SYSTEM FOR MARKING PIGS
Easy Matter to Determine From What
Litter They Came and What
Sow Produced Them.

Before the young pure bred pigs that
are to be reserved for breeding pur-
poses and the breeders market are
weaned they should be marked in
some way so that later they may
readily and easily be identified as to
what litter they belong to and from
what SOW they were produced. Fail
ure to do this where large herds Of
swine are kept and many filters pro-
duced each season, often causes much

the land. All the correspondence
passed through her hands. She opened
all letters addressed to the company.
The first letter from Ferris had
been jubilant announcement of the
discovery of coal on his land. In that
frank way which people unused to the
ways of the world have Of mixing per-
sonal affairs and business he told how
long he had been hoping to find some
thing under his farm, as he never
could get 1t to grow much on top.
There had been some correspond
ence, and in each letter young Ferris
naively revealed something of his
home, his family, himself. Biker and
the junior made much sport over these
personal things In his letter, but they
were not funny to Miss 1ngle. She
saw instead frank, generous young
man struggling against odds to make
a living on the poor soil for his Or
iphaned younger brothers and sisters.
She could even see the weather-beat-
en-, implanted farmhouse and the
bleak, unproductive fields. She saw
the great tumult of excitement in the
little family when the coal was found;
saw the flame Of hope leap up in the
young mans face-and now he was to
be cheated out Of it.
The reply came on Friday. The
stenographer's hands trembled as she
opened it. She was glad no one else
was in the Office. The letter said in
part:
II was powerfully disappointed by

FREIGHT AND PASSENGER SERVICE
The Wenatchee Valley & Northern Rail
way to Begin Regular Schedule

A new caboose, intended to be used
for carrying passengers, is expected to
arrive the last of this week for use on
the Wenatchee Valley & Northern rail-
way. Regular trips will be made every
day from Leavenworth to the summit
of Beaver Creek hill, about fifteen miles
from town. In short time the track
will be completed to the Shugart place,
nearly twenty-four miles west of Leav-
enworth, when the service will be ex-
tended to that point. Both freight and
passengers will be carried, says Super
intendent Mcdonald.
All this week from six to eight loads
of logs were brought in to the mill
every day. Next week this number is
to be increased to fifteen.

BIG MILL STARTED THIS WEEK
Have Plenty of Logs In the Pond and d
Brisk and Increasing Demand
For Lumber

The Lamb-Davis Lumber Co.'S mill
closed down last fall on account of snow
which interferes with the operation Of
a saw mill in this locality in the winter.
The palmer has been running steadily
since the first week in March. On
Monday morning the big mill started
in on both sides with an abundance OF
logs on hand. At present las men are
employed in the saw mill and planer.
This number will be increased to 1870
or 100 in a short time. Last week
three and four cars OF lumber were sent
out from the planer every day. This
number was increased this week and
will continue to increase for some time.
The box mill is not yet in operation
but will be started soon.

to exceed last years demand on ac-

At recent meeting of the Wenat-
chez Commercial club the matter Of
asking the Great Northern railway to
establish a gasoline motor car service
between Leavenworth and Ephrata was
up for discussion. The club decided
to ask the company to establish this
service and also to put on gasoline
car for passenger service between We
natchee and Mansfield. At present
the service between the red apple
town and Mansfield is restricted to one
mixed service train, carrying both
freight and passengers, every "a hours.
The Hartman roads have installed
gasoline motor car service on their road
with great success. Where the local
travel between nearby points is heavy
and entirely dependent on long-run
thru trains it has been found profitable
for the company and very convenient
for the public. The operation of the
gasoline car is said to be comparatively
inexpensive. The Great Northern is
about to establish this service between
Seattle and Everett.

COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETS
Adopts Constitution and Bylaws and Takes
in New Members

Pursuant to adjournment the Com
mercial Club met in the opera house
Wednesday night. Nearly every mem
Der was present and unusual interest
was taken in the proceedings.
The constitution presented by the
committee was adopted without discus
sion, apparently being satisfactory to
the members.
The names of thirteen or fourteen
new members were enrolled and the
names of several others mentioned who
would join as soon as they could be
seen.
The matter of electing permanent
officers coming up motion was made
to suspend the bylaws, but as they con
tanned no provision for suspension a
motion was made to reconsider the
adoption, but was lost.
The bylaws provide for the election
of the first permanent officers on Mon
day, April A. They also provide for
the nomination Of all elective officers
by petition, which petition must con-
tain at least five names and must be
filed with the temporary secretary not
later than Saturday noon, April Q.
The committee on procuring rooms
for the club reported that the four
rooms in the Elliott building, including
light and heat. could be procured at a
monthly rental of $50, and the club de-
cided almost unanimously to accept
Mr.. Elliott's rooms. The location
could not be improved on and when
fitted up will provide a splendid home
for the club. The meeting then adj
journed to meet again next Monday

The Increased Cost Of Living

Just now the question most dis
cussed by the newspapers and maya
zines and uppermost in the minds OF a
majority Of the people is the cost OF
living. So far our readers have heard
but one side of this question. We
have heard the plea of that small body
of men who stand between the pro-
Queer and the consumer.
Every day we read something in the
daily press from Mr.. Rockefeller which
is intended to explain the high price OF
oil, from Mr.. Armour or Mr.. Swift
about the high price of meat, from MIR.
James J. Hill, who says high prices are
caused by under production of the
necessaries of life, and then comes the
president and intimates that the high
price of food products is caused by an
over-production of gold.
All of these explanations are intend
ed to soothe the victim of this high
cost OF living. Mr.. Armour is in
clined to lay the blame on God. Now
many Of US, if we could be convinced
that divinity had something to do with
the increased cost of our bread and
meat would meekly submit, while
many OF US, if we could be convinced
that the high cost of living is solely
due to natural causes, might bow to
the inevitable.
Having listened to the voice OF the
special pleaders who represent that
small body of men who stand between
the producer and the consumer, let us
now hear what the representative of the
producer and consumer, about ninety
per cent of the population, has to say
for his clients.
The Echo is this week printing an
article from the pen Of Allan L. Ben
son, in the March number Of Pearson S
Magazine. In the view of the editor
of this paper it is a clear, cold state
ment Of the facts, compiled from gov
eminent statistics-those same statis-
tics which Mr.. Hill quoted in support
of his contention that the high cost Of
living is due to a dimunition in the
number of hogs, cattle and sheep, and
to the further fact that the number Of
men engaged in farming in proportion
to the population is not as great as it
was twenty years ago, when the cost OF
living was considerably less. To reach
correct conclusions it is worth while to
hear both sides.
