GOOD FOR HOQU|AM
Local Company Inderbids Seattle
for Construction Of Wharf
an Aorth Jrtty.

SEATTLE, Aug. 31.-The Grays
HarbOr Construction Company of
Hoquiam, was declared the success
full bidder for the construction of a
wharf and landing at Grays HarbOr,
when the bids for this work were
opened yesterday in the office of
Maj. II. NJ. Chittenden, corps Of en-
gineers, L. S. A., in charge of the
Seattle district. The only other
bidder the international Contract
Company, of Seattle bid about $40,
900. The winer's bid was several
thousand dollars lower. When the
contract is signed it will be forward
ed to the war department at Wash
ington and if considered correct this
company will be given the contract.
This work, which includes the
building of a trestle more than 1000
feet long, was made necessary by
the government in the construction
of IA jetty at the north side of Grays
harbor, as it was found impossible
to land supplies on the beach with
the open sea in front of them. The
landing will be built from the inner
harbor across Il large sand spit to
the place where the jetty work is to
begin.
The government found several
years ago that if the work of keep
ing the channel into Grays HarbOr
was to be permanent a jetty must be
built. The one at the south side,
more than 1900 feet long, was
built at that time. 1t was then
from the north in the winter and
from the south in the summer. The
second jetty was then planned. BY
this work the government hopes to
keep the channel free at all times.
The officers believe that the con-
struction of the second jetty will
keep the waters of the four rivers
that empty into Grays harbor ever
straight out to sea, and that the bars
that have heretofore blocked it at
times will be eliminated.
The preliminary work of building
the landing will be undertaken as
soon as possible. 1t will involve
the driving of $1,000 feet of piling.
Six hundred thousand feet OF rough
lumber and 10000 feet of dressed
lumber will be used in this work.
Eight thousand pounds of iron and
5000 pounds of spikes will be used
alone.
When this wharf in the inner har-
Dor and the landing across the sand
spit are completed, it is the intention
to land supplies for the jetty itself
at the wharf, trundle them across
the intervening 1000 feet to the
open sea and unload there.

EFFECT OF SOILS ON
PLANTS
BY G. l.. Allen.

While variations of climate produce
wonderful changes in vegetable forms,
it is a wellestablished fact that any
vegetable grown in a given soil will
assume a very different form when
grown on either heavier or lighter
one. This has been shown in a re-
markable degree with the cabbage.
A given variety grown for long num-
Der of years on heavy soil, with a
liberal supply of plant food, proper
care in growing the plants and in
transplanting them, and constant Gull
tivation until the crop is matured,
will develop type remarkable for
size and vigor, with excellent keeping
qualities, and be what is known as a
Late Flat Dutch or Drumhead cab
bage. On the other hand, take the
same stock seed, grow it on a light
sandy soil, under the same climatic
influences, with the same care in cub
tivation. always selecting with a view
to earliness and solidity, and the re-
suit will be in the same number of
years a variety of the same general
form but of smaller size and very
much earlier. Again, a soil inter.
mediate in character, from the same
stock, during the same period, with
the same care in selection, will give a
variety intermediate in character as
well as in period Of growth.

THE CULTURE
OF ASPARAGUS
BY w. r.. Beattie.

This crop can be grown on almost
any well-drained soil, but will do best
on a deep, mellow. sandy loan. There
is little possibility of having the land
too rich, and liberal applications of
rotted barnyard manure should be
made before the plants are set 1t is
usually more satisfactory to purchase
two-year-old roots from some seeds
man or dealer. The price of good
roots is generally about $125 per hun
dred, and 100 to 200 plants will be
found sufficient to supply the ordinary
family. The roots should be trans
planted during the late autumn or
early spring. Before setting out the
plants the land should be loosened
very deeply, either by subsoil blowing
or deep spading. 1t is a good plan to
remove the topsoil and spade manure
into the subsoil to a depth of IA or 16
inches; then replace the topsoit ard
add more manure. There are two
methods Of setting an asparagus bed,
depending entirely upon the kind of
cultivation to be employed in the gar
den. If horse tools are to be used,
the plants should be set in rows three
and a half feet apart and II inches
apart in the row. On the other hand,
if the garden space is limited the
plants should be set in solid bed,
one foot apart each way, and Guilt
waited by hand. In setting asparagus
the crowns should be covered to a
depth of four or five inches. At the
north it will be desirable to mulch the
asparagus bed during the winter with
three or four inches of loose manure
or straw. In the south the covering
during the winter will not be neces-
sary, but the bed should receive a
dressing of manure or fertilizer at
some time each year, preferably in
the autumn.

Red cedar.-Red cedar. from which
pencils are made, has become so
scarce that it enjoys the unique dis.
tinction of being bought and sold by
the pound. Most of this cedar comes
from Tennessee, Alabama and Florida,
and the supply in Tennessee is nearly
gone. Fence rails that weathered the
civil war have gone into pencils.
Stumps have been dug up and sold for
more than the trees which were cut
frim them to make railroad ties.
Fence posts have given way to newer
kinds of wood and have been carted
to the pencil factory to be sold for
ten cents hundred pounds. And yet
this red cedar will grow anywhere in
the United States where the soil does
not contain too much sand or clay:

agriculture, and will reach a size fit

the trouble is due to an unnatural

trouble may come from injuries to the

KISSING DAYS.

ancient customs of Hocktide, which
have been observed since the days Of
John Gaunt, duke Of Lancaster, who
granted the rights and privileges to
the commoners.
At daybreak the town crier, arrayed
in a new livery, took his stand on the

Then the "tuttimen" went forth bear

demanding penny from every male

The sum thus obtained served to
purchase oranges for scrambling
among the crowd Of children who fol-
lowed in their footsteps. The ladies'
took the kissing in good part, and the
males paid up smilingly.
Meanwhile the Hocktide jury was
transacting more serious business In

who is both a coroner and mayor,
also appointing keepers of the keys
