The food inquiry ordered by the
government is progressing rapidly, not
only in this state, but in all parts of
the union. In New York it IS said that
the price of fish has gone away UP al
though great quantities are in cold
storage. In Buffalo -four has gone up
and an investigation is being made. In
Texas sugar has risen from $3.50 to
$3.50 per hundredweight since week
ago. In some of the western states,
while hogs declined in Chicago 81 per
100 pounds and cattle So cents to 85
cents per 100, the price tn the con-
sumer advanced.
The manager of large drug house
in New York had admitted to the dis
trict attorney there that he raised the
price of drugs without reason and he
has been ordered to produce his stock
list. At Portland, Ore, cane sugar is
being quoted at $S.05 per 100. the high
est price ever reached there.
Undoubtedly much of the imitation is
due to SPECTATORS and with the ma
ton wide investigation now going on
such form of exploitation of the peo-
pie in time of disaster will undoubt-
edly be stopped.

TROUBLE OVER WAGES
Troy Blacksmith Worked Three
Months without Knowing How Much
Pay He Was TO Receive.

| In the probate court Friday after
noon suit entitled Frank E. Sullivan
versus A. w. Blanchard was on trial
before Judge Morgareidge. Both par
ties to the action are residents of
Troy, the defendant being the propri-
etor of a blacksmith shop at that
place The plaintiff had been en-
ployed, it seems, in the defendants
shop for some time, though no def
mite arrangements had been made be-
tween the parties for the plaintiffs
compensation, their agreement being
that the going wages should be
paid.
The plaintiff contended MAT going
wages in the blacksmitlling trade
meant the sum Of 81 per day. The de-
fendant considered that going wages"
were only SO. The plaintiff was rep
resented by Attorney VIM. E. Lee and
the defendant by Attorney w. H.
Judge Morgareidge took the
matter under advisement.

HANDY WITH THE MITTS
Pete 0rcutt Said to Have JOstled
Clearwater County Treasurer.

| According to reports reaching
Moscow, a fracas at Orofino in which
p. l.. Orcutt, former Moscow news
paperman, but now editing the Clear
metropolis, was one of the chief fig
ures and Blair Hoar, county treas
urer, the other, it is asserted that
Orcutt displayed marked agility with
sufficient emphasis to place him in the
white Hope" class while Hoar is re-
ported to be suffering physical ang-
uish as result of the melee.
Mr. Orcutt's ability to swing the
editorial pen, vituperously where oc-
casion demands, is not unknown in
Moscow Since beginning to edit the
Orofino paper he has started some
thing which is said to be making a
certain class of political leaders squirm
with indignation. The county seat is
in a turmoil over exposure and charges
brought through the columns of Or
cults paper and it is said the end is
not yet.
The trouble in connection with the
fight last Friday arose from Mr.. Or
cults delving too closely into the fin-
ancial affairs of Clearwater county.
1t is alleged that but $4,000 of the
funds of the county, said to be $123,-
179.41, was drawing interest and that
Mr.. Orcutt was making inquiry at |
the office of the county board for more !

collector, the latter being saved from

WASHINGTON REFUSES GAME
Manager LarsOn's Liberal Offer for
Early Game Declined by Manager
HOrr.

| That there are more reasons than
refusing to meet Idaho in football in
the latter's territory seems apparent
in the following remarks gathered
from recent correspondence between
Graduate Manager G. l.. Larson of the
University of Idaho and Graduate
Manager Horr of Washington. In a
letter dated January ) addressed to
Manager Horr, Mr.. Larson said: AT
ter hearing and reading so many hard
luck stories about the University of
Washington athletic association being
broke | have decided to play the good
dollars $4,000 for a game here in
Moscow on October 18th. 1t is as
much as you have ever given us and
is a chance to make some money. 1t
means a loss to us of at least $500
but we are willing to sacrifice that
much to help the poor and needy and
to refute some of your statements that
we are out entirely for the cash.
IF you fellows have the least sense
of justice or fair play, please show
it by accepting my offer"
In response to this Manager Horr Of
Washington addressed the following
letter under date of January 13 to Mr..
Larson:
Your epistle received with great
mirth The proposition is certainly
fair, but October II is too early for
our young and inexperienced boys to
play such a grueling game as football.
The prevailing rains in our district,
unknown to you devils east of the
prohibit is from getting an
early start In fact it would be worse |
.han suicide to send our weaklings |
against you at so early a date. Cut |
ny throat if ever | complain against
daho."
