This play earlier in the season reached

York, remarkable record, attained in
the United States for the first tine.
and convincing illustration of the
superiority of this comedy to other
pieces that aim to make people laugh
"Seven Days. is one long enough
without blush in it. An
American comedy, written by
Americans and telling story
of modern New York, it is
gratifying achievement to all who de-
sire the welfare of the American stage.
There is satisfaction in knowing that
the biggest augh-maker of all plays
is native concoction, home brewed
and without one foreign ingredient.
New York City is the scene of "Seven
Days. New Workers are its char
acters There's lots of fun in New
York all the time and all over, but at
no time anywhere is there anything
liked so much as in the house on Riv-
erside drive during the week that
makes "Seven Days. Tt is a week
in quarantine. Nobody had expected to
stay longer than for dinner and
bridge. Some had hoped to leave much
sooner, especially burglar and
policeman and a divorced woman and
a strong minded, rich spinster aunt.
But they couldn't They were quaran-
tined. Fancy the possibilities for up
rorarious, eonvulsing fun in a com
pany representing social extremes shut
up together for a week and believing
the house is haunted. Every element
of splitting humor is brought out
in the merriest, jolliest, wittiest and
best comedy in twenty years, and it
has been the laughing hit of New
York, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia,
San Francisco-everywhe from
coast to coast and from the Great

that was in the play IS third year on
Broadway, and with the entire New

WILL RECLAIM LARGE
TRACT OF LAND IN IDAHO
asaI A.. L..
(Special [,

SPOKANE, Wash, Oct. 17.-Thir-
tv thousand acres of fertile land along
the Kootenaai river, in northern Idaho,
will be reclaimed by owners of land
and settlers in the Kootenai valley as
soon as the county commissioners
sanction the plan to create drainage
district. 1t is understood they favor
the project, the expense of which will
be borne by the owners of land in rho
district. The plans presented by the
engineer in charge of the work calls
for widening the west arm of the
Kootenai river, the construction of
canals along the foothills of the land
to be drained, the building of series
of dykes along the low banks of the
stream and the installation of centri-
frgal pumps to lift the water into The
river. 1t has been impossible to uti
lize the lands for crops heretofore on
account of the annual overflow of the
river. There are several highly sue
cessful dyke systems along the Wash
ington-Idaho border, where thousands
of acres of formerly waste lands have
been retained by drainage. Other
plants will be established bv settlers
as rapidly as possible.

COSTLY FOOD UNDER FREE
TRADE IN ENGLAND

The prices of various articles Of
food have increased in the United
States in the last few years, where up
on the cocksure Cobdenites raise the
cry that this is the result of the pro-
tective tariff system, which, in part,
prevents the importation of cheaper
supplies from other lands, and in part
facilitates the formation and opera
tion of those trusts and other combi-
nations which artifcially force up the
prices of commodities. That sounds
plausible enough, but it really does
not appear to accord with facts.
Here, for example, are some figures
of food prices in England, which are
given by an officer of the Cooperative
Wholesale Society, and which show the
ruling prices of staple groceries in
1898, 1906, 1908 and 1910. The prices
are wholesale and mostly at port. From
them we perceive that the price of
bacon and hams was only 4.96d
pound in 1898, that it rose to 6.64d in
1906, and that it was S.19d in 1910.
Butter has risen less, but whereas it
was 11.35d in 1898 it was 12.S7d last
year. Cheese similarly has risen from
5.24d to 5.56d and lard from 324d to
6.S3d. Sugar was only 4.49d in 1898;
in 1910 the duty upon it was fixed at
As I'd, and the price rose in 1906 to
1.s3d; in 1908 the duty was reduced to
only Is 10d, but the price rose to 1.S6d
in that year and to 2.03d in 1910, pre-
senting the interesting spectacle of in
creasing prices under decreasing du-
ties. Tea was 16.17d in 1898 under a
4d duty. The duty was raised to Cd
in 1900, with the result that the price
fell to 15.42d in 1906; then in the lat
ter year it was reduced to sd, with the
result that the price rose to 15.65d in
1908, falling off to 15.45d in 1910.
Flour and meal have fluctuated consid-
erably, and in 1910 were both little
lower than in 1898, but both rose from
1906 to 1908, flour from 1.09d to 1.29d,
and meal from 1.1Sd to 1.33d.
Taking "balanced orders' of these
various articles of food, it is reckoned
that the average weekly grocery bill Of
a workingman s family was 63.S5d in
1898; that it rose 5.37 per cent to
72Sd in 1906; that in the next two
years it rose to 70.21d, and that in
1910 it was 72.3Sd, or 1896 per cent
more than in 1898, twelve years be-
fore. These figures certainly do not
give much support to the pretense that
a protective tariff is the sole source or
cause of rising prices, or that free
trade means cheap food. When at the
same time it is observed that the av-
erage weekly arnings of railway EN-
ployes were 24s 7&d in 1898 and rose
to only 25s sad in 1906, the dissatis-
faction of laboring men with prevail
ing conditions is not difficult to under
stand. When the cost of living in
ereases much more rapidly than the
earnings of the bread winners talk
about "free food - rings hollow.-New
York Tribune.

GOOD WORDS FOR
NORTHERN SECTION

Jno. A. Gill. a well known railroad
man, who always looks on the bright
side of all things, returned from a
week 3 trip, via auto, stage and Indian
conveyances, to the Oregon line, max
ing stops at Rebel Creek, Amos, McDer-
mitt, National and Paradise He reprots
that everybody in that section is happy
and prosperous and apparently salts
fed with conditions. As matter of
what that section is doing in the way
of fruit raising, he brought samples of
apples from Snaps orchard at Rebel
Creek, Laucerica s orchard near Amos,
Buckingham 3 orchard at Paradise Val
ley and fine samples of potatoes, known
as Centennial grown on the ranch
of John MeAnineh, Cane Springs. 1t
is Mr.. Gill s opinion that nursery at
Winnemueca or some point north would
prove attractive to the ranchers or
farmers and would pay good returns on
the Investment.
The hay crop has been good and
prices within reason. A large lot of cat
tie is being pastured and fed in that
locality
The Ellison Ranching company, who
have made big investments in land in
the Quinn river section, are going to
be great factor in the development
of that part of the county. They have
purchased the Buffalo, Home and
Kings River ranches, nearly 100000
acres which they propose to cut up in
to small tracts and colonize. They
are also figuring on constructing a
large reservoir near McDermitt, which
viii be used for irrigation purposes.
The whole county north of Winnie
mucca looks good and only requires an
influx of good hard workers to make
it comply with the name paradise
Valley. Some gentlemen from the
east have located near Paradise Val
ley to experiment on dry farming
Mr.. Gill was informed that there
will be a great increase in acreage of
wheat sown this fall besides some will
try their hands in barley.
The business and moneyed men of
Winnemucca should take an active in
terest in that territory and assist in
its development. The mining interests
are also looking better.
Take it all as it looks to me, - said
Mr.. Gill, everybody should have a
turkey for Thanksgiving and not less
than two gobblers for Xmas. They
have much to feel grateful for

GROUND BROKEN
FOR EXPOSITION

Promptly on the stroke of noon last
Saturday President Taft, his silk hat
laid aside and his sleeves rolled up,
smilingly turned a spadeful of earth
in the greensward of Golden Gate
park, and amid the tumultuous shouts
of thousands, the music of bands and
the waving of flags the ground was
broken for the Panama Pacific exposi-
tion with which the state of California
and the city of San Francisco expect
to entertain the world in 1915.
An event of such magnitude could
not have been initiated under more
favorable auspices, from the moment
the grand parade avs formed in the
city until the ceremonies at the park
closed with the benediction. Every
thing moved with the smoothness of
well-regulated military family, amid
all the music, the cheers of the great
throngs and the animated scenes in
and about the grounds where the great
domed and turreted structures of the
exposition are soon to rise.
1t was 10 o'colck when the great
parade completed its formation in
Market street and moved toward Gold
en- Gate park. For miles along the
streets lined and canopied with colors
and before an enormous crowd, the
sailors and marines from the Pacific
fleet, soldiers of the regular army and
state militia, civic organizations and
members of patriotic societies made
their way to the martial tones of in
Vulnerable bands and to the cheers that
began with the first command to march
and lasted until the vanguard of the
procession had entered the park and
the president and other notables had
taken their seats in the stadium in
readiness for the ground breaking
ceremonies to begin.
The ceremonies were of simple but
highly impressive character The gov
ernor of California and his staff were
there, together with the mayors Of
many of the leading cities of the
state, Other guests of honor includ-
ed representatives of all of the Pacific
coast states, the California represen-
taives in congrss and the officials and
directors of the Panama Pacific Ex-
position company. After an invocation
by the Bishop of California there were
brief addresses by President Taft,
Governor Johnson, Mayor Mccarthy
and President C. c. Moore of the ex-
position company.
