Over the High Cost of Liv-
ing and Attack the
Storekeepers.

i
PARIS, Sept. 16.-The cost of living
in France, which has been creeping
upward steadily during ten years
has risen with a jump this summer
One principal reason is the three
months of extraordinary dry and hot
weather, whitening and drying up the
vegetables consumed in large guam
titles by all classes in France String
beans of the most ordinary descrip-
ton for example sell for nine TO
twelve cents pound and lettuce at
$3.50 the hundred wholesale.
Discomfort of housewives has taken
violent form in the north, where at
tacks upon farmers, butchers, store
keepers and other vendors by bands
of viragoes are the daily ex tie
ments in towns and cities. The Rev
olutionary Labor party has thought
this good occasion to take part, but
he women manifestants oppose this,
and keep the agitation in their own
hands A loose organization spreads
over the north, although example
more than anything else keeps the
market places in uproar in half 4
hundred cities and smaller centers.
Sometimes there is meat boycott
for a couple of days at a time as a
warning to the butchers, or three or
four hundred women will rush 4
market, tipping over all the stands
and half destroying the eatables.
Demands of tile housewives are
or milk at eight cents a quart, butter
t thirty cents a pound. bread at
eighteen or nineteen cents for the
fye-pound loaf and plain meats at
twenty cents a pound. So far as
bread and dairy products are con-
cerned, the women have been gen
e.ally successful, but the butchers
utterly refuse to give way. They af-
firm that selling at twenty cents a
pound would cause an actual loss.
Farmers have not been able to com
bine, as the butchers have done, and
they are yielding, although increased
prices from their point of view seem
justified because fodder is dear and
scarce. Most of the COWS are stable
fed, and the milk supply is possibly
a third less than usual. The long
drought has burnt up the cecond
crops of fodder.
The Parisians hear of these sue
cessful raids on prices in the north
ern provinces with the hope thar
something will happen to check the
rising cost of everything in the cap
itol, where living is thirty per cent.

TO BE
BUILT In RlTCH
Funds Are Raised for Com.
pletion of Harrisville to
CORVALLIS Line.

HARRIsVILLE, Sept. 15.-The
building Of n standard gauge road
from Harrlsv!lle to CORVALLIS
where 1t viii lntersect the B. & O
line is now fully assured and work
will be commenced on It within fifteen
days.
THINKS work, of which the road bed
is almost completed, was begun in
1903, as venture by citizens Of Har-
risville, who realized the lnestimable
benefits to be derived from stan
dard gauge road, but they ran short
Of funds and the work has lain idle
for nearly two years. Some time ago
the town Of Harrisyille voted bonds
to the value of $4,000 for the com
pletion of the road, but these were
never placed on the market, there
being some objection TO them on the
part OF citizens. Last week the town
asains voted bonds for like amount,
and they will be placed upon the mar
ket Immediately and the money oh
tanned from the sale OF them will be
used for the completion of the worl..
The work on the bed of the road
was done nearly two years ago. and
while 1t Will need some repairs, hav-
ing been neglected during this time,
1t will be far from being the task 4;
was in the beginning, a large part Of
the bed beng blasted from solid
rock. In addition to this there is a
number Of piers already built for
small bridges and trestles that will
lie necessary to carry the road across
some OF the smaller streams.
1t would be hard matter to esti-
mate the value this road will prove
10 Harrisvlle. The country sur
ii unding the town is one of the rich
est farming and stock raising dis
tricts in the state and Harrisville is
the shipping point for all of the prod
ucts. Under the handicap that is
now placed upon them in the form CT
a narrow gauge road, the farmers
are unable to market their products
successfully, having to unload them
from the small cars at Pennsboro.
This is an additional expense and
cuts into the farmers profits in al
manner that causes but little of the
produce to be shipped With road
that will permit the passage of al
standard car. all of this trouble will
be done away with, and the shipper
Viii be enabled to bill his stuff direct
sr0m the station at Harrisville to
whatever point he desires.
The fact that the B. & o. has taken
an interest in the road and will move
its buildings and water tanks at
Corvallis to enable the road to in.
tersect with its line direct, and It's
offer to furnish steel for the road,
taken as proof that the building of
the extension is a sure thing.
There is some talk of line from
Harrisville TO the Ohio river at Will
Jamestown, but as yet this plan is in
an embryonic state.

It is somewhat remarkable that the

town OF Lorraine. On Saturday there
