trayed to the Gridiron club and its
guests Saturday night at the annual
winter dinner when many men of ma

and saw themselves frolicking about
to their own amusement.
The dinner took the form of one
graceful tribute to President Taft and
another to President-elect Wilson.
An incident to the drinking of the
single toast of the annual dinner-the
president of the United States-was
the bestowal upon President Taft of
the large gold gridiron, bearing this
inscription: "To William Howard Taft,

state.
Extensive building of new first track
line on the Northern Pacific system in
the state of Washington during the
year is contemplated and under way
according to projections shown on
company maps filed at Olympia recent
ly.
The main branch announced is the
Misunderstanding cutoff of 100 miles
whereby transcontinental trains will be
routed directly across the central part
of the state instead of detouring to the
south.
Another line which will be built this
year is the extension from Kelso on
the Columbia river through Brook
field, Oneida and Nema to Willapa har-
Dor and north to Grays Harbor.
The third extension is that of the
Sunnyside branch from Grandview to
connection with the main line at
Gibbon.

INAUGURAL PARADE
EIGHT GRAND DIVISIONS EACH
IN CHARGE OF AN ARMY
OFFICER.
GENERAL WOOD7OBE GRAND MARSHAL
Regular Military and Naval Forces
Will Make Up Five Divisions
President and vice-EIect to
Have Personal Escorts.

Washington.-Ther will be eight
grand divisions of the inaugural pa
rade, each in charge of an army officer
as division commander, according to
the announcement by Major General
Leonard Wood, grand marshal.
The first division will be made up of
the regular military and naval forces,
commanded by Major General w. W.
Witherspoon. The military organiza-
tons from the states will form the
second division, in which will be in
cluded the various military schools. A
battalion from Culver Military acad.
envy of Indiana will form the personal
escort of Vice President-elect Thomas
r. Marshall.
The various civic organizations will
be in the fourth division, which also
will contain most Of the democratic
organizations which will be present.
The makeup of the other divisions
has not been determined, but one of
them will contain the Princeton stu
dents, who will escort the president
elect from his home to the capital on
March 3.
In this same division probably also
will be $50 members of Governor Will
sons class at Princeton, who are to be

Font of Youth-the Potato.

Prof. Ellie Metchnikoff, of Paris,
apotheosized buttermilk as the font of
perpetuated youth and pointed to Bull
garia. DR.. ]. H. kellogg, famous or
iginator of breakfast foods and health
regimens, apotheosiZes the potato as
the true enemy of old age and points
to Ireland, says Park & Tilford Quar-
terly.
A prejudice against starchy foods
has caused science to disparage the
potato unjustly, according to DR.. KEEL
logg, who insists that the popular
prediction for the vegetable is a
trustworthy index of it's merit. The
starch of the potato has much greater
dietary value than the starch of &C.
reals or arrowroot, he says, being
more easily digested. That the pota.
to is not a perfect food owing to it's
fat unit deficiency is conceded; never.
theless it's qualities as an old age pre-,
ventive are established by reasoning
as follows:
1t contains just below the skin a
greater percentage of certain alkaline
salts than any other vegetable used
as food by civilized folk. These salts
check tendencies toward lowered al.
kalinity of the blood caused by meats
Lowered alkalinity is the chief cause
of govt, rheumatism, Bright's disease
and especially that hardening of the
arteries which is old ages distinctive
sign. "The proportion of centen'
arians in Ireland is more than ten
times as great as that of England
says the doctor. There can be NO
doubt that the free use of potatoes
by the Irish is in large measure re
sponsible for the remarkable longev
ity of this nation"

Use the Parcel Post.

since the inauguration OF the par
eel post, mail-order business is every
where springing into existence. En-
terprising houses, both large and
small, are experimenting with the new
scheme. Wide-awake farmers of the
East are soliciting the patronage of
urban people, and are arranging to
have orders for eggs, butter and other
ranch products sent in over the tele-
phone daily. These will be filled i'm
mediately by parcel post. Department
stores in all the large cities of the
United States are beginning to estab
fish mail-order departments. Big
Eastern catalog houses are contem-
plating the establishment of branch
offices in various parts of the United
States, including Spokane and other
northwestern points.
The advantage to these big institu-
lions in doing this lies in the cheaper
transportation obtained by sending
their goods by freight to these branch
houses, which will be then distrib-
uting centers, and in the lower parcel
post rate due to being in a smaller
goods will be delivered to patrons in
a shorter time after the receipt of
their orders than would be possible
by sending all the way to Chicago.
In the face of all these things it is
imperative that you country mer-
chants revolutionize your own meth
DDS of doing business. Meet the cata-
log trespassers at his own game: es-
tablish small mailorder department
In your own store. 1t can be done.
Partition off small part of the back
of your store and place some one in
charge. Then go after business. You
can reach great many of the rural
residents by telephone, and you can
also communicate with them by let
tiers, circulars and advertisements.
If these medium do not prove effec-
tive get out and see them yourself
In fact, the more time you can devote
to calling on your patrons, the better
it will be for business. In this phase
of the contest you have distinct ad-
vantage over your big eastern COM
petitor: he cannot possibly come in
contact with all of the customers in
your field. And hanging in the bal
ance before the eye of the consumer a
cold combination of words and figures
will be forced sky high by living, re-
| sponsive personality.
Summing it all up, the catalog
houses cannot compete with the wide
awake country merchant. There are
too many things operating in favor of
the latter. He has the advantage of
position, of personal supervision, of
direct knowledge of his people and
their needs. What the dealer has to
do, though, is to educate the people;
to show them that his goods are of
superior quality; that he stands back
of them and is ready to make good
any defect that may creep in, and that
by utilizing the telephone and the
parcel post his patrons can get quick.
er, more efficient service than can be
had at the hands of the foreign con-
Germs. Get busy!

SPOKANE WEEKLY LETTER.
Provisions.

Butter-With the exception of quo
tations on ranch butter, which has
taken a slight decline, the market re-
mains unchanged and firm. The de-
cline in ranch butter is due to a good
amount of local produce coming in.
Eggs-With the exception of a de-
cline in eastern storage eggs the mar
ket remains unchanged. Local deal
ers, however, expect a break in the
market as soon as weather conditions
relax. At New York the market was
weaker and the movement fair. At
Chicago the situation was somewhat
unsettled but seemed firmer.
Poultry - Quotations remain un-
changed. The market, however, is
weak and dealers expect drop as
soon as the snow disappears. At pres
ent the snow is retarding farmers in
marketing their produce.
Fresh Meats-The market in gen.
eral continues strong. Steer beef and
cow beef have taken an advance and
there are prospects for still higher
prices on account of many cattle and
sheep having to be fed until the snow
leaves. According to buyers in Lewis
ton there is less stock in the North
west now than in many years. Quo
tations on live cows and sheep have
also advanced.
Lard and Cured Neutrality-suspicious.
on both eastern and local products re-
main unchanged. The market, how,
ever, on all lines is firm, due to short.
age of supplies. Dealers predict an
advance.
Hides and Wool-Although there
has been no change in quotation the
market is weak and a decline can be
expected at any time. Prospects of a
tariff reduction are tending to depress
wool quotations.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Apples-No improvement is noticed
in the situation. Quotations still re
main at the same level and there are
at present no prospects of an ad
vance. At New York the market was
firm and the movement good. Some
dealers have predicted that the turn
ing point in the apple situation there
had been reached and expect that
from now on the market will be good
| Oranges-Nayels have taken a
slight decline during the week and are
now quoted at from $3.50 to $500
Other Fruits-Quotations on other
fruits remain the same, with prices
steady and a normal volume of bust
ness being done.
Potatoes-No change is reported in
the local situation. What business is
being done is confined mostly to ped
lers and farmers. Quotations are un
changed. Reports from Chicago state
that the market was inactive, with
prices steady. At New York the mar
ket was strong, but very few pota
toes were moving on account Of q
strike on the Bangor & AroostocB
railroad.
Onions-Onions are getting scarce
and both the local and the Californis
products have taken an advance.
| Celery-Owing to the frost and

National Chamber of Commerce.

There are three great elements in
our national life which have much to
do with it's future development-com-
merce, labor and agriculture. There
are more than 100000 of union work
ers engaged in the industries of our
country, and they are cohesive body.
From their local groups to their state
and their national organizations, they
speak with a common voice of those
things which they desire as being ben
eficial to labor. 1t is equally true of
the agricultural interests. They are
formed likewise into their local and
up to their national groups until they
also have a voice which, both in our
state legislatures and in the national
congress, is heard and obeyed, be-
cause of the cohesive force that these
elemets have brought into our ma
tional life.
In the past ten years chambers Of
commerce and boards of trade have
been formed in cities large and small
over the length and bredth of this
land, yet they have never operated ex-
cept as Independent units. Here and
there they have recently gathered
themselves together in state organiza-
lions, but for the most part these or
CARNATIONS, speaking to their state
legislatures or to the national con-
gress, have been able to speak with
the individual voice of a section or
community or a single business in
terest. Is there any wonder that leg
islation has been enacted helpful to
labor and to agriculture, while the
commercial interests, organized as in
dividual units, have been almost dis
regarded?

KILLED BY TRAINS AT BUTTE
Pioneer Policeman and Lamplighter
Victims at Butte.

policeman of Butte, and William Bell,
lamplighter for the Butte, Anaconda
and Pacific railroad, Sunday were
killed by trains. Officer Otto was
struck by a Northern Pacific train as
he was walking down the track, and it
is believed he became confused as to
what track the train was using.
Bell was attempting to remove We
locipede from the rails when he was
struck.

snow very little celery can be gath
cred from the ground and brought to
market; this has caused an advance
in prices.
Other Prices-With the exception
of quotations on cabbage, head lettuce
and caulifiower, which have all ad-
vanced, other quotations remain I'M
changed with market steady.
Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-During the fore part of the
week wheat was changing hands quite
freely and prices continued to go up
until Red Russian was quoted in the
country at 1914 in sacks; Club at
741s, and Bluestem at SAY. The mar
ket at present is uncertain. Wheat
is now at such a high mark that it
has caused depression in buying &C.
tivities and a decline can be expected.
Flour-The market took another ad-
vance during the week in sympathy
with the wheat situation.
Feed-Quotations on hay have TAX
en- further advance this week, due
to the difficulty with which farmers
bring their produce to market on ac-
count of the heavy snow. Baling is
also difficult under the present wet
conditions. Prices on barley and bran
have also advanced in sympathy with
the wheat situation. The probability
is that these products have reached
their top price.

army into three infantry divisions and
one cavalry division is made in a re-
cent order issued by direction of Pres

TURKS STAY IN LONDON
Their Army Ordered to Await Attack
of Allies Before Firing
Shot

The porte has ordered the Turkish
plenipotentiaries not to leave London
until hostilities are resumed and has
instructed the army to await the at
tack before firing a shot. Thus, the
Ottomans, with the exception of the
Montenegrins, the only delegates left
in London, remarked that nobody
could accuse them of not having done
all humanity possible to come to terms.
Animated by humanitarian spirit,
they added, Turkey wished to avoid
useless carnage and wished also to
show Difference to the advice of the
powers, although Europe had been un-
fair toward Turkey.

Ratification of Constitutional Amend

Observation-Disclosures of the in

Either New Jersey or New Mexico,
