TOURING THE STATE
Good Roads Experts Will Visit Dallas,
Friday Afternoon.

Big crowds and intense enthusiasm
for better built highways at every
meeting place are causing Judge Web
ster and Professor Eldridge to make
triumphant progress in their state
wide good roads campaign, says the
Portland Journal
Reports indicate that the people of
Oregon are becoming nightly arous-
ed to practical effort for good roads
construction. At Enterprise Wednes-
day night Professor Eldredge, govern
ment expert, with views, demonstrated
before a packed house the harm of
mud roads and the development OBJ
tanning through modern construction
methods He was followed by Judge
Webster, who advocated in behalf of
the Oregon Good Roads association,
the adoption of constitutional
amendment permitting counties to is
sue road building bonds, so that in
every part of the state the people,
working comparatively, may construct
trunk highways available for both
long and short hauls and opening all
the interior to profitable development.
At La Grande the meeting in point
of numbers attending and interest
shown was a repetition of the Enter
prise gathering. County judges presid-
ed over each session. Experiments in
macadam road construction were eX-
amined by the experts and pronounced
good. A long ride through the valley
beyond La Grande brought from Pro-
fessor Eldredge stirring predictions of
the future of prestige and prosperity
that lies before the community.
Both Professor Eldredge and Judge
Webster complimented the people
warmly upon their energy and broad
citizenship. Judge Webster expressed
it as his conviction that the constitu-
tional amendment giving the people
power to spend their own money for
good roads will be approved by big
majority of the voters at the election
next November.

OUR MARKET LETTER
Receipts and Sales at Portland Union
Stock Yards.

PORTLAND, Or, May 21-Receipt'
for the week ending today have been
Cattle 2244, calves "a, hogs 1868, and
sheep 6160
In the face of the liberal supply OF
cattle, the market has remained sur
prisingly strong. A loss of from 10 to
4 15c per hundred on the week is light
especially in view of the arrival OF
grass cattle. The bulk of the arri-
walls are from California and in point
of quality they ruled better than the
usual offerings from East of the Cas-
cade Mountains. The re-adjustment
of prices expected because of the diff
ference in California hay fed and ore
gon grass cattle cannot be said to
have taken place.
The sheep market has lowered stead
ily and the wide variation shown in
nrices has been due to like condl-
ton in the quality of the offerings,
There has been a fair demand at the
lower prices.
The hog market shows increased
supplies from local territory and
prices are about steady at last weeks
closing. Tops have brought $1O.55 the
bulk of the sales running at $lO.5O.
Representative sales are as follows;
steers. S5.75 to Sc; cows, $3.50 to $5;
hogs, $1O.45 to $1O.55; cattle So;
lambs. $3.50 to So; sheep, $3.50 to

sold candy and soda water ON the
school grounds. The money raised by
this sale will be used in paying the
