CATTLE HAVE DECLINED.
Portland Markets Feel the Depression
of the East.

The Oregon Daily Journal gives the
following review of Portland livestock
prices:
The great weakness displayed by
the eastern cattle markets is having a
bad effect locally. Thus far there
have been no changes in local values,
but the tone is not quite so firm.
Receipts in all lines except hogs
are slightly decreased, but with the
exception of cattle and spring lambs
all livestock is quoted rather firm.
Now that eastern packers have in
vaded this territory with packing
houses Portland prices will be more
on a parity with them than ever. Of
ficial livestock prices:
Hogs-Best eastern Oregon, $7.25;
blockers and China fats, S6.75; stock
ers and feeders, $3.50.
Cattle-Best eastern oregon steers
IS: best cows and heifers, $4; light
and medium steers, s4; light cows
$2.75; stockers and feeders, 1925;
bulls. $2.7563.
Sheep-Wethers, hc; lambs, 6 "
mixed sheep, &c; shorn lambs, sc.
Calves-Good veal. $50 to 200 lbs
5hcG6c; rough and heavy, 4 a sc.

ONE OF OUR OLDEST MERCHANTS
Conducts a Standard Business on a
"Sluare DenI' Basis.

One of the Oldest merchants known
to the shopping public of this city, is
recognized in Max Baer, who handles
mems clothing and haberdashery.
Mr.. Baer is not of the class which
buy cheap goods at some bankrupt
sale and then locate in a city, repre-
senting their goods as the latest in
styles and the best in quality, and ia
most every case swindling all who
trade with them until they are found
out and have to leave for fields anew.
But he is one of the reliable mer-
chants whom we like to trade with,
because he has built up a business on
the Square Deal plan, such as the
other class can never establish, and
we know that when trading with him
our confidence is not misplaced. He
is meeting with such success because
of the splendid line of goods carried
that he has been compelled to adver-
tise for a furnishing goods clerk and
LADY cashier, in addition to the
! force now employed.

y. in new roundhouses and machine

this section of the state, large imple-
ment mandatory two large planning
mills, sugar factory, fruit packing
house, cold storage, shops, foundry

BASEBALL OUTLOOK DUBIOUS,

Walla Walla ball team, has asked
that a nine be sent to that place from
Pendleton for a game next Sunday,
but the invitation has been courteous
ly refused.
In a phone message to Carl Cooley
yesterday Mr., O'Connor asked that
a team be sent over and offered to
secure five players for the team as
well as to give a good percentage

New Machinery.

\. Eklund, the Court street shoe
man, has just installed some new
machinery in his establishment. Some
time ago he purchased a Champion
shoe machine, which sews the soles
on and does half soling, handling a
double or triple thickness of sole
leather with ease. The thread is fed
through a reservoir which contains
molten wax. The new machine is a
finisher and burnisher. on shaft
are arranged wheels to which are at
tached sandpaper, brushes emery
cloth and woolen cloth to do the fin
ishing after the half soling is done,
BY use of the new machine it is pos
sible to sew a half sole and do the
finishing on pair of shoes in 10 min
utes. The work is all done by electric
power.

STONE FOR THE JETTY.
Active Work on Columbia River Bar
Is to BE Resumed.

That active work on the Columbia
river jetty is to be resumed ait once
is shown by the following from the
Oregon Daily Journal:
Specifications for supplying approx
imately 100000 tons of stone to be
used in the extension of the govern
ment tetty at the mouth of the Col
umbia river were prepared by the
United States engineers department
yesterday afternoon and mailed to the
contractors. 1t is stipulated that the
stone must be angular and shaped
something like prisms, but pieces not
exceeding 10 tons in weight may be of
cubical form. Stones exceeding nine
feet in length will not be accepted.
Three classes of stone will be accep-
table. Glass A will include large pieces
of stone of such weight as may be
proposed to be furnished by each bid
der as provided for in the terms of the
contract, but the minimum weight of
stone of this class must not be less
than six tons and the maximum
weight not more than 15 tons. Glass
B will include pieces weighing from
1000 pounds up to six tons. Two
thirds fthis class will range from
two to six tons, averaging three tons,
and the remainder will range from
| 1000 pounds to two tons. Glass C will
include pieces weighing from 20 to
| 1000 pounds.
OF the total amount of stone to be
purchased it is estimated that about
| 20 per cent should be of class A, 55
per cent of class B and 25 per cent
of class C. Bidders are required to
state the average daily delivery they
will agree to make during the first
| 80 days and during the following
month. The bids will be opened on
May 4.
Those who had the contract for
furnishing rock last year have been
invited to begin the work of delivering
material at the mouth of the rivel
without waiting for the bids to be
opened. Acting upon these instruc-
tions the Columbia Contract company
is getting its plant in shape to start
work as quickly as possible. One OF
this company's vessels is the tug Her.
cules, which is at Portland being con.
vertod into an oil-burner She will be
ready for service in a few days.

Il. 4. Robinson to Walla Walla.

Frof. r. F. Robinson, city superin-
tendent of public schools in Portland,
passed through the city this morning
to Walla Walla, where he will attend
meeting of the county superintend-
ents of the state of Washington being
held there this week. Mr.. Robinson
speaks encouragngly of school con-
ditions throughout Oregon, and em-
phatically declares in favor of q tax
on inheritances for school purposes
as advocated by Assessor c. =. Strain
of this county.

notified that the offer could not be
accepted.
Also, 1t Is very doubtful IL any reg
ular ball team will be organized for
Pendletoh this season.. When, the
proposition was presented few days
ago at the instance of w. F. Matlock
but little enthusiasm was found
among business men. Some were OPP
posed because they regarded it as too
late to start, and declared the city
would now have a good team could
the Matlock grounds have been Sc
cured for a more reasonable price al
the opening of the season.
In view of the feeling on the sub
ject, it Is doubtful If baseball sub
scriptioh would mset with strong fa-
vor at present. However, some sort
Of taam may y9t be organized.

from her sister-in-law in Petaluma,
Cal, 16 miles south of Santa Rosa,
stating that at least 1000 homeless
San Francisco people were camped in
Cedar Grove Park, near the city, says
the Walla Walla Statesman. At the
time the letter was written the rain
was coming down in torrents, and
causing great deal of suffering, one
building in Petaluma was wrecked
and several window panes shattered
but beyond that not much damage
was done.

Mothers Doughnuts

I've just been down to John Dyer's,
boys,
And feeling kind of blue,
I thought I'd look in at the store,
To find ont what was new:
When saw this sign a hanging
Back on the cookie case;'
Here's where you get the doughnr.s
Like mother used to make"
And nice, warm bread at p. m.
Every day you'll see,
And "FAULTLESS" Butter, Just ,ry
1t,
And 90" COFFEE.
The gallon cans of pie fruit
I next did espy,
And it made me think of mother,
And of my mothers pies.
A sort of mist shut out the store.
And standin there stead,
l saw an old white farm house,
With its doors all painted red;
whiff came through the open door,
Was 1 sleeping or awake?
The smell was that O. doughnuts.
Like my mother used to make.
But then the old door creaked,
And 1t was Low John who spake;
Here's where you get the doughnutr
Like mother used to make"
"Made I'm Oregon" eggs, 15c per doz.
