PRICES AND THE BOYCOTT.

In response to the boycott on GER
tain foodstuffs, prices have begun to
go down. With the lowering of the
price on meat, butter and eggs may
be bought from 3 to per cent
cheaper than week ago in eastern
markets. Whether this reduction is
made in order to break the boycott,
or whether it is made in response to
real economic adjustment, time alone
will tell. Whatever be the reason
for the fall in prices, it is certain
that the united protest OF consumers
from all sections of the country has
made itself felt.
The boycott has again served to
direct attention to the causes of high
prices but no new reasons have been
advanced. Economic writer's attrib-
ute them to the existence of trusts,
tariff, over production of gold and
over spending. There can be little
question but that the American habit
of extravaganza and desire for lux
uries have contributed their due
share in producing this abnormal
condition in industry Past expert
ence, however, demonstrates that
wrong tendencies must become acute
dertaken for their correction and
doubtless some corrective will be
found to meet the eXigency caused

by abnormal prices.

In Walla Walla the commercial
club has taken the initiative In pro-
viding a course of instruction for
fruit growers. No charge is made
for tuition. Demonstrations are
given of the most approved methods
of packing and these are supplement
ed by lectures given on practical SUBJ
jects which relate to horticulture.
The idea has proved popular, judged
by the press reports which state that
some 800 are in attendance. 1t
might be worth while for the officers
of our commercial organization to
keep informed on the success of the
exDedient there with view of I'M
dertaking some similar expedient in
the future. The private school in
horticulture conducted by Professor
Trumble at the present time IS do
ing a good work and serves to keep
the Wenatchee valley in touch with
the latest results of horticultural
sicence.

While the locaf telegraph Office
cannot give out any information for
publication, remarks are often heard
on the street that 1t is doing a ire
mendous business and that another
operator will have to be installed, ac-
cording to all appearances. One BUSH
ness man who does a great deal of
telegraphing was of the opinion that
the local office was handling in the
neighborhood of one hundred mes
sages day.
Operator Goodyear works a twelve
hour shift and is busy every minute
At present there Is no way practical
for keeping the office open after p

A new turn has been given to the
senatorial situation in Washington
by the suggestion of President Taft
that Secretary Ballinger become a
candidate for the senate Washing
ton is a large state and under our
primary system wide opportunity is
given to any citizen to seek political
preferment. There is evidently going
to be no dearth of candidates for the
senatorship and If Secretary Ballin'
ger should decide to act on the pres
ident's suggestion, he would have his
share of the fun which the contest
will develop. People used to be sat

is not the case any longer.

acceptance of the Carnegie gift Of

building Under the terms OF this
gift $1,000 must be provided for

Engineer Ward stated that resi-
dents northwest OF King street and
south of First street feel aggrieved
about the plans for the proposed Inn
provement district. The sentiment
of the residents is in favor of an Inn
provement district. Engineer Ward
stated that he could handle two pro-
positions at the same time. having
q double crew, and he was instructed
to make a definite report on this
matter at the next meeting.
Councilman Thomas took up the
matter of the parking strips and
stated that he feared the owners
would not keep them up In proper
shape and there was considerable
discussion concerning the creation of
maintenance district for the sup
port of parking strips in which own
ers could be assessed. Nothing was
done on this matter, however.
Improvement ON Mission Street.
In accordance with the resolution
passed some time ago, the city was
instructed to prepare an ordinances
for the improvement of Mission
street from First to the city
limits. The original plan was to
pave Mission street from First to
Kittitas. but owing to the fact that
it is the intention to put down steel
sewer pipes on this street this year
it was thought best to defer the paw
ing another year, consequently tina
improvement on this street will con-
sist of grading. cement sidewalking
and parking strips. in certain dis
tricts.
The matter of disposing of the old
fire building came up for considera-
ton. DInasmuch as the new quarters
will be ready in few days 1t has
been thought best to move this build
ing at once The Salvation Army has
talked of securing it but has made
no offer for it. The building cost
about $500 and will cost another
500 to move it. and it may be that
the city will move it on grounds out
side of the fire limits and use 1t for
a store building for the city.
