THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL; FORTLAND. MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 161911. FiyiJDOM; UP: DEALERS SAY: Li E Supply Is Plentiful but Advent of Cold Spell Made Demand -, Great and High Prices Easy to Get. " . , - With the dethronement of Old Sol and t'he enthronement of their patron saint, Boreas, wood dealer of Portland have shoved up the prices of fir and oat Kor wood that went begging- three weeks ago, the retailers have stiffened the price from 25 cents to 1 a cord. Prices have not been sent up because of lack of supply, for there la enough ' Avood on hand to keep rortland warm , for the winter. The dealers say the raise Is due to the difficulty of dellr ' try. : Coal prices, are firm and may ' rts too.

'-:'. . Notwithstanding reassurances the price '" of wood la crawling upward. Two.'ln- dependent" dealers aald today that they had been forced to boost the price of dry fir from SS.50 to $5.75 a cord.. One of the "combination" dealers fald he had raised the price of dry fir from SS and IJ8.50 to IT and $160, and some dealers have gone even higher, awed wood probably wlfl cost more than that ' Some, dealers refused today to take orders for wood to be delivered to parts v of the city to reach which the wagons ' must needs paes over paved streets. t They said their teams, all too few In " number, could, en account of the ice clotheti pavements, do only about two y thirds their - usual work. , When the cold began to aettle on the city several days ago and householders began ; to t iliiver, the demand for wood, which i had drooped for months, grew amaz- Ingly. So, with the demand good and ' delivery1 made alow, the Sealers decided t to tea the consumer for a condition he himself had made. , . rortland is burning about 25 per cent more coal this year than It burned hyst, and as for coal, the dealers themselves v say ttiete 1b enough on h$nd or In eight to make it safe to srieer at chilla for the rest of the winter.- Wyoming coal is being dumped Into the city in large quantities and from new mines in Washington enough coal ia coming to . glut the market. But even the coal dealers are hinting at a Jump in prlcea With the elevated prices, the con ' aumer is swaying between alternatives of buying now or waiting in the hope , of a drop. "Buy now" is the advice of , aeaiers, out consumers wno nave at uuioa conditions' ante waltinir tactics. ,' "" "Unless aomethtng unforeseen hap- pens,; said Mr, Hoover, "1 believe prices vwiu remain stationary; If they mpve 1 at all, J believe they wH BO down. Jt Is not a wcstlon' Of getting' wood and ; coal, but a question of having 1t de livered." . ' To the newspapers several consumers have reported that they ordered and - were forced to pay for better grades of coal than they got Jt has been sug gested that a coal expert be attached to the city -bureau- of Weights and meas tires, and that when coal is delivered the buyer ascertain that the grade Is wrlt ; ten on the delivery receipt ' E TABLE REPORT (Biltv Barbae of Tbe lwirnil.i f ' Salem, Or, Jan. 1$.

Eaton charged that Thompson and his nine supporters dictated many commit tees and that his representative, Seneca Fouls, made the deal with Thompson. ,e gave Rusk a clean bill and said the speaker was , an unwilling medium. Eaton then named many committee ' chairmanships which he said were in eluded in the deal. He charged Sena tor Bourne, .. C. W. Fulton and W. 8. V'Ren with organisation of the leglsla- ture.

BAD D UHG ATON WGULD ONE SENTENCE FAIL TO TEACH IN FMEIODGEIN MUST GO TO JAIL Walch andWife Each Sen tenced to Pay $200 Fine , and Serve 180 Days. ; A fine of 1200 and 180 days In Jail was the sentence imposed this morning by Judge Taswell on bow Edward Walch and his wife, Eva Walch, who have been representing themselves to be members of the Woodman's and Masonio lodges and of the woman's auxiliaries to them both, in order to secure money. They were arraigned on a city charge of vagrancy for which they were fined $100 and sentenced to 90 days each, and following that they were arraigned on a state case of using the name of frater nal societies to secure money, on which a similar penalty was imposed. Both pleaded guilty to 'each charge. The complaint on the state charge was signed by J. Woods Smith who with 40 other victims of the pair's manipula tions were in police court this morning. The victims were very much dis pleased with the sentence imposed in the city case, declaring that if was not enough to sooth their injured feelings, and all were determined' to press a state case against them. '.Walch, who Is a large strong man, shook like a leaf when standing before the court When sentence was passed he sobbed like a child and begged to be allowed to pay a fine. , Thore is a small Infant belonging to the pair In charge of friends in the city, and it is likely that the woman will be given some clemency for the sake of the child. Incensed over the imposition of Ed ward and J3va Walch, Judge Tazwell this morning raked John Joyce over the coals for begging on the street using a boiler makers' union card as his excuse for : approaching people.

"I have to advise you that the boar of trustees his Just returned from a trip to Pendleton arid the proposed sjto, Where It had gone to select a particular site for the buildings and prepare esti mates for submission to your honorable governor. It. has been unable, to find a suitable location on the premises for the buildings which are to be erected there on, and as the laws have left the board without power to purchase additional lands it must look to the legislature for relief. "Knowing of the great amount of money which will have to be appropri ated or the construction and mainte nance of the institution, and that any false step on the part of the board at this time will prove not only most unfortunate for the taxpayers but for the poor unfortunates who are to be come Inmates of the Institution, the board has named arid requested a com-1 mlttes consisting of Dr. Andrew C.

It. Tha action of New Jersey federal pure food inspectors in destroying an immense amount of cold storage eggs on the ground that they were unfit for human consumption, is believed to be responsible for an unpre cedented drop here today in tbe prices W butter, eggs. and. poultry. United States District Attorney Sims has instructed Inspectors here to inves tigate food products held In cold storage and his action, following the New Jersey raids. Is believed to presage wholesale seizures throughout Hhe country. ; Alarmed by the activity of the United States government officials, the food trust is reported to be In a panicky condition and to have thrown on the market more than $5,000,000 worth of cold storage stuff. This is indicated by the fact that while, fresh eggs re main here worth tO cents per dozen, storage eggs' are only 2 cents and the dealers declare that if the supply un loaded by the trust continues, to grow in volume the price for the "preserved" eggs will fall still lower. ' " In recent reports federal inspectors here declared that a great part of the eggs, fowl and egg preparations held in storage were ."rotten, putrid and unfit fpr human use, containing ptomaines arid t'other active poisons in large quan tities." It is reported that in order to dispose of the large quantities of 'eggs and poultry on hand the food trust is retail ing its stocks in the smaller towns throughout the country, thus evading federal 'nspectlon. To reach this practice the -pure food authorities are said to be planning a crusade that will carry them 'into all these smaller towns and cities, and it Is expected that millions of . dollars' worth of the rotten products will be seised and destroyed. P A. - M. Singleton, representing the Brotherhood of ' Electric Railway Em ployes, has written a letter to City At torney Grant, asking that the present venicie tratilo law be amended in the Interests of platform men on the street cars. The writer says if his recom mendations were followed there would be fewer accidents on the streetcar lines. . He complains that the .trafflo ordi nance la unfair In that it delays street cars unnecessarily by permitting heavy trucks and other slow-moving vehicles to use the tracks. He believes the in terest of the-publlo would be served better if the ordinance should compel vetucies to Keep ort the tracks. "All cars must stop at crossings,' reads the letter, "but vehicles are per mltted to keep moving. If they were compelled to stop also the danger of accidents would be minimized.
