PRODUCE PRICES SLUMP SHARPLY AT BIG CENTERS

CHICAGO, Aug. 27-A drop of sf a hundred pounds on the average fo. hogs with lower prices for beef cattle at the stock yards today was ascribed to several reasons and partly to the general protest against the high cost of living. Market men said the tendency was for still lower hog prices, particularly after the fall marketing and they professed to see break in high living costs.
 The public has curtailed it's buy ina of pork and beef recently while live stock receipts are large.. The eastern market failed oact as an mereency outlet and the packers virtually withdrew their buyers from the pens today, leaving thou sands of hogs and cattle without buyers, and specculators were hard hit.-
 With lower retail prices on meats expected to result in a day or two from the lower live stock prices, other foodstuffs, including fruits and vegetables declined. In the com mission house district apples sIunped 25 cents bushel, oranges 50 cents box, sweet potatoes % cents a bushei, peaches 25 cents, ba- nanas 25 cents bunch and can taloupes 25 cents crate, tomatoes, green corn and watermelons also sold lower.
 Declines generally were attributed to abundancy as crops matured- The United States bureau of markets reported 2o4 carloads potatoes on track; apples, 42; watermeIons, 7a and cantaloupes 45.

Rin Ninht at Riverside

Summer Widowers' night proved such a huge success last Friday night at Riverside park that the management has decided to introduce another novel entertainment this coming Friday. This one will be known as the High Cost of Living night, and the dance will be one big prize dance. If you think this will not prove the most en- joyable evening you have spent in a long time we'll miss our guess, for the line up of entertainment will outclass anything of a similar nature ever of fered the public of the city. The dance will be conducted for some of the most unusual prizes among which might be mentioned Campbell Soups and O'Sul- livan Rubber heels, Van Camp Pork and Beans and Mennenis Talcum Pow der-Swift's Premium Hams and Whit temoress Shoe Dressing, Denofrio's Cactus Candy and Sanders Freckle Lo- tion. These are but a few of the win nings that will help reduce the H. C. of L. and the night should go over with real punch.
 As an added attraction the manage ment will present for the approval of the public one of the most clever danc- ing teams to visit the city in many months.
 As usual the big plunge will be all ready with it's abundance of heated water.

NJ COAST MAILS IN OR OUT HERE
 SINCE SUNDAY
Phoenix Faces Prospect Of. B ei II g Almost Entirely Isolated From the Rest Of the World By the Strike

With train service on the coast en- tirely tied up and seriously impaired throughout the southwest by strikes, Phoenix is facing the prospect of being altogether isolated from the rest of the United States. By yesterday the situ- adion had narrowed to a point where the only connecting link with the world was a meagre mail service to and from the east. Communication with the coast is altogetehr gone.
 The one thing that people rely upon to last when everything else is stopped, the operation of the United States mails. has been nearly put out of com mission by the so-called sympathetic" strikes of railroad men on the coast Since last Sunday the Phoenix post office has had no connections for mail to or from the coast, and the only com munieation Phoenix has with coast ci- ties is by telegraph and long distance telephone.
 May Have Motor Truck Service
 So far as communication with the east goes, Phoenix is almost as bad off. According to an announcement yester- day by J. A. Giffen, superintendent of mails at the local postoffiee, which mentioned that there had been no coast mails in or out since Sunday, eastern mail will be due to be dispatched and received one each "A hours. Mail from the east will be due at noon here each day, and will leave here for the east at p. m. This once day eastern mail service is all that links Phoenix with the outside, and at times this one link will depend on motor truck service to fill the gaps where trains are not running.
 In his announcement yesterday, MT. Giffen said that an effort was being made to secure motor truck service fof the mails between this city and some southern California point already con- nected with Los Angeles by truck. A motorized mail service is now in oper- ation between Los Angeles and Fl Cen tro, Blythe and Needles, and it is planned to connect with one of these points. If such a system is inaugurated, however, communication will be slow, i as it will take mail nearly three days to reach this city from the coast by truck.

PROTESTS AGAINST
 B|G OIL TANKS NEAR
 STATE FAIR GROUND

That the lives of thousands of visit ors at the state fair will be endangered if the Union Oil company is allowed to build 8 series of tanks for storage pur- poses near the buildings of the states institution northwest of the city, is the contention of Attorney General Wiley E. Jones, made yesterday in letter to the state fair commission.
 The Union Oil company has applied to the corporation commission, re- euesting that they be allowed to build a spur track across land in the vicinity of the fair grounds which belong to the state The question as to authority for allowing the spur to cross the land was put up to Jones.
 Tn his letter yesterday, the attorney general maintains that not only will buildings be endangered. but that the lives of those attending the fair will be in jeopardy He advises the state fair commission to take steps at once to place legal barriers in the way of the building of the tanks.
 The proposed storage tanks will have capacity of 200, 900 gallons
 Mr. Jones' fear that the contents of the tanks may become ignited and the tanks explode is based on a fire at the Union Oil company's property some months ago when a huge tank exploded, and caused considerable damage The company claims, however, they are taking adequate precautions. and that a fire of the nature of the last one will not again occur.

ICE DOX IN ALLEY HAD
 OFFICIAL SANCTION

Nick Corronas, Greek restaurant proprietor, appeared defore Judge Thomas yesterday afternoon in police court, charged with obstructing the all ley in the rear of Washington street, between Central avenue and First street, by allowing an ice box to remain therein.
 Several neighbors of the offending ice box were in court to explain how badly it obstructed traffic but all procedure in the case was stopped when Corronas explained he had permission of the city manager to place 1t there, and backed up his statement with corroborativs evidence.
 Judge Thomas stated that he could do nothing with the alleged offender as long as he had permission from the city manager, but that it would be taken up with him as soon as he re- turned. In the meantime, Corronas promised to keep nothing but ice in the box and not offend the nostrils of his neighbors, which seemed to be the real reason for the complaint.

HUGE SAVING |S
 MADE BY STATE IN
 BUYING GENIE M
Twenty Thousand Barrels Have Been Purchased From Fl Paso Concern Contract Let For Mesa Tempe Road

After having received uniform bids for consignment of 10000 barrels of cement from three of the large pro ducers in the southwest, State Engi- neer Maddock stated yesterday he had let the contract to the Southwestern Cement company of Fl Paso at s2.94 3 a barrel. This price is but nine per cent more than the cost of cement be- fore the war. The uniform bid made by the companies and which was re- jected by the state engineer was $40. The pre-war price for cement was $271
 MT. Maddock stated yesterday that he is particularly elated over securing price of $2.941-3 as it is the first time the companies have ever been known to deviate from their uniform bid The reduction which will save the state thousands of dollars is es. pecially necessary at this time as, ac cording to MT. Maddock, most road building material is much higher now than when the roads were projected Bitulithic asphalt for instance, is now S30.50 a ton as against s16.50 before the war.
 Award Mesa Tempe Contract The contract for the construction Of the Mesa Tempe road (section 9 was signed yesterday by McEllreth and Shumway. contractors. whose bid na.s been accepted.
 1 Section one of this road which runs through Tempe, will be built of bitu- lithic. This form of construction will be made at the request of the people of Tempe who desire uniform pave ments in the town. The additional cost will be borne by the town and will not in any way burden the state with additional expense. The government bureau of post roads considers six-inch concrete equal to 7-inch bitulithic and will pay only one-half of the con 1 struction cost for the cheaper road which was concrete in this case.
