GENERAL STRENGTH
SHOWN
FOR
SUPPLES
Themarsst for ear I not quite o firm
during recent week. While arrivals ere not by
any means even fair, they are beginning to show
a email accumulation, due to tba fact that so
called eastern fresh is being sold 'at lower prices,
than the home product.
Stores eg as are snoring eery well at the
lower prices and as tha quality of these offer
ing is quite favorable, tha public is beginning
tdapprerUtB their worth. The sale of storage
stock would still be more extended if the gov
ernment ruling regarding tha labeling of contain
ers of storage eggs was more generally enforced.
As matters stand only a few of the most promi
nent storee are labeling their egg containers.
Additional supplies of eastern fresh egg are
due upon the local market within a few days
and this is one of tba weakening features of the
market. No general change in quotations was
announced along the wholesale way during the
day. -

The elimination of any restrictions whatever
in the feeding of wheat to livestock and poultry
has caused much comment among millers gen
erally. They claim that . It is unfair to force
the general public to buy substitutes for wheat
flour and thus curtail the operations, while al
lowing wheat to be fed to stock.
The claim waa recently made by a govern
ment official that already there was too much
wheat in sight for the coming season for prob
able requirements. This is taken Ho indicate
that all restrictions regarding the sale of flour
should be removed.
There has been an enormous wastage of oats
and barley by the public which has bought
these for substitutes in the purchase of wheat
flour. ' This' stock could have been fed to live
stock and poultry and helped somewhat to re
lieve the situation in those industries.
All grain exchanges were - closed for the day
because of election.

Polndexter and their satellites at this
critical hour. This is certainly a time
to either keep silent or assist President
Wilson to bring the bloody tragedy to
a conclusive settlement and save as
many of the lives of our gallant boys
as possible. Roosevelt broke up the
Republican party in 1912, and I thought
we were through with that culprit, but
here he is back again, trying to run it.
I cannot understand why the federal
courts should imprison Floyd Ramp of
Roseburg and allow Roosevelt and
Polndexter to run at large for a greater
offense at a more critical time. They
insult the president and attack the war
management which has been completely
successful. I horbe the voters will go

People Know Difference
"Does the Oregonlan think for
one minute that the majority of voters
do not know the difference between po
litical differences and surging patriot
ism," says R. L. Walter, Portland. "It
was that same surging patriotism that
was strong enough to place enough men
of the right sort at Washington to put
a curb on Wall street plutocracy as well
as defeat German autocracy. It will be
that same surging patriotism that will
smother the disgruntled Roosevelt and
carping Poindexter. We, as a people
who govern by right of democracy's
suffrage, do not need to be told by the
Oregonian that puny Internal issues are
taking precedence over a surging patri
otism in the mind of the great world
emancipator, because we know that he
is beyond that. President Wilson has
the right to ask for the power to subdue
the Penrose-Smoot ring of bosses.'

Vancouver Council
Decides to Force
Sidewalk Building
Vancouver, Wash.. Nov. 6. Last
night's session of the city council was
one of the shortest sessions ever held by
that bod.
The reports of the various officials
for October were read and accepted. A
petition signed by 10 residents in the
vicinity of Forty-first and Daniels
streets, asking that a street light be in
stalled at that intersection, was granted.
Claims against the city were audited
and allowed in the usual manner. Sec
tion 3 of ordinance No. 436. being the
"flre-llmlt" ordinance, was introduced
for amendment and read for the second
time. The amendment of this section
will give the council power to grant the
owners of the new public market build
ing permission to construct a covering
over the sidewailt- for the protection of
farmers and their patrons on market
day. The amendment will be adopted
at the next regular meeting of the coun
cil. Appointments of election officials for
the city primaries were ratified by the
council and the wages to be paid them
set at $4.n0 fcr the day.
A resolution was adopted by the coun
cil demanding the construction of a
sidewalk, 4n front of property on West
Tenth street, said to belong to A. L.
Miller, W. S. Johnson and the estate of
Mary Rogers. Until November 30 was
given the property-owners to start ac
tion. If by that time the sidewalks are
not being constructed, the city will havo
the work done and assess the charges
against the property.
