NO MORE PORTLAND CEMENT.

A BIG COMBINE IS |N1|MA1ED
SUSPICION THAT DEALERS ARE

SHORT MARKET.
A Big COMBINE IS |NT|MATED

SEATTLE, Wash, May 3.-More
than a million dollars worth of paving
contracts in Seattle will be Indefinitely
held up. miles of streets left uncOm-
pleted perhaps for months, and local
contractors dealt a severe blow, II the
provisions of resolution introduced IN
the cityl council last night are put into
effect.
The resolution, which was introduced
by the street committee and referred to
the street committee, directs the board
of public works to withhold from ad-
vertising and contract any further pub
lie work recurring the use of Portland
cement, and to cease operations upon
all work now under contract requiring
the use of this cement except upon
public main thoroughfares which are
absolutely necessary.
Exorbitant prices placed on this ee-
ment, due TO Wnat the Tesolu'loii ii'i
mates is a combine among the dealers,
is declared by the measure as the rea-
son for the proposed step against the
use of Portland cement on the city's
nub,;c highways. In the last few
months cement has jumped from "
to "a per barrel The market is short
now.
The city engineers estimate that
ahout a million and half dollars
worth of public work requiring the use
of Portland cement is now penang.
Son,e of this will be carried through
but the greater part will be indehniteiS
s+onned if the proposed resolution goes
into effect.

HILL IS AFTER HARTMAN
Suit Commenced at Olympia Against
North Bank Road
ASKS CHARTER Be DECLARED FORFEITED
CLAIMED THAT THE COLUMBIA
VALLEY AND o. r. G. N. ARE
IN MERGER.
ASKS CHARTER Be DECLARED FORFEITED

OLYMPIA, Wash, May 3.-Suit to
put the Hartman road along the
north bank of the Columbia out of
business on the contention that it is
parallel with the o. R. & N. and vio-
lation of the Washington constitution,
prohibiting ownership Of parallel and
competing lines, has been brought by
the prosecuting attorney of Clark
county, who today called upon the
state attorney-general to assist him in
the prosecution.
The suit is in the nature of a quo
warranto proceeding to forfeit the
charter and franchises of the Column
bia Valley Railroad company. This is
the Hartman company organized years
ago, which at that time secured partial
rights of way along the north bank.
Lately this road has brought a
number of suits in Clark, Skamania
and other counties against the Portland
& Seattle road, the Hill line, claiming
the Hill line was encroaching on it's
right of way, and has managed to
block the Hill lines to great extent.
If the attempt to wipe out the COM
pany is successful the Hill road will
have no further trouble, as all the old
rights of way of the rival company
will be lost to the Hartman people.
The information alleges that the Co
lumbia Valley line and the o. r. & N,
are unlawfully combined in ownership
under control of officers of the Union
Pacific for the purpose Of preventing
competition; that it has located right
of way upon the only available route,
but has taken no steps toward con-
structing line, and that under the
state constitution it's charter and fran
chise should be forfeited.

WOES OF BLOCKADE RUNNER

land, left Vladivostok with arms and
ammunition worth over $4,5O0,O00 on

fore that port was reached, however,
it had surrendered to the Japanese.

he had yet time and stood out to the

Manures on Truck Gardens,

Truck gardeners can use to advan-
tage much more manure than can the
general farmer. For instance, it hard
ly pays the general farmer to buy nj
trogenous manures because he can
grow leguminous crops and turn under
the stubble. But in the, case of the
market gardener it is different. He
cannot do that. He must buy his nj
trogenous manure if he needs it, for
his land must bring him in hundreds
of dollars year per acre. The far
mer that raises on an acre of land a
crop that sells for twenty dollars and
under cannot afford to put very many
dollars into fertilizers. But the truck
gardener that grows two hundred dol.
lars worth of crops on an acre can af-
ford to put into fertilizers more than
the crop of the farmer would bring.
He must buy some nitrogen, for he
needs a big growth of plant with
most of the things he supplies the
market. So we see the truck garden
ers hauling out for use on their land
vast quantities of barnyard manure.
We also see whole trainloads of ma
nure from the stoclzyards brought into
requisition. / have observed that the
truck gardener farms more intensive
ly than the general farmer. l. have
also sometimes thought that it would
pay the general farmer to farm more
intensively and let part Of the land lie
idle, if need be.

beat, off the repeated attack Of the
Japanese, but not before many shots
had been exchanged. An American
warship ultimately arrived on the
scene and towed the, Carlisle round to
Manila, where she was interned by
the American authorities At Manila
the Carlisle was provided with a new
propeller, but watched by the Ameri-
can warships within the port and by
a Japanese cruiser which kept con-
tinually appearing in the Ofing. The
Carlisle one night disappeared from
Manila at the time of the passing of
Singapore by Admiral Rojestvensky's
feet.
But again fortune frowned; the
Carlisle could not find the Russian
feet, and after many days fruitless
search the captain had again to turn
south. At the end Of May the vessel

WlNDFALL IN PASTRY SHOWER

Runaway Horse Brought Luck to New
York Laborer.
In the early hours OF one morning
last week a solitary 1abGrer was EN-
gagged with wheelbarrow removing
debris from the front of a house in
course of construction 'on the upper
West Side, says the New York
Times. So absorbed was he in his
occupation that he paid no heed to a
clatter of hoofs and rattle of vehicle
as horse attached to baker!s wag-
on turned the corner and dashed in
away, but the laborer did not know it.
There were no warning shouts in his
wake as, in all probability the animal
had outdistanced any pursuers.
The wagon was careening wildly,
and when just opposite the laborer
one of the front wheels struck a bowl
der and the side door few open.
Through the orifice came a project
shower of pies, cakes, doughnuts, and
breakfast rolls, which flew about the
head of the astonished laborer, while
the frightened horse went on up the
street and turned out of sight around
a corner.
Standing in the center OF a perfect
windfall of pastry the laborer looked
carefully in every direction. There
was not soul to be seen. He
scratched his head and looked long
and searchingly into all the trees.
Nothing doing. The cakes did not
seem to have grown up there.

the barrow was piled high with cook
cry, he wheeled it OF; still wondering
what he had done to deserve such a
blessing.
