More Prizes For
Oregon to Win

While Oregon has won the grand
prize and a score of Others on the
horticultural display in the Palace of
Horticulture, it is well to remember
that there are other great horticul-
tural prizes to win, prizes that Ore
gon can not afford to lose. However,
these can not be captured unless
growers will cooperate heartily with
the officials at this end of the line
throughout the summer and autumn.
For instance, each Saturday awards
are made on fresh fruit, and at the
end of the season the grand prize will
be awarded. In this contest Oregon
is more or less handicapped, of
course, on account of the distance,
but experts here say that Oregon act
ually has the fruit and it is purely a
matter of getting that fruit here in
the most perfect condition. Oregon
growers are urged to make shipments
of such fruit as they know to be very
fine, but they are also urged to pack
it very carefully. The cherries, straw
berries and other small fruits should
be more carefully sorted and packed
a little more scientifically. The eX-
pert who packs all the California
fruit says Oregon cherries are packed
too loosely and that the double pack
should be used, then not stem or a
hole would show. All fresh fruit
should reach the Palace of Horticul-
ture not later than Friday afternoon.
Shipments of materials for the main
tenance OF the fine exhibits in the
Oregon building should also be of the
best. The Oregon buildings exhibit
booths create a decidedly favorable
opinion on the visitors and should be
in their present splendid
condition.

Purpose of Milk Test Law.

The purpose of the law requiring
creameries and other purchasers Of
milk on the butter-fat basis for manu-
featuring purposes to have only
licensed testers in their employ is to
protect both the producers and the
manufacturers, say the o. A. c. au-
thorities. 1t is an effort to realize
the Right is right and wrongs no
man" idea, by securing for the pro-
ducer pay for the value of his prod
uct, and for the buyer value for his
payments. The requirement of the
use of standard glassware in testing
is for the same purpose.

Although no official reports have
been recently received from French
or British sources, severe fighting
seems to be under way again on the
Gallipoli front. The Turks, accord
ing to their reports, have made sew
eral successful attacks in the region
of Anafarta. Athens and Rome con-
tinue to send out reports that the
defensive power of the Turks is weak
ening, but no official news has been
received in confirmation.
Dispatches from Greece express
strong belief that Turkey and Bulga-
ria have definitely reached an agree
ment, but in the Near East, it is not
believed this will lead to actual par
ticipation in the war by Bulgaria on
the side of the central powers. Nor is

German forces expected against Ser
bia.
Artillery combats continue on the
western front. The German reply to

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.

Chicago, April 17.-WHEAT-Whea
showed strength today as a result of re-
ports of a broadening demand in Europe.
The smallness of the contract stock on
hand here made the September option adj
vance more rapidly than other deliveries.
On the upturn, however, there was rather
free selling by leading houses. Opening
prices, which ranged from 1kMXc off to 2
cents advance, with December at 961sc to
91Ac and May at 99c to 81 90, was followed
by something of a reaction and then a
fresh rally.
The close was weak, ranging from Ia
Use net lower to 1c advance, with Deem
Der at 95&s @951ac and May at 9S1sc.
CORN-Corn hardened with wheat. At
first thought the market gave evidence
that the ideal weather was not being alto
gether lost sight of. After opening I'M
changed to nc lower, prices scored mod
crate gains all around.
The close was steady at &c to 1ac under
last night
OATS-Oats reflected the strength of
other cereals. Trade was light.
PROVISIONS-Suppo was lacking for
provisions. declines, however, were not of
a radical sort.

virtually admitted by Senator L. M.
Mahin of BotlIins counsel. Senator
Mahin stated that he was unable to
make an authoritative statement in
advance of the confer ence, but be-
Iieved that the fight would be made

One of the issues to be raised by
Botkin in his case in the courts con-
Germs the validity of the law under
which the Democratic warden was re-
moved 1t is commended that this law
was repealed, at least by inference,
through the passage of the Brewster
custer act of 1911. A decision of the
manded before Botkin consents to an
evacuation of the penitentiary man
agement.
Ready for Protest.
Relieving that Botkin's successor
would not be named at once, at least
two members of the investigating
committee had planned to call upon
the governor today and protest against
the appointment of Coddlng. Although
attorneys for Governor Capper made
desperate fight to keep from the rec
ords any mention of the Codding ad-
ministration it's com par1son with
the Rotkin work, the testimony show
ed plainly that Botkin had followed
the general policies adopted by ms
predecessor. In several places in its
report, the commission makes strong
mention of the fact that the practices
of both Botkin and Codding were
wrong-but Codding was not on trial
and the shaft was directed at

during the busy first hour, some high
priced specialties reacting, while less prom
inent stocks like Pressed Steel Car, Ameri-
can Car, Republic Steel, the Locomotives
and Great Northern Ore were higher by IL
to 8 points. Automobile shares, mainly
Maxwells and Goodrich, gathered fresh
impetus from liberal disbursements of the
General oMtors company. Later some sea-
soned industrials and equipment, includ-
ing General Electric, advanced materially
and United States Steel rose to 751a. Beth
lehem Stel and Crucible Steel were lower.
Pressure against the railways lifted
at midday, when trading dwindled.
Bonds were firm.
Special causes were reflected in today's

directors yesterday declared a fifty per
cent dividend opened with gain of IL
points at $50, gradually ascending to POI,
20 points above all previous records.
