The SPOKANE MARKET.

The growing belief that the Euro
pean war will be long one has had
stimulating effect on the general bust
ness outlook during the past week or
two. Coupled with this the fact that
no disturbing factors have been in evil
dence, any early restriction in the
prosperity that the country has been
enjoying seems to be out of the ques-
ton. There is no doubt that there is
now a much wider domestic consum-
ing demand than at any time since the
war began. This naturally arises from
the fact that labor is now we'll en-
ployed in practically all sections of the
country at good wages. 1t is not very
difficult to figure out that when peo-
pie have money and are willing to
spend it, times should be good.
Provisions.
Butter-There has been no further
changes as to price in the local butter
market since those noted last week.
The supply has been adequate for the
demands, which have been rather mod
crate for several weeks, and the mar
ket is steady. The New York market
records an advance under light re-
ceipts, with creamery extras at SAC.
Good demands with an advance in
price are noted at Chicago, with the
price around 32c.
Eggs-The break in weather condi-
tions has caused a reaction in the egg
market and quotations are off to 5000
to the producers for local fresh and
$1,000 wholesale. Storage stocks have
also been marked down at $500.
Fresh Meats-The market is holding
steady at same figures as have pre-
vailed for the past week or two and
gives no indication of a change for the
present at least.
Poultry-No changes are noted in
poultry prices this week, and dealers
say the present figures are all the
market will stand and that if there is
any change it will be a reduction. Sup
plies are fairly good with demand
about normal.
Lard and Cured Meats-No change
has been recorded in hog products
as to prices during the week, but job
bers indicate that the market is strong
and inclined to advance. Lard still
holds firm at present levels.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Apples-The price situation remains
unchanged and this fruit is in very
fair demand. At Chicago the barreled
apple market presents no new features
and trade was quiet at about the same
prices. Arrivals were liberal.
Other Fruits-Oranges are in plenti.
full supply with the quality of the fruit
excellent. Prices remain at about the
same level, though they are inclined
to be little easier. Bananas are in
good demand and hold firm at sc per
pound as for some time.
Potatoes-Spuds still hold at the ad-
vanced figures that have prevailed for
some time, but indications are that
there will soon be a slump in the mar
ket if the present weather conditions
continue. A quiet but fairly steady
spud market ruled in New York. A
good deal of the stock coming was
poor and frozen and had to be reject
ed. Chicago reports market quiet with
no special features.
Other Vegetables-Celery is a little
firmer at $1@1.25 per dozen, as is also
cabbage at $3.50 per cwt. In root veg
etables carrots are easier at 90c while
parsnips are firmer at S1.25. Spinach
and horseradish are now to be had il
jobbing way, the former at 9Oc pei

Railroads Discriminate.

The whole decision shows the COM
missions conviction that the prevail
ing higher rail freight rate from AS
toria to the interior has held back the
growth and development of that port
and has kept the larger steamships
from stopping there to the particular
advantage of the Puget sound ports.

ments are being made to Astoria's
harbor and that conditions have much
changed for the better in the five
years.
Reciting the allegations of the COM
plant that the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific, owning the Spokane,
Portland and Seattle and being re-
sponsible for granting terminal rates
to Seattle and Tacoma, unduly prefer
those points and unjustly discriminate

extend terminal rates to Astoria, the
decision presents a long set of com,

Port-Great improvements Past

Washington. The interstate com
MERGE commission decided Saturday
that the present rate adjustment of
the Spokane, Portland G. Seattle and
other railways in reaching Seattle, Ia
coma and Astoria unduly discrimin-
ates against Astoria in favor of those
cities on Puget sound. The commits
sion also required carriers to put AS
toria on an equal basis as to rates to
Spokane and other points between the
Cascade and Rocky mountains as are
Seattle, Tacoma and Portland.
Harlan Wrote Decision.
In the decision Commissioner Harlan
who wrote it, suggests that now that
Astoria has been granted equality with
Seattle, Tacoma and Portland in rates
to the Inland Empire Portland probab-
ly will come forward with a demand
based on its advantage of more than
100 miles in the distance to Inland EN-
pire points over Astoria, for a lower
rate than is just granted to Astoria If
this were allowed it would give Port
land that much advantage over the
Puget sound ports.
1T is obvious, however" writes the
commissioner, that there is some
thing of a natural relationship in the
rates of Seattle, Tacoma, Astoria and
Portland than can not be ignored and
reduction in the Portland rate to and
from the Inland Empire does not nee
essarily follow as an inevitable con-
sequence of a reduction in the Astoria
rate to the basis of the Seattle and
Tacoma rates"

RABICH WOOD BLOCK CASE TO
BE Up IN CIRCUIT COURT
If Jury Visits Cape's River Front,
Friends Say Trial is Ended in
Rabich's Favor.

If the jury before which Herman
RabiCh's tax suit will be tried today,
were brought to the Cape's river front,
his friends declared yesterday, the
case would be won without argument.
The tax suit is one brought by the
Kettle River Quarries Company,
which put down the wood block pave
ment in the Cape. Rabich "a former
member of the General Assembly, is
opposing the payment of special tax
bill assessed against him for the paw
ing done about five years ago on West
Broadway.
The suit is scheduled to be tried in
the Circuit Court at Jackson today
and several city officials as we'll as 9TH
er men interested in the case will go
to Jackson for the trial.
Mr.. Rabich's opposition to the pay
ment of the tax bill, it is believed may
result in setting a precedent for others
who oppose the payment of the bills.

Water.

Richard Spalding, the son of farm
er on the Dirt Road, and Raymond
Shannon, who works on the Spalding
farm, had a narrow escape from
drowning Sunday morning, in crossing
LeCroix creek, about one mile and a
half from this city.
They were enroute to this city with
ten-gallon can Of cream, when the
horse they were driving stepped into a
hole, which the water had washed at
the southern approach to the bridge.
The animal plunged into the water
and was almost submerged. Young
Spalding climbed over the dashboard
of the vehicle, unlocked the animal
and then leaped onto the horse and
rode it to the bank. Shannon remain
ed in the buggy until Spalding reach
ed the land in safety. He then

The weight of his body prevented
the buggy from riding the current,
but as soon as he left it, the vehicle
began to float and upset, falling over
an embankment into the channel of the
stream. 1t lodged in some fallen trees,
however, and was carried only a short
distance.
The can of cream was hurled from
the rig and it was carried into the wa
ter. 1t drifted down the current for
almost one hundred yards, when it
strucl barbed wire fence and lodged
Only one end of the can became fasten-
cd. and the surging water churned the
cream until the water receded.
When Spalding and Shannon re-
turned to the scene yesterday morning
to recover the buggy, they discovered
the can of cream lodged in the wire
fence. The lid of the utensil had re-
manned intact, in spite of its battle
with the water. Spalding removed
the top, and to his surprise, he found
that the cream had been churned to
butter. As no water had entered the
can, it was taken back home, and after
being seasoned, was served on the
table last night.
The scene where the accident oc-
CURED is Just one half mile south of
the Giboney home, on the Bloomfield
road. The Dirt Road begins Just west
of the Giboney residence and runs
south to the Rock Levee.

Part Of Sunday Dinner at
Nav Cooper's Disap-
peared on Eve Of Death
Oay-Boarders Use Hunt
ing Strategy and Regain
Drum Sticks and White
Meat.

An acrobatic turkey gobbler, yester-
day created genuine CONSERVATION in
the kitchen and dining room at NAV"
Cooper's boarding house, on ThemiS
street.
The gobbler's stunt was nothing
more than clever attempt to save his
own life, but the bird succeeded so
we'll, he spread abroad the impression
that he had been plucked from his
coop by a hen-coop inspector"
Despite the fact that NAV" Cooper
is in Texas, it was decided at the
boarding house that the "boys" would
dine we'll Sunday. Consequently, Ce-
leste Mccoy, who is chief cook, wait
ress, cashier, and dish and bottle
washer combined, ordered three tur-
keys sent to the Cooper backyard in
anticipation of the Sunday dinner.
They arrived Thursday and over
night, Celeste shoo-ed the birds into
the coal-shed and announced that the
slaughter would be held on the fol-
lowing day.
Yesterday she took her ak in hand
and remarked, "Ah'm used to small
all bird, but Mr.. Turkey, your neck is
goin' off," she entered the she'd
But two of the birds were present
and when Celeste excitedly ran to the
dining room to announce the loss Of
the promised white meat and pair Of
drum sticks, there was parade to the
door of the coal shed as Judge Schae-
fer, A. r. Zoelsman, Ben Vineyard and
Scrappy Ruehmann wanted to see for
themselves that the fowl was gone.
"There'll be a hot time in the old
town some place in this town tonight,
all right" chirped the Judge as he in
spected the friendly appearance of the
two remaining birds.
q wonder who will get the second
joint" remarked Mr.. Zoelsman.
You'll have to come early now,
Ben, to get some of the breast of these
birds" Scrappy admonished, as he
eyed the remaining victims.
Let's kill iem right now and see
this stuff locked up safe" Vineyard
suggested. p.
The action was suited to the word
and the fowl died honorably.
The Judge looked up as he finished
hacking off the last gobbler's gobble
and saw something at the corner Of
the shed roof that looked strangely ia
miiar to targets he had fired upon
when turkey hunting up near Apple
ton.
The Judge remembered that tur-
key gobbler just can't help himself
from gobbling if he hears the call of
distress from lady-turkey. That
was part Of the Judges hunting par
lance, so he threw back his head and
uttered deep, me!odious although
gutteral sound.
Mr.. Zoelsman and Mr.. Vineyard were
astonishid when a third gobbler's
voice Dis heard from the room of the
shed and they saw the missing tur-
keys head stuck from an opening be-
tween the boards.
Scrappy and Celeste found the bird
blended into the adjacent coal dust in
one corner of the roof on the inside
and had stuck his head outside where
the Judge had spied it, because the
gobbler could not resist seeing the de-
mise of his companions.
