IS BOOST Itl BIBS iy ASSOCIATION 1 IS NOT FOLLOWED Jobbers Continue to Sell at Old ' Figure , or Less Than ft . Would Cost , to Buy; Aus tralia May Prove Competitor 9 . Onions Held Down. , 4 For the first time this season . x ront street onion sellers are not In accord with the action 4 taken by the Confederated Onion Growers" association in the mat- ter of prices, and Saturday's ad- ance oy me organisation was not followed by the street V ' , , Front street is bearish on the onion situation. Produce mercnants have come to the conclusion that there is such a thing as putting prices too high and for that reason there is a- tendency to complain at the latest action of the Confederated nnlnn rimmi1 nxii. Von, adva"cln the prloe to 12.50 per A . country snipping points. ' Onions are being sold by Front street jobbers today at the same price that onion growers are asking at their coun try stations., This means that pur chases from the association , at the minimum price today would ' cost $2.60 ; to land at Portland, plus So cartage. While some wholesalers are not very well supplied with onions others say they retain quite good holdings and as most of these were purchased below 12, sellers see a handsome profit at $2.60. -On the other hand producers seem to be confident of their ability to unload air their supplies at the higher figure and some are even talking of advancing further at the next meeting. Australian Onions Kowsr. One extreme bearish factor in the onion situation at this time and one that the growers have been warned against, la the fact that Australian onions are now being offered at Cali fornia points around 2c a pound. This means that the Imported stock can be landed at San Francisco at 10c per cental under the. price that Oregons could be sent In that direction. .Not alone Is there a. discrimination of 10c In the price against the Oregon Product, but the Australian nffnrtnra are of new crop and. from a buyer's point of view are to be desired against old crop stock. A late msir advice from San Fran cisco says that tnis year's crop of onions in the Gochella valley will reach 100 eir and In the Imperial valley 60 cars. Both of these are greater than has been produced heretofore In either section. The offerings from there will be ready for market either the latter part of March or around April 1. May Hurt northern Trade. Not only will the offerings of onions by Australia at $2.76 f. o. b. coast points hurt the sale of Oregon onions in California where direct shipments of the foreign product have already been ordered, but the Pupet sound territory is likely to be Invaded because the stock can either be sent north by steam er at cheap rates or else Imported dl rect. The Vuget sound territory has been the best buyer of Oregon onions this season and the loss of anv of that trade would have a serious effect upon the market here. EGG8 ARE SOLD LOWER. Mixed Opinion Fails to Keep Price From Dropping on Street Notwithstanding the reported sales of fresh ranch eggs by some interests at higher prices, transactions were con firmed as low as 18c a dozen along the the street today. Some receivers are proae to hold for higher prices on account of the stdfrmy weather but others Were equally as glad to unload at the reduction. POULTRY MARKET GOOD. Mixed Chickens Selling as High as 18c With the Demand Good. Week starts with the poultry market n good shape, especially for chickens. While turkeys did not find such a ready movement during the last few days, chickens sold better with 18a the latest quotation for ordinary lots and straight ooops of fancy hens from that figure to ltc OUTDOOR ItHUBARD HERE. California Shipments Are Sold on ?--. Street at a Fair Quotation. Outdoor rheubarb from California is coming forward to .the local market and sales have been made generally around $8.60 to $4.00 per box of 40 Sounds. The quality was In good con ltion. HOTHOUSE LETTUCE SLOW. Ordinary Stuff Sells Down to BO and . t 00c-Demand Is Limited Here. Trade in hothouse lettuce is slow and some ordinary offerings have been sold on the street recently as low as 60c to 60c per box. Extra fine quality some times sells as high as $1.1:5 per box of four dosen. - CELERY MARKET HIGHER. Advance In California Causes Trade Here to Revise Quotations. .

Lad Spent Money at Moving Picture Shows. . Elmer Green, the 18-year-old boy who stole $15 from his foster mother shortly after her death Friday afternoon, has been taken in charge by the authorities.' He admits the theft He says part of the money was spent at moving picture theatres. The lad was allowed to leave the reform school to go to the home of Roxana Green, who raised him, when she was thought to be on her death bed. Soon after her death; Elmer began looking around the home. His eyes fell upon her handbag. Opening this the lad found the pocket book containing $15. This was quietly shoved Into his trousers pocket, and he left the house. The first place he went was to the Star theatre. After seeing the show he went to Council Crest In hopes of riding; on the "Joy wheel." Thinking the officers would be after him, he went to Vancouver at night Saturday the boy returned to Portland, and took In more moving picture shows. Saturday evening he returned to Van couver to escape the officers. Testerday he returned to Portland and was caught by L. H. Baker, master of the detention home. This morning the boy was taken before the juvenile court and will be returned to the reform school. The boy had no hesitancy in talking about the matter. He admitted taking the money and said he knew his foster mother was dead. , Answers to the complaints of the United States charging the Harney Valley Development association and William Jones with fencing public lands have boen filed in the United States court by C. E. S. Wood, attor ney for the defendants. The defense of the development company la tht the fences in question have been erect ed by Peter French, whom they bought out while Jones sets forth the excuse made by him in a similar crlminar ac tion brought by the government that he fenced the land to keep Cattle from eating poisonous seeds. The Harney alley Development com pany claims French built the fence It is aocuaed of being responsible for and that, anyway, the fence was not actu ally an lnclosure, as it was down In many places. Jones says his fence was down In spots, too, and that the coun ty road ran through It Both defend ants state they have had what remains of thjr fencos removed since the Insti tuted, oc proceedings against them.

The Cooperative, as the fishermen's company is generally known to the trade, completed a new cannery at Ne halem and operated it for the first time the past season.

Rocky KELLAHER BOBS UP WITH H Bill Tries Again to Have Portland ? Gas Franchise Repealed . v by Legislature. (Bpeeiil Dispatch to The Jonrnsl.) , Salem, Or., Feb. 13. Senator Dari Kellaher, training his b(atteries for a second time on the Portland Gas & Coke company, after one bill repealing that concern's franchise had been slain, ran Into, ambush in the senate this morning. Protesting vainly,' his pet measure was caat out of the Judiciary committee and sent to the Multnomah delegation. What will happen to It there is per uana well forecasted by the previous action of the delegation, when the measure was turned down at a meeting when Kellaher was absent Declaring the bill covers, subject matter, already passed on by the Multnomah members and not properly before the Judiciary committee In the latter days of the ses sion. Chairman Malarkey dragged it out Upon his suggestion It was reref erred to Multnomah. .- Kellaher significantly said he had reason to ask that the bill be handled by the Judiciary committee. He said it Is a new bill, and not like the one that, was killed, because it contains a new section pro viding the measure shall be referred to a vote of tho people of the state in 1912. He expressed doubt whether the Judiciary . committee had even held a meeting sine It received the bill. Malarkey retorted that Kellaher ap peared to doubt every man but himself and appeared to think he is the only honest man In the senate. "I don't sea why you should Itlss" j this bill from, one committee to anoth er." said Kellaher.
