THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON TUESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1931 .AGE TEN EGGS HELD TOO LOW; POULTRY DEMAND FIRM Portland tlP) Egg prices at Port land have dropped entirely too low. Usually this market it lower than others along the coast but the dif ferential Tuesday was greater than normal, which has resulted in ei tremely heavy lobt.es to the produc ers. There was no further change in the price of eggs here for the day. With the love feast between the former two opposing cooperative or ganizations of the Pacific northwest, there is no longer competition among these interests, at least so far as prices are concerned. Market for butter continues to reflect easiness and even weakness despite the extreme low values now being quoted. Make is reported as holding up seasonably well. But terfat prices are almost uniform. Demand for live chickens con tinues very liberal here. No further change In the price is confirmed but full recent advances are being free ly offered. All sorts are wanted Late advance off f red for Immed iate supplies of dressed turkeys is being continued by the general trade. Some shipping orders are Confirmed. Local sales are not af fected. With the poorer sorts and lowered price stuff getting scarce, the mar ket for apples reflect a better un dertone. Recent shipment abroad have been curtailed-which Is ex pected to Influence prices some what In Europe during the next few werks. First of the season's hothou.sc rhubarb from an Oregon point In the wholesale trade is reported from the Canby section by George Pear son, specialist. Sales around $3.25 for ones and $2 for twos in 20 pound boxes. Sumner stock Is town to $2. GO for extra fancy 15s. Somewhat better supplies of Co lumbia river smelt are reported here with demand good. Most sales around 10 cents pound. There Is a good supply of crabs. Steel head salmon Is scarcer at 20 cents pound. There appears a somewhat better demand for onions at the extreme low price now generally reported. Most of the call appears from the newly opened logging camps. There Is no speculative trade. Fancy Chula Vista celery Is of fering around $6.75 crate, reports tlie West Coa-st Fruit Co. Mexican tomatoes are loner with limited call. Frosts In the San Francisco bay region are curtailing artichoke of ferings of quality. California spinach Is arriving in good shape. Sales around $3 crate of 40 pounds. Movement of oranges continues heavy. Country killed veal and hogs are steady with lambs firm. Beef in good call. ONION OUTLOOK GROWS BRIGHTER lLablsh Center The onion out look has been considerably brighter for Lablfih growers recently. Local buyers have purchased a number of cars during the past week, several of which have been shipped to California by boat from Portland. Only a few of the large number of carloads have been dis posed of In this manner, however, as practically all the onions go through the Brooks warelwuse. The price has bwn about the same, averaging around $100 to $105 a car for U. 8. No. Is with the de mand weak.

START CONSTRUCTION ON NEWWAREHOUSE 'Continued from page 11 awarded the general contract for the structure, and all local labor possible will be used, with the pos sible exception of a small crew of steel men for the placement of cer tain portions of this product. Sub contracts, uch as wiring, plumb ing, heating, etc., are to be an nounced later by Carl. Plans in clude provision for an autumatic sprinkling svfctem. Floor construc tion will follow the plan used in the new state office building, according to Munson. whose company supplied forms and steel for that building last year. Each floor will be a solid mass of steel -supported and re-in-forced concrete. The old building site will be util ized, but (he present coiwt ruction will Include only the basement floor and first floor, with provision made for two additional stories which may be added later. Under the construction plan, floors or stories may be added at will, if am ple supporting strength Is provided In wall and pillar structure.-", as any one floor, by reason of the nature of its construction, may serve as either roof or floor. While the present outlines of the building are oddly shaped, each floor will be equivalent to 144 by 144 feet square. The present plans contemplate 41, 500 square feet of storage f.pace and eventually 83,000 square feet. Workmen Tuesday were preparing for foundation footings, first steel for whtth Is expected to arrive in Salem Wednesday or Thursday. Considerable speed will result In early completion of the structure, according to Munson and Car, with steel forms up to tlie first floor level ready for the heavier concrete pouring, within ten days or two week.--. W rule preliminary details were .sufficiently advanced Monday to auMiorie the start of construction Tuesday, final details yet to be completed will not permit publica tion of financial details until the first of next week. It was stated authoritatively. However, financial arrangement? are being made locally, It is under stood. Plans to go ahead with the con struction at present came as a dis tinct surprise to the local building fraternity, for Lanier had intimat ed he did not Intend to commence operations until some time next summer. "I have made a careful and thor ough study of t;.e present situa tion,' he said, "and within the past ten days I have reached the deci sion that there could be no better time than the present to launch this building project, at a time when the employment situation for a great number of peopl 1 acute. Tlie money which will be placed In circulation will, I hope, aid to some slight extent in relieving local un employment conditions. "We will exercise every precau tion to make this tlie moct modern -ly fireproof storage warehouse- in Salem, with such safeguards as will certainly confine any possible fu ture blaze to a very limited ares probably extinguish flames even be fore they have a chance to start."

Production of refined copper in December was 106,360 short tons, against, 112,646 tons in November and 138.203 tons In De cember, 1929. This decrease in out put was considered significant for the Ind'.iMry. Refined stocks also declined from December, but were above a year ao.

Un- settlement after Monday's two cent drop in butter quotations to 24-25 cent wholesale, was the Immediate cause of e us pension of the cream trade. With production going up and consumption going down, officials said tlie company was faced with a critical situation. Increased produc tion in California has resulted from the historic position of the state as an Importer of butter. Gradually the output has caught up with de mand, until exports have developed. These factors tend to make the California market more sensitive to world and national butter market conditions and at the same time re quire a possible downward adjust- ment of prices, relative to Chicago and New York. Ban Francisco prices heretofore have been a few cent higher than the eastern quo ta uons. South Africa Is to gie financial assistance to farmers.

WHEAT PRICES ADVANCE WITH TRADING LIGHT Chicago (LP) Trade was light on the board of trade Tuesday but wheat prices averaged higher on the report that tlie farm board was buying cash wheat at Kansas City and on the strength in foreign mar kets. The market was irregular early but firmed toward the close. Corn was unsettled and averaged lower, locals pressing the market throughout the day. The strength In wheat rallied the market at the close. Oats were firm In ft dull market, holding to a narrow range. At the close wheat was Vi to cent higher, July leading, corn 1 H to H cent higher and oats were H to S cent higher. "Provi sion were strong with lard around 15 points higher. Chicago (--P) Grains scored fresh upturns Tuesday after a hesitant start. Persistent scantiness of corn, together with dearth of moisture in domestic winter wheat territory, stimulated buyers. Chairman Legge of the federal farm board was quoted as saying the grain stabilization corporation had tak en so much wheat that there was not much left to purchase. Opening unchanged to U cent off, corn later showed ft general advance. Wheat started at H cent decline to M cent advance and subsequently rose all around. WATCHFUL WAITING MARKS SENTIMENT (Continued from page I) into the hopper in one house or the other in due time. Knowing now what In a general way to expect the members are more interested in the form the bills are to take. The active Meier adherents In the senate and house are busy but most of the rest arc Just marking time, although some few are be ginning to busy themselves with their own proposals, most of which they were holding in reserve until that had more definite information as to the governor's program. About the only indications of dy namite In the message so far reveal ed were the recommendations for a state police force and a return to the old svstem whereby the com missioners of the Port of Portland were appointed by the governor. Opposition to both proposals Is making Its apearance already. Likewise has the governor s rec ommendation for "home rule" In the matter of utility regulation revived to some extent the heat of the con troversy which waged during the session of two years ago over the same Issue. Objection to this or- tion of the program is heard even among some of those generally con sidered as belonging to the Meier wing. Wriile of less statewide Interest than other matters at issue the Meier proposal to make the mem bers of the Port of Portland com mission appointive by the governor has alredy started things moving, and the rumblings being heard re calll to tlie minds of old-timers the battle which waged back in 1923 when the sotons took that power out of the hands of Gov ernor Pierce after he had announced a housecleaning of the commission and made memberships on the com mission elective by the legislature. All appointments thereto have since been dictated by the Mult nomah county legislative delegation. Most of the upstate lawmakers arc not relishing the prospect of a battle over the Port of Portland. They; view it as a Portland scrap. are more or less aware of the po litical aspects of the question and the personalities involved. Politics runs deep and of a dark and un savory flavor in the whole matter. Behind the recommendations of the governor runs a long trail of war upon the port commission and a continuous effort over a period of several years to reorganize it One of the objects of the proposed reorganization is understood to be the elimination of Senator Gus Moser as attorney for the port- Po litically Moser Is poise.- to the ad- ministration and to the forces seek ing to pain control of the port com mission. Why Governor Meier and his friends, aside from their criticism of the manner in which the port affairs are transacted, should seek to upset the system Is also some what indicated by the personnel of the present commission which in cludes such political opponents of the governor as Frank M. Warren Phil Metschan, D. K. Dawson and Henry L. Corbett, who was an op ponent of George Joseph for the republican gubernatorial nomina tion last spring. The animus of the Meier crowd 1 is, however, directed most particul- i arly toward Moser as attorney for the port. Another recommendation contain ed In the message which gives promise of some fireworks before tlie session Is over if an attempt Is made to write It into the statute books Is that asking for the crea tion of a state police department to take over enforcement of such state laws as are now enforced by the traffic department, the prohi bition department, the game and fish wardens, the fire marshals and several other semi-police agencies. Criticism of this recommenda tion, which also has numerous champions because of Its possi bilities of economy and greater efficiency, lies In the potentialities of such a department as a political machine. In the realm of politics that Is a very practical considera tion and tt may be expected to In cite the Interest not only of the army of job holders under the existing system, but also of tlie politicians who view with alarm any such concentration of power in tne or rice of tne governor. In his messaze Governor Meter estimated that the creation of state police force should save the stats from a third to a half of tlie amount now being expended upon law enforcement. For the firt time in its mauy appea ranees before the legislature the state police proposal, tills time bearina the governors approval, seems to have a chance fc enact ment. In vitw of this possibility H Is expected that the governor wilt forego making any changes In of fices which would be affected by it and which are Included in the pa tronage at his disposal for the present. This is looked upon as be ing particularly true of the office of state prohibition com 111 1 loner. MENCKEN PAYS AGED POETESS HIGH TRIBUTE Baltimore ( H. L Mencken, us ually caustic In his criticisms of life and letters, changed his role Mon day night In paying tribute to LI' zette Woodworth Reese, the poet who has just reached the age of 75. "She Is one of the Imperishable glories of American letters, and the is the most distinguished woman who has ever lived in this town, said Mencken at a meeting of tlie poetry society of Maryland at which Miss Reese was guett of honor. Four of Miss Reese's sonnets which have been set to music were sung and the poet herself read "From a Victorian Village' and "White April." In a few remarks prefarir-f? her reading she said she and Mencken had one thinjj In common: "We are both Victorians." Mencken, editor of the Anu r'K Mercury, said that the work of Miss Reese had been one of his enthusi asms since his first rending of books. "One hears she Is 75 enrs old, but the figures arc quite meaning less," he said. "She Is the younsL among us and she will ntver grow old. "All tlie rages nr.;l follies, the postures and aitilKia-itles ol her time have left her unmoved and her work unmarred. She has never forsaken true poetry to write meta physical treat l.slcs, ot' catnlosues or college yells. She writes always like the true poet that she is, without guile and out of the heart. "If Mozart were alive today he would be setting her lines to music, and if Herrick were a-r-e he would be with us tonight." AUTHORIZE GOVERNOR TO FILL VACANCIES (Continued from page 1) Representatives Bynon, Multnomah, and Scott. Umatilla, answering "no" to roll call. A bill more acceptiblc i to both houses and providing fori a permanent method of meeting such a condition as arose this year In Marion county when the two j legislators died after election and before the leitislature convened will be offered later in the session Representative James W. Mott, Marion, expressed disapproval to the measure in its present form but voted for Us passage in view of the present situation. Tlie principle in-1 volved, he maintained is against the constitutional principles of gov ernment in that the executive de partment should fill vacancies in the legislative department and the bill, as offered, is wrong in theory and practice. Because of the pe culiar situation which has arisen, he was voting in favor of its pas sage with the understanding that another bill would provide a sound er arrangement. The bill in the main simply pro vides that the governor shall ap point a successor to the place va cated, subpect to confirmation by a majority of the house in which the vacancy occurs, the appointee to hold, oifice until the next bi ennial election. For the first time In the mem ory of John Hunt, veteran chief clerk of the senate who has held office since 1907, the bill, with amendments attached, was rushed from the senate to the house with out first being sent to the com mittee for engrossing and enrolling of bills. Much of the house morning per iod was taken up with adjournment until the Bennett-Brown bill was received. A Joint resolution was In troduced pertaining to power dis tricts, looking towards closer har mony and cooperation with Wash ington in connection with the de velopment of the Columbia river. Rev. Fr.

FEES NEED OF L Salt Lafce City W1) Necessity of lower grazing fees and shearing charges if the wool industry la to survive the prownt time of depres sion was emphasized by H. W. Har vey of Heber, president of the Utah State Wool growers' association, at the opening session here Tuesday of lLs 24th annual convention. Efforts so far to secure a reduc tion in the grazing fees of national forests have bcii fruitless, he said. Harvey condemned the proposal to turn over to the states surface rights to unappropriated public lands within their borders. Inasmuch as the sheep industry is Inters late, we do not think that it would be wise to cull out of the present public domain, lands for national parks, for game preserves, for Indian reservations and for any and all purposes that might meet the whims of those selected for land segregation, and then pass the waste deserts over to the various states to be adminbtered by them with state politics entering into the question and it!i the state trying to do the impossible in collecting fees for grazing." he said. "It would also be detrimental to have states trying to bar from their borders. livestock of men who reside In other states." Speakers on the afternoon pro gram Tuesday Included Frank J.
