,r. That the retailers hava, been making
too much money on their Independent
. shipments of car lota of wire w nails is
y ths conclusion .reached by the hardware
.. Jobbers, and foe that reason they have
been slashing values In the wholesale
market locaUy. The basts for wire
nail tip to this time has been 13 a keg
. in 25-keg lots, but this price bat Been
out to $1.65. or a reduction of 860 a
A keg front former figures. Thie la the
moat aerlous cut ever noted la the wire
nail market' on the Pacific coast, and
Indicates a desire of the' big ones , to
, force the small retailers into line. Not
only have the big people out the price
: aso a keg;- but they will sell at this
, price in any slsed lot. while heretofore
smaller 101s nave soia at nigner vtuuus.
" Strawberries Touch Bottom. A1-1
; The market ; for .strawberries-has
touched bottom, for Vood stock, from
present indications.; Not only will the
fruit probably sell at a higher, rang
witnin ins next weea, out 11 10 nut
lllmlv.thut th stock will be Of Such
goodf quality as at this time. In tha
market toaay atrawoerries soia at such?
11.60 a. orate, with the. average trsns-
aotlona around 11.26. '
.1 Three Oars of Cantaloupes Arrive.
Thru ran nf nantaSounes: arrived
from California thia morning. Two of
J he ears were from Brawley and one
rem the Cochella valley. All were
"in quite good shape. The market wa$
quite good,, considering the pile of ar
rivals, but the quality of the fruit
will probably enable the trade to hold
. values up better than usual. Another
car Is due on Thursday, and from that
time forth 'arrivals will be regular.
One broker alone will bring in two oars
of melons each week for the next few
- weeks. '
potato Market Xs Very Quiet.
There is a very quiet tone in the
potato market at this time. Shipping
- demand is nominal, and but few cars
are rolling. Sales to the southwest are
tapering off and the California demand
seems to be about at an end. - Locally
there Is a falrlv steady tone to the
market, but it Is likely that the call
for old potatoes will gradually decrease
from this time forth until it disappears
' altogether early in July. New pota-
. toes from the So" o are arriving in
mixed condition, although the average
run of arrivals is snowing Detier quai
tr" Sgg Market. Is Steady.
A fatrly steady tone is shown In the
lfat Mirir market- todav. While arriv-
. als are still quite liberal, there Is no
great Showing or accumulations ana
nothing is being sold under 1 80, while
In a few instances as high as 16c is
obtained In small lots. General trade
Is around 18o.- , , .
.General tone in poultry is quiet,
With some receivers still carrying ovr
some supplUs .from last week. Prices
are uncnangea ros- w y.; '
Creamery butter is holding quite
steadv, although the. make Is increased.
Latest reports from Tillamook indi
cate that this year's pack of cheese wlil
be the greatest in the history of the
industry there, .. -,
Brief Votes of the Trade.
There Is nothln doing in the hop
market at the moment.- -
Wheat and flour trade both nominal.
California Is entirely out of the mar
ket for .wheat here Just now. .
Fish business was very quiet during
the vast ' 24 hours. Salmon catch re
mains small. , , 1A '
Wool market Is steady, with valley
stock generally ruling around lie, al
though an occasional lot of fancy
stock ruling Ho higher. .

announced last winter that the can

New York, June 16. As far as Wall
street is concerned the residential cam
paign Is settled. - The interests expect
Taft. to be nominated at Chicago and
are therefore talking of a higher mar
ket. This somewhat scared the shorts
today and covering In Union Pacific and
Reading put both of these issues several
points to the good.
The mtld way the ' anti-Injunction
clause is treated in the Republican plat
form removes it as a stock market
issue. The stock market has taken this
clause too seriously and market leaders
have used, it for all. it was worth , to
depress values. , .
Today's session of tho stock market
is a repetition of what had been experi
enced In tna last two weesa, wnue uui
market was slow, several of the leaders
made good showings.
In London today American shares
were dull, a fraction above parity. .

DREAMS OF GUSHER;
MAKES LUCKY STRIKE
OilMan's Fortune Turns After
Twenty Years of Hard
Lack.
Butler, Pa,, June 16. To be without
a penny In the morning, and worth
$100,000 In the evening Is enough to
turn the head of most men, but not so
with Harry N. Hoffman of MoBrlde,
owner Of the Dodds farm oil gusher.
Hoffman la a man 40 years old, and
unmarried. He started out as an oil
field worker when a lad, and for years
was a pumper for the South Penn OH
company, a Standard OH concern.
Twenty years ago, when a young
man, Hoffman worked around a well on
the Dodds farm, on which the gusher
that has made him rich is located. He
had an Idea, which grew Into a convic
tion, that a pool was to be struck, and
when J, R. Jones made a location and
abandoned it without drilling, Hoff
man was s6rely disappointed.
He worked 20 years,, but didn't have
mi He enoush monev to start drilling.
But he had a dream In which he saw oil
spouting from a well where Jones had
abandoned the location, and he decided
to go ahead if It took every cent he
had and could borrow from friends.
The gusher Is earning Its owner $600
a day. More than that, he could sell it
for $100,000 any day. But he wants
to hold it, so strong is his faith that
it will keen uo its flow Indefinitely.
1 Hoffman has built no air castles, but
' is content 10 stay on me xarm ana

! In shabby clothes, his pantaloons held

and small sticks serving as supporters
for the ropes Instead of buttons. He
says he will work away as a pumper
the same as when he was without a
penny.
MULE PLAYED GHOST
IN HAUNTED HOUSE
Mystery Which Hag Puzzled Jackson
ville, N. J., I Solved by
, Daring Citizens.
New York, June 16. For several
weeks persons living on the outskirts
Of Jacksonville, N. J., have taken a
wide dstour after nightfall to avoid
passing sn empty house on the aban
doned farm formerly occupied by Joseph
Holloway.
The house had the repute-
tion Of beln
g haunted. At night those
who ventured near to the building heard
strains of wlerd muslo emanating from
the Interior, and other strange sounds
aided in creating the impression that
ghosts tenanted the dismal looking
structure.
Bolder spirits of the village finally
decided that they would solve the mys
tery of the haunted house. Jacob Grow
ther, Charles Spangler, and Michael
Dor emu s formed a committee of in
vestigatlon. The trio approached the
haunted house about 6 o'clock. As they
neared the building their ears were
greeted by the uncanny muslo that had
alarmed the timid wayfarers. Orow
ther wanted to turn back, but his cour
age was bolstered up by the determined
demeanor of his companions, who de-

CROWN AND BRIDGE WORK
' Many persons have a front tooth
broken' off or decayed until nothing
but the root' is left, and an ugly
space or opening between the re
maining teeth calls the attention of
very one that something should be
done to remedy the defect. Modern
dentistry and up-to-date dentists
would not suggest a plate, but would
place on the root a crown,-or else a
tooth, or teeth, could be attached to
a bridge or bridges. :

clared they would solve the mystery
no matter what occurred. - ;
One of the men carried a lantern. He
led the , way through the open door.
The strange music led then Into what
was formerly the kitchen. A strange
form loomed up before them and a hol
low rattle of the board floor marked
the sudden termination of the music
Under the glare of the light the mys
tery was solved. The "ghost" was an
old mule belonging; to Abraham Wallen,
a farmer. - As the men gazed on the
startled mule the muslo started again,
and the Investigators then learned now
It originated. The hairless tall of the
mule meat rapidly over wires that the
former occupants of the house had left
on the kitchen window. Every time the
mule beat rapidly over wires that the
forth a sound like some one strumming
on a harp.
Now Jacksonville breathes easier.
