The matter came up when a Sa lem grocer offered the board beans at 2 1-2 cents lower than the quotations in the bids.

Treasurer Kay replied there never was a time when he could not get goods in open market ior less than by adver tising for bids. The governor reiterated his doubt, as to the advisability to reject after the bids had been opened and the proposi tion practically closed. The secretary stated that the Armour company, of Portland, was the lowest bidder at 10 J.-2 cents a pound but that the Roth Grocery company offered them for 8 1-2 cents after the bids were all in and op ened. The Allen & Lewis company and the Mason & Bhrman company were also bidders. Secretary Olcott supported Governor Withycombe in this matter and the board decided to accept true lowest bid, 10 1-2 cents a pound for the beans. The Welch Electric company, of Sa lem, was lower than any of the Port land firms bidding on the wiring of the tower, the chicken houses, and other buildings, the sum for materials being $71.55. The installation is to cost not more than $30. Offer for Flax Seed.

Official announcement was made to day that this government expects to hear from the first chief today as to whether he agrees to the troop with drawal terms, uiirieumes m iiaiisuus sion may delay the answer until tomor row, but this government does not pur- ipose to negotiate with Carranza further on this point. If Carranza does not sign as stipulat ed, the commis-siou sessions will be at an end. This will leave the situation as it was before the commission convened at New London in the early fall. It may mean, too, a firmer policy on the point of this government in dealing with Mexican affairs. Carranza submitted an amended pro tocol to the conferees in Philadelphia last week. This was rejected and the American group informed the Mexicans the first would have to stand.

The freight charge from hero to New York was stated as being .70 a bushel. Because he thought it a dangerous policy to send away too much of thc flax seed in case the growing of the flax in the valley might become more extensive, the govcrifo? was not willing that more than 2,500 out of the 5,000 bushels of new seed be sold. The cable to Agnew & Hamilton states therefore that the amount that will be sold is 2, 500 bushels. After the board of control meeting, the -state land board took up its regular session and transacted routine business.

"Give me $1,800 in gold," Harry J. Mullens, son ot a prominent Seattle contractor, de manded of Assistant Manager G. H Raleigh, of the Bank of California to day. Mullins accompanied the demand with a significant move of his hand toward his hip and smiled grimly. "1 guess you fellows are afraid of me," he. said. "If you don't give me the money, I'll find some other way." Half an hour later, Mullins was non chalantly smoking a cigar in a cell at police headquarters. Mullins took a sudden notion today tnat he wanted to purchase an auto mobile, and with but seven cents in his pocket and the big idea in mind, he discussed the subject with Howard Steers, an automobile salesman. Steers sixed tip the neatly attired and pros perous appearing Mullins and immedi ately decided he had a "live one."

Market Was Very Dull Little Price Changes Kew York, Dec. 26. The New York Evening Sun financial review today says: There was a holiday atmosphere about today's Btoek market. Little interest was manifested in the movements of .securities by the rank and file of Wall street. The attendance in commission houses was not large and the business transacted, although the volume would have been regarded as big in normal times, was relatively small- But these elements had but scant in fluence in shaping the trend of the mar ket. There was a strong undertone throughout, save for a brief period of pressure in mid-afternoon and the un settlcment at the opening, when there were numerous weak spots, followed by a reactionary movement that wiped out all the earlier gains. By midday, how ever, there was a quiet movement up ward, while trading was sluggish in the extreme. United States steel opened above 107, receded to near 106 and then again advanced as high as .107 3-4, near which level it continued to hold well. Prices continued to advance until well into the afternoon, additional im-j petus being given thc movement by fail ure of Gerraany and her allies to submit terms of peace in reply to President Wilson's note. However, prices eased off in the last hour and considerable irregularity developed, although trad ing continued quiet. United States steel, which sold near IO81 reacted to a fraction above 107. tie salt and a Salvation Army Christ mas card lay nearby. The aged woman had stumbled in the blowing rain Satur day night and perished miserably while trying to find her way to her husband find her home with a charity Christmas dinner.
