There is a difference of opinion as
to the proper derivation of the word
degetable, whether or not it was
originally wedge-eatable, on account
of its shape and universal use for
food purposes. In defense of this
origin of the name might be mention
ed the turnip, the parsnip, the carrot,
the radish, the sweet potato and the
beet, all except few varieties being
wedge-shaped. Such a derivation of
the word vegetable is almost good
enough to be taken seriously.

THE WEEKS MARKET REPORT.

Receipts for the week at the North
Portland stock yards are announced as
follows: Cattle 1904, calves 2, hogs
5318, sheep 9174.
The receipts Monday included $50
cattle, 220O hogs and $500 sheep. This
was the Target single days receipts
since the stock yards were established
in September, 1909. Swine and sheep
prices started off the week in strong
position, and in some instances advanc-
ed sharply over recent levels, but cat
tie values were spotty, due to wide
range in quality and narrow outlet.
One load of prime steers sold at $500
and few more at $7.75 to $7.85. The
remainder of medium to choice beeves
averaged from $7.45.to $40. Demand
has been slow for steers and buyers
bids forced. Killers have good
sized surplus on hand and it required
extra choice beef to bring 1928 to $3.50.
Butcher stock is in better demand than
steers, but is not as firm at the week
end as it was at the beginning. Pack
ers are short-handed on choice she stuff,
which has been a scarce article. Heif-
ers are firm and bulls and stays found
quick sale. Beef price tendency is
weak, demand slow and outlet narrow.
Over 5000 swine have arrived on the
market in six days, but the trade has
absorbed the supply at steady to higher
prices. The bulk of prime light hogs
has been selling from $500 to $50
with few loads at $8.15 to $500. Out
let narrow Friday, when another big
supply came in on the weekend stock
train. ss.05 was top price up to Fri.
day noon.
The sheep market is showing improve
ment as the winter wears along, and
while liquidation was record-breaking
outlet was broad enough to discount i,
and both mutton and lambs SOLD
higher. Prime wethers realize from
$3.50 to $3.50 and ewes $4.25 to $3.50
Lambs brought 1855 at markets close
and there is an unsatisfied call FOL
fancy stock at that price.

Party Leaders Hold Rousing Session at
State Capital.

Principles for which the Progressive
party in Idaho is to stand were emu,
merated by Guy II. Martin, the acknow-
lodged leader of the organization in this
state, at meeting at Boise last week.
While touching somewhat on national
issues, Martin confined himself most.
ly to discussion of conditions in the
state.
| He declared for retrenehment in the
conduct of the state government and
told how the Progressives expect to ac-
compfsh it. Some of the things he ad-
vocated are: A law that will Tx the
limitation on. the levies that can be
made by cities and counties; compelling
the legislature to prepare and publish a
budget showing the money it expects
to collect and how the money is to be
expended; establishment of a state pur
chasing agent or board who shall pur
chase all public supplies on a basis of
published competitive bids; abolishing
of the senate and house and formation
of compact legislatively body, abolish
ment of many state offices; the short
ballot; the recall to effect all state and
county officers, including the judiciary;
enactment of law to permit the
formation of stumpage districts.
BY the exercising of the economics he
suggested, Mr.. Martin declared that i,
/! saving of at least 100000 year car
be effected in the expenses of tha staie.
The Progressive leader vigorously at
tackled the land boards Of the last three
administrations for their Carey act
policies and declared that if the Pro
gressives get into power they will de-
clare forfeited the contracts on the de
funct projects and either get new con
tractors to complete them or do it as
state work He characterized the situa-
ton with regard to those projects as a
disgrace to the state, and declared that
a dozen or more state officials should
have been hanged for their dilly daily
ing tactics.
The national central committee of the
Republican party came in for some cri
ticism at Mr.. Martin s hands on account
of the action taken at its recent meet
ing. He declared that the committee IS
refusal to call a convention sealed THE
doom of the party and charged the
committee with breaking faith with the
people.
He also took shot at the Democrats
for the character of the income tax law
they had passed, and criticised them
for their tariff policies. Mr.. Martin
was enthusiastically received and fire.
quently interrupted by applause.
G. 0. Broxon, whom it is rumoRed
may become a candidate for the Pro-
gressive gubernatorial or congressional
nomination, made short talk in which
he referred to the action of the Republi-
can central committee, and without
mentioning Senator Borah s name drew
a picture of him lined up with the
Oregon Short Line and the rest of the
large corporations and the senators who
are commonly reputed to be friendly to
them.
Senator Luck of Boise county, re-
cent convert of the Progressive doc
trines, Colonel J. M. Ingersoll of Poca-
tello, James H. GIBSON, the state chair
man; and John J. Palwhead of Caldwell
D also made short talks. About 100, in
