Looks XJke Good Spring geason.
' According to special advices received
bv The Journal from varioua Interests,
the prospects are bright for very good
seaBon on the Columbia during the
spring run. The delay in opening the
Columbia season on account or tne jaw
passed, by the late legislature, Is said
to Insure a better catch when the aea
son does start. ' .
8o far as the markets are concerned,
the salmon situation could scarcely open
with better prospects than seem appar
ent at this time. In all world s con
ters canned salmon supplies are limited
and prices have therefore ruled better
than usual. While It is still rather
early to say that the Columbia river
canned salmon market will open at this
spring, there. Is considerable agitation
among the canners to put the price 10
higher than a year ago, when values for
Columbia fish were not placed as high
as they should have been.
Eggs r Inner and Higher.
The rapid approach of Easter and
the anticipation of a very liberal de
mand for eggs, coupled with the con
tinued liberal withdrawals or .supplies
by the north, has forced tha egg- market
from fcc to lo higher along Front
street and today sales are being made
. - wAl1A Almir at anil
ile. with most of the transactions
around JUie.
" Prospects ' rot Chicken Prices.
That this will be a very good week
for the- sale of chickens is the opinion
of practically every commission man
alone- Front street today. Tha Easter
holiday and the Jewish festivals are ex
mftA tn nail forth a very liberal de
mand for' aupplies arid some interests
expect a fractional advance over the
present high prices. ,

nominal so far as the trading la con-

much difficulty in selling their high
priced flour, while producers who still
have aupplies of wheat an hand do not
seem to want to sell and there la no
tailing -whan they will let go.
Recent aales of wheat in a mall lots
at primary points have brought record
breaking values, but the transactions
have not stunned millers, because they

640 head appearing. The late weakness
in the hog price east nas rouna a re

In Numbers.
' Eugene, Or., April I. Eugene's an
nual municipal election Is being held
today. While the weather la somewhat
disagreeable on account of a cold rain,
a large vote Is being polled. The cam

most strenuous ever seen in this city.
The largest vote ever polled here la ex
pected. -. Both aide are well organised and
every voter possible will be Induced to
f;o to the polls before night. The new
aw prevents electioneering and on that
account it is outet about the polls, but
Judging from the number of votes cast
up to noon me wora or me organisa
tions has been very effective.
It anneara that J. D. Matlock and the

Klamath rails. Or., April 6. Frank
McComaclc. who owns a large ranch
about three miles above the city, has a
large acreage growing In baaket willows.-
A. few years ago cuttings were
planted along the marsh land bordering
on the lake as an experiment, and they
hava srown so profusely and have been
so successful- that steps have been taken
to start a willow basxel factory for tne
manufacture . of baskets and chairs.
The marsh lands of the t-ounty. which
embrace hundreds of thousands of acres,
are peculiarly adapted to the growing
of this claaa of willows. An expert
from the agricultural department, who
waa here laat year, made an examina
tion Of tne growth on tne overflowed
landa and greatly encouraged the In
dustry of growing willows.
It is probable that clippings from the
present tract will be planted on other
land and a targe acreage covered this
year, so that s soon as a factory is
