Special Halibut Fishermen and Shipments of Live Beef Make Appetizing Inducements. SEATTLE. Wash.. Aug. 14. (Spe cial.) Guggenheim interests are em ploying a regular crew of fishermen to go out into the waters of the Pacific and fish for halibut to keep the 1200 men engaged on the construction of the Copper River & Northwestern sup plied with fresh fish daily. In so far as is known, the Copper River & Northwestern has established a precedent in its fight to give the la borers engaged in right-of-way work a diet as appetizing as any epicure could enjoy. The fishermen who gather in the halibut supply are carried on the payrolls just as regularly as the men who grub at the stumps on the line leading into the Copper River country or the rockdrillers who direct the nine Ingersoll drills that are ripping out the rocks that stand between Katalla and the Upper River country. It is almost impossible to hold rail road laborers In Alaska, and the Gug genheim interests, desperate in their efforts to complete 49 miles of road from tidewater to Abercrombie Rapids by the end of Fall, are willing to pro vide a bill of fare for the laborers that will satisfy all the workers. A short distance off Katalla a halibut bank has been discovered, and imme diately after the fish run was located the copper kings sent men north to fish the location religiously. Fish in any form the laborers on the road want is served dally or at less frequent periods if the appetite for fish palls. Every variety of meat that the men can suggest is taken into the Copper River district on the hoof for the Gug genheim men. The last boats that car ried construction materials northward carried big shipments of livestock which will be slaughtered in the north for the men in the railroad camps. There is wild game comparatively near by, but the Guggenheims have no men to spare to go hunting. Though the space on the specially chartered boats is badly needed for railroad materials, the supply of fresh meats Is being kept up by these special shipments. These efforts to satisfy the appetites of the laborers indicate the anxiety of the Guggenheims to keep the laborers at work on railroad construction. De spite such preparations, the desertion of more than 500 out of 1S00 men sent north has been reported These men went into the mining districts to pros pect, and of the hundreds that will be sent north later in the season a corre sponding percentage of desertions is expected. The railroad pays all trans portation charges, and this is attract ive to possible prospectors. PUTS LID OX AT ABERDEEN Move Brought About Through. Sun day's Shooting Scrape. ABERDEEN, Wash., Aug. 14. (Spe cial.) Mayor France, ,who has been waiting lor an excuse to close Aber deen saloons, evidently got one in the shooting affray which occurred Sun day night, for on Monday he an nounces his Intention of using his prerogative in putting on the lid. Mayor France, like a good many others who wanted the lid put on, couldn't stand for the interference of Hoqulam. notwithstanding that the moral point involved was above anything else, and so when he got a chance he availed himself of it. AH the cases which were to be taken up for alleged violation of the law have been postponed pending the decision of Mayor France and the car rying into effect of the order, if his order is complied with, then it is like ly all the prosecutions of those who have violated the law will be stopped, otherwise they will be carried forward as first Intended. But whether the shooting had occurred or not, there was a sentiment arising that would have finally put those opposed to Sun day closing to rout. Notwithstanding the belief outside that Aberdeen is a lawless town there are a great many law-abiding people here and It only needed the opportun ity to make them show their real feeling. MORE PAVEMENT FOR SALEM Contract Awarded for Three Blocks of Bltulithlc Paving. SALEM, Or., Aug. 14. (Special.) At a meeting of the property-owners on. Court street last nisht the bid of the Warren Construction Company for the paving of three blocks of Court street with bitulithlc pavement for $21,000 was approved, and tne City Council, at a special meeting tonight, accepted the bid and awarded the. contract accord ingly. This makes a total of 11 blocks in the business portion of the city upon which contracts for bitulithlc pavement have been let, and another ordinance is 'in course of preparation contemplating the like improvement of five blocks more oti Court stret, mak ing a total of 16 blocks that are pro posed to be completed this year. The first three blocks contracted for on State street, from Commercial east to Church, are. subject to completion before the close of this month, in con sequence of failure to comply with which condition the Wurren Construc tion Company is liable to a forfeiture of its bond and contract, but -owing to a series of complications arising cut of threataneu contests on the part of property-owners and the Portland Gen eral Electric Company, which is re quired to improve its line of track with Belgian block pavement upon a con crete base, nothing but a technical start has ever been made upon it. When Manager Arckambeau was in the city yesterday he was given to under stand that the City Council would hold him strictly to the conditions of the contract, and he has promised to in stall a plant and set to work upon the streot within a week.

DORA JENNINGS IS DEAD GIRL ACCUSED OF MURDERING HER FATHER PASSES OUT. Had Been In Physical eDcIine for Number of Months Her Brother Jasper Attends the Funeral. GRANT'S PASSi Or.. 14. (Special.) After a physically decline in health for a number of months, Dora Jennings, daughter of Newton M. Jennings, and brother of Jasper' Jennings, quietly died at the home of her relatives in this city last night of quick consumption. Dora was indicted jointly with her brother Jas per on September io, 1905, for the murder of her father at Granite Hill in this coun ty, and was tried before a Jury on April 26, 1907, and acquitted. Jasper Jennings did not fare so well in the hands of a jury and was convicted of murder in the first degree. An appeal was taken and a new trial granted by the Supreme Court. As soon as a new trial was granted a motion was entered for a dismissal upon the grounds of lack of evidence to con vict, which motion is now before the court, and Jasper is here in jail awaiting the outcome. It was expected that Dora before she died would make some confession throw ing light upon the circumstances of her father's death, as she was sleeping lrT the same room when he was killed, but if she knew anything about the case she has taken her testimony with her. For two weeks before death Miss Jen nings was delirious. Toward the last and she said neither she nor Jasper killed their father, but her mental condition was such that it is doubtful if the state ment would have any weight with a jury. The motion to dismiss the case against Jasper will receive attention at the Sep tember term of court and a final disposal of the matter will be made. He was al lowed to go from Jail to attend the funeral of his sister. Greeks Go on Strike. PENDLETON. Or.. Aug. 14.

In a fight waged before the County Board of Equalization today to prevent an assessment against the valuation of the company's franchise. the Seattle Lighting Company presented the novel theory that as the Gas Company had its conduits beneath the street it does not intefere with the municipal occupation of the surface and should not be taxed, for its right to monopolize the under ground stretches. Chairman R. Abraham, of the Equalization Board, and two other mem bers of the Board, fell in with the argu ment. The entire State Tax Commission was here to demand that the franchise be assessed at $1,500,000. the figure Asses sor Parish placed on it. No action was taken, but the Equalization Board stands four to three in favor of the Assessor' figures. OLD SORES The deep, underlying cause of every old sore is a bad condition of the blood. This vital fluid has become infected with some germ or poison which prevents the place from healing. This infection may be the result of an in active, sluggish condition of the system leaving the refuse matter in the body to be absorbed into the circulation instead of throwing it off through the usual channels of nature. Another cause is the weakening or polluting of this life-stream from hereditary taints, or from the effects of a long spell of sickness, leaving disease germs in the system. When the blood is in this condition a sore cannot heal because the impurities with which the circula tion is filled are being constantly discharged into the place to irritate and inflame the tissues and further disease the surrounding flesh. The only treatment that can do any good is one that removes the cause, and for this purpose nothing equals S. S. S. It begins at the fountain head of the trouble and drives out all germs, impurities and poisons, and then the place, being supplied with rich, pure blood, heals naturally and permanently. Local ap plications assist in cleansing the place, but a cure can only be affected through a purification of the blood. Book on Sores and Ulcers and any medical advice free.
