CUT COST OF LIVING.
Immense Fruit Crop Will Bring Prices
Way Down.

Chicago-Stop eating meats and
vegetables and live on fruit. This is
one way to decrease the cost of living.
Never in years has there been better
prospect for bumper crops in all var
ieties of fruit, say commission mer-
chants.
Prices are to be slashed from third
to half under those of last year.
Here are few of the predicted retail
prices: Concord grapes, 16 to 18
cents basket; peaches, 25 cents a
one-fifth bushel basket; apples, 81. rs
to SO barrel (all varieties); pears.
$l.b0 a bushel; plums, 81. so bushel.
South Water street merchants esti-
mate that fully 10000 carloads of
fruit will be shipped from the Michi-
gan fruit belt this fall. Not only
from Michigan but from Eastern vine
yards and orchards, come the same re-
ports of bumper crops.
The first of the Michigan peaches
the early Alexanders, were shipped
from Ludington August 4, fully two
weeks earlier than in the previous
years. This is not the best variety.

LIVERPOOL IN TERROR.


Liverpool-A reign of terror exists
here and troops are pouring into the
city to put down disorder. A special
guard has been detailed to protect the

steamers which, it is asserted, the
rioters have planned to destroy by
fire.
Five prison vans escorted by 80
soldiers who were carrying riot pris-
oners from the police court to Waltz
am Jail were attacked by 5000 men,
bers of the toughest class in Vauxhall
street. The mob threw missiles of
every description and in defending
themselves the hussars fred.
At first blanks were used by the
soldiers, and then ball cartridges
One man was killed and many persons
were severely wounded. The troops
then charged with drawn sabers and
cleared the street. So daring were
the rioters that one of them tried to
unhorse an officer, who was obliged to
use his revolver, wounding the man
severely.
Another less serious ARRAY in which
the troops were again compelled to
hire took place in Bond street. Only
few persons were injured.

Chicago = Two aviators, William

tombstone, of Chicago, both young
men, lost their lives In the interna.
tional aviation meet here.
Both accidents revealed the fraiIty
of the machines in which the aviators
were gliding about the air with
scarcely pause.
Badger, wealthy young man, came
TO his death in pit in the aviation
field. There had been flaw in one of
the wings of the propeller of the Bald
win machine he drove.
Centrifugal force broke the propel-
Ter and upset the delicate equilibrium
of the machine, and Badger dashed
100 feet to the bottom of the pit. His
neck was broken.
tombstone fell 500 feet under his
engine and was drowned. Caught
under the heavy engine in the Mois-
SAINT monoplane, he was carried deep
into Lake Michigan, and his body was
not brought to the surface until an
hour later.
Badger lived three-quarters of an
hour after he had been extricated
from the wrecked machine. He did
not recover consciousness. Thirty-fiye
Flyers have dipped and glided here for
three days. and this was the first fatal
accident. Three aviators fell but were
unhurt.

'FAVORS NEW LOCKS
Engineers Turn Down Offer Of P.
R. |. 8 P. Company.
Price Is Deemed River
Would Not Have to Be Closed
During Construction.

Washington, d. C.-The Secretar,
OF war will soon approve the report o.
the army engineers recommending the
construction of the new canal anc
locks on the east side of the Willamette
river at Oregon City, at an estimated
cost of 1854, 900, and immediate steps
will be taken by the government to ac-
quire the necessary right of way. 1t
is estimated that four years will be
required to build the canal after the
right of way is obtained.
The army engineers have agreed
with the opinion expressed some time
ago by Major McIndoe that it is bet
ter and cheaper to build canal on the
east side of the river than to acquire
the existing west side canal now
owned by the Portland Railway, Light
q Power company, and rebuild and
enlarge it.
Not only is it found cheaper to build
the new canal, but by the adoption of
this plan the willamette will be kept
open to continuous navigation during
the time the canal and locks are under
construction, whereas navigation
would have to be suspended for from
l8 months to three years if the west
side canal should be rebuilt.
1t is estimated that engineering
work on the proposed canal and locks |
would cost 1924, 900, and that $780,
600 additional would have to be spent
on right of way. This is very much
cheaper than the cost of purchasing
and rebuilding the old canal, for the
engineers estimate that total expen-
diture of 81, 142, 500 would be neces-
5ary to make this canal suitable for
all commerce.
Inc engineers propose to construct
canal with locks 45 feet wide and
300 feet long, with navigable depth
IL six feet. This is the same depth
as the channel below the Willamette
Falls.
While the cost of the proposed new
canal and locks is 1854, 900 greater
than the amount originally thought
necessary, the engineers are of the ,
opinion that work should be under
taken in the interest of free naviea- .
lion. Oregon has appropriated
$500, 600, and congress has appropria-
LED like amount, of which ST. {
mas been expended in surveys and es-
Inmates. Therefore it will require an
additional appropriation by congress l
u $lb9, 600 before the canal can be
completed, but with 5000, 900 immedi-
lteiy available, no further appropria- l
ION by congress will be necessary be- '
ore 1915, in the view OF the engi- I
leers, who are of the opinion that '
'regon, having appropriated $500, 600,
as borne its fair share of the cost, o
nd they recommed that conrgess, at Fl
ne proper time, appropriate the ne ly
essary remainder. a

figure are greatly exaggerated.

the British government made such
earnest efforts to ward off a great la
Dor war, yet they have been unable to
stay the government that threatens mis-
