NEW DOCK STARTED
Contract Let for Wharfage Fa
cilities by Southern Pacific.
TRACKAGE TRESTLE BUILT
Incase Under Consideration for Part
or Xew Storage Plant on Water
front at Bridgeport and O.-W.
R. & X. Work Is Kushed.
' Guthrie, McDougall & Co., having a
contract with the Commission of Public
Iocks for the construction of Municipal
Dock No. 2, between liast Oak and East
Stark streets, were awarded a contract
yesterday by the Southern Pacific Com
pany for a dock to extend from the
aat approach of. the Burnside-street
bridge to the foot of last Olisan street,
practically connecting with the present
Oregon At California dock south of the
Olobe elevator. A start has been made
on the Southern Pacific, property by
building a trestle for a spur track from
the East Side yards, and yesterday driv
ing of piling on the harbor line was
begun. The dock Is to cost $5u!u00.
The Southern Pacific also has under
way the rebuilding .of the Davis-street
dock, on the West Side, which will be
an open dock of heavy mill construc
tion and probably will be used for the
reception of coal and other fuel. The
Kast Side dock will have a warehouse
for handling general cargo, as well as
considerable open space, where lumber
hauled by rail from Willamette Valley
points will be transhipped on coasters.
M. U. Holbrook. vice-president of the
Merchants National Bank, who is di
recting the construction of -a dock at
Bridgeport in connection with a trus
teeship, says that negotiations are un
der way to lease a part of the prop
erty for grain storage and shipping
purposes and that open sections of the
dock will be ready for use about No
vember 1. The dock has a total -length
of 3200 feet. At the north end it will
be 200 by 300 feet and at the south
end 150 by 200 feet, narrowing between
those sections to 50 feet in the center.
The cost will approximate $75,000.
There will be three slips or ramps pro
vided to facilitate loading. The site is
Immediately south of the dock of the
Standard Oil Company adjoining the St.
Johns bridge of the Spokane, Portland
'& Seattle Kailway. The work is being
done by the Elliott Construction Com
pany. It is said another dock Is to be
built at L,innton that will be several
hundred feet long.
The O.-W. R. & N. dock, under t ay
200 feet north of where Oceanic dock
Btood, is being hurried and may be
evailable for general freight in another
month. Robert Wakefield, who has the
contract, is working a large force and
every effort is being made to hasten
the undertaking because of the con
gested conditions . on the waterfront.
Two docks planned on the Lombard
property, on the East Side, north of the
Portland Flouring Mills Company's
holdings, have been postponed tempor
arily and will not be ready for this
season's grain.

MIDDLE FINGER SHOT AWAY
Inspector McGrath Injured Trying
to Prevent Damage to (inn.
H..S. McGrath, chief of the Custom
House inspectors, lost the middle fin-
Ker of his left hand while on the way
to Astoria Tuesday night, through the
accidental discharge of a shotgun car
vied aboard the Custom-House launch
Jt. W. Scott. He returned to the city
by train and had the wound dressed,
tso will probably return to duty today.
The Scott was bound on one of her
frequent trips to the lower harbor.
Tvhere close watch is maintained on
fishing boats and other vessels to en
Jorce the navigation laws. About an
hour before Astoria was reached the
launch encountered heavy swells that
caused her to roll and as the shotgun,
one of the pump type, was hanging In
a bracket and threatened to fall. Mr.
McGrath sought to steady it. Appar
ently the "safety" was not on and the
trigger was jarred, the charge entering
liis finger, as he had grasped the end
of the barrel in attempting to prevent
the weapon falling.

Thoughts are Sparks
flashes of the mind to decide for success or failure
The question i, what- kind of sparks
does your brain generate?
The braiu, like a battery, must be supplied with certain elements to generate thought
properly. The brain elements are jvater, albumen and phosphate of potash. If any of these
are lacking in the daily food, brain"and body energy are vitally lessened. ,
Are any lacking? Listen! "Water and albumen are plentifully supplied in ordinary food,
but phosphate and potash together with other mineral elements is almost wholly lacking
in white bread and all white flour products.
containing all the nutriment of wheat and barley, including the precious phosphates so
essential to perfect bodies and active brains, provides a food at once-delicious, nourishing and
economical. - " '
A morning dish with cream furnishes POWER for accomplishment that many a man has
come to appreciate. r
Common sense goes a long way toward success. To eat right often means to BE right.
