HOQUiAM FIGHTS FOR
COMMON USER BRIDGE
Union Pacific Notified That No Fran
chise Will Be Granted Unless
Concession Is Granted

A committee representing the city
of Houuiam in it's controversy WIN
the Grays Harbor & Puget Sound
(Union Pacific railway company in
the matter of a common user bridge
at Simpson avenue, has notified the
railway officials that no franchise Will
be given the railway company
through the city unless the city's
rights to a crossing at this point are
protected
The Union Pacific held a permit
from the government to cross the Ho-
uuiam river at this point, and the
city, realizing this is the only place
on the river that structure can be
built to care for the growing traffic
of Hoquiam and Aberdeen, desires a
chance to cross also.
A proposition to build joint user
bridge has been discouraged by the
railway officials, who state that they
do not want such a bridge and have
placed the city's share of construc
ton at $4,000. This the city will
not pay, and instead has offered to
give lump sum of $4,000 as its
share.

Molasses as a Stock Food.

and those not receiving it 2.59 pounds.
The steers in this experiment were
about two years old and received one
fifth of gallon Of molasses per head

same station it was found that the ad-
dition of molasses to a ration Of cot
tonseed meal and hulls lowered the
cost and increased the gain and that
the addition Of molasses to balanced
ration gave larger gains as we'll as

There were no undesirable results

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Green Manuring on Clay Soils.


BY the following method a certain
Duluth (Minn.) suburbanite has sue
cessfully worked the stiff red clay OF
his garden plot into rich loan pro
ducing very satisfactory results. The
clay was of the stiffest red clay, the
kind that abOunds in northern Mime
sofa and Wisconsin. He turned the
sod under In the spring and sowed 1t
to rye and cowpeas as soon as prac-
ticable. Then in July. when the growth
was about eighteen inches high. he
turned the green stuff under, sowing
the ground again to rye and cowpeas.
In the fall the second growth was
turned under and the ground MANFRED
literally. The next spring he planted
the lot to potatoes. using the Burbank
and Rose varieties. From this plot.
60 by 60 feet, he took out last fall
thirty-fve bushels Of the finer sort Of
potatoes. The tubers were Of good
size, solid and the quality sound. One
of the specimens of Burbank weighed
two pounds. The crop will no doubt
be even better the second year, for
when this soil containing compounds
of iron can be MANFRED sufficiently to
produce grain and vegetables the iron
in the mixture adds greatly to the con.

NEGRO JAILED HERE

Monroe Authorities Feared Sheriff
Dulps Slayer Would Be Lynched;
Prisoner Confesses.

Fearing William Harris, coiored, the
confessed murderer of Sheriff Dull. of
Monroe, Mich, would be lynched II
left in the county jail in Monroe, the
authorities of that city. including
Acting Sheriff George Renner, brought
the prisoner to the Wayne county
jail, Detroit, Friday afternoon. After
his confession in Monroe. threats or
lynching were heard and an attack on
the Monroe Jail was feared. Feeling
against Harris was very bitter wien
ii became known he had admitted
shooting the sheriff. After coming to
Detroit Harris repeated his confes-
sion, which was taken down by the
police court stenographer.
Harris confessed to John A. Nc
Laughlin. of Toledo, head OF the de-
tective bureau of the Pennsylvania
railroad, and close friend OF the dead
sheriff. Harris told Mclaughlin that
when he was brought to bay by Sheriff
Dull, on Monday, for robbing Robert
Hayes he peacefully surrendered, bu.
that ne grabbed the sheriff's shotgun
when he thought 1t was too close to
him; that as he attempted to break
the gun the sheriff pulled the trigger
and 1t went of; that he and the
sheriff then scuffled and in the scram-
BILE he pulled his revolver and shot,
the bullet taking effect In the sheriff q
stomach. Then. Harris says, he fed
to the woods and hid for two days,
finally being captured by William
Reynolds and two other young farm
ers near Monroe, Thursday afternoon.
They ran him down in cornfield
after wounding him In the neck With
a rife shot To them will go the 81 900
reward offered for his capture.
Hayes. who was held up and robbed
on freight train by Harris, told the
authorities that Harris threw him of
the freight train after robbing him OF
10 cents. all the money he had. Harris
admits robbing Hayes. but denies
throwing him off the, car. He de-
clares that Hayes was frightened and

PHOTOGRAPHER IS
BUILDING A|RsH|P
]. T. Kerr Constructs Aeroplane On
Roof of Home, Studying Out Prob
lem as He Proceeds.

Having solved the problem OF build
ing handsome house with practic-
ally no money. j. T. Kerr. photo
grapher at No. 274 Dragoon-ave., Is
trying to solve the problem of build
ing an airship that will stay up in the
air without tipping. Kerr has the
house completed, but the airship Is as
yet only frame on the roof. TO date,
the house is the more interesting OF
the two. II Is of concrete, built by
the pouring method, and Is one OF the
sights of the neighborhood, standing
out white with somewhat Of the APP
pearance of a castle.
Kerr did not keep any accurate ac-
count of the cost, but according to the
figures he can gather. IL would run
somewhere In the neighborhood OF
$400 for the house and 30-foot lot. he
paid $500 for the lot itself. When he
commenced to dig for the. founda-
lions. however, he found beautiful
bed Of building sand, and below this
a layer of fine gravel AS the lot was
too high. he was able to sell OF two
carloads of gravel and several hun
dre6 loads OF sand, and have enough
left to build his house. He did all
the work himself. His cement cost
him $3.50, and lumber and windows
about $3.50 more. and he thinks tho
lot will stand little more sand being
hauled away. which will further re-
duce the cost.
Kerr's airship plans are less well
developed, but he Is confident OF sue
cess because, as he says:
II didn't have much idea what this
house was going to be like when |
started II. and this has come out
pretty we'll, and am starting to study
out the airship as go along"
Kerr hopes to get results from the
helicopter principle, with revolving
blades set at different angles to the
main body, so as to secure stability
and defeat the foolishness of any one
who should attempt to rock the
boat" He hopes to be able TO use
one of the new light weight Edison
storage batteries for power, believing
that II would be more dependable
than q gasoline motor. At present
his airship has gotten no farther than
a frame, 16 by by 5. on the roof Of
his house.
