Councilman Hawley replied that The Re-
publicans had refused to give reason for
dischareing Charles II. Pells as superin-

to give any reason for not granting Tor

NAILS AND WIRE FALLING.
LOCAL JOBBERs ADVISED OF A CUT
IN PRICE OF ONE DOLLAR.
No Stocking Up Is BEING Done, How
ever other Iron Products Not
Affected, Nor Is IL Believed They
Will Be-Competition One Cause.

One article IN the list OF building ina
terfal has fallen In price. A few days ago
local jobbing houses received notice CT a
cut IN the price of nails and barb wire
frtm the Eastern manufacturers. Tie re-
AUCTION from the retail price is 81 kcg on
nails and 81 g hundred on barb wire which
leaves these articles selling TO the RETAIL
trade at 1910 a keg for nails, Sl5o a
hundred for galvanized barb wire and si.15
! hundred for painted barb wire. The
cause for this reduction IL an internal dis
frrbance in the trust and an effort TO re-
huce the stock OF that corporation 50 that
n NAV he more readily manipulated. How
long the low price viii prevail is not Known
but even at the reduction there is no
movement among local hardware iobbing
houses to stock up on either OF the affect.
I'd articles Other iron and steel commodi-
tle@ have not been molested by the war nor
does the opinion prevail that they will be.
The cut. II Is said, will have no other
bearing on the market
Eyes. there In a cut in nails and barb
wire" said A. s. Burweli, OF the Seattle
Hardware Company. when seen yesterday.
I'VE received notice of II a week ago. How
long II will last we do not know Our
Eastern representatives have advised us
10 stock up. but we are not doing so. All
iobbers are living from hand to mouth
on these articles not knowing what will
he done. The present price Is sufficiently
high for the market. There Is nc special
inducement to stock up at these prices
and no reason why they should be in
creased.
THE general iron and steel market is
strong and If as staple as ever with the
exception of these two articles Railroad
Iron Is firm and the mills have already
sold their output for two to four months
ahead.
The reduction Is due TO strife in The
nail and wire trust. There IL some out
side competition and this adds TO The
causes leading up to the cutting of prices"

TWO BRIDGES ARE BURNED.
GREAT NORTHERN AND NORTHERN
PACIFIC SUFFER FROM FIRES.
No Overland Trains Arrive During
the Dny-Both Lines Expect to
Reach Here Today-Trafic VIII He
Resumed over New Bridges Today

Summer fires have begun already to
work havoc on transcontInental lines. No
overland trains from the East on either
the Great Northern or Northern Pacific
arrived yesterday, and none are expected
before today The Northern Paciflts two
overland trains due at 2:5e p. m. and sis
p. m. are held west OF the Yakima river
by the burning of the two-span bridge
at North Yakima. Fire was discovered
in the west span by a section gang early
yesterday morning, but had gained too
much Roadway to be extinguished. II
was totally destroyed just before the over
land local arrived. The Great Northern
came to the roads assistance and offered
right of way over its tracks from Spokane
to Seattle. Just as the train was about
to start for Spokane to take this route a
message was received that the Great
Northern bridge at Old Mission, Just east
of Leavenworth. was in flames This
bridge was also destroyed. laying out the
Great Northern overland due to arrive
here at O'Clock last night.
The Northern Pacific was then offered
right OF way over the Oregon Railroad &
Navigation tracks from Pasco to Port
land, and started for Seattle by that
route about noon. AT Portland the local
overland VII be abandoned and the North
Coast limited will bring its passengers
here AT midnight II was scheduled to
dTTlNe IN Sc1ttlc dpDlt y o CiOCk TINS morn
ing The Great Northern will probably
get In about the same time.
Both fires, according to local advices,
are believed to have been caused by sparks
from lot omotives Bridge gangs were Dis
patched by both roads from Spokane but
: the destruction was complete that It
was impossible 10 erect temporary struc-
ture at either point that would carry the
trains over. BY s o'clock last night it was
thought, however. that new bridges would
be In place. with sufficient strength TO
permit a resumption of traffic. Trains
today are expested to arrive on time.
The Northern Pacific train due from
Portland at $40 last night was an hour
late, caused by waiting for the Southern
connection at starting point. The South
ern Pacific from San Francisco was delay
ed an hour or more. said to be due TO the
burning OF depot close TO the track just
south of the Oregon boundary

A search revealed his hat and vest on the
ground near the lake, just where a neigh

drifted there. In the vest pocket was found
