Portland Firm Asks Seven Times Last Year's Price Fore Ao-i-ount System Adopted. OREGONIAN NEWS WT.E.u:. Wash ington. April 21). An illustration of t!ie great increase in cost of construct ing: Irrigation canal? and structures in tne -Went, and the difficulty the Gov-t-rnment Is experiencing: in securing reasonable, prices was furnished when bids were opened at- Klamath Falls ffr the excavation of the Kenb canal. This contract, which Involved the ex cavation of 80.000 cubic yards of earth and rock, was advertised for more than two months, but only one hid was received that of Paquet. Gie lilsch & Joplin. of Portland, for $62. S29. An analysis of this bid showed that the contractor was asking 75 cents per cubic yard for earth excavation. Less than nine months ago the Gov ernment let a contract for work of this character at less than 10 cents per cubic yard, and out of 14 bids re ceived. IS cents was the highest amount Rfkcd. On the ground that the bid of the Portland firm was excessive, the See r 'ac of the Interior rejected it and authorized the Reclamation Service to do the work by force account.

FRUIT LOSS HALF MILLION FROST HAS DONE IMMENSE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE. PHOTO t-OST CARDS-SCENKRT. ,Kiser Co.-4-t Lobby Imperial Hotel. Walla Walla Berry Crop Total Loss. Apples Nipped Injury in Other Sections. WAtXA WALLA, 'Wash., April 29. (Special.) Reports continue to pour in of the immense losses sustained by fruitgrowers In this vicinity by the frosts of Saturday and Sunday nights. It is estimated by Charles Whitney, County Fruit Inspector, that the dam ages to producers of this county alone will approximate $500,000. while advices from the Lewiston, Kennewick and Yakima countries are startling-. Reports from Kennewick that prac tically all the early frudt in that sec tion, including-. strawberries, cherries, peaches and apricots, had been nipped in the bud, were confirmed today by a prominent fruitgrower of that place. Locally the situation is discourag ing, hundreds of trees loaded with bloom three days ago are now seared relics of what promised to be an un precedented yield. The Blalock Fruit Company and the Offner Company are the heaviest losers in Walla Walla County, the latter company claiming a loss of $30,000 to their apple crop alnne. The first strawberry crop, whloh would have been on the market in a few days, is a total ruin, with a loss of many thousands 'of dollars to the luckless producers. Cherries, peaches, apples ail apricots will not yield over oO per cent in this part of the country. MAKES CERTAIN OF HIS DEATH 3Ian Cute His Veins and Then He Plunges Into the River.

FtT SALOOX LICENSK $2000 Mayor Wright, of Tacoraa, Would Also Restrict "umbrr of Resorts.. TACOMA. Wash.. April 29. (Spe cial.) After lighting higher licenses and stricter saloon regulations for over a year, and after the experience of having the Council pass the present $1000 license unanimously over his veto. Mayor Wright has finally had a change of heart, and he now not only indorses the plans of Salmson, Presi dent Doud and other Councilman in their efforts for close saloon regula tion, but he outdoes them on some points. He favors gradually boosting saloon licenses until they will be $2000 a year, and limiting the number of sa loons. One saloon to every 1000 pso ple is believed by some of the Couh cllmen and ex-Councilmen to be the right ratio. An effort will be made to prevent the granting of any more licenses until the population of the city has in creased to a number that will justify more saloons at that ratio. It is prob able that a charter amendment will lie put to a vote of the people next Spring making that ratio the law.

The jury in the case of Warden La we vs. the Oak Point Piling & Lumber Com pany, which has occupied the attention of the court for three and one-half days, brought in a verdict for the defendant.
