SHEETS TOO SHORT
FOR TRAVELLING MEN

Give us a nine-foot sheet so we
can cover over the ends of the old
quilts that have done pioneer duty
in this state"
This was one of the recommends
tions of the Commercial Salesmen's
club, which met at Seattle last week.
The club held meeting for the pur-
pose of effecting a political organiza-
tion, and plans have been started for
state convention. 1t is expected
the membership of the club will
reach the 1000 mark.
The organization took up the mat
ter Of hotel inspection and favored
the law requiring hotels to be equip
ped with fire escapes. 1t was while
this was under discussion that the
nine-foot sheet matter was brought
up.
Some of these country hotels
never change the comforts" said
Treasurer A. A. Wismolek. "and we
want the sheets long enough to dou-
bic over the tops, so we won't chew
up a checkered quilt that has been
proved a pioneer of the Pacific
coast"

Labor Scarce at Yakima.

Lack of labor is the only cause now
preventing the cannery here from
practically doubling its output of
canned goods, says the Yakima Re-
public. Between 10 and 90 tons of as
good peaches as this valley can pro-
duce are being converted from the
green to the preserved state at the
cannery daily. This quantity would
be increased 10 tons if Manager Nc
Keon could engage as large a force
of women and girls as he has room
for, In other words. the plant is not
running much beyond so per cent of
its capacity.

because we have not got sufficient
employees to enable us to handle it.
We should put up 100, 600 cases of the
finest fruit ever turned out from a
factory and it would please ourselves

sition to run to our capacity.

BUILD AUTO ROAD
HOOD RIVER TO PORTLAND

While railroad building absorbs the
building receives thought in other
/ localities, says Hood River item.
A committee was appointed at Hood
River recently to investigate the prac-
ticability of building a wagon or
auto road down the Columbia river
from Hood River to Portland.
It Is said by those who claim to
know what they are talking about,
that the road could be built as far as
Cascade Locks, but that below that
the way would be too narrow on ac-
count of the railroad track and the
bluffs. more especially from the Gorge
to Bridal VEIL where there is just
enough room for the railroad between
the river and the basaltic cliffs that
rise hundreds Of feet high.
1t has been said that It would be
easier to build a road from Hood
River to near Lost Lake where a fair
road has already been established,
and to extend it on to Portland from
there. Those who have studied the
matter at all, consider this the cheap
est and most feasible of the two
routes.
At any rate. wagon road building
down the Columbia will be an en-
tertaining subject for some time to
come to people from Hood River who
see the advisability of an auto or
wagon road connecting that city with
Portland and the committee ap-
pointed by one Of the clubs at the |
Apple CITY, was only the beginning
of the end.

BIG ACREAGE TO BE SOLD
UNDER KLAMATH PROJECT

The klamath Waterusers' assocla.
tion Is about to inaugurate cam
paign Of advertising for the purpose
Of assisting landowners under the ir.
rigation project to dispose of their
excess lands. It Is estimated that the
excess acreage will reach about 4O,-
600 acres, which, according to the
contract with the government, must
be sold within a few years.
The association Is to give publicity
to these lands throughout the agri.
cultural districts Of the east and mid
die west, thereby rendering the own
ers valuable assistance in the dispos-
al Of the excess holdings.
The Waterusers' association has al
so practically completed all arrange,
ments by means Of which the land
owners under the system can take
small contracts for the construction
of laterals and portions OF the canal.
taking in payment script, which is the
equivalent Of cash in the payment Of
dues for water rights.
1t is thought that through this plan
most Of the laterals Of the system will
be built by the landowners, who all
have a few months Of each year when
they are not rushed with work on the
farm.
Many Of the ranchers will construct
the laterals that are needed on their
own lands, and others are figuring on
going into the business on an extern
sive scale. 1t is thought that by this
method the work can be done as
cheaply as by contract or by force ac-.
count, the farmers getting the bene-
fit.

GOVERNMENT ENGINEERS
 INSPECT THt BRIDGE
TyEsI
The Parker Structure Over the Colo rado River Is Found To Be An Ex- CeIIent One.

Captain Amos A. Fries of the United States engineering corps, in charge of all the river and harbor work and fort ification construction in Southern Cal ifornia and his assistant Lieutenant Charles T. Leeds of Pasadena came in from trip to Parker yesterday ac- companied by party of railroad of 'ficials, including General Manager w. A. Drake, F. P. Cruice, assistant to the president, Wallace Fairbank, treas urer and J. A. Jaeger. chief engineer of the s. F. P. and P.
 The purpose of the Parker trip was to inspect the new railroad bridge just completed at a cost of upwards of a million dollars. It is required that all bridges over navigable streams shall be built under the naval department and subject to their approval in cer- tain specifications. In regard to the Parker bridge it was required that it be thirty feet above high water which would allow the passing of steamboats.
 Capt. Fries stated yesterday evening that the bridge fulfilled the specified tions in that respect and in addition he found it to be a mOdernly constructed. strong and substantial bridge, one of the best that he had ever inspected. It was designed to and is capable of carrying the heaviest trains in the country. Capt. Fries was also much surprised to find such an excellent road from Wickenburg to Parker. It was well built and had no grades to speak of.
 Asked relative to the work under his supervision on the coast, Capt Fries said work on the San Pedro harbor is progressing rapidly. A breakwater, ninety per cent of which was finished is being constructed. and dredging is continuing at the rate of 67,OOO yards per month. It has been going on for three and a half years. On the break water 9250 feet has been built and to date 2,400.00O tons of stone have been used. This is to protect the outer har- bOr where the water is about 30 to 50 feet in depth at low tide.
 The depth of the inner harbor is about 25 feet which will be lowered to 30 feet taking the largest vessels afIoat except three or four. There are three miles of wharves which will be in- erased to 20 miles in time. San Pedro said Captain Fries, has one of the fin

Speculative Holders Were Eager to

New York, Sept 3.-The selling of stocks by speculative holders today was induced by a perception That the assumptions on which they acquired them were not well founded.
