THEIR OWN FAULT

The lumber and single manufac
turers of the Northwest are making
great howl because their business
is dull and are trying to throw the
responsibility upon the new tariff.
AS matter of fact the responsibility
for existing conditions rests largely
upon their own shoulders. They
have enjoyed a monopoly and have
worked it to the limit. They have
fixed and maintained high prices
and, going upon the theory that the
people must buy lumber and shin
giles, have made no effort to adVer-
tise their products or stimulate de-
mand for them.
Meanwhile the manufacturers of
cement have been using a lot of
printers ink to prove that concrete
is cheaper and better than lumb Der
for building purposes, the manufac-
turers of patent roofing materials
have bought great deal of advertis-
ing space to induce people to use their
products instead of shingles, and the
hard surface paving companies have
adopted the same methods to give
publicity to the superiority which
they claim for their paving over
wooden blocks. This advertising
campaign has born fruit and the fall
ing off in the demand for lumber and
shingles is due to 1t more than to
the importation of lumber from
Canada. When the lumbermen wake
up and spend a little money in adyer-
Using and pushing the sale of their
products, instead of deluding them
selves with the idea that, because
they have cornered the available sup
ply of standing timber, the people

HOGS AND BACON

Along in the middle and late 90s
hogs were selling at SO and "a per
cwt, and bacon was selling at 10 or
IL cents a pound Now hogs are sell
ing around Z and 8 cents and bacon
is selling for 35 cents a pound.
In 10 years improvements have
been made in marketing, and in MAX
ing bacon. The crude methods of 10
or 20 years ago, in selling and pro-
ducing bacon, the beef trust and the
packing house machinery should
count for something TO the consumer.
The savings effected by machinery
and trusts should give the working
man more bacon for a days work.
But whatever apparent rise of wages
the workman has received has largely
been absorbed by the higher cost Of
living, and he actually gets less bacon
for his day S work than he did. Also,
the consumer get away yonder the
worst of it. The difference between
the hog and the bacon l ) years ago
was or cents; which was supposed
to Indicate the cost of producing the
bacon. Now the number of hogs has
increased in 5 years, and the num-
Der of people who eat bacon has also
increased and increased greatly.
There may be some reason in charg-
ing 80 cents for bacon today as
against 10 or 1 cents l 5 years ago
or such matter. But if there is rea-
son in the rise of the price of bacon
there is equally good reason why
there should be a similar rise in the
price of hogs. 1t clearly cost cents
to manufacture and sell a pound of
bacon 20 years ago, when fewer peo-
pie we're clamoring for bacon; and
it clearly takes 81 cents to manu-
facture and sell a pound of bacon
now when people are so keen for
meat that bacon sells itself like post
age stamps.
Why is this thusness? Either the
farmer who grows the hogs, the
the consumer who buys the bacon is
getting the worst of it, or all three.
These remarks are made apropos
of the death of Edward Morris, the
great packer, who left an estate of
$20,000,000. lis is one of score
OF his kind. Hundreds of million Of
dollars are being made by men who
are oyercharging the public for theif
services as captains of industry.
Chancellor Strong of the Kansas
State University, gets $4,000 or $4,000
a year, and his job is much more dir
ficult and requires much more train
ing, and is harder for the directors
to fill, than is the job of the man
who runs packing house. If Ed
ward Morris, the packer, had left a
fortune of $4,000 instead of $780,
100000, perhaps there would not be
such an overwhelming gap between
the price of meat and the price of
cattle and hogs in these days.
That gap between the price of hogs
and the cost of bacon is one of the
great issues before civilization, and
it represents not merely meat prices,
but prices of every commodity known
to our widening markets. 1t is the

A GREAT WORK

Few people in the state realize
lat a great work is being accom-
shed at the penitentiary in Walla
hlla by Henry Drum, the new war
b. Not only is he making prepara-
ms to save the taxpayers a good
hl of money, but what is better,
is inaugurating methods which
ll result in making good citizens Of
Any of the inmates.
The penitentiary has 160 acres Of
bid, but for some reason a good deal
| it not occupied by the buildings
Is been allowed to lie idle. Mr..
Eum is arranging to put every foot
this land in cultivation. He Is
living it leveled, so that it can be
Egated, and is removing the debris
pm the site of the old brick yard
Id iute mill. This reclaimed land
I'll make splendid place for a veg
hble garden and potato field, where
psf of the vegetables used in ,he
Btitution can be raised. The warden
Is also planned and had constructed
up-to-date hog raising plant,
here enough pigs can be produced
supply the inmates with fresh
lrk and ham and bacon. He pro-
ses to use more smoked meat and
Ss fresh beef in the penitentiary
81. A well arranged and up-to-date
ultry plant has also been con-
ructed, and the herd of COWS at the
sutution will be enlarged and i'm
owed. All these improvements are
ing made in a thoroughly practical
~ at very little cost, except for the
ncrete and small amount of new
moer used in the construction. The
Proen proposes to make the farm a
Elng proposition, where up-to-data
etnods are used, but no costly ex-
iriments are tried.
BUT Mr.. Drums greatest work is
ing accom- plished by the reforms
plch ne is inaugurating within the

INTELLIGENCE SHOWN
by CIRCUS ELEPHANTS
Two Monsters Have Their Own Way
in Getting Out Of a Rail
way Car.

The most Interesting incident OF circus
day. which is free TO all who wish to
avail themselves OF the opportunity. is
the arrival and unloading of the five spe-
cial railway trains bearing tile circus
paraphernal!a and the animals. There
are 700 beautiful horses with the Barnum
& Bailey Greatest Show on Earth, which
gives two daily exhibitions here next
Monday and Tuesday.
One of the especially interesting sights
is the performance of two mammoths in
getting out of their huge car.
The other elephants in this remarkable
herd of forty rare specimens Of Asiatic
and African origin in vaCating their
travelling compartments walk down
heavy gang-plank that inclines from the
car door down to the ground. The car
doors are ten feet high. which, of course.
makes the big elephants stoop to get
through as they step out upon the des-
cending plank. The two mammoths are
so tall and so wide, however. that they
cannot get out of the car door until the
gang-plank is taken away. They there
fore calmly wait until all Of their travel
ing mates have walked the plank and
are grouped together awaiting the COM
ing of their leaders. Then it is that the
two monsters get in motion. and prove
that they know a thing or two about
the solution of mathematical problems.
They drop to their knees. and wriggling
their great bodies forward slowly man.
age to get their front feet out and upon
the ground.
The floor of the car is about five feet
above the ties of the roadway, but this
does. not keep them from reaching the
solid foundation of the earth without mis-
hap or trying delay. Once their fore
feet are on the ground they draw their
bodies forward. allowing their hind legs

Gems of Music and song Give DE.
light to Her Guests.

Yesterday afternoon at the home OF
Mrs. Albert w. Harmed in Thirteenth
street Miss Tessie Masters and Miss
Corinne Locket sang to a small and
specially invited audience. Miss Mas
ters possesses a contralto voice of real
emotional quality. which showed to ad-
vantage in her rendering of Grieg's 'Ich
liebc dich;" and in her encore. the ever
beautiful Annie Laurie" she charmed
by her understanding of the songs sim
plicity. Miss Lockett's SOPRANO is strong
and partakes OF the dramatic. PartiCu-
larly noteworthy was her satisfying in
depreciation Of Iomer's setting to Hood $
Song of the Shirt The two young
ladies were encored both singly and
after their duet. for they gave evidence
to the discriminating Of earnest work.
Both OF them sing regularly at the
Church of the Ascension. whose choir
has been so strikingly successful under
the direction Of Mr.. Harmed.
The guest soloist OF the afternoon was
SiGnor Carmine Fabrizio. one of the vio-
linists of the Boston symphony Orches-
ira. His playing. sympathetically ac-
by George Wilson, was n thor
GAghly successful expression Of true and
delicate feeling. and was heartily en-
cored by those who were privileged to
hear IL.

and Masters King on the violin and
also violin solos by Miss Mary Dohr.
Elsie Harveys Weaver, pianist, accom-
panied the songs.
There were kings and a queen and a

are supposed to be, and all were well
interpreted and played.
The scenery was made especially for
the play and the costumes were dainty
ana attractive. More than 1000 relatives

they are soon able toiget one hind foot
out and then the rest is easy. They act
as IL they took more or less pride in
this feat. and as soon as II Is achieved.
they begin to trumpet and wave their
trunks with an energy that bespeaks
deep-seatcd satisfaction. The waiting
group of elephants greet this signal OF
their leaders with an effective display of
their own, and begin TO amble in a circle
with the hurried gait that makes their
ring performance both astonishing and
pleasing.
The five herds OF eiephants form an at

which will leave the show grounds about
10 o'clock on the morning Of show day.
