Inspired by the success of the St. Louis
Aid In taking care Of young women and
girls coming to the city during the exposi-
ton, eleven organizations Of Portland have
associated themselves in a Travellers Aid
to do a similar work in that city. Among
the organizations interested are the Port
land Woman's club, the Women's Christian
Temperance union, City Federation of
Clubs, Council of Jewish Women, College
Alumnae association and number of
church aid societies. The association has
been in operation for the past four months
perfecting its methods of safeguarding
young women, and especial attention will
be given to the protection OF women on the
immediate grounds OF the exposition and
for this purpose the associ ,ivp has estab-
lished headquarters in one OF the big build
ings. At St. Louis 1000 girls were stranded
within the exposition gates last summer In
spite Of all the efforts to protect them at
the station and on the trains. The Port
land association is supplying all the dis
trict west Of the Mississippi with pamphlets
and posters calling attention to It's work.
and the Exposition Travellers Aid commit
tee, which reconvened this spring at the
request of the western association, IS doing
the same work in all the states east OF the
Mississippi. Last year the latter organiza-
ton distributed its pamphlets all over the
United States. Factories and department
stores are being especially remembered
with circular letters, as It is thought that a
large per cent of the girls who would go
unchaperoned might be reached in this
way.

How 1T Has Been Steadily Increasing
For Years.
Prices Of fuel, clothing and practi-
cally all food products are constantly
increasing, according to bulletin re-
Gently issued by the bureau Of labor
covering the period from 1890 to 1904,
says Washington special dispatch to
the New York World. In the early
nineties prices were very high. but in
the last four years they have been
steadily increasing, until now they are
relatively higher than in 1892, just be-
fore the memorable financial and COM
mercial depression. The period of low
est prices was from 1894 to 1897.
The lowest price Of beef was in
April, 1896, when the best choice was
quoted at 1885 to $425 per hundred.
The highest price was the latter part
Of August, 1902, when the price touch
ed $3.50 to SO per hundred. Corn
was lowest in 1896 and highest in 1892.
In a table of comparison in which
the average price for the years 1890 to
1899 is taken as base, sixteen articles
"a Idlu pIOuuClIOu, luCIuulliS sheep,
cattle, hay, hogs, hides and grains, are
enumerated. All except faxseed have
increased over the average price from
1890 to 1899. The increases for the
prices in 1904 range from rs per cent
on sheep and 81 per cent on cattle to
1915 on corn, 1913 on oats, 1858 on
wheat and the top increase of 96.2 on
New York state hops. The average in
crease in 1904 in the wholesale price
Of farm products over the average for
the years 1890 to 1899 is 26.2 per cent
OF fifty-twO articles included under
the head Of food it is shown that in
1904 the prices Of all but fourteen ar
ticles were higher than the average
prices from 1890 to 1899.
Seventy articles under the head of
cloth and clothing show that the aver
age price for 1904 was 9.S per cent
higher than the average from 1890 to
1899. The table on fuel and lighting
places the average 1900 price at 32.d
per cent higher than the 1890 to 1899
price.
