WHEN POWER OF LEARNING DECREASES.

a child is born the mental faculties become sud

ton of its existence, the sense of touch, feel

relationship to human beings. After the first

AF FTERMATH OF
PORTAGE ROAD
TACOMA ENGINEER
CLAIMS s7opo SALARY
DIR. y. p. Blalock. of Wafla WaIIa.
Presented With Bill for Back Pay
\. Mel. Hawks Seeks to Recover
s25 Per Day for Professional Ser
vices.

The building and equipment of the
portage road at Cello evidently did
not close that affair, as far as A. Mel.
Hawks, an engineer of Tacoma, is
concerned.
Mr.. Hawks claims back salary
amounting to over $1,000 and has sent
his bill to DR.. n. q. Blalock. of Walla
Walla, who was one of the chief pro-
moters of the portage. The Walla
Walla Union says of the matter:
Evidently believing that DR.. N. G..
Blalock was responsible for the obli-
cations of the state of Oregon in
building the portage road around The
Dalles of the Columbia in 1904. a.,
Mel. Hawks, an engineer of Tacoma,
has begun suit against the doctor for
the collection of $7422.70, for services
alleged to have been performed in
connection with that undertaking.
The complaint alleges that Engineer
Hawks performed certain duties as
consulting engineer of the reasonable
value of sS065. for which he has so
far received only the sum of s642.3O.
The particular labor which he per-
formed. SO says the complaint, was
in making an estimate of the cost of
the road and giving his personal at
tention and supervision to the letting
of contracts and the performance of
the work.
The case was first instituted in
Pierce county, the home of the plain
tiff, but upon motion Of DR.. Blalock,
the case was transferred to walla
Walla county,
When seen last evening by rep.
resentative of the Union, DR.. Blalock
said he attached no Importance to the
suit, but considered it rather as a
means of staying execution of judg-
ment he held against Engineer Hawks
for money advanced him while he was
trying to secure the contract for the
construction of the portage road.
For that service he performed for
the Open River association the doctor
says Mr.. Hawks was paid in full at the
rate Of s25 per day.
He was hired in the first place as
consulting engineer, but had a mis-
understanding with the engineer of
the state Of Oregon a few days after
he was on the work, and was after
that of little benefit to the committee
from the Open River association.
He made flattering Representations

EXPECT FoRTY-CENT CORN.
A Three-Cent Spread Has Been Gre
ated Between February and May.

There is a Scent spread between
February and May corn, which some
figure pays ~ per cent to carry It
into May, says the Chicago Livestock
World. This Is a very full carrying
charge, as there are only II days to
May. Cash corn is under 40c for
the first time in several years and the
cash situation presents less attractive
ness to the buyer than has been
known in more than two years.
May sold down to within a fraction
of the low point of the season, and
closed with a net loss of / 1-Sc, while
other months lost 1-2@3-4c. There
is nothing In the immediate situation
in the corn market to encourage
buying for large advance, and senti-
ment has become almost too excess
lively bearish.
Trade is all looking for May to sell
down to 40c. From now on It will be
interesting to watch the action OF
western farmers with corn at under
40c here. 1t means a much lower
price to them than they have been
accustomed to Of late years, and the
question is, VIII they sell freely?
There are no big interests on either
side of the market at present, and the
disposition is to play the short side.
exports were little over 1000. 900
bushels for the week. Available sup
plies are increasing, but are only g.
100000 larger than last year. Until
there is decided improvement in the
domestic and export demand, or some-
thing new develops to help the bull.
prices are expected to be governed
mainly by pit operations.

Her Double Life"

In speaking of the Laura Franken-

morrow night, the Minot, n. D., Daily
Optic of October ., says: Miss Laura
Frankanfield portraying the character
Of Mercy Merrick in that beautiful
play. Her Double Life added lau-
rels to her fame with her appearance
at the opera house last evening. Miss
Frankenfield is without doubt one of
the best emotional actresses appearing
in this section of the country today.
Her work last night was exceptionally
good and her large audience thor-
ouGhly enjoyed the production. The
plot of the piece is filled with many
beautiful dramatic situations, which
were commercially carried out. The
entire cast is well balanced and the
piece admirably produced from start
to finish.

This is said to be one of the pref
test pieces of dramatic work ever
given to the stage. 1.-THE Belle of
RICHMOND is not intended as a great
dramatic effort. 1t was the intention
of the author, when the story was
written to give as true as possible a
faint conception of human life as il
exists in the south.
1t is said to be one of the most
beautiful and realistic stories ever told
of the simple and pure southern life.
The scenes are laid In the south and
the characters are faithful drawings
of real people found in that ALWAYS
