ARE SOLD UNDER FIVE CENTS
Oycrsupply in Retailers Hands Said to
Be the Cause Of the Present
Reduction.

Walla Walla. July 15.-At a meeting
Of the directors Of the state penitentiary
today the price Of grain bags was re-
duced to 49, cents each. This is to COM
pete with the reduction made by sack
merchants who have been gradually
cutting under the penitentiary-made
sacks. Directors Nye and McInroe said
that, although Calcutta sacks were not
as good quality as made by the peniten-
tiary, dealers could not afford to sell at
the price they quote. and that eff the
state was undersold it would cause the
same result as in California, that is,
shutting down the penitentiary jute
mill. thereby eventually raising the
price of the bags very materially. It is
said here that grain-bag merchants
had greatly overestimated the wheat
yield and they are burdened with an
oversupply Of sacks. The output of the
penitentiary is about 100000 sacks an
nually.
The price quoted is the lowest figure
sacks have reached for years. In 1894,
with wheat at 20 cents, sacks cost twice
as much as they do now. Should the
grain-bag merchants still further re-
duce their price, the penitentiary will
IN all probability meet the cut.

Lewiston, Idaho, July 15.-The annual

cipally between the Occur d'Alenes and

Yakt Discoveries Considered the Great.
est Of Recent Years.
Kalispell, July 16.-Commissioner E. L.
Preston of Troy has just purchased the
old ferry cable and hangers formerly
used on the ferry across the Flathead
at Ka)ispell, and is now constructing a
ferry at Troy, for the Kootenai river, to
accommodate the rush into the new gold
district up the Yakh. The discovery of
free milling gold quartz on the Yakh in
the western part of Flathead county has
created great excitement and hundreds of
prospectOrS are rushing into the newly
discovered fields and a great number of
locations have been made. 1t is thought
that the source of the Yakh placers has
been opened in these lodges. number
of reliable mining men who have visited
the new district say that immense lodges
of gold have been discovered, and say that
some fortunes are surely to be made
there. The new district is best reached
from Troy. The Yakh flows in a south
westerly course and empties into the
Kootenai just west Of Troy, but several
miles east of the Idaho line. The whole
of Yakh river lies in Flathead county.
Montana, and the news has already crea-
ted considerable excitement here.

Channel Thirty Feet Deep at
Low Water.
THE WORK OF A SINGLE JETTY
Re port or the Engineer in Charge Shows
Navigable River for the
Largest Ocean Vessels.

Washington, July 16.-Major J. c..
Post, in charge of the river and harbor
improvements in Oregon, has made his
annual report to the chief of engineers.
Several important works are under his
direction, notably the mouth Of the
Columbia river. the canal and locks
at the Cascade and the deep water
channel Of the Columbia to Portland,
Or
At the mouth Of the Columbia the pro-
ject contemplated a navigable channel
30 feet deep at low water across the
bar. This work is being accomplished
by a single jetty. A channel 81 feet
deep, half a mile wide and 30 feet for
seven-eighths Of mile at low water
has been secured. The work remaining
to be done consists Of completing a
small portion Of the jetty and seeing
to the maintenance Of the channel. It
is expected that this work will be
completed in four months The total
amount appropriated for this work has
been $2,025,680, which will be sufficient
to complete it.
Major Post says the commerce Of the
port of Portland is constantly increas-
Ing and that vessels are becoming larg-
er and OF deeper draught and that the
completion Of the project is required at
an early date, especially since the depth
at the bar Of the Columbia has been
obtained.

BAD SON OF MIsER HENRY ON TRIAL

Brooklyn Authorities Will Have Some

Brooklyn, N. Y, July 15.-The case
against William Henry, the bad son
Of Miser Henry, who was killed last
month, and for whose murder the police
are holding Henry, came up today for
preliminary hearing. The prisoner
pleaded not guilty, but the police claim
to have a strong case against him. The
coroner's jury acquitted him, and there
is considerable doubt in the public
mind regarding the ability of the pros
ecution to fasten the guilt upon the
accused. The murdered man had an

San Francisco. July 15.-The Chinese

regarding the certainty Of the committee
