Corner on Eggs Broken.

Eugene Ore.-A slow demand dur
ing the past week has broken the
back of the local egg market. For
some time past the consumer has
had to pay As cents per dozen and 1t
has taken much courage on the part
Of the average patron of the hen to
lock- an egg square in the face.
Eggs have dropped to 3S cents in
the local market. and it is predicted
that the price may go to 30 cents
within the next week. In view OF
the constant increase in the cost OF
living it may be that a discrimination
similar to the boycott on the hen may
be applied in the matter of other
food stuffs.

cd of awarding the prize banner to
the county whose republicans would
in the election of that year make the
