I once knew a boy, little Ind, little

Who dreamed, as I know that you
do,
That the sun-lighted morrows In rap

Each bearing (or him prosperity's

And blossoms his pathway to strew.
But, oh, for the boy, and the dream
that must die'
And, oh, for the course that we run!
For he burled his vision one day with
a sigh
And I was the boy, little one.

at the opera house last evening. Miss
Frankenfield Is without doubt one of

In this seiaion of the country today.
Her work last night was exceptionally
good and her large audience thoi

plot of the piece is filled with many
beautiful dramatic situations, which

The building and equipment of the
portage road at Celilo evidently did
not close that affair, as far as A. McL.
Hawks, an engineer of Tacoma, la
concerned.
Mr. Hawks claims back salary
amounting to over $7000 and has sent
his bill to Dr. N. O. Blalock, of Walla
Walla, who was one of the chief pro
moters or the portage. The Walla
Walla Union says of the matter:
Evidently believing that Dr. N. G.
Blalock was responsible for the obli
gations of the state of Oregon in
building the portage road around The
Dalles of the Columbia In 1904, A.
McL. Hawks, an engineer of Tacoma,
has begun suit against the doctor for
the collection of 7422.70, for services
alleged to have been performed in
connection with that undertaking.
The complaint alleges that Engineer
Hawks performed certain duties as
consulting engineer of the reasonable
value of IS065, for which he has so
far received only the sum of 1642.30.
The particular labor which he per
formed, so says the complaint, was
In making an estimate of the cost of
the road and giving his personal at
tention and cupervlsion to the letting
or contracts and the performance of
the work.
The case was first instituted In
P1erc county, the bpme of the plain
tiff, but upon motion of Dr. Blalock,
the Case was transferred to Walla
Walla county, ..
When seen lsurt evening by a. rep
resentative of the Union, Dr. Blalock
said he attached no Important to the
suit, but considered It rather as a
means of staying execution of a Judg
ment he held against Engineer Hawks
for money advanced him while he was
trying to secure the contract for the
construction of the portage road.
For that service he performed for
the Open River association the doctor
says Mr. Hawks was paid In full at the
rate of 125 per day.
He was hired In the first place as
a consulting engineer, but had . a mis
understanding with the engineer of
the state of Oregon a few days after
he was on the work, and waa after
that of little benefit to the committee
from the Open River association.
He made flattering representations
of his financial backing In order to

Mrs. H. Hallock, an old pioneer of

EXPECT FOhTV-CE.VT CORN.
A Three-Cent Spread Has Been Cre
ated Between February and May.
There is a 3-cent spread between
February and May corn, which some
figure pays 12 per cent to carry It
Into May, says the Chicago Livestock
World. This Is a very full carrying
charge, as there are only 71 days to
May. Cash corn Is under 40c for
the first time In several years and the
cash situation presents less attractive
ness to the buyer than has been
known In more than two years.
May sold down to within a fraction
of the low point of the season, and
closed with a net loss of 1 l-8c, while
other months lost l-23-4c. There
la nothing In the Immediate situation
In the corn market to encourage
buying for a large advance, and senti
ment has become almost too excess
ively bearish.
Trade la all looking for May to sell
down to 40c. From now on It will be
Interesting to watch the action of
western farmers with corn at under
40c here. It means a much lower
price to them than they have been
accustomed to of late years, and the
question is, Will they sell freely?
There are no big Interests on either
side of the market at present, and the
disposition Is to play the short side,
exports were a little over 4,000,000
bushels for the week. Available sup
plies are Increasing, but are only 2,
000,000 larger than last year. Until
there Is a decided Improvement in the
domestic and export demand, or some
thing new develops to help the bull,
prices are expected to be governed
mainly by pit operations.
