EGGS FROM CHINA
They Hammer the Price Down
in q. 8.
"A es-Car Shipment Received
ON Pacific Coast.

There is considerable agitation on
the importation Of Chinese eggs to
the Los Angeles and San Francisco
markets and the dealers are in state
Of uneasiness.
1t is the general feeling among
these dealers that they will be
cautious in purchasing domestic eggs
for storing, and II the prices of eggs
are as high as they were last April,
there will be little buying by the west
ern dealers. The Canadian Pacific
steamship Empress of Asia arrived at
Vancouver recently with S,5OO,VVV
Chinese eggs (25 cars).
The consular report from Shanghai,
China, shows that there were $500
cases forwarded to the United States
in December. 1913. and 1,O44 cases
during the first half Of January OF
this year. The eggs cost between 3 4
and II Y cents a dozen in China To
this must be added the cost of ship
ping and it is estimated that these
eggs cannot be sold for less than Is
or 16 cents q dozen in the United
States.
According to information received
from one Los Angeles importer money
is being lost on China eggs which he
Is selling in this country for 18 cents
q dozen.
Seven firms in Los Angeles and
San Francisco have sent representa-
ives 10 emma 10 assemble eggs loE
shipment to the United States. The
majority of these representatives are
being sent to northern China and
southern Manchuria. The eggs from
these countries are Of q better quality.
being larger and put up in more san
itary conditions. Western dealers say
that from the present outlook. it
would appear that dealers would use
good judgment in not buying domestic
eggs at too high prices this year.
The market closed at Los Angeles
last week with eggs quoted at 20 cents
a dozen.
This is the first time that I have
ever known eggs to be lower in price
in Los Angeles and in cities on the
Pacific coast than they have in To-
peka, Chicago and other cities of the
middle west" said Ralph Baer, owner

MUST RESTORE TRAIN
Santa Fe Ordered to Put Barnard
Manchester Train Back in Service.


The public utilities commission has
issued a peremptory order to the Santa
Fe Railway company for the restora-
ton Of passenger train service be-
tween Barnard and Manchester, Kan
This service was discontinued recently
and complaint was at once made by
the patrons Of the Santa Fe along this
branch, with the result that the COM
mission has issued an order to the
Santa Fe to restore the service on or
before March %.
The utilities commission holds that
under the law. no railroad company
can discontinue any class of regular
service without the consent of the
commission. which in this case was
not obtained: hence the order to re-
store service at once. A similar con-
dition existed on the Rock Island be-
tween Phillipsburg and Goodland. In
that instance, however, the Rock Is
land after havin6 been advised of the
position taken by the commission,
filed an application for permission to
withdraw the train, on which appli-
cation a hearing was held q few days
ago. but no decision has been handed
down at this date.

e Washington, March 1.-THE Missouri
state rate cases came back again to-
day to the supreme court. When the
supreme court decided last June that

peal from that ruling.

TORNADO DAMAGE
Farmers North of Winfield Suf-
fer Heavy Loss From
Wind and Hail.
MANY BUILDINGS WRECKED
NO Lives Lost but Several Head of
Stock Were kiIIed-Fine
Orchards Ruined.

A. tornodo dealt heavy damage to
farmers five miles north of Winfield
the other day. 1t laid out a path of
destruction about three miles long
and 400 yards WIDE A large number
of barns, windmills, outbuildings and
two small farm houses were wrecked.
No lives were lost but several head of
stock were killed.
The tornado was preceded and fol-
lowed by large hailstones which add
ed to the damage. Many fine trees
and orchards were twisted off or up
rooted. 1t has been impossible to es-
innate the extent of the damage but
it will amount to thousands of dol
lars.
Many freaks of the wind are report
ed. A twenty-barrel water tank was
taken up and carried two miles and
set down unchanged, in a pasture,
while a SOW with a litter of ten pigs
that lay on a bed of straw within eight
feet of where the tank stood were un-
disturbed.
In the path of the tornado was a
