The alarming increase in the cost
Of living in Seattle has caused an In
vestigation by newspapers of that city
and the Seattle News gives the follow
ing account of its Investigations along
this line:
Traced to its real source the in
creased cost of living in Seattle is due
to various combinations which control
the necessities of life and force the
consumers to pay a price that is much
higher than the same articles are sold
for in other places. says the News.
This is particularly true of the lines
of goods that are handled by the
Western avenue commission houses.
The commission men have their as
sOciation and will not sell direct to
the consumer, no matter what guam
titles the consumer may desire to buy
In each of the commission houses on
Western avenue Is posted a notice to
the effect that goods will not be sold
to the consumer ana no quotation will
be given to him. The Seattle produce
association, to which all commission
men in the city belong, meets at noon
each day and fixes prices. All of the
houses must maintain these prices.
Next, the retailers have an associa-
| ton which has for its purpose the
same object. The employees of the diff
| ferent business houses are members
| of labor union which has for its OBJ
| ject the protection of those employed
| in the business houses on the ques-
tions of wages and working hours.
| Thus an endless chain Is formed
The retailer must charge more for his
| goods because he pays more to the
wholesaler, the clerk must get higher
wages because it costs more to live
the carpenter must charge more fol
his work because his living expenses
are increased by the others; the land
lord must charge more rent because
the cost of building is increased. anc
so it goes in circle that has no end
In the meantime the consumer is th'
only one that is unable to form an!
sort of an association that will regu
late prices. He must pay what he i
asked and take what he gets.
The poor man that is engaged in
profession that is not a part of or
ganized labor is crushed between tn
unions and the greed of the bushes
houses. He pays for all of this in
creased cost of living but receive
nothing in return.

No section excels Virginia in its
tobacco product. Richmonds 20
warehouses have a storake capacity
of $4,000 hogsheads Of tobacco. Rich
mond manufactures 22,O0O,0OO
pounds of tobacco. Richmond han
dies the tobacco product of Virginia,
North Carolina and South Carolina
to the extent of 6O,OO0,OOO pounds an
nually. Her other industries show
sales of $S0,000.000.
A more sociable, more hospitable
and a more entertaining class Of citi-
zens are to be found in no section OF
this great nation.

ALBERT TONER WRITES or RICHMOND

In letter to the Salem Statesman,
dated at Richmond, June 16, Albert
Tozier, of Salem, gives the following
interesting description of Virginia's
capital and metropolis.
Richmond, the capital and me-
tropolie of Virginia, and geographic
cally the gateway between the north
and the south and the west and the
middle Atlantic seaboard. Histor-
ically 1t Is the center of CIVILIZATION
as old as .he nation itself, and COM
mercially the rival of trade markets
throughout the United States. Rich
mond, with a past rich In achieve
ment and a future bright In promise,
stands upon the border land OF that
territory which, once swept by war
and travail Is today, throbbing with
a new and mighty energy, born of
full realization of the unboundcd re-
sources and opportunities that lie be-
fore her.
In the life of the American nation
today there IS no fact more impress
sivc or significant than the CONNER
authoritatively estimated that during
the past year the south Is increasing
at n rate of $7,30O,OOO per day. Six
railway systems bring II into close
touch with the country to the north,
south, cast and west, and two steam
boat lines give II water rates with the
outside world.
At The head of navigation on the
James river 80 miles from the sea,
Richmond stands, like Rome with Its
Tiber, on seven hills. There Is an
ample and will distributed rainfall
and the climatic conditions so Inn
portant in determining the CONNER
cial and agricultural possibilities OF
any section, is most fortunate.
Beautiful Old City.
Visitors to Richmond are at once
impressed with the beauty of the
city az whole, and more particular
ly with the residential sections. The
streets are 80 broad and well paved
and so abundantly shaded with grea
trees that from the top of the higf
buildings the city has the appear
ance of a great park.
There are three parks with an aret
OF 377 acres. The scenery is every
where beautiful, abounding in fin'
views of the river, winding along be
low. Several parks are located oil
the outskirts of the city, where on
summer evening may be found thou
sands of people enjoying themselve
IA the shade and quiet. Histori
buildings in and around the city en-
hance the natural beauty of Rich
mond. The city is we'll favored Wit
monuments.
The list of historic buildings an
monuments might be extended I
considerable length. but one canno
overlook the ancient state capitol de
signed In France in 1875, Will
Thomas jefferson was minister
that country, and erected under h
supervision, and was very recent
enlarged and improved; also In tn
capitol square are the Washingto
group. Houdon's Washington an

Man and Dog Killed by Lightning.

During the heavy thunderstorm
Monday evening Ed Fuller, who lives
with his parents on Fish creek, was
struck by lightning about o'clock
and instantly killed. He has been
herdng sheep for Laidlaw, and with
him at the time OF the strike was
camp tender and dog. The camp
tender was standing not three feet
from Fuller and the dog was between
them. A binding flash occurred
and Fuller and the dog were killed
outright, but the camp tender es-
capped uninjured. Fuller was about
22 years of age. 1t is probable that
the funeral will take place in Belle
vue soms time today.-Hailey News
