(From Wednesday's Journal.)
Very heavy supplies of cuttle were
duo to arrive in the North Portland
market late this afternoon. Two
trains were due, one containing about
30 loads of livestock and another 11
loads. While sheep and hogs are firm
and In good demand, there Is but one
buyer willing to take cattle Just now.
Notwithstanding this one cow sold
at 16 this morning. This was far out
of line with general conditions owing
to exceptional quality.
The extreme strength of the oattlo
situation elsewhere Is likely to cause
a shortage in local supplies after the
present surplus is out of the way.
Cattle prices are firm all over the
country, Portland being a notable ex
ception. The wants of the trade here
are not heavy and therefore whenever
a good run Is presented it has a reac
tionary effect upon values.
Without a place to take care of the
surplus except at high prived feeding
grounds, the local trade is not in a
position to successfully compete with
more fortunate centers in this respect.
Only a few cattle came forward to
North Portland today, but this did
not move quickly.
North Portland cattle prices:
Heavy fancy steers $6.356 45

Portland today lost Its reputation
of being the highest priced swine
market in the country. Chicago ov

15c during the day and the market
was' very firm.

There, was still another famine day
In the mutton market at North Port
land today. The only arrivals were
48 head and these were brought In
by the regular buyer of the Union
Meat company for that concern.
The situation in the mutton trade
is extremely good. Demand Is In
creasing while offerings for this mar
ket are smaller. This is due entire
ly to the fact that better prices are
available at other centers. Therefore
the movement of sheep Is away from
here.

THE CENTEK OI' TILE CHEAT LAND OF CANADA'S RICHEST
PROVINCE.
Population Last Year, 200, Now 2000, End of This Year, 10,000.
Fort George and its surrounding territory offer to the right man
better chances than can be found anywhere else on the continent.
The country is young and exceedingly wealthy In products of forest,
field and mine.
Fort George Is rated by men of affairs throughout America and
Europe as one of the railroad centers of Canada, With a level town
site, admirably located, best of water and splendid climate, it has, as
the central point of the Inland Empire of British Columbia, advan
tages enjoyed by but few other cities in the east or west. The Grand
Trunk Pacific has ordered completion of its main lino to this point
by the fall of this year, 1912. By the first of June freight should be
coming over its rails via Edmonton to I7te Jaune Cache, thence by
river steamer to Fort George.
The Edmonton Board of Trade is working hard for this and states
that the freight rate then will be three cents per pound. Ten other
railroads are Chartered to this point and at least four of these ara
looked upon as certain to come in the near future. The Canadian
Northern Railway let contracts this month for construction of a line
from Vancouver, B. C, to Fort George; also a number of other points.
If you want land that will make you money do not delay but see at
once the system in which the North Coast Land Co. Ltd., of Vancouver,
B. C, with a paid up capital of $1,500,000, will contract with you for
the purchase of acreage around the growing city of Fort George,
British Columbia.

DICTAGRAPH TRAPPED

Indianapolis. That Clarence Dar

ras, indicted on a charge of bribery
of the McNamara jury, was trapped
by the dictagraph, is the statement
made here by Walter Drew, counsel
for the National Erectors' association.
Drew declares that the dictagraphs
recorded conversations between Dar
row and John R. Harrington, counsel
associated with Darrow, which will
be used in the trials here of the al
leged dynamiters. He says that a
dictagraph in the room in the hotel
at Los Angeles occupied by Harring

Salem. Oe.. March 14. While those
members of the republican Mate cen
tral committee who denounced the
proportional scheme of voting in se
lecting presidential cleoiors and dele
gates to the national conventions fail
ed to test the law in the courts, they
still have hope that some loophole will
be found through which the central
committee may be able to have elec
tors of their own choosing.
This is Indicated l a letter receiv
ed by Attorney General Crawford
from' O. W. Nottingham, chairman of
the republican state central commit
tee. "We are not certain about the law
in regard to presidential electors and
want to know is enough candidates
do not come out nt the primary it de
volves on the state central commit
toe to get up a petition and fill any
vacancies Hint ninv remain?" ho
asks.
"The law makes no provision for se
lecting delegates except by moans of
the primary," said I. H. Van WinKie,
assistant attorney general, who has
the letter under consideration. "It
is provided bv the law that as many
electors shall bo elected as there are
offices to be filled, and that each vo
ter cun vote for but one. Each party
In Oregon is entitled to five electors,
and the five men receiving the great
est number of votes will be elected.
This offle is the same as other offi
ces, and a voter may write in the
name of any person for whom he may
wish to vote. And although there
may not be thme names of five can
didates on the ballot, I do not think
there is the slightest probability that
as many as five men wt 1 not be voted
for in each party for this office. If
a man received but one vote and no
more than four others had more
votes than that, he would bo looted."
