ne CIosest comparison OF Prices is
or Flour Which Is Practically the
Same Now as In 18s0-Potatoes
Have Quadrupled In Value.
In reading the market reports Of
the good old days of 1880 it almost
makes one sigh for the past, in con-
temptation of high prices and the
cos. Of living.
+ In what was then, and is still, a
leacing weekly newspaper of Deem
Der %, 1850, the market prices show
quotations at half the figures of the
present in some instances, and even
lower, And these prices, too, are
Christmas prices.
Eggs arc quoted at 20 cents per
dozen, and now the occasion is a rare
one to get eggs that cheap at any sea-
son, while Irish potatoes are quoted
AT 10 cents per bushel: now they are
10 cents for the old and 80 cents for
the new, per peck, instead of per
bushel.
Tile closest comparison of any of
the prices in the paper of that date
was on flour. The price in 1880 was
So per hundred pounds, making s5Ss
per barrel. The price today is $3.50
per barrel.
Other quotations follow:
Meal 40 cents per busnel; chickens
10 to 13 cents each; lard 6R cents
per pound: ginseng 81 per pound;
sweet potatoes 80 cents per bushel;
dried peaches q cents per pound;
beeswax Is cents; feathers 40 cents
per pound; dried blackberries 51h
cents per pound; green hides cents
per pound; white beans rs cents per
bushel, ard number of other things
in proportion.
Turkeys are quoted at Az cents
per pound, while the birds brought
mole than three times that price here
last Christmas.

 The bill relating to recall expenses was given the same treatment, as was the bill providing for an appro- pration for the Pioneers Historical society, after an earnest plea in it's behalf had been made by Senator John T. Hughes.
 The bill relating to licenses for foreign corporations was put on the senate calendar.
 It was close to six o'clock when the committee rose and after a brief time it's recommendations were adopt ed by the senate
 It was early in the session of the house that the industrial school bill [ came up and an argument in its fa- vor was started by Representative 1 Jacobson While the speaker was reading the report of the committee and the recommendation of Superin- 1 tendent Mahoney, Mir. Graham, of ! Cochise, objected to the further read 1 ing of such trashy" letters, which i he declared were biased, did not con- tain facts. and were not fit matters 1 to he presented to the house His objection was overruled by the chairman, MT. Kerr. however, and after Jacobson got through, MT Gra- ham. saying he wanted the house to hear all the report. proceeded to go { through it from beginning to end. One of the interesting features of
 the debate was a statement made by MT Jacobson. He said he had talked
 with the governor and Hunt had de-
 clared that if the legislature did not
 take some action he would remove
 the reform school children himself from their present quarters and find tplaces for them in hotels and private
 homes.
 The report, it may be mentioned
 condemned the present buildings in
 unmeasured terms. but Messrs. Ora
 ham. KeltOn, Bradner and others who
 spake against the proposed removal
 said it was a bad time to take such faction because of the expense.
 They said the present buildings
 could be repaired at a small cost and
 that in St David valley an abun-
 dance of good land could be secured at small cost. It was declared the
 expense of securing a new site and
 providing proper buildings will b.
 $200,000 or more.
 , Mr. Saxon said the representatives
 were all wrong in their views of the
 matter-that it is nat the object tC make farmers of the boys and it die not matter therefore if the site o1 tthe building is good farming land ol not.
 The question then came up on the report of the committee which rec commended that the matter be post poned for consideration by a subse- quent legislature. The report was adopted by a 15 to 13 vote f In the afternoon the committee o
 the whole recommended the passag 7 of the bill relating to the jurisdic ton of justices of the peace, the bil 3 providing for publishing the decisiOn 2 of the supreme court, the bill relat

 dustrial school superintendent and hi
 assistant. the bill providing for tn : care and education of blind infants Q the state examiner bill and the bi relating to vital statistics were a [ passed finally.
