FORTUNES SENT EAST
Millions Each Year Sent Away for
Eggs and Butter.

Eggs and Butter.
SPOKANE, Wash, Feb. 24.-Sta-
tistics compiled by commission mer-
chants in Spokane show that 100
cars, or 100000 dozens of eggs
were imported from middle western
and adjoining states to supply the
market demands of this city In 1907,
in addition to which hundreds of
thousands of dozens were produced
in the country tributary to Spokane.
The average price of fresh ranch eggs
is 80 cents a dozen. Including poul-
try, II is estimated that from $4,000
600 to 100000 a year is sent to
growers In the middle western states
by dealers who supply the needs of
the markets of the Inland Empire,
and that the value of the poultry and
eggs produced in this country is
SIS, 900. 900
Dealers say much of the $4,000, 900
could be distributed in this district If
more attention were given to poultry
culture, which can be carried on sue
cessfully In connection with fruit
growing and truck gardening. 1t
will be many years, they add, before
the supply will be anywhere near
equal to the demand in the home
markets alone, hence the products
will always find ready sale at top
prices. Climatic conditions are fa-
voTable, and there are no such dis
eases as gapes or cholera to deplete
the young brood or devastate the
full-grown capon.
To show what can be done even on
a comparatively small scale is illus
trated by the experience of Mrs. j. e.
Balmer, r. F. d, No. 4. Spokane, who
started raising chickens. in 1905.
Her statement of what she accom-
plished from January i, 1907. to jan
uary 1, 1908. follows:
Beginning the year with ITO
White Leghorn hens, sold 22,079
eggs at an average of SO cents a
dozen, or $662,37; Matched and
reared 1900 chicks, selling Gao broil-
ers at SO cents each, or $500, and had
at the end of the year $40 pullets
and 20 cockerels, which l could sell
on the local market for $3.50, making
a total of $1562.37. 1t cost $44O.76
for feed; 172 IA dozens of eggs for
Matching, $61.95, making total ex-
pense, besides time and labor. of
$502.71. and leaving me a net profit
of $1O59.66 for the years work"

TARIFF REFORM

Many people agree with President

forming to curb the power of the
trusts. but will disagree with his
statement that this should not be
done until after the presidential cleo
tion. II thing is rotten the sooner
IL Is cut out the better 1t Is for the
people, regardless OF It's effect on the

Fines and inJunctions viii not cure

protective tariff remains. The fallacy
Of the Mark Hanna cry OF full din
ner pail has been exploded by the
present condition Of business. espe-
cially In the manufacturing centers
of the east, where the dinner pail has
been empty for the past six months.
The people are beginning to realize
what the real cure for trust robbery
is and that they must reach the root
Of the evil by cutting out the high
protective tariff. The full dinner
pail cry has lost It's force.
We do not contend that the protec-
tive feature of the tariff should be
entirely eliminated. but 1t should be
changed to produce revenue sufficient
to meet public expenses with protec-
ton 70 cover such articles as actually
need It. Luxuries. such as foreign

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 24.-The
action of the police in preventing the
meeting Of a number of socities and
organizations in the foreign settle
ment in the southern section of the
city has aroused much i'll feeling
among foreigners. The action fol-
lowed an order by Director of Pub
lie Works Clark in which the police
were directed to stop the anarchists
from holding any meetings. The or
der was given in consequence of the
riot that followed the parade of un-
employed foreigners here on Thurs
day.
The meeting of a Jewish benefi-
ciary society was stopped, as was also
one that was to have been addressed
by a well-known lawyer, who was to
have talked on "Anarchism." De-
spite the police vigilance the pro-
fessed anarchists did hold meeting
in a hall, at which time they decided
to retain lawyer and prepare to adj
vertise and hold big meeting SO
that they can test the law and see
whether they have the right of free

placed itself on record as opposed to
the parades "of unemployed" by re-
fusing to attend labor meeting in

MINISTER'S VIEWS OF SALOONS
Is Not Enemy Of the Saloon Man, but
of His Business.

- W. ANnShhy "a tAlt OhAOOn MAN, Out
of His Business.
Last Sunday evening the Rev. w.
H. Fry of the Methodist church
preached his third series of Sunday
evening sermons on Popular Influ-
ence." Speaking Of the influence of
the liquor dealer, he said in part:
II am not here tonight to heap
abuse upon the head of any man, no
matter what his calling in life is. |
do not believe any man is called into
the ministry to be a scold. 1t is pos
sible to hate a mans business and
not hate the man. God, who knows
my heart, is my witness that | do
not hold q spark in enmity toward
any creature living. The saloon man
is my brother. my brother for
whom Christ died. | would delp him
II he were in need and his cause pre-
sented to me as quickly as | would
help any man who has lawful claim
upon my attention. / usually try to
stick to my subject, and / shall make
no exception tonight.
THE liquor business Is a degrad-
ing and losing business, look at 1t
from any standpoint you may. 1t
disqualifiies man for proper con-
duct in his business, and IL he gives
vent to his appetite It ruins him So
oially and breaks up his family. how
ever delightful or amiable that fam
lily may be. II he gives himself to
the business 1t will ruin him for any
profession, however gifted or infiu-
entail he may be In that profession
and whatever his standing may be In
life. II We consider any part of this
problem, except the pocket of the
greedy liquor dealer and those who
thrive on his profits, we must con-
denim 1t, The weak man who deludes
himself that he need not be ensnared
in Its meshes, but can daily with its
pleasures, viii awake some day when
1t is too late in despair to find him
self beyond recovery. These have
gone in unbroken procession down
the back ALWAYS and along the sew
ers OF time to an awful and hopeless
reckoning. They are a poor. miser-
able, repulsive lot. Many of them
were radiant when they entered the
saloon for the FIRST time, but now
they have become besotted, be-
smeared. bewlldered. repulsive, de-
moraliZed, damned while they yet
live. The business has broken the
hearts of thousands of mothers and
sent many u father broken and shat
tered to a premature grave. He per-
haps was too proud to display his
grief, but held It like the poison OF
a viper to his heart till 1t poisoned
the very fountain of his being. Any

her worst enemy, too. He would not
give up the thing that claimed a share
of his time, his attention, his money.
Gradually the awful influence alien
ated his heart from that blooming.
trusting creature who to him was an
angel of light, and led him to turn
upon her as though she was demon
and smite her with the hand with
which he had sworn to protect her.
We saw her yesterday. 1t was years
ago she stood at the altar. In these
years he has driven away all who
loved her and she has given up all,
hoping to win him back to sobriety.
But now she stands alone, shivering
in the presence of a cold world,
which asks why she made such a
fool of herself, and jeers her with
the taunt that she did not need to
do 1t. She looks at the world with
gaunt, hungry eyes and hugs a de-
fective child to her chilly heart and
wonders why 1t lived, and asks where
God is and what has become of the
life she thought she saw when she
was girl. Hearing no answer to
her wild cry and no one giving heed
to her pleading, she has crept away
in her rags, folded her poor child to
her cold bosom and slept, and has
been forgotten. No, not forgotten;
we have heard her gutteral voice in
despair as she croaked to us in our
sleep and asked, How long, oh, God,
how long? Is the picture too
strong? Have l imposed too much
upon your imagination? | think not,
for / can show you that same picture
in Occur d'Alene.
"A trade which fiourishes upon the
ruin of its supporters, which derives
its revenues from the plumber of the
homes and from the defrauding of
helpless childhood, from the degra-
dation of manhood; which requires
for its prosperity the injury of the
community, which ministers to every
vile and vicious passion and propen-
sity, which makes drunkards and
thieves, embezzlers and murderers;
which brutalizes and degrades all
who are brought in contact with 1t,
cannot claim the respect and assured
ly ought not to claim the encourage
