wheat year. a year In which relative
prices in most markets have been
greatly out of joint, and in which cash
prices in all markets have ruled at
premiums over futures instead Of at
discounts, as customary in most years.
Northwest expert opinion is that this
country is not far from the turning of
the ways when only in occasional years
will there be any large wheat surplus
for export. Probably in no year on rec
ord have our western and northwestern
markets shown the Indifference to and
independence OF foreign market innu-

The c. C. Il. A. met January 10th
in the b. Y. College. Supt. Thomson
presiding. Supt. Thomson said that
the books adopted i'm May of last year
would have to be changed within few
days or as soon as the outline of Course
of Study reaches us. Advised teach
ers to be more careful about keeping
their rolls and registers in a good con-
dition in order that our statistical re-
ports might be accurate. Spoke also,
in regard to teachers being more care
full about the cleaning, heating and
temperature of their rooms. Prof. ID.
G.. Jensen of the b. Y. College took up
the subject of arithmetic in the grad
es from the standpoint of the Werner
Arithmetic, the newly adopted.books.
The talk was very timely and many
good practical suggestions were
offered. Next month we expect to be
honored with lecture from Prof
Clarke of the University of Chicago.
A cordial invitation is extended to all
friends of education to come and join
us and thereby make educational in
terests more popular.
Yours Respectfully,

Lewiston.
Editor Republican,

Editor Republican,
Since the holidays business is very
quite in this locality, the young people
enjoy themselves however, in attend
ing two and three dances week. On
Tuesday night the Lewiston young
people attended masquerade ball
held at Fairview.
Some of our lite ones are sick with
colds and fever. Joseph Woods baby
died last Tuesday. Herman Daniel
son, our blacksmith is always busy, he
does as good work as can be done in
Logan and his prices are reasonable.
Owing to the partial failure in the
beet crop many people are hard up,
positively unable to meet their obliga-
tions. There is about 100 acres of
beets still in the ground. Everything
considered Mr.. Eccles will find it a
hard job to make his usual contracts
here for beets, some parties who have
have beets not dug are compelled to
work i'm the coal mines where they are
now: considerable oil must be poured
on the troubled waters to have the
people plant many more beets. The
scarcity of cars, and not being allowed
to dig when the people were anxious
and the light tonnage per acre, has
created disgust almost for the beet
culture i'm the future. A great deal
of the beet land was put into winter
wheat last fall. / do not mean to say
no beets will be raised at all, but
some different arrangements must be
made in order to relieve the people of
the disadvantages they have hereto
fore been laboring under. The sooner
the factory people adjust these mat
tiers the better it will be for them.
Some parties have been unfortunate
in not raising enough beets to pay
for the rental of their land, not re-
ceiving one dollar for their labor ex'
pended. If Mr.. Eccles would send
men here who would get down to every
little detail and sense the true condi'
ton of the people it would result In
mutual benefit. The people blame
the factory especially for not arrang'
ing with the railroad company fol
sufficient cars at the proper time.

TRADERS
EXCHANGE
CONTINUED from Page H.

This Exchange secured the passage
by the recent Legislature of a labor
law, relating to labor employed on
Government work that has never been
paralleled by any previous labor en-
actment.
The law defines days work in the
following terms: Eight hours of ac-
tual service shall constitute a DAVIS
work" It means labor shall deliver to
the public eight hours work and the
officials have the law behind them to
require eight hours of actual work and
not eight hours of mere attendance.
This is exact justice to the Govern
ment, the public and labor.
The Builders and Traders Exchange
is an organization at whose meetings
it's members and guests can freely state
their opinions, however, widely differ
ing, or even heated in expression with
out experimenting any subsequent i'll
feeling or personal or business preiu-
dice
THE NEEDS OF THE TERRITORY.
The matter of the needs of the Ter
ritory as viewed by the Exchange and
drawn up in the form of a letter to
Delegate Kalanianaole and a memorial
to be presented Congress and printed
for the perusaI Of the proper commit
tees was the next business taken up.
The petition, the result of much hard
work by the committee under Mr.. Pink
ham is very concise and full of care
full and accurate statistics. The late
photographic map of the harbor of Ho-
nolulu as prepared by the Bureau OF
immigration with the eighty foot line
from the present established line of
the harbor marked thereon, wherein
dredging is obligatory by Territorial re-
sources, goes with the petition as pub
Ushed elsewhere in these columns.

tary ]. D. Avery drew the attention

of the Exchange to the amendments
to the bylaws recently enacted re-
ducing the initiation fees and broad
ening the eligibility Of membership to
include insurance men, real estate men,
painters and others. He asked for per-
sonal aid on the part Of the members
to solicit membership. In the matter
of the bill collection the Exchange had
succeeded in getting in all accounts
within limits set by the creditors. He
thought that more accounts owing
members of the Exchange could be
turned in for collection and thus add
to the revenues of the organization by
the percentage.
No one had been reported on the Ex-
change Delinquent Customers list up
to the present date. The record mad
not yet been started but it's existence
was powerful factor in collecting ac-
counts and it's entries would be a DOW
erful aid to any business house as a
junior edition of a local Bradstreet.
An application for membership from
the Pacific Transfer Company was rec
commended and accented.

 The leaves have a punge1t but very pleasant odor which surrounds the plant for many feet. They also have a pleasant taste. The habit Of chewing them grows upon one so that if they were more accessible they might be the means Of making inroads cn the to- 5acco and chewing gum habits
