THANKSGIVING WILL COST A LITTLE IRE Pendleton's Thanksgiving din ner this year will cost more than It did a year ago owing to the advances In the prices of foodstuffs, but the Increase will not be as great as many people suspect. The cost' of a Thanks giving turkey this year will not be any more than last year, ac cording to local markets. Re tall quotations for top dressed turkeys vary from 28 to 30 cents, which was about the range a year ago. In Portland the lowest quo tation for No. 1 turkeys is 32 cents with No. 2 stuff selling for several cents less. It is re ported that turkeys are plenti ful in the state but that other states are drawing heavily on the supply. One local market is sending to Seattle today a big shipment The price of grain has been so high that many of the turkeys are not fattened up as much as In for mer years. Other Thanksgiving delica cies such as cranberries, mince meat, raisins, etc., show a rise over last year although some of the merchants protected their customers by early buying. Cranberries are selling as low as two quarts for a quarter here and raisins as low as 1 1 cents a package.
