APPLE PRODUCERS AS WELL AS CONSUMERS ARE SUFFERING
OREGON BUTTER
IS MOST COSTLY
Salt Lake District Cream Shipper Get
Fur Less Than In This Territory
' Claim Unfair Competition.
BUTTER WILL ADVANCE
All the local creameries with the -ex'
ception of the Rait Lake eoacera will
advance the price of butter 1 rent Mon
day morning, because of the recent ad
vance of t cent la bntterfat. It id
stated that tome are quoting an addi
tional S rents a pound for butterfat, bnt
tale price Is rtmpetltlve.
The anxiety of certain creamery In
terests with outside connections to ad
vance the price of butter and butterfat
at Portland and other Pacific Northwest
points," Is less perplexing to the trade
than a few days ago. The Salt L-ake
concern which operates a branch here
stands to make considerable money pro
viding the figures on butterfat and cost
of butter making are not misleading.
For intanre the last price reported tor but
terfat delivered at Salt Lake, which la the
headquarter of the company. waa Sc a pound,
while th Portland delivered price for butterfat
remain at 74c generally. At Portland the
boosting company ia (itinling one a pound for
butter in print, a differential of He a pound
In fa ror of butterfat. while at Halt Lake the
differential i but 1 e. Tlu means, according
to som of the trade, that the Salt I.ake mra
mn ran force Lite local trade to lose money
v bjr quoting ilia extreme price for huurrfat here
wnn geuing ita nuge supplies ai uie k. ua
mity at materially lower prices In other word,
the trade bere figures that Llie. Silt Lake m
temta can inrade tliia territory with ita Itah
butter, which cost approximately IOc to land
here, while the cost ot making butter in Port
land ia around 5c a pound on the present
baaia.
In theae difference In the butterfat prire
the local trade claims to aee a good reason for
boosting the cost of tiylng at Portland.
TOO PRICES RULING WEAK HERE
Kgg market prices continue to reflect weakness
hi the local trade with rcoeipt increasing and de
mand at low ebb because ot the high prict aked
for fresh stork.
TUBKT.T PRICEH ARE AT LOW EBB
There is practically no movement, of turkeys in
the local trade at this time. home of the buy
ers were offering 40c a pound tor offering but
receivers were unwilling to do business.
TEAL MARKET RATHER 8 TEAT) T
Market for country killed calve ia rithrr
toady along the atreet with values from 21 He
to 22o a pound for top stuff. Hog are not so
firm because of the recent decline on livestock
value.
CHICRT MARKET IS HOT.DINO
Chicken market Is holding practically un
changed. A mistake is shown in the quotation
for heavy spring, the price being 23c a pound in
stead of 2c aa quoted. The mistake is due to
a typographical error.

GROWERS
HURT
BY APPLE RATE
Lack of Suitable aTriff for Bulk Ap
ples Drives Business Elsewhere
Idaho Is Now Profiting.
By Hyman H. Cohen
Oregon apple growers are losing heav
ily as a result of the lack of a proper
rate for the shipment of bulk apples
from this state to tne middle west. While
huge stocks are being purchased for bulk
shipment in Idaho because of the spe
cial rate that the stock there takes. Ore
gon shipments can be made only at
rates that are materially higher than
the boxed rate, a condition known in no
other state.
While the middle west is picking up
the smaller sized and inferior quality
, . . . , . i i.uu.-r wU w answers. naming very ngnt. lie-
Idaho apples are fair values because of mind and movement moderate. Growers hold
the ability to get them to eastern con- i ing for higher prices. Market steady, no change
sumers at a low. rate. Many hundreds
of tons of this same grade of apples will
go to waste in Oregon because of this
lack of rate.
The reason why the eastern buyers
want these low grade and small sized
apples shipped in bulk is to eliminate
the expensive packing that ofttimes costs
more than the apples themselves. By
shipping them in bulk and saving this
huge expense the consumers can secure
their requirements at lower prices.
Those desiring pecil information regarding
any market should write the Market Kditor,
Oregon Journal, enclosing stamp for reply.

Potato Trade Has
A Dull Tone Here
; And in Country
Generally duller tone is showing in the
market for potatoes here. Not only la
there less demand indicated at country
points, but local wholesalers report that
practically all the trade is in the hands
of peddlers who are buying "junk" and
selling it low.
Practically all primary points continue to tell
of a slow tone in the potato trade. Movement
everywhere in the country appear to be re
stricted. J
Primary markets report:
Greeley, Colo. No hauling on account of the
weather. Light wire inauiry. No aales on ac
count of the weather.

Millstuff prices continue to advance
with a greater demand all through the
local territory. Offerings are somewhat
restricted and sales are shown from $40
to iZ a ton, the highest of the season
to date.
The government's purchase of approximately
750,000 barrels of flour through the Portland
office of Max II. Houser. second vice president
of the Groin corporation, ia announced at the
same price a ruled the previous month. Thi
was unexpected because of the higher prices
millers paid for wheat. Practically all the
flour offered by millers waa accepted, the ruling
price being $9.80 per barrel alongside veasels.
Regarding the hay situation, the Glob. Grain
A Milling company advises:
"The movement of hay is very light, only
1 8 cars arriving within the pat week. Ar
rivals for the season up to this time are less
than half of what they were la. year, and the
same U true of Seattle. Shippers in the Yakima
valley have advanced their idea a to value
during the week, and now are asking fully $2
a ton more than a few days ago. It looks as
though the information given out. by Pullman a
week ago is not far out of line, and with severe
weather we might ea&ily see an advance locally
of $2 a ton. The prevailing pric. to dealers
is $30 a ton, while in round lots to the whole
sale trade the prices are correspondingly lower."
The larger hay dealers are now freely ottering
SI'S a ton basis for aJIalla. Portland delivery
According to it plan of announcing flour

announces from New York thai It has pur
chased thi week at various point throughout

OREOOX GCARD TO HAVE S
ESTER WEST POINT ACADEMY
Salem. N'ov. 29. Three members of
the Oregon National Guard will be se
lected for entry into the West Point
Military academy under the new ap
portionment, instead of two as fixed by
the former apportionment, according to
advices received by Governor Olcotl,
Friday, from P. C. Harris, adjutant gen
eral of the United states. Inasmuch as
it has been found that some states have
no national guard organizations rec
ognized by the federal government, that
some fall far short of their authorized
quotas and that others have fully or
ganized guards, it has been decided to
redistribute the number of candidates
allowed on the bawls of the actual en
listed strength of the recogniied guard
organization of the several states, the
letter state?. The appointment of can
didates for West Point will be made by
the governor based upon the results of
examinations to be conducted in the
various units of the guard.

REACHING AFTER, THE DEAD
"LEST WE FORGET"
By DR. JAMES E. TALMAGE
Of the Council of the Twelve, Church of Jerau Chriat of Latter-day Saints,
Salt Lake City, Utah.
NOTE: For free eoples of othor artiel of thi ri, sand reouart tp th author.
The Latter-day Saints are deeply con- j
cerned in the identification or ineir
dead, back through the generations to
the remotest extent possible. This is ex-
i emplified by the persistent ardor of the
people in the compilation and preserva
tion of cenealocical records, the collat
ing of items of lineage, and the formula
tion of true family pedigrees, by which
the facts as to the relationship of a.n
cectors to posterity may be determined.
In this specific activity the Church of
! Jeus Christ of Latter-day Saints is not
i working alone ; for it is a notable fact
.that during the last seven or eight de-
has developed ' to a degree theretofore
unknown in modern history. The living
are re&rhlng hark ward to learn of their
dead. And In this movement, as In
many other distinguishing; features of
particular epochs, a power auperlor to
man's unguided purpose Is operative.
The immediate motive In such under
takings may vary with tha Individual.
Many, doubtless, are eager to trace their
pedigree to an Illustrious source ac
cording to human estimate of eminence;
and of these some find disappointment
As literature attests, many spurious)
pedigrees have been fabricated. It waa
probably against aucn mat i-aui in
veighed In his terse admonition to both
Timothy (1 Tim. 1:4) and Titus (8:9)
and through thern to the Church, to
eschew fables and endlens genealogies,
from the discussion of which only con
tention would result.
The latter-day Saints have a specific,
and, indeed, unique purpose In genealogi
cal Investigation. They seek not nobil
ity nor aristocracy of anc8try, but the
facts, let the line lead where It may ;
and the shadow of falsification would
be fatal to their object
Queries as to why the Church la thus
concerned are as frequent as the Inquiry
"Why do the Latter-day Saints build
Temples V One reply suffices for both
questions.
Every believer In Individual existence
bevond the! grave and , everybody be
lieves in or fears the certainty of such a
state hopes and yearns for the blessed
condition we call salvation. On the au
thority of Scripture tha Church pro
claim that "throngs the Atosemeai of
Chiiot, all mankind snay be oared, fey
obedience to the law aad ordinance of
the GopePt and conversely, that with
out eompltance with the laws and ordi
nances Dreacribed by Jesus Christ no
man can have place in the Kingdom of
God.
Who can doubt this basal and porten
tous truth in the light of the Savior's
definite and nnaualifled affirmation to
St, ; tb loaned Jaw, Kkodemua. respecting

ine, accoading to John Hartman,
Chicago's Christmas tree man. "Tht

tion." Hartman said..
"Then we are unable to get trees
f com the Northern Wisconsin and
Michigan forests, where nons but ths
scrubs are left.
"Christmas trees this year will be
at least 35 per cent higher than last
year."

among the fundamental laws and ordln

In His comprelumslva declaration out
Ird made no discrimination of classes,
drew no distinction between the living
and the dead. But what of the un
numbered host who have uvea ana aieo
without a knowledge of the Indlspens
ability of baptism, or. though they knev
yet never had opportunity to be baptised
by one holding the authority of th
Holy Priesthood to so administer? Arl
they irrevocably lost ? AfrlghtfuJ
thought !
When Death la reaping so rank a
harvest through war, pestilence and
famine, can we bear to believe It?
What of those beloved fathers, huav
bands, brothers, sons yours or nomS ,
others' who have fallen on the blood- .
drenched fields beyond the seas ars .
they, because unbaptised, to b forevef
shut out from the Klngom of Ood, eves
though they have died martyrs to thd
cause of the Divine purpose in tha vin
dication of the liberties of mankindl
Verily, No! The living may be bap V
tired for the dead, as they were Is
earlier dispensations. Pondesr the pro
found significance of Paul s ellmacterif
question relating to the actuality of ths
resurrection: "Klae what shall they da
which are baptized for the dead, if ths
dead rise aot at stilt Why are they thes
baptised for the dead! (I Cor. 13:29).
Those still in the flesh may officiate
vicariously for their departed progen
ltors; but for this service the genealogy
of the dead is indispensable. Further
more, vicarious ordinances are admin,
istered only In sacred Temples reared,
dedicated and maintained for this minis
try : for so the Lord has directed.
Hence the Latter-day Saints are dili
gently seeking out the -records of their
dead and are ministering for them in
holv Temples. This we hold to b ths
bou'nden duty of the living tn behalf od
the departed, the discharge of which is
as truly essential to our exaltation as ;
to theirs.
