There were reports In the. local mar
ket today of heavy sale of flour by
interior mills to Europe, but this could
not be confirmed at any of the local
Institutions.
It is stated that F. li. Price, export
agent National Millers', l-'ederation,
with headquarters in New York, was
out through the country recently and
had arranged for the shipment of
huge lots oi flour to England and the
continent.
The condition of the flour market
locally is very firm at $6 for patent.
This price is uniform here today and
although there is talk of a further
advance immediately to $ti.20, none of
the leading millers was willing to
confirm it, in fact some denied it.
While public cables from London
were to the effect that the -marct
ior wneat cargoes on passage was
very dull, private cables received here
siaie mat the marKet Is very firm.
Winnipeg reported that exporters
were taaing 'an wneut offering and
from Chicago came the report that
icucn Business had Been during over
night via the gulf.
There are more inquiries for barley
from abroad and the market in. the In
terior is firmer.

Imports from Sept. 1 z.uai
Local receipts have been pretty
heavv this week, and thev have -In
cluded more than 5000 bales in transits
for export. This is part oi tne Busi
ness that was consummated some time
aero, on the Pacific coast. We do not
hear of further important orders com
ing to hand. Demand from brewers
is also on a restricted scale, but the
position of the interior markets is
such as to check any pressure to
sell here and quotations remain un
changed. It would be pretty difficult
to move anv ouantit.v of stock, how
ever, at our outside figures. Quite
hca.vy import from Rotterdam are re
ported, arrivals reaching about 1500
bales to date, with further lots un
derstood to be en route. Importations
of TCmrilKh hoos have apparently
stopped. In the interior of New York
state a few sales have been reported
during the week, mainly at 2530c as

SUPER-POTATO IS PECK OF
POTATOES ROLLED IN ONE
LEVVIS COUNTY FARMERS WANT CANNERY,
e -
In the application of the United
Railways for new franchises to take
the place of the existing blanket fran
chise held by them so that they may
be relieved from the use of Stark
street. Will H. Daly, commissioner of
public utilities, scents a scheme
whereby the railroad company hopes
to abandon its line to the Mount Cal
vary cemetery and vicinity.
Commissioner Daly voiced, bis sus
picions at a meeting of the city coun
cil yesterday afternoon, and as a re
suit the council will probably agree
to the abandonment of Stark stree
but hold the company to the provis
ions of Its original franchise requir
ing the maintenance of the Mount Cal
vary cemetery line.
' As the county has revoked the fran
chise of the company to have tracks
between Portland and Linnton the
company has no further use for Stark
street, where it gathers most of Its
passengers, and is asking that it be
relieved from this provision of the
original franchise.
Hew Bequest Made.
In making the application, however,
the company is asking for two fran
chises in lieu of the blanket franchise,
according to Mr. Daly. One franchise
to allow them the use of the city
streets in the northern portion of the
city for freight purposes, thus elimin
ating Stark street, and the other to
cover the line to the cemetery and
vicinity.
Commissioner Daly says that he be
lieves that the scheme of the railroad
company, is to have the -council grant
the two new franchises and then re
fuse to accept the grant for the "cem
etery line. In this way. says Mr.
Daly,- the company Could be relieved
from- its obligation to maintain the
service between Portland and the
Mount Calvary district.
Contending that, the obligation to
maintain the cemetery line Is a condi
tion of the original grant and cannot
be altered. Commlssioer Daly has re
fused to sanction such a scheme, and
yesterday the other members of the
council agreed with him.
, Xdne Hot Faying..
Mr. Daly says that this cemetery
line has not been paying, and for tliat
reason the railroad company wants to
discontinue service. This line extends
from the head of Washington street
and winds around the hills, terminat
ing near the cemetery. At present, it
is owned by the United Railways, but
through an agreement between it and
the Portland Railway, Light & Power
Co., the latter company operates the
cars.
The plan, however, to remove the
tracks from Stark street has the in
dorsement of Commissioner Daly, who
has been trying for a number of
months to eliminate the heavy cars
running on the street, and the other
members of the council.
Only the tentative draft of the ap
plications was considered by the coun
cil yesterday, and the matter will have
to be taken up officially before any
action can be had.
If "anyone doubts that business Is
Improving, and especially at country
points, they should ask li. J. Otten-
heimer, manager of Jones' Cash Store,
which Is directly Identified with the
fanners. Mr. Ottenheimer says that
business Is good and Is Improving, and
he has the most substantial evidence
to show it. In the first place, his
firm is reporting an increase of bet
ter than 25 per cent In its volume of
sales as compared with, a year ago.
That looks very good in Itself, but
Mr. Ottenheimer says that a steady
increase is being shown and he looks
for some extra good trade within the
immediate future. Dealing direct with
the farmer as does his firm, he is in
a position to know that the average
farmer of the Pacific northwest Is ti
day more prosperous than ever be
fore. Huge prices for grain crops and
a demand for other lines are giving
the producer much more money to
spend these days and they are already
spreading it around.
Farmers Have Money.
If you want still further evidence
that farmers have money to spend, in
quiry may be made at the ofTice of
the Mitchell, Lewis & Staver company,
where practically all of their business
is with the producer. "( 'ollesrtlons are
better." was the report that this firm
had to make regarding the financial
situation. Furmers nave had very
good crops this year and tbey have
money to spend. As soon as they get
more confidence In the future we look
for them to spend even more than at

In the scheme he also proposes to
have the hotel proprietors secure the

chasers and make these names public
so that the people know w'ho those are
who purchase from the transient mer

that purchases are made by some of

Pomme deterre of , futurist design, grown on premises, of Frank
j Teebuagh, : near Damascus, Or.
Keen edged , blades of . remarkable
temper gave Damascus, Syria, a fame
which has lasted through the cen
turies. Frank Teebuagh.-1 who resides
near Damascus. Or, has produced ft
potato which should make the: Ameri
can Damascus, equally as famous as
the ancient city; .'A i :
Mr. Teebuagh's , potato has claims
to fame because it is an extraordinary
potato. In fact. It J s a"-super-potato.
it nas one great trunk potato and
then 'a lot ot branch potatoes stick
ing to it. It's a peck of potatoes in
one.
Mr. Teebuagh's potato shows a re
semblance to many things lo a Tebdy
bear, to a Billiken, to a Joss, to a
shrapnel shell just as it bursts.
:It is far from - being artistic. , It
would form a mighty poor . subject
for a still life picture- of farm pro
ducts, r How runs the old stave: "Pic
tures 05 fruit on the dining room
wall; but none never on the table at
alL" . ; . ' v;. : ; ' ' i . 1 -
some ; respects this potato is a
monstrosity, but withal It would prob
ably be : Just as : tasty as - its more
Venus-like brethem and sistern. "And
speaking of the high cost o' living.
It would probably make six portions
of. mashed. Therefore, Sejah!-
District Judge Dayton discovered
yesterday that women's hair is worth
50 cents an ounce if long enough for
switches. Experts testified to that
value during the trial of the suit of
Miss Alice Bisonette against Mrs.
Belle: McAllister for $50 for lost hair
and $40 damages for loss of the hair.
Miss' Bisonette' turned two boxes of
hen. hair over to Mrs. McAllister, she
testified, to have a switch made. She
said Mrs. McAllister turned tbe mak
ing of the switch over to another per
son. Mrs. McAllister told her that
she did not ..believe the (switch was
made from her. hair and she declined
to take it. :' Judge' Dayton allowed $5
for 10 ounces of hair lost, but denied
the plaintiff any' damages..
