San Francisco, Dec. 20. All Pacific coast cities profited today by the light being waged on the high price of eggs by club women of New York, Chlcngj, Philadelphia and Baltimore. Dispatches received here show that Chicago women sold more than "'10, I'lKi eggs yesterday at 24 cents a down as a warning to grocers and commis sion men. As a result of this tiitht. Chicago grocers were forced to lo'vei their prices from 3.1 and 40 cents a den.. n to the level offered by the wo men representing Chicago clubs, i:eii at that figure the women cleared 2 ' 1 per dozen on their investment nr.d will use their prolits for further c iin paigns for clean food and fair nr'ces. The dairy product report tn'ay shows that the price of extra fresh c-'gs In San Francisco declined 3 cents a dozen on yesterday's trading, und are now down to 27 cent.3. A year ago tho price was 41 cents. Se lect: pullet eggs lost four cents a do?. en and are quoted at 23 cents, A year ago today pullet eggs sold at 30 cents. Extra storage eggs declined 1(4 cents. Commenting on the downward trend, the "Dairy Products Report" says: "Several reasons were advanced on the street for this drop, one being the largo amount of eggs in storage which denies must dispose of. Another rea son Is that prices In the east hnvc fallen and If local prleeB wore to he maintained at a much higher figure therj would be such a rush here and to ether coast cities of eaaten eggs as to (iut the market."

Asahel Hush, Jr., Is an event of more than usual interest, though the coming from the elsewhere into the new, of any little fellow is always to be noted with pleasure. In this case, though the new arrival lias the dis tinction of being the fourth generation of the family as well as tho fourth "Asahol," for his father, grandfather ur,d great-grandfather, tiro all alive and hearty, to give royal welcoma to the little fellow. He arrived In Salem yesterday morning, where his father, and we believe his grandfather were born. Ills sturdy old great-grandfatb. er, however, was at one tlmo a "ten derfoot," coming from tho effete east, before tho big state of Oregon was born, and while the territory, her nurse, was preparing the swaddling clothes for her.
