He spent more than 10 daysTtne purpose or considering the action A special meeting of the city coun cil was held last night to consider the I'mpqua park bridge matter, but after considerable discussion the meeting waa adjourned with very little being accomplished In that di rection. At the last regular meeting of the council M. V. Payne, bridge con tractor, presented a bid for the con struction of the bridge. He made several alternate propose' on dif ferent types of structure, Including the overhead crossing for which ap plication has been made by the city. The plans were referred to the city engineer who after "going over the specifications found them to lie for a standard type of bridge and of here and bad 4, man or two help him so the county decided It waa cheaper to pay him the lump sum. Since reading of his extravagant claims about solving the murder and noting the amount of advertising he has secured out of the case, the county officials are tempted to ask hiia for a refund of part of it All unite In the -laim that ilay is the best press agent that ever struck Coos county and although be is a nice fellow, be came far from solving the Covell case u bis stories claim he did. o PETITES SELL IT to be taken on the bridge.

The Oregon Grow ers association haa Just consummated a sale of French prunes for shipment to Germany which probably establishes a record sale for prunes as far as the aniont of money involved Is con cerned. They were eold for practical ly 100,000,000 marks a prune, or 4. 900.000,000 marks a pound, as the prunes were sold at a rate of 111 for 110 pounds. This morning the mark was selling around forty-Beven billions to the dol lar, and as by evening they were ex pected to be selling at least 49 bil lions for the same hunk of American coin the record of one hundred million per prune 6eems to be fairly estab lished. V The association makes It plain, however, that It is not accepting pay ment in marks, but its sale is repre sented by good old American dollars. The prunes in question are petltes. all 40-50s and the sale Involves sev eral tons. All of them are for ship ment to Hamburg. While sales are made right along the market Is fairly quiet and not much doing generally. Predictions are being made by those close to the trade that 10 days or two weeks are liable to see some changes In the market and the general pro phecies are along the line of a rise, rather than a decline. whether or not the city has. or can raise, sufficient funds for the work Is another mater. There Is also nothing certain at the present 'Ime regarding the proposed j overhead crossing. The city does not feel that it has a right to 6 ahead with the contract until it has secured permission for an overgrade crossing and this matter is still In the air, and probably will not be settled for several months as the pub lic service commission has a full calendar for the greater part of the fall and winter. There is also no certainty regard ing the funds for the bridge. The structure Itself will cost In the neighborhood of J32HM). without the rlL'ht of way at both ends and other Incidentals which will probably bring the cost to nearly S35.000. The city has about $10,000 on hand for the bridge, and the county has agreed to give a like sum. but there ir nothing definite concerning the bal ance. Hecause of the uncertainty of tV whole project the council decided to give the mutter more investigation and the committee on current ex pense and accounts was Instructed to Investigate the condition of the city's finances and determine just how much money can be made available for bridge purposes. This committee will go over the flnane'.i and esti mate the expenditures for next year and will endeavor to give the coun cil specific lnfo.-matlon as to how much can be spent for this project. 4 (By Unltrd Press.) 4 4 SEATTLE, Oct. 25.

Tomllnson and Ceorge Stone, both of Myrtle Creek, are being held by county officers on a charge of mail robbery at Myrtle Creek. Stone is being held by Ju venile officers' and Tomllnson is in the county jail pending the outcome of the case. It Is alleged that the boys stole a mail sack off the mail crane and also entered the station at Myrtle Creek and stole the mall sacks which had been made read) for train number 13. Officers traced the boys by means of a tear in George Stone's coat. The boy has confessed, the officers state, to going through the window, which he says Tomllnson broke out with an Iron bar. A small Jagged piece of 'ass was left and in going through the window. Stone's coat was torn. When questioned regarding the crime, he is said to have broken down and confessed all of the details. Since obtaining his story officers have been searching for Tomltnson, who has been in Portland. Yester day the older boy returned home and was immediately arrested. He em phatically denies the crime and Is endeavoring to furnish an alibi. According to Stone, they secured about $50 taken from the mall sack stolen off the crane on the 8th and planned on Friday the 12th for the robbery of the station on the 1 :t t ta . They met about midnight, he says, and went to the station where Tom llnson broke out the glass in the window. Stone says he went' through first and that Tomllnson procured an axe from the oil slalion nearby and that they used it to break in the mall box. They took out the mail sacks and two Buttraije8. The suitcases were taken down the track a short dis tance and opened up and the .con tents ruffled up to appear as lf the cases had been robbed. They opened the sacks, he alleges, and Tomllnson ripped open the let ters and examined the contents of each of them. Stone says he does not know whether or not any money was procured as Tomllnson did not settle up with him. After the rob bery of the mall sacks, they were filled with rocks and dropped off the bridge Into the river, he says. Officers have been dragging, the stream in an effort to recover the bags. Postal authorities will probably take up the case and make a thor ough Investigation. Sheriff Stunn er. Deputy Stiambrook and Albert Stewart. Southern Pacific special agent, have been working oil the case for the past two weas. Tomllnson was arraigned this af ternoon before Justice of the Peacs ileorge Jones on a charge of bur glary and waived examination, being 'lound over to the grand Jury on $500 hall which was furnished. Tomlln irn is beln.'; held on a charge of en tering the d"pnt building, the mall robbery charge being left to the postal authorities. 0 ST. JOHN BETTER 4 4 4 4 W. E.
