l rota to Trade a that wt;
i THille Oregon ha a a very email crop
; of potatoes this year of elf grades and
, a very limited amount of real fancy
, quality, there la a hitch In transactions
between buyer and eellera. and for that
reason local arrivals are scant. Even
tlie demand from the south has de
creased, and while the markets there
are openly quoting; practically the same
old figures of last week. It la a notice
able fact that they are not renins; the
' prices. Several shipments from here to
fcan KranoUro recently find a. lack of
buyers because of the enormous offer
ln of their local river stock, which Is
stated by all to te im otn qu.1117 mv

xni for mftnv a vear. Then, too, the
crop along the rivers Is heavy, although
other aeciiops or tuurw
short yield.
,' Srinrlar Blears Into Portland.
' The recent arrival here of a carload
, Miiiinu fmm California really
meant more than the mere receipt of
the car. To the trade it meant the be
ginning of regular shipment from the
, south wltn tneir lower pricea. uuio ur
eal producers brought In sufficient sup
nllpn ! a reasonable price to fill the
wants of the trade. It Is exceedingly
hard even at this time to secure any
great- quantity of potatoes In eastern
Iultnomah or eastern Clackamas under
f 1, and this price' buyers consider ex
1'Mnlvt and will not pay It. On the
other hand, producers are of the opln
" Ion that potatoes will go higher which
they will likely do late in the. spring
because of the great shortage in the

. Mistaken as .efrarde. Colorado Crop.
- That Colorado has a larger crop of
. potatoes than a year ago seems cer
oain from present reports. Early stl-
ma tea were that Colorado would turn
" out a small crop this season, but the
. latest Information is showing just the
ireverse. The Greeley , (Colo.) corre-
mondent of the Denver Record states
that according to the statements
'Professor K. K. Bennett, potato expert
of the State Agricultural college, Colo
rado will have a bumper crop of pota-
toes this year. An estimate or tne out
nut of the district for this , year
rather difficult to make, but Judging
" from the past it is safe to predict that
,lt will not be far from 10,000 to JJ.000
- f ..care. - 1
. . While the increase at Greeley Is con
- .elderable. the large increase of the Colo
irado croo over previous years will come
jirora the mountain districts of the
state. Reports from the Roaring Pork
'and Grand valleys, the Uncompaahgre
and the Han Luis indicate a very marked
Increase. Last year the Denver & Rio
. Grande Railroad eompany shipped from
these valleys a total of 1,800 cars of
' potatoes. This year they are planning
to handle 4.500 cars, or more tnan twice
as many as any previous year.,
1 1 Short Crop Elsewhere.
Referring to the above, the corre
spondent says that the Increase In pro
- : ductlon of potatoes in Colorado need not
Triahten the erowers into selling st
low orice. Within the past few days
the Colorado experiment station has re
ceived letters from Maine, Connecticut,
Mew York. Pennsylvania. Ohio. Michl-
s;an. Wisconsin, Minnesota," Iowa, Indi
ana,. Illinois and Oregon concerning the
: potato crop in these states., All of them
except Maine and Minnesota show a
marked shortage In crop, owing to ad
verse weather conditions. Soma of these
report as low as 60 Mr cent of a crop,
and several of them only from 60 to 70
per cent of a crop. When we consider
that these states in a normal year pro
dues 195,000,000 bushels, we see the
shortage in the United States is far
more than Colorado may hope to pro
duce tor many years to come.
Improvement la Chickens.
There Is somewhat of an Improve
ment In the'tone of the local; chicken
market. Supplies are not nearly so lib
eral, and the smaller buyers have been
forced to pay an advance of from c
to 1c a pound over the iow quotations
of last week. At the new prices the
market will not stand very heavy ar
rivals, and a return of last week's heavy
'shipments would simply .cause another
break in values.
- Eggs are holding firm, with practi
cally all -sales of local fresh at this

selling at 28c to 30c; the latter for best
quality. Another car of eastern stock

There was a weaker tone In the cash
wheat market here' today, owing to the
indifference of foreigners to take hold
of supplies. While no change is noted
In cash or future wheat values, the for
mer market may safely be considered lc
lower, because buyers are not disposed
to purchase at the higher figures, which,
however, are still being quoted.
There was a further showing.- of
strength in the barley market In the
south today, but locally the situation is
showing no change from yesterday,
when values advanced. The cash situa
tion here is somewhat firmer, and buy

A heavy run of hogs locally during the

The total run of hogs In the yards
during the 24 hours reached 900 bead
compared with 460 yesterday and 636
for. this same day a year ago. While
the eastern market Is showing no change
for the 'day the former decline there
was much more severe than here and
our prices even now after the decline
of today are above those ruling else
where. Cattle Weakea Suddenly.
Owing- to the heavy shipments that
killers are bringing In from the moun
tain ranges there is a sndden change
of sentiment regarding cattle values.
While best steers are still quoted as
high as $4.26 the general run will not
bring that- figure.
Sheep market shows a continuation of
the very, small run. and while oackers
are bringing in some of their contracted
stuff the market stands In a very good
position, although prices are showing no
change for the day.
What the Dealers Bay.
Mr. Benson of Benson & Gould:
"Hogs sre off about 26c today on ac
count of the larger supplies, but the
movement will likely be larger at the
new prices. Cattle are holding about

Lee M. Lacv of Hunt Lacv: "Cat

cause of the filled condition of packers'
pens iney are not disposed 10 Did so
nigh. There is some weakness In all
trades. Hogs are quoted about 26c
ower today with the top at $.60."
J. C. Lenelgan: "There Is a heavy
run of steers, and cattle of all kinds
are weaker. Hoars are lower with the
bulk of the best stuff going around
$8.60 and the highest price around
$6.60."
J. E. Reynolds of Condon came in
with eight load of cattle for the mar

BAKER CITY GROWS AS PORTLAND
LOSES DENIZENS OF NORTH END
If Baker City keeps on growing as
fast as It has since Mayor Lane's re
form crusade began, tha citizens of that
bustling Inland city will have cause to
boast of the most rapid increase- In
population that has been noted In that
section of Oregon since the primeval
red man roamed the woods. It is Safe
to say. thouah. that Baker will not ad
vertise this sudden growth for the new
Inhabitants are of the class declared
undesirable In Portland.
What the loadstone is no one will
say. but it Is a fact that the- -eastern
Oregon town is attracting the greater
part of the women who have found It
necessary to leave the Rose City.
Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin says that more,
than half the north end denizens have
left the city. The other half Is 'com
fortably ensconced In various quarters
of town and are continuing to make a
living as usual. About the only friends
they have since the banishment edict,
became effective are the faithful "ad-3
vertlslng agents" who were with them
In prosperity and who now In self-defense
continue to solicit for them in
their new places of business. The card
system prevails and the women find It
an easy matter to continue at the old
trade, the only dlfferenca being that
wine and song at least song has been
eliminated. The orofitabla dnllar-bnar
sideline has also been destroyed..
Mrs. Baldwin, who haa twrnn Ahtna
her best to help the exiles, says that It
Is Impossible for a woman to reform' In,
Portland. As an example she gives the
experience of one girl who came to her
and asked for' help. Mrs. Baldwin ob-,
tained a position for the . girl as a
waitress in a boarding-house. Before '
the evening of the first day the boarding-house
proprietress was called to one
side by a man who told her of the for
mer occupation of her new etnploye.
The woman was very indienant. Call
ing the girl out in the hall she sum
marily dismissed her and did not even
Day her for the day's work. The elrl
will, leave for Baker City.

SLEUTHS WANT WITNESS FEES
FOR MARTIN CASE TESTIMONY n
Two of Portland's city detective have
asked tha county for a week.' wages be
cause they testified for a few minutes
in th Martin case and spent the re
mainder of seven days hanging around
the courtroom. . Thy are Tichenor and
Hellyer. They-were brought as wit
nesses Dy tne state in tne Martin inat.
juotn lienyer ana -ricnenor nv speni
a great deal of time around tne court
house corridors talkina- with bystanders
regarding tne outcome 01 tne iriai ana
the probable, conviction Of the mah
charged with th-crime.
For th time spent In "watching tha
corridors" they ask th county to psy
them. Tichenor claims and took an
oath to It that he had to come eight miles
dally from and .to - his home at 814
Woodlawn- avenue, and Hellyer swore
that It waa aix miles from his home at
416 San Rafael street to the courthouse
and back again. Each of them has put
in a claim for aeven elays' time spent in
their effort to convict Martin. One of
them wants $14.40 and tha other asks
for $14.30.
Their oath Is entered In the court
records but whether they will draw
down this money while they are at the
same time paid a salary from the city
remains for the county commissioners
to decide. .-
The matter of city officers and de
tectives accepting witness fees waa
taken up some time ago and- it waa
understood that as it waa Dart of tha
duty of the man who arrested a man
charged with a crime to testify against
him the ' detectives should not re
ceive witness fees. However, the under
standing did not last long and th names
of many detectives may be seen on th
court records as having turned in olatma
for witness fees during tha last few .
months.
