POTATOES IN CHICAGO.

New SDud Receipts Heavier and Much Old
Stock Sprouting and Rotten.
Chicago-New potatoes have the
right of way now. Receipts have been
considerably heavier than last week
and with q decline in the market buy
fers have taken hold in hurry
1t is the opinion of local operators
that with an improved outlook for
stock the present market will not be
able to maintain itself. Some local
operators have been paying as high
as 80 and 95 cents for Texas potatoes
this week although others have bought
cheaper and the general opinion is
that the market will not warrant any
thing like that price in the course of a
few days.
The quality of potatoes received
here has lately not been all, that could
be asked for: many cars have been
running poor and small.
Northern Texas points are in the
shipping game in earnest and it is
believed next. weeks receipts will
show considerable increase over this

that there will be better run of pota.

great many old potatoes were held by
anyone for no great amount was
available. A local dealer is said to
have been so unfortunate as to get in
on the crest of the high price and paid
as high as 80 cents in the country and
a Wisconsin dealer is reported to have
paid about the same figure for
nearly everything in sight and natur-
ally those who bought heavily at the
high price are having troubles Of
their own.
Old stock is showing up generally
in bad shape. Lots of potatoes are
sprouting and rot is troublesome also.
A great many cars of old potatoes
received have mixed stock and were
put on consignment for whatever they
would bring.

Waxahachie of DR.. Black hope that
his daughter may soon be restored to

MUST EXTEND THE PORTAGE.
state Road Must BE Connected With
Boat Lines at The DalIcs.

h''''A at illt
L. 5, Cook, superintendent of the
portage road, says:
The portage read will never be a
success from a financial standpoint
until 1t will have been extended from
its present lower terminus into The
Dalles, Big Eddy is the present ter
minus and it is distant from The
Dalles about three and one-half miles.
THE route which 1t would be COM
PEELED to traverse is very rough and
rocky and the extension could be
made at an estimated cost of about
$4,000, If this could be accomplish
ed and he feels certain that a bill
will be presented to the next legisla>
ture asking for an appropriation to
carry on the work, he says there
would be more than double the trade
in freight at this season of the year
and the road placed upon practically
a paying basis.
"As 1t is now, connection with the
boats on the lower river from Port
land and The Dalles is altogether too
uncertain to give the patrons of the
road on the upper river assurance that
they Will get their goods on time, if
at all, whereas, If the extension were
made and an incline provided at the
lower end direct connection would be
made and with boats at both ends and
a regular running schedule could be
depended upon by all concerned.
This would also have a tendency to
reduce the heavy expenses of handlina
/ ha oil Nx-1i oil
the profits in freight traffic and con,
vert the road into a portage road in
the strictest sense of the term, instead
of a sort of incomplete makeshift as

AN INFLATED BOOM.
As Coos Bay Appears to Unprecedented
Pendleton Observer.

After having passed several weeks
at Coos Bay looking over the situation
there, Roland Oliver returned some
saturday. He says that while consid-
cradle of a rush is now on to that sec
uon, and many of those who have
gone have done so for the purpose of
buying land for speculative purposes
rather than with the intentions of liv-
ing there.
In Marshfield and North Bend city
property has already gone to dizzy
heights for those places and it is still
advancing. The real estate boom is
largely due to the efforts of recently
arrived real estate dealers who are
working the field for all it is worth.
