Highway Commission Lets Contract
for Span at Nesika, Wash.
Chehalis- that the state high
way commission had awarded the con-
tract for the construction of the bridge
across the Cowlitz river at Nesika
has been received here. The success
full bidders are Hunley e Henry, of
Hoquiam, Wash, and the price is $685.
644.92.
Six bids we're received and the state
and Lewis county will share the ex-
pense equally. Preparatory to using
this bridge extensive road improve
ments have been made on state road
No. S, in the Rife and Nesika neigh
borhoods and across the Cowlitz in
the Kosmos neighborhood, so that
next spring when the bridge is COM
pleted it will be put to immediate use.
Construction Of this bridge is of
great interest to residents of the en-
tire Big Bottom section, as it will
make possible the maintenance of an
automobile stage line from Chehalis
to Randle for freight and passenger
service, a distance Of IS miles. It is
planned to build the piers for the
bridge this fall during the stage of
low water, so that it can be completed
just as early in 1914 as possible.

APPLE PRICES ARE GOING UP
Wenatchee Dealer Will Sell No More
at Low Figures.

at Low Figures.
Wenatchee-"We have sold some
apples," said Conrad Rose of the We
natchee Produce company. 81 fixed
the price at which I felt sure eastern
dealers would take up the bills of
lading cheerfully and cash the drafts
quickly. l wanted dealers to feel sure
of making money on their first buy Of
Wenatchee apples this season. Since
those figures were fixed reports on
the apple yield of the nation have
been changing. Estimates are now
much lower than month ago. For
this reason apple prices are on the up
ward trend. We are making no more
sales at the opening figures. We are
selling, but prices are now higher.
"This year I figure that we must
play the game safe. 1t is not year
for gambling. When our pockets are
full of money and obligations are not
pressing we can Oxford to play with
the markets little, but the growers
all tell me they want a good, fair price
and must have the money in October
and November with final settlement
not later than December. To do this
l had to begin selling apples right
away. I can see daylight now. The
big dealers are doing business without
quibbling. We can count on an active
market"

CANNING EGGS NOW FEASIBLE
Chemistry Department Shows What
Precautions to Observe.

Precautions to Observe.
Washington, D. C.-The food re-
search laboratory of the bureau of
chemistry is conducting experiments
in several egg-breaking establish
ments to assist the manufacturers in
canning perfect eggs for Winter use.
According to the specialists of the
department there is no reason why
eggs cannot be broken, canned and
kept as an excellent food, just the
same as other products are canned
and kept for use when the fresh sup
ply is low.
Under the new system the eggs are
canned in rooms and with utensils
that rival in cleanliness the appoint
ments of the hospital operating
Everything is sterilized and those who
actually break the eggs have to clean
their hands much as surgeon does
before operating. Each egg before be-
ing broken is candled and nothing but
perfect eggs come into the breaking
room. Each egg is broken separately
into cup. If, by any chance, the egg
is other than first-class, it is not
dumped into the can, but is removed
from the breaking room and before
the breaker can resume work she
must clean her hands and sterilize all
the instruments she has used.
The actual breaking is done with
eggs at a low temperature and in a
room where the air is cold enough to
prevent any change in the nature of
the egg. The cans Of eggs are then
sealed and frozen and kept frozen I'M
til they go to the baker at the time
of egg shortage.

CARS SAVE LIVES
Passengers Hurt Only BY Being
Tossed Around In Cars.

New Madison, O.-An all-steel train
probably saved score of lives when
the Pennsylvania flyer was ditched by
a raised rail near Wylie's Station, four
miles west of here, and IS persons
were injured. Three, it Is believed,
were fatally hurt, and Is are in hos
pital at Richmond, Ind.
Running at terrific speed to make
up lost time, the fast train struck the
defective rail so feet from the ap-
proach of a small steel bridge. The
train ran along the cross-ties until the
locomotive hit one side Of the bridge,
tore it from its foundation and fell
with it half dozen feet to the creek
bed. Six steel coaches were flung
to the other side OF the track and
turned over In cornfield.

FREE BUSINESS is VICTORIOUS
President Wilson Highly Pleased With
Tariff Measure.

Tariff Measure.
Washington, d. C.-President VII
son issued the following statement on
the tariff vote:
"A fight for the people and for free
business which has lasted long gen
Grafton, through at last, has been
won handsomely and completely. A
leadership and steadfastness in coun-
sci has been shown in both houses
of which the democratic party has
reason to be very proud. There has
been no weakness or confusion or
drawing back, but statesmanlike d.
rectness and command OF circum-
stances.
Il am happy to have been connect
ed with the government OF the ma
ton at a time when such things
could happen, and to have worked In
association with men who could do
them. There is every reason to be-
lieve that currency reform will be
carried through with equal energy,
directness and loyalty to the general
interest. When that is done this
first session Of the Sixtythird con-
gress will have passed into history
with an unrivalled distinction.
II want to express my special adj
miration for the devoted, intelligent
and untiring work Of Mr.. Underwood
and Mr.. Simmons and the commit
tees associated with them"

HOUSE YIELDS TO SENATE.
Low Tariff Rates Being Accepted In
Most Instances.

Low Tariff Rates Being AccePteo ~
Most Instances.
washington, d. C.-With the minor
ity members Of the conference com
mittee barred from the proceedings,
the Democratic majority in charge OF
the final work on the tariff revision
bill began Friday its work OF adjust
ing conflicts between the Senate and
House. At the end of short after
noon session the Democrats had start
ed work on the chemical schedule OF
the bill and Representative Under
wood and Senator Simmons predicted
that progress toward complete agree
ment would be speedy and harmon1-
Gus.
The Democratic conference will not
call the minority conferees in until
thew have settled all phases OF the
tariff dispute.
In the session the House members
Yielded to the Senate on the majority
of amendments, accepting the Sen
ate's lower rates on most OF the dis
puted items. The reductions made
by the Senate on coal tar dyes, includ-
ing alizarin and anthracene, were ap-
proved and the Senate rates on soaps
were sustained, although the language
of the paragraph was changed at the
suggestion of the House members.
A compromise was made on the item
of chlorate of potash, which the House
had taxed at 1 cent a pound, but
which had been placed on the free
list by the Senate. 1t is understood
the compromise will be based on prac-
tically an even division Of the House
rate.
Senator La Toilette intimated that
he considered the procedure of the
Democrats unusual in working over
the bill without their associates NAM
ed from the two houses, but other
members of the committee said the
method pursued was in line with pre-
cedents established in other tariff re-
visions.

SLAIN BY EsklMos
Quarrel Was Cause Of Tragedy. Kept
Secret Two Years.

Winnipeg, Man.-Killed by Eskimo
guides is the fate reported to have be-
fallen Harry v. Radford and George
Street, two explorers who left here
two years ago to essay the perilous
Journey from Chesterfield Inlet, Hud-
son Bay, to Bathurst, on the Arctic
Ocean. Their intention was to in
vestigate the possible value of the ter
ritory already partially explored by
other expeditions.
Radford was an American and
Street a resident of Ottawa.
According to the account which
reached Winnipeg by mail the two
explorers set out from Fort Churchill
on the west coast of Hudson Bay, in
the autumn of 1911, for Chesterfield,
where is established the most north
ern post of the Hudson Bay Company
in that region.
What the Eskimos are said to have
told recently is that the trip to Schultz
Lake was made in safety and the two
white men there made a bargain with
the interior natives to guide them back
to their country. There had been no
indication of ill-feeling or friction,
they said, everything going smoothly
until the day of departure. Then, as
the sleds were being loaded, Radford
got into an alteration with one Of the
tribe about the proper adjustment Of
the binding thongs, and, according to
their story, in his anger kicked the
man.
Instantly the Eskimo grasped his
spear and before Radford could de-
fend himself the weapon was driven
into his breast. Street, according to
the story, was Harvesting up dog
team at the time and seeing his COM
panion fall, picked up his rifle to go
to Radford's assistance. The Eski-
mo with whom he was working, the
story alleged, attacked Street from be-
hind. A spear was thrust into his
back and Street, too, fell mortally
wounded.
