Bun of Salmon Decreasing.
According to advices received bv The
Journal from Columbia river points the
run of salmon la not nearly bo good as
during the firat days of the season
The decrease la especially noticeable In
. the lower river and the catch there has
dwindled down to about half of what It
was at the start. On the Upper Colum
bia the catch, while so heavily decreased
from former days, is considerably lighter
than It was. For this reason very little
fresh salmon Is coming forward to the
local fresh fish market at mis lime
In consequence prices are being held
very mm at uncnangea vwum.
Potato Market Tery Firm.
-' a firmer tone Is again noted In the
local potato situation following a sharp
advance In the price of both old and
new stock In California. The report that
some, of the river lands had been flooded

est rise was noted In new potatoes;
prices In that line being fully lc a
pound higher for the paat few days.

The Journal Is yet unable to confirm
the rumors. It Is stated, however, that

Throughout the local livestock situation
there Is a better feeling in effect to

The sheep market, so weak and be
dragged during the past week, began
to show an Improved buying power dur
ing the past 24 hours. Lambs, especial
ly, felt the Influx of new buying blood
and taking all present indications Into
consideration It looks as if the sheep

that better prices are about to mako

Because of the very scant offerings
the hog market is very firm locally but
the absence of siiDDlies makes It diffi

CLUB HOPES 10
GEr HEW BRIDGE
North1" East Side Improve
. ment Club Holds a
Meeting "
' Pendleton May J. That all wool sates
dates In Oregon may be declared off due
to the great activity In the contracting
or wool aurins: tne nasi rew aays. is tne
opinion of Dan P. Smythe, secretary of
tne state wool urowers association.
Besides his official position among the
organised wool growers of the state, the
opinion expressed is given mora weight
from the fact that Mr. Bmythe is one
of the largest sheep owners in thla sec
tion of the state. Regardless of the fact
that such a large per cent of tha wool
has been contracted in advance of the
official aalea dates set. it la possible
that one of the sales dates may be
oDservea in rtaaitioa, aeppner ana
enaniKO.
Secretary Smyth expresses tha opin
ion that Shanlko will be tha laat place
to entirely give tip the aalea day Idea
since the sellers at that point hay been
carefully keeping the day in tha past
despite the fact that the buyers have
tried very hard to get some choice con
tracts in advance. According to the
secretary, however, there is no assur
ance that other aectiona will make any J
eriort to Keep tneir smes aays, ana 01
course win nave no need or them if the
present advance sales continue.
It la reported that thousands ' of
pounds of wool are being contracted for
dally through tha wool belt of eastern
Oregon. Tha ruling price locally is re
ported to be 20 cents and above. Sev
eral sales have been known to reach
the 21 cent mark during the past two
days, and it is said the local wool men
will pay no attention to any offer of
less than 20 cents for the average and
better grades. These- high prices of
fered have been so tempting that there
is a likelihood that there will be little
of the staple left when tha ftrat sales
day arrives in Pendleton on May 24. .
Earlier In the season the buy era were
disposed to bold off until the regular
sales davs, and tha selling fever did not
hit the Pendleton and Pilot Rock sheep
men until during the past few days.
Among those who are known to have
sold their clips up to the present are
Rugg Brothers, Charles Matthewtr. C. A.
Johnson, L. I Mann and Herbert Boy
Ion. The Pedro and Uust Brothers are
also reported to have sold their clips, the government reservation and south
A lew or the large clips or the county of Fifth street will be closed aftar to-
An enthtfslastle bridge meeting wag
held laat night by the North East Side
Improvement- club. Discussion, -in 'which
many of the members of tha elub took
part and in which most optimistic views
of -the probability of the people passing
tha proposed bond issue for the new
Broadway bridge were expressed, filled
the evening. - The bond issue Is to be
put up to the people at the June election
and the club has every hope that it
will pass. 1
Dr. J. R. Wetherbee, Judge M. Q.
Munlv. Counellmen Menefee and Bpi-
nett, George 8. Shepherd, John Plttinger
and many other members of the club,
talked on the bridge question. Dr. Weth
erbee told -of the great sles to which he
was sure tne city was coming and told
the members of the club that another
prtdge was very much needed. Judge
Muniy reviewed tha work of the club Tn
tha Interest of the new bridge, telling
of the three stages of the work aa he
saw them. ' 1
Investigation, agitation and legislation
were the stages ef the work as lie saw
them. Investigation . was the work of
selecting the site, Engineer Modjeskl s
report; agitation was the -matter of get
ting the subject ;beforevthe people, while'
legislation is the. stage as It Is now
waiting for the people to pass the bond
issue. He entertained every hope of
success. "

that the sale dates at other point than

have been even more general than In

tically all of the wool - of Wallowa

there Is practically no wool left in Baker

day. When the mayor gave the order
to close these houses he did so with
the proviso that they would have until
today to move.
As near as can be learned the clos
ln order will be obeyed following the
publicity that lias been given. Captain
J. J. Bradley of Vancouver barracks
has expressed himself well pleased with
the mayor's decision to close the houses.
About two years ago Captain Bradley
made a request that the district be
cleared out, the fact being published
by Tha 'Journal. For a tlma the houses
remained closed but were, later reopened
and have been In full operation ever
since.
