According to a leading trade
authority tho government definite
ly corroborated assertions that the
United States has only sufficient
bread wheat available for domestic
requirements until another crop Is
gathered or prices advanced to a
level that will cheik wheat use.
The most active trading was In
Mny delivery. Initial quotations for
May were $1.67& to $1.70 and des
pite rapid subsequent changes the
market held most of the thins near
to the top opening figures.
The steepest ascent of prices to
day in the wheat market was 9
cents a bushel for December de
livery, old-style that Is, wheat de
liverable this month, permitting
certain grades of northern spring
wheat to be furnished wiinout in
curring penalties here that would
otherwise bo exacted. Now style
IWninbcr contracts, In which most
or the business for that month is
outstanding, showed an almost
equal Jump, fl i cents a bushel to
1.7 Ott.

8 net higher, December $1.73 to
$1.73 Vi and May $1.71 ft to $1.71-
Later tho corn market was re
sponsive to wheat strength. Corn

d in the last hour hour of trad'
Ing, the May delivery and July de

ARE CLEANED UP
Portland, Dec. 23. (A. P.) The
local turkey market did a "right
.. nhuut . fnr.A"..-. t his ...mnrnlnn nnil
caught many lato buyers unawares.
Yesterday tho market had all ap
pearances of slipping and natural
ly buyers held off. Wholesalers had
to shade prices nnd In some In
stances birds In quantity lots were
lumped off at 42 to 43 cents and
the commission men attempted to
keep their supplies moving.
Then late In the afternoon re
ceipts stopped coming In. Almost
at the same timo the demand com
menced to pick up and select tur
keys were soon at a premium.
Another factor that bulled the
local market wan heavy shipments
of dressed stock to the San Krnn-
cisco market for the new yenrs
trade. Shipments were being load
ed at the Admiral line dock most
of tho night and It Is understood
that the Admiral Evans will have
more than 50,000 poudns of tur
keys abroad when she sails today.
Fancy birds were bringing 46
to 40 cents along Front street at
noon and were sunrce. Even No. 2
stocks nro cleaning up and it Is
doubtful if anything will bo left
by the close of day.
Other lines of poultry are also
cleaning up. Young, d reused dueks
were scarce and in demand at 3T
to 38 cents; geese brought 28 to
30 cents and chickens 28 to 30
cents.
The lorol egg market Is showing
t steady tone. Firsts and mediums
are up a cent on the dairy ex
change with other grades holding
steady and unchanged.
All grades of buttcf are steady
and unchanged In the local mar
ket. Country dressed calves are scorce
and firm. Top veal la bringing 16
lot.lG',4 cents today. Country re
ceipts light. There nro a few hogs
coming In but the demand Is lim
ited nnd prices are easy at 16 ft to
10 cents.

After the entertainment a ban
quet Was greatly enjoyed. This was
planned and served by tne post
matrons and past patrons of the
Chanter under the direction of
Mrs. Moore, a committee from tne
Masonic lodge assisting.
a special law whereby it received
the federal aid.
Tho rural post roads act is quot
ed as providing ''That all roads
constructed under the provisions
of this act shall be tree from tolls
of all kinds." The federal high
ways act is quoted to the same ef
fect. Under these various acta it Is
alleged that the federal govern
ment has paid many millions of
dollars to tho state of Oregon,
and that tho money has been used
for the construction and recon
struction of many thousands of
miles of primary or interstate
highways and secondary or lnter
county highways. Practically
every public highway In the state
is involved, it is averred.
The complaint then cites the
Oregon law requiring automobile
owners to pay license fees. These
are termed illegal exactions "for
the sole purpose of obtaining com
pensation for the use of highways
in the state of Oregon by motor
vehicles.'' Such exactions are al
leged to be tolls.
The complaint will be filed in
the federal court In Portland to
day. The case will be important
in many states.

REED TAKES TWO
STRAIGHT FALLS
Robin Rrcd, Olympic champion
and contender for the world's wel
terweight title, won two clean cut
falls from Hoy Carver, Astoria, last
night. In the first .professional
wrestling match staged hero in
recent yenrs. The first fall came
Just before tho first rest period
gong was sounded. Iteed came In
to action with a dash and after
escaping several toe holds broke
through Carver's defense and pin
ned to the mat with a reversed full
Nelson which paralyzed the Astor
ia wrestler. The second fall came
at the end of 52 minutes or 22 mln
utes nnd 21 seconds after the rest
period.
Tho Astoria wrestler won many
admirers although he lost the
match. The crowd showed keen
delight In tho punishing Jul-Jitsn
holds administered by Carver. By
hls-nblllty to reach for too holds,
Carver caused a bit of uneasiness
In the Heed corner but each time
the holder of the western welter
weight title broke nwoy usually by
throwing Carver against tho ropes.
At the end of forty minutes of
wrestling the fans were brought to
their feet when Carver secured e
wrist lock combined with his Jul
Jltsu punishment on Reed's nock
Heed was dazed and not far from
unconsciousness but countered
with a head lock and managed to
break avvny. At (he end of the 22
minutes and 21 seconds Reed sent
tho Astoria wrestler to the mat
whon he got a half body scissors
nnd an arm lock. He has forced
Cnrver Into a painful straight arm
twlt just prior to this, the As
toria wrestler being barely able to
get out from the punishing hold.
The match was marked by clean
and sportsmanlike methods. Carver
former holder of a welterweight
title In Canada, still shows the ef
fect of injuries received In a mat
struggle th:it kept him out of the
gnme for a yeor.
In the preliminary Tiny Simmons
142 pound wrrstler, conch of the
Philomath Athletic club took two
falls from Chuck Taylor of Alsea.
Both wrestlers displayed plenty of
speed. The first fnM rnme at the
end of 6 minutes and fifty seconds
by a long arm scissors. The second
fall rnme with the same hold.

ing Is certain as yet. A schedule

STATE RIGHT TO
TAX STAGE LINES
TAKEN TO COURT
Contending that the state can
not legally, bccnuso of inhibitions
of the federal constitution, collect
license fees for the operation of
motor vehicles on tho highways
of Oregon, several truck and trans
portation lines of the state have
brought suit in tho federal court
in Portland to enjoin Secretary of
State Kozer from collecting the
fees. Tho plnlntlffn are tho Port
land-Hood River Truck lino, In
terstate Truck service. Alert
Transfer & Storage company,
Heddaway Truck Line, Inc., and
others.
Constitutionality of the llconst
law Is attacked on grounds that
ft Is the exaction of a toll, and
that tolls for tho use of roads to
ward tho conat ruction of which
tho government contributes arc
prohibited by the constitution.
Tho complaint cites an act of
congress In 1916 providing that
tho government should aid the
states in the construction of rural
post roads. It Is cited that the
state of Oregon assented to this
act, and enacted In the legislature
