Walla Walla,' Aug.. 24. That "hay will be hay" In the northwest before the crop of 1910 is harvested, and that the price will go higher than ever before in the history of thf valley, Is the opinion of representative farmers of the Walla Walla country, and as a conse quence there is little changing haids at the prevailing figures. From $ai to $13 a ton, -f. 0. b.1, for alfalfa, is of fered, but there are few who will part with their crops at that; , One Indication of the Mrh nrW ttnt is expected is the buying of local hay dealers from the Palouse country, In that section of the country, where they ordinarily export hay, this year wi)', be a shortage. The demand no Is for hay for Immediate use, and there Is none H. y?k l,h,U 1ty for the farm ers simply will not sell. , A few heavy sales opening the sea son have been followed by two or three smaller ones, and since then the market huspeen stagnant. No farmer believes that the price is going to remain eta tlonary, or that it Is going down in the fane of the shortage In the northwest and elsewhere. California buyers have been reported In the valley in the last week and there is little doubt they will "V? strong effort to pull down some of the bigger crops. BuC&here is little doing. Reports show more and more the shortage of crops and the lure of high prices wll! tie up the hay in the. Walla Walla val ley for some time. . However, considerable hay ia believed to have been harvested In. the Big BenU and if enough Is left over for export purposes the effect may be to loosen prices here. cod, 7 Vie; crabs (out of season); dressed shad, 5c; roe shad, 8c; shad roe, 20c lb, CLAMS Hardshell, per box, 4o lb.; razor clams (out of season).

FLED TO IDAItO Beautiful White Woman With Him, According to S. P. . Railway Employe. . That there Is a discrepancy between the quotations furnished by lgcal creameries for publication In Portland newspapers and the actual prices charged for butter became evident to day.. According to T, 8. Townsend, of the Townsend Creamery company,, a meeting of the majority of wholesale butter men of the city was held and it was decided to advance the . market price one cent for. the product In cubes ana in iuds.- But when a representative .of The Journal called on a number of the deal er's this morning he was informed that they were receiving from 86 cents to 37 Vi cents a pound, an average increase of . two cents. Later in the day Mr, Townsend called up the market editor of this paper on the . telephone and In an. Interview . made an explanation of the apparent lrreconcillable difference In the prices. m ' "We must have a basis price to start from," said Mr. Townsend, ''and w have - decided to make an advance of one cent per pound. - This- would make butter 86 cents a pound. Of course, it must be understood that this figure applies to the bare product in tubs and cubes. If we receive an order for but ter from a customer that is the price at which it will be sold unless he wants It cut Into bricks and wrapped in car ton. ' "We charge customers for any addi tional expense Incurred in delivering our merchandise. Thus, a merchant who lives at some distance .from our ware houses could not expect to have butter delivered as cheaply as one who can be reached nearby. Conditions such as these make the differences in prices. "If the newspapers lose sight of these facts and quote the maximum fi crura in the market columns nro- ducers naturally expect us to pay them a higher price than we can afford to nav and coneeauently It Is sometimes hard to secure what we need for the trade.

I would rather have a gay time." These were' the sentlmon's expressed by Mrs. Jessie McCurry toward her hus band, Will D. McCurry, according to a complaint for divorce he has filed In the circuit court. 'Her Ideas were ex pressed, he bays, when he protested against the . company she kept and asked her to be less conspicuous In gay resorts about town. ! He continued to tve with her, but the crisis soon came. On July 13, he says, when he- returned home ha found a note telling him she had departed for good. He has heard she went to I.os Angeles. They were married in Pueblo, Colo., In. June, 1908. Mrs, -violet Otr found It necessary to have her husbcl hauled to the train In a hack when they started to Oregon from Marlow, Okla.; last April, She says, because he had imbibed too freejy to walk. She Is suing for di vorce on the ground of habitual drunk enness. ; They were married in Feb ruary, and she alleges her husband, Oscar P. Orr, drank heavily and cursed her the same month. On May 15, she alleges, since they came to Portland, he struck her and swore at hor, and she thinks It impossible to live longer with him. Two other complaints for divorce for habitual drunkenness were tsntarcd In the circuit court today. Rebecca & Vorpahl says Herman A. Vorpahl threatened her life, called her names and abused her until she suffered from nervous rjts. Both she and Vorpahl were previously married, she having three children by a former husband and he four children by a founer wife. One child, Cyril, was born, to them, now years of age. She charges Vorpahl wun aousmg ner cnuaren. He is a blacksmith and Uvea In Sellwood. She wants $12 per week from the proceeds of the shop, which she says she owns having purchased that and Lhe liumu where they live with her ewn 'money. She also asks for the custody of their child and wants her husband restrained from visiting the 'premises or causing trouble. Mary Gavin Is the other wife who alleges her husband cannot restrain his love fpr Uquor. She alleges Alexander Gavin la drunk much of tho time.
