Keeping the Record Straight.

Editor Herald The roast given

nights Republic shows about how
much interest that sheet takes in
the High School.
In the first instance the cub that
wrote it did not know what he was
writing about. The longest run was
made by Haze instead of Stransz,
and the drop kick was made by Mil
Ter instead of Culbertson, as the Re-
public stated. AS to our being out
played at every stage of the game,
it was just the opposite, and Sunny
side only scored on a fake play.
In the second instance the cub
stole the H. S. reporters copy, which
was correct, and revised 1t in the
mistaken idea that he was doing
something smart.
We know most of our own faults
and do not need them shouted by
some knocker to the public.

The live stock market is holding
steady. The prices are not high, but
the supply is meeting the demand
nicely. A little stock is still going
east, but not from this part of the
country. With the exception of
sheep, all the live stock raised in
this vicinity is sold on the local mar
ket. The price of turkeys has ad-
vanced a trifie for the better birds.
When Thanksgiving is a little nearer
the price is expected to go as high as
IA cents pound.
No noticeable change is reported
in the price of wheat and other
grains. Oats are still in good de-
mand and all kinds of feed is very
strong. Last week "Barnes the feed
man" disposed of seven carloads of
different kinds of feed in the local
market. one man taking 500 sacks.
The hay market was very active
and strong during all last week. So
strong that no part of an order for
5000 tons of baled timothy for the
government could be filled by Yaki-
ma dealers. This order was placed
by the authorities a week ago for use
in the islands, but as the contract
would not permit of paying higher
price than $13 ton to the growers,
the Yakima farmers who are holding
their hay at from $14 to SIS a ton,
lost out and the order was filled in
the Willamette valley. This fact
shows that the local hay market is
little higher than those outside and
therefore is liable to slight slump.
The local demand Is strong. Dealers
are having no trouble to get the hay,
but car for shipping 1t in is another
matter and entirely out of the ques-
ton. The shortage of cars is prac-
tically shutting some of the growers
and dealers out of the Sound markets
where the large orders are placed
both by the government and by pri-
vate concerns.
Apples of course are the principle
product in the markets at this time
