BUTTER SUPPLY
INCREASING TO
DEPRESS PRICE
Portland (IP) Surprising Increas
es In butter production throughout
the United States continue in spite
of the winter weather In most sec
tions. The great Increase in the
seasonable churning has added ad
ditional weakness to an already
badly depressed trade situation.
The greater make along with the
almost record hole::?,; of butter la
store, are factors that tend to cre
ate only lower prices In leading
markets of the country.
While there was no change in the
local egg price for the day. further
easiness is Indicated In the Calif
ornia trade. Local lay Is reported
as showing little change in volume.
There was practically no change
In the live chicken demand for the
week end. Late arrivals have been
scant. This appears all that has
kept the price where It stands.
Improved trading tone continues
In the market for country killed
calves although prices are little
changed. Hogs are fully steady and
the lamb situation Is favorable.
With a further gain in the sup
ply reported, the market for po
tatoes reflects a generally weak
tone locally as well as at primary
points of the Pacitic Northwest.
Onions shaw a like condition.
Most local retailers are loyal to
the local cranberry Industry altho
some are featuring eastern stock
even at higher prices than locals.
The latter are considerd of best
quality. Even Astoria is selling east
ern cranberries.
Demand for walnuts Is now sea
sonable with the Oregon stock tak
ing almost the entire trade. Fil
berts are very scarce and firmly
priced. Almonds are almost too
high to force a movement.

"As a member of the county court
I would be glad to have all of the
activities of the court Investigated
from any angle desired during the
several years I have been connected
with It. I am sure every member of
the court would give the fullest co
oprcatton to any authorized com
mute as there is nothing the court
does or has done but it would like
to submit to the fullest public scru
tiny. However, we believe an investi
gation of this nature should cover
the entire field.
"We believe that any Investiga
tion which Is made should cover
all offices with which the county Is
connected and not Just be applied
to one.
"For instance we believe It should
possibly start with the county court
as the chief money spending body
of the county and should Include
the circuit Judges as well as other
county officials.
"There Is certainly nothing sacred
about the county court that the peo
ple who pay the bills should not
know about and I believe the same
thing holds true about other courts
and other offices.
"Yes, we would welcome such an
investigation, but when it is done
it should be very thorough and
cover both the activities and Inac
tivities, II any, of all our officials."

The convict was paroled, and
Richardson la quoted as saying
that "the last I heard of him he
was in Vera cruz, Mexico.
The slaying occurred In Janu

generally believed Taylor was killed
by narcotic peddlers or one of the
actress with whom ne was iriena
ly, or by some admirer of his actress-friends.
