Dorcas, the best yard In the state at this time is that owned by Nathan Bonn, owner of the I. C. C, of this city, jus yard is in the Fairfield district.

According to the Dorcas Bros., they found about 15 per cent of the hop acreage as had but not 'a total loss, fcome of it will likely pull out with a continuance of the present warm weather, which la most needed. The arms are now well developed and In soma instances are several feet long. They are free of vermin. The yard of George Newbill in the Balstron district Is said to have im proved -fully 8ti per cent during the last two weeks. Last year the hop crsp In Oregon was estimated from 161,000 to 152,000 hales, While it is not believed that this year's crop will run as great on the same acreage, the amount of new acreage Is expected to hrlng the total at-least up to former figures of pro duction.

Shipping Demand is Showing a Decrease Potato Call From the Outside IS Less and Prices Are Frac tionally Lower. The market for potatoes is now rather quiet affair so far as old crowth is concerned. The season is now so well advanced that shipments to the southwest are practically ceas insr and unless something unforseen oc curs it is not likely that any tig sales will h made in that direction during the remainder of the season. Tn a more limited way carload ship pers are todav offering as high as 66c a cental. for best quality but pome are not inclined to bid above 60 cents be cause of the great chances they must take in long distance shipment to the xmithwest and south. Holdings of potatoes in the country are now comparatively small and the trade is inclined to the opinion that there will be sufficient home demand during the remainder of the season to clean up about everything that is available. New potatoes are arriving in heavier supplv and while prices in the south have been fractionally reduced of late, the market remains high. San Francisco Produce Market. San Francisco, Cal., May 21.

Columbia Salmon in Very Small Supply Catch Is Decreased With the River Rising and Water Muddy; Stock From Soath. Columbia river salmon is now so scarce In the local market that whole salers are being compelled to purchase the hulk of their needs on Puget sound, Alaska and in California. The run of salmon in the Colum bia is now comparatively light. The river is rising and the water is muddy and small hauls have been reported from the .ower river during the last 48 hours. The market nrlce is beinc held rather firm in consequence of the scarcity. 'We are now able to get our heeds of fresh salmon here at present, says Jos eph O'Connor of Malarkey & Co., wholesalers, and for that reason have been compelled to send elsewhere for supplies." Owing to the advanced season shad roe is now arriving in good condition and much of it Is unsaleable. Greyling trout, or young salmon are arriving in fair supply from the Co lumbia and are finding a very good de mand. Long Crowd Scared And Losses Result New York. Mav 21.

AUQ1T0RIUM PLANS UP FOR DISCUSSION AT PRIVATE SESSION Architect Freedlander and the Commissioners Have Dif ficulty Agreeing on Terms. REPORTERS ARE BARRED City Would Pay Omly Portion of fit, 000 Pea Because of Material Change la Projeot Batajr Wecessaxy. Although three secret' sessions, one this morning, have been held by the mayor and city commissioners with J. H. Freedlander, architect for the pro posed public auditorium, no agreement has been reached as to the amount Freedlander is to receive from the city for the work on the original plans. which, If followed, will increase th cost of the auditorium ' to more than $700,000. The my is restricted to the use of $450,000 for the building. Another meeting is scheduled for tomorrow morning. Everyone, even newspaper reporters. Is barred from the proceedings, although the charter specifically states that all meetings held by the council and all committee meetings shall be public. An agreement is sought whereby the city can pay only a portion of the l8,ooo asked by Freedlander. It is understood that Commissioner Bigelow is holding out against a compromise agreement, contending that the city should pay Freedlander nothing for the original plans, as they call for a build ing which would cost more than $700, 000, although the city cn expend only $450,000 for the structure. Freedlander contends that by chang ing certain features of these plans he can bring the cost of the structure within the $150,000 appropriation and still be within the rules of the original agreement with the old auditorium commission. To do this, entirely uew plans would have to be drawn and the plans origi nally prepared by Freedlander dis carded, it Is said that Freedlander has made an offer considerably, lower than the $16,000. providing he is given the contract for the new plans. This is one of the main points, as the city does not want to enter into such an agreement as long as there is a probability of using the market block. This question has not been settled aa 'yet by the courts. Should the courts hold that the city cannot use the market block, a new location will have to be secured, and It may be larger than a block. This is why the city does not want to accede to Freedland er's proposition. DIECK IS GIVEN ULTIMATUM Holmes' Salary Is Held Up by the Civil Service Board. The municipal civil service board gave City Commissioner Dieck yeste day a final ultimatum, adopting a -resolution to hold up the salary of Howard Holmes, acting head of the bureari of highways and bridges, after this month. In effect the ultimatum means that Holmes is to be ousted from the position he now holds and R. E. Kra mers, who heads the eligible list, will probably secure Jhe position. Although Holmes failed to qualify in the examination, Dieck has tried to keep him in the position, contending that he is well qualified and that a change would result disastrously t the organization of his department. As a result of the board's action It is probable that several changes will be made -of the personnal of the de partment of publto works. Commissioner Dieck told the board yesterday that he had offered Kremers another position In the department pro vided that he waive his claim to the position Holmes Is now holding tem porarily. MEN ON LIST PREFERRED Chairman Caldwell Given Views 00 Traffic Observer. That the inspectors now on civil service eligible lists are capable to set as traffic observers to count pedes trians and vehicles passing oa the downtown streets, and that there is no necessity for a special' examination for such observers, is the statement made by George W. Caldwell, chairman ot the municipal civil service board, in a letter to Commissioner Dieck. Commissioner Dieck had asked the hoard to hold an examination and pro vise him with applicants for positions as special traffic observers. He stated that they must be technical men and have a knowledge of higher mathe matics. Chairman Caldwell says a number of men are out of work on the eligible list fully capable to studying traffic conditions without holding a new ex amination. He contends complete knowledge of higher mathematics Is not required to count pedestrians and vehicles as they pass along the street. GETS A LOAD OFF HIS MLVD City Treasurer Has No More Cause for Worry. . There is a big load off of the mind of William Adams, cfty treasurer, as he result of Chairman Caldwell of ths civil service board, promising to cer tify all of those who were employed lest winter "when speclal work was provided for those out of work. The sum of $40,842.51 Involved In the con troversy has jrlven City Treasurer Adams considerable woTy. When work was supplied the un employed last winter It was the un derstanding the civil mervlce board would certify those employed. The men were' paid, Sowever. without thU certification being made and as a re sult City Auditor Barbur held up the big warrant. Chairman Caldwell stated that the proper proceedure had not been followed and "hf could not le gally certify the lists. At a recent meeting with city Ladd & Tilton Bank Established 1S59 CAPITAL AND SURPLUS $2,000,000.00 Commercial and Savings Deposits Attorney La Roche Mr. CaldwelJ wii' advised of a wsy . out of the dlffl-i culty and -as a result the warrant I to be paid and Adams has stopped worrying. HOUSING CODE TO COME UP Council Will Act Tomorrow on Proposed Ordinance. , . The first hearing of the proposed housing code ordinance which provides for better ventilation and sanitary con ditions in all tenement houses and aim -liar buildings will be held by the city, council at 10 o'clock tomorrow ' morn- - ing. It Is expected that there will ba large delegation on hand from local reform organisations to argue for the ; measure. A few changes have been made in the ordinance since originally pre pared. The ordinance formerly pro- . vided that in all bathrooms and similar rooms there should bsfa window open-' ing on to a court with plenty of light , and ventilation. Yesterday the work- ' ing committee of the building code re vision committee changed this provis ion to allow such rooms to be built without having 'a light window open ing, provided it has sufficient ventila tion. A IX NOW WANT AVTOMOBIT-ES Ae a result of the city planning to purchase an automobile for the su perintendent of playgrounds, a num ber of the city employes are clamor ing for the machine which they may uin tlie performance of their duties. The city council yesterday on recom-' mendatlon of Commissioner Brewster ordered another machine purchased for the park bureau for use by the play ground supervisor. The car is to cost not more than $600. When other city employes whose work carries them over the entire city heard about this purchase they lmm" diateiy saw their superior's and gkd that Oey too be provided with auto mobiles. TRANSIENT HAWKERS BARRED In an attempt to prevent persons selling pennants, souvenirs and other articles on the streets during the, Rosa Festival the city council yesterday adopted an emeraencv ordinance re quiring all such articles' being sold from doorways and in stores. A 11 cense fee of $10 is to be required from all but the legitimately established, merchants. Licenses are to be Issued to only those who have been residents of Portland for three months. According to City License Inspector Hutchinson the Rose Festival and like festivities attract a horde of souvenir hawkers who are classed by the police as "undesirables." With the ordinance In effect the majority of these carnival followers will be barred. Promised Rains a Bearish Argument Chicago. May 21.

Closing prices were '1 c ofcf for May and 1 Vc off for each of the Other options. Market opened with sn ad vance of c for May, a loss of Vic for July and e for September. Broomhall cabled from Liverpool that the strength In American cables yesterday and the unfavorable crop advices stimulated shorts to cover and later there was further support with the strength, in spot here, firmer American and Canadian offers and less' favorable weather reports from Rus sia. During the morning the market was dull but steady support was given with fair continents! demand for car goes, but the holidays restricted bust- r.ess.
