TO HOLD APPLE
CROP
Eastern Buyers Try With
out Success to Con-
tract for Crop.

Walla Walla, Wash, Aug. Is
Eastern fruit buyers are securing the
valley for apples, peaches, pears and
prunes, but are unable to induce
growers to contract their apples,
though the other fruits are selling
in large quantities.
One of the buyers here yesterday
was J. A. Lawrence of H. Woods &
Co. of Chicago, which is said to ham
die three-fourths of the cantaloupes
grown in America and reputed to be
one of the biggest commission houses
in the country. Mr.. Lawrence is one
of dozen fruit men who have tried
to contract for the Pomona apple
crop of $4,000 boxes. He states
that growers have not sold their ap-
plies at stipulated prices, but that a
few sales have been consummated at
going prices"

Sixteen. of the bodies were lying
close together. The other six were
in the creek, with their hands COW

negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth
infantry found the bodies and con-
veyed them to Avery.
Thirty unidentified bodies were
buried at Avery today. Only four OF
the large number of persons killed
near Avery have been identified, and
these four were settlers in the neigh
borhood. Their names were not OBJ

One hundred and six men in the

The searching parties that bring in
bodies find many with their faces
in the creek, while others are lying
with their arms covering their eyes
All unidentified bodies are being
buried as soon as they are brought

handing speedy interment.
Ebert Dow, of Seattle, who had
been in and near Avery since Satur-

TWO MORE Neg
ROES ARRESTED
Bill and Grace Reid Caught
in Police Net on Sew
eral Counts.

More of the whiskey stolen from
the railroad car last Friday has now
been accounted for. 1t was in the
possession of Bill and Grace Reid, a
colored man and woman living in
the same shack with Bill Bell where
the latter had cached a large part
of the stolen booze. Six bottles were
accounted for by the pair, making a
total of IS quarts checked up out OF
the 10 stolen.
Other indictments will also be
brought against the last two cap
tives. 1t develops that the negress
has been keeping a bawdy house and
she will be charged with prostitu-
ton. Bill Reid, a porter in one of
the local barber shops, at first claim
ed that the woman was his wife.
When more closely questioned, how
ever, he stated that six years ago
she was the wife of a negro friend
of his in Seattle. When she and her
spouse failed to get along well to-
gether, the husband gave the woman
to Reid and he claims that she has
belonged to him ever since, although
no marriage ceremony has ever been
performed.
Indications now are that the shack
on Columbia street, where the ne
groes have been living, is verita-
BILE fence which has been the head
quarters of criminals when they
were operating in these whereabouts.
Various holes and concealed trap
doors about the place look quite sus-
picious, although nothing has been
found but the stolen whiskey at this
time.
Three indictments will probably
be brought against the negro cap
tives The first count is violation Of
the local option law, the second is
receiving and holding goods known
to have been stolen, the third is run
ming a disorderly house of prostitu-
ton.

KRUPP BRIDGE DELAY
Burned Structure Will Not Be Re-
paired Until Some Time
Tonight.

1t was expected that the burned
bridge across Crab creek would have
been finished last night. but it is
stated at the local office of the Great
Northern that repairs will not be
completed until sometime late to-
night.
No. "A passed through here early
this morning and will run to Krupp
and transfer at that place, returning
here about o'clock as No. 1. The
portion of the bridge burned was
about 500 feet in length The trains
yesterday were routed over the Nor
thern Pacific.
The delay Is quite a serious one
here, owing to the fact that there
are about 80 carloads of fruit stand
ing in the local yards, destined for
the east. 1t is expected that they
will be routed out of here tonight.

Bridges Destroyed.

Employees of the railway at this
point have been notified that TWEEN
ty-five bridges out of twenty-nine
between Avery and St. Maries, Idaho,
have been destroyed by fire. Most
of the bridges are of wood Some
of the trestles are 200 feet high and
all of them have been totally con-
sumed. The railroad has been re-
placing wooden structures with steel
in preparation for through traffic
for September and it is learned that
the steel bridges have buckled and
warped under the intense heat and
will have to be replaced.
Losses Heavy.
The loss can only be approximate
ed here, but it is known that it will
run into thousands. The dispatcher
at Modem says that eight of the Mil
waukee bridge carpenters are in the
hospital badly burned.
A message from St. Joe, Idaho.
says: Hundreds are dead around
Marble creek. The whole of Marble
creek district is doomed unless rain
falls. Conditions are awful
A corrOborated message from Az
cry says that of 125 men that went
out to fight fire only two returned
alive. The Ellensburg office is re-
laying here for all points within 34o
miles of 44llensburg.

SNOW IN MONTANA
More Encouraging Reports Are Re-
ceived Today From Fire Zone.

Helena, Mont, Aug. 25.-With
light rain and snow falling over the
entire fire zone the situation today
is greatly improved. Carbon county
alone has not benefited in this man
ner. There fires are raging fiercely,
but it is believed that if the down.
pour continues, even though slight
as it is, the flames will soon be con-
quered.
This is one of the most remark
able changes in temperature. Sum
day the thermometer stood at so,
and Mount Helena was obscured by
smoke and ashes. Today the noun
tain is covered with snow and the
vision is unobstructed, the down
pour having cleared the atmosphere.
Governor Norris today received en-
couraging reports from various dis
tricts, and it Is thought the worst
has passed.

'The Nest Of the Sparrow Hawk"

By Baroness orczy. Published by Frederick
One is tempted to call this latest book
by Baroness orczy a pot boiler"
for compared with her previous work it
IS decidedly inferior. but standing on
its own merits IL deserves praise OF its
own peculiar kind. Il is melodrama
pure and simple and as such is inter
esttng. II is written far better than
the average book Of its kind because its
author is a capable and practiced writer
and though several OF its little "mys-
teries' are quite apparent to the reader
from the start. the author succeeds in
maintaining the interest in the solu-
tion. so that the reader is held to the
end.
The time OF the tale is the seven
teenth century, and the place is Acol

the kentish coast. Cromwell has de-
clared himself the lord protector and

Inland waterways and their devel-
opment have received so much attention
not only from the government, but from
the people throughout the United
States. that book like this one by
Herbert Quick will interest and ap-
peal to all classes of readers. The
author says in his introduction that his
Investigations are somewhat cursory
IL one is confined to the compass OF
one volume" but he has succeeded in
this one very generous volume in CIV
ing the reader a very clear idea Of the
subject. He says: ''The disappear
ance of commerce from our waterways
seemed like striking instance of the
death of the unfit in the struggle for
commercial existence. The experience
of other nations shows that this is not
so. Fitness to live for human service
is quite another matter from fitness to
survive in the contests of the jungle.
We fit the earth for use by determining
what organisms shall survive. We
must so bend the energies Of the
agencies OF land transportation as TO
allow the waterway to live as a tool
of trade, to the benefit of the whole
nation. including the railways"
The author tells us OF the useless
waste of our water resources and points
out the-example of other countries in
the building of canals. dredging, and
the maintaining of terminals and har-
bors Antwerp and Hamburg are cited
as remarkable examples of cities whose
principal claim to fame lies in their
harbor facilities. for they are compara-
lively small cities. but by enterprise
and hard work have made themselves

Europe.

which our great neighbor. Canada. has
developed receive considerable atten-
tion. and there are constant illusions
to the experiments. often most sug-
gestive. that have been made by other
nations in perfecting their system OF
waterways. The chapter entitled The
Battle of the Engineers describes the
various opposing theories of the engi-
neering problems which are encount-
cred in waterways development The

where she is the bright particular star
--on the streets-always she longs for
him.
Then she finds him. A young scholar.
She is able TO keep her life story
secret from him, and their love seems
real and hopeful. He would marry her,
but she. realizing what would happen
IL he discovered all later, tells her
story. His love is great enough to
overlook it all. He feels she has drifted
because no one was at hand to guide
her. He is dependent upon an uncle
and must gain his consent. SO the
uncle comes to Berlin to entertain them
at dinner and pass Judgment upon Lilly.
Lilly's beauty and charm-but he, in
an apparently accidental manner, plies
her with drink and the whole picture
of her past. with no softening colors,
is revealed. The scene at the restau-
rant is one of the most remarkable in
thing by Flaubert, but as gross as Eng
lish can make It, 1t could only have
been done by German. Its humor is
heavy and tragic and its truth COM
pelling and crushing.
So Lilly's once chance of happiness Is
gone and she marries Dehnicke after
a while and sinks into a dull and un-
happy conventionalism.
The story thus told in briefest outline
sounds bald and even commonplace.
1t is the tale of a girl forced by her
own indecision of character to become
a member of the half world. not for
love of the life. not for financial gain;
but from an ignorance and indiffer-
ence and a total lack of comprehen-
sion of what life really means.
Sudermann has done one of the most
remarkable masterpieces of the age in
this work He has photographed a
phase of life as it is as few writer's
would have dared to do. 1t is a hor-
rible book, but in its handling OF this
forbidden subject fiawlessly artistic.
The work of translation has been
done by Thomas Seltzer and deserves
much praise. 1t has none of the
marks of translation-one feels the
authors strength throughout.
