HENS QUITTING THEIR JOB
AND EGGS ARE SOARING OUT OF
SIGHT IN PRICE.
Reach Thirty Cents Per Dozen In
This City, and No One Knows
How High They Will Go.

The hens and the produce merchants
have entered into a combination which
has had the effect of driving the egg
market in Martinsburg to the high
point of 80 cents per Dozen for good,
bad and Indifferent hen fruit.
This is the price that ruled here
today, and ham and eggs" won't be
as plentiful tomorrow morning on the
breakfast table as usual. In many
homes it will be Sunny Jim or some
other kind of sawdust or hay.
Perhaps not in recent years has the
hen fruit reached such high price
in the local market at this time Of
me year, and the situation is exasper-
ating alike for the poultryman and the
the one because he has no
eggs to sell, the other because he is
compelled to buy at least few. One
local amateur chicken man has flock
of fine, large thoroughbred Plymouth
Rocks, which he has been feeding
everything imaginable, and which
haven't produced a single egg for a
month.

NATIONAL RELIEF.

The whole country win heartily en-
dorse the governmental aid that is being
put forward at this hour of stringency,
and the President and his Secretary Of
the Treasury win be commended. even
in the camp of the enemy, for the wis.
dom that has sent Of couple of hundred
millions of the peoples money out to
serve the people.
So long as the great reserves are not
broached, nor the working capital Of the
government imperilled nor depleted, the
idle millions belong to the eople and
should be used for their especial behest !;
the policy is good one and has the
sanction Of the masses at this peculiar
juncture. Its normal effect is excellent,
also, and 1t may serve to deaden the
thrill Of gratifed spleen indulged in by
the buccaneers who are engineering tas
disorders now prevalent,

good TO indulge the hope, since hope be-

The big feet that has entered this

centuated the eyer-present idea OF the
ambitious dweller by these sea a-gates
that, some day, these docks will be the
berthings of this great trade for the
Columbia Basin; and this, mind you,
without ill-will toward Portland; for
the readjustment Of the commerce of

dition that forever involves the COM

CURRENCY BILL
More Money Necessary to Garry on
country's Business.

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov l9.-In an
interview with the Tribune correspon.
dent at Provo yesterday, U. S. Senator
Reed Smoot said:
Il think Congress ought Immediately
to pass an elastic treasury bill which
would relieve the situation at once.
The bill should be broad one and
should protect the government and at
the same time provide the money neces.
sary to carry on the business in the
United States. Such currency would be
used only in emergency and would be
withdrawn from circulation when need
for it was past. All other civilized
countries have such law.
A1t seems to me absurd that there
is need for such an action at the pres
ent time. The country Is more pros.
porous now than at any time in it's
history. There are tens of millions
more money in the United States than
a year ago. At the close Of the year
ending March the balance of trade
will be in favor of America by one bill
lion dollars"

R00SEvELTs SUCCESSOR.

We confess we cannot hold with those
who insist that President Roosevelt
must be the candidate for the Presi-
dency next year. We are with them
heartily in the hope that this might
come to pass; but we have always felt
he would not enter the field again and
we have seen nothing to warrant us in
changing our mind. Nor do we believe
he is making any admissions as to his
choice of candidate, though it is not
unreasonable to credit him with the de.
sire to see himself succeeded by man
of his own trend and bent. he has been
called politician, and he is that, in
the cleanest conception and usage of
the term; and this. Of itself, operates to
disparage the thought that he is com.
mitted to either Of the foregoing deduc-
tions.
We believe Theodore Roosevelt is to
be a greater Senator than ever he was
as President; and what is more, we de-
sire to see him escape the slime ami
slobber of another great campaign, in
order that he may enter the new field
unfettered and free from the burdens
that might otherwise hamper his acts
as "a representative of the nation at
large.
