GOLD STORAGE
INTERESTS TRY
TO FORCE EGGS
Portland (IP) There was no
Change In the (central selling price
of eggs in Portland for the day, de
spite the attempt of interested cold
storage speculative parties to force
higher values for fretsh stock, of
which they handle but a nominal
supply.
While there was no general price
change on the open market for ei
ther cube or print butter during the
day, strength Is reflected in all of
ferings with quotations maintained.
Matntainance of live chicken pric
es Is generally reported by the com
mission trade as well as by killers
In spite of the government news
marketing1 service suggesting a slow
market The only slowness appears
in springer stuff. Other lines are
steady to firm at late advances.
Market for dressed turkeys is a
trifle soft for the sort of stock gen
erally arriving. Hens are quoted
down to 28c generally with small
young toms around 27 -28c and larger
birds, 14 lbs. and up, at a maximum
of 32e.
In the market for country killed
meats a steady trade was generally
reflected for veal, hogs and lambs,
with beef alone Inclined to show
more or less dullness. No change in
amy of the price lists.
In an effort to bring better le-
tums to Oregon producers, some of
the leading distributors are featur
ing Deschutes potatoes at a price
that Is expected to sell them rather
than the Yakima stock, which has
continued more or less a leader.
Lack of suitable Inspection keeps
down sales or home grown.
Purchase of additional supplies of
Oreuon vegetables to go east to At
lantic & Pacific Stores Is reported
here. Five cars are reported out dur
ing the last few days. At least two
Of these were carrots alone.
Sales of onions in carload lots are
again restricted as a result of un
willingness of growers generally to
sell below $2. Offers generally are
not above $1.50 and there is limited
business said to be available at that.
However, one firm was reported of
fering $1.55 but this was understood
to be for large size.
Local sprouts arc plentiful and
cheaper. Demand for hothouse to
matoes is fair. Artichokes are quoted
$1-$1.25 dosen with a slow call.
Halibut is scarcer and again high
er, up to 17c for mediums.
Lack of snap continues In demand
for apples, both domestic and for
eign. Cauliflower market Is slow with
carlot sales up to 70-75c. Tomatoes
are slow for outdoor stock. Prices
weak.
LARGE NUT CROP
ABOUT SHERIDAN
Sheridan The walnut crop is be
ing harvested in this community and
will undoubtedly go on record as the
largest crop ever raised In this sec
tion And the grade and quality will
be uniformly high.
Ideal went her conditions have
made the work progress rapidly, but
It will require several weeks yet for
the harvest to be finished.
It has been estimated that more
than three hundred tons will be the
crop from this Immediate commun
ity. One of the largest growers, H.
B. Rigns or Gopher Valley, places
his crop at between 75 to 100 tons,
over 30 tons having already been
harvested. Higgs Is employing 30
pickers and will not have the entire
crop brought in for about three
weeks.

PORTLAND'S MILK
WAR AGAIN ENDED
Portland 1LP Portland's whole
sale milk-price war was ended Fri
day, with the announcement by

agreed to refile uniform price sched

OREGON CATTLE
IN GOOD CONDITION
In Oregon cattle are in fair to
good condition with some thin ones
Inj dry areas. In the western states,
cattle are generally In fair to good
condition, except In a few drought
areas. Shipments have been heavy
from dry sections, with a decided
tendency to hold cattle where feed
and finances permit. Stork cows and
heifers are being held with an at
tempt to hold up breeding herds and
sell steers and calves. There has been
little country trading In the south
west and shipments have been light.
says a bulletin by the federal crop
reporting service In Portland.
The condition of Oregon sheep is
considerably below the average for
this month. Western fall feed for
sheep is poor to fair except In the
southwest, but sheep are generally
In fair to good flesh except in dry
sections. In the northern sections.
there Is a larger than usual propor
tion of feeder lambs. Poor fall feed
has forced early shipments of lambs.
The large supply of old ewes has
not found an outlet or market.
Sheep and lambs have done well in
Texas, Arizona and New Mexico,
where there is an abundance of feed.
Winter sheep ranges In Utah, Ne
vada. Idaho, Montana. South Dako
ta. Colorado and northeastern Wy
oming are poor with little stock wa
ter. Western sheepmen are facing
a serious financial problem In se
curing feed to supplement short
ranges. Short hay and grain crops
and finances will restrict lamb feed
ing in most of the western states
except in Texas.

NO STATE FUNDS
AVAILABLE FOR
MATCH MONEY
The action of the federal govern
ment In advancing the apportion
ment of funds available for high
way work to October 15 will not
help the situation in Oregon. There
are no state funds available at this
time to match the federal money
according to State Highway Engi
neer Roy A. Klein.
Ordinarily contracts for highway
work Involving use of federal funds
can not be entered Into until after
January 1. This year In an effort
to help out the unemployment sit
uation the government has ad
vanced allotment of funds to the
state. The funds are available ,
only on a match basis, the state j
putting up 38 cents for every 62 j
cent advanced by the federal gov
ernment. Heavy expenditures by the state
during the past year In an effort
to relieve unemployment have com
pletely exhausted the highway fund
available for new construction,
Klein explained. The $1,000,000 to
be spent on highways this winter
in the unemplyoment relief pro
gram will be exended largely on
hand work under supervision of the
state highway department and is
not subject to federal aid which re- I
quires that the funds be expended j
under specific contracts.
Oregon s share of the federal al-I
lotment amounts to $2,000,000 out
of which will be deducted one-filth
of the $1,300,000 advanced this
state during the past year under
the emergency federal aid appro
priation, or $264,057.
No federal funds can be used on
the improvement of the newly des
ignated Wilson river route because
it Is not a federal aid highway,
Klein explained.

MEIER PLEADS FOR
SCHOOL ECONOMY
f Continued from page 1)
were advocated by State Superin
tendent of Public Instruction How
ard as paramount considerations
today In advancing both economy
and efficiency.
He recommended that uniform
educational standards, be adopted
by the conference yet advised that
acceptance of such standards be
voluntary and up to the individual
principals who have a deeper per
sonal contact with the needs of
their communities.
Money savings may be realized by
establishment of community text
book exchanges, by elimination of
small units, both buildings and
classes, and absorption of rural
schools In urban units wherever
possible, Howard believed.
He declared larger school enroll
meiita a partial aid in solving the
unemployment situation, advocat
ing that students continue their
studies to prepare for better future
positions and leave work open to
more mature workmen. School was
advocated as a means of keeping
the unemployed occupied and
therefore a deterrent for crime.
A. F. Blttner, principal of Grant
high school at Portland and presi
dent of the Oregon High School
Principals' association, gave his
report on the association's accom
plishments during the past year,
outlined previous work of the as
sociation and remarked that the
body had been Influential in ob
taining certain uniform factors
adopted In high schools through
out the state, such as the uniform
transfer blank, registration system
and grading system.
A technical report of the com
mittee on the hour class period
was made bv the chairman. B. 8.
Wakefield of Milwaukee, and was
adopted at the afternoon session
Friday. The hour class period wv
recommended by the committee a
practicable for schools of almost
any size, as dointr away with the
evils of short re; i tat ion period and
as benefitting the students with
supervised study, lessening amount
of home work, fewer failures and
tends to develop technique of In
struction adapted to the Individu
al. Technical reports of committees
on character education, specific
problems of the senior high school,
and contests In the high school were
scheduled for the afternoon session.
James M. Gurgess of the state de
partment of education was slated to
speak on the work of the state de
partment in connection with the
hich schools.
The conference dinner will be held
at 6 o'clock in the Marion hotel,
with R. E McCormack of Pendleton
as the toastmaster. An Impromptu
program was to be held. Principals
were planning to attend the Willam
ette-Columbia football game after
the dinner.
The conference will continue Sat

mistic tone In the weekly trade re
views; anticipation of a favorable
response from the I. C. C. on the
railroad petition for a higher

DROP ON COAST
San Francisco 'A1) Despite an in
crease In Washmton and Oregon
receipts of es at primary Paclflo
oast markets lor the week ended
October 10 were 62,621 cases, com
pared with 64,741 the previous week,
the Federal -State Market News
said Friday. The decline was 3.27
per cent.
Curtailment of egg receipt to
balance the modified demand com
pared with last year was shown
by the figures. Receipts for the
corresponding week of 1930 were
73.209 cases. The decrease for this
year, for the first full week in Oc
tober, was 14.46 per cent.
Receipts at California marketa
were somewhat less than the com
bined receipts of Washington and
Oregon primary markets. Califor
nia receipts were 30,927 cases, com
pared with 33.427 in the previous
week and 35,422 In the like -1930

37,787 cases.
Prices showed a slightly stronger
uptrend than had been expected,
average price gains for the last
week being about 2 cents a dozen
in important coast markets.
LITTLE INTEREST
IN PRUNE POOL
Not much Interest In the Douglas .
prune pool which Is to be opened
at Roseburg Friday night has been
evinced among local packers al
though some field men are reported
to have been scouting around down
there the past few days. Informa
tion they gathered was to the ef
fect that the Douglas pool Is ex
pecting to ask prices In certain
sizes in excess of what the packers
could sell them for If they took in
the pool and as a result any dab
bling In that pool now they stats
would be on a speculative basis with
a good chance of losing their shirts.
It is probable, however, that ths
big buyers such as California Pack
ing corporation and Rosenburg will
have some men on hand to see
what happens anyway If It goes no
further.
That growers themselves were not
altogether confident that Uie pool
would go over In a big way baa
been evidenced by letters which
have been received by local buyers
from growers In the pool offering
to sell their prunes at a reduction
from the expected pool price. As
far as known none have been
bought although some lots h
been picked up in the TJmpqua hers
and there by local packers In the
past few days.
