RUSHING WORK ON
NEW YORK CANAL

Boise, Idaho.--The freezing wealth
er has not placed a damper on the
work of cementing the New York ca
nal, which is being done by the rec
lamation service. Several hundred
men are still employed and are finding
an average of 100 running feet daily
of the big ditch.
A novel plan for continuing the
work despite the elements of the
weather. was arranged and a large
canvas was secured which complete
ly covers a section of the canal and
extends down to the bottom at either
end, keeping out the cold air. Several
stoves have been put up in side of
the mammoth tent and the tempera-
ture is maintained to such a degree
that the cement works nicely. The
camp has to be moved every night,
but Notwithstanding this obstacle, the
work is progressing nicely and the
work will probably be completed by
the first OF the year.

Seattle. are prohibited
from maintaining warehouses in dry
units, for the distribution of their pro-
ducts, according to a ruling by Attor-
ney General Bell of Washington. This
is a reversal of his former construc-
tion of the local option law. The lat
est opinion was given on n question
submitted by Stevens county, which
recently voted to abolish saloons. AS
common carriers are forbidden from
carrying liquors into dry territory, II
is further held that warehouse may
deliver what stock II has on hand,
but is unable to replace its stock. The
defeat of the local option forces in
Wala Walla Is the first important re-
versal they have met. To date, they
have won in 35 special elections and
met defeat in 10, in this state.

YEAR 1909 HAS BEEN
GREAT ONE FOR "DRHS.'

Chicago. THE year 1909 breaks
all records as a IL month period or
anti-alchol,c reform" Is the opening
line OF a statement issued tonight by
Chairman Charles r. Jones, at ma
tional prohibition headquarters'
which Is TO be read Sunday IN Chi-
cago churches. The statement was
issued in reply to claims of a reac-
ton by liquor interests. 1t says:
.Tp addition to gains in thousands
of cities throughout America, the
twelfth worlds congress against al
coholism. held in London, revealed
unity that promises greater progress
for the ensuing year. There was
launched during the year an inter
national prohibition confederation
embracing representatives of move
ments in a score of nations. In the
United States ex SITS strong trend
toward abolition of the liquor traffic.
Despite claims of q reaction made by
the liauor press the records show that
in no 12 months during the past oO
wears has there gathered such n pro-
gressiye force or been such a sub
stantial gain for national prohibi-
tion. The chief handicaps to the en-
forcement of prohibition are the need
Of federal protection Of dry territory

SURVEY OF WEEKS

BAegs Advance to 1885 With Two
sales at That Figure-Steers Sell at
$3.50 and Cows Move Around s3.75
Price OF Sheep Advances 25c.

Portland Union Stockyards. Dec.
N.-Christmas week. 1909, will be
soticeable In the hosiery of the Port
hand livestock market as a week of
exceptionally high prices and a de-
nand that overshadowed anything
zhown in any previous year for the
same period.
Making of new high records for
livestock ds getting to be somewhat
sf an old story, but to those that
ship. the story cannot be repeated too
often.
While only two sales of hogs were
made at $8.85, still 1t established an
entirely new high record for the pres
ent movement. Naturally the swine
that received this price were of fancy
quality. still for less favorable quail
ity a slightly lower price was cas- ly
obtained. This was during the fore
part of the week.
AS Christmas day approached, the
market became rather dull and life
less with signs OF sogglness and some
sales were made at decline of 10c
from former quotations. This was
to be expected naturally as result
of the holiday This. however. was
only for ordinary stuff.
The great strength displayed Just
previous TO this Is what surprised the
trade most for Christmas week is as
u rule, n very dull. and unfavorable
trading period. so far as the interests
of shippers are concerned. However,
the old timers stay away from such
a market at these periods
Steer Market Advances To $3.50.
An advance of nickle during the
week carried the steer market to a
high record at $3.50 and gave ship
pers add tional information as to the
growing Importance of the Portland
livestock market. Market for steers
remained In good condition all week,
although naturally the tone was not
so active as during the previous six
days when killers were making their
preparations for the Christmas trade
There was only small number of
cattle in the yards during the week,
a mere 291 head compared with 1850
last week. 1916 the previous week
and 2172 head month ago for the
same period.
Cows commanded the same sort OF
attention from killers early in the
week as did the steers and for these
an advance of i5c over the previous
weeks price put the market to sS.S5
sheep Receipts Are Light.
with only small number Of sheep
offering in the Stockdale yards dur
ing the week, the market was lifted
25c all around and at the close OF the
week stood IN very healthy position
with indications of a betterment OF
the trading tone after the holidays
have passed into history.
Run OF sheep and lambs for the
week was 547 head compared with
2ss2 head last week, 2s4s the pre-
vious week and 1913 head month
ago for Ike period
Last weeks arrivals of livestock
compare with the same period in re-
cent years as follows:

Drowning Boy is
Taken from Lake
Edward Gering is Rescued from
Bottom Of Deep Hole in Cutoff
by Shinrock Brothers.

To the courage and presence Of mind OF
Leslie and Howard shinrock Is due the fact
that Edward Gering. 2707 L~eavenworth
street IL years Of age, was not added last
night to the list of those who have been
drowned in Cutoff lake.
Young Gering, With a friend. Frank
Wicklund. $40 South Twenty-fourth street,
went swimming in the lake. About s
o'clock while they were near what is
known as the "Trustie hole" near Four
teenth street, Gering was seized with
cramps and went down. His friend could
do nothing but scream for help. TIL Shin
rock boys. who live at $50 North TWEEN
ty-fifth street. happened TO be near.
They ran to the place where the lad had
disappeared and without waiting to re-
move their clothes they plunged into the
water, which at that point is ten feet deep
and in places even deeper.
They dived several times and could not
find the boy and finally Leslie Shinrock
went down again and lying flat on the
bottom OF the lake groped with both hands
until he found the body of the boy.
Gering was at once taken TO the home
OF DR.. c. c. Morrison. 2sls Sherman avenue,
where It was thought for a time that he
had been under the water too long to be
brought 10 life, but finally he was revived
and later on was taken home, where he Is
expected to recover rapidly.
