BEARDLESS LOVER
GETS NOVEL REVENGE.

Geneva, Italy. A young couple
at Dawes were to have been married
shortly but the girl Tilted her lover
because he shaved off his little beard
Though he pleaded for several weeks
she refused to see him or reply to his
letters.
The Tilted lover took a novel re-

all the love letters he had received
from his fiancee on the walls of her
residence.
Next morning a crowd collected be-
fore the house and was busily engag-

ancee discovered the affair. While a
gendarme kept back the crowd the
servants armed with brushes, soap
and water, scrubbed off the love let
ters from the walls.
"Heartless girl, I return you your
letters" was written in large letters
above the correspondence.
The girl, who is very indignant,
says she intends to take a similar re-

NSfSNAo4
Milton, Ore, July 25.-Fred Small,
proprietor of the cleaning and dye
ing works at this place, was robbed
of $50 in cash last night by a bed
fellow whom he had befriended.
Small retired about IL O'Clock last
night taking with him Lyle Bryan
whom he had met sometime ago al
Weston. When he woke up in the
morning he found his room mate gone
but supposing he had gotten UP early
and was out on the street, Small
proceeded to dress, when he discover
ed his trousers missing with $50 in
cash. \ hasty search resulted in find
ing the trousers in the woodshed. with
the pockets rifled. Officers were soon
notified and the young man, BRYAN,
was located at Tum-a-Lum park. He
denied taking the money, but told
Small if he would go with him to
Walla Walla he would get the money
for him rather than have Small
think that he took it. At last reports
the man had not returned, so it was
impossible to ascertain whether he
got the money or not.
Jack Monroe of Walla Walla, who
has been running an ice cream fac
tory here closed the doors last night
and will discontinue the business.

HIGH COST OF LIVING

The following timely editoria
appears in the Railroad Red Bool
for July:
Recently about every one VIII
can spare the time from the illus
i've race of garnering enough round
dollars to meet current expenses
has been devotlng energy and
brain to solving the problem
Why is it that it costs SO much
to liver The Congress grappled
with it in very much of a grand
stand play-but High Cost never
batted an eye. The many rene.
dies suggested remind US very
much of the countless cures for
rheumatism-they work in some
cases, but this particular case is
different.
Right off the bat salaried peo-
pie want their wages raised, SO
that we can pay the increased cost
OF living. But plainly this would
not help the situation ultimately,
because if we further increased
the cost of manufacture the manu-
tacturer must again raise his
prices, and we would be back
again to where we started.
"a tangible ray of solution has
been sprung by Mr.. William G.
Brown, president of the New York
Central Railroad, in the current
issue of The Independent, wherein
he suggests that the remedy for
the present high cost of living is
to get more out of the land. we
have been failing lately in agri-
culture says Mr.. Brown. Dur
ing the last ten years our farms
have produced an average yield of
wheat amounting only to IA bush
els to the acre.
"Mr. Browns solution looks
good, for evidently, if We can
make two blades of grass grow
where we are only growing one
now, the cost per head for pastur.
ing will of necessity become cheap
or.
I'm line with this thought it is
well worth while to turn to the
tremendous importance of irrigated
lands. Last years report of the
United States Department Of Ag-
riculture shows that the average
yield of wheat per acre in Iowa,
Kansas, Nebraska, Wisconsin and
Minnesota was about 13t bushels
per acre, while the average yield
in Colorado was over "a bushels
per acre, and this average was
considerably lowered because dry
farming acreage was taken into
the general total. AS a matter of
record irrigated lands yield an
average Of about 40 bushels of
wheat per acre.
Potatoes in Colorado show an
average yield of l22 bushels per
acre, while seven other large
potato producing states show an
average Of s3! bushels per acre.
This same relative production
per acre is shown in many other
things that We cat.
ut seems to us that the irrigated
fertile fields of the Rockies hold
the solution Of the High Cost OF
Living problem.
"1n this great West there are
irrigated lands for many, many
thousands of families, and the
present widespread interest in
them is sure to have beneficial
effect on our national development
and happiness.
"Why should people go to the
inhospitable climate of Canada

THE SONS OF ST. PATRICK.

The genial and sunshiny good
cheer usually associating itself with
st. Patrick's day is a reminder of
the enormous progress made among
us by the sons and daughters of old
Erin's isle. When the so-called
railroad Irish" who were doing the
hard work of building our railroads
about fifty to sixty years ago, first
began to come over, who could have
predicted how far their children and
grandchildren would have climbed
today?
Inside of these red-shirted and
rough-bearded old toilers there was
purpose as firm as steel, to make
their way in the world. And so to-
day there has mingled with the old
English race strain of warm
hearted Celtic blood, distinguishable
from the old stock by nothing ex-
cept the mellow toned names of the
old Irish county families.
And today these old Irish names
rank with the leaders of politics,
business and the profess ions. They
bring here q genius for friendship,
that make them political force,
and a warm heart and whimsical
humor that make them delightful
companions.

NEWSPAPER EVOLUTION.

Constant study of the newspaper
press of our state impresses us with
the idea that all of our newspapers
are making a constant improvement.
Compared even with a few years ago
there is cleaner press work, clearer
type, growing news facilities.
Every publisher has to keep up
with a procession that is constantly
advancing. And thus most news
paper publishers find their expense
account steadily climbing. How are
they meeting these conditions?
In our opinion, by the growing
recognition that the local newspaper
performs the work of a Board of
Trade. 1t is a direct agent of the
business interests in their effort to
make city grow. If inadequately
supported, it gives as bad an impress
sion outside as to send out a sales
man clothed in seedy garments.
Every business house ought to rea-
lize, that the impression formed of
this city in the outside world, is
largely dependent upon the ability
of this city's newspapers to improve
their typographical facilities, and to
follow the lines of modern journal
ism. The moral is obvious.

were sold in Iowa.
These are the figures shown in
the annual report of H. r. Wright,
state food and dairy commissioner,

The report further shows that dur
ing the year 1909 far less butter
was shipped out of the state than

roads reported that S7,773,S35
pounds of butter were carried from
this state by them. The 1908 re-

decrease 11,197.156 pounds.
The report further shows that

Commissioner Wright devotes
considerable space in his report tc
the question of city milk inspection
He states that while fourteen of the
cities of the state have city milk
inspection, he regrets the fact thai
there is not more of it.
The report shows also that there
are 543 creameries in the state re
porting to the commissioner ant
that there are but nine cheese fac
tories.
