BUTTER MART STEADY ALONG PACIFIC COAST Portland, Nov. 21 LP) Trading In butter 1a steady with government buying of xresh surplus creating a firm tone in spots. As a result of the government purchases lower scores were boosted Me on the ex change. There Is a weaker tone all through the egg market. Despite efforts to maintain the nominal quotations now listed for fresh stock, most lo cal sales are reported lower and In line with easier conditions elsewhere. Only a very draggy tone is show ing for potatoes here despite much talk of strength imparted by the ar tificial advances at country points. Buyers are purchasing only their most Immediate needs and these are being taken care of by former prices. Still another carload of cranber ries is due from the eastern bogs within a day or so. Already four car loads have arrived, which gives far bigger outside supply than obtained from local bogs. Prices nominally steady. Cabbage prices are being advanced with purchases of rather fair vol ume at $20 ton at country points. Lettuce market is fairly steady at late prices. Cauliflower market Is fairly steady at late prices. Cauli flower and celery sales continue firm tn carlots. Hothouse tomatoes firm er and appear a trifle higher. Cheese market continues to show slight easiness. Apple trading still very slow with prices a trifle weak. RALLIES TODAY Chicago, Nov. 21 W1) Late rallies In wheat prices today lifted the market to materially above yester day's finish, but the gains failed to hold. Enlargement of speculative buying accompanied the advance, and was attributed to reports in some quar ters that notwithstanding denials the wheat crop damage develop ments in Argentina were severe. British and Canadian advices tend ed to confirm Argentine dnmage. Wheat closed nervous at H de cline to advance compared with yesterday's finish, corn 3-8 to 1 cent down, oats unchanged and provi sions unchanged to 32 cents lower. Influenced by unconfirmed reports of Argentine wheat crop damage from yellow stripe rust, grain prices averaged a fraction higher early. Uncertainties of the monetary situa tion were apparently a check on j buyers, with higher gold quotations at Washington and new rise in sterling having put little Immedi ate stimulating effect. Opening at M off to 5-8 up, wheat later showed advances all around. Corn started unchanged to c higher, and sub sequently held near the initial limits. ASK RECEIVER FOR LINN SECURITIES Portland, Nov. 21 (LP) O. C. Bry ant, receiver for the First National Bank of Albany, today filed suit In federal court asking that a receiver be appointed for the Linn Securi ties company of Albany. He alleged that the company owes the bank $15,600, owes other credi tors $124,000, and that Its assets are worth only $6000. - The suit wiu be argued Friday. Continuation of ";r Z'1 Highway Board From Pafe One the power of any future legislature to discontinue the payments provid ed in the act in question. Assump tion of Indebtedness, In the ordin ary acceptation of the word, means lor one person to bind himself to pay the debt incurred by another. . . The legislature no doubt felt that it was Just and equitable to prant some relief to a highway improvement district unduly burdened by taxes on account of having constructed a highway which it was the primary duty and obligation of the state to construct. Justice Campbell in his dissent ing opinion says: "That Chapter 298 Oregon laws 933 violates sec. 8, Art. 11 of the Oreffon Constitution and also violates Sub-section 7 of Sec. 23 Art. 4 of the Constitution, which provides against special and local laws for laying, opening or working on highways." The writer is firmly of the opinion that the provisions of the constitution above referred to, were especially Intended to prohibit the kind of legislation enacted by Chap. 298 Laws 1933. I do not wish to be understood as saying that the state could not take over certain roads and incorporate them into the state highway system and in doing so make allowance to the district that built the roads, but they may only be done by a general low made applicable to all districts where the facts Rre the same." Chief Justice Rand concurs in this opinion. Justice Rossmnn concludes his dissenting opinion with this state ment: "But, regardless of whether It is an assumption of the district's debt by the State, I feel clearly sat isfied that the act contemplates the bestowal of a favor upon one dis trict in violation of the above Con stitutional provision. Tills precedent will enable all debt-burdened mu nicipalities to apply for individual favors. I therefore dissent." Ther remains unpaid on this bond fssue the sum of (120,000.

DART GAMES WILL PAY $100 LICENSE A license fee of $100 a year would be assessed against operators of dart amusement games operating in the city by an ordinance bill introduced at the city council meeting last night by Alderman O. A. Olson. By special dispensation of the council Mrs. Christine Buttrlck will be allowed to operate a popcorn wagon near the street curb and near the State theater on Church street. Mrs. Buttrlck had some dif ficulty In reaching an agreement with the theater management, but both she and Don Young, repre senting the theater, told the coun cil this had been adjusted. The theater management retains the privilege of making effective a pro test on 30 days notice if It develops that the wagon is detrimental to the theater. An ordinance affecting the case was Introduced, given three readings under suspension of rules and passed. Mayor Douglas McKay Introduced an ordinance bill for repeal of the ordinance prohibiting the parking of trucks in the fire zone. The or dinance has never been enforced and Is held unsatisfactory. The council passed the ordinance for a $60,000 bond issue to refund city hall bonds dating back to 1894, provision for payment of which has never been made. TURNER TELEPHONE DIRECTORS GATHER Turner The board of directors of the Turner Telephone company met recently, holding the first meeting since January of this year.

While during the past year a number of patrons have dis continued use of their phones some are now arranging to be connected on the lines again. The company, which Is a mutual corporation, serv es about 70 subscribers at the pres ent time. Board members at the eeting were Frank Schampier, pres ident; Fred Dcnham, C. A. Bear, di rectors, and E. S. Prather, secretary.

That committee will meet tonight for the purpose of giving a last over to the projects proposed to be launched In Marlon county whe ther by county, cities or school dis trict and it is expected tonight the final applications will be ready for the approval of the committee. The committee tomorrow will take the applications to Portland where they will be presented to the civic works administrator for the state for his approval. All that is need ed Is his approval. . while a copy of the applications will go back to Slot Machine Theft Brings Indictment Two true bills, one of them a se cret indictment, were returned by the Marion county grand Jury in Judge McMahan's court this morn lng. The true bill made public is an indictment against Jack Campbell, proprietor of the Checkerboard Ser vice station near Gervais and charg es him with the larceny of a nickel-in-the-slot machine from Ross B. Clark and Charles Pabst, owners of the Silver Eagle Tavern. Harry Craig recently pleaded guilty to similar indictment and it is charged Campbell was in an automobile with cralg.

PHILHARMONIC TO PLAY AT CAPITAL A much finer setting will be avail able for the first concert of the Philharmonic orchestra season scheduled for Thursday night, De cember 7, according to announce ment today of the management. The Capitol theater has been se cured for the opening performance. In past seasons the orchestra has been compelled to use the armory which Is not adapted for symphony programs either from a music standpoint or for the comfort of the listeners. Jacques Gershkovitch, -who di rected the orchestra during last season will handle the baton again this year. Rehearsals for the open ing performances have been under way for some time. Mildred Roberts, violinist who re cently returned from abroad after four years of study, will play the Beethoven concerto with the orches tra. The concerto has many bril liant and difficult passages, making it possible for soloist and orchestra to display their skill. Silvcrton Guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Richard P. Larson all day Sunday were their son, Clifford Larson, Mrs. Larson and their son, Dickie, or Oregon city. - Washington, this Is only in tne na ture of a formality for the record there as approval of these projects Is not needed at Washington, mem bers of the relief committee state. Four copies of the applications are required, one for the relief committee here, one for the state civic works administration, one for Washington and one to the veter ans bureau at Portland. While the state civic works administration has charge of alloting the projects, the veterans bureau will have charge of distribution of all funds and handle all of the finances. It is expected that this bureau will work in co-operation with Niles here and that it will countersign all checks Issued by Niles for any ex penses on any of the projects. The committee tonight will put its final O. K. on application1! of the county for 12 or more pro jects, for the city for such projects possibly as repairing the city Jail, grading on Summer street, and cleaning out of a number of dit ches as well as Mill creek and pos sibly tackle the unsanitary condi tions surrounding one of the river sloughs. The proposal for. a new water main for Silvcrton will also be passed on as well as proposals for work to be done on playgrounds at xjesue ana rarrish schools in cluding new tennis courts, swim ming pools, horseshoe courts and other athletic developments. Work for Parrlsh school will be done largely on dinger field, according w pians. The county program Is clear ing projects on the North Santiam highway above Mehama and other pieces of road work spread about over tne entire county. Two other road projects besides the North Santiam are mainly widening and ditching. The North Santiam will be for clearing the proposed right of way along the Santiam river from Mehama up to Mill City, as it is proposed to route the new high way down tnis side of the river. Continuation of Water Proposal From Page One Elliott that acceptance of the city's proposal le impossible, and that to attempt such a deal would be to invite injunction proceedings by bond holders 6f he company on the ground that the security behind their bonds was being impaired. The city's offer stated a nurchase price of $950,000, of which $903,000 was to be paid through an exchange of city water bonds for bonds of the company, and the remaining $47,000 in casn. In rejecting the offer the com pany explains that the outstanding bonds of the company are a blanket issue against all of the properties of the company In Oregon and Washington, and that of the total value of the properties- approxim ately $1,300,000 is represented in the Salem plant. on this basis the only manner In which the company could accept a price of $950,000 and preserve the security behind Its bonds would be to receive the purchase price in cash, enabling it to go on the mar ket and buy at current quotations Donas ox tne company in the ap proximate amount of the value of the plant and retire them. The company's alternate proposal of negotiations through a bond house now take the limelight as a result of the rejection of the city's offer. This plan contemplates that the company shall give an option to a selected bond firm for purchase of the properties at an agreed price. The bond company would then un dertake to market whatever amount of city bonds would be required to net $950,000 to tne company, under write and consumatc the transac tion and turn the title to. the prop, ertles over to the city. This would enable the city to comply with the terms of the PWA loan of $1,500,000 for the construc tion of a mountain water supply system. The only out that appears feas ible at present," said Mayor Doug las McKay today when Informed of the rejection of the city's offer by the water company, "is for the city to push its application to the pub lic works administration for an additional $950,000 loan for out right purchase of the plant. "It has been suggested by some members of the council that the city should send a representative to Washington to see to the city's in terest in the matter. I believe that we have the very best man avail able in Washnigton right now, meaning Senator McNary, and that he will give the necessary time and can be depended on to see that the city's interests are taken care of. "As for the water company's al ternative proposal to the city that It be paid enough city bonds, at the present market prices of about 87 to equal $950,000, I believe the people of the city would voice such protest that the deal could not be put over. This would be an ac tual payment of about $1,100,000 face value of bonds. 'Of course there Is the alterna tive of condemnation. But that has been repeatedly objected to, and Justly, I think, because of the time it would take to get a condemna tion case through the courts. "I am not surprised at the water company's " rejection of the city's offer." RETURN FROM WASHINGTON Turner Mr. and Mrs. U. S.
