OREGON FRIDAY, MARCH 21, 1930 BUTTER FIRM, EGGS STRONG, LAMBS STEADY Portland, fLP Only a very small increase In butter production has been shown in western states re cently. Latest figures Indicate but 1.73 per cent Increase in the output in the entire west. Practically all of this gain Is noted In southern Cal ifornia and Nevada. Most a cuts shortage of butter the local trade has known for an ex tended period fe still reflected here. Naturally this keeps the price list for both butter and butterfat very lirm. Indicating the keen demand for supplies to go into store is the strong bidding for eggs at country points. As much as lc premium over extras at Portland Is reported for delivery here. 2 Strong tone is generally contin ued In the market for chickens. A shortage of all sorts, but especially light weights continues. Heavy stuff Is showing i firmer tone. There appears a somewhat less ur gent demand for country killed hogs at the moment owing to the oner- lng of low priced cuts by packers. A general market on light butchers is around M-14'aC with a few 15c pound. While the market Is merely steady for ordinary supplies of country killed lambs, farmer killed stuff which can be shipped Interstate, Is in better demand than supply. With many consignments reported, It is extremely difficult at this time to find cash offers for carload lots of onions at country points. Sales here are reported to retailers from 75c to il.50 with few above $1 to $1.25 cental. Local storage holdings of apples are being cleaned up in an effort of the trade to avoid losses later in the season. Only nominal stocks are now held here. Most of these are of domestic sizes. Sales of Oregon caught troll chl noo : salmon to Seattle and to Cali fornia points are reported here with demand in excess of supply. Qual ity of fish is unusually good. Carload of asparagus in to relieve local shortage; sales slightly lower. Potato trade steady to a trifle easier here and In the country. Hali but market indicates an advance with smaller catches. Spinach Is scares with prices steady to firmer. Orange market is firmer with 176s and smaller up 25c case. Turkey supplies still liberal with demand fair. Rhubarb market firm with hot house very scarce. STREET CAR WAGE STILL UNDECIDED Portland (IP) The Portland street car men's wage dispute was still very much up in the air Fri day after a lengthy conference be tween the wage committee of the carmen's union- and Franklin T. Griffith, president of the utility. The meeting was taken up with a discussion of working conditions arrangements for a further confer ence, and setting Thursday, March 27 at 2 p. m. as the date of the next meeting. A new company policy of offer ing life Insurance free of cost to the amount of $1,000 for each em ploye on the payroll was an nounced by Griffith. If no definite agreement can be reached, contracts call for sub mission of the question to a board of arbitration consisting of three men, one representing the em ployes, one the management and a third to be selected by both.

LABISH SOIL- IS PREPARED Labish Center Wltli the pros pect of fair weather and practically all possibilities of floods over the farmers of Labish Center have been very busy getting their soil ready for seeding onions. A num ber of the fanners have already started seeding, a Job which Is done almost entirely by seeders equipped with gasoline engines of one and one half horse power. With the use of power machines three rows of onions can be plant ed at once eliminating much time as the hand seeders are slower and plant but one row at a time. For maldhyde has proved a valuable asset to growers and at present nearly everyone uses it diluted with water and placed In tanks on the seeders when the seed Is planted to preccnt smut, which Is found In the ground and affects the onions after t-iey have started to grow nicely. SENATE REJECTS TARIFF ON OIL (Continued from pnge 1) est the oil advocates came to get ting their tariff. Nine democrats voted with 28 republicans for the duty while 17 republicans and 21 democrats op posed It. The filth attempt for the 011 duty brought an attack from Senator Axhurst, democrat; Arizona, on Its sponsors. The Arlzonlan in return was admonished by Vice-President Curtis for using severe language. when I was at the bar, said Ashurst, "tactics such as have been employed here on oil would have been severely denounced. I do not question the good faith of the tariff proponents but It is extremely bad taste and bad manners to call up an amendment of that kind after sena tors have gone home to a sick bed believing the oU matter settled." yhm funrn ifunu' IVVS IIL.Wfc.ll IU1VII M on tew no, Wash. tLP "We must act now.

RUSS DRAINING BERRY LAND BY MEANS OF TILE A. big ditcher owned by O. N. Partridge of Monmouth Is Just get ting under way on a drainage pro ject In the North Howell section which contemplates installation of between 30,000 and 40,000 feet of drain tile on lands belonging to O. A. Russ, Ellis Stevens, and K. D. Koomler. A good share of the land is In strawberry plantings or being set out. Twenty acres of the Russ land is an in strawberries and Stev ens is putting on a new planting, reports Frank Neer of the Salem Brick & Tile company who is en gineering the drainage project. Neer states that about 2000 feet 0: the pipe being put in as a main in the drainage system 13 12-Inch pip and the balance about equally di vided between 8-inch, 6-inch and 4 inch pipe. The land will drain into Little Pudding river. Neer states that a number of ad vantages accrue to such a drainage project, that the farmer can get onto his land much earlier after the rains, thct the soil h warmed 'p. more air gets into the soil, that the drainage is a great preventative to sourness and he states an estunate Is made that a drainage project of this nature will pay for Itself in five years from the increased yield in crops taken off the soil. Neer says a number of other pio- Jects are formulating whirli will probably be taken on when the ditcher is released Oil ths present Job. KAY SAYS TOWNS DEFAULTING BONOS (Continued from page 1) ter to the policies of the United States government and of the state of Oregon. "Ever since I have occupied the office of state treasurer, I have tried to be exceptionally cautious about investing the trust funds of the state In municipal bonds," Kay declared. "The state, however, holds a number of bonds bought by previous administrations which may cause difficulty. Recently one of the smaller cities defaulted on all of its bond Issues, and the taxpay ers of another municipality bonded for more than $450,000 refused to approve an issue of refunding bonds to pay off the maturing issues of street improvement bonds, for which funds were not available for retirement of the bonds. This action on the part of the taxpayers amounts practically to repudiation of the bond Issue for the reason that street improvement bonds have been held by the supreme court to be general obligations of the cities of Oregon. In this respect, they differ from local improvement dis trict bonds of other elates, the se curity of which is confined to the property In the particular district. it has been altogether too easy to vote bond issues for public im provements under our liberal laws. but now that the dance Is finished the municipalities are going to find difficulty in providing the cash with wheh to pay the fiddler. I do not want to be regarded as a pessimist, or as representing that In the state of Oregon, we are con fronted with a Chicago situation with respect to the indebtedners of our municipalities, but tha situation is present with us as it is with near ly every other section of the coun try. It is a natural reaction which is bound to follow an era of reck less spending, and we might as well face the issue and make tne best 01 it, bad as that best might be. "The last legislature passed a law restricting the bonding powers with respect to general obligation bonds of cities and towns to ten per cent of their assessed valuations. Tne legislature also enacted a law re quiring them to provide sinking funds for future bond issues. I be lieve that a law should be passed limting the amount of Indebtedness which a city may incur for street improvements, and that such bonds should be made serial instead of op tional. This would eliminate loss of premiums to bondholders to pre mature calling 01 tne oonai ana would stop refunding and defaults because there would be more prompt collections of delinquent assess ments against the improved prop erty." At the end or the war tne federal government owed more than twenty- five billions; today It owes about sixteen billion. 'iT.e maximum debt of the state of Oregon was about $59,000,000; it Is now $60,764,510, and will be reduced still further on Ap ril 1, 1930, through payment of $87,500 of maturing road bonds, : BOY MADE HAPPY Yakima.

Harvesting at Roeeburg is limited, and the occa sional carlot requirements are 'tak ing nearly all offerings. Winter freesing injury Is apparently more serious at that district than was originally estimated; and total pro duction may not exceed 50 to 60 cars.
