HIGH PRICES or LIVING
Remarkable Advance in Prices Paid to the
Farmers for FoodStuffs

After careful and exhaustive study
of market conditions in Pacific North
west during the past eight years Presi-
dent Harvey Beckwith OF the Portland
Commercial Club makes the startling
statement that prices paid to farmers
for eleven articles of food, all necessi-
ties, advanced 31.4 per cent between
April, 1902, and October, 1910, and
he backs up his statement by quotations
from market reports published in Port
land during that period.
THE figures" said President Beck
with, indicate that Portland is high
priced market for farm produce, and
the high prices are directly chargable
to the great increase in consumption
over production. The demands of a
rapidly growing population have more
than kept pace with the increase in the
quantity OF essential foodstuffs sent to
market by the farmers Of the state, and
this condition is one that is not likely
to be changed for long time, if ever,
and the situation is a very inviting one
to the producer.
In the table of prices submitted
herewith are two items to which l de-
sire to call particular attention-eggs
and poultry. There is no good reason
why the Pacific Northwest should not
produce eggs and chickens enough to
fully supply the local demand, and thus
relieve the wholesalers from the necss-
sity of ordering carload after carload
from the Middle West. There is abso-
lutely no danger Of overproduction in
these lines. In fact, there is little
prospect that the supply will ever ex-
ceed, or even equal, the demand.
LET US assume there are 5000 farm
ers in Oregon and at the present time
each farmer is keeping an average Of
20 hens. 1t is probably fair to estimate
that each hen will raise during the
coming summer brood Of 10 chickens
and during the balance Of the year will
lay II dozen eggs. The chickens
should certainly be worth so cents each
when ready for market, and the eggs
will sell at minimum price Of 25 cents
per dozen, total Of So, and the farmer
still has the original hen. An addition
of only one hen by each farmer, on this
basis, will amount 20 $4O,0 annually
and, if given the time and attention
this important industry deserves, the
net returns from the poultry yards Of
the state may easily exceed those from
the wheat fields"

Olympia will retain the state capital
for all time to come, now the legisla-
ture has decided to go ahead with the
permanent capitol building. The sum
Of $3.50, 900 has been appropriated to
construct a Temple of Justice. 1t will
house the state supreme court, the
state law library, and the Office of the
attorney general. According to this
plan a group Of structures will be built,
thus enabling the 100000 foundation
already in to be utilized for the main
building. A harmonious architectural
scheme has been proposed, which will
give Washington one Of the most at
uactive capital layouts in the country.

Teachers Pension Fund

An opinion has been rendered by
the attorney general providing if any
OF the common school fund is diverted
and placed in the teachers pension
fund the teachers pension law will be
unconstitutional. He holds the pen
sions will not benefit the common
schools, and the law provides the COM
mon school fund shall not be used ex-
cept for the benefit OF the schools.

On the last day Of the session the
senate passed H. B. 421, laying out a
state road from Spokane by way Of
Wenatchee and Waterville to the Pacific
Empire road at Ellensburg, leaving that
road at Renton and continuing to Aber-
deem via Olympia, and from Olympia

Representative Atkinson was one OF
those who voted against the indefinite
postponement of the bill which provided
for the creation OF a commission Of three
members to be appointed to handle the
affairs OF the state land department,
Ross to serve during the remainder
of his term and the two others to be
appointed as soon as the law took effect,
and to abolish the Office of state land
commissioner, when it was indefinitely
postponed in the house during the last
days Of the session by vote of SIS to
Al. The Ross forces had announced
earlier in the week they could kill the
bill, as they had 55 votes "roped and
branded for that purpose, and the re-
suit OF the vote on the bill proved they
had the votes. James McNeely OF
Pierce made a speech against the bill
and in defense of Ross, which was con-
ceded to be the most eloquent plea
heard during the entire session.

Seattle has undergone a complete
political revolution, in an of year, SO
far as regular elections are concerned.
Following closely on the heels OF the
recent recall election, the old city
council has also been turned out of
office. Under a new law, just becom-
ing effective, the city's legislative body
has been reduced to nine members at
large, wiping out the old ward lines.
All of the so-called ring candidates were
relegated to the rear. The majority Of
the new body is made up Of new men.
The reelected councilmen, four in num-
Der, were all of the reform element.
Besides this, the people approved an
$800,000 bond issue to be used in ac-
curing a trunk street car line, which
will be municipality operated. All other
bond issues, for library and other pur-
poses, were turned down, indicating the
people have made up their minds pretty
definitely how they want to spend their
money.

Railroad travel is becoming safer
every year. Figures compiled by sta
tisticians OF the Hartman lines show
during the calendar year 1910 not a
single passenger was killed on the
Union Pacific, the Southern Pacific or
the Mexican Branch of the Southern
Pacific, covering total of II, 1850 miles.
During the period more than 400, ,000,-
900 persons were carried on the lines.
Unusual efforts have been made during
the past few years by the Hartman
roads to reduce the number of acci-
dents. There has been large increase
in the number Of safety devices en-
ployed, with the result the Hartman
system now has more miles Of automatic
block signals than any other line in the
world.

A systematic handling Of all the
fruits Of the Northwest will be effected
if the various districts ratify the plan
adopted at the recent Walla Walla con-
ference. In the past there has been
an utter lack of cooperation on the part
OF the growers of the several districts
whose interests are identical AS the
result Of the lack of any systematic dis
tribution Of fruits some markets have
been glutted, while others were over
looked. There has been unnatural and
disastrous competition. ending in losses
to the producer as well as the dealer.
Now it is proposed a central agency be
be formed, through which all of the
apples, peaches, pears, prunes, etc., OF
the Northwest are to be sold. The
organization is to be for the mutual
benefit Of all the growers. Modem
business methods will be employed to
secure adequate distribution, but there
will be nothing in the organization
tending to a restraint of trade. H. w.
Otis of Peshastin, chairman OF the
executive committee, which is now lay
ing the matter before all the districts,
says the central selling agency will seek
to advance the interests of the grower
and consumer, and incidentally benefit
the legitimate dealer by eliminating to a
great extent the speculative uncertainty
