congress is waiting to work out more
systematic and comprehensive plan
looking towar'5 the establishment OF a
parcels post or a parcels express, there
Is no reason Why little amendment to
the present postal laws should not be
made at once increasing the weight OF
packages to be transported by mail
from four to eleven pounds. In going
upon record in favor of a parcels post
Of parcels express, am not committing
myself unQualifiedly to the present
postage stamp theory of transporting
packages indefinite distances at the
same rate. There is much argument
for the zone theory upon heavy pack
ages but that is q matter that does not
belong TO a discussion OF this nature.
1.-The examination which l have made
of this questi0I couvinceS me that oar
people are being subjected to no greater
abuse by any form of transportation
company. or any public service corpor-
alton. than by the excessive charges
which they are compelled to pa, in
order to transport matters by express
That the movement for an inquiry
into express rates is Widespread was
noted by Mr.. Cosson. Two members
of congress have just introduced reso-
buttons calling for an Investigation.
Hundreds Of commercial bodies have
asked the interstate commerce commits
sion to order reduction in rates. IT.
vestiga lions have been made or COM
merced in a dozen states. But" said
Mr. Cosson, Il think every one VINO
has crdeavOred TO make some inyes.i-
CATION with reference to the rules and
p-a ctices Of express com nanies and The
yeasonableness Of the rates ana the
method by which they are made has at

DIES MONIES, Ia, July 9.-Mar-
shaltown is dry today for the first
time in seventeen years. with the ex-
ception of a brief period last sum-
mer. when the "grog'' shops closed
pending an injunction. Twelve sa-
looms in that city. operating under
the mulct law, closed at 10 o'clock
last night.
There was a big rush and every
drop of beer in the town was sold be-
for 9 o'clock All the saloons made
cut rates on bottled goods
The twenty-five saloons which fail
ed to obtain permission to continue
business in Cedar rapids were closed
today There are now only thirty
two saloons there. each paying H.
cense of $4,000. The liquor and fix
lures are being removed from the sa-

Local Men Are Unable to Rent 1t
as Fruit Packing Warehouse
for the Season
WILL NOT BE OPERATED
THE PRESENT SEASON
Kumor Is Afloat That Local FL
nanciers Are Now Trying to
Pick 1t Up to Have 1t in Readi-
ness for Another Year

A rum or has been in circulation for
several days to the effect that a por-
ton of the Russell cannery was to be
leased as a warehouse for the hand
ling and shipping of fruit There is
splendid floor space available there
and it was said that fruit was to be
packed there for shipment. While
it is yet possible that such an ar
rangemcnt may be made, The Herald
is informed by a man who made in
quirics that the plant is not obtain
able al this time for such use. 1t is
understood, however. that the plant
is for sale at reasonable price.
There is little likelihood that it will
be operated this season The fruit
supply this year is small in compar-
ison With what was expected. While
no person connected with the game
lis looking for high prices on the or
chard products it is expected that the
average will be beyond what a can
merry would be willing to eXpcnd for
fruit for manufacturing, Moreover,
there will not be a large proportion
of the total yield which will be OF a
cannery calibre, the greater part be-
ing of too high a grade. This means
that the plant will be compelled to
remain idle for another season.
As the present prospects are that
another year will see an immense
quantity of fruit in tho Yakima coun-
try and as the growers and business
men have already begun to plan for
the manufacturing operations of that
season the rumor is afoot that some
people are figuring on the purchase
now of the Russell plant on the the
DRY that this is the time when it can
be bought at the lowest figure. The
Yakima men who made an effort Ia
lease a portion of the plant were un-
able, however to ascertain that there
is any such definite movement on foot
which has been carried up to the
point of negotiations with the owners
Just why, on the other hand, no deal
would be made for the use of the
floor space they were unable to learn

c. {. LUM TO BUILD
TOPPEN|SH BRIDGE
No Action Taken for Police
Matron Pending Coming
Election

The county commissioners on Fri
day disposed Of a large number of
bills and awarded the contract for
building the Toppensh bridge to
Charles f. Lum, of North Yakima,
his bid being the lowest Hla put in
a bid of $2,340 for a 160-foot span, to
rest on two piers. He specified steel
filled piers in his bid, but the county
commissioners had him change to
their specifications concrete piers, and
he acquesced. Seven thousand feet
of lumber at $22 per thousand for the
approaches with the piers bring the
cost of the bridge up to about $4,000.
The mattGM of cooperating with
the city council in the appointment
of police matron was brought up
by Councilman Shaw and Car
Yer who were present to represent the
police committee of the council. 1t
was the feeling Of the councilmen
that the commission form of govern
ment would win out at the coming
election, and they stated that any
body they might appoint would be in
office but a few months at the most.

sioners, who thought it best not to
make any appointment until after the
election and the change in govern
ment had been effected. The coun-
cilmen believed that under the new
form of government there would be
an entire change OF program in con-
nection with the police departm ent
and they coincided with the commits
sioners in the belief that it would be
best to POSTPONE any acton in the
matter,
Attorney Thompson appeared be-
fore the commissioners in behalf Of
his client c. Bradshaw. who recently
secured a Judgment in the superior
court against the county for damages
in the sum of $4,000 because of in
juries received in an accident while
building a bridge. There was some
discussion of the matter of paying
the damages rather than take an APP
peal, the attorney for Bradshaw in
timating that some concession might
be made if that were done. No an
swer to the proposition was made
Friday, the commissioners and Pros
ecuting Attorney Ward stating that
an announcement would be made Sat
urdav as to the intention of the coun-
~ officials in the matter.
