FIRST ROUND
(Ev United Press,)

PORTLAND, Jan. 11.-Binger
Hermann wont the first rund in
his battle before the United States
court this morning, when his attor-
ney, A. S. Worthington, won ten
peremptory challenges for him in
selection, as against three for the
government. Prosecutor Heney,
after having opposed the conten-
ton of the defense, conceded the
position of the defense and with
drew his objections. This move
gives the defense big advantage
in jury selection.

Is Harry Dewey, the suspect who
was captured on the north side
yesterday by Superintendent OF
of Merchant Police Ed Stauffer,
the man who blew up the safe OF
the Standard Oil Co. in Seattle?
The authorities think that they
have every reason to believe that
Dewey was connected with that
bold robbery.
Additional evidence in the case
of this suspect was secured when
Stauffer and Detective Briley raid
ed the room in which Dewey has
been staying in the Hogan block
last night. 1t was at this time that
they captured Fred Dewey, who de-
clares he is a brother and who is
believed to be an accomplish of the
suspect. 1s---

TERMS

The terms will be a special con-
sideration to come at this season,
and for this reason we have ar
ranged to accept unusually low pay
ments. The fact is, it is more i'm
portant that we reduce our stock by
selling these instruments now than
it is that we hold them for good
prices ond large payments.
There is everything in your
favor; every reason why you

CATCH IN DEWEY?

have complete housekeeping out
fit in their quarters at the Hogan
block. They were prepared to
keep to their room for days ii nee
essary. Frank Dewey, who is book
ed as a suspect, is a man about so
years of age, while the Dewey cap

MORE CONFIDENCE IN BANKS

According to reports submitted
to Postmaster w. P. Edris by Su-
perintendent Mccall of the money
order department, there is shown a
decided decrease in money han
died in that department this year.
This is a good indication. however,
as it shows that the foreigner. par
ticularly the Italians, are showing
much more confidence in the stabil-
thy of the local banks. This will
mean better financial conditions

WHY LIVING COSTS so MUCH

The cost of living committee, ap-
pointed by the United States senate,
has made its report. Senator Lodge
was chairman of the committee. An
Associated Press dispatch describes
the report in this way: The re-
port made by Senator Lodge found
that of the many causes contributing
TO the advance of prices the following
were most marked Increased cost
of production of farm products by
reason of higher land values and
higher wages. Increased demand for
farm products and food. Shifting of
population from food-producing to
food-consuming occupations and To-
calities. immigration to food con-
suming localities. Reduced fertility
of land resulting in lower average
production in increased expenses
for fertilization. Increased banking
facilities in agricultural localities
which enabled farmers to hold their
crops and market them to the best
advantage. 1t is found that this not
only steadied prices but had a ten
dency to increase them. Cold stor-
age plants which result in preventing
extreme fluctuation of prices of GER
tain commodities with the seasons,
but by enabling the wholesalers to
buy and sell at the best possible ad-
vantage, tending to advance prices.
Increased cost of distribution. In
dustrial combination. Organizations
of producers or of dealers. Adver-
tising, over capitalization. Higher

findings were gathered by measuring
the prices of 257 commodities. in
cluded in the price of index number
of the bureau of labor. These com
modities were grouped with the ad-
vances during the period from 1900
to 1909 inclusive. The general whole
sale price level duties advanced
during that period 14.5. The groups
show advances as follows: Farm
products, 1913; food, etc, 1871; tim
Der and building materials, 1876; mis-
ce'laneous commodities. 14.7; cloths
and clothing, 12.0; fuel, SO; house
furnishing goods. 5.3; metals and
implements. SO; A decline was
shown for drugs and chemica "a
mounting to 90 per cent. The report
states that in view of the fact that
the increases have been SO much
greater in products coming either
directly or indirectly from the farms
than in any other line excepting pro-
ducts of the forest, the conclusion
must be reached that the most i'm
portant cause for the advance is to
be found in study of farm condi-

A QUIET FOURTH.

quietly and the greatest excitement
Cf the day was in the morning when
Henry Hamilton took a photograph
Of Main street. In the afternoon the
young folks and the old folks matched
game of base ball which resulted
in score of to 10 in favor of the
old folks Dan Jeffers broke the bat
making home run hit and that broke
up the game because no more wagon
tongues heavy enough for men were
handy.
In the afternoon wind storm
made things disagreeable but by even
