The past week has been the long
est continued cold spell in the
Kootenai Valley for more than ten
years, or since a town was estab-
lished here There have been times
when the murcury went lower for
single night. but not SO many
zero DAYS in succession. The low
est the thermometer has registered
this winter was 10 below, but eX-
cept for the night when the storm
first broke there has been but little
wind. The reports from other To-
cahtieS indicate that the KoOtenai
Valley has been particularly fa-
vored. the storm being less ri5or-
Gus here than elsewhere. Where
the murcury has not registered
lower the wind has generally been
blowing, making the cold intensely
penetrating In many parts of the
Country a severe blizzard tagged.
So all considered we have little to
complain of up in this northern

THE President has sent to the
senate for confirmation the fellow
ing appointments in this land dis
trict: John f. Yost, to oe Regis
ter, and c ID. Warner, to be re-
ceiver, of the land office at Occur d.
AIene, thus ending an interesting
political contest which has been in
progress for about one year. Mr..
Yost succeeds Col. Budlong while
Maj Warner is reappointed. The
appointment Of Mr.. Yost, who is
editor of the Kootenai County Re
publican, is noted with pleasure by
the HERALD as it will be by Repub-
licans generally throughout the
county. He has born the brunt of
an uphill fight for the party since
1896, and the Republicans of this
county had nothing too good to
give him. For Receiver we pre-
ferred another to the gentleman
who has been reappointed, but we
bear not the slightest i'll will to
Mi. Warner. He possess the same
high character as the gentleman
who sought to succeed him, Mr.
Edwin Doust, and, following a pol
icy of the administration to reap
point all officials who had perform
ed their services acceptably, Mr.
Warner has been retained, and the
HERALD takes pleasure in extend
ing its congratulations to him as
well as to Editor Yost.

A Graceful Compliment.

The Silver Blade, Fusion organ,
contains the following:
The Washington dispatches of
tuesday announce that the name
of Mr.. John F. Yost, of the Koot-
enai Republican, was presented to
President Roosevelt for Register of
the land office at Occur d. Alene,
and his appointment recommended
by ex Senator Shoup and National
Committeeman Standrod. This is
equivalent to appointment. If the
office must go to republican no
better selection could have been
made. This is shown bv the
strength of the gentlemau's indorse-
ment. Mr. Yost is young man,
and will bring to the administra-
ton of the Office, the energy and
ambition of youth. We believe ht
will make capable officer AS q
brother newspaper man We extend
our hearty congratulations.

THE COSr OF LIVING

Harper's Weekly summarizes the
results of an interesting investigation
of the Massachusetts, bureau of labor
into the cost of living in Massachusetts,
to-day compared with the cost in 1897
and in 1872. The bureau selected at
random l52 families of workingmen
and secured from them their budgets
of the year. These were compared with
the budgets of families of about the
same class gathered by the bureau five
years ago aud in 1872, The compari-
son shows that i'm Massachusetts the
cost of living is lower than thirty years
ago, but higher than in 1897.
The station of the families is shown
by the rent paid. For the 1872 investi-
gated the average rent was 500 year
Their food cost them III per cent more
than in 1897 put 20 per cent less than in
1872. They spent 10 per cent more for
dry goods and shoes than in 1897 and
fl per cent less than in 1872. Rent had
increased % per cent in the last five
years, but was still only .02 per cent
greater than thirty years ago. Their
fuel was 10 PEI cent more expensive
than in 1897, but it cost - per cent less
than in 1872.
1t may be doubted whether the
decrease i'm the cost of living in the last
thirty years, indicated by the bureaus
figures, is so great as it seems. The
summary given in Harper's Weekly
fails to take into account the fact that
in 1872 the country was not yet OH gold
basis and consequently prices-measur-
ed in greenbacks-were abnormally
high. The issue of paper currency
in 1862 sent prices soaring and things
were not back at their normal level
until the RESUMPTION of specie payments
in 1879. In July, 1864, when a paper
dollar was worth less than forty cents
the average price of "A large number Of
commodities reported by the monetary
commission of 1898 was about two and
half times as large as in 1860. In 1872
the greenback dollar was worth be-
tween eighty and ninety cents. Prices
were consequently still inflated. A re-
port on the cost of commodities for
that year that takes no account of the
initiation is unsatisfactory. With allow

appears that the cost of living In Mass.

but not so much less as the figures seem
