r.A,.nH Rhlnmeots from southern Ore-
f'On are Increasing somewhat, although
t Is not believed the total output this
season will be more than three quarters
that of a year ago. Borne reports tell
of a half make.
More Weakness In Xgg-s Shown.
While some parties having eastern
eggs to sell are trying to again boost
the price of local stock or, In other
words, place a falsa value on the home
product in order to sell their eastern
stocks at greater nrofits, the Front
' street egg market is showing decided
weakness and those who do a regular
local egg business state their Inability
to move them all above 24c. although
ome In a while a fractionally higher
value Is nsked.
Poultry market Is very
moment, but no change is
yesterday's cut niintntlons.
Pressed meats are holding quit firm
at former prices.
Brief Votes of the Trade.
Peach supplies are still scarce.
Po great are sup piles or cucumoers
that some sulci; were reported late yes
terday as low as 2fc a box.
Fancy cherries are scarce and the
market Is firm.
Tomato market is down another
notch today with larger supplies.
On Saturday the advance of 40c a
case on Tarnation milk goes Into er
feet and the trade is standing on tip
toes to be the first to see, what new de
velopments occur In the canned milk
market. The fact that several new
braflds of canned milk have entered the
market at lower prices of lnte has fur
ther oompllcated the situation.

unchanged.

olted and on the board of trade today
91o was bid for bluestem with no one
willing to sell. The market for cash

In the price being offered and those who
have early deliveries to make are try
ng their utmost to purchase around
84(1860 for club, track Portland, but In
order to further excite the growers and
cause them to hold for awhile some buy
ers are offering as high as 89o for club
but they are purchasing but small sup-
piles tnemseives.
On the board of trade today Beptem
ber wheat held firm at 86o bid but both
the bill and ask price for December was
lc a busnei lower.
The outlook for the local flour price
on new crop is. most encouraging and
nstead of showing a sharp decline from
present values on old, the market Is
Ikely to go up. Old flour looks hlgh-
ir and there Is already talk among
makers of advancing the price because
of the unusual high price for wueau
Oats was advanced on the board or

soil Is light From $0 to 81 bushels
per acre Is the reported yield, whereas
th famous reservation lands nearer
Pendleton are yielding ao more, and
many of the, fields are falling below $6
bushels per acre. In the Athena dis
trict the averace la from in tn 11
bushels, and a few fields have turned
out 40 bushels per acre. Ideal weather
for harvest has been In order since
threshing began.
Only a few sales of wheat have been'
reported here, though the price for No.
1 has reached 76c. The growers are
low In selling, and believe that they
will be able to get In the neighborhood
of 80c by holding a whlln longer.
Two carloads of wheat have Just
been taken out of Umatilla county, and
the shipment was the first one of naw
wheat this season. The wheat belonged
to W. W. Raymond of VValln Walla,
and was taken from here. Home few
ales are being made In Umatilla coun
ty each day. but no extensive sales
will be made until later.
Condon. Or.. Julyk 81. The first load
of now wheat came to town Tuesday,
oonslstlng of 119 sacks, which were
handled by the Pacific Coast Flevator
company or this city. There Is much
rivalry among tne various warehouse
men Of this locality for the distinction
of having stored or purchased the first
of the new wheat. The first load came
from the farm of William Ebbert and
was of the 40-fold variety. ('.
F. Kennedy, the manager of the
warehouse, declared It a splendid
milling wheat of fine color and of good
Quality. The yield of that farm was
about 25 bushels to the acre, or 11
sacks to the acre. It tested 6im.

(United Press Led Win. I
Wetser, Idaho, July SI. Fire was
discovered about 1:30 this morning In
the lintel Vendome, a brick building
of 80 rooms, one Of the largest build
ings in the city. The fira was In a
room occupied by the Japanese cook-
By prompt work on the part of the fire
department the firs was extinguished,
doing damage to the amount of only
$600. When the room was enterud the
cook was found dead on the floor, lie
had been suffocated by smoke and was
ladly burned about the arms and head,
though not sufficiently to cause death.
It Is thought the cook had been drink
ing and was smoking when he went to
bod and, going to sleep, had set the
bedding on fire. He was fully dressed
when found. The Hotel Vendome Is in
the heart of the business portion of the
olty. A serious fire would have resulted
but for the prompt action by which It
was got undor control.

Vancouver, Wah., July $1. Van
couver has seen her last game of Trl
CUy baseball this season. In fact. It Is
rumored In some quarters that the Trl-
Clty league will never be a reality again.
The game last Sunday, which was full
of misunderstandings, was the straw
that broke the camfcl s back.
When the season opened in this city
the games on Sunday were well patron
ised, and were fairly well supported up
to last Sundsy. Although the local
stockholders. It Is said, made a profit,
the team management ran behind and It
Is stated on what appears to be good
authority that the manager has been
forced to put up a considerable sum to
pay current bins Under the arrange
ment this sason the stockholders re
ceived the receipts of th granostand
and a percentage of the gate rr-ceipta
This worked wrtl until the local fsr.a
began to call for better players and the
management at last i-rnt conl1rbl
money In making the team cme of the
best la the league, it standi sg a good
show to win the pennant should there
a any awarded.
Just whet will be dona with the ball

by a passing resident who woka up en

The stairway was out off bv tha blaso

The reason they have different name
