The Long bridge fill is now being
leveled with scrapers and thin fill OF
gravel placed in the middle for road
way. Wise ones state that it will be
mud-hole the whole length in winter,
and that the fill should have been
rounded up very perceptibly in the
center. But then, it is much easier
to find fault than to accord praise,
and We must judge of results from the
outcome.

French and German trademarks stem

The Agnew Baldwin mill closed
down Tuesday owing to a slight diff
ference with the sawyers. The cause
OF the interruption was that change
was desired from one union scale to
another-from q per diem of 81, to ten
cents per thousand of the manufac.
tured product. The latter rate had
been paid, up to about four months

Hop.picking at Yakima will begin
