How the Combine Works


The people and newspapers of the
Sound country who are expressing sat
isfaction at the prospect one Eastern
combine taking in all the canneries
and fish traps of the Sound may be in
terested in knowing how combines
work in other sections.
One practical lesson is the Everett
nail works, which will soon be shut
down by the steel trust. Another is
in the fishing line. The Columbia
River Packers Association, which
controls ten canneries on the lower
Columbia river, will shut down five of
them, doing the business with the
other five.
No doubt the same results will OBJ
tain on the Sound if the combine sue
ceeds in its design Of securing control,
and a large number of canneries
which would be run under indepen-
dent management, with competition
for fish to keep up prices for the fish
ermen, will be closed down.
Interesting situation, isn't it, in
spite of the "million and half of new
money invested?"-Tacoma Ledger.

Practically everyone wants some
sort of cereal for breakfast, but the
trouble of cooking the regular oat-
meal is something, and in the ma ior-
ity of cases it is sticky, pasty and too
much like raw starch.
GraPe-Nuts offer the ideal breakfast
food, for they require no cooking
whatever (being thoroughly cooked at
the factory and are therefore ready
for instant service The food is cook
ed by experts and the family does not
have to depend on the cooks ability

as the strongest stomach. Sold by

COW BAY SAND IN DEMAND.
Port Washington Gradually Being Turned
Into BnildinEs in New York.

Con" Douglass was driving New York
friend out to Sands Point. Long island. for n
days fishing of the lighthouse Of which he is
the keeper In passing through the village Of
Port Washington the friend observed several
heavily built overhead runways which ex-
tended across the main road from the shore Of
Cow Bay over the roofs OF houses to some dis
tant hills.
What does that mean. Con ?" asked the
friend. pointing to the structures. Are you
building an elevated railroad up here ?"
NO" replied Douglass. Those are not
elevated railroads. but they show just how
building operations must be booming in New
York"
Il don't catch on" said the friend
I'm explain. then. Those structures are
sand runs. and those hills back there are regu-
lar Klondikes for the owners. A good many
years ago some one made the discovery that no
better sand for building purposes could be
found than the sand in the hills about Cow
Bay. few sloop loads was taken TO New
York and gave so much satisfaction that build
ors and contractors demanded more OF it,
Well the business grew so fast that the sloops
were found to be too slow and tugboat and a
scow were chartered. 1t was hard work load
ing the scow. so they built pier over there by
Plumb Beach and a runway from the pier to
scows and tugboats. the business grew so fast.
until a regular sand line was established be-
tween Cow Bay and New York. which has been
in operation now some years.
THAT runway that you Off there by Plumb
Beach Is on the outskirts OF Port Washington.
and there is n little settlement there now OF
men who work digging the sand. They arc
mostly Italians. and live in rough wooden
houses and have a little Italy all to themselves.
Tney hav" already cut away couple OF hills
and changed the face of the scenery considera-
bly,: but there is money in 1t. and 80 the seen
cry has togo; 1t amt hurt much. anyway"
IS is S 2vsy sa time h the F demand for
Bay sand kept on, growing. and Is still grow
ing. SO other people went into the business. 1t

was built and then another, and ! hear that
they are going to put up another. When there
is such tremendous demand for sand there
must Ice tremendous lot OF new building going
on. and those new runwayS are better indtca-
tons Of the prosPerity OF New York than any
drcds and hundreds OF men are employed up
here digging sand and every shovelful goes

regular depots and employ humid reds OF other
men to unload the scows and load up the carts
