pared in advance and that the conference
had studiously awaited an opportunity
to launch its propaganda when it might
do most to cinyince the country that
the president and Congress were both
set upon war
Senators Sherman of Illinois and POM

acct, whose home was at So Jersey street,
this city, but who is now employed ana
lives at the DUPONT Powder works at
Haskell, reported to the police here that
he had been offered $4,000 to carry a
bomb into the plant Pracci was much
excited. The police are in doubt as TO
whether the offer was made as joke,
as test, or was meant seriously. De-
tectires Eyres and Pirolo were detailed
on the case.
Piracci's story was that he came into
the city Thursday evening and went to
a moving picture show. ANY one look
ing at him would know he worked in the
DUPONT works, because he had his iden-
tification number button sewed where it
could be seen.
He told the police that between pie
lures a well -dressed man sitting next
to him asked him if he worked in the
powder mills. When he said he did he
was told he could make bit of money
easily and was invited outside
Then, according TO Piracci. he was told
he would be paid $4,000 if he would carry
a bomb into the works in his dinner pail
He was assured there would be no danger
to him. He would have the bomb placed
in the pail in Paterson, and when he
reached the works all he would have to
DO would be to leave the pail in its
usual place and absent himself from its
vicinity.

EARLY DAY PRICES AT
FLORENCE.

Those who have been talking about
the high cost of living should take
look at an old day book bearing the
date of 1861 and 1862, which was
brought to the Progress office by Guy
Mcmillan. The book was found by
Mr.. Mcmillan at Florence, once
fiourishing mining camp of the Sal
mon river country. The binding was
all disintegrated and the list is faded,
but here are some of the items record
ed: Flour, $4,000 per sack: pound
tea, 81; 105 pounds beans, $105; three
pair socks, Sc: plug of tobacco, So ;
pair of boots. So: u pounds of bacon,
$3.50; box of yeast powder, $3.50;
pound of coffee. $3.50; axe handle, 81 ;
80 pounds of cheese, $40; two pounds
of crackers, 81; two candles, 81 SHOW

20 spikes $40: rice, $3.50 per pound

gallon syrup, $40; nails, $1.25 per
pound; two pounds of potatoes, $3.50;

The first thing that one might think
OF was that wages were In proportion,
but from other books and papers
found it was noticed that wages were
an ounce of gold a day, or about $3.50
which was not in keeping with the
prices charged as compared with prices
and wages of today

SELLS FARM FOR S1912O.

John III. Forsman last week sold his
fine 24O-acre farm east of town to Ed
ward and Gustav Eckermann for 49,
10, or $50 an acre. The place is
quite well improved and is one of the
best in this locality and the buy is an
ideal one for the Eckermann brothers
as the new purchase lies just across
the road from their present home and
the two places can be farmed almost
as easily as one. While sales of Camas
Prairie real estate have been few and
far between during the past two years
the value of our farm land has not de-
