OREGON SCHOOL GIRLS ARE
INTERESTED IN HoUSEWoRK

That many Of the school girls of
Oregon are interested in housework is
indicated by the large number that are
preparing exhibits in sewing and cook
ing for their fairs that viii be held
next fall. A report of the Industrial
Club work has just been filed with
J.. A. Churchill, state superintendent
of public instruction, by Prof. F. L.
Griffin of the Oregon Agricultural Col,
lege. The report shows that 2233 Ore
gon pupils are working to become pro.
ticient in sewing, and 1406 in cooking.
with the hope of winning prizes at
their county exhibits, or at the State
Fair. There are already 9262 boys and
girls working in the different indus
trial projects, as follows: Canning 4s0:
cooking 1906; corn 7l2; gardening
1924; dairying II; manual arts 6ss;
potatoes 5Sl; pigs Isl; poultry $50;
sewing 2233.
New clubs are being organized daily
and Superintendent Churchill is con.
fident that over $4,000 children will be
engaged in this industrial work before
he schools close.

LOCAL MARKETS.

At Echo Friday 100 tons of wool
were sold at private sale and prices
were not made public. 1t is known
though that they are considerably
above those of last year. The eastern
wool trade takes favorable view Of
the situation in spite O. the scarcity
of business in spring clips. The for
eign situation is also favorable to tine
maintenance of present prices. One Of
the events of the week is the forma-
ton OF the Merchants s Produce ex-
change. 1t is composed of 26 of the
leading merchants of Willamette val
ley towns and will handle poultry
dressed meats, eggs, and all kinds of
country produce. This invasion @ the
Portland field has aroused the enmity
of many of the commission men there,
and there will probably be merry
war between them.
Some bluestem is changing hands,
but other varieties of wheat are held
firmly by growers. No new business
is reported in hop contracts, but lot
of SO bales, the Reuter- crop, was
bought by Klaber, Wolf & Meter at
Forest Grove Friday. The price was
Is cents. Eggs are 10 cents, held there
by cold storage demand, though the
incubators are stopping the flow into
the cities to certain degree. 1t is
probable the price will not be lower
this year.

withdraw the substitute measure to
which they had committed themselves
at a meeting OF the chapters execu-

omitted.
