Tacoma-In few days there will be
an unusual scarcity of watermelons on
the local market, according to some
commission men. The growers are
said to have miscalculated the melons
in the fields and made big orders they
could not fill. As result dealers have
Cancelled all orders for Southern melons
and will await the arrival of melons
from Fresno and Turlock. Reports
from the northern sections say the
melon crops are large and when once
the commodity begins rolling in there
will be plenty on hand.
Fancy green corn. is moving out as
never before on the focal boards. The
commodity is coming from Eastern
Washington and istjust the same as if
it was grown in local fields, arriving
here less than "a hours after it has
been picked. The corn is now moving
at 25 cents dozen, said to be a rea-
sonable price at this time Of the sea-
son. si-
Cherries are just about through.
Lamberts and Bings are no longer on
the market. What few cherries are
to be had are Of the Royal Ann and
Late Duke varieties, going at 8 and 6
cents pound, respectively.
1t will not be long now before Mala-
ga grapes begin arriving from the
South. Already there are some Sweet
water grapes to be had at So crate.
They are small and good and the trade
has taken to them instantly. Reports
from the South say the crop Of grapes
this season is about the same as last
year.
Eggs are firm and another rise would
not be surprising.
Butter is the same, but if the hot
weather continues rise may be ex-
pected.

The simple idea that makes the in
ventor successful is illustrated by a
new vest-pocket screwdriver capable
of fitting screws Of any size. 1t is
nothing but q disk of metal about the
size OF a large coin. The edge of the
disk is put into the slot of screw
like the blade Of an ordinary screw
driver. One edge is thin, for small
screws, and another is thick, with a
graduated thickness between the two
extremes for the purpose of having
an edge that will fit any slot.
A hole in the middle of the disk
gives a chance to slip in nail or
pocketknife, or anything else handy,
to be used as lever on tight screws

Chicago - Bodies of 300 persons
killed in the capsizing Of the steamer
Eastland at it's wharf in the Chicago
river had been recovered Sunday night
after 40 hours of searching by divers
around the steel hulk, still lying on its
side, half-submerged, where it rolled
Saturday while laden with 240S excur-
sionists.
The total dead as result of the
turning over of the ship still remains
at approximately 1000, according to
estimates made by Coroner Hoffman,
whose reports indicated that probably
200 bodies still were held in the mud
of the river by the superstructure Of
the overturned boat.

Chicago = A thousand persons lost
their lives in the Chicago River Satur'
day by the capsizing of the excursion
steamer Eastland, while warping from
its wharf with more than 2400 en-
ployes Of the Western Electric com
pany and their relatives and friends OF
board, bound for a pleasure trip across
Lake Michigan.
After ceaseless work all day and fal
into the night, the bodies of 842 vic
Tins of the catastrophe, most Of them
women and children, were collected
from the temporary morgues and taken
to the Second Regiment armory.
When these bodies had been tagged,
Coroner Hoffman, taking into consid-
Grafton estimates of bodies thought to
be in the hold of the steamer lying on
its side in the river and in the stream
itself, said he had hopes that the total
dead would not exceed 1000.
The Eastland, said by marine archi-
tects to have been top-heavy and bal
lasted in an uncertain manner, turned
over inside Of five minutes after ii
began to list, pouring its passengers
into the river or imprisoning them in
its submerged hull.
Every effort was made by thousands
of persons on the river wharf to rescue
the drowning men, women and chill
dren, but many drowned almost within
grasp of the river bank.
Mothers went to death while their
children were snatched to safety.
Other children died in the arms Of
their parents, who were finally saved.
Hunrdeds Of girls, freed for a day
from their tasks of making telephones
and other electrical apparatus in the
factory of the Westeron Electric COM
pany, dressed in their smartest white
frocks, drowned miserably.
