A lecturer was annoyed by a man
in the audience who insisted on rising
and asking questions.
"Sit down, you asst" said second
man, jumping up.
"Sit down you, tool" cried a third
man; "you are both asses"
There seems to be plenty of asses
about tonight" put in the lecturer,
calmly; "but for heavens sake let us
hear one at a time.''
well, you go on then," said the

SPOKANE WEEKLY REPORT.
Provisions.

Butter-Quotations are ruling firm
and there are no Indications of
change for some time to come. There
is a shortage in local supplies and
most of the goods handled is shipped
in from the east.
Eggs-Quotations on local ranch
eggs remain unchanged with the mar
ket firm. If the present cold weather
changes the probability is that there
will be a break in the market. East
ern storage eggs have advanced a
trifle on account of the cold weather
in that section at present.
Poultry-No change has occurred in
the quotations of this department.
The market, however, is weak, as con-
siderable stock is now being brought
in. Dealers say that as soon as the
present cold weather abates there will
be a drop in prices on chickens. Quo
tations on ducks and geese remain
steady.
Fresh Meats-In this department
the only change in quotations has
been in the price of mutton, which
has advanced to II cents. mere is
still very noticeable shortage of beef
and quotations are holding firm. Nut
ton and pork are very strong. This
is due to the high price of beef, which
induces consumers to use more Of the
cheaper meat. At present there are
very few beef cattle brought to mar
ket, as the long drive to railroads in
the cold and snow would cause consid-
cradle shrinkage.
Hides and wool-Quotations are
quite weak. Wool has been weaken
ing for the last three weeks and the
present quotations are somewhat low
er than those of last week. This is
due principally to prospects of tariff
reduction.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Apples-Quotations and business
conditions remain unchanged. The de.
mand is very small and prices weak
Reports from New York state that the
apple market was in fairly good con
dition. Receipts were about equal to
the demand and there was little
change in prices.
Other Fruits-Quotations on other
fruits remain unchanged with the mar
ket steady and business in genera
satisfactory.
Enthusiastically there is practical
ly no activity in this department. Bust
ness is confined principally to a few
small sales by peddlers. Before long
however, seed potatoes will begin tt
move and then the market will take
on better tone. In the east there i!
already a good movement of seed pc
tatoes and conditions are improving
Tomatoes-Prices on tomatoes hav,
taken a radical drop and are nov
ruling at $1.75. This is due to tn,
fact that most tomatoes are now beini
sent in by freight along with othe
vegetables, whereas formerly the.
were sent in by express.
Celery-There has been a slight dc
cline in the market during the pas
week. The stock on the market nov
is quite small, consequently the sam
prices can not be expected.
Other Vegetables-No change is re
ported in quotations on other vegets

JERRY CONWELL MEETS WITH SERIOUS INJURY
Falls Over High Bank and Breaks Himself 10 Sled
and CrawIS Into II Unaided-Now Doing Nicely

Jerry Conwell met with a serious
accident Thursday afternoon while
gathering wood on his place in the
south part of the city. He had gone
up on the side hill with horse and
sled to gather some dry light wood
and was standing on the edge of a
bank about ten feet above the road
when he felt himself slipping off the
bank. He grabbed hold of what he
thought was green manZanita bush
to save himself and it proved to be
a dry one. 1t gave way and he fell
headlong to the road, striking in
such way as to break his left thigh
a short distance below the hip joint.
He succeeded in dragging himself
some distance to his sled and into
that and started for home. A short
distance down the road he struck a
stone with the sled, which stalled him,
but the Elliason boys and w. H. Day

Conway Homes
Are Appreciated

1t is very gratifying to see the
number of homes the Conway COM
pany is arranging for this section.
Cooperative companies like that con-
trolled by Mr.. Conway have done i'm
mense good for California, Washing
ton and middle western states.
Thousands of homes have been built
by such companies. Men engaged
in the business of home building on
the easy payment plan have system
atized their work to such a point
they save in every detail and can
build much cheaper than the aver
age small concern. The Conway COM
pany watches every bit of waste and
cuts it off; they pay cash for all they
purchase and get the discount. They
thus save for themselves and can af-
ford to make better prices than those
who build singly and in no system
attic manner
If the Conway company comes any
where near being as great a factor
here as in the other cities where it
has operated, Coos Bay can well be
, thankful for the Chamber of Com
merce having induced Mr.. Conway to
settle here.-Editoria in Marshfield
Record
The Conway company has just
closed contract for home for the
chief engineer of the big Smith mills
at Marshfield, which is the largest
saw mill in the world. The people
of Marshfield are giving Mr.. Conway
splendid reception in the building
field. he having contracted for as
much work there this season as he is
able to handle before the end of the
building season.

The Edison Talking Pictures.

Thomas A. Edison's Kinetophone,
which will be presented here for the
first time at the Dreamland, Septem-
Der -22, is masterpiece of crafts
manship and the entire civilized
world is marvelling today at the re-
suit of Wizard Edison's genius. The
Kinetophone, or Talking Pictures,
marks a new era in theatricals, fur
nishes a world of thought for pro-
ducers and managers, and, in short.
a revelation that has come to stay.
Marking as it does the climax of
other remarkable discoveries by Edi-
son, it is one that has Immediately
won popular favor with theatre audi
ences. Wherever these talking pic
lures are shown the sold OUT signs

Storage Meat
Aids English Poor

Chicago, Sept. 22.-That cold stor-
age is making new race of the Eng
lish was asserted by Georges Claude,
inventor of liquid air, in an address
last week before the third interna-
tional refrigeration congress in prog
ress here.
For years. he said, "So0,0 900 to
100000 cattle were slaughtered an
nually in Argentina for their hides
alone, the carcasses being left to rot
Now the British have learned that
in refrigerating ships, with cham
bers cooled by liquid air, this meat
can be taken to England and sold at
from 8 to 10 cents per pound profit.
1t is not equal to American meat, but
it is revitalizing England's poor, who
have lived a subnormal existence be-
cause they could not buy meat"

Boys with Matches
Set Dangerous Fire

Presumably three small boys set
fire in the pine woods of G. F. Bill
lings, west of his home places, yes
terday afternoon. Being over the
hill, it was not discovered until it
had gained considerable headway.
Mrs. j. w. Finnell, Mrs. Peterson
and her two daughters reached the
fire first and proved themselves
first-class fire fighters. Shortly af-
ter several men arrived and succeed
ed in preventing further spreading
and by use of water and dirt until
very late at night had the fire out.
Had the fire not been discovered
until fifteen minutes later or had the
wind sprung up, the fire would have
doubtless covered many acres, includ-
ing the fine timber on the Wagner
creek divide. When will parents
teach their children not to carry
matches and the consequences of set
ting fires?

NcMSpaper ROOSLing.

A newspaper gets. little credit for
being booster, says the Rolfe
Qowa) Arrow. AS general thing
they boost everything that comes
along in which the public is interest
ed from revival meeting to horse
race, and the common assertion is
that the paper needs the news to fill
up and consequently gets no credit
for the spirit shown. A newspaper
man could hang back in the traces
and do no pulling at all if he chose
to, for he could fill his paper with
boiler plate" at 10 cents column,
if he wanted to display the spirit
some people love to show. 1t costs
money to set type whether boosting
or just giving the news.
