PUSHING WORK
ON BRIDGE PIER

Contractor ]. J. Lumsden is look
ing everywhere to get few men to
work on his contract for the new pier
OF the Main street bridge. He wants
experienced men whom he can rely
on. The work is going along well,
material being unloaded every day
and the wooden pier being built out
be located.
The big pier. which turned turtle
during the high water this spring, is
now nearly out of the water. and 1t is
easy to see how far down the foun-
dation was placed. II will be neces-
sary to sink the new concrete struct-
ure much lower and make it heavier
under the water line. The cost of
the new pier will be over $4,000.

TELEPHONES AND PRICES.

II will be difficult 10 convince the
average citizen that the high cost OF
living is due to the use Of the tiee-
phone In ordering household supplies.
But this is the theory advanced by
Mr. Mcdaniel, the Cleveland market
expert. says the Pittsburg Post, He
declares that the dealer is compelled
to get more for his products by rea-
son Of the necessity for delivering the
orders that arc received by wire, and
because the average kjusewife no
longer goes to market as she was
wont to do and carry her purchases
home in a wicker basket. The per
son of ordinary memory is inclined TO
the opinion that the delivery wagon
was as much necessity before the
telephone as II is today IN proportion
to population. In the Gays when the
trip to the market house was more
common than IL is nov the time of
the merchant was taken up far more
than at present in negotiating sales,
and it was common to have the goods
delivered
The telephone has lessened the
time consumed by the dealer with
his customer. The list is usually
made out in advance and read over
the telephone with as much dispatch
as possible; no examination of goods,
no discussion as TO price-nothing for
the dealer TO do but take the order
and prepare the purchases for deliv-
cry. When he sends in his bill it is
paid without clubbing SO much for
the telephone.
Mr. Mcdaniel is credited with be-
ing an expert marketer, but we are
inclined TO believe he has hit the
wrong trair' in his efforts to solve
the problem Of high prices. He evil
IDENTIFY oyerlooks the great question
of supply and demand, the lack of
adequate production and the steadily
increasing needs of the growing popu-
lation. Consumers arc increasing
and the output Of products is not keep
ing pace with the demands. There
must be more production TO meet the
requirements of the consumers and
when this is done there will be no
necessity for blaming the use of the
telephone as the secret of the high
cost of living.

MAIL BY AERoPLANE
Order of Formal Acceptance Was
Signed On Saturday Afternoon BY
Postmaster General Hitchcock.

POSTMASTER General HITCHCOCK,
Washington, May 13.--Postmaster
General Hitchcock Saturday signed an
order providing for an aeroplane mail
service between Washington and New
York, effective on or about May g.
The order was the formal accept
ance by the Government of the appli-
cation OF the Christmas Aeroplane
Company Of Washington, which last
week filed a bid with the department
asking for a mail route between
Washington and New York.
The ENTHUSIASTICALLY order re-
quires that the mail shall be carried
by a bonaide sworn carrier, and
without expense to the Government.
The route viii be known as No Co.,
002. The machine win ay pennant
bearing the words III. S. Mail"
Mr.. Hitchcock is much interested
in the carriage of mail by aeroplane
contending that the progress made in
the science OF aviation encourages the
hope that ultimately regular convey
ance OF postal matter by this means
may be practicable. Suca a service,
he believes, If found feasible might
be established in many districts
where natural conditions restrict 9TH
er modes of rapid transportation.
This particular experiment will be
watched with much interest by pos
tai experts, as it is understood that
an effort will be made by the aviator
to, carry at least 100 pounds of mail
without stop and with the quickest
possible dispatch. The fastest mail
trains running between New York
and Washington now require at least
five hours to make the trip between
the two cities.
Young Paul Peck, who expects to
make the initial fight, said Saturday
night that he could see no reason why
the distance should not be covered in

SCOTT SENDS GREETINGS

Roosevelt Appeals to Class Like

London, May 13.-Senator Nathan
B. Scott, of West Virginia, who is re-
turning to New York abroad the Lusi-
tania Saturday, said that it would be
real calamity if President Taft were
not reelected.
MIR. Taft certainly made a good
President, said Senator Scott II
fully agree with his aims in regard to
universal peace and his efforts to
bring this about by friendly treaties.
president Taft has given strong
support to the courts. 1t is absolute
ly necessary that the courts should be
respected and that the utmost loyalty
be shown to the Supreme Court of
the United States, for if that court
should be broken down the anchor of
our constitution would be lost and
the ships of state would go on the
rocks. Our whole form of government
is based on constitutional law and the
submission of the people to the rul-
lngs of the courts.
"Mr Roosevelt has his supporters,
but he appeals to class like those
you find sleeping in Hyde Park.
IF the Democrats nominate Speak
er Clark or Representative Under

the Republican candidate may be de-
feated, as this quarrel between Presi-
