eacerness OF the advertisers TO Tree
The government of the burden OF their
support. -. a..
The result OF the appeals from the
authorities for the practice OF economy
cannot be intelligently estimated al
this time, but some indications OF IL
already are IN evidence.
For example, Il has been the custom
o. majority % small tradesmon
throughout the city 70 present their
,.eadv customers with slight remem-
brances in the line Of goods as ChriSt-
mas greetings. But this wear, as II by
concerted agreement. they nave neg
lected 10 do so. Although the sharp
increases in food prices have resulted
IN a wider margin for the tradesmeI'
In most cases, they plead that the vol
ume Of business has fallen away from
20 TO 30 per cent.
The idea of economizing seems 70
have taken e frmer grip on the we'll
to-do class than on the very rIch or
the very poor. The preference for third
class Pullman cars is very evident 10 a
traveller on the London, Brighton d
south Coast Railway These cars are
an innovation. and. although they nave
been in operation only two months the
sale OF ilTSf-cIdSS llChels Is dIHlpSL itB
ligible until the third-class Pullman
compartments have been booked.
The knowledge that new-laid eggs
fetched 80 cents dozen IN New forS
once staggered me TO such an extent
that ! never dared order them IN a
restaurant where they charged less
than 90 cents a pair And to-day comes
The announcement that alleged No. ]
eggs are 10 command the neat sum OF
: cents apiece 90 cents a dozen. And
with ham al 20 cents pound, who can
breakfast with clear conscience?
They have explained 1t to us-these
crafty dealers. They arc just as good
az explaining as their brother high
binders in the States. It's very simple.
The hens have gone on strike. Up TO
now the hens were about the only body
of laborers which hadn't struck. But
that consolation has fled. On the word
of honor of the poultrymen, the mems
VIII not lay eggs.
There are just as many hens, u is
admitted, but they have caught the
spirit of the times and are loaing on
the lob 70 such an extent that their
output is 30 per cent below the normal.
And on top Of this the authorities OF
one of London's boroughs last week de-
stroyed 100000 eggs that had gone
too stale TO be disguised by the most
resourceful food purveyors in London.

But an hour later. from mysterious
corners and dark. unightcd paths. the
crowd flowed into the grand ways again
and trudged in silence TO the churches.
There was something strange and
weird, almost uncanny. about that
black -robed. silent procession passing
through the dark streets In the dead of
night. IL was phase OF life and q
spirit Of Paris that the stranger seldom
sees.
And they crowded into the churches
and filed the streets and alsles and

and into streets. where they waited
patiently for Il chance to enter.
One saw old women IN black and
young men I'm horizon blue kneel upon

farmers that the road could be con.
structed along the lines suggested by
the Kamiah fellows and as a result q
committee was appointed as follows:
George Kilmer, Major Farris, A. j

The Winona men commenced work
soliciting at once and raised $1400 from

it will be possible to raise the required
amount needed to build a road on a
five per cent grade.
Those in charge are all practical men

Tuesday evening, much improved. A
piece of the bone in her skull was re

of the Woodland section was a visitor

Mr.. Mason stated that it was 20 years
ago this TALL that he camped ON the
north side of the river and made pre-
parations to climb the hill, to his pres

seven days to get a four-horse LOAD up
the hill over the hog back. From his
description the beautiful Woodland
country was almost a virgin forest AZ
that time and the happy homes we see
there today are the result of years of
hard labor and toll.
