on the Market
BY REX STEWART

Leaf lettuce offered today fs OF

considerably cheaper than the
head lettuce from California and
should be considered by the house
wife in making her purchaser 1t
is quoted generally as two bunch
es for 15 cents while the head
lettuce is selling for Is cents a
head.
Sugar has gone up to $685. and
$6.40 sack. 1t is but a matter of
time until further increases will
be made.
The price Of asparagus makes
1t impossible for marketing here.
Should it be offered on the mar
ket at. this time the retail price
would perhaps be 80 cents to 81
a pound.
Eggs look weak. Some retailers
have already reduced their buying
price to Is cents while others are
thinking of reducing to 16. The
market is fairly well supplied at
this price. Producers who have
their regular patrons, however,
are getting a little above the mar
ket price.

Equalization of
Polk Assessments
Sought by Board

Dallas, Or, March S.-The
county equalization board was
called upon so many times last
fall to equalize assessments that
II was decided by the members of
the board which is comprised of
County Judge A. B. Robinson.
Fred j, Holman, county assessor,
and Floyd d. Moore, county clerk,
that it would be advisable to go
over the city property valuations
in Monmouth, Independence and
Dallas and endeavor to equalize
the assessments on the city prop
erty before the assessments were
made this year.
In accordance with this deeis-
ion the members of the board
have been in session for several
days attempting to straighten out
this matter. but all the members
are of the opinion that it involves
work that cannot be handled salts
factorily in one year, but 1t is
their aim to get nearer to the pro-
portion Of values this year by this
method than to leave the matter in
the hands of the field men.

broker, for whose murder Mrs.

trial here, addressed to Mrs,
Obenchain at a Chicago hotel and
dated June 7 last year, was offer
ed in evidence by the defense Tues

the telegram was in Kennedy's
handwriting. The text was as fol-
lows:
Serious here tonight. Wait un-
til you hear from me before leav-
ing for San Francisco.
(Signed) Duke"

tablishment that Kennedy had
been seeking her, instead Of she
pursuing him, was the purpose of
the defense, it was argued by at
torneys for Mrs. Obenchain in
support of testimony to which the
prosecution objected. Miss Louise
Wilson, owner of a beauty parlor
here, was the witness involved.
She testified that as confidante

between the defendant

which she declined to
help him bring about.
