Dairy ex change quotations were unchanged except that first grade fresh eggs were up two cents to 45 cents per dozen. Call for country dressed meats and live poultry offered In the local market was sufficient this morning to absorb most new receipts of choice quality stuff at steady prices. Choice veal was getting 17, 17 14 and occasionally 18 cents per pound while best quality hogs were selling from IS to 15'j cents per pound. Lambs were steady around 20 to 21 cents. Moderate supplies of live poultry were cleaning up at prices steady and unchanged since the first of the week. A very good call Is re. ported for young turkeys, now quot ed from 30 to 33 cents per pound. Concord grapes were in large sup ply on the wholesale market and showing generally unproved condi- tion. Excellent Concords could be had at three and one half cents per pound. Faacy Roseburg Jonathan apples were quoted at (2.25 per box and extra fancys, in large sizes, were held at $2.50.

For the most part the meeting was peaceable. There were some sharp prods at the council members, and Alderman W. H. Dancy and W. W Rosebraugh, both members of the special Incinerator committee, grew warm under the collar at times. Dancy denied that the site pro. posed lor tne incinerator Is ever overflowed. He said it never had been. The incinerator proposed he declared is absolutely odorless. He cited the city of Greensboro, N. C, where there Is an incinerator within 1800 feet of a first class hotel and an office building between the two and no one objecting. PRESENT SITE DISCARDED A club member wanted to know why the present city dump grounds couldn't be used as a location for the incinerator. Dancy said It would cost $5000 to prepare the site, while the site proposed by the committee will cost only $275. To get a site north of Salem where both the In clnerator and the future sewage dis posal plant might be located Dancy said It would cost $500 or $000 an acre, and that under present de velopments of those things about 10 acres would be necessary. C. W. Barker,, a club member, wanted to know what would be done with unburnable garbage. Dancy replied that this would be used for filling purposes In various parts of the city. Tin cans, he explained would go through the Incinerator, where they would be much reduced In bulk, and the remains of them would be used for filling material. "It will be absolutely odorless, and it will be sightly," Rosebraugh said "If It were to be located near our (councllmen's) homes we wouldn't object. If we locate It In the pro posed place some of you will live to see the day when you will thank this committee tor what It did. Going further Into the sewage dis posal question. Rosebraugh said these plants have not been per fected, that they are unsatisfactory and scientists still are working on them. BURNS DKV GARBAGE Asked how the fire would be kept going in the Incinerator, Rose braugh replied that the garbage If 35 per cent dry would be Its own fuel, and that Salem garbage Is drier than that. It was believed that some "hog fuel might have to be used. Dancy and Rosebraugh assured the club members that the outfit would be bought on the guarantee that It Is odorless. If not, the com. pany selling It would have to take It away. A housewife objected to the "old smelly wagons" that haul the garb age. The answer to this was that the wagons would be scalded at Uie incinerator plant and would be cov cred when hauling garbage. One citizen suggested that If the Incinerator was going to be such a thing of beauty as the councllmen claimed, It ought to be downtown where people could see It. "You vote $1VOOO more bonds to buy a site and we'll put It there,' retorted Dancy. "I ll sell you my lot." Mr. Williams objected to all the garbage from the canneries, the hotels and the 63 eating places In the city being hauled through the southeast Salem resilience district. He thought It should go north on a railroad street. CIIKSY IS OBJECTOR In reply to various questions the councllmen said it would be only a matter of time until the city takes over the garbage collection Instead of letting It out to private people. Former Mayor John B. oiesy, a member of the club, applauded the committee for Its work, but objected to the location of the Incinerator on the proposed site. "It la further handicapping this district," he declared. "Not only do we not want It. but we must get rid of those disgraceful slaughter houses." Alderman Purvlne, a representa tive of Southeast Salem on the city council, said he had always held to the Idea of having both the In cinerator and the garbage disposal plant on the same plot of ground. But he thought th latter was a long way In th future, that there should b no objection on th Incinerator going to the proposed location and tlx committee should go ahead. WOOL PRICES HOLDING STEADY MOHAIR QUIET Boston, Mass., Oct. 21. CT The Commercial Bulletin will say to morrow: 'In a market only moderately ac tive all descriptions of wool have remained firm, and medium wools, quarter bloods n particular, have risen In price again. Altogether, the market Is strong and healthy. Noth ing new with reference to the fall clip Is reported. "The foreign markets hold steady and the tendency of prices on the choicer wools Is upward. Bradford reports rather better business. La bor troubles threaten In Germany. "The mill situation la without ma terial change. Independent top mak ers and spinners find the market still a narrow one but the larger factor are well occupied, although new business Is less active apparent ly ai the moment. "Mohair Is rather quiet but steady. Texas growers still reject all bids although some consignments are ru mored to have been effected."

Then the secretary said also that military purposes were involved In the lease and that details could not be made public without the author ity of the president, but he enclosed memorandum giving the high spots in the lease signed by Sinclair. It was after receipt of this letter that Senator La Follette set In mo tion machinery of the senate, the operation of which resulted In the sensational Investigation of 1923-24. As the correspondence was read and as Smith continued bis testi mony Fall appeared calmer than he did on yesterday when he stratled attorneys and spectators by sud denly rising from his seat and ad dressing tha court In an effort to have admitted testimony be said was vital to his defense. He was watched closely by spectators who apparently were awaiting some other dramatic move on his part. Smith told the court that he sent a geologist, K. C. Heald, to Teapot Dome at the suggestion of Fall to investigate reported danger of drain age. "Heald told Secretary Fall In my presence," said Dr. Smith, "that there was no Imminent danger of drainage in Teapot Dome. I do not remember that I did more at that time than to vouch for Heald. "Three days later I went to Fall's office with a written transcript of Heald's oral statement, which I gave the secretary. After that I was not consulted by Fall about Teapot Dome at any time." . PRUNE GROWERS FAILED IN RETURNS Forest Grove, Ore., Oct. 21 VP) Prune growers of the Forest Grove district who sold their fruit through a brokerage will meet Saturday In the chamber of commerce rooms to discuss action for recovering pay ments for shipments made by brok ers. , Green prunes, grown by local or chardlsts, were shipped to the east where their acceptance was refused. As there was misunderstanding whether the brokers took the fruit pn consignment or bought It, dis pute arose when payment to the growers was refused. Beside the ex pected loss of crops, the fruit men are now faced with the prospect of paying for the packing and shipping. as Is shown by "liability statement received In the last few day by sev eral growers from the brokera. 173 EGGS LAID BY HEN IN 173 DAYS Omaha, Neb., Oct. 20.

And the piano? The George Steck, an instrument of splendid musical quality and tradition, available in either of two sizes: The 4-foot 6-inch model, for smaller living-rooms, its price $88$; or The 4-foot 9-inch, slighdy more imposing model, priced $00. In our judgment these are the lowest priced high-grade grand pianos that are known. The dainty 4-foot 6-inch instrument is the smallest high- grade grand piano made. Each instrument is finished exquisitely in two-tone mahogany, a feast for the eye, and its tone is a joy to the musician's soul. The George Steck is an "international" piano. It is made in America, England, France, Germany, and Australia. It is a fine old make, dating back to 1857, and was winner of First Prize in Vienna as long ago as 1873. It won First Prize at Philadelphia's Centennial in 1876. Franz Liszt played and praised the George Steck piano. Richard Wagner had one in his home at Bayreuth. Its great modern factory, near Boston, is a division of the Aeolian Company, makers of the famous Duo-Art reproducing piano. In presenting the George Steck in either of two sizes for as little as thirty five dollars down, we are making it possible for homes to take immediate ; possession of a very desirable grand piano instead of waiting unnecessarily, or buying one that is too cheap to be enduringly sadsfactory. The balance, ' payable out of your income, may be spread over a period of years.
