GROWING COST OF LIVING.

The statistics of production gath
cred by the agricultural department OF
the government show that the per
capita production OF all the staple farm
products OF the country. except sheep,
Il increasing. This being true. how can
the growing cost OF living be account
ed for? In spite OF the greater pro-
portionate supply OF wheat and corn
and cattle, we are confronted with con-
stantly rising prices for bread and
meat, says Philadelphia Record. We
have more cotton and dearer cotton
cloths. The simple explanation OF
short supply put forth by the PAM
pered monopolies which control the
buying and selling of our staples is
contradicted by the fact. The alleged
scarcity is only an excuse for rapine.
How long can we keep on at our pres
ent gait of advancing the cost OF food
and clothing so per cent, and rents Is
per cent, while there is only a contem-
poraneous Offset of 20 per cent. in the
form of increased wages? How long
before. in our policy OF building up
monopolies, we shall reach the point
when the further development OF the
national resources along lines con-
trfbuting to the general prosperity will
be made impossible.

Philadelphia reports fatality which
proves that care is highly necessary in
the inspection of live stock destined
for slaughter. A meat cutter in a re-
tail establishment was taken to one
of the city hospitals while suffering
from mysterious disease. He told
the physicians that while he was cut
ting up meat splinter of bone few
against his lips and caused an abra-
sion. Soon his lip began to swell. and
as the swelling refused to yield to
treatment he applied for admission to
hospital. where he eventually died
after much suffering. An inquest and
post norton was held, and after hear
ing the report of the surgeons who
examined the victims body. the coro-
ner rendered verdict that death was
due to infection with anthrax, which is
commonly known as the foot and
mouth disease.

BIG COMBINE
POWER MERGER KNOWN AS COM
MoNWEALTH POWER, RAIL
WAY AND LIGHT CO.
ELECTRIFY THE STATE
Big Merger 10 First Step Toward
Revolution In the Furnishing OF
Power for Use In All Lines OF In
dustry-"Juice" to Be Sold Farmers.

The Commonwealth Power, Railway
& Light Co., which is the name OF
the new merger of the power and trac-
ton interests OF Michigan. has for
mally announced the combine. The
company is capitalized at $1S,00O,0oO,
OF which one-third is preferred stock
and the rest common The electrifi-
cation of Michigan is by no means the
industrial dream that the phrase may
suggest upon first thought. The mer-
ger OF electrical, gas and electric
traction lines by the Hodenpyl-Wal-
bridge. Clarke and Foote interests is
the first big step toward the actual
identification of Michigan, and the
now somewhat shadowy plans for the
future of five or six years hence are
almost amazing, and yet perfectly
practicable.
They include nothing less than max
ing hydro-electric power in such vast
quantities that ii can be sold so cheap
ly that the average farmer will use
electricity for light and power, and
the plans of the merger, while by no
means denitely outlined, include the
supplying of electrical current to
thousands or FARMERS.
The statement made at Saginaw by
the syndicate to the stockholders
shows that the properties are to be re-
arranged that the electrical companies
are separated from the gas properties,
and that the hydro-electric properties
are most prominent in the deal. John
c. Weadock. attorney for the syndi-
cate declared that the Au Sable river
alone would supply current for the en-
tire Saginaw valley as far south as
the tier Of counties below Flint, and
that it would not only furnish current
for all of the cities in that territory,
but for thousands of farmers.
The 10 dams TO be constructed on
the Au Sable will generate nearly 10O,-
900 horsepower. None of the dams
and generating stations will cost much
less than 100000; several cost more.
Manufactured in such enormous guam
titles, the current can be offered at a
low cost.
What is true of the Au Sable propo-
sition is true of the Grand Rapids &
Muskegon Co. and the Commonwealth
Co. The engineers reports show that
neither the Commonwealth Co. nor the
Grand Rapids-Muskegon Co. Is using
more than a small fraction of the
power that can be developed. That
eventually the steam generating plants
will be supplanted IS not doubted, al
though officers of the company de-
clared that such results were now too
remote to discuss.

OF making new guns there is no end
Now comes a Pittsburg genius who as
serts that he has perfected an electric
gun which is noiseless, smokeless and

field piece with which he says he has
thrown projectiles faster and farther
than when powder is used. With the
multiplication of such devices the bat
ties of the future may be uncommonly

and tumult of the regulation sort And
withal so destructive that men and
nations may well hesitate before re-
sorting to the sword and the noiseless

Port Huron Papers Consolidate.

Newspaper circles in Port Huron
underwent remarkable change when
the Daily Herald and the Daily Times
combined their interests. to be pub
lshed hereafter by the Times-Herald
Co. as morning and evening newspa-
pers. The officers of the new company
are: President, e. J. Ottaway vice
president and treasurer, Louis A. We'll;
secretary, Herbert i. We'll. The prin-
cipal stockholders are L. A. Sherman,
l.. A. We'll and E. J. Getaway. John
A. Maurer is the other stakeholder.
The combination will result in the
Herald retaining the afternoon field
and the Times becoming a morning
publication.
Fred Sherman will retire from the
newspaper business in Port Huron.

Since Great Britain left to Canada
the matter OF Dominion defense there
has been more or less discussion as to

ANNOUNCED as likely that the bill
which the government will introduce
at the coming session Of parliament
will provide for an appropriation Of
10000. 900, extended over six or seven
years, and that the money will be de-
voted to the construction of dozen
varships and of drydocks and ship
building plants. This will be in reality
but the entering wedge to war expen-

dian navy there will also have to be a

should be big and costly military
