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."

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

"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

PERMITTED SHEEP
TO STARVE TO DEATH
(Continued from page 1)
Koon had been previously notified
that the feed was exhausted. Coon
said that because the weather was
mild In the Willamette valley he
thought the sheep could forage but
the officers said the animals had
eaten the ground entirely bare.
The sheep were leased by Koon
to Dr. Biddle, on shares, last fall.
Soon afterward, Dr. Biddle was
taken 111 and is still confined to
Eugene hospital. Since his illness
what feed has been taken to the
animals was furnished by Koon
according to the testimony, but he
took none In since January.
"In my eight years as a humane
officer, I have never seen a worse
case of animal starvation," Cross
told the court, "and I assure you
I have seen some pretty awful ones
before this."
The case will come before the
grand Jury April 7.

Portland VPh-Reviewing the fruit
and vegetable situation, the Port
land bureau of the United States de
partment of agriculture says:
"The fresh fruit and vegetable
market showed strength in most
lines. Asparagus supplies were very
light, but prices were not advanced,
in view of anticipated heavier ar
rivals later in the week.
"Cauliflower supples are light, es
pecially Oregon stock. 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.
Much -stock Is (ailing to attain mar
ketable size.
The onion market Is almost de
moralized; demand Is very slow at
all terminal points; and Oregon
growers are now receiving 50 to 60c
per cwt plus sacks.
The lettuce market is firm, ior
good fresh stock; some over-mature
offerings are draggy, however.
'Fresh arrivals of good quality
beets from California are moving at
slightly higher prices, t3.25-$3.50 P
crate.
Tomatoes are a trifle easier, al
though best quality Is steady at
$4.50 per crate of repacked stock.'
FATHER ACTS TO
SOUASHMARRIAGE
(Continued from p.ige 1)
Smith said, and after the marriasc
came to San Francisco with his
wife.
About a month later the girl cams
to her parents here, claiming her
husband had been unkind to her,
according to Smith, after a brief
lapse of time a friend told them
Sears had secured a divorce.
Then, the father continued, Dor
cia met Madriaga and following a
short courtship the paid went to Ti
juana, Mexico. ?
When taken into custody at Brem
erton, local police were advised, th:
Filipino produced a Mexican mar
riage certificate purporting to show
that he married Dorcia two weeks
ago.
Smith said Madriaga ana nis
daughter came home after the trip
to Mexico, and told him they were
married. He objected and Immedi
ately sent to Sacramento to deter
mine whether the friend had told
him the truth about Seara obtain
ing a divorce. He found out that ho
such action had been taken, Mrs.
SUlivan said, and informed the
young couple he would call In police.
In respanse, he charged, Madriaga
threatened to kill him if he ever
tried to separate them.
A few hours later the Filipino and
his young white bride ran away and
Smith went to Mrs. Sullivan to
swear out the warrants.
Bremerton officials have been ad
vised by local police to hold the
couple. Smith, however, does not
have the money to bring them back
so Mrs. Sullivan said she was at a
loss to predict the next move In the
case.

of the semi-final contests. Both
squads have had a good rest and the
barrage of shots should pe particu

Of main interest to local fans,
however, Is the semi-final between
Salem and Commerce of Portland.
Supporters of the red and black.
elated over Salem's clean cut vic
tory over Baker Thursday after
noon, and pointing to the elimina
tion of Ashland by the eastern Ore
gon squad, freely predict a win for
the horns town squad. Since the
game means the elimination of one
or the other f the squads, a fierce
engagement is likely to say the
least. The Sale m-Commerce battle
is due for 8:30 p.m.
Despite the earliness ot the hour,
a good sized crowd of fans was on
hand Friday morning to ace the
consolation games. The attendance
Thursday night was up to ths aver
age of former years.
Showing a woeful lack of coor
dination in their maneuvers
throughout the entire session, Ash
land high played Its final game of
the tournament when the Lithians
were put out of the running by
Baker high, 39 to 26 in a consola
tion affair.
Ashland had the better of the
first quarter play, with goals by

Into the lead by a clean 6hot by
Howard. From that period on Baker
was not to be denied. It Increased its
lead to 33 to 17 at halt time. By
three-quarter time the score was 32
to 24 for the winners. The final per
iod found Ashland putting up a fu
tile battle alter Howell, big Llthian

sonal fouls.
Crawford, Baker guard, put In a
strong bid for all-state team by his
work in the Ashland game. He gar
nered four field goals In the first
half, but was held to one basket and
two free throws in the second half.
The second game of the consola
tion rounds played' this morning
resulted in a win for Eugene over
Tillamook after the latter had an
nexed a one point lead 9 to 8, at
the half. Berg, flashy Eugene for
ward, put the game on ice for his
team by his sensational work in the
second period when he shot four
field goals. Tne teams battled on
even terms throughout the third
period for the most part, with Eu
gene having a three point lead at
the end oi that time.
Tillamook missed several "set-ups"
during the closing minutes. These
misplays, together with the Inabil
ity of the cheesemakers to cash in
on free throws cost them the con
test. White, center fur Tillamook
played one of the best pivot games
of the series. Summaries:
