Hubbard Bros. q Co.'S Letter.

New York, January 22.--(Special.) J. There was a good demand in Liverpo ,l today from spinners because of the ,t- ter business Manchester is doing with India in cotton goods at prevailing prices. This demand advanced Liverpool some 6 points above the parity due on our closing. with the effect If causing an advance at our opening of some points and gradual improvement to the close slight recession afterward was due to profit-taking before the ginners' report on Monday. It is estimated that the spin ners have bought upward of a million bales during the past three weeks and they continue to buy contracts here ev- cry day. So long as this buying con- tinues we will advance, as this cotton Is now of the market. During the session there were indications that some of the old bulls were again in buying on the idea that as the spinners mad taken so much cotton there was Just TO much left and they would now be willing to pay higher prices for the balance.

Manchester Cloth Market.


 Manchester. January 22-The inquiry in the cloth markets broadens with the lower raw cotton prices, but the violent f1uctu- ations make buyers hesitate about plac- ing large orders, and the turnover for the week was again small and confined to few standard cloths for India and China and miscellaneous descriptions for Medi- terranean and South American markets Prices were generally easier. Yarns were in better request and farthing reduc- ton induced buyers to place a few mod crate orders for immediate delivery, while tho lower cotton prices make spinners' margins a shade better.

ANOTHER RECORD SET
FOR YAKIMA PRUNES
G.. C. Squier Sells Fruit East at
Twice Figure Buyers
Offered Here

Following up a similar sale last
week, G. G. Squier announced last
night that had effected a sale of a
car of Italian prunes grown by the
M. f. Glen Fruit company at Parker
for lump sum of 1883. This price,
mark for irrigated Washington prunes,
Mr.. Squier says was the high water
and the sale was made by Earle Bros.
of Chicago, whom he represents in
this territory.
At this price, the growers net $1.45
after the freight is deducted. Mr..
SQuier. in commenting on the controv-
ersy as to selling on commission, said
THE Olsen brothers We're offered only
50 cents a box for this shipment by
local buyers. On the previous car they
shipped, which sold in Chicago at
$3.50 gross, they were only offered
65 cents by buyers here, but after
the account was published that al
most three times that price was Sc
cured by consigning the fruit to Chi
cago, the local people felt it was up
to them to do a little better. so they
came through with 20 cents a box
more
Il observe that the strongest ar
gument the advocates of cash sale
are making is that of the ease with
which the goods sent to auction can
be sold. All l have to say is that
any grower may sell their goods the
same way if he wishes, and that fail
to discern the difference between con-
signing to a man who will auction off
the goods before a crowd of buyers
and consigning them to a good concern
that will perhaps get out and rustic
a purchaser at even a higher figure
than an auction would bring

SUBURBS MAY BUILD
FIVE FOOT SIDEWALKS
Council Decided to Establish Pre-
cedent in Outlaying Districts
Streets Narrow.

That residents of outlying districts
may now construct five foot side
walks instead of the old requirement
of six feet, is the pleasant little sur
prise package which the city council
handed out in the regular fortnight
ly meeting last night. This accord
ing to arguments which prevailed in
the council chambers, will mean more
walks and better mail service for the
suburbs, it being the intentions of
the post office department to extend
the carrier system into those districts
as fast as walks are constructed
The action came only after City
Engineer Doolittle had explained that
many of the streets in the suburbs are
not over 40 and so feet wide and
that a five foot walk would carry
sufficient traffic, the majority of the
council being opposed to establish
inf a precedent in allowing anything
less than a six foot walk to be built.
The final vote was unanimous.

TO BEGIN BUILDING
Strahorn Anxious to Have Alleys
Vacated so That Work on
Buildings Can Begin.

Following a lengthy debate in the
council chambers last night, a reso-
luton to vacate all alleys in the city
on the North Coast right of way, was
passed, it being announced by Attor-
ney H. J. Snively, counsel for the rail-
way company, that the Strahorn line

That the North Coast is contem-

THE STORK BRINGS
BACK HIS LOST SIGHT
Musician Long Blind Pleased With
First Glimpse of His Pretty
Wife and New Born Baby.

MERCERV1LLE, N. j., Aug. 12.-
Although married five years, Peter
Mayard. a musician of this city, look
ed upon the face of his wife for the
first time a few hours ago. He be-
lieves the visitation of the stork to
his home resulted in the restoration
of his eyesight.
He asserts that he is the happiest
man in the world. as he found his
wife to be even prettier than he had
pictured her in his mind.
Mayard's recovery of his eyesight
is considered marvellous by physi-
clans. who believed he would never
be able to see again.
When Mayard was 10 years old he
was struck in the right eye by base
ball. The injury resulted in total
blindness. However, this did not in
terfere with his education. When he
reached the age of 81 he was con-
sidered an expert pianist.
Married Beautiful Girl.
Shortly after he had attained his
majority he met Miss Mary French,
a beautiful girl of IS, who was deep
ly impressed with his skill as a NIL
siclan. The friendship gradually
deepened. Cupid took a hand and
the two became engaged. The mar
riage followed year later. The two
have been extremely happy. but are
now happier.
Mrs. Mayard was taken suddenly i'll
and her husband, although blind. at
tempted to run to summon q ply
stefan. He thought he could reach
the house without difficulty, but he
stumbled over an embankment and
fell 10 feet. He was unconscious for
some time
When he was recovering he was
informed there was an addition to
his family. a 10-pound baby girl. 1t
was a few moments after receiving
this information that he suddenly he
gan to shout for joy. He made so
much noise he aroused the neighbour
hood. He had discovered he could
see as well as when he was a boy.
Amazed at Wtfe's Beauty.
Mrs. Mayard was surprised at the
news. Her husband, when she had
recovered sufficiently for him to see
her. was amazed at her appearance.
why, l didn't know l had mar
ried the prettiest girl in the country"
he exclaimed.
He asserted he thought his wifc's
appearance altogether different than
it is. Physicians who later examined
the musician pronounced his sight
completely restored and attributed
the restoration to the shock of the fall
and the glad news in which the stork
figured.

WIRELESS HEADQUARTERS
QUITS IN PORTLAND

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 1.-THE
headquarters of the United Wireless
Telegraph Co. at Portland and the
stations here and at St. Helens were
closed today. Their disorganization
signaiZes the termination for the
present, of efforts of that corporation
to compete with telegraph lines in
land. The nearest wireless station
will be at Astoria, where arrange.
ments have been made to maintain a
day and night office.
The termination of its business here
marks the principal experimental
work performed on the coast by the
United Wireless, so far as inland bust
ness is concerned, and it is admitted
that excellent results have been OBJ
tanned In testing the efficiency of the
system in distance work. The fnan-
cial returns however, have not been
sutflcient to warrant a continuance
of inland offices and it is planned to
devote all energy to sea work. The
company has plants aboard 100 YES
sells on the Pacific Coast with shore
stations covering them from Alaska
to San Diego.

CRAVEN TO SPEAK
FOR POINDEXTER
Man Who Has Made Hundreds of
Speeches For Republicans Will
Fight Under Insurgent Banner.

SEATTLE, Aug. 12.-Hermon w.
Craven, who has probably made more
campaign speeches for republican
states committees during the last 20
years than any other man in Wash
ington announced yesterday that he
had decided to support POindexter.
Taking immediate advantage of
this important accession to their
ranks, the PoindeXter managers in
vited him to preside at the Victor
Murdoch meeting August "a at the
Grand opera house. Mr.. Craven ac-
cepted. He will also accompany
Congressman Poindexter tomorrow on
a tour of Island county, where ne Is
well acquainted, and may go with
Congressman Murdoch in Poindex-
ter's interest to attend Murdoch meet
ings over the state
Is Against Cannonfsm.
Mr.. Craven said this morning:
II am opposed to Cannonism In the
house, and to Aldrichism in the SEN
ate. The issue in this contest, to a
large degree, is simply this: Shall
we have a government by the people
or government by a small, arpi-
trary, tyrannical gang of politicians.
congressman Poindexter is the
only candidate, with any show of
election, who can be depended upon
to go TO Washington to represent all
the people.
THE present tariff law, in my op1n-
ion, is not a satisfactory fulfllment OF
the republican party pledges. We

not join the group of senators who
made such fulhlment impossible.
PoindeXter is pre-emlnently the man"
Stumpcd for McGraw.
Mr.. Craven first began participant
ing in republican state campaigns in
1892, when he stumped the state with
John H. McGraw for governor. In
1896, when the party was hard
pressed for campaigners willing 10
meet free silver orators, he went
against the guns and was pitted IN
Joint debates against three Of the
ablest orators of the opposition. He
has participated in state republican
campaigns every year since.
In January, 1903, Mr.. Craven acted
as chairman of the famous Preston
meeting in the Seattle theatre, called
to urge the election of Seattle can
diSSte for the United States senate,
the meeting which Judge Thomas
Burke undertook to stampede by re-
spending to the cries of men hired
for 81 each to pack the hall and yell
for him. In that meeting Burke took
the platform, but was howled down
by the audience much in the same
manner as was Senator Piles in the
Grand opera house meeting last week.

Only to Lock at Country
DECISION RESTS WITH
HIM AND COUNTY MEN
Denies That He Had Engagement
With Commercial Club Here,
or That He Ever Intended to
Make Decision as Result of Visit

state Highway Commissioner
Bowlby left town last evening for
Olympia without making decision on
the construction of the bridges on
the Dumping lake and Gold Hill roads.
A commission of three, BoWlhY. and
County Engineer Mcintyre of Yakima
and Beasley of Lewis, will again in
pect the roads and render a decision.
Bowlby denied that he came here
with the intention of inspecting the
roads or that he had any engagement
with the Commercial club. He said
he came merely to see the country
and that the auto trip over the roads
was toward that end alone. Practical
ly the only informant on vouchesafed
was that he would leave for Olympia.
Il really have nothing to say. We
went over the roads both Dumping
lake and Gold Hill. and as roads go
over the state, found them in fair
condition. We averaged abou: II
miles an hour in the machine. The
trip was not in the nature of an in
spection. Mcintyre, Beasley and my
self will go over tho roads within u
month again and give our decision.
| really only wanted to see the coun-
try. 1t was my first opportunity and
the orchards and land looked fine"
notwithstanding BoWlbNs state
ment, it was given out at the Com
mercial club that he was to have
met that organization and talked
roads to the members. The meeting
was to have been held Monday after
noon, but it was found that Bowlby
would not be able to return in time
to make the appointment. and the
meeting did not hear his views,
The commissioner has been in town
since Saturday, registered at the Yak
ina, and has met many of the BUSH
ness men personally during that time.
1t was generally understood that he
was to have inspected State Roads No.
1 and No. 5, and that on his decision
rested whether or not the state would
put in iron bridges on the road, which
so far private capital has kept up.

Cannery Doing Good Business.

The Sunnyside cannery started on
the seasons run Monday and the re-
suits of the first days work were
very satisfactory, about 1900 gal ons
of pears being put away to keep. We
are informed that the cannery will
probably be kept in operation until
about January list, as the tomato
crop will come on as soon as The
pears are out of the way, and will
continue until the frost kills the To-
mato vines, after which the cannery
can operate on apple and pumpkins
as long as is desirable. Mr.. r. l. Nc
Laughlin, the lessee, has also the cam
merry at Granger and is operating it.
This industry means much to Sun
nyside in furnishing local market Cor
farm produce. But its products would
be nationwide booster for Sunny
side if we could manage to get the
Sunnysde name on the label.-Sun-

HOMESTEAD LAND ON
TETON TO Be OPENED
1000 Acres of Land VIII be
Thrown Open, Says
Official.

J. w. Keener, of Washington, d.

partment in the land office having to
do with lands under the work Of the
reclamation service, arrived in the
city Sunda. afternoon, visiting all the
local officers of the land office and re-
clamation service for the purpose Of
familiarizing himself with local con-
ditiOnS.
II have not come here to unearth
any land Frauds he stated Mel
Their inspection nor detection has
brought me to this city. 1 am here
merely to get acquainted with local
conditions.
There will be three or four thous-
and acres of land under the Teton
project thrown open for homestead
entry before long, but that is about
all | can say at present These lands
belonged to the government and were
Withdrawn when it was decided to
take up the project. The purpose was
to avoid such a contingency as might
easily occurred had homesteaders
settled on these lands with the idea
that water would soon be procurable
They would have had years to wait
without water and this would have
worked a hardship upon those settlers
who did not realize the length of
time required to complete such
gigantic undertaking as the Teton
project.
When these lands will be opened
to entry l cannot say. 1t does not
fall within my department. The re-
clamation service will make the an
nouncement whenever it feels that the
water is ready to be served on the
land in question"

day afternoon well pleased with the
work of the local Offices
