PRODUCTION OF
BUTTER LOWER;
DEMAND BETTER
Portland, Jan. 21 HP) Lowest
price ever named for eggs In the
local market during the current
month are now being quoted here
as a result ol complete demorali
sation of the eastern trade. At the
reductions, the local market Is still
on a higher basis than the eastern
market, cost of getting supplies to
the Atlantic considered. The cut
ting of 2 cents off the price of
extras to 16 cents with standard
15 cents and medium 14 cents Is
confirmed by Manager Dixon of the
local co-ops, effective Friday morn
ing. New York dropped to 23 cents
for extras and 19 cents for mediums,
which means 14 cents here for ex
tras and 10 cent for mediums.
Some of the cash buyers have re
duced their buying price to 8-10
cents dozen country.
Portland, Ore., Jan. 21, LP De
creasing make of butter continues,
to be reflected in the local trade.
Much similar situation Is shown at
practically all Pacific slope points.
Some late decreases in eastern
churning is Indicated.
Demand for butter continues to
gain and Is now reported at fully
a third more that It was previous
to the late cut in the price. Two
bit butter In some of the leading
retail shops appears ft very popular
move and has forced a consider
able surplus Into consuming chan-J
nels.
In general only weakness Is re
flected In the market for eggs. No
change In the price was announ
ced by the Pacific co-ops. But some
deals In mediums are reported at
reductions. These are weakest.
Very small supplies of Uve
chickens are reaching the local
trade but practically none appear
wanted at the moment. Prices con
tinue weak all around with killers
determined to clean up their bat
teries before buying more.
There Is ft good local demand for
turkeys but little change Is shown
In prices. Buyers are generally of
fering )-20c lb. for fancy birds.
Home demand for Immediate con
sumption is good at the low price.
Columbia river smelt schools are
badly scattered. Tne high water
and drift wood are blamed. The-
fish are said to be swimming most
ly In the brush along the shore.
Priced nominally at nickle a pound.
Run of steelhead salmon appears
about over In the Columbia and
the coast streams are closed. Fresh
Alaska Kings are arriving and sell
ing 25c lb. with head on. Crabs are
scarce with orders unfilled.
Limited sales of onions are re
ported at Willamette valley points.
Business In carload lots continues
(3.50 sack net to growers. Most
growers are still unwilling to ac
cept price tenders.
On account of superior quality,
the movement of local hothouse
rhubarb Is better than the summer
stock on the Portland market.
Price cutting has practically elim
inated profit of handlers
Large sized oranges arc again
lower.
Lettuce market Is down another
quarter, and weaker.
Tomatoes are very slow for Mexi
cans on account of the price. Hot
house stock la slow but apparently
steady.
Stow demand for hothouse cu
cumbers. Prices nominal.
Artichokes are steadv to a trifle
faster at a spread of 90c to $1-20
according to size.
Veal market appears a trifle
easier In spots but general prices
are unchanged. Hogs steady and
lambs firm.
Cheese remains weak with ln-
termountaln stock underselling the
coast offerings.

RURAL TELEPHONES
ASK SLASHED RATES
(Continued from page 1)
celved below the operating costs,"
Superintendent Collins told repre
sentatives of the rural lines. ' "I
can't see how the rates can be re
duced. I presume because you think
there has been a reduction In com
modities there should be In tele
phone rates but there Is no part of
commodities identified with the
costs of telephone operations. We
naven t reduced salaries and feel
salaries should be going up Instead
of going down. As the efficiency
01 our employes increases we feel
their salaries should Increase and
in the telephone business we can
have nothing but trained employes.
"When compared to companies
other than our own where rural
subscribers pay $10 to $12 a year
and are served by only 200 or 300
phones your rate is very low." Col
lins stated, with the discount, the
yearly rate is $8.10 and that the
farmer subscriber has access to
7,000 phones.
"We are not yet feeling reduc
tion In operating costs because of
Installation of dial phones," he
said, "and we have 60 girls em
ployed." Representatives of the lines, a
number of whom spoke, declared
that the farmers are all broke, in
timated that they can't pay the
central charges of $9 a year, and
unless there was some relief the
company would have to lose many
of Its central line connections and
the rural lines would go back to
rural sen' ice only. They declared
they believed the $6 rate would
give a great many more phones and
the company would realize as much
or more money. They stated th it
for all long distance calls originat
ing on rural lines the company re.
eclved all the money and the rural
lines none. They snid present rates
were war time rales and should
come down.
Collins in reply suggested that
the rural companys should file tar
iffs for other line charges to meet
the long distance complaint. He
denied that rates were war time
rates but were made after the war
after a scientific study. He also
stated the company had a big prob
lem in subscribers who discontinued
paying for city line service but still
used It for outgoing calls, even If
thev wree cut off from incoming
calls. He urged an organization of
presidents and secretaries of the
various rural lines to cooperate with
the local manager on the various
problems and said some steps must
be taken for cutting out the rural
phone user who quits paying for
city service but still uses It. He
paid this even happened often with
long distance calls which could not
be identified later and the company
lost that much.
W. P. Collard acted as chairman
of the meeting for the rural line
representatives with W. A. Branch

named which will probnbly wait on
the public service commisioner the
members of this being R. C. Day.

At conclusion of the meeting
Manager Collins agreed to write to

submit the grievance of the rural
line representatives as he stated he
had no authority to make any
changes In rate himself.

DAIRY HERDS -OF
POLK COUNTY
IN GOOD SHAPE
Dallas Dairy herds of Polk coun
ty are In a healthy condition. Dr.
H. D. Peterson, county veterinarian,
reports that the amount of Infec
tious abortion Is being cut down
and that for several years the coun
ty has been on the modified ac
credited lLst as free from bovine
tuberculosis.
Dr. Peterson reports that during
the past two years he has tested
12,178 head of cattle for tubercu
losis In a total of 2018 herds. Out
of this number which represents
practically every animal over a year
old In the county, only one reactor
was found. 1hls Is a record that the
dairymen of the county should be
extremely proud of, particularly
when it is considered that a good
many animals are shipped Into the
county from other areas from time
to time.
Interest in testing for Infectious
abortion is increasing all the time,
according to Dr. Peterson. During
the same period he has made 2149
tests for infectious abortion In ft
total of 248 herds,. One hundred
ninety-nine of these herds have
passed at least one test without a
re-actor.
Only 177 or eight percent of all
the animals tested have reacted to
abortion tests. According to Peter
son this shows a decrease in the
amount of abortion over tests run
some time back when this work was
first started.
In some communnties almost all
of the cows have been tested at one
time or another by the activities of
local granges and farmers' unions.
These organizations have worked
with County Agent J. R. Beck In
lining up the herds in their com
munities after which Dr. Peterson
was called in and the animals were
tested. Where such organized effort
it undertaken, Dr. Peterson makes
special arrangements for the test
ing that are favorable to the dairy
men. '
The reputation of Polk county
dairy herds for freedom from dis
ease should bring lots of business
to this territory from districts not
so well off. According to Beck, it Is
expected that the Portland milk
shed will have to use cows free from
Infectious abortion as well as tuber
culosis in the near future. In addi
tion, California is beginning a real
effort to clean out tuberculosis with
the result that several hundred
head will be shipped out of Del
Norte county In the Immediate fu
ture to be slaughtered because of
their being reactors. This means
that both of these districts will be
looking elsewhere for animals free
from disease to re-stock their herds.
Mr. Beck states that he is urging
dairymen of this county to make a
real effort to clean out infectious
abortion from all of their herds so
as to be in a position to supply the
cows when the price of healthy ani
mals goes up.

in formulating a permanent program.
Reaffirming its recommendation
that the widening of the road be
tween Oregon City and Salem to
30 feet of pavement be the first
major improvement undertaken on
the Pacific highway, and that at
tention then be given to relocat
ing and straightening the link
from the California line north over
the Siskiyou mountains and to
needed widening and reconstruc
tion of the west side Pacific high
way from Portland to Junction
City.
Urging that in inagurating im
provement projects the highway
commission first have its engineers
fix definite location lines so that
the public, particularly those along
the proposed improvement route,
will be informed and able to make
their plans conform.
Authorizing the appointment by
senator Ed Bailey, president of
the organization, of a committee
of three with authority to cooperate
wun other highway groups in the
state in opposing Impairment of
highway revenues, serious curtail
ment of the road development pro
gram or in other matters of com
mon good roads interest.
Endorsement of the recommen
dation for a permanent program
of construction, first presented for
consideration by President Bailey,
was unanimously made both by the
executive committee of the Paci
fic highway association at a din
ner meeting In the early evening
and later at a mass meeting open
to the public and to delegates from
several oiher sections of the state
after being advocated by all of the
speakers heard.
Bailey" first presented the Idea
of urging the commission to for
mulate a five-year program at the
dinner meeting at the Woodburn
hotel, stating that such a program
would systematize highway con
struction in the state, enable the
commission to stentifically budget
Its finances, inform every com
munity In the state as to what they
could expect In road construction
during a definite period and relieve
the commission irom tne time
consuming and impracticable pro
cedure of having to hear . delega
tions forever urging local projects
at every meeting of the commis
sion.
The executive committee re
sponded to Bailey's recommenda
tions by adopting a resolution fa
voring a 5-year program, but at
the subsequent meeting, upon mo
tion of William Briggs. of Ashland,
the recommendation was broadened
to specify a "permanent" program
of five or more years to be work
ed out by the highway commission
in consultation with representative
road groups from all parts of the
state. Brlees' motion followed talks

A strong sentiment In opposition

sounded by President Bailey, and

was heard throughout the entirs)
meeting and resulted in the adop
tion of a resolution offered by A.
C, Mrasters of Roseburg that the
association actively opposed any
movement to Impair hlgnway finances.
Mr. Marsters also offered the res
olution by which the association
went on record as favoring the im
mediate widening of the Oregon
City-Salem road as the first step
In the suggested program.
Except lor a report from Colonel
W. A. Aird of Canby that all of th
right-of-way for the cut-off Jus
north of Canby to the top of the
hill at New Era to. a width of lot
feet had been secured by the Clack

surances had been received front

on this stretch would be started

tioned except in the statement waa
a compromise agreement as to
width of right-of-way for the Canby
Ncw Era section had been secured
by purchase except for one small
piece, to secure which the county
would immediately start condemna
tion proceedings.
Efforts to put the association on
record as favoring a certain typa
of highway markers and to secure
an endorcment for concrete pave
ment as opposed to blacktop fell by
the wayside under an apparent
sentiment that the association
would not make any attempt to dic
tate engineering problems.
Approximately 400 people attend- .
ed the mass meeting In St. Luke's
community hall.
It was voted to hold the next
meeting of the association at Rose
