BRIDGE TENDING

Secures Advice From State
Labor Commissioner to
.. Follow S-Hour Law

Some progress was made, at We'd

city, council. towards awarding con-
tract for swinging the Heron street
bridge The council, the week before,
was reluctant to take advantage of a
bid by C. M. Copper to perform the
work for $3.50 year, $54O less than
the figure at which the present bridge
tenders, Robert Graham and j. F.
Church, were willing to continue their
contract. If the movement started or
Wednesday night, to let the contract
in accordance with the state labor law,
be pushed right along the work Of
swinging the Heron street bridge will
be done for $2,7OO year, intsead Of
the $2,100 for which Graham G Church
offer to do it, or the $1,56O a year
which is asked by Copper. Which is
some progress.
Councilman E. E. Wieland started
the ball, Wednesday night, with mo-
tiOn that all bids for swinging the
bridge be rejected and that the city
engineer be instructed to employ three
men at a wage of not to exceed SIS
month for an eight-hour day for each,
which would amount to $2,700 a year

'C0NDUCTORLESS
CAR IS SOCIABLE
Passengers and Motorman
Have Opportunity to Ex-
change Conversation
Motorman Conductor Miles
Doesn't Mind Public's
Forgetfulness

There is something sociable about
the conductorless car which started
operation, Wednesday, on the Broad
way-North B street line of the Grays
Harbor Railway & Light company.
You feel tempted to, and probably do,
ask the motorman how he likes his job,
for one thing. That leads up to con.
versation, thing impossible when the
motorman was shielded from the pub.
lie.
1t must be admitted that the Broad
way-North B street line has never been
SO heavily patronized as to make the
job of either motorman or conductor
an onerous one. Doubtless the innova-
tion would not work so happily on a
crowded line; but seemingly it does
work to perfection on the Broadway
cars.
Motorman-C Conductor w. E. Miles
will have job educating the travel
ing public to pay as it enters. But he
does not mind it. During these first
few days he does not expect the public
to remember to hand over it's nickle
upon entering the car
you've forgotten to pay Doc" he
calls over his shoulder; and DOC,
just settling comfortably in his seat,
gets up with grin and marches back
with the coin.
Or, If it is a woman, Motorman-Con-
'ductor Miles doesn't say anything. She
pays as she goes out
"You see, know 'em ALL" says
Miles.
The conductorless service was in
augurated in Hoquiam, also. on Wed
nesday, and is reported to be working
as smoothly as here. The schedule
is maintained as before the change
The 30 minute service on the Broad
way.North B street line begins at $3.50
a. m. when the first car leaves Sixth
and Division, discontinuing at 1900
p. M, when the last car leaves Sixth

Poultry Fanciers Of Hequiam

Auction Choice

a novel poultry auction scheme in

settings Of eggs, baby chicks and
breeding stock may be held the latter
part of March.
1T is too early" says Dr. Lane, "to
tell whether we can hold another
auction. later. The chances for that
must depend upon the success attain
ed by the first auction.
"The place for holding the auction,
too, is point still to be settled. Ho-

They are working enthusiastically for
the auction, now. There are others
who say that Aberdeen is the logical
place. from its geographical location
1t may be good idea to hold a con-

donating the most eggs and stock being
the winner.
