EGG HOLDINGS
EXCEED REC0S9
BUTTER EASI!
Portland (Itt Holdings of efrcs In
jlore throughout the United States
re close to a half million cases,
compared with somewhat less than
100.000 cases a year afro. .The big
holding of ezus at leading points
reflects the severe depression Into
which the trade was thrust as a re
sult of economic conditions as well
as unusually mild weather during
the wintry season.
Trade In the butter market Is
easier with some recessions In the
price at California points. Locally
the undertone has been steady with
no change in either cube or print
values.
Up In central Orenon there Is a
renewal of the butterfat war with
centralizers reported as paying ex
treme values and In some Instances
premiums over the Portland price.
Chicken price here continue much
out of line. While killers are off
ering down to 11 cents pound here
for light weights, the same Inter
ests are paying around 18 to 19
cents pound at California points.
The spread, which is unusually
heavy, Is the greatest known be
tween the two markets.
Further cutting of potato prices
u confirmed here, sales are down
a dime. Sales of Deschutes are
now generally no higher than $1.50
here for Is to retailers.
Limited supplies of hothouse to
matoes are still arriving here. Prac
tlrallv the only offerings are from
Forest Grove. Sales are reported
$2.50 for Btandard. $215 for fancy
ind $3 for extra fancy 10s.
Increased sales of Florida seed
less grapefruit are reported by the
local trade. The Quality has been
unusually favorable. Oranire sales
are reported as extremely liberal.
Very liberal gain In the catch of
spring Columbia river Chinook
salmon has overloaded the local
market with fish at too high i
nrice. The result is a further low
erlng of the quotation. Sturgeon
ttffnln down.
Owing to the poorer quality of
local stock, California root vegeta
bles are finding more favor.
Walla Walla spinach Is being
offered around $1.10 for 20S.
Parsley from the south Is more
In evidence.
Country killed meats are without
price or condition change.
California radishes are being
offered around 45-50 cents dozen
bunches.
INCREASED NURSERY
FEES ARE OPPOSED
Small growers of nursery stocks,
bulbs and plants In this vicinity
r. nnnnslner a move to Increase the
state nursery license fee on such
growers In a bill now pending be
fore the legislature. Under the
present law nursery licenses for
commercial growers who
than an acre of stock are $3 a year
and for larger growers $15 a year.
The amendment proposed would not
change the fee of the larger growers
but would Increase that of the small
er growers from $3 to $5 a year.
Mrs. W. J. Culver, one of the
smallest growers of bulbs. Iris roots
and similar stocks, is taking an ac
tive hand In the fight and declares
that the proposed Increase Is meet
ing with opposition from many of
the smaller growers who gain a
small Income from their plants but
not one to Justify any Increase. 'At
least the Increase should be Im
posed all the way around If It Is
forced on us," said Mrs. uuiver.

SPY DUBBED AS FLEA
BY LINCOLN IS ALIVE

my man. Ho got tliese plans and
Immediately wasn't there."
Hie confrdrrate general early
started his four day attack on the
city of Washington, Edgerly said
he escorted Lincoln In an examin
ation ot defenses. Lincoln was
curious, he said. He stood boldly
on the fortifications looking out to
ward the confederate lines. Can
non shot fell near him.
"Clet down from there Mr. Lin
coln." Edgerly said he advised. "They
have our range. Get down and let
me watch."
'Lincoln said something about
my life being as sweet to me a his
to him, but right then a mlnnlc
ball lilt between his feet.
Clet down. Mr. Lincoln." Blgerly
said he yelled and reached up tn
help the president.
"All right,' Lincoln Is Quoted as
answering, "I will."
Discovery of the part that Edger-
ly played in Lincoln's career and
the finding of documentary evidence
that Lincoln once served on the
circuit court bench In Springfield
as an acting judge, were the only
new stories ot Lincoln's life that
have been brought to light during
tlie past year, local historians say.
Since Lincoln s death 65 years ago
some 2,000.000 persons have Journ
eyed to Springfield, where he Is
burled, to pay tribute to.hls mem

FOR FATTENING HOGS
A record for fattening hogs lias
been set by O. B. Bowman, who
runs a dairy farm several miles up
tlie riverside drive and who always
has about 100 head of hogs to use
the by-product.
seven of the 10 pigs In two Ut
ters farrowed less than four and
one-half months ago weighed a to
tal of 1400 pounds. The other three
weighed a total of 00 pounds.
A pound a day Is considered a sat
isfactory tain for pig?, but these
tabled a pound and a half a day.
WHEAT VALUES
BREAK SHARPLY
CLOSING LOWER
Chicago LP) Reversing Its trend
of Tuesday, wheat broke sharply
on the board of trade Wednesday
and cloaed slower. Trade was very
broad and the market swung er
ratically back and forth. A break
at Winnipeg, weakness in the com
pit, denial of Russian rumors and
profit taking sales caused general
selling which found the market in
a weakened technical position. A
strong stock market served to check
the decline. Corn tumbled under
general selling1 which the market
was not in a position to absorb. A
material Increase in country offer
ings was a factor. Oats eased with
the other grains.
At the close old wheat was un
changed to cents lower, new
wheat was l1 to 2i cents lower,
corn was to 1 cents lower and
oats were to cent lower. In
provisions meats were strong but
lard was off between 20 and 30
points.
PORTLAND PORT

Two measures, either of which

tion of a $55,000 cannery here was
assured by announcement from
Washington, D. C, that the fed
eral farm board had approved a

canneries for construction of the

be far-reaching, as it Is understood
the farm board will not approve
a similar loan to any other co-op-
eraiive in tne pacitic northwest

COLLEGE SURVEY
NEARS COMPLETION
Willamette university authorities
will, within a short time. Jeam
how the local school ranks with
other Methodist institutions of the
United States. This Information will
be obtained as the result of a two
year survey being conducted by the
national education board of the
United States. A representative of
this board was here a few days ago
and in a two-hour conference out
lined the data his organization de
sired. The survey, which will be con
cluded within a short time, Willam
ette university being near the end
of the list, is comprehensive in Its
scope. Registrar Tcnnant stated
Wednesday, Every phase of the edu
cational policy of the school, the
student personnel, the source of fi
nances and the amount of expen
ditures, and in fact, everything con
nected with the school including
the physical plant will be furnished
by the business registrar employes
So great Is the mass of information
being gathered that It is estimated
that If but one person worked on
the project at Willamette it would
take 30 days to complete the work.

ening was attributed to restricted
feeding due to lower prices for farm
produce and to open weather of
fering good winter range conditions.

STOCK MARKET
CLOSING HIGHER
New York (LP) Despite scattered
profit taking throughout the ses
sion Wednesday, stocks on the stock
exchange maintained a strong tone.
Near the close the entire list ral
lied from lows and closed higher.
According to preliminary calcula
tion the Dow Jones and Co., Indus
trial average advanced .71 point to
181.97 and the railroad average de
clined .59 point to 110.48.

700.000 shares, compared with 4,
800,000 shares Tuesday.
The main body of stocks made
gains ranging to two points while
advances in special Issues were as
much as 7 points. Trading started
off about half ol Tuesday but by
1:20 D. m. the pace of Tuesday had
been exceeded. A slowing down
near the close left volume about the
same as Tuesday.
Sustaining strength was given by
word from Washington that the
house ways and means committee
had rejected a bill for full pay
ment of a veterans' bonus. At al
most the same time, however, Og
den L. Mills, undersecretary of the
treasury, told members of the New
York Bond club here:
You have heard a lot In the past
few weeks on the (bonas) question
and you are going to hear a lot
more in the next 48 hours, and I
am sorry to say It may not be as
favorable as you may have been
led to suppose by newspaper re
ports." The Mills speech had a bad ef
fect on grains which sold off late
in the day after a rallying period.
Wheat was unchanged to off 2'4
cents a bushel at the close, while
corn lost 1 to 2 cents a bushel.
Cotton made new highs for the
year and then eased off from the
best levels.
V. 8. Government Loans, how
ever, held well and the general
bond market was Irregularly higher
with second grade railroad issues
and foreign government loans mak
ing gains.
Coppers had help from a rise of
4 cent in the price for the metal
and more favorable statistics which
showed substantial reduction in
stocks during January. Chile spurt
ed 6 points and other issues of the
grouD were un 1 to nearly J poinis.
Utilities, which had been under
some pressure recently, came to the
forefront and for a time this group
was an outstanding feature. Part
of the gains were erased, but the
group was up fractions to 3 points
in the last few minutes. Communi
cation Issues, notably International
Telephone and American Telephone,
were In good demand.
U. S. Steel made a new high for
the year at 148 and other Indus
trial leaders followed It. Westing
house Electric came near the 100
mark;. Bethlehem Steel crossed 60;
National Biscuit was above 82 and
a long list of others made wide
gains.
But special issues were tne feat
ures. Columbian Carbon soared 1
points; J. I. Case was up 9 at one
time. Montgomery Ward featured
the mall order group.
BULL MARKET IN
STOCKS CONTINUES
iContlnued from page 1)
as reported for the last week of
January showed a small gain com'
mensurate with the normal sea
sonal trend. Although the grain
markets reacted with the discredit
ing of rumors of a revolution in
Russia, prices for copper, silver and
cotton made further gams.
Vigorous bidding up of some of
the volatile specialty Issues in
which a limited amount of stock Is
available for trading continued to
enliven the proceedings, but lead
ership was vested In the pivotal
industrial and utility shares, which
pressed on to new high levels for
the moment. Advances of $2 to
about $10 a share were numerous.
Tlie bond market was largely neg
lected in the enthusiasm for stocks
Tlie strength of the coppers
cheeked the decline In the early
trading, and was In response to an
increase from 9 to 10 cents a
pound In the red metal price.
American Smelting, oranby, Phelps
Dodge and St. Joseph lead gained
about $3, and Anaconda and Ken

EGG BATTLE
CALLED OFF BY
TURLOCK MAYOR
Turlock, Cal. flP) Turlock Is egg
poor Not egg rich!
This was the message the mayor
and leaders of the chamber of com
merce, the Rotary and Exchange
clubs were earnestly trying to tell
the world Wednesday.
The protests of poverty were made
to halt continued demands that
Turlook supply free eggs for unem
ployed throughout the country. The
demands were made after printed
reports said that Turlock planned
an egg fight to dispose of its surplus
of that product.
"I don't know how the story got
so big so quickly,'' A. A. Caldwell,
president of the chamber of com
merce said Wednesday. "It started
when a Rotary and Exchange man
were talking about the poultry sit
uation and the low price of eggs.
"One suggested an egg fight be
tween the clubs Just to show the
world the poor position that poul
trymen occupied. The other agreed
that It would be a good idea.
"They told newspapermen of their
proposed egg fight before they con
sulted club officials. The next thing
we knew we were getting scores of
telegrams from all over the country
All the messages demanded that ,we
give the eggs to the unemployed of
one city or another.
"It's true that we have a small
surplus of eggs, but eggs are so low
priced that we can't afford to give
very many away. We need the few
pennies the eggs bring.
"The big egg battle Is off, If It
ever was 'on,' and If any eggs are
going to be given away they'll be
given to the hungry, unemployed of
Turlock."
DEBATE CURB ON
EMERGENCY BOARD
(Continued from page 1)
law creating the emergency board
and its function. He read from min
utes of its meetings and scored the
ways and means committee for cut
lng requested appropriations to the
extent that it is necessary for the
emergency board later to replenish
them by deficiency warrants.
Senator W. E. Burke, chairman of
the senate ways and means com
mittee, defended the bills, but said
they didn't go far enough. He said
that, as chairman of the ways and
means committee, he would be a
member of the next emergency
board and would use his influence
to limit the activities of the board.
"Senator Burke, among other
members of the ways and means
committee, has to be educated, for
his education is deficient now." de
clared Senator I. E. Staples.-oppos
ing the bills. He said Burke had not
yet been graduated from the ele
mentary department of the ways
and means committee. He defended
the acts of the emergency board,
and scored Burke for his criticism
of the state flax industry, declaring
that Burke was in error in stating
that the Industry had lost about
$900,000.
Defending the bills, Senator Wil
liam P. Woodward centered his at
tack on the emergency board for
authorizing a deflcency of $245,000
for the flax industry. He criticised
the administration of Col. W. B.
Bartram as superintendent of the
industry and read from the flax
audit of Oeorge M. Black, made at
the request of Govemer Meier.
"Tlie management of this indus
try is open to the severest con
demnation," he declared, "and I
predict that it will be placed where
It belongs before this legislature ad
journs." Woodward asserted that
If the emergency board were to
continue tne powers with which it
is now clothed "this legislature
may as well resign and go home, for
no sooner will we adjourn than the
emergency board may pile millions
on top of what we have done."
Senator Miller flayed certain
members of the ways and means
committee as practicing "duplicity,
parsimony and false economy'' in
trying to reduce appropriations be
low actual needs merely "to make
a recora.
"I rise in condemnation," he said,
"of this unholy alliance now known
as tlie ways and means committee.
They arrogate to themselves privi
leges not belonging to them. They
even go into our tax department
and try to rule there."
Replying to criticism that had
been leveled at him. Senator Burke
said that the "sting felt by insti
tutions caring for prisoners and
other state wards because of lack
of money for their needs is as
nothing compared with the sting
upon the taxpayers who have to
pay lor them." Burke defended
tlie flax Industry, but asserted that
"It is not under efficient manage
ment, and without a change ot
management it will go out of exist
ence." Replying to criticism of the ways
and means committee, Senator
Strayer scored the emergency board
for allowing deficiency appropria
tions to cover salary increases made
by the departments themselves. He
urged a limit on the powers of the
emergency board and a calling of
the legislature into special session
In event of emergency. He declared
this would be more economical.
Senator Gus C. Moser approved
the remarks of Senator Strayer,
and declared the passage ot both
bills would have a "wonderful ef
fect"' for economy.
The senate killed by Indefinite
postponement a bill Introduced by
Representative I. U. Temple and
Senator J. O. Bailey, which provid
ed that the cost ot prosecution of
motor vehicle thieves be paid from
the county's share of motor vehicle
license fees.
Senator James W. Crawford
withdrew a bill Introduced by him
self, Senator W. F. Woodward and
Representative Homer D. Angell.
providing for a state Judicial coun
cil of 15 members. The reason
given was that It proposed an
amendment to an existing law
which has aince been repealed.
Rrorganltatlon of the state emer-
fncjr board to eliminate from its
membership the governor, secretary
of state and state treasurer and sub
stitute two members of the house
of representatives and one senator
was being drafted Wednesday and
Senator Chas. Hall planned to drop
it into the hopper of the senate
during the afternoon.
"The bill is designed to carry out
accurately the -theory of our gov
ernment which requires appropna-
lons to originate In and be approved
by the legislature," said Senator
Hall. "There is iio Justification for
a system wncn peaces in tne hands
of the executive and administrative
officials the power to make appro
priations to be expended by tntir
own departments or those over
which they alone excrcii control."
Under the Hall plan the emer
gency board would consist of two
members of the house appointed by
the speaker and approved by a con
stitutional majority of the house,
and one senator named by the pres
ident of tlie senate and approved
by a constitutional majority of the
senate members.
