Tho price Is from $G to C less than that current lit t li In tlmo lust year, nml tho cnusu of tho drop, according to local buyers, lies In thu fact that sheepmen, with the weak market for wool, nro no longer en deavoring to corner n large supply for winter use. This I coupled, with tho larger Central Oregon ncroago In alfalfa and tho better yield hero mid In tho Northwest In general. Anton Auue, one of tho heaviest buyers In this section, stuted this week that ho In not loutlliig up heav ily, purchasing only sufficient for his Immediate needs, us ho la of tho opinion, especially since tho recent decline In other commodities stnrtcd, that hay may bo duo for n further drop. Last year ho handled 2000 tons, chiefly baled. Hay, particularly nlfalfn. Is more plentiful this year In Centrul Oregon than for many years, Mr. Auno stnt ed. Ono of tho big reasons for tho lowering noted from Inst year's prices, ho says, Is to bo found In tho largo sales of stock, eliminating tho need for n largo reservo of fodder.

ELECTION LAW IS EXPLAINED LOCALFILINGS NOT TO BE STOPPED Hlntnto Ilo(xi Xol Conti'tnplntc Kn forcing as Day l.lmlt on Ilencl, Im Hellrf of Clly Atturnry No f.'niidlihilrs Vet In Itiinnlng. i Although thu state law providing that nil candidates for city offices shall iiavo their names filed wjth tho county clerk not less than 28 days beforo the election, llcnd will adhere totbo provisions of tho ordinance passed nt tho last meeting of tho city council fixing IS days beforo tho bal loting as tho last tlmo for filing. This was the opinion given yes terday by City Attorney C. 8. son after perusing the section of tho 1919 Oregon laws relating to city elections. Tho provisions nro defi nite, but Mr Ilenson has In his pos session an opinion given on this samo section last spring by Supremo Court Justice Drown, then attorney general of Oregon, which leaves much to tho discretion of tho Individual munici pality. "It cannot bo presumed that tho legislature attempted to deprive cities nnd towns of their local auton omy in rofcrenco to their officers nnd election by chapter 283, If the leg Islaturolshould bo presumed to havo such power," Mr. Drown wrote. .No Pilings Made. From this, Mr. Ilenson considers that tho city of Hend tins tho right to permit filings up to within 15 days of tho general election, which Is also tho municipal election, nnd to con duct Its nominations nnd elections In nny manner tho administration may see fit, to long ns tho provisions of tho state constitution arc observed. Tho question was brought up by tho nctloa of tho Portland city attor ney In advising yesterday that entries for tho political raco In Portland bo closed becnuso of tho 28-day limit set by statute. His advlco was followed by tho Portland city auditor. "It looks ns It we aro up against It," Mayor J. A. EaBtes de clared nftcr rending tho section of. tho stntuto In question. Then ho asked for tho opinion of Mr. Dcnson. If tho statuto wero literally fol lowed boro tho city would havo no elections and tho present mayor nnd council would bo compelled to hold over, ns no filings hnvo as yet been made. .

Although tho state highway com mission Is not now In a position to cooperato with Deschutes county In tho matter of constructing tho Redmond-Sisters or the Tumalo-Slsters highways, a telegram has been re ceived from Salem In responr.o tn a wire Inquiry sont by tho county- court, to tho effect ttrat tpo commis sion Is willing that county work shall bo taken as cooperation. As tho county's money Is now available, the county tractor and graders, which have been used within the city limits on Newport avenue, wcro started yesterday for Cllno falls, whero tho work will bo started on the Ilodmond-Slsters road. Tho fact that there aro no right of way claims to bo taken caro of for some distance Is responsible for tb.'s point being chosen for tbo beginning or road building. TAX SHORTAGE TOTALS $70,821 Deschutes county is $70,821 short on tax collections, as nearly as It could bo determined In the office of Sheriff S. E. Roberts yesterday Tho books closed to payments at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Chief Deputy August Anderson computed that $319,596 had been paid In', while the total 1919 levy was $390,- 417. Although taxes remaining unpaid aro considerably greater than the amount dollnquent last year $51,- 000 tho proportionate deficit is vir tually the samo, as tho levy for col lection in 1919 was $291,421. In each case the money remaining to be paid Is slightly In excess of 17 per cent of tho entire levy.
