PURCHASING POWER
OF FARMERS

The purchasing power of the farm
er depends not only upon the money
value of what he produces, but also
upon the money value of what he
buys. From 1899 to 1909 census
years. the money value of one acre
of the farmers crops increased 72.7
per cent, but in the same period the
money value of the articles usually
purchased by farmers had increased
12.1 per cent; consequently, as re-
suit of the greater increase in the
price of what farmer sold than in
the price of what he bought, the net
increase in the purchasing power Of
the produce of one acre was 81 per
cent; that is, one acre of the farm
er's crop in 1909 could buy 81 per
cent more of the articles usually
bought by farmers than in 1899.
Upon the basis of the purchasing
powefof the value Of one acre Of pro-
duce, the year 1909 stands as the most
prosperous for farmers of the past
so years for which there are records.

THE CROUCH.

q The Great Creator in His wisdom
created many men of many minds and
tenperaments knowing that if the sons
Of men were alike in wishes end
desires it would lead to amending
strife.
He created well, for man is the
noblest work of God. But in some
way there crept irto the world q
creature God did not create--a thing
self-made, be II male or female, that
is hated, despised and abhorred; q
thing self-created, 5elf-pitied and alb
normally self-loved
This self-created creature is the
chronic crouch that walks here and
there in every town and community
searching for happiness-that he may
destroy it. Flowers and children, be-
cause they represent beauty and love,
he detests. He reads as he runs that
Palmer disappeared six weeks ago and
when she reappeared she said she had
been wandering in the woods eating
acorns and berries. She made the ex-
pertinent for her health and says she
never felt better than she does now
Healdsburg, Calif.-A remarkable
fall from the heavens of meteoric floss
took place here recently. The floss
ranged in size from tiny specks to
sheets 20 feet square.

"kiPLlNG OF THE NORTH"
 NOW ON THE BATTLE FRONT

Robert w. Service, the well known Yukon writer, who left the territory three years ago, since which time he served as correspondent in the Bal kan war and then went to Paris and married a French girl and settled down there to write, has given up the grind of making copy and gone to the front Meager information in the subject was printed in the Toronto Globe on June 3, which cantains the following from Polly Peele. writer for the woman's page in that paper:
 Robert W. Service, the Canadian poet and novelist, has left for the front, where he will drive a motor car. MT. Services friends in Paris thought he was devoting his months here to the production of another novel, to follow "The Pretender," instead of which he was studying the habits and haunts of motor cars and learning to make the various parts. Mrs. Service is a French woman"

ment of freight destined for Arctic coast points and will not get away be- fore the storm subsidies. From present indications this may not be for several days. The delay oeeasioned to this vessel Is an excellent example of the need for the Snake river harbor. Up to the present time the Arctic has lost a great number of days through having to wait for calm weather in which to load passengers and freight. The Silver Wave and also the other coasting ves- sells, while more fortunate than the Arctic, have never the less lost consid- erable time since the opening of naviga- tion.

Galen Fry who was representing the Alaska road commission in the north, arrived from the Candle and InmachulS section on the Silver Wave Thursday having concluded the work of the com- mission for the season MT Fry says |that the work was largely in the nature of repairs and renovations and much graveling and cordroying was done on the nineteen mile road from Deering up the Inmachuk. Frye designates this road as one of the best in this section
 of Alaska. The outlook for winter
 mining in this section Is especially |good, says MT. Fry, and there will un-
 questionably be considerable increase

Leo Wittenberg reports that there is considerable apprehension along the northern coast concerning the Belve- dere and other vessels now in the Arc tie owing to the heavy ice which may cut off their escape and compel them to remain during the winter. The schooner Holmes is reported to be on her return from Kilvana and will prob ably get out all right, but it is be- lieved that the Challenge will have a most difficult time to reach Barrow and return before the ice closses in. Louis Lane with the Polar Bear and also Gottschalk are still at some point in the far northern waters.

The city assessor has about complet- Cd the work of real estate assessment but has been considerable delayed in the matter of fixing the assessments on personal property owing to the fail ure of many of the merchants to hand | in their blanks. As the time has expir- ed several days ago MT. Grimm will not wait much longer but will fix the assessment himself Owing to the great decrease in the amount of stocks car
 ried at the present time, the city will apparently be pretty hard pressed to make both ends meet until spring un- | less the rate of taxation Is raised to 1 two per cent. As was the case last year. the owners of real estate will be compelled to bear the greater burden of supporting the city government un- der the present order of affairs. We opine that it is about time that the council should get together and dis play some thing more than a passive l interest in this matter as from present Indications there is a strong proba- bility that a great many of the real
 property owners will refuse to pay as- ] easements on their property which are
 both unjust and unequitable True the
 city can seize their property but such
 action will not provide the money to
 run municipal affairs.

The harbor committee of the Cham Der of Commerce held a conference with Capt. Ernberk yesterday at which the harbor matter wa gone over. Capt. Ernberk gave the committee to under stand that he will go into the matter in a very thorough manner and will make detailed reports to the depart ment as to the needs, the volume of shipping and the possibilities of con- struction. Soundings will be taken and every detail investigated. It IS intimated that the urgent necessity for a shelter of some nature has long been recignized by the department and should the conditions justify there IS every reason to hope that provisions or some kind will be made.

A number of the knowing ones assert that fully one hundred men have gone to work within the past ten hours and the demand from the creeks still con- tinues.

The radio received a wire from the Victoria last evening stating that the vessel was sixty miles south of Nunivak island at ten o'clock and in the midst of terrific southeast gale which was making hard going for the big liner. At the time of sending the message the Vic was only making about four knots per hour. The steamer La Touche which pulled out from St. Michael few days ago was alsoh aving difficult time and was compelled to anchor off Cape Par ishes. The storm now prevailing her Is probably continuation of the same as that reported by the vessels.
