Pacific coast, where artificial values have been forced for the fresh produat In order to Insure greater profits for- cold storage Jhand . ling. " In Portland great efforts have 'bean made to force the entire fresh egg mar ket to 45c. but thla haa' proven unsuc cessful, for this market " takes less to manipulating influences than any other on the coast, owing to the constant ex , pose of these methods by The Journal. Fresh ranch eggs are holding steady here at 42fte a doiervand while some Interests assert their ability to get 45c lor their entire holdings, the fact re mains that they scarcely receive on the average of more than a- case or two of ranch eggs during an entire week. Con sidering this their quotations on fresh egss should not he taken seriously. Fresh eggs, have recently dropped to 45c a doen in thft San Frsnolseo mar ket because of the great press of offer ings of storage stock. iSeatle is nominally the highest mar ket lor fresh eggs on the coast, but any one who ha sent eggs in that direction from thin territory t is seldom attain lured by the extreme -quotations for the net returns are scarcely as great as if hipped to Portland where Tislble prices are lower. - ' ' . For instance they have the selling of eggs down to a very fine point Be cause a Washington hen laid an eg at Vancouver, Seattle considers the product worth 8c a dozen more than If an Ore gon hen laid an egg at Portland. The trade here often wonders how the oin . tinctloa-is-wade-but -the-sattle, egg trade certainly has the business down to a fine point when it can figure Such a difference in quality. ' .

It takes books to make a library and books cost money. The city could well afford to levy a' tax of twice as much as It asked, for and still not Impoverish matters. - "We have had several reading rooms and libraries before, but all failed be cause of lack of public spirit. , Without -public spirit or contribution of money and books, the tax will not build a li brary worth looking at, i "When the people of this town in all public matters or betterments will loosen up . and contribute money from their pockets instead of; Jawbone, they : could have public libraries, public parks better roads, better streets, free docks,1 a presentable rest room for, farmers and a more generally prosperous town in ' every way." . -t , ,-" :. - ARGENTINA DAMAGE .
