EIGHT HOUR LAW IN THE NAVY,
Means Increased Cost of From Five 20
Ten Per Cent.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE navy
department officials who have charge
of public works are much interested
IN the effect of the law relating to the
employment of labor and the Iimita-
ton of such work to eight hours a
day. 1t is estimated that this require
ment will mean an increase of from
hVe to ten per cent in the cost of
public works. Instructions have been
given to those in charge of work at
the navy yards to see to it that there
are no violations of the law and that
all such occurrences are reported
promptly and specifically to the
Washington authorities. The law is
interpreted for the present in the navy
department as applying only to the
work itself, and not extending to the
production and preparation of the ma
terlal which enters into the cOnStruc-
ton of naval public works In the
specifications which have been COM
piled lately, an addendum gives special
warning of the requirements of the
new law and what is expected of gov
eminent officials in the navy yards.

ing that if the company could carry

nance reduces the rates as follows:
One 16 candlepower, from 81 to

$3.50 to 81; three Is candlepower, from

Meter rates under so K. w. hours,

ing them if the fruit industry is to be
made profitable.
The plan of the city council pro-
viding a market place where fruit can
be inspected was discussed at consid-
cradle length by both the merchants
present as well as by Inspector Ritz
and Commissioner Huntey, resulting
in the following resolution, addressed
to the city council, being adopted.
The Resolution.
1T is the sense of this meeting
that all merchants in Walla Walla,
handling and selling fruits, whether
grown at home or imported, heartily
support State Horticultural Commits
sioner Huntley and County Inspector
Ritz in their efforts to destroy fruit
pests, and promise their earnest CO.
operation in bringing about thorough
fruit inspection and the destruction of
infected fruit, and endorse the plan of
a local place of examination where all
fruits shall be inspected before being
offered for sale in the local market,
and request the city council to pro-
vide the place for such inspection"
The matter will be brought up for
the consideration of the council at next
Tuesday nights meeting Grocerymen
and commission house men stated to-
day that they were anxious to see the
fruit inspection laws enforced and are
heartily in accord with the action
taken last night.

Movement Begun in Interest Of
Clean Fruit.
ENDORSED BY GROWERS AND DEALERS
AT MEETING IN COMMERCIAL
CLUB ROOMS RESOLUTION
FAVORING PLAN PASSES.

County Fruit Inspector Ritz fight
for a more rigid enforcement of the
of fruit offered for sale was taken up
at a mass meeting of merchants, COM
mission men and growers, held at the
Commercial club rooms last night and
resulted in a resolution being passed
asking the city council to enact an or
dinance providing for market place
somewhere in the city where all fruit,
both homegrown and imported, can
be inspected before being placed on
the market.
Merchants and growers alike say
they recognize the necessity of OBJ
serving the state laws relating to in
fected fruit. The meeting last night
was attended by more than a score of
prominent men interested in the fruit
and vegetable industry.
For Thorough Inspection.
Inspector Ritz called the meeting to
order and explained that the object
of calling the merchants and growers
together was for the purpose of form
ulating some plan for a more thorough
inspection of fruit. Later, M. G. Nc
Grew, president of the McGrew gro
Gerry, was induced to preside over the
meeting as it had primarily been
called for the benefit of local mer-
chants and commission men.

yesterday to assist Inspector Ritz in
the fight for a better sys-
tenn of inspecting fruit, adj

HOW THE TIGER KILLS.
Never Faces His Prey. but Attacks "a
gu the Flank.

Never Faces HIS Prey. but Attacks Il
gu the Flank.
l have taken considerable trouble tc
find out how tigers kill large game.
Some time ago l was asked to come
and see full grown bullock that hao
been killed by tiger. On examining
it / found the animal had its mech
broken, and there were claw marks
on the nose and shoulder, but nowhere
else. There was no doubt that tbs
tiger had jumped at the bull and land
ed on the shoulder, and when the bun
turned his head to gore the tiger he
must have put his claw out and with
a sudden jerk broken the neck.
On another occasion l went to see 9
young buffalo which had been killed by
a tiger and found the same thing hao
happened. There We're similar marks
on the nose and also on the near shout
der, which clearly indicated that this
animal had been killed in the same
way. Malays who have actually seer
a tiger killing a buffalo told me they
saw the same thing happen; also that
in dragging off heavy carcass, such
as buffalo or bull, he gets most Of the
weight across his shoulder.
This must be fairly correct, as ]
have often followed kill. and the
marks left indicate that only a portion
Of the animal was trailing along the
ground. l have known full grown
bull, which ten men could not move,
dragged for two miles by a tiger in q
heavy jungle, where roots Of trees and
swamp had to be gone through. In nc
case have l seen the pug marks facing
the wrong way except when stopping
to feed, which proves he must carry
portion of the animal over his shoUl-
der.
The old idea of tiger killing large
game by blow from his paw is non.
sense; besides. in India tiger never
faces his prey. but attacks him on the
flank unless charged. Another curious
fact that may seerl very like fairy
tale is that tiger does not seem to
mind small lamp being tied over a
kill about ten feet high, but will come
and feed. l have known three Occa-
sions when this has been tried, and
each time a tiger has come to feed
upon the carcass London Field.

HOMER RUTHERFORD HURT.

noon. Judge Brents received a tele-

nouncing his accident. He did not
state how severe his own injuries are
but Judge Brents is inclined to be-

Byles on Bills.

Among the humorous memories con-

Justice Byles and his horse. This eni-
1nent jurist was well known in his
profession for his work on Bills" and
as this gave a five opportunity for al
liberation his associates were accus-
toned to beStpw the name on the
horse, which was put a sorry steed.
There goes Byles on Bills" they took
pleasure in saying. and as the judge
rode out every afternoon they INDUCED
daily in their little Joke. But the truth
was that the horse had another name,
known only to the master and his man..
and when too curious client inquired
as to the judges whereabouts he was
told by the servant, with clear cor-
science, that master was out OH Bust
