TRANSPORTATION NOTES.

In an opinion resembling the order
of the railroad commission that re-
duced distributing rates throughout
the state, Commissioners Daniel Boyle
and E. A. Morley of Montana say "the
compliments, with few exceptions,
have failed and even refused to give
the commission their testimony and
support. The commission is merely
the peoples representative, and GER
tainly if our constituents have no
cause for complaint there is no occa-
sion for further controversy"
The Idaho Northern railroad from
Nampa to Mccall, Idaho, up through
Long Valley, commenced laying rails
last week from the terminus of their
work of last fall. 10 miles below Nc
Call, and expect to have the track laid
in to the lake this week They have
force of 200 men at work. The ma
terial for the depot at Donnelly (Rose
berry P. o. was put on the ground the
first of last week and engineers are
now at work running the lines for the
Mccall depot, water tank location and
stock yards, on which work will be
started as soon as is possible to gel
the lumber, ETC., over the road They
expect to have this work completed
and trains carrying passengers by
July 1. Big excursions for July ove1

Grocer Had Good Scheme.

A country grocer in Nebraska has
a unique way of holding his own with
the great mail order concerns who
flood his trade with advertisements of
their miraculous bargains" BY
keeping himself informed as to what
goods are purchased from one of the
heaviest of outside houses, he buys one
of these particular brands and then
features it at a price lower than his
distant competitors. Naturally, he
loses a little on each sale but this he
charges to advertising. He knows his
own line is much better and as soon
as customer finds that the mail or
der house is selling a brand for more
than the home merchant, he has an
other plugger who is pretty sure to
stick with him.

"co-oPs" NOT ALWAYS THE BEST
Many People of Rural Districts Have
Had Sad Experience.

Many People of Rural Districts Have
Had Sad Experience.
1t is unfortunate that the results of
experience count for so little in guild
ing the conduct of individuals and
associations in embarking upon new
enterprises. If more attention were
given to the success or failure gen
orally attendant upon the exploitation
of certain projects, and their ultimate
effects upon those who give their
money or time to promotion, than that
effervescence and enthusiasm should
dictate the line of conduct, a great
deal of loss would be avoided.
If the farmers of the country, for
instance, would canvass the outcome
of the old grange movement in the
conduct of cooperative stores over a
quarter of century ago, the failures
attendant and the influence exerted
in organizing an association that was
then flourishing and powerful, but
later practically disintegrated, there
would be less confidence displayed in
the propaganda that the prosperity OF
the farmer was dependent upon the
absorption of the mercantile business
or in the punching of orders for guam
tity buying away from home.

sPokANE,s MARKET REPORT

Business still holds at that lndeln-
able position of keeping up a degree
of activity that is fairly well removed
from disappointment, while failing to
show a buoyancy and development
that would render conditions satisfac-
tory. Reports from local jobbers are
of a similar nature to those coming
from the commercial and industrial
centers of the country generally.
The big factor in producing a favor
able outlook for business as the sea-
son advances continues to be the
highly favorably crop prospect. The
report fol the department of agricul-
ture for June, indicating a yield of
winter and spring wheat for this coun-
try of over 900,O00,000 bushels for
1914, is taken as indicating that the
favorable prospect is being maintained
up to the mark which will undoubt-
eddy result in the securing of the
greatest harvest of breadstuffs in the
history of the nation. The figures
compiled by the department credit
Washington with a prospective yield
of 53.400,000 bushels, and with the un
usually late rains in the drier sections
of Washington, the conditions at pres
ent indicate that the state will realize
an added degree of agricultural pros
perity, which will be very soon influ
entail in stimulating activities in other
directions.
Provisions.
Butter-There has been no change
in the local butter market during the
week, the situation still being held al
firm tone, with price ruling at 25t
to csc.

being noted in the variance in th'

umns last week, the quotation OF
chickens advanced 15c and the figur'
is 13c to the producers this week 70

wise there has been no change in tn
situation over a week ago.
Lard and Cured Meats-In sympath,
with the local product, the quotation
on eastern lard is off Ac on fierce
this week, making the figure 12Hc, so
$6.25, los $3.50, SIS s7.s71a and 3s $7.9s
Fruits and Vegetables.
Berries-Kennewick and Hoo
River stocks are about all in and tn
market is depending on supplies fror
local sources. The weather the pas
week has not been of the right sort 70

been fairly well supplied. Prices thi
week are quoted at $1.50@s1.75. Their
has been no change in the price c

General Trade Conditions.

Dun's Review says: "Advices from
the leading commercial and industrial
centers are more optimistic and the
improved sentiment is reflected in
some expansion in the volume of
trade.
There is a healthier tone to the
dry goods market. A better inquiry
is noted for wool, which has lost none
of it's former strength.
"The best feature of the iron and
steel situation is the recent buying of
pig iron by leading cast iron pipe in
terests, itsbeing estimated that 100000
tons were involved In regard to cop
per, the demand has been so dull that
quotations have been forced to lower
levels"
Bradstreet's says: "Sentimentally
and fundamentally, trade conditions
are better, even though irregularity is
still in evidence. Jobbing trade at
many points outside of the southeast
and particularly in the northwest has
broadened and larger sales of southern
pig iron are noted; wool is active at
strong prices textile mills are fairly
we'll employed; crop conditions have
improved; railway traffic is heavier
