No exhibition of any kind has ever at

in many particulars; nevertheless, they

Spec dy Relief.

We have hero in the country east o
tho mountains an nam ,lous condition
i Of affairs. With a del ghtful climate
fertile soil, and all that might ordiuaril,
be expected to make people prosperou
and happy, we have constantly dinnine
in our ears complaints of hard times
and talk of seeking homes elsewhere
Seek the cause for this continual vail
ing, and twill be found IN the fact tina
we have no outlet for the Products o
our teeming soil. In round figures i
may be stated that our fsffners this yeal
have raised one million bushels owe,
and above the local demand, and fsl
this vast amount Of grain there is no &C
cessible market.
In San Francisco wheat to-day is
worth 2115 cents per pound, and in Wal
la Walla the offering figure is just Il e1
one cent. To make the figures palmer.
we will state that wheat in San Francis
co is quoted at So 12H per hundred -
At WallaWalla the pri paid is Sc cts.
per hundred. Deduct 6711 from 2 1917
and We find that our farmers are paying
at the rate of 81 As for getting wheat
to market. 1t is this tremendous tariff
upon the products of the soil that is
consuming the very vitals Of the coun
try, and gives rise to all the complaints
of hard times.
With anything like reasonable freight.
ing facilities our grain would reach mar.
ket at cost to the producer not to ex-
ceed so cents per hundred, and our far
mers instead of getting 6712 cents per
hundred for their wheat would get 81
62H. 1t il the loss of this dollar on ev-
cry one hundred pounds of wheat that
we sell that keeps the country poor, and
if long continued, promises to reduce
US to condition of bankruptcy. Such
a state of affairs is not to be endured,
and it will be for the meeting that as
sembles to-day to devise some plan that
will ensure us speedy relief from the
under which we labor
If the Seattle railroad project offers
promise of this sreedy relief then we
are for Seattle. If not, it will be for the
to devise some plan that will
meet the wants of the hour. This coun-
try is too rich in resources to be aban-
doned for the want of an outlet, and it
will speak little for our enterprise if we
continue to grope on year after year shut
out from the great markets of the world.
We produce in superabundancs the
"corn that kourishes and the wine that
giaddens, bat without { market this
vast production fails to bring Us . COM
ntensurats return. It il thus the ques-
ton of speedy relief comes homo to ev-
cry producer in the Valley, and it will
be for our wisest heads to develop and
unfold plan that will meet the emer-
gency. This is not the time for quack<
cry or idle experiment., and he that can
devise plan that is at once practicable
and within our means will deserve the
good vii! of his country.-Walls Walla

Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance
Ho,nuauV
From the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin.

| From the Milwaukee Evening WISCONSIN,
We have before us the annual state
ment of the business of the Northwest
ern Mutual Life Insurance company
of Milwaukee. For home journal 10
sav that this institution maintains lts
position as the leading life insurance
company of the United States IN
growth and prosperity, might seem
boastful or invidious. But we ask the
readers attention to some OF the leao-
ipp facts in it's business statement. Inc
number of policies issuedadurlng the
wear was 5, 772; covering insurance to
the amount of S13, 1876, 900, and preml-
ums amounting to S514, ,273. Number
of losses paid during the year, so;
amounting to s5S1, 1856. Total amount
of losses paid since the organization OF
the company is 81, $40, ,864. The com con
pany loaned during the year, $2,o0o,-,
89l. secured by first mortgage on real
estate valued at So, 259, ,337, showing
that the company holds three dottors-
and ftty eight cents security for every
dollar loaned. Taking into account the
rapid increase in the value OF real es-
tate of the west, where the securlueS
lie. and the fact that the company re,
ceives ten per cent. interest, much OF
the secret of the wonderful growth OF
this company is accounted for Inc
loans of the company are distributed

Curi0uS Needles.

The King of Prussia recently visited
a needle mandatory IN his Kingdom,
in order to see what machinery, COM
bined with the human hand, could p1o.
duce. He was shown number OF
superfine needles, thousands OF Whlcn
together did not weigh al ounce, ana
marveled how such minute OBJECTS
could be pierced with an eye. But he
was to see in this respect even some
thing still finer and more perfect could
be created. The borer-that IS, the
workman whose business 1t Is to pore
the eyes in these needles-asked Tor
hair from the monarch's bead. 1t was
readily given. and with a smile he
placed it under the boring machlne,
turned hole in it with the greatest
care, furnished it with a thread, and
then handed the singular needle to the
astonished King. The second curious
needle is in the possession OF Queen
Victoria. It was made at the celebra-
ted nanufactory at Beddich, and repre-
sents the column of Trojan IN NINA
ture. This wellknown Roman column
is adorned with numerous scenes IL
sculpture, which immortalzes Iralan
heroic actions in war. On this dlmln
utive needle scenes IN the lie O
Queen Victoria are represented IN re,
lief, but so finely cut and SO small tha'
it requires a magnifying. glass to see
them. The Victoria needle can, more
over be opened it contains NUMBER
of needles of smaller size, which are
equally adorned with scenes III relief
