President Wilson has signified his
disapproval of the literacy test con-
tanned in the immigration bill up be-
fore congress.
By vote of 1O2 OF 81 the dominion
parliament at Ottawa has defeated the
proposal to admit American -four and
wheat into Canada free of duty.
That it would be wise and neces-
sary step in the interest of party har-
mony and the nations foreign policy
is the opinion of President Wilson in
regard to the removal of the clause
exempting American coastwise ships
from tolls in the Panama canal act.
P. c. Kaufman, secretary of the

has issued a circular letter urging the
state banks and trust companies to

law.
President Wilson has signed the bill
to regulate the payment of postal
money orders. The new regulation
provides for the issuance of postal
money orders payable at any money
order office, even though drawn on a
specified office, and it is expected that
the change will greatly increase the
money order business.

DEATH RATE FOR 1918 LOWER
Statistics for Last Year Show Improve
ment.-PortIand Makes Best
Record Of Cities Reported.

A very satisfactory condition of the
public health in 1918 is indicated by
the general death rate of 1873 per 1000
of estimated population in the regis
tration states and cities, statistics for
which the census bureau announced
recently.
The rate for the same territory in
1912 was 1876 and in 1911 was 1873 per
1000.
OF the Is registration states Mary

NOTES.

The Northern Pacific has purchased
the Yellowstone Park railway from
George Turner of Spokane.
The Richland Northern railway has
been incorporated for 100000 to
build line from Richland, Benton
county, northerly to connection with
the Milwaukee railroad, probably at
landlord.
Permission to issue $3O,00O.0oO OF
bonds for the general betterment of
the service has been granted the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul Railroad
Co. by the Missouri public service
commission.
The state railroad commission OF
California has made favorable action
on the application of the Southern Pa
cific railroad to issue $55,000,000 five
per cent bonds to run 20 years. or
this issue part will be used to retire
short term notes bearing 61a per cent
interest and still greater part in ad-
ditions and betterments. The money
will be spent in California, Washing
ton, Oregon, Nevada and Arizona.
Attorney General McReynolds has
filed suit at Salt Lake against the
Southern and Central Pacific railroads
under the Sherman antitrust law, al
leging that combination exists in
violation of the so-called Pacific rail
road laws, which, it sets FORTH were
designated by congress to secure a
continuous, connecting line from the
Missouri river to the Pacific coast with
equal advantages to all other roads,
1t is declared further that the South
ern and Central Pacific are natural
competitive lines.
That the express companies at the
present time are not only losing money
but are battling for their very exist
ence, was the declaration made before
the joint hearing of the Oregon rail-
road commission and the washington
public service commission at Portland
this week. C.. w. Stockton, general
counsel for the Wells-Fargo company.
asserted that with their own recent
cut of Is per cent in rates and the loss
of one-third of their business to the
parcel post their former net revenues
had been wiped out twice over,

Shorter Business Hours.

From sections of the Inland Empire
come reports of the early closing plan
for stores. Almost every week the
merchants of some town arrive at the
logical conclusion that there Is moth
ing to be gained from the sacrifice and
expense entailed in prolonging the
days work beyond reasonable per-
iod, and by mutual agreement the
closing OF stores at CLOCK during Ave
nights in the week is coming to be a
generally observed program.
The path of the country merchant
is not always strewn with roses and
he has many problems confronting
MIN which are overlooked by the COM
n.unities in which he does business.
AS business getter good roads are
among the best, and every farmer will
as general rule go to the town to do
his trading which has the best roads
entering it. II he lacks the proper
roads to travel over. in nine cases out
of ten. he will take advantage of the
Inducements offered by the parcel
post and patronize the mail order
houses. Moral: Boost for good
roads.

INDUSTRY AND IMPROVEMENT.

Bids have been put out all over the
state and will be opened March for
the $230,o00 construction work on the
new Inland Empire highway south
from Spokane. They call for the job
to be completed by October /, 1914.
The business men of Kellogg Idaho,
have started a movement for the paw
ing of the streets of that town and the
general opinion is that it should be
done but the kind of material and how
much has not yet been agreed upon.
The Chelan county commissioners
have decided to replace the. bridge
across the Wenatchee river with a
concrete structure to cost $4,000, and
will also build one of concrete at Dry
den to take the place of the present
steel structure.
w. C. E. Koch, lumberman of Mel.
son, B. c., has just completed flume
along Robson creek at cost of $780,
900. The f1ume is one and quarter
miles in length and except for the
| first 500 feet the sides are four feet
deep. 1t is estimated that 100000
feet of logs will be run down the flume
next spring and summer
A bill has been introduced in con-
gress to appropriate $2,0O0.OoO annual
| ly for the maintenance of rural post
roads in states which appropriate
funds equal to the sums apportioned to
them by the federal government. 1t is
not expected that the measure will
meet with any serious opposition as
| there is apparently a decided senti-
ment in favor of its early disposition.
The county commissioners of Lin
coin county have let the contracts to
the Coast Bridge Co. of Portland to
replace several wooden bridges in the
county with steel structures. At the
same meeting it was decided to build
the first two miles of the permanent
highway south toward Harrington 16
feet wide and the balance ~ feet
wide. 1t is estimated that the work
will cost $4,000 and when completed
will give continuous stretch of hard
surfaced highway from the county seat
to Harrington, a distance Of IA miles.
Judge Steiner of the Grant county
superior court has confirmed the pro-
ceedings leading up to the organiza-
ton Of the Quincy valley irrigation
district and the bond issue of 100000
voted by the district on January 3.
This is the largest irrigation district
organized in the state and comprises
over 100000 acres. AS soon as suffi-
cient bonds are disposed of work will
begin on the final survey of the main
canal and irrigation system. The
Quincy valley irrigation act comes up
for ratification or rejection at the next
election.

Takes Big Man to Buy Goods.

There is more of an art in buying
goods than most dealers realize. We
are all so self-centered that we uncon-
sciously imagine what pleases us is
the right and proper thing to do, and
that the goods, styles and patterns we
like are what every other person, Of
course, must also like. This colors
our buying Judgment, defects our rea-
soning, and is prone to cause us to
buy the things we are partial to rather
than the goods, styles and colorings
which our customers would prefer,
says the Harness World.
We may not be aware of this con-
dition. We may honestly think we are
deferring to our customers. But un-
less we go into the matter deeply, and
make unusual efforts to buy for 9TH
ers, we will unconsciously buy what
we want rather than what our custom
ers want.
A trade publication voices this
thought when 1t says: 1T takes a big
man to ignore his own tastes, inclina-
tons, opinions and likes; and select
for the buying public the things the
public likes
HOW uOeS ILLS tHouSHI otiiho you !
And are you sure that In your buying
you are continually asking yourself
what your customers would prefer?
Do you experiment and test to be
sure on these points?
Take horse clothing, for instance, In
the matter of colorings In some Sec
lions they want rather plain and quiet
effects. In other places the public
taste runs to red: in others 1t leans to
highly cclored and the variegated.
Have you ever kept account, an
alyzed and ascertained how the pub
lie taste In colors run among your Gus.
toners? Or do you buy to please your
own taste?
The same applies to qualities, to fin.
ish of the goods, and to multiplicity
OF details.
Dig deep into this subject Of buy.
ing. It will pay you.

The recent movement of stocks from

Flour-The trade in flour is about
as slack as it has Deen for several
months. Millers cannot reduce the
price owing to the strong values for
raw materials and with practically no
export demand the situation is neces.
sarily somewhat quiet. Nevertheless
the steadiness in wheat prices and the
firm tone of the market with the dis
position of the millers to hold their
quotations with regard to the cost OF
production, has beneficial effect on
the market.
Feed-The strength of the feed
market Is expected to continue until
the supply and demand is more evenly
balanced, as the demand exceeds the
supply, although the absence of real

COOPERATION AND BROTHER
 HOOD

The Almighty has so planned it that we cannot achieve real success in life without fellowship and brotherhood without a will ingness to work with our fellows and trust them and bear with them and help them. Otherwise, we not only cannot find the hap piness and satisfaction that should be ours, but as a people we cannot prosper greatly in matters of dollars and cents. And if trial and financial loss should now cause our farmers to de- velope in fuller degree thisispirit of comradeship and brotherhood, then the present light aff1iction in cotton prices may be worth a thousand times it's cost.

GOV. HAYS WILL NOT ISSUE
 PROCLAMATION

Little Rock, Nov. 25. No proc lamation will be issued by Gov. G. w. Hays asking the citizens of Arkansas to aid the starving Belgians. Gov. Hays is not against individuals doing all they desire in this direction, but he does not think the State of Ark ansas should recognize any country which is now engaged in the European war, more than another.
 President Wilson has asked the people of the United States to refrain from expressions in which they side with any of the beligerants and if we were to raise funds and pro- visions for Belgium, ignoring the other suffering nations, ; states Gov. Hays, I've certainly would not be maintaining the neutral ity our great Democratic presi- dent has asked of us. If it were to make donations to all war ring nations, it might be diff ferent, but Arkansas may have to ask for contributions for her self if this diversified farming campaign is not successful. The German citizens of Little Rock raised a fund and sent it to the Red Cross Society, an organi- zation which serves all nations alike, and there was no strings tied to the local German contri- button, so the wounded of the Allies may be treated with it instead of relatives of the sub. scribers. An action such as that might be sanctioned by z proclamation.

THERE IS A HELL.

Modern ideas are repugnant to Bishop H. c. Morrison, of the Methodist Episcopal chur c h, South, who presided over a con- ference at Little Rock last week, particularly the later day doc trines concerning Heaven and Hell.
 "The man who begins to waver on any of the cardinal teachings of the Bible is going backward, J says Bishop Morrison. ''The Book teaches us there is a req Heaven and a real Hell, and believe in them explicitly. It is the work of the Devil, this up tc date way of referring to Hell as a theory, or a punishment on earth. The Bible tells us there is a Hell, which has terrible tor ments, and there is surely sucf a place."
