Press Comment
Prosperity Is Here
{ Ellensburg Democrat,)


While some politicians and news
papers are still hugging the spectre
OF hard times, and are reluctant to
admit that the country is on the eve
OF great prosperity, the reports from
all over the United States show that
general business conditions are great
ly improved, and in many instances
real business booms are in progress.
The railroads have opened shops
at hundreds OF places where they
have been closed or running on short
time for months. The factories of the
East are receiving orders for more
goods than they can manufacture.
The lumber and single mills of the
West are opened and running with
full crews Of men. The nations at
war are ordering millions of dollars
worth of foodstuffs, clothing and
other goods. While it may take a
little time for the effect Of all this
to reach the smaller local business,
it is bound to come, and within a few
months the whole country should feel
the effects of the changes now
going on.

Here's Some Good Straight Talk

heres some GOOO SCr0lgnC Talk
(Chewelah independently
Ordinarily the Independent does not
take notice Of the rantings of vulgar
Jester, but the scurrilous items that
appear in the Statesman-Index from
time to time relative to Governor
Lister and the state administration
are discredit to the writer. Brother
Doty cannot possibly hope to elevate
himself in the eyes of his readers. by
his scurrilous and insinuating ar
ticles. Relative to the Chehalis
school, If the learned editor of the
Index will recall, scandals of misman-
agement and abuse were started
under the administration Of Gov. Hay,
and it would be just as consistent to
lay the root of any evil that may have
existed to Governor Hay as to the
present administration. 1t is not
good citizenship to play for political
sympathy at the expense of our public
institutions, which unfortunately,
have to be maintained for the better
ment of government and our citizen

Farmer Nets $4,000

One Walla Walla farmer, accord
ing to 'inside" information fur
nished the Times by local wheat ex-
porters, was wise enough to store his
wheat in a warehouse at the begin
ming of the selling period last Sep
TENDER.
He had 10000 bushels. The price
offered him then was less than 80
cents a bushel.
He sold when the right time came
at $3.50 bushel in the Walla
Walla ENTHUSIASTICALLY netting
about $4,000 on the deal.
Some people say that wheat will

war continues. In the meantime, the
Pacific coast -four mills cannot man
ufacture -four at a price which will
meet the paying capacities of the
Chinese and Japanese. Exports to
the Orient have been greatly re-
duced.
Facing these facts, all the local
wheat authorities predict that the
cereal crops of the whole Northwest
state will continue to be in demand
in Europe, and that, If the farmers
of Washington, Oregon and Montana
have learned to understand the sit
uation, the acreage sown in winter
and spring wheat for the crop Of
1914-15 will break all records.

IN WHEAT
REALIZE MILLIONS
BROKERS REAP RICH HARVEST
IN CEREALS SPECTAC-
ULAR RISE

SA%AAAs ASAkoAI
Two million five hundred thou
sand dollars represents the profits Of
half dozen Seattle, Portland and
Tacoma wheat buyers and -four mil
lers from the bulge" in wheat dur
ing the past few weeks, due to the
war. according to recent article in
the Seattle Times, which goes on to
say:
The cleanup has been made. The
winners are M. H. Houser of Seattle
and Portland, Ore; the old and
world-wise firm of Balfour. Guthrie
& Co., the Centennial Mills, the
Fisher FIGURING Mills company and
a few others. including Kerr, Clifford
& Co.
But the total of $4,000, 900,
cleaned by Seattle and Portland
wheat men, is not to be forgotten
it's more than twice the value, in
dollars and cents, of the historic gold
cargo of the treasure ship Portland,
arriving here from st. Michael, July
1887.
There are bank figures to prove
every word of the foregoing.
Last Friday all records were
broken in the Pacific Northwest when
Moritz Thomson, president of the
Centennial Mills, sold May wheat at
1882.
Houser, the Portland plunger. who
lately established a branch office in
Seattle. and who leased the West Sc
attic elevators, is said to be the
largest winner in the greatest wheat
movement Seattle has known.
HOuser Wins q Million
Houser's winnings are rated at
nearly $1,000,000. He bought wheat
at the outbreak of the continental
war at about 80 cents a bushel. He
nearly doubled his money.
Houser is reported to have char
tered various steamships, after hav-
ing sold his wheat for European
markets. Because of the war, the
charters, in two instances at least.
were cancelled, it is said. In the
meantime, the price Of wheat rose
to point where Houser was certain
of profit of nearly 40 cents to the
bushel.
Talk of making money-and max
ing it fast.
Those two cargoes amounted, &C.
cording to all reports, to about 2OO,-
900 bushels.
Something like $4,000 velvet"
for Houser. resulted from this deal.
Those who know all about the
wheat situation in the Pacific North
west, say that this is but a sample
of the magical operations Of Houser,
who, having SO successfully operated
as buyer and seller, is locally
given the title of Wheat King" of
the North Pac1nc.
One Seattle concern, dealing in
wheat for milling purposes, is known
to have profited at least 100000 by
the extraordinary situation. An
other and a different concern has
laid aside a comfortable margin of
several hundreds of thousands Of
dollars profit because of the fact that
the company bought outright, very
large quantity of wheat raised in
Eastern Washington at a bout 80
cents q bushel.
Today the same wheat is worth
nearly double that sum.
To illustrate what has actually
happened, club wheat has been sold
within a few days at Walla Walla,
at $1.31 per bushel which was pur-
chased by the exporters in September
last ct about IS cents a bushel.

The Seattle Times says that town
has lost contract for one million
pairs of socks for European soldiers
because the town has no knitting
works. The Times might have added
that that clearing has also lost con-
tract for one hundred thousand
horses. as they have no grazing ter
ritory there to raise them; that the
contract for 1000 field guns went
elsewhere because Seattle does not
make them. So it is all down the
line. The loss to Seattle probable
aggregates billion dollars because
the town is unable to deliver the
goods. The same fact maintains
right here in Quilcene. We should
worry.
