"With Iho street well supplied, the butcher trade filled up and cool era heavily stocked, the market Ik very depressed. Trade Una dwind led aa the receipts pile. Even when values have been lowered buyers failed to tako hold. Today the extreme top on choice light calves is 12 to VlVt cents. Very few sale are made even at these level and It take extra fancy veal to bring the top. Yesterday afternoon f;ood calves sold at 11 to 11 cents nnd then they had to be wLshcd on .c butcher trade. ThiH morning butchers were apparently not Interested. Weather during tho past few days has been favorable for ship ping and country meats are arriv ing in good shupe. Hogs Are Weak Country killed hoga are barely holding at lti to 17 cents, l'ork receipts are not as heavy as veal and choice light blockers move on fairly well although the deinan to limited.

Portland, Juno 10 The largest sale of wool made In the northwest his season was closed yesterday when 11. Stanley Coffin of Yakima sold 2,500,000 pounds or coarse wool to be shipped to Boston. The price was nround 35 cents. The wool Is In storage nt the Western Wool Warehouse. Mr. Coffin still has unsold about 200,000 pounds ol Tine wool. No husinesH has been reported In the Interior recently. Dealers have out out bids of from 32 35 cents, but no determined effort bus been matte to buy, ns the ma Jorlty of growem were holding out for a higher price. With tho cur rent market established at the 35 ent level, n shown by tho Coffin deal, It Is thought likely there will ho morn of a disposition now on the pnrt of buyers and sellers to get together. Of the market condition at Ttos on yesterday 'he government dally wool uulletlu said: The wool market has been some what morn active and manufactur ers are showlne more Interest in stocks of the raw product.

No finw. however, were imposed. On that :itreot the ;ule Is parallel park In 1, ivith the curb line occauso of the Oregon Kb'tirlc tracks on the streot. This Is oojcctionable be cause of the down-hill pitch of tne street, which causes the cam. when purko'l parallel to be head ed dowd grade. Several citizonr. In that district today pxprevy.ed themttcives as do- :i: roits of a head-on parking; ordi nance. Parallel marking nllowes nly a few earn to park In the block end also makes it extremely itflcult to get a car out of the line when driving away. Tho head- systen, it is declared, is the only method that would allow of 11 y where near enough room In the block." Under tho present sys tem some of the rusinetw men find it necesnary to .ark on another itreet entirely, far from tholr 1 area of ousIiioms.

LARGE SIZES IN FRUIT IM PUT CROP TOTALS UP Portland, June 1 0 Abundance of soil moisture, and the light set of fruit, which Indicate that sizes will range unusually large may pro duce a fruit crop for Oregon larg er than present estimates, snya F. L. Kent, statistician of the depart ment of agriculture in report on a survey of the etate during the last ten daya of May. These conditions, he points out. may overcome to a large extent the handicaps of the unusually dry season last year, the light bloom this spring, nnd the fact that cold rainy weather at pollination time Interfered with normal setting of the fruit. There was some loss of trees from winter cold, he says. There was also considerable winter dam-! age to loganberries, raspberries j and blackberries. Last year's weather conditions affected pears unfavorably, and the spring weather was had at pol linatlon time. The Rogue river district had an early prospect for 3000 car crop, but Indications now are for about 1500 cars. Pros pects aro very good in the Hood River district, with indications of more than 50 per cent increase over last year. Many of the older prune trees, particularly those which have not had good care in the past, suffer ed from the winter. Some trees were killed outright, but a much larger number show from few to many dead limbs Interspersed with tho live ones. Cold rains fol lowing blooming are held partly responsible for the light set of fruit, which In some localities. promises to be not more than 10 per cent of a normal crop. The crop for tho etate as a whole will probably not exceed 35 per cent of a normal crop, which at this time should be around 80,000,000 pounds of dried fruit or its fresh equivalent. DARROW AND COLBY WILL FACE BRYAN (Continued from page one) Actual work of construction of the new Salem Y. M. C. A. build ing began today. Ten tons of iron to be used In reinforcing the con crete arrived last night. The re mainder is expected within a few days. The last shovelful of dirt was removed from the excavation yesterday. A tool shed has al ready been built on the parking strip south of the site of the build n& The building Itself Is expected bo completed by December 15, 925. Tho total cost Is estimated at 156,306.50. Of this amount $120, 000 will go Into .construction of the building, $20,000 will be paid for ho furniture, $1 5,000 has been paid for the lot, located on Court t root opposite tho pontoff ice. 1234 will be paid for the work of xcavation nnd $672.50 will be paid for digging the sewer. The building will be of rein forced concrete, with an exterior C stucco. Tho construction con act was nwardod to Wechter and lughen of Salem, tlio wiring con tract to tho Salem Electric com pany, nnd tho plumbing contract to Hturgis and Sturgls of Portland. Thero will be four floors, includ ing tho basemrttt. There will be deep tiled swimming pool In the basement, which local Y. M. C. A. authorities declare will be second none on the Pacific coast. It ill measure 60 by 20 feet. The building will contain two complete gymnasiums, 39 dormitory rooms. open hand ball courts, two en closed hand ball courts four club rooms, various lobbies and other equipment. There will be two sep- rate entrances to the place, one for boys and one for men. cushions oi the bible and evolu tion were touched upon by Secre tary Wilbur of the navy depart ment in a prepared commencement address today at Duke university, on the subject "Conimon Sense." Quoting as his text, "If any man lack wisdom let him ask of God who giveth abundantly and up braideth not, and it shall be given him. " Commop Sense Need Appealing for application of common sense to many of the problems of life Mr. Wilbur said: "We need common Bense in re ligion.' "If the bible is the inspired word of God, as we believe, "he added, "then he created the uni verse and left the record of that creation lor ever inscribed upon an created things. There are at least two divine hooks, the Holy Bible, on whose pages are in scribed the doings and sayings of holy men and the book of nature. A part of this historical story is piamiy written upon the geolog ical strata which circumscribe the globe. Common sense suggests that these two records be con sidered together and to reject and utterly Ignore either is equally foolish. "Science today, whatever else it may have accomplished, has demonstrated that the universe is constructed on a plan and have been created according to laws which still operate daily. These results not only suggest, hut they demand a Planner and a Creator and a law giver. Reason cannot go so far as to discover these laws and plans and created things without going a step further to the creator, discerning some of his attributes by the things he has done. Faith Held Need ('I waB asked the other day if I believed In a future life, and what proof there was of such life. I replied that it took faith to ap prehend and believe -In a future life. But there are ample proofs of a future life if we care to weigh them and the fundamental one around which all others cen ter is the resurrection of Jesus Christ. If Christ rose from the I dead It proves tfiat there Is a future life. What evidence is there of his resurrection? This desk behind which I stand, this building in which I speak, this institution In which you are trained and every Christian church in existence and every christian institution and every christian in the universe now and since the day of the resurrection is evidence of the resurrection. It was this incident which transformed the eleven dissiples from fleeing cowards appalled and dismayed at the crucifixion into inspired prophets who assailed the world single handed and sought In a gen eration to convert all men to Christianity and to a belief In the resurrection. It was faith in this resurrection that enabled men who had fled from mere rebuke or censure to calmly face a niurtyr's death. "To believe In such a trans formation of the dead plea without an adequate cause- requires great er credulity than to believe in tho resurrection and when they them selves asserted the resurrection ot Jesus as the source of their inspir ation they furnished the explana tion of thlr conduct and gave evidence of tho truth of their assertion' WA Renting a Home? First of all, look to its Electrical Convenience One thing affecting the comfort of any home , you rent is the completeness of the electrical a installation. Nowadays, no house is a home without convenient connections for electrical appliances, without correct lighting and with out standard wiring devices. In renting a house make sure of its electrical in stallation by asking if the wiring was done by a "Check" Seal contractor. The "Check" Seal iden tifies qualified electrical contractors who employ good workmanship and install standard wiring de vices. Also when you need electrical appliances re v member that the "Check" Seal identifies electrical retailers who sell quality electrical merchandise.
