MANY CHICAGO COMMISSION MEN
ON BRINK OF FAILURE.
viii Mean a Stamp in Prices

Millions of Pounds of Ancient Frozen
Butter, Eggs, Cheese and Chickens
Held in Warehouses; viii Be
Thrown on the Market. Over
stocking Reason Given for Cut.
Observation-Disclosures of pounds of
butter,8eggs, cheese and poultry held
in the cold storage warehouses here
will be thrown on the market be-
fore May l and general ,tumbling
of food prices is expected at once,
according to commission merchants.
Numerous Chicago commission men
are said to be facing failure as a
result Of their efforts to maintain
an artificial price on the necessities
OF life. The inability further to up
hold this price is said to be due
to a combination of circumstances,
chief of which are the open winter
OF 1911 and the banner crops of
1910.
Three commission men failed in
the last week as a result of holding
great quantities of butter which they
purchased at an average price of 81
cents pound and now are unable
to market for more than 27 or %
cents pound.
While the wholesale prices of but
ter and eggs have dropped decidedly
within the past few weeks there has
as yet been no decline in the retail
prices.
Much of the produce which is to
be unloaded on falling market has
been in the warehouses for as long
storage commission men have been
able to maintain an artificial price
not only to the consumer, but to the
producer, it is said.
No public warehouse report is ev-
er made here, and the exact amount
OF produce in the hands of the Chi
cagO firms cannot be estimated.
Ihirty-two warehouses are known to
nave 44,000,00O pounds of butter,
eggs and poultry.
Men familiar with the market say
1t would be impossible to say wheth-
er 1t was only small percentage OF
the whole amount.
The increased sale of oleomargar-
Inc is given as an added cause for
the situation. The commission men
now find themselves facing thous-
ands of consumers who, being unable
to pay the price at which butter has
been held, have become users of ole
omargarine.
Butter is cents pound lower
at Wholesale than it was year ago,
and is selling at the lowest figure
in several years. An indication of
the decline in the last ten days is
shown in the following:
Jan. Eggs, fresh, SAC; prime,
BIC; firsts, 80.

The wholesale price of smoked
meats, beef and pork has been
slightly reduced in price. The big
corn crop of 1910 is given as the
cause.

Wants Consumer to Get His Share

w anus consumer 10 OeC Ills oudFes
New York.-Commissio men in
New York announce the same condi-
ton in the trade as outlined in the
western dispatch. In fact, it was
made known here last night that the
butter and egg men were greatly
overstocked and that reductions to
the retailer would be made immedi-
ately. The wholesalers were en-
phatic in thir statements that certain
reductions would be made, and they
wanted the news made public in
order that the consumer might de-
mand corresponding cuts from his
dealer. In other words, they feared
that the retail men also buying from
the jobber at cheaper rates would
maintain their prices to the custom
ers.
According to the jobbers the finest
fresh eggs should sell tomorrow for
from 33 to 35 cents a dozen as
against from SO to SIS cents last
week. The finest grades of butter
they said should bring from 80 to 35
cents a pound as compared with so
and SO cents last week. Overstock-
ing is given as the cause of the pro-
posed cut, and it is said that milk
is likely to take a drop.

MURDERER'S CHOICE

James B. Nc Namara ought to
hang. There is no proper, reason
BILE or just alternative for or quail
fication of this statement. And
yet James B. Mcnamara in prison
for life, a self-copfessed murderer,
will do more for the general cause
and protection of society than would
James B. Mcnamara on the gallows
protesting his innocence.
The trade of his worthless life for
his confession scores heavily for
capital. punishment in California.
Had the gallows been abolished in
that state as it has been abolished
in Oregon by the usurped author
ity of a governor untrue to his oath
of office, the Mcnamara trial would
be grinding it's weary way through
the next SIX or eight months with
no end in sight that would COM
pletely fit the case.
It is not of great moment to this
conclusion that the sudden enter
ing of plea of guilty bears strong
SAVIOR of a bargain to save others
from consequences of guilty acts.
There is-it cannot be denied-the
bubbling up of something under
meath the surface. There was $780,

There was more money on the way.
One of the Nations noted criminal
lawyers was employed in his behalf.
Associate counsel represented diff.
ferent walks in life and was chosen

SEARCH FOR 4tjDN;

Sheriff Makes an Invest
ton of killing.

From Deputy Sheriff Thomp-
son who was in Dixie last week
to make inquiries ine6the story
told by one Sa}puei Pruitt,
who surrende Nm II TO the
sheriff, claiiningN that He had
killed his partner, E. c. Rucker,
it is learned that there is a pos
sibibity that the mans story may
have some foundation to it,. .....
y AT Dixie the two parties were
known, having came there with
a party of surveyors that were
ship wrecked on the Salmon river
about 18 months ago. Those
who Knew Rucker state that he
was of a quarrelsome disposition,
and was in a little trouble in that
camp =.
At Dixie, the deputy sheriff
made arrangements with Billy
Robinson to go to the scene of
the tragedy and make an inves-
,tigation of the ground with a
view of finding the body, which
Pruitt says he put in the river.
1t seems now that the killing
took place about five miles above
the mouth of Horse creek, and is
some 25 miles above where Oscar
Eakin is wintering. This is quite
a distance above the Churchill
ranch which is the nearest point
to Dixie. Billy Robinson left
Dixie last Saturday morning for
the river and it is thought that
he will be able to make the. trip
in two weeks.
The two men that Pruitt came
down the river with, and who
| live in Weiser, cannot be located
by the sheriff. but it is known
that they went down the riXel
to Golf in a boat, and got Rruitt
to go to Grangeville and surren-
der himself. stz

The Anaconda group has had
a great deal of work done on it,
and has produced some fine ore.
There is a shaft down 160 ft.
which shows a. veins ft. wide OF

''To Them That kash''
A SHORT SERMON TO
 FAT FOLKS

"To them that hath shall be given is a sentence that applies to fat peo- pie very neatly. It is common knowl- edge that once a human being begins to fatten up, to what they have al- ready is added more than they want until finally stage is reached where reduction must be made or decided disadvantage results.
 Then comes forward the ages-old query, "Reduce-but how?" To the uninformed nothing suggests itself but the (to them) twin evils-less eating more activity. They contemplate a more or less lengthy siege of aliet- ing and exercising. So it may be said safely that every man or woman in the land now undergoing the fatten- igg-up process has his or her mental eye fixed dubiously on that not Ia. distant day when he or she will have to don the 'ashes and sackcloth of reduction
 This is not an enlivening prospect, and so it is with considerable satis> faction that we announce the enamel patton of the fat. Nowadays one may reduce much or little, pound a day if desired, or hold their fat in check, absolutely stationary, without doing a tap of exercise, missing a single meal, doing a particle of harm or causing a solitary wrinkle. All that's required, as hundreds testify, is the one Marmola Prescription Tablet, which tablets are sold by the Mar mola Co.,, S79 Farmer Bldg, Detroit, Mich, or any good druggist, at the uniform price of 75 cents, this sum being accepted for case of tablets SO we'll and generously filled that even one produces desirable results.

cause in 1909 it failed to do what it promised in 1908 to do. Unless we desire to share it's fate we would do we'll not to follow, it's bad example"
 Clark repudiatedo statement that today's meeting was to "harmonize" was already harmonized. As an il- lustration, he pointed to the famous revolt against the rules, on March 19, 1910. when 'the Democrats in the House got together without a man missing and won a signal victory over the standpat forces" without refer ring to the insurgent Republicans.
 As an indication that the Democrats in the House intend to observe the promises of the last campaign, Clark cited the call for the caucus on Jan- uary 19, at which the now minority leaders will fill a slate for the Ways and Means Committee of the next to select the other committees, He declared that this was in preparation for the framing of a new tariff.
 ''We could not afford to slap togeth- CT a tariff bill or bills without due in- formation on which to base them," he asserted, "and the country could not afford to have us do SO.
 There are two ways of revising. the tariff-one by general bill, the oth- CT by particular bills for particular schedules or even particular bills for particular items. The consensus of opinion among Democrats seems to be that the latter is the preferable meth cd, and that we should proceed to re- wise it by separate bills, taking the most obnoxious schedules first. In fact. it may be necessary, in order to get rid of some of the monstrosities and crudities of the Payne-Aldrich- Shoot bill to pass separate bills for particular items. Our first duty in that regard is to cut off the excres- ences, to cure the injustices and to remove the cruel features of the pres- ent bill" Clark declared that the party had further cause for congratulation in the action already taken by Demo- cratic members of the Senate toward redemption of the party's pledge for election of Senators by direct vote, and predicted that great economies would be effected in the administra- tion of the Government under the Democratic House.
 'The curtailment of appropriations will prove perhaps as difficult as the reduction of the tariff" he declared, ''but that both will be accomplished there can be little doubt, for this year Democrats are, animated by the deter mination to work harmoniOusly togeth- er and by the hope of approaching victory-a victory which will restore Democratic supremacy in every de- partment of the Government. These are some of the promises which Demo- cratS should redeem"
