Organized labor has no reason to be
ashamed of it's Representatives in the
last session Of the legislature. Fred
Overman, bull mooser from this dis
trict and member of Everett Typo
graphical Union, was on the job con-
tinually and never overlooked any
thing that would advance the cause
of labor legislation. He was mem
Der of the committee on labor and
labor statistics. Overman introduced
two bills which, had they passed,
would have relieved a long standing
graft in this state, viz, the Fleeing
of workmen by paid employment
agencies. One of the bills introduced
provided for the abolition of the fee
for furnishing employment while the
other provided for the establishment of
state agency with branch offices
in industrial centers where workmen
might procure employment without
the payment of fee. These bills he
succeeded in reporting out of the labor
committee but the rules and appro
priations committees saw to it that
they were effectually killed.

PEACE SUNDAY WAS
GENERALLY OBSERVED

President Wilson's proclamation
setting apart last Sunday as day
of prayer for the restoration of
peace to the warning nations of
Europe was responded to by the
churches of all the leading cities
of the nation. The president at
tended the services in the Central
Presbyterian church in Washing
ton, the pastor of which made an
eloquent plea for peace and ex-
pressed the hope that the United
States might be instrumental in
bringing about peace in Europe at
an early day. Secretary of State
Bryan addressed special peace
service at Carnegie hall in New
York. He expressed the hope that
the present conflict would be the
last object lesson of the horrors of
strife.

FARM-TO-THE-TABLE
SERVICE INAUCURATED

The postotfice department has
inaugurated an innovation which
is to be known as the farm -to-the-
table service" of the parcel post.
The plan is for farmers living near
city to mail to the postmaster
each day list of the farm produce
which they may have for sale The
postmaster then has the list printed
and distributed by the mail carri-
ers over their routes in the city.
The merchants or individuals who
receive the lists can at once call
the farmers by telephone or write
them, giving orders for such pro-
duce as they may need. The order
is then filled through the medium
of the parcel post, The first trial
of the plan began last Friday in a
dozen cities throughout the coun-
try. Denver is the only Colorado
city which has thus far been given
this new service.

The Chamber of Commerce of
Silver City, n. NJ, attempted to
have the annual assessment work
on unpatented claims waived by an
act of congress. Bills were intro
duced in both the senate and
house, but it is considered doubt
full whether they will pass, 1t
seems, therefore, that the pros
pector will be compelled to do the
regular ten feet for 1914. Reasons
for the movement to waive the as
sessment work were on account of
the demoralized condition of the
mining industry of the western re-
gion on account of the European

 The beginning of the railroad era here was the sale to Brazil of the Acre ter ritory, near the headwaters of the Ana zon. For this the government was paid over $l0,OOO,000 and it was decided to use this sum for new railways. The money was taken to New York, and it was American enterprise and American engi- neers who laid down the first tracks of the system. Other moneys were borrowed and up to about year ago more than $6,000,000 had been spent. There are now several lines under construction and the new roads projected are now more than 1000 miles.
 can see great changes in La Paz. The capital has sprung into new life. and it seems to be more enterprising than Lima, although the latter is almost twice it's size. New buildings are going up every where, and masons and carpenters are working in every part of the high basin in which the capital lies. The streets are full of traffic. As you go along them you are Jostled by donkey trains and llama trains, and, I might also say, by trains of Indians we'll for much of the goods Is carried through the streets on the backs of the natives. The city has now an elec- tric car line. but the streets are so narrow that the cars have to run at one side, the trolley arms being fastened to the walls of the houses.
 When I was last here there was not public cab in the whole city, and you could number the private carriages on your fingers and toes. Now there are many four-horse cabs drawn by mules and also fine private turnouts that go galloping along up hill and down. When l came Into the city my trunks were taken from tho depot on the backs of Indian cargadores, who charged me about 20 cents each for carrying 200 pounds a distance of more than mile.
 Within the past decade La Paz has practically doubled in size. It has ex- tended out over the basin, and is begin ging to climb the sides of the hills. The street car line now runs about two miles down the valley, through the crack In the sides of the hole where the city is built. There is one suburb called Barac- cas and another Miraflores. In the latter President Montes is baid to own most of the property, and there Mrs. Montes is building an insane asylum as charity for the capital.
 The buildings in the heart of La Paz have been greatly improved. Right in the center of the city is beautiful plaza filled with grass. flowers and trees, and on one side of this has been erected the
