you Ike poor relations around the

you ever loiter in some sylvan spot
while the Soughing zephyrS Sough-

down your spinal column, and LET

The complaint has been made that
men sent ont by the government to
secure help have had so much diff
Guilty in finding men they have en-
tered the camps OF private con
tractors in the Selah and induced ia
borers to leave.
G. 7. Aumiller, who has camp
and is doing work for the Selah De-
velopment company, says: Il know
that men who are sent out by the
government are probably given a
bonus for securing employees have at
tempted to take men away from the
camps. | have been told by the fore
man at my camp that man for the
government was at the camp and
was talking to the men. Later the
men quit, and l believe went to wor!;
on the Tieton ditch"
A recent act of congress forbids
government employees from workin g
more than eight hours a day and the
government has been paying $3.50 for
days work, while private con-
government has been paying $2.5 for
ten hours work. The government re.
Gently advanced the pay to $3.50 and
the private contractors boosted the
price to $275. Mr.. Aumiller de-
clares the private contractors have
kept 20 cents in advance of the gov
eminent 1t is possible wage war
may be started. Mr.. Aumiller states
that the men in the private camps
have been working longer hours ana
he believes the 25 cents advance is
equitable, as the men should receive
more money for working ten hours
tina for working eight.

WHY NOT QUIET CENTRAL
AMERICA?

There is a special obligation rest.
on the United States and the repub.
lie Of Mexico to restore order in Cen.
trail America; for, only little while
ago, President Roosevelt and Presi.
dent Diaz were selected as perma.
nent peacemakers for the very coun-
tries now engaged in a bloody strug-
gle over a matter which, in ordinary,
everyday life would have called for
nothing more than minor civil action
in the courts. It was a simple case
Of trespass.
OF course, trespass may sometimes
mean invasion. Invasion is trespass
as matter OF fact. But no such con-
dition existed in the instant case.
There was really no good excuse for
the outbreak in Central America,
and the United States and Mexico
ought to mediate and end it at the
earliest possible moment.
In a speech the other Secretary
Root said: Il propose a toast to
the peace which Mexico and the
United States are endeavoring to es-
tablish in Central America, ana
everlasting peace between Mexico
and the United States" The senti-
ment thus expressed is significant
1t was the statement of an obliga.
ton. Mexico and the United States
are under bond, in way. to preserve
the peace Of Central America, and
they should take advantage of the
first opportunity to step in and end
the struggle which is now on.
While these conflicts in Central
America are never taken very seri-
ously. they are nevertheless of con-
siderable moment in a material way.
In the instant case the combat has
been bloodier than the usual Cen.
tral American war, and the loss of
life and property has been much
heavier than heretofore. The easy
flow of commerce has been inter-
rupted, local industries paralyzed
and the business of the country 9TH
erwise interfered with In these cir
eumstances is it not the duty of the
United States and Mexico to put an
end to the struggle at the earliest
possible moment? The obligation is
upon these countries. and they ought
to meet IT, While the statement is
made that the war is practically

completion under his direction would
be an imperishable monument to his

NARROW ESCAPE.
James Howard, Selah Farmer, Was
Nearly Drowned.

While fording the Natchez river
Just below town, James Howard, a
Selah farmer, had narrow escape
from drowning and escaped only by
standing on the seat of his wagon
and urging his team to swim the
rapid waters until they reached safe
ground Mr.. Howard started to ford
the stream, but drove out of the
course and his team was soon beyond
its depth and the wagon floated part
of the distance, the water filling the
wagon box. The team struggled
through the water and urged on by
the driver soon reached shore.

LOOKING FOR A
LACK OF SPUOS
PRICES JUMP TO S26 AND SIT
But Few Left i'm Selah and McKee,
Are Buying from Minnesota
and the Palouse.

A great scarcity of potatoes is
looked for within a short time. There
is a great demand on the Sound for
Yakima potatoes, but the commits
sion men are unable to furnish them.
There are a few potatoes in the Selah
and Mckee, but not sufficient to last
any length of time. The demand is
so great that local dealers are pur-
chasing potatoes from Minnesota and
the Palouse country and shipping
direct to the Sound. They state that
they can purchase and ship them to
the Sound as cheap as the Yakima
article. The price increased within
the last few days to $26 and $27 per
ton, and it is expected there will be
an increase to $50 per ton before
another week The farmers have

ing washed out. A few shipments
are being loaded in the Selah and
shipped direct to the Sound. The
dealers have been receiving ship
ments from Minnesota and the Pa
louise country for some little time
and will continue to do so if the de-
mand remains strong.
HAY prices remain unchanpad
There IS good demand for the pro-
duet. but the farmers are holding
onto their crop for an increase in
price. They will not sell it or bring
it TO the city for shipment. The
dealers will not pay more than $12
per ton for alfalfa, and they are hav-
ing considerable difficulty in procur-
ing it at that price. There is plenty
of hay in the valley, but on account
of the low price being paid by the
dealers the farmers refuse to sell. 1t
is understood that there will be no
increase in the prices paid producers. |
Last Saturday prices of wheat and
oats increased. Oats increased from
SIS to $50 uer ton, and wheat from |
co cents per hundred to $3.50 per
hundred, These increases were
caused by scarcity of the products.
Other prices remain practically

GOOD RUN MADE BY
THE fire Fighters

Any of the citizens OF Hattiesburg
who were on the streets yesterday
morning when the fire department
turned out and made the run of about
one and one-half miles to the fire on
Edwards street could not have felt
otherwise than proud of the depart
ment.
A citizen of the Crescent City and
one who has had occasion and ample
opportunity to study fife departments
of many cities remarked that They
were moving out like a, real city de-
partment," and the News man then
reminded him that he\ was in the
Magic City and likely to see such
demonstrations of push and enrgy al
any old time.

Consistency sometimes ceases to be
a jewel as in the case, of a certain
hack driver in this city who carries
a sign on the side of his hack reading,
NFor Whites Only" when he drove
down Main street Monday afternoon
with a darby damsl rusticating upon
the &ushions of his carriage. The
Daily News man made an effort to
ascertain the number of his rig but
was unabke to do so.
The citizAps Of the city should make
a note of thSse actions on the par
of the cab drivers claiming to serve
only white patrGns and in instances
where they deviahe from this rule
patronage should be withheld from
them. Hattiesburg is zone of the frs
cities in the whole couhtry to inaugu
rate a Jim Grow" carthage arrange
