One Vault Not Enough.

Joe Driskel, a farmer south of Troy,
a member of the jury, says: Il have
changed my mind on that vault prop
! osition. | was in favor of the immedi-
ate construction of vault, and was
of the opinion that at small expense
one good vault big enough to hold all
the records could be put up. But
can now understand why this will not
do. We would have to provide several
vaults. The officials could not oc-
cupy a common vault for some very
good reasons, and | now see that this
is going to cost a lot more money
than l first thought possible"
County Auditor Estes said: 81 could
not use common vault"
Judge Steele talked to the investiga-

least thousand dollars.

Butter and Egg Prices

Los ANGELES, Dec. 9.-House-
wives may draw a temporary sigh of
relief for during The last week prices
on eggs declined no less than cents
and are now several cents lower ihan
at This time last year. Although ad-
vances may he expected with The com
mg of general wave of cold weather,
the cost of living problem has for the
last few days presented a brighter as
pect.
That the decline in egg price was
larger than Is warranted at This lime
Of year seems to he the opinion IF
many Of the dealers who are in touch
with the situation. For This reason il
Is predicted that advances will occur
again soon, especially at the time Of
the Christmas holidays. There is a
bare possibility If a further lowering
Of prices in the next few days, hut
it is believed that any further de
cline Will be small if it occurs, and
it is more kelly that llrmness will
characterize The market until the ad-
vance.
The local market is influenced to a
great extent in its action by prices in
san Francisco. and the tendency there
has been rather weak. Should prices
ne firm in The northern city, similar
condition Will he felt here. The re-
ee'ptS Of fresh eggs have not grown
in size to any extent. and are sill far
behind the demand. This. it is be
lieved. makes the foundation for the
recent decline rather shaky and a
strong reaction as a consequence IS
likely 10 set in just as soon as con
ditions are right
No relief is in sight a. far as butler
prices are concerned, and they are
scheduled for an advance in two Or
three weeks at the outside. 1t is pre-
dicted that san Francisco will set 4
higher rate by the 18th of the month,
ana should This prove the case there
l. practically no doubt that the mar
het viii hc higher here. Butter has
been very high in nearly every sec
tion of the east-higher. in fact, than
locally in some cities a. New York
and Chica~o-and the fact that prices
have remained steady here is rather
fortunate. An advance in butter will
probably mean what will seem an al
most eXorhitant rate on the retail mar
Fet, but limited supply and the
growth III population with consequent
expansion Of the city's needs are be
coming important factors in forcing the
prices up.
The market on northern fresh cheese
has been much easier during the last
two weeks, probably due 10 a falling
on in The demand because of higher
prices and the cheaper rates in san
Francisco.
