pound for
live birds.
v strawberries gearoe and High.
Strawberries were .even scarcer thaa
yesterday during the trading; of today.
Beat valley and Hood River stock sold
at 12.50 a crate, and buyers grabbed
II everything' In- stent. ven the poorer
pi, grades at, a fractional reduction, from
I J thls. The cooler weather will, check the
arrivals again.
Bananas Prom All Directions.
i I From a period of famine the Port-
iand and other Pacific northwest? mar
Lets are now to show a, glut of ba
nanas. Today three cars arrived early
in the morning over the Southern Pa
cific, and several more cars are due
tonight over the O. R. aV N., being a
"rerouting of Northern Paclflo shipment
because of flood conditions.
Lemon continue to strengthen in
tone, and some are - again asking ad
vanced ouotatlnns.
A carload of tomatoes arrived from
Texas, and half was distributed in this
city and half went to the Puget sound
markets. Sales being made at 12 per
four crate basket.
Millfeads Hold Terr rirm.
. While the supply of grass is better,
there is no diminishing of call for mill
feeds, and prices are holding stiff at
-the .highest price in years. Millers are
not willing to talk of the future, for
they say everything depends upon the
flour situation.
Editor Leo Peterson of the Portland
Commercial Review gives the following
view of the situation in feeds:
"Contrary to expectations of buyers,
feed prices remain around the highest
of the winter, and it la practically cer
tain that values will hold up until new
wheat is at the mills and the output of
feedstuff a has been Increased. ' Buyers
hoped for weeks that increased pastur
age would bring lower feed values, but
jpasturage is almost as plentiful as it
will be at any time tnts summer. In
stead .of lowering prices, 'millers have
held firmly on bran and shorts, and
nave advanced, middlings. . There is
considerable speculation as to what
prices will be when new wheat comes,
but so many contingencies may arise
and so many known factors must be
considered that it would be a guess of
the rankest kind to attempt to name
new crop figures. Feed prices will de
pend first upon what flour prices will
. ow on uib now urup. . 1 no lucrtrneiru qui
nut if there is one. will cut a figure.
but most millers do not anticipate that
xoera win u any sucn aecrease in
prices aa the trade seem to think there
will be. One of the best posted millers
says he believes the mills will not, on
the. average, run over three quarters
capacity on the new crop of wheat,, and
that the increased outnut of feed will
be easily taken car of, and that there
will be no .decline In values of more
than $2 or $3, and probably not. that
much." '
Front street sells at the following
prices. Those paid shippers are less

" District ' Fruit Commissioner James
H. Rei.t is. authority for the statement
that but two counties in the Willamette
valley will produce good cherry crops
this season Lane ana Marion. Mr. Reid
told Tho- journal this morning that
weather conditions have beeM against
the ripening of the cherries except-in
these two sections. In Lane and Marion
the growers . were given sunshine : and
plenty of it and were crying for rain
while in other sections they were having
too much rain and were simply de
lighted to receive a peep or two of the
wm-.yv.y; , v..v.:
H. P.. McFwen, a member of the com
mission ' firm of McEwen & Koskey,
brought-The Journal a sample of his
cherries grown in the. vicinity of Mount
Tabor. The fruit was of the Royal Ann
variety and was in the poorest shape
teen for many years. Sizes were small
nd because of the recent long spe'i of
cold weather and lack of sunshine the
trees did not receive sufficient sap. Mr,
McEwen states that the cherries of that
entire section are in the same condition.
The same is true of other sections in
side and adjoining the city. ,
Milton. Or., June 12. The first har
vest of alfalfa hay is on in full blast
near here, and farmers report a very
satisfactory - crop. A large district is
given to the production of nay, and over
tOO carloads of the product were sent
out last year. In addition to, the local
supply. , Three or four crops are har
vested each year, according to the
length of the season, and land produces
from six to ten tops per acre.
Garfield, 'Wash., June 12. The fruit
croo here will be the laraest ever, ap
ple, prune, plum, cherry and pear trees
are already bent down by the weight of
rruit. xne weatner is deiigntrm and
the farmers are happy over the great
prospects.
The farmers are well organised and
will handle the wheat themselves to a
great - extent this . season. Farmers'
unions have been organized throughout
tne ontire iengtn ana oreaatn or the en
tire vn-heat belt and the middleman will
he almost entirely -"cut out" of the busi
ness from this on. The farmers are
now talking of arranging for . ware
houses at tide . water to keen grain
stored there as well as in the wheat
growing districts. The Palouse farm
ers have all become rich the past 10
years and are abundantly able to do
anything tney eecide upon.

A shaggy pony, two small boys and
Deputy Sheriff N. H. Bird' were the
principals in a three-cornered argument
at the front of the courthouse this
morning. Mr. Bird was called to the
street by the appearance In the sheriff's
office, of an agitated youngster, about
12 years of age, w,ho said he ad bought
a pony on the Installment plan, paying
$3 down, but, lost the pony, or It had
been stolen. The other boy was out
side with the pony, and he wanted
something done, ,
As it happened, MrJ Bird was already
well Informed concerning the hlstoryof
that particular bit of horseflesh. The
pony was a neighbor of the Bird family
cow, end sometimes ate the bovlna's
feed. So Mr. Bird went to the street
and conducted an informal examination
of the two boys.
t It appears that Archie McCoy, who

WillBe Kept Secret
Until Served.
Six indictments, one of them a land
fraud case, were returned to the United
States' district court this morning by
the grand jury, which has been In ses
sion during the last three weeks.
Seven Indictments in. the Umaitilla
land fraud cases were returned last
Monday. One of the indictments today
is against a person whom it Is claimed
has been mixed up In some of the larger
land fraud deals,- Owing to the fact

servedV
The other indlctmonts, with the ex
ception of that on Mrs. Ragan, former
assistant postmistress at Royston, and
the land grabber, are of less import
ance and relate to charges made tn the
different departments of the govern
ment in carrying out the laws of the
country.
The grand jury still has considerable
work on hand, snd will be In teesslon
another week, possibly, and it might be
that the tasks will not be completed for
10 days or two weeks.
Warrants for the arrest of the per
sons against whom Indictments have
been returned have been Issued, and
the defendants will enter pleas to the
court as they are brought in by the

to Mike Martel for 33 down., the total
price being $14.90. After a tlmethe
pony strayed away and was picked up
by an expressman named Ivereon.
Martel quit paying on the animal after
he lost It, but finally he and Iveraon
were brought together. Iverson charged
the-youngster $7 for keeping the pony
several months. Then McCoy came on
the scene and resumed possession, be
cause Martel had defaulted on his in
stallments. ' McCoy said he was willing to let
Martel finish paying, but until then he
will keep the pony. Martel was ad
vised to go to Iverson and demand the
return of his $7, as Iverson had no right
to charge without posting an estray
notice. With this $7 he will be able to
resume his payments on the coveted

hicle ordinance subjects them to a
double tax.
The present proceedings are based
on the finding of Judge Oantenbein.
The -cases will come up before Judge
Cameron tomorrow morning.
BAD TOOTH GIVES
BL0DGETT FRESH AIR
For the first time In 27 months,
George L. Blodgett, who is in the coun
ty jail awaiting a second trial on the
charge of murder, yesterday set foot
outside the building and breathed the
outdoor air. The bright light of the
afternoon sun daxzled his eyes, and he
staggered for a moment as he reached
the pavement outside. Then, as he saw
the broad iawn that stretches away
from the Jail door' he became for a mo
ment a boy again, and wished that he
might be permitted to roll, care-free,
on the grassy surface.
Thla summer will make the third that
has rolled around since Blodgett hai
been behind the bars. From his cell he
could see the green leaves come on the
trees, and could see them go. He could
see the Lenox hotel as It grew above
the second story across the Plaza. But
the beauty of things outside, the real
ization of the difference that only a
few years makes in a growing city, did
not come to him with full force until
yesterday, when two sturdy deputy
sheriffs accompanied him down town.
0One of the reasons for his brief ex
cursion outside the bars was a trouble
pome tooth. For the extraction of this
tooth and the transaction of some other
business he was granted permission to
Fut his foot outside the prison for the
.Irst time since he heard the door
clang behind him, over two years ago.
One of Blodgett's chief diversions in
hi. n.ll tm that r? Ml.ln klt. I

are there canaries that receive better
care. Frequently they break forth in
song and help to dispel the gloom of
wnat would otnerwise oe a cheerless
day.
A few days ago It was decided that
Blodgett cannot be tried before next
fall, because of the congestion of the
docket. His cse had been set for this
week, and his attorney sought to save
his client spending another summer in
Jail. Once he was sentenced to be
hanged, his crime being the killlnar nf
Alice MInthom, a variety actress, but
the supreme court reversed the, rant.
ani ordered that he be given a new
trial.
