WHAT LIVING COSTS
Census Bureau Answers Ques.
tons as to WOrkingmen.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 13.-The
bureau of labor has issued bulletin
on the cost of living of workingmen's
families, showing that of 2,617 fami-
lies in 33 states from whom data was
obtained the average income per fam
lily was $827.19, average expenditure
for all purposes $768.54, average ex-
penditure per family for food $326.90,
and the average size of family 5.31 per-
sons.
The last figure is seven -tenths above
the average of private families in the
whole country, as shown by the CEN
sus of 1900. The food expense is more
than 421a per cent of the expenditure
for all purposes.
An investigation covering the years
1890 and 1902 shows that the cost of
food reached its highest in 1902, the
average then being 10.9 per cent above
the average for the decade 1S90-1899,
and an increase of 16.1 per cent COM
pared with 1896, the year of lowest
prices. The increase in the cost of
living in 1902, when compared with
the year of lowest price, was not over
16.1 per cent, the figure given as the
this investigation This assumes, Of
course, always the purchase of the
same articles and the same quantities
in years of low prices, low wages and
more or less irregular employment and
in years of higher prices, higher wages
and steady employment.

Great Westerns Plan to Trans.
fer Motive Dept. Not Liked.


An order has been issued by General
Manager S. C. Stickney, of the Great
Western, transferring the motive pow
er department from st. Paul to Oel-
vein, Iowa.
The department is scheduled to move
Nov. Is, but it is probable that the
transfer will not be made, as the en-
ployes have refused to remain with
the company If obliged to live in the
Iowa village.
David Van Alstyn, superintendent of
motive power, has taken the matter
! up with the general manager, and the
order to move to Oelwein may be re-
Scinded
For some time Mr.. Stiokney has had
under advisement the transfer of the
motive department to Oelwein. The
company's large shops are located there
and it is thought that better results
could be had from the motive depart
ment by having 1t located with the
shops.
When the clerks in the motive de-
partment were informed that they
would be obliged to leave ST, Paul
there was a small rebellion in the
office. Many of the oldest and most
efficient employees threatened to leave
the company's service if required to
go to Oelwein. y s-
Supt. Van Alstyn then took the mat
ter up with Mr.. Stickney and it may
be decided to keep the department in
st. Paul. More than twenty clerks
and draughtsmen are employed in the
motive department; and it is said that
if it were decided to move to the Iowa
town more than half the force will
resign.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Nov. 13.-The
cattlemen in the western part of Fall

gered by the depredations of cattle rust
lers," who have recently become, very
bold in that section. Cattle are disap-
pearing from the range in a mysterious
fashion, and parties on the range are
suspected of slaughtering them and sell
ing the beef at Hot Springs, Edgemont
and other towns in the southwestern part
of the state. 1t has even been discovered
that some of the stolen beef has been
taken as far as Newcastle, Wyo., and
sold there.
Preliminary to waging a systematic
warfare on the "rustlers the cattlemen
will publically call attention to the, state
law, which provides heavy penalty for
the failure of persons selling beef to ex-
hibit the hides of the animals When
this has been done the cattlemen will
see that the law is strictly enforced, and
If the "rustlers'' continue to violate it,
and are detected in the act, no efforts will
be spared to secure their conviction and
imprisonment in the Sioux Falls peni-
tentiary.
