There wm a smaller run of all grades or livestock In the local yard during the past week, but ' nevertheless the tune wn not ao firm generally and In , some instance a lower range of values wee me outcome. Hog prices suffered during the past week because of the lower rang in. the east, Portland values have been fol lowing 'the fluctuation of the outside markets fur several weeks and the ad vane east of the Rookies were quickly jfut Into effect here. With Pacific coast packers buying the bulk of their hog supplies in the Nebraska markets, ow ' Ing to their Inability to' secure u(TI- clent numbers In this ' territory. H I quite natural therefore that prices snouia te made accordingly. For the past 10 days there has been a noticeable uneasiness In the eastern price of hogs and finally values began to urea rignt Hna lert, tms Drought about a reaction In this market during the week and Portland hog prices lost 25o as a result A week ago It "was quite easy to obtain $7.25 for the best , (trade of heavy hogs hogs that were rierfeetly smooth but this week netti ng over 7 was allowed except perhaps for one or two sales. The run at hogs in the local yards for the six days to taled 1,687 head, compared with 1,14 a week ago, 701 a year ago and 801 for .a same week two years ago. Cattle Xkss and Than Keg-sin. A loss of SEc In the price of best steers was quickly regained the very next day in the local yards during the past week. While arrivals were not nearly aa liberal a week ago, packers were Inclined to be bearish on the steer situation for a while, but they got over their case of sulks In a very short time and are again paying former top levels, For the week a total of 919 head of cat tle arrived, compared with 1,354 last week and 1,030 a year ago. From the present outlook the steer market will hold around present 'values until the grass movement comes to an end. Cattlemen are such free offerers of grass cattle that the market cannot possibly do better until this 1 ter minated. Then when stall-fed stuff be gins to come a better value may be ex ported. In this connection tho high price of mlllfeeds is making things In teresting for this winter's feeders. Mlll stuffs are at record-breaking values and irmv go higher. Alfalfa meal Is coming to the front and may be used as a sub stitute by many feeders this winter. ; Sheep Market Is Very Firm. A very firm tone Is shown In the sheep market because of the very lim ited supplies offered In, the yards dur ing the past week. In all but U30 head arrived. This compares with 1,480 a week ago and -1, 951 head for this same wesk a year ago. Values In the yards are showing practically no change. The following views of the market are expressed by the leading livestock commission" men: Benson & Gould Hogs are holding quite well considering everything. Cat tle are firm: likewise sheep. Hunt & Lacy Cattle market Is in good shape and the decline In hogs this week was expected. J. C. Lonlegan The hog market is about 26c lower all around for the past week. Present outlook is for a contin uation of theso values. Yard's Representative Sales.

COMING WINTER TO MARK HIGH' POINT OF DISTRESS Chicago's Reign' qi Terror to Be Explained in Part by Desperation of Workless Workers Worst to Come Policeman Talks From Inside. By Johiu H Latbrop. Chicago, Oct 10. Twenty thousand children go to school hungry every morning; 10,000 go to school without breakfast, and about as many mothers abstain from eating that their little ones may break their fast In the morn Jng. Official report to this effect has been made by the Chlcag school board. No denial has been offered; all action fol lowing that Vupefyln disclosure has been predicated on the accuraoy of. the assertions. HolduDs are of dally occurrence In the residential districts. It would be difficult to exaggerate this condition. When I went to-live on the north side here, during my stay In Chicago, I was warned by every one: "Don't carry money with you, more than a few dollars; it Is better to have a fw dollars, else the robbers will beat you In their rage." In my boarding house two men have been held up In a few weeks; across the street two others. All along these residential streets it is the same. And it is within' a foot ball kirk of the mansion of the weslthv McCormiaks and tho others oX their class. The beautiful boulevard along the shore of Lake Michigan, exceeding in charm anythtlng I ever have seen. Is not a safe resort after ausg. except where masses of people congregate holdups are quite as common as the coming of the davs. The charity publication of the city has suspended the funds devoted to retting it out will be used to buy bread for the hungry. The Polio Sergeant's Story. "What Is the use of glossing over these facts? a police sergeant said to me. N bat is tne use of closing our yes to tne tnitnr "What is the reason for all of thtsT" asked. "Well, with the understanding that this Is between us, I will answer. I have talked with men we hare arrested for holding up people. Ton would be surprised to learn that many of them we find to have been working men, who It has oeen proved, nave lootceo lor lobs.' The general agreement among this class ts that they hsr been robbed of rrt of their fruits of toll In the past, are new thrown-out of work from no fault of theirs." was th an swer. Just Uk the 3Xirbr-rp. ' "They said In" many Instance that the people bad bees told that Mgher , tip bum nee men bad been entity ef wrongful practices ef po many kinds that they decided hat they had the tight, to go out and collect what hsl fceen wit held frn themj in the past"! Th's rwilf rgrt thp went on i relet how a rnn who had been sprr ently in honest worker. hd a fantl. had (met his Jn bis wife and little me were hangrr, end he slmplr weM eit tc res ta a dwelling boum and was kilted hr tHe owner. Xoa t sdrit 1 tMt I aa. saris ( f ' - that, these men are right." the polices man said. "I don't do any such thing: I merely am explaining how these men look on things. I can note the differ ence between them and the habitual crook; we know them well, and all por lleemen know them. I am referring to H.uomer ciass or men, wno naven t De fore been criminals. I'm In a state of mind over these disclosures, you may be sure." Never Bnoh Distress Before. Chrrlty workers here say that the coming winter will witness suffering, the like of which has not been seen in the past. They affirm that little im provement has taken place so far In the Industrial conditions, and many say that talk of much betterment is actually political. One of them said: "One scarcely dares to tell the truth in these matters. .If he did, he would be written down as a knocker. But facts are facta, and I see nothing to it but intense suffering among the hon- Y",n',"K vinna. a uuii i rnn w inn m. The club meets every ait' provident people, who always are short j Wednesday, beginning Poptemb of money. These we have always with i Thirty minutes Ts given at every u. Din mere 18 a large numoer or people who want work and cannot get it, and these will be on our hands the coming winter: In fact, many of them now are on our lists.'' I may say in all earnestness that per sonal observation In 11 slates this summer and fall, accompanied by con stant inquiry, has convinced me that Chicago's condition is but Illustrative of the conditions everywhere In the cities. I was told in New York, espe cially, that the "bread lines" are larger man ever before, and that 200.000 men are out of work there. It mav sound like "knocking." It is mv earnest con viction. As the police sergeant hero ! saio: -What's the use of glossing over these facta?" URINO tho past week Portland has been the hostess of the state so- clety of one of the oldest woman's organisations' In thta country, and on that has grown to such pro portion that the tun never seta upon ha Insignia the knot of white ribbon. The. Woman's Christian Temperanoe Union of today la the evolution of va rious temperance societies that began a oentory ago. and was crystallised Into perfect form and methodical, system atlsed work under Francis Wlllard. one of the areatest woman the world has ever Known. The meeting the past wk marked the ' twenty-fifth anniversary of tho state organisation of uregon. it was largely attended, but It Is ueedless to say the personnel has almost wholly changed Slnoe that first enthusiastic meeting a quarter or a century ago. Here and there, however, might be aen a time-worn, yet beautiful, faoe, crowned with the silvery glory of well spent years. The reminiscences which, from lime to time, punctuated the pro grain exercises were most Illuminating, while later victories lent a clarion note to all the proceedings. A very pretty Incident of the opening exercises was a rift of 15 silver dollars from the Pro hibitionists of the city. The presenta tion was during the fraternal greeting of T. 8. McDuniels, who said among many bright and appropriate thlnpu, that the "iron lfl," wishing to show their appreciation of the help and support of tho W. C. T. U. tendered them a little bouquet of 26 buds, which he hoped would add to the welcome they extended the convention. . At this point Lee Pagett cams' forward with a small silver tray on which were piled the 25 new and shining sli ver dollars. The meetings were all held in the Taylor Street Methodist church, where the organisation nad us Dirtn. The nul- Fit was beautifully decorated with white lowers and 'green foliage, while loons and knots.of white ribbon were In great profusion. The most conspicuous thing upon the platform was the beautiful Filctura of Miss 'Wlllard, burled almost n fjloom of purest tint and draped with the Insignia she loved. The four days' program was long and full, but every number worked in beautiful har mony and consequently an Immence amount of work and entertainment was accomrjllahed. Manv women of prom inence were present from various partslsltlon of the state, and tae reports iney brought . encouraged the women to go forward) with j tho work tney navo un dertaken.

None of these are "flying visits." for In each the traveler tarries to examine Its art. Its literature. Its history and its natural features. The most blssa club woman can well feel amaxed at such programs for a club not vet a year old and only the experienced can appreciate what this thoroughness and fine start means, not alone to the club, but to the entire community. The State Federation Is certainly to be congratulated upon its latest acqul- n n W fjoldemlthi membership. Mra Ben Neu stadter; siwlal.

Aside .from the office she held which wotild nocensurlly bring her into prominence, a marked flgur at the con vention was the president. Mrs. Henri etta Brown of Albany. Mrs. Brown is a handsome woman of distinguished personality; with a fine and gentle face and bearing, she nevertheless gives the observer the Impression that there Is silent force and much dignity behind this placid exterior. The busiest per son, perhaps, at the convention was Mrs. Ada Wallace Unruh, the corre sponding secretary, who, with charac teristic energy, took hold of the business end of things and fairly made them hum. Another notable figure was Mrs. Shane, the treasurer, who was one of the few enhrter members of the state nrn nidation and throuirh sunshine and stress has stood faithfully at the helm, and with sound and conservative advice has helped to guide the organization over many a dangerous place. Mrs. Marsters of Roseburg, tho recording secretary, and Miss Frances ootscnan, her assistant, were well known and wel come at the convention, and their long terms of service testify to the efficiency of their work. , , During the week many smaii social affairs were arranged, wnicn ronowea an elaborate reception tendered the of ficers, delegates and their friends by Mrs. O.

It was president's day, and the program of the day was almost wholly social with the exception of making the preliminary arrange ments for starting the year's work. It was a delightful reunion and Mrs. Jackson's hospitality was most graci ous and generous. At this meeting the new year-books were given out. It is the same dainty creation In the club colors violet and white as that of several previous years, with the exception, we believe, of a little variation In size which brings it nearer the size recommended by the General Federation, of which this club is one of the few that hold Individual membership in. The club again takes -up the study of English literature, though It is a liberal In terpretation of the subject which con siders! historical and political events that have led up to producing It. This vear the club begins the Vic torian period, considering such authors as Jane Austin, Charles Dlfftens, Thack eray Meredith. Charlotte Vlronte Trol lope. Klngsley, C aarles Reade. George Eliot, Bulwer-Lvtton, Thomas Hardy and Ilpbert Louis Stevenson. April 13 will be lecture day. It has been the practice since this club was organized to have one lecture at, or near, the close of the club year on the subject which the club has been studying and by some well known au thority upon It, but it has not been the custom to announce the speaker until a short time before the meeting.

Our ribbon white for purity and love, Gleams forth with message for th world's great need; A mute appeal for God and things above, A gospel not of creed, but loving deed. Prom homes where prohibition's godly swav. Brings Joy and blessing, and a relglu VI love, Tou come to us who toll 'mid sin's dark way. And courage give and faith In God above. Tour lives, your faith, your prayers, a blessing bring; In council sweet, we'll plan for com ing years; f And faith and courage In our hearts will sing; We'll, see the bo- of promise e'en through tears, With grateful heart of victory we'll sing Of triumph over crime and sin and shame. Through Oregon we'll prohibition ring. And build up Gods dear kingdom in his name. O, loyal hearts, on such as tou Is laid The burden of the world's vast need and woe; The master sends you forth, be not afraid; Tour faith and strength will overcome the foe. Our leaders bravo who tolled "mid hopes and fears And sacrifice, have passed beyond our sight, But they, with us, review tho fruitful years; They wait the harvest In aupernal light. Face of those we loved appear tonight, And visions of tha time that yet shall be: They speak of God's eternal love and might; When all the world from sin shall be set 'free. AT SEVENTH AND ALDER STS.
