output and the employment of la
Dor, and tending to increase the
wages of the workers. An illustra-
ton of this view appears in the ex-
perienc of the steel trust. Not
withstanding the panic of 1907 in
the United States, it made great pub
lie announcement sweeping reduc-
ton in prices.
The result was prompt and very
marked revival of activity in the
domestic sales of iron and steel
products, leading to the planning and
ings and other structures and the re-
newal of operations in many indus
tries requiring iron and steel.
If American manufacturers of
lead, oil, chemicals, hardware,
harvesting machinery, watches, type
writer's, typesetting machines,
would give Americans the same prices
extended to foreigners, there is no
reason why their markets would not
be vastly enlarged, as were those Of
the steel trust. The American peo-
PIE constitute the greatest purchas-
ing possibilities in the world.
Experience with American trusts,
however, justifies the view Of down.
| ward revision unless that the manu-
facturers in the United States will
not reduce their domestic prices to
anywhere near the level of the prices
extended to foreigners until they are
forced to do so by real downward
revision of the tariff.
Going Up.
| Prices are still going up. As a
result of the upward revision of the
entire cotton schedule in the Payne
Aldrich law, the prices of woman's
and children's dress goods have in
creased considerably.
The John v. Farwell Company
says in review of the wholesale
dry goods trade that still more ad-
vances may be expected.
The review declares that almost
all manufacturing agents are ad-
vancing prices on manufactured cot
tons. AS it looks now prices will
continue to grow firmer and higher
in staple cotton goods"
This is Certain.

thize with men like LaFollette and

it is desirable to utter this note of

EXPERT HERE
TO INSTRUCT THE FARMERS

Mr.. Don H. Bark, chief of the Irri-
CATION Investigation Branch of the
Department of Agriculture was in
Caldwell Tuesday. Mr.. Bark is an ir-
rigation engineer in the employ of the
government. He is in Idaho for the
purpose of assisting the farmers and
irrigationists in getting the best re-
suits from their irrigated lands. He
proposes to conduct practical expert
ments on land in this section to de-
termine the exact amount of water
that can be profitably employed here.
In speaking of his work to a repre-
sentative of The Tribune, Mr.. Bark
said: - IS,
"Tho proper and economic amount
of irrigation water which should, be

ton upon the various classes Of soil

has been for each irrigator to use

ment is necessary for his crop, with
the result that, uniform results are
