ventions in its history was held in
North Yakima last week by the State
Good Roads Association. Many speak
ers OF note gave addresses. The main
subject of discussion was the good

present, while the state is more or less
tax ridden.

New statistics secured through an
investigation of the industrial welfare
commission indicate that women and
girl employees in fish canneries get
much better wages than female work
ers in any other industry yet investi-
gated. However, they work longer
hours. the average for all branches Of
the industry being about Sc hours a
week, while some are listed as working
IS hours a week. Fifty-six per cent
of the employees make 81 or more a
week. In department and other stores
it was found that about SIS per cent Of
the employees made above SO per week,
while less than two-ffths OF the laundry
employees earned as much as 50.

Centralia's saloon men have raised
$3.50 by subscription, the money to be
distributed among the city's poor at
Christmcs time. 1t is believed that
the fund will have passed the $500
mark by the holidays. The money
has been turned over to c. S. Gilchrist,
who will probably be assisted in its
distribution by the secretary and chair
man of the local board of charities.
While it has always been customary to
supply the local poor with food and
clothing on Christmas, the saloon men
got together and decided that money
would be more acceptable.

Supporters Of the movement for the
eradication of tuberculosis in this state
are gratifed at the promptness with
which public officials have taken adj
vantage of the provisions of the new
tuberculosis law. Snohomish Pierce
and King counties have taken steps
for the establishment Of hospitals to
house and care for white plague vic
Tins and each already has visiting
nurse. Several other counties now
have taken up the question OF the en-
ployment OF nurse and favorable act
ion is expected soon in Thurston,
Lewis, Clarke, Kittitas, and Walla

ITEMS OF INTEREST
FROM THE NORTHWEST
American Federation of Labor at a
Meeting Recently Held in Seattle
Adopted Literary Clause

One OF the most important OF the
actions taken by the American Fedora
ton of Labor in Seattle last week was
the endorsement OF a resolution to linn
it immigration to this country by the
adoption Of a literacy clause in the
immigration laws. This would mean
that no person could enter the United
States unless he is able to read or
write his own language. 1t is expected
the demand of the Federation will be
placed before Congress at its coming
session. The convention also called
upon the nations lawmakers to en-
large the scope Of the Chinese exclu-
sion act to include all Asiatic peoples,
and requested early appropriation OF
sufficient money to construct and
maintain adequate immigration stations
at. Pacific Coast ports of entry.

That the commission be relieved of
all duties under the parcel post law,
or that such duties and the standards
to be applied be more clearly stated" "
The report gives some consideration
to the law providing for physical valu-
alton Of railways. Up to the present
time, It has not been possible to do
more than prepare an outline of the
plans for the great task Of valuing
American railroad property.
The report shows that the work Of
the commission has increased tremen-
dously In volume. Scores Of violations
Of law by both carriers and shippers
we're Investigated. In this connection
the report says that the false billing
cf freight by shippers continues" II
is pointed out that serious abuses Of
transit privileges by both carriers and
shippers constitute continuing evil,
remedy for which is being worked out
by the commission. Failure on the
part of carriers to collect from ship
pers demurrage charges was made
the subject of many Investigations.

mission as one of the insidious forms
OF rebating. Stress also ls laid upon
violations OF the antl-pass law, but
the report indicates that they are be-
coming less and less frequent.

CAIRO DOCTOR IS MURDERED
sician Had Attacked His Wife in Office, Surrenders.

Cairo, H., Sept. 3.-Dr. E. E. Cor don was shot and killed at St. Mary's infirmary by Harvey R. Fields, an in- surance solicitor, who had been lying in wait for the physician. Fields, after arrest, declared that Dr. Gordon, his family physician, had attacked his wife in the physicians office when she went there for treatment
 About 10 days ago Dr. Gordon op- erated on Fields mother and she died soon after the operation. Young Fields charged 1t was through the doctors carelessness that his mother died.
 Fields is about 25 years old and has one child. He is a Socialist and has been considered somewhat er- ratio.
 After the killing he walked to his home, just across the street, and asked his wife, who had witnessed the shooting, to go with him to police headquarters. where he gave himself up.

In localities where funds without re- striction as to control by federal or state authorities would be available. Thus 20 routes have been selected and inspected and the work has been started.
 Fifteen state governors fell in with this plan and selected experimental roads, the citizens or communities along which expressed a willingness to put up s2 for the federal govern ment's $1, and have the work done under joint federal and local super vision. Under the federal plan the fund for building will be suffi- cient on each stretch accepted to in sure its maintenance and repair for a period of at least two years.
 In order to give the scheme a fur ther try-out and to prevent the matter of federal aid to good roads from be- coming a game of grab and scandal, these two officials close their report with a recommendation that another million dollars be appropriated for a continuation and an extension of the work next year.
 Such federal fund would call from the interested communities the put. ting up of $2,0oO,0OO more and would make respectable fund of $3,000, 900 in addition to the fund created by the appropriation of s500,OOO by the last congress.

TRADE WITH JAPAN LARGER
GAIN IS NOTABLE IN FACE OF ALIEN LAND BILL AGITATION.
Exports From This Country were $57, 741,315, and We Bought From
 laps Goods Worth $9 ,5o0,0O

Washington, Sept 3.-In spite of pect of the California alien lana bill, the exports to Japan in the fiscal year just ended were larger than ever be- fore and greater than those to all figures have just been given out by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce.
 The statistics disclose the value of the exports to Japan was estimated at S57,741,S15, while the value of the American goods sent to all the other Asiatic countries was more than $4O0,O00 below that total. The total amount sold to Japan does not in clude American goods worth about s2,0OO,000 going into Korea and Japa- nese-leased territory in China
 The bill with Japan is not one- sided. however, for the United States bought of that country in the fiscal year goods to the amount of $91,- 500,000. which is a big increase over the amount purchased in the previous year.
 While raw cotton was the largest item exported to the island empire, the principal purchases made by this country from Japan were silk, tea, mattings, straw braids, rice and cop per.

THE SMALL.TOWN M E R.
 CHANT AND ADVERTISING.

Until recently the average merchant in the towns and small Ter cities has thought that money spent in advertising was an in vestment of doubtful profit. Ey- erybody in the community, the territory from which his trade must come, already knew he was in business, knew what sort of goods he sold and on what terms. If he did any advertising at all it was kind of a general announce ment in the spring. and again in the fall, that lie was still doing the same kind of business at the same old stand"
 But few progressive spirits in very recent years have come alive to the fact that the small town merchant can use advertis. ing space to advantage. In fact many of them are doing it, and their number is increasing. 1 know of one dry goods firm in a town of 4,000 people that plans each year to spend from S1,000
