I. lllotcky, ownor of tlio La Vogue stores nrrlvud horo last even ing on ono of his regular vlilU to his local ostutitlslimorit. Juit be foro comlDK liora, roturnoJ from New York, nnd brims a much moro optimistic report than that made following hid last visit. Conditions ro beginning to .ottlo to a solid basis and from now on tho work of development ought to bo quite rapid and permanent. "America has a big task bnforo It." said Mr. llloclky today. "For the past few yenrs wn havo had everything our way. Tim Kuropean countries woro devoting all of their energies, men and money to .war, while for most of that time wo were devoting ours to supplying thorn, not only with munitions hut with everything etso. On top of this wo bad to supply our own people as well as all other nations. This same condition prevailed to a groat extent until last fall. Then some thing happened and the real jour ney back to normal conditions start ed. That road M rough and hilly and has been bard to travel, but the worst In past, though there ere many difficulties yet to bo solv ed. "While In New York I was talk lng with an officer In ono of the large banks and ho said that from bow on this country would havo to battle for tho world's trado and compete with Kuropo for thnso mar kets. Ho polnlcil, as nu Illustra tion, to tho fact that today Germany baa placed on tho New York mar kot an exact dupllcato of tho Oil lette razor that sells for 98 cents. It la expected that at an early date It will bo offorlng blados for ten or fifteen cents a package. This, ho said, Is only a forerunner of what wo aro to expect. He said If the Unltod States was to win In this tight, production would have to be speeded up to a point that would bring the cost of manufacture down to whoro wo can beat them on price and quality without reducing the atandard of living of the Amer ican worklngman. Wo havo done It before and wo can do It again, with tho added advantago that to day we havo our own ships. "The money markot In tho oast Is easier and tho expectation thern Is that It will contlnun to Improve. Everyone Is beginning to roalltn that tho conditions dieting during and Immediately following tho war must change, nnd this Is tho most hopeful sign I saw. If nil of us look tho facts In tho face, rcallxe that the golden dreams wo havo been having wero only dreams and get right down to bedrock and stnrt to build a now structure with pre sent material, It will not bo long un til ovorythlng ntartn to move off In tho right direction and wo will have n era of real prosperity that will surpass anything wo ovor bad."

HEART OF THE NATION VWT.my 1 FLAG, V. HJMHIT. GARDNER STILL CA8TLB ROCK. Wash., Jane. 14 ho, man believed to be RoyOardnsr,' escaped convict, is bellevod to bo surrounded at "The Rock." half a mllo south of hero, this morning. The suspoct first appeared at 6 o'clock this morning and askod Henry Wend where ho could got something to eat. He was directed to the Royal res taurant. Ho entered the plsxo and ordered a moAl but was apparently frightened when be saw Wend pass the window twice and ran from the restaurant and south toward the rock from which tho town gets it name, disappearing behind It. Bhorlff Hoggatt was notified and gathered a posse, which immediately surrounded the rock and vicinity. A forco of epoclal railway agents wo rushed from Kelso to aid the hunt. H. Williamson, proprietor of the restaurant, said tho man answered Gardiner's description. Ho was col- larloss and had a four day's growth of beard, also gold filled teeth like Gardner's SAflTf -FH n-aa-M-avap MS LIBERTY Menace to Traffic Will Be Stopped Declares Officer The "one light" automobile will of tor" this day become the object of special enforcement of the law and thero will bo no more operation of machines -over the streets of this city with only one lamp burning, the other one out, states Chief of Police Wilson. Complaint baa been male that machine are driven at fast ratos of speed with only the one Ugh burn lng and approaching automoblllsts are unable to determine whether thore Is a motorcycle or a car com ing . The location of the light pui zlos, as there is no way to te'.l whother the body of the machine is on the right or left of the road. Chelf Wilson this morning issued strict orders to all patrolmen to seo that violations are stopped. WILLFUL TRIO PUSH CITY TO VERGE OF SUIT The fair, name of this city has been Jeopardised,, in a business way, as never before. On May 1st came tho first serious tarntsbment of its financial integrity when it failed to meet its bonded obligation fait lng duo on that date. The situation In that regard Is the more repre hensible because of the fact that the city had ten years in which to prepare Itself for the emergency culminating upon that date. It' ft not a light or trivial matter for the obligations of a city to go to pro test on their duo,date, bus that 1 exactly -what has happened here, Tho holders of those obligations are not without their remedy through tho courts. But the mere fact of this city assuming the role of a de fendant In court because of it ne glect and refusal to pay an honest obligation when due 1 not a pleas ing spectacle, to the average citi zen at least. The old saying "that troubles never come singly" received vindi cation snow last evening at the council meeting when by the nega tive votes of Vollmer, Bogardus and McCollum, the council repudiated a contract entered Into with the Warren Construction company for the Improvement of the High, Sixth and Seventh streets unit That ac- tlon simply mean another lawsuit from which there 1 no escaping an award of damages by any empanel- led Jury of honest men. ' Here are the circumstances sur rounding this latest of the atinlno porformlnances of that trio of prod Igles .illuminating the realm qt mu nicipal activities in this city, as disclosed by an examination of the rocerd: Tho council advertised for pro posals to make the designed im provement of tbo above mentioned stroots, and accepted the proposal of the Warren Construction com pany subject to the sale of the bonds. The bonds were advertised for sale on May 23rd, at which time tho Warren Construction gave the council a bid at par and accrued Interest for the bonds, on the above mentioned Improvement, and a llko bid for the bonds on Wash ington street from First to Bwauna. It Beerus action on the bids was doforred by the council until last evening. In the meantime the com pany had been communicated with tbo view of obtaining their consent to a cancellation of the contract because of the objection of some property owner to the high cost of the improvement. At tbo meotlng last evening a representative of tho company was present and inslstod upon the city living up to Its agree ment with the company and accept' lng its bid of.par'.and accrued In' teresi ror tne oonaa, wnich was several points above tho present market for Improvement bends. The situation Is simply one of keeping faith. The company had previously submitted a bid on the Invitation of tho council which was duly and regularly accepted sub ject to the sale of bonds. Tho, com pany submitted a valid hid for the bond upon tho ' invitation of 'the ii ii iiTnnrf Tnrii-ronLTiOJVvi.

There wes more or lees looking areooo tho market In order to determine casta In good, probably for the Ught wolght season, but otherwise the market- baa been quiet. Early in the week there waa a fair movement In territory wool of the Utah and Colorado type end Interest In these wools has been more or less in evidence. For wk wools of the clothing (short) U French combing (medlma length) order, the manufacturers have eom tinned to pay anywhere frost H te 70 cents, clean basis, or 11 to 14 cents, generally la the grease. Thero ha been some demooi for medium wools, also, esseetally three-eighths and quarter MooS combing wools, which nave bringing- around CO seats,, basis, for the higher one 4 for th lower grade, or gworilbr la the range of to 8 depending upon tho wooL ' There has been eom further, eall for foreign wools, especially- for Australian Morlnos, which havo boon selling at about the same prices which were obtsinable a week ago, namely, $1, clean basis, for strictly warp 0-70s Oeelong wools and 19 to 85 cents, clean basis, for Mel bourne 64s, depending upon how good they are, the lower price be ing for Just a fsirly good wool and the higher for good combing. Against the lattor price, fine staple territory wool of good combing length are quoted at 10 to 85 cents, these being unskilled wool, of course, while the Aus tralian Is skirted and somewhat finer, generally speaking. There has been some call for South American, crosabreds this week, mostly of tho lower gradea, such as 3s or 44s, which havo brought around XSV4 cents for good Argentine wools. Scoured and palled wool have been moderately active with prlcos firm. Intorest la. centering moro and moro In the west, where shearing is becoming more general and oper ations are being more wide! scat tered. Especially la thore more ac tivity In the far west, all tho way from Oregon to Texas. Interest In West The clips of Utah and Nevada aro now getting fairly well disposed of, either by consignment or purchase. Prices have shown little if any change during the week. In Tex as, aomotblng over 1,000,000 pounds mostly twelve-months wool, so called, was disposed of early in the week at about 18 to It coots for the best French combing fine wools and rather better then 10 cents for the best twelve-months good stapled wool. As high as 11 cents has been paid in Del Rio for the best twelve-months good stapled clips. ' In Utah up to about 18 cents has been paid for the best clips running chiefly to fine medium grade, and In Nevada the better wools have brought 16 cents or a little better. We hear of 18 cents being paid la, Oregon for fine and fine medium stapled clips, principally of tho fine medium order. These wools aro fig fired to cost, laid down at Bootoa, on a clean, scoured basis, some where, from 60 to 60 cents,- do pending on how long they aro, for wools 'of the fine and medium grades.
