EGG RECEIPTS
INCREASE IN
ALL SECTIONS
Portland, Dec. 21 (IP) Increasing
receipts for eggs are noticeable
from practically all sections of the
Pacific northwest. Seasonable gain
In the lay Is reported from all dis
torts, according to a late survey of
the Journal. Receipts are increas
ing even from sections which have
been reported as more or less storm
bound. The Increase in receipts is much
greater than that disclosed by the
federal report Issued here inasmuch
as direct sales to large retailers Is
allowing the most gain.
Price list is generally held Btcady
although there continues more or
less price shading by outside Inter
ests, which is more or less of a
usual affair.
No change In the price was an
nounced for the day either by the
Pacific co-ops or by private local
firms.
Market for butter continues to
reflect a generally steady tone here
and along the coast with practically
no price change at any point. But
terfat holds Its recent high bids.
There continues more or less of a
nominal tone for live chickens
along the wholesale way. With
hens quoted above turkeys, the de
mand for the former is naturally
much restricted.
Rather slow trad ins tone Is con
tinned in the market for both live
and dressed ducks and geese. The
former are now quoted around 13
cents for dressed with the latter
around 12 cents.
Supplies of country killed calves
arc quote well cleaned up and prices
are unchanged with the call chiefly
for the better sorts.
Most sales of top quality country
killed hogs are not above 5 cents
pound here with a dragging tone
In the livestock trade as well. Top
quality lambs and all sorts of mut
ton are In call.
Prices arc still strengthening In
the market for potatoes although
no further change is showing.
Brokers arc asking full prices and
report an Increase in sales. Scarce
ly sufficient local stock arriving to
test values.
Practically all orange sales arc in
place and pack stock.
Pish markets arc stocked with
crabs, oysters and lobsters.
California cauliflower is weak with
quality Indifferent.
Jap oranges continue to drag
wearily with handlers taking loss.
Greater trade in apples is sug
gested with practically no change
In prices.
Kotliou.sc cucumbers arc in scout
offering with most sales $1.40-1.50
dozen.
Vegetable prices are steady for
most root, stocK.
CASE
TO BFJPPFAIIP
Definite decision to take an ap
peal to the supreme court from the
decision of Judge Arlie Walker In
the matter of salaries of the deputy
district attorney and district at
torney's stenographer was reached
at a conference this morning be
tween County Judge Slcgmund, Dis
trict Attorney-elect W. H. Trlndle
and Lars Bcrgsvik, special counsel
In the case for the county court.
Trlndle stated this morning that
It is a matter of moment to all of
the counties of the valley. The sal
aries of the two employes of the
district attorney's office and man
ner of the payment of the deputy
were put under attack by Circuit
Judge McMahon and the present
suit was instituted by District At
torney Carson against the county
court for an adjudication. Judge
Walker approved the validity of the
payments.
District Attorney -elect Trindlc
stated today Uiat he believed It was
legal for the deputy district attor
ney to be paid from the prohibition
fund, the only possible question be
ing as to whether the payments
should be ordered by the county
court or the district attorney. He
stated there is no question in his
mind that the district attorney
could have ordered such payments
from the prohibition fund but pay
ments were made on order of the
county court on the approval of the
district attorney. Ho expressed the
belief, however, that In his opinion
such payments were valid.
HIGHLAND PUPILS
PRESENT PROGRAM
Although the personnel of the
production was considerably disar
ranged through Illness, the Christ
mas program presented by student
of Highland school at Jason Lee
church Tuesday night was- one of
the most enjoyable of Its kind in re
cent years, according to the spec
tators who crowded the auditorium
to capacity. The main feature oi
the program was done in pantomime
with students from the music de
partment singing Christmas carols.
The giving of the entire Christ
mas story from the scriptures by
David Putnam, a 6-A student, from
memory was favorably commented
upon. Huge shadow pictures used in
the pantomime were mostly the pro
duction of 6-A students.

PAIR IN DUEL,
BOTH KILLED
Vernon, Texas, Dec. 21 (A) Two
men, one a defeated candidate for
sheriff, were found dead on Main
street hero last night shortly after
pistol shots were heard. Police said
a pistol lay beside each body and
the men apparently had foucht a
duel, but authorities could not as
certain a motive.
Police said one shell had been
discharged from the pistol which
lay near H. H. Hutto, 50. the de
feated candidate. They said all
Hvo 6hells In the pistol near the
body of David B. Farrar, 35, had
been fired. Four or five bullets had
struck Hutto. One had hit Farrar.
An inquest was announced for
today.
Continuation of
BEER BILL VOTE
(from page one)
representatives of wet and dry or
ganizations.
Washington, Dec. 21 (TP) The 3.2
percent beer bill neared pnssage In
the house of representatives today,
Judging from the vigor with which
the members shouted down amend
ments to lighten both Its alcoholic
content and the tax to be imposed.
One attempt after another to al
ter the measure as approved by
committee, carrying as it does a five
dollar a barrel tax, was frustrated
by legislators on edge from the
strain of hours of dispute.
Watched by galleries in which wo
men predominated, the democratic
leadership succeeded in having turn
ed aside efforts both by drys and
wets to rewrite various clauses.
An amendment by Representative
Michener, Michigan republican, to
cut the alcoholic content to 2.75 per
cent by weight was rejected, 124 to
75.
Dry organizations again had
spokesmen active in corridors of the
house side of the capitol, and state
ments of their attitude were being
distributed.
Clinton N. Howard, chairman of
the national united committee for
law enforcement, had circulated
among the legislators a communica
tion headed "Congress celebrates
Christmas" which in part said:
'Not since the crucifixion has a
more shocking proposal been made
by any nation catling itself Chris
tian Uian the sacrilegious attempt
of the American congress to cele
brate the birth of the Son of God
by passing the beer for revenue bill
on the calendar of the house for
discussion and action. . .
No such insult has been offered
to the Son of God in any nation
calling itself Christian since Judas
Iscorlot gave him the kiss of be
trayal and sold him for thirty pieces
of revenue. If the house passes the
beer for revenue bill on Holy
Christmas week, and puts It Into
the public treasury, which the mur
derers of our Lord refused to do
because It was 'the price of blood,'
the 72nd congress will wear the
brand of Cain to the end of etern
ity." The antl-prohlbltionist republic
ans got together on one point as to ,
amendments, that was to oppose 1
the attempt scheduled to cut the I
alcoholic content to 2.75 percent.

RUSH TURKEYS
TO CALIFORNIA
FOR CHRISTMAS
Roseburg, Ore., Dec. 31 CP) A
rush shipment of turkeys will be
made by the Oregon Turkey Grow
ers, according to J. O. Leedy. sec-
retary, to meet a strong demand
on California markets for Oregon
birds for the holiday season. Mc-
Klnley Huntington, president of the
organization, has broadcast a radio
appeal to members to prepare for
the pool, which will be loaded at
McMinnvllle and Albany on the
23th, Eugene on the 24th, Oakland
on the 26th and Roseburg on the
27th.
The association has been advised
that the supply of Oregon birds on
the California markets has been
nearly exhausted and that con
sinners are demanding Oregon tur
keys. The association had not
planned to form another pool until
after the first of next year, but
will now take advantage of present
conditions to get the fowls to mar
kets rather than establish a surplus
in storage.
The asssoclation will advance 6
cents on prime, 4 cents on choice
and 2 cents on commcrial grades
upon delivery.
Independent dealers In the Rose
burg vicinity are receiving a lib
eral supply of fowls today and
paying a top of 12 cents.
The shortage on the coast mar
kets is attributed here to freezing
weather. Growers, lacking facil
ities for keeping dressed turkeys
from freezing, did not kill during
the severe cold and shipments to
California were less than half of
the deliveries expected, the asso
ciation is informed.

CAUSES WRATH
Tillamook, Dec. 21 WP) Criticism
of the stand taken by Leslie M.
Scott, chairman of the highway
commission, was expressed at a mass
meeting here last night at which
residents of the county were out
spoken in their denunciation of a
letter from Scott In which the chair
man suggested that letting of the
Wilson river road contract be con
sidered further "and very seriously."
Scott's letter said that because of
reduced highway funds, the advis
ability of further consideration of
the Wilson river project seemed ap
parent. He suggested more money
might be spent on existing Tilla
mook county roads.
H. T. Botts, A. T. Beal, H. H.
Rosenberg and R. H. Miller of Tilla
mook issued a Joint statement in
which it was said that Scott's
"claim of there being much oppo
sition to the Wilson river road was
felt to be the same opposition that
has cropped out and successfully
blocked this road whenever favor
able action seemed to be imminent."
The statement said further that
"a penciled memorandum accom
panying this letter purporting to
claim that good work can be done on
the existing Tillamook highway,
with a larger expenditure of money
than on the Wilson river project,
was resented much by those at the
meeting, being regarded as a s spot
to divert attention from Tillamook
county's most needed road project,
and seemingly inconsistent with
his statement that they are aband
oning the Wilson river road to con
serve funds x x x."
MISSION PLANNING
XMAS FOR HOMELESS
Work of the Open Door mission
is constantly increasing, according
to the pastor, Rev. H. W. Coulon,
who reports that from the first
of the month to December 16 the
mission served 1671 meals, gave
lodging to 308 people and cared for
a number of persons, some of whom
were frost-bitten. Because there is
not sufficient bedding a fire is kept
constantly for the lodgers. Dona
tion of five cots and mattresses by
a local hotel helped relieve the con
dition, Rev. Coulon states, while
many residents of the city have
contributed quilts and covers.
Evangelistic services are being
held each evening at 7:45 o'clock
with the public invited to attend.
Tile mission is preparing to make
Christmas as cheerful as possible
lor me nomeiess and any dona
tions, cither before or after Christ
mas, will be appreciated. Rev
Ooulon invites the public to visit
the mission at 315V4 North Com
mercial street at any time to be
come more familiar with the work
of the mission.

to the lowest known for cash wheat

port emphasizing the low condition

traders, however, challenged the ac
curacy of the government estimate
or 1.3 per cent reduction In acre
age. Opening unchanged to
higher, wheat held near the in
itial limits. Corn started at '.i off
to !i up and altered little.
DIVORCE PENDING

ress to return to the home of her
mother, Peck to remain in the home
he built for his bride.
Announcement of their estrange
ment came from Miss Gaynor's at
torney, Lloyd Wright, who ascribed
the characteristic differences which
have wrecked so many film romanc
es. "Clashes of temperament," con
ditions "over which neither party
has any control," and "requirements
of their professions," were explana
tions contained in the attorney's
statement.
"It is simply another case In
which & husband and wife have
looked at a situation frankly and
honestly and have determined for
themselves that if they cannot live
happily together, they should be
separated," he said. He added that

cussed.

BI-PRODUCTS OF
CRIED FRUITS TO
BE DEVELOPED
The California Prune and Apri
cot Growers Association has been
working for some time through its
Research Department, in charge of
C. B. Papc, on the development of
both bi-products and some new
processes to be applied to the pack
ing of dried fruits, says the Cali
fornia Print News. The Associa
tion says that three of the expori
mcnts have already graduated from
the laboratory and aro now in the
process of market testing and "it
is possible that we may not recog
nize the form and style of our
dried fruit offering a few years
hence." Mr. Pane says that the
development of bi-products is
more than usually necessary at this
time to utilize in new ways the
inferior qualities which always
come in every crop, so that such
may enter new channels and not
compete with or retard the sale
of regular quality merchandise.
Hc believes that such Inferior
grades as are of the same food
value but not the same eye appeal,
can be more successfully marketed
as of themselves, and also without
competing with the standard grades
by putting the lower grades and
bi-products into manufacturing
channels thus benefitting both
such products and the better
grades. Under the present surplus
of productions in our fruit lines and
the recent curtailment of most of
our export market, it is, he says,
more than ever needed that we de
velop new outlets, as well as by
products for off-grades of dried
fruits. Mr. Pape refers, for one
thing, to the possibilities in the
promotion of prune Juice' as a
breakfast drink and fountain bev
erage, which could utilize the
small sizes as well as the cracked
and scabby prunes which are not
sightly but no detriment to the
juice. He also points out the possi
bilities in the field of apricot paste
ana prune pulp with outlets to the
bakery and confectionery trade.
