In the morning GLOWING we had
breakfast and were at work by day

the big starboard anchor, giving plen-

at work on the windlass.
Three days / worked on that wind
lass. Least OF all things was a
mechanic, and in that time | accom-

would have done in as many hours. I
had to learn my tools to begin with.
and every simple mechanical prin-
ciple which such man would have
at his finger ends | had likewise to

old windlass had given, but it worked
and made my work possible.
In half day got the two topmasts
aboard and the shears rugged and

slept on board and on deck beside my
work. Maud, who refused to stay
alone ashore, slept In the forecastle.
Wolf Larsen had sat about, listening

on either side to the destruction Of
the shears; nor did he say anything
further about my leaving his ship
alone. But still had feared him, blind
and helpless and listening, always
listening, and I never let his strong
arms get within reach of me while

On this night, sleeping under my be-
loved shears, I was aroused by his

The prevailing cost Of hauling over
the public roads of the United States
is about 20 cents per ton per mile.
More tran 350.0oO,000 tons are hauled
over these roads each year, and the
average haul is about eight miles.

an Exciting Experience in Trip
to Rock Island.

The bows down in Muscatine will
hear about it tonight, how Frank
Hull and j. E. Augustine cut capers
around Rock Island the last couple of
days. They'll be surprised at the tales
they tell of the big doings on tap just
across the river from Davenport and
how money flies just as though it had
wings. They'll be anxious, too, to
come up and see for themselves how
man and money separate friendship IN
short order, for Hull and Augustine
are lust chuck full OF exciting expert
ences.
"Augie" and Hull had $3.50 Wednes-
day when they arrived in Rock Island.
Today they had the most awful time
trying to raise the mazuma to settle
I'D a couple of fines, for fellow can't
very we'll spend whole hundred and
more dollars in a short time without
getting "ketched," for those horrid cop
pers always want to spoil a good time
for fellow.
The boys from the watermelon cen
ter hadn't dressed up specially for the
occasion. They just came in their
working clothes, but they had the
money, and that counts when the good
time comes in.
The first thing that they did last
night, which wasn't very proper for
strange boys to do, was to walk into
the residence of John Sensebaugh,
2107 Fifth-and-a-'1 IF avenue. They
looked around awl u and then walked
out. The police were informed.
When the officers traced them to
their next stopping place, Austin
Mills restaurant on Twenty-second
street near Third avenue, the coppers
found them just raising the biggest
rumpus And so today it cost them
a whole lot to get even again. Monkey
ing with the strong arm of the law i
no ten-cent store bargain and they had
to scrape and dig to raise $4240. the
total of their fines. Each was fined
$40 and costs, or S14.20. for walking
into Sensebaugh's residence That
cost $3.50. And then there was IS
and costs each, or $40 each, for
raising a rumpus in restaurant.

house in Old Tacoma, was Saturday
sued for divorce and alimony of $3.50

ton comes on top of Englehart's SEN

On which charge he was recently con-
victed in the courts of King county

cident April 16 last, when a woman

that she sued for and was granted

LUMBER ORDERS PILE UP.
Mills Further Behind Than for Years,
Association Reports.

Unshipped lumber orders for
tIanscontinental rail tclivery now
exceed 5000 carloads, according TO
the weekly trade statement of the
West Coast Lumbermen's associa-
ton. There has not been a time in
recent years when untitled orders
have shown such an accumulation
not even during the severe car short
age of 1907.
Last week, in the transcontinental
lade. new business taken on amount
ed to 2,410 carloads, while sni
ments by rail only amounted to 1,J2A
carloads. Orders for future rail de-
livery exceeded rail shipments for the
week by approximately 20,675,CoO
feet, or 1884 per cent.
In it's summary of weekly condi-
tions in all branches Of the lumh ar
trade the West Coast Lumbermen's
association advises that orders ex-
ceeded actual production by 7.45
rer cent; that shipments. notwith-
standing the spurt in the cargo trade,
we're 2O.99 per cent below normal.
and that the combination of all
orders exceeded combined shipments
1888 per cent.

TAKE OVER SHINGLE MILL.
Formally Organize Com.
pany to Operate Plant.

The 23 employees who have cooper
atively operated the shingle mill on
the Carlyon fill, have disposed of the
property to the Olympia Shingle COM
pany, recently organized by them, for
$4,000, the new firm assuming all
the liabilities of the old.
The recent boom in the shingle
market has resulted in the company
making plans for the installation of
new saws and other equipment which
will increase it's production to $50, 900
shingles per day, and the plant is
also to run overtime during the next
few weeks, to take full advantage Of
the market.

Some of them declared secretly that

Wilson was reelected. On the other
hand, they charged that the railroads

The conference failed of any agree
ment on operation of the law and a

SENATE TO PROBE
BIG DOODLE FUND
DEMOCRATS CHARGE REPUB.
LICANS SPENT $7,OOO,OOO IN
HUGHES CAMPAIGN.

Plans were completed this week by
administration leaders for a senate
Investigation into charges that the
Republican national committee spent
hundreds of thousands of dollars lille
gally in the national campaign.
The matter has been discussed by
President Wilson and senate leaders,
resulting in a decision to begin the
investigation shortly after congress
convenes in December, it was learned
from official quarters.
A general assemblage of Democrat
IL senators in Washington the fore
part of this week caused reports
which were denied by all officials, that
a special session of congress would be
called.
From administration officials close
to President Wilson 1t was learned
that Democratic National Chairman
Mccormick has received what he
claims to be positive evidence that the
Republican national committee col
leoted more than $3,000,000 in Wall
street just prior to the election and
spent large part of this in Indiana
and West Virginia. The total ex-
lenditures of the Republicans were
said to be more than $7.000,000.
1t was learned that the department
of justice has been conducting Sc
cret investigation into the amount of
money spent during the campaigns
as we'll as of illegal voting. Although
this investigation touched the Demo-
Gratis as we'll as the Republican ex-
penditures it was ordered by Attorney
General Gregory after a conference
with Vance Mccormick in New York
when they discussed reports that the
Republicans had accumulated a large
secret fund.

CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT.
President to Ask Congress to Stop
Huge Campaign Expenditures.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. IL
n corrupt practices act, with teeth,
will be one of the first pieces of leg
iGlation which President Wilson will
ask of congress. Just what form it
Will take is not yet decided on, but it
is certain that it will limit expendi-
lures of money by national commit
tees in presidential and cOngression-
al elections.
1t will also be so drawn that a stop
will be put to enormous expenditures
by individuals on their own respon-
sibility. According to information
reaching here, much of the latter was
done in the recent campaigns and
both parties had the benefit.
