then Joining the main track 1S5 feet
farther 10 the north.
The city is constantly securing old
buildings on sites purchased for
schools, fire houses. etc, and upon the
question raised by the commissions as
10 whether the money derived from
their auction should go into the fund
which purchased the lands, the city
attorney gave an opinion yesterday. He
held that such money must be turned
into the general fund and be at the dis
position of the board Of supervisors, in
stead of augmcnting the particular
fund from which the purchase price
was paid.
The construction of section B Of the
Division street sewer was yesterday
awarded by the board of works 10 the
Healy-Tibbitts company for s144,6 500,
the firms bid having been the low
one of. the three submitted. The COM
mission asked the supervisors for $780,
600 with which TO construct the pro-
posed sewer in the University mound
and Silver terrace district.
H LOrentZen asked the supervisors
artificial lighting committee yesterday
for an arc light TO be located near
his saloon at the corner of Ocean ave-
nue. and the Corbett road. Lorentzen
explained that this was the commence
ment of the automobile boulevard lead
ing TO San Mateo county and that a
number of accidents had been caused
at the corner due 10 the darkness"
Inspector Byrne was instructed to visit

HOQUIAM, May 22-Prosecuting
Attorney William E. Campbell is in
vestigating the shipment of hundreds
OF men to the harbor by employment
agencies of Seattle, and Tacoma to
work for the Grays Harbor Commercial
company
A number of the felonies committed
mere during the past few months have
been by men shipped into the city by
employment agencies. These agencies
have been making the harbor towns a
dumping ground for an undesirable ell
ement of the Sound cities for some
time. The men got transportation to
Cosmopolis, and when they arrive here
are put to work., The first money they
earn is taken out for railroad fare ad-
vanced. hospital fee and employment
fee. Frequently the men are then
fired" and others coming in take
their places. Through this means there
is a constant flow here.

HIS FRIENDS ARE GIVING HIM
THE LAUGH AND SOME AD-
= VICE AS WELL.
McLachIan Passes Him on Steamship
Bill and Has the Pole-And
He May Keep 1t.

WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator
Flint is four knots behind.
All his friends here are laughing
about the recent joke on the California
senator and telling him to speed up his
engine.
1t happened this way: Representa-
tive McLachlan, also of California, in
troduced a bill near the close of the
last congress, providing that the gov
eminent establish a steamship line on
the Pacific coast from Panama to Pu-
get sound. The bill made hit in Cali
fornia, where the merchants have to
ship either by Harriman's transcon-
tinental lines or Harriman's Pacific
Mail Steamship company. McLachlan
got kilograms by the score from his
constituents, congratulating him on his
bill
His political friends wanted to know
why he had allowed McLachlan to catch
him mapping, and said something about
the fact that he will run for reelection
next year. Even the Organization in
California which is popularity supposed
to be on good terms with the Harri-
man Ines, wired him to introduce a
bill. The bill needn't pass, but he must
get busy at once, and introduce it any
way. Flint rushed over to the house
document room, secured a copy of Nc
Lachlans bill, scratched out the word
house" and substituted Senate"
scratched out McLachlan's name and
substituted his own and wired the news
to his friends on the Pacific coast
Thereafter the pro-Flint papers in CAL
ifornia fondly referred to the bill as
the Flint Bill
Then the old congress died, and both
Flint and McLachlan reintroduced their
bills in the extra session. McLachlan
however, quietly changed his bill to
require a speed of Is knots an hour for
the proposed steamships instead of II
as his old bill had read. Flint, unsus-
pectingly, reintroduced his bill in the

old form Friends of the California
senator discovered the discrepancy. and
have been poking fun at him ever since.
McLachlan intends to keep ahead. He
went down to Panama just after the
house finished considering the tariff bill
and it was given out that he would
study conditions to urge the passage of
his steamship bill. The story was
printed broadcast in California, and
then Flint got some more kilograms.
Whereupon the senator announced that
he, too, would go to Panama to stady
conditions as soon as the senate ad-
journs. But meanwhile McLachlan
had given the signal full speed ahead"
and was sailing for Panama at Is knots
an hour He was interviewed when he
came back and told of conditions and
how he hoped to remedy them by his
bill
After congress adjourns. Flint will
make his trip to Panama, but McLach-
lanStll has the lever up to the full
speed clutch. While Flint is in Pana-
make his tr-.D to Panama, but McLach-
Ian still has the lever up to the full
speeches about his bill for a govern
ment-Owned steamship line on the Pa
cific coast.
If the two California statesmen keen
up the race, the bill ought to GO through
the next congress at the rate of about
20 knots.

tors have achieved their successes in
the face of a disheartening lack Of in
terest and support from the govern

acknowledged, did more for aeronautics
than any other person with the excep-
ton of the Wrights, was made the ia
get of ridicule by certain congressman
whose knowledge of the problems of
flight was confined to the observation
of birds The Wrights themselves
happen to be in the United States be-
cause the war department saw fit to
use a portion of the fund appropriated
for the board of ordnance and fortifi-
cation to encourage them in their work.
Even the medal voted the Wright
brothers in honor of their achievement
will not be done by a noted artist be-
cause congress did not supply sufficinet
money for this purpose. The design
will be executed at the mint
There is every hope, however, that
