Three hundred of the retail meat
dealers of Philadelphia have united
in a demand to the beef trust for
fair prices for meat. Tire large ship
ping houses in the West give short
weight, make no allowance for
shrinkage in transit and steadily in
crease the price. On account Of the
high price demanded consumers
have almost ceased to buy. The same
situation prevails in many other
places. Should the dealers and the
people all unite it might have some
effect. Certain it is that the average
family cannot afford to buy at pres
ent prices. There is no natural rea-
son for the high prices; the trust
advanced prices simply because it
could do so.

NOT MEN ENOUGH
To MAN OREGON
BattIeship Returns to Duty Short
of Her Regular Crew.
UNABLE TO SAIL YESTERDAY
SMOKE WAS so THICK THAT IT
WAS EXTRA HAZARDOUS.

NEATTLE, Wash, Sept. 1S.-The bat
tleship Oregon did not put 10 sea
today The thick haze that spread
over the sound made il inadvisable TO
risk the costly warship. and especially
in view of the fact that the ships com
passes are not adjusted and there is no
pressing need for the boat. The officers
OF the Oregon will require two hours OF
clear weather TO complete the work of
adjusting the vessels eompasses, and
she will continue to lie at the Puget
sound navy yard until the atmosphere
is clarified.
When the Oregon puts 10 sea il win
be with a short crew, though officers of
the boat believe she will be furnished
with men when she reaches San Fran
cisco. 1t is believed a number Of men
will be sent to the coast from eastern
points, but it may be the Oregon. which
Is about 200 short OF her regular crew,

fun force.
The cruiser Boston is lying at the
navy yard dock under orders TO pro-
coed TO San Francisco at once, but
still lacking a number OF repairs that
must be made by the engine room force
and without a crew to man her. The
Boston's engine room crew and as
many as could be taken were sent
aboard the Oregon. which was ordered
out several days ago but lacked men.
The cruiser Philadelphia had previous
ly transferred all her men TO the Bos-

mission, and now both vessels are
short.

From out the n1ist-clad meadows, along

The night express train whistles with eye
A trail of smoke behind her enclouds the

That gilds the signing poplars and

Await tonight a comrade who comes,

Thirty-five or forty derricks have been
razed to the ground in the Keith Ward
tract Across The avenue the mammoth
$500 barrel tank of the Higgins people
is on fire, but the oil is being drawn
from the bottom and packed away,
which will eventually starve out the

ablaze, sending flames eighty feet into
the air. The Wood we'll is on fire.
Several smaller tanks are burning.
Some place the loss at $3.50, 900. while
others think ii will be greater. The
actual destruction of machinery will be
enormous. The Higgins Oil & Fuel
company are possibly the heaviest
