TONE OF THE MARKET

The wool market gets its present
firm tone from the fact that the pros
perity of the American people seems
unlimited and they are showing their
ability to purchase mor wooden tex
tiles than American mills can pro-
duce.
That domestic wool Is now much
cheaper to the American manufact-
Wer than any competing grades Of
foreign, is also an important factor,
imparting strength to the market.
4 still more favorable influence Is
the conviction that the supply, includ-
ing all wool owned by the mills, is
inadequate to keep the machinery
running at it spresent rate until the
next clip will be available in July.
thus necessitating heavy imports Of
foreign woods, all grades of which
have been showing an upward ten
dency.
The stimulating effect Of prospective
additional American buying in foreign
markets, which within a year have
sustained an average advance Of
more than twice as much as domestic
markets, removes all uneasiness about
the stability of values of domestic
wool. st So, n q
The situation now is much better
than it was one year ago, and then
foreign markets were below domestic,
while they are now above them.

IMPROVE VANCOUVER HARBoR
Root Urges a 15oFoot Channel From
City to Columbia.

WASHINGTON, D. c. Dec IA
Secretary Root has transmitted to
congress a recommendation of the
chief of engineers that the project for
improving the Columbia river. between
Vancouver and the mouth of the Will
lamette. be modified to provide for
dredging a channel $50 feet wide and
of medium draft to reach the wharves
of Vancouver. This work. it is esti-
mated. will cost 100000. and will re-
quire an annual expenditure of $4,000
for maintenance.
The report is based upon an eXami-
Langfitt early last summer. Major
Langfitt expressed the opinion that a
channel Is feet deep and $50 feet wide
would be ample for all needs of COM
MERGE for some time to come iAhd eS-
timated the cost of dredging such a
channel at $4,000, with $4,000 annu-
ally for maintenance. He said a per-
manent dyke TO aid in maintaining
this channel would cost $50 900 but,
in his opinion, the demands of pros
pective commerce would not at pres
ent Justify such an outlay. He thought
the present dyke should be kept in re-
pair. but no work. other than dredg-
ing should be undertaken. He esti-
mated the cost of a 20-fOOt channel to
be $4,000 and $4,000 annually for
maintenance.
Colonel Heuer, division engineer at
San Francisco. cOncurred in Major
Langfitt's views, but when the report
was submitted to the board of engi-
neers, after holding public hearings
at Vancouver, it concluded a 20-foot
channel was demanded by commerce,
and after materially reducing Major
Langfitts estimate. submitted views
in accordance with those of the chief
of engineers. as given heretofore. The
report will be considered by the river
and harbOr committee when it frames

CHEHALIS.--At The city council
meeting last wee,., r TX Donahoe.
mayor of Chohalis. and John Dobson,
of the Coffman- Dobson banking house,
made the city d proposition looking 20
a settlement of the Chehalis Water
company's suit against the city for
water rent. For some time past the
council has refused to pay the old COM
pany's bills, alleging that the COM
pany was not fulfilling its agreements
to supply Chehalis with a wholesome
water supply, and that the amount of
water in the reservoir was not up to
the proper volume. With the principal
and interest which the company al
legged was due it the citys indebted
ness would aggregate over $4,000.
a few weeks ago the council met in
executive session and ma jority
agreed that they would be willing to
allow the water company $4,000 il a
compromise of the claim could be had,
a new company would take the plant
and give the city definite assurance
of a better supply at reduced rental
for fire protection. Acting on this as
surance Mayor Donahue secured an
option on the plant from the owners
Morris & Withheld, of Portland, and
an outside concern was figuring on
taking the plant. The last day on
which the option would have expired
came, however. and the outside COM
pany failed to make good. Mr.. Dona-
hue saw Mr.. Dobson and they agreed
to take the option themselves. They
made the council the proposition Mon
day night that if they would vote the
$4,000 the deal could at once be closed

PLAN A RAID ON THE MALTA.
Secret Service Men Expected to Make
Many Arrests Within Few Days.

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 14.-Simul-
taneous raids upon Malta gangs in this
city, New York and in New Orleans
are planned by the United States Sc
cret service. For months the agents
have been working to unearth the
headquarters of the society. They now
have complete list of the leaders of
the murderous organization in this
ountry and enough evidence 70 Sc
cure their imprisonment in many
cases and capital punishment in others
The three main headquarters of the
Malta are declared to be in New York,
New Orleans and Philadelphia. New
the murders are planned and the or
ders for their execution issued Or
ders for the secret service movement
were received direct from Washington.
Chief Wilkie has been receiving re-
ports from his men, scattered about the
Italian colonies, but centered in New
York, New Orleans and this city, for
some months. The failure of local po-
lice departments to cope with the So
ciety and the certainty that it is fast
becoming a national menace, prompt
ed the government activity.
Members of the service have taken
the oath of the organization and have
learned it's innermOst secrets. The
same methods which brought about
the disntegration of the Molly Ma
CURES, the murderOus mine secret So
ciety in this state, have been pursued
against the Italians. All the threads
are in hand and the mine can be
sprung at any moment.
When the trap is TO be sprung is of
course a secret. The operatives are
bound to silence. 1t can be author
itatively stated despite this. that
wholesale arrests will be made in the
three cities named and Simultaneous
