Attempt to Probate
Estate Falls Flat

Dallas, Or, Jan. 3.--The estate
of Tressa M. Marx, deceased, was
petitioned for probate in May.
1921, in Polk county by III. T.
Burns, stating in the petition that
there were two heirs at law. Will
liam Marx, residing in Clackamas
county, and Ralph Marx at the
time residing in Maryland. Both
were over the age of twenty-one,
and that the said heirs had re-
quested him to petition for admin
istration. Mr.. Burns at the time
was living on the property owned
by the decedent, consisting of
about 20 acres. The letters of ad-
ministration were issued and the
estate was about to be disposed Of
as Mr.. Burns had petitioned the
court to sell the property in ques
tion. The heirs having been
served by citation to appear and
show cause why the property
should not be sold appeared on the
scene through their attorney, Mr..
Butler of Oregon City, yesterday
and objected to any further pro-
ceeding. The deceased having died
in Clackamas county the estate
should be probated in that coun-
ty, and the heirs now stated that
they gave Mr.. Burns no authority
to proceed to probate the estate
and asks the court to dismiss the
probation in Polk county.

What's New
The Market
BY Rex Stewart

Bakers flour slumped Is cents
on the barrel yesterday in the
western market following a drop
in wheat prices east. This reduc-
tion may be followed by decrease
in price to grocers, but it is hard
ly enough to expect much decline
to the consumer.
Farmers are consuming their
eggs in preference to selling them
at the low price Of 28 cents and
offerings have been rather slack
the last two days. If the 28 cent
buying price continues much long
er there ought to be a reduction
from the 35 cent retail quotation
for dealers have about cleaned up
the eggs they paid high prices for
before the slump came Tuesday.
The buying price of potatoes in
this section has been $1.50 a
hundredweight for sometime.
There has been a good supply up
to now with grocers turning down
recent offerings. There is no an
ticipation Of drop in price eth
er wholesale or retail.
