ITALY WORRIED over
HIGH COST OF LIVING

Rome, Oct. S.-The high cost of
living and particularly the price of
coal is becoming a subject of grave
concern in Italy as another war win
ter approaches. Due to continued OK
cessive freight rates by sea many sta
pie food articles are deared in Italy
than either France or England. De-
spite special treaty with England for
cheaper freight rates to be obtained
by the loaning of ships; sugar is selling
at 20 cents a pound and can be bought
only in small quantities for household
consumption from day to day. Coffee
sells at 80 to 10 cents pound. accord
ing to grade. Though Italy is q heavy
producer of wines. table wine that
once sold at cents a quart now sells
for IA cents and is inferior to the old
scent grade. Beer is sold at IA cents
a quart, milk at 10 cents. Good butter
Is IS cents a pound.
Coal that before the war sold at $40
per ton now sells at $50 and the price
may go higher as winter comes. Last
winter it was $40 to $40 per ton. Italy
hopes to import 100000 tons from Eng
land and 100000 tons from the United
States for Industrial uses this winter.

Object TO PAYING
OF SPRINKLINC TAX

Pleas for the cancelling of the
sprinkling assessment tax against both
the Boise Railroad company and the
Boise Valley Traction company were
made before the city council this aft
ernoon by Jess Hawley, attorney for
both companies. The tax against the
two companies amounts t. approx
mately $500 and It vas claimed that
the sprinkling was not a benefit to the
companies, that they had been operat-
ing for the past two years at finan-
cial loss and that the tax should not
be collected from public service cor
porations which were not meeting ex-
penses. The matter was taken under
Amusement.

MAKES GOOD IN FIRST
YEAR ON DRY RANCH

D. N. Clements was in the city today
from his homestead ranch on Dry
creek. He brought with him a big
load of wheat and a few samples of
White Australian corn, believed to
have been the first raised in this sec
ton. which he proposes to sell for seed.
Last February his homestead was all
in sagebrush and this year he, raised
20 acres of wheat which yielded 10
bushels to the acre and he has two
acres of the choice corn. which seed
he obtained from the plains section of
Colorado. where 1t was found to be the
only corn which would successfully
mature there. Mr.. Clements states the
ranchers of the Dry creek section all
raised good crops this year and are i'm
proving their ranches in first class
shape.

THE NATION Is SHOCKING
LY UNPREPAREp.

It b apparent that we are
Ehockingly unprepared. There
10 no room for controversy on
this point since the object les
son on the Mexican border. All
our available regular troops
(less. / believe, than 100000 are
there or In Mexico, and as these
have been deemed insufficient
the entire National Guard has
been ordered out; that Is, we
are summoning practically all
our movable military forces in
order to prevent bandit incur
sions. In view of the warnings
of the past three years, it Is
inexcusable that we should find
ourselves In this plight. For
our faithful guardsmen, who
with a fine patriotism responded
to this call and are bearing this
burden, / have Tothing but
praise. But ! think 1t little
short of absurd that we should
be compelled to cali men from
their shops, their factories, their
Offices and their professions for
such a purpose. This, however,
is not all. The units OF the Ma
tdonal Guard were at peace
strength, which was only about
one-hah the required strength.
It was necessary to bring in
recruits, for the most part raw
and unframed. Only a small
percentage Of the regiments re-
cruited up 10 war strength viii
have had even a years training
In the National Guard, which at
the maximum means one hun
dyed hours of military drill, and,
ON the average, means much
less. Men fresh from their
peaceful employments and ply
stcally unprepared have been
hurried to the border for actual
service. They were without
proper equipment; without
necessary supplies; suitable
conditions Of transportation
were not provided. Men with
dependent families were sent;
and conditions which should
have been well known were dis
covered after the event. And
yet the exigency, comparatively
speaking, was not . very grave
one. II involved nothing that
could not readily have been fore
seen during the past three years
of disturbance, and required
Only q modest talent for organ
ioation. That this Administra-
ton while pursuing its course
In Mexico should have permitted
such conditions to exist 10 al
most fncredible.-From Mr..
Hughes speech Of acceptance.

Mr.. HUGHES HAS EXPLODED TIE
HKEPT-US-oUT-OF-WAR"
ARGUMENT.

Mr.. Hughes attack upon the 'kept
us-out-of-war" argument has aroused
a story of enthusiasm.
"Kept us out of war;" he demands.
"Why, there were nineteen men-good
American soldiers, shot down at Vera
Cruz, and many Mexicans were killed
by our men. That was war. More
over, It was a very ignoble war. I
have heard three explanations Of the
Vera Cruz move.
"First, 1t was explained that it was
made in order to compel somebody
to salute the fiag-somebody who had
insulted us. But the flag was not sa-
Then 1t was said that the salute was
not what we sought, but to prevent
the landing of a boatload of ammuni-
ton intended for Huerta. The ammu-
milton, landed, however, and 1t has
been shown that 1t reached Huerta
in due season without interference on
our part.
"When that reason was shown to
be untenable, third one-and possibly
the real one-fnally was advanced.
1t was said that our seizure Of Vera
Cruz was move to compel the retire
ment of Huerta. It seems possible
that this is true, although we had
promised the Medcaps that we would
not interfere in their affairs and told
them more than once that we wanted
them to handle their own affairs.
'@That is why the Mexicans could
not understand us and that is why
they show little faith in our promises"

How to. Keep Up With
Rising Costs

One way this can be done
is by cutting out waste Ell
fort or increasing the eff
cheney Of time and money.
Merchants offset rising
costs by increasing stock
turnovers, by employing
more aggressive selling
methods, better organiza-
ton, judicious advertising
and more economical ar
rangement of stocks. Some
discontinue Improbable de-
partments, others add lines
that promise a good profit
to help bear the burden of
extra expense.
Manufacturers and farm
ers invest in time and labor
saving machinery. Some
discontin ue Improbable
products and others find
how to convert waste pro-
ducts into sources of rev.
enue.
Bankers, merchants and
manufacturers have met ris-
ing costs with the installing
of adding machines, book

Among those who enjoyed the fish
ing at Twin lakes last Sunday were Mr.
and Mrs.. P A. Snyder and Mr.. and
Mrs. c. A. Campbell, who left here
in their cars Saturday afternoon and
arrived at the Twin lakes trail on White
river, as darkness approached and made
the incline up the trail by the aid OF
ssarchlights and pack horse. The
event OF the catch, vouched for by a
representative OF The Echo, was Mr..
Wheeler's stunt in hooking large
cut throat fifty feet below the raft. and
was followed upward with such speed
both were landed safe on the raft.
Hon. M. E. Field, who represented
Chelan county in the Legislature four
years up to 1908, was here Monday
and called on The Echo. He now re-
sides at Manson, on Lake Chelan,
where he is interested in developing
an orchard. In talking over the politi-
cal situation he remarked that he was
deeply interested in the nomination of
Alonzo Murphy, OF Spokane, for con-
gress from the Fifth district. He has
known him for many years and says no
man in the district is better qualified
or knows better what the people of the
State OF Washington want than Mr..
Murphy. This was Mr.. Fields first
visit to LeavenwortE in fifteen years
and he said he noted many improve
ments.

Offsetting rising costs is
becoming more and more a
problem of greater efficiency
and service, which may be
approached in much the
same way, no matter what
the business.
Keeping up with rising
costs in our own case has
resulted in an advanced

we do not force on anyone,
but give gladly when it is
requested. This service
does not mean the installa-
