SEATTLE EGGS
UNDERSELL ALL
OTHERS. REPORT
Portland (LP The loaest price In
the United States of all the leading
cities Is now beintf quoted lor efrts
by Seattle Interests, acrordinR to
word froni there. A market set at
18c for U. 8. extras, whirh are a
more closely candled (trade than the
local extras, established a new low
record lor the wmtry period along
the Pacific slope.
It has been the demoralized trend
of the Puget Bound Interest that
has played more or leas havoc with
the Portland price situation for
some time. The under-sellliiff of es
tablished prices has long been a
bearish argument against the Port
land market values.
El forts are being made rj killers
to stock up with liTe chickens, but
at a lower price range. Offers are
as low as 11c for light hens. There
has been a fair Increase In the re
cent supply as a result of extreme
low eg prices.
Up to 33c pound Is being offered
by a local killer for No. 1 dressed
torn turkeys, Portland delivery, al
though general bids are around 30
lc. Some are paying the same price
for hens as well as for tonus.
Very liberal demand Is continued
for country killed lambs at full re
cent prices. Hoes and veal arc stea
dy to weaker. Beef Is about steady
with bulls scarce.
With a further increase In the
supply, sales of Columbia river smelt
are being made down to 4c lb , by
jocal wholesalers. There is an acute j
shortage of crnbs as well as crab
meat. Frozen halibut Is slow sale
with Inferior quality.
Indicating spring, or at least an
approach to It, Is the Initial oifer
ln& of onion sets on the market.
The first supply Is selling 7-8c lb.
Very slugql-sli trading tone is re
flected In the potato trade, both
at the source and at Jobbing points.
The Increased supply forecast by
the late government report is a fac
tor. Montana endive Is finding much
favor In the local trade. Shipments
were sold quickly at 60c pound.
Hothouse tomatoes are In most
nominal supply. Hothouse mush
rooms are moving well up to 65c lb.
There Is a very firm price on ar
tichokes Cranberries are moving
very slowly at ilfl-20 barrel.
All citrus fruit prices are un
changed; higher priced email stuff
to arrive la fit of week.
Hothouse rhubarb Is steady with
Increased supplies.
Sweet potatoes are Just steady,
stock not keeping well.
California cauliflower Is lower
with Indifferent quality. Locals'
much the best and highest.
Bread dates are finding a fair sale
around 18-20c pound.

DRY REPORT
TO HELP HOPS
As ft nhole the Wiclcersham re
port looks pretty favorable to the
hop industry and I believe will
have a tendency to stiffen the mar
ket somewhat," was the comment of
ex-Mnyor T. A. Llvesley a:id promi
nent local hop man who, wlui o:h
er hop men, has been awaiting
anxiously the report to see its tenor
ati to its effect on general condj
tlons In the industry.
"An analysis of the report, I be
lieve will Indicate that the com
mittee as a whole believes that
condition would be materially Im
proved by modification. Even those.
as I understand It, who are opposed
to immediate modification, believe
that after a certain period If condi
tions do not Improve with further
trial that modification will be the
only method of bringing about an
improvement. That is tantamount
to an admission that conditions
now are bad enough to warrant
modification, providing the mem
bers did not feel there was a dossI-
bllity of Improvement In a reason
able length of time. Those who
have watched the situation are ex
tremely doubtful of Improvement
but rather Incline to the feeiing
that as time goes on conditions will
get worse Instead of Improve unless
a radical change Is made.

Sheriffs, Police Chiefs
And Prosecutors Believe
Dry Law Unenforceable
Stattlo (UP) Shei-iffr, police chiefs and prosecuting
aitorneyj in four states of the Pacific northwest believe the
tfrv law in unenforceable, and that the public sentiment is
strongly
agaimt prohibition. This
mas neakd here wtaneuay wnen
the Norihtte&t Police Journal
leased results of a poll conducted In
towns and cities of wasnington,
Oregon, Idaho and Montana. The
vote resulted In an opposite Tlew- i
point from the wicker.-diam com
mission's report which criticized
county and city officers for the
failure or tne dry law w iuncuon
In many localities
Approximately 9 out of every 10
sheriffs, police chiefs and prosecut
ors In the four states expressed re
sentment at the commission's criti
cism, declared that the law cannot
be enforced, and said that public
ntlmrnt in the northwest is against
prohibition.
Questlonaires were mailed to ev
ery prosecutor, police chief and
sheriff in the four slates. Approxi
mately 80 per cent have replied and
returns continued to be received.
Less than 10 per cent of the offi
cials said they believed the dry law
could be enforced In their com
munities, and the majority express
ed themselves In fuvor ol repeal of
the 18th amendment, declaring that
there was no ground for modifica
tion and that government control
similar to that employed In British
Columbia would be the best solution.
A surprising result of the poll was
the statement from officials In ru
ral districts, where prohibition is
supposed to be strongest, that the
communities are "dripping wet" and
that public sentiment demands a
"hands-off ' attitude from otficcrs
wherj liquor Is concerned.
Sixty-live per cent of tlie officials
declared that prohibition had done
more to increase crime and Juvenile
dt UnquMicy than any other factor.
Montana, the only "wet" state In
the group, proved to be no wetter
than Idaho and Washington,
cording to the comparative opinions
of the ofliclals upon whom the bur
den of prohibition enforcement
rests.

INDICTMENT GF
BOWLES STANDS
Portland (IP) Another barrier to
the trial of Nelson C. Bowles and
Irma G. Loucks has been removed
by the denial by Circuit Judge Elk
wall of defense motions to quash
the Indictment charging them with
the first degree murder of Mrs. Le
one C. Bowles.
The defense, through John A.
Collier of the legal staff, announced
definitely that no demurrer to the
Indictment will be filed and that
his clients very likely will enter
pleas of not guilty when they ap
pear In court ttiday at 3 p.m.
Judge Elk walls sustaining of tnc
murder Indictment came Tuesday
afternoon following arguments on
the motion that lasted nearly three
days.
The court ruled on all five causes
offered by the defense why the in
dictment should be set aside. Judne
EUcwall saii on the first ground,
that he believed It quite conclusive
that Vincent Thorns did not appear
before the grand Jury before Jan
uary 2, as charged by the defense;
that the second and third grounds
could be disposed of since the state
was wining to delete the notation
"at their own request" on the in
dictment In connection with the ap
pearance of Dr. Paul B. Cooper, W.
H. Cullers and R. D. Shelley before
the grand Jury, and that there was
no evidence sustaining the fourth
point that persons other than those
legally entitled to be there were be
fore the Jury.
On the fifth point, the court said
if any unsworn statements were
read before the grand jury that the
law indicated i t would not be pro
per to indorse on the Indictment,
the names of persons responsible for
the statements, as those persons
were not witnesses."
Attorneys for Bowles and the
girl announced Wednesday no de
murrer will be filed to the murder
Indictment. A delay of three weeks
was gained by filing of motions to
quash the Indictments, overruled
late Tuesday by Circuit Judge Ek-
wall.
Bowles and Miss Loucks will en
ter pleas at 2 p. m. Friday. John
Collier of the defense said Wed
nesday he expects them to plead
not guilty.
The time for filing for a change
of venue would logically follow
the entering of picas, but the de
fense has not discussed this point.

Selling operations were prevented

back to the governor's office to be
redrawn in an endeavor to have it

tlie afternoon session.
When the governor's bills for
creating a power commission and
otherwise enacting his power poli

hopper Representative Lawrence
was unable to say.
There was every expectation all
through Tuesday and well into the
evening that the grange power dis
trict bill, upon which a dozen or
more attorneys and legislators have
been concentrating their attention
for the past month, would be ready
Wednesday morning.
Its failure to put In an appear
ance led to the dLscovery that it
is still not In shape satisfactory to
ail of the factions Interested In
and seeking to sponsor It, and a crew
of constitutional lawyers, supple
mented by one or two members was
busy redrafting the measure for the
'stoenth time Wednesday. They
professed a hope that they might
have It In accepUble shape by
Thursday morning.
The latest defects in the bill were
uncovered at a conference In the
executive offices Tuesday evening
attended by the governor, members
of the grange legislative committee,
"consulting" attorneys and mem
bers of the house and senate who
have ambitions to be godfathers
to the measure.
Meagre reports of the session
drifting out from the sanctum In
dicate It was a stormy session In
which the legal experts clashed, and
Jealousies noised their way up
through the tranquil surface of
harmony thinly veiled.
Senator Joe Bailey's critical an
alysis of the technical form and
legal content, and his flat declar
ation that It was clearly unconsti
tutional in some respects is alleged
ly responsible for the decision to
redraft it.
Bailey Is understood to have is
sued the ultimatum that while he
is wholly in sympathy with the
general terms and aims or the bill
he docs not intend to slnnd idly
by and see it mutilated and thrown
into extended controversy In the
courts and finally cast aside by
its own irresularilics.
Too many "constitutional law
yers" seems to be chielly respons
ible for the stormy seas the grange
bill Is encountering.
Incidentally, this same bill Is also
causing no little rift in the harmony
which hovered over the public own
ership ramp during the operluir
days of the session. The group now
.hows indications of being much di
vided, with some of the champions

ment that one of the four district
Judws in Multnomah county sit ns

on Woodwards bill, which would

Senators Moscr and Crawford said
that Woodward was in error, and
that if the committing magistrate
happened to be away, one of tlie
other three takes care of criminal

the bill, and Senator Bennett de
