Trying Times for Newspapers.

1t Is not often that actual figures
from the books of a great newspaper
in an important city are given to the
public as was done in recent law
suit in Los Angeles. The big loss suf-
fered last year by the morning Tri-
bune and the evening Express, pub
lished by Edwin T. Earl at Los An
geles, amounting to over $275,OO0, is
significant in that it shows the COM
plete decentralization that recently has
taken place is some cities in the news
paper business.
Th Los Angeles Express is an old
newspaper and was making money up
TO two years ago. The Los Angeles
Tribune is new paper established
four or five years ago. Each suffered
a large part of the aggregate loss of
$275,000.
To what extent the rising cost of
doing business contributed to this re-
suit has not been stated, but it is
fair assumption that. the enormous
prices exacted by paper manufactur-
ers had great deal to do with it.
That many successful newspapers
have been turned into losing enter
prises in the last year by the increase
in their white paper bill can be read
lily believed when one considers that
the New York Times is required to
pay $750,000 more for it's white
paper this year than it paid last year.
The Chicago News is paying nearly
million dollars more fof its paper this
year than last.-Spokesman- Review.

The Oregon Blue Book.

The Gazette-Times is in receipt of
a copy of the 1s17-191S Oregon Blue
Book, just off the press, as a compli-
ment from Secretary of State Ben w.
Olcott.
In addition to the matter ccontain-
ed in former editions of this publica-
tion, which has been corrected to
date, there is included a table show
ing dates of the creation of the sew
eral counties of the state and the de-
riyation of the county names, the
Declaration of Independence, the
Federal constitution. the several
Acts relating to the admission of
Oregon to statehood, a synopsis of the
Federal Naturalization Laws and a
statement of the taxable property in
the several counties for the var 1916.
An interesting table showing the
approximate registration by sexes
under the several political parties is
also included.
Especial attention is directed to
the Table of Contents and the Fore
word, from an examination of which
may be obtained a comprehensive
idea of the scope of the book.
Copies of the Oregon Blue Book
will be forwarded to all residents of
the state upon request.

Returns From Alaska.

After spending the past fifteen
months in Alaska, Marshall Phelps,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. A. M. Phelps of
this city has returned to the states.
Mr.. Phelps was engaged in mining
work on the Copper River, 300 miles
inland at Cordova. While good wages
are paid in the north country, Mr..
Phelps was not impressed with the
climate, owing to the extreme cold.
However he has now satisfied that
desire of seeing Alaska and will now
be content to remain in the states
for some time to come. He says there
is very little excitement in Alaska
on account of tn war. In that par
ticular section where he was located
Mr.. Phelps says news came in at long
intervals and it was an impossibility
to keep up on current events.

Harvest to Start Soon.

Pete Wightman, who was in the
city the first of the week states har-
vest will start there soon. Haying
IN the creek has been in progress for
some time and the Alfalfa Lawn
Dairy ranch has produced some fine
: ats again this year. Oats on that
place last year yielded better than
100 bushels per acre, although Mr..
Wightman says the yield will not be
80 great this year owing to the fact
that the grain has been grown en-
tirely without irrigation.

War And Prosperity

Let us get out of the no- 'tion that the war will bring bad times. In that particu- lar, this country is fortunate ly situated. The govern ment is preparing to issue bonds to the tune of five billion dollars. All of that money will be used in the United States, even if three billion of it is loaned to the allies in Europe. Not a dol lar of it will ever go to Eu- rope. It will be paid for la Dor and material in America.
 Under the present plan about two billion will be raised annually from extra sources of taxation, and MT.
 Rockefeller's pocket book will be hit rather hard. But he can stand it. So can the man with a salary of $500, who probably will be called upon to give up about five per cent of it to Uncle Sam. Excess profits are to be tax led heavily. This means, not destruction of the money but merely a redistribution of it, and if prices of necessities can be held down the "com- mon geezer" will have more money in the savings banks before the war is over than he ever had before, and will have had more to spend. The aggregate wealth of the country will suffer, because so many people will be en- gagged in destructive rather than productive pursuits, but the redistribution of money will be at worst, much like the rebuilding operations of a big and prosperous factory whose building and equip fully insured has been destroyed by fire. There is a loss, but it falls upon the insurance companies which have apportioned it among the insured everywhere, but always upon those who can afford to pay it. --Albuquer- que Journal.

Takes Contract For Hauling

Takes Contract For Hauling
 The Navajo Copper com pany has let a contract to J. Lorenzo HubbeH of Cana do, for the hauling of their storage bins to Flagstaff. The ore will be brought across the greater part of the way to the bins, over the heavy sand roads by cater pillar trucks.
 Senator Hubbell says the number of teams he will put on the haul will depend on the number of tons of ore the company can deliver at the bins. He is ready to put on a hundred teams if neces- sary to handle the work.
 Many tons of ore have been stacked up ready for the caterpillar haul and Sen ator Hubbell will soon have teams handling his end of the work. He will also run ] commissary store at both ends of the haul. Flagstaff Sun.

ClldC PuOIIC OWI1OI OlIlp It. duces costs in living and lother expenses, Carl D. Thompson writes the follow ing in Pearson's Magazine:
 If your groceryman should suddenly reduce the price lof potatoes you would be Surprised, would you not?
 If he should send you word that whereas he had been charging you sixty cents a peck, from now on, inasmuch as he had found that his pro- l fits were more than he Thought necessary, he would hereafter charge you only fifty cents a peck; and if a A few weeks later the same groceryman should announce "a still further reduction, and then a third, fourth, fifth and a sixth what Would you do?
 You might not survive the Eshock.
 But do not be alarmed. Nothing of the sort is going Ito happen. We know that under present conditions sllch 9 thing is impossible. 1t is not going to happen in the grocery line. 1t is not going to happen in meats. We are quite sure that it is Impossible in the coal line. It is not going to happen to gasoline or oil.
 And yet, just that sort of lining is happening in some live places.
 On March 21, 1916, the Board of Directors of the Metropolitan Water District Iof the city of Omaha, Ne braska, having in charge the management of the Omaha municipally owned and oper- lated water works system, announced to it's patrons, Ethe people of Omaha, the Sixth reduction in water lrates. Water service that thad cost the people of that Fcity $21.88 a year in 1912, when a private company owned the plant, now costs $15. 26. A reduction of about thirty per cent.
 Another instance: electri- city in Seattle, Washington. The people in Seattle used to pay a private company 2Oc a kilowatt hour for electri- city. In 1902 the city start ed a municipal lighting plant and reduced the rate 9 1-2I cents a : kiloWatt. In June, 1911, the municipal plant re- duced the rate to ' cents a kilowatt hour; in 1912, to 6I cents; in 1915, to 51-2 cents. And these are the maximum rates. The street lightingI rate for 1917 is 4 cents; while the rate for cooking averages about 2 cents a kilowatt hour.
 If we could reduce the price of coal from $10 a ton to- even $5 a ton; if we could reduce the cost of meat even one-half, or of groceries one third, we would not need to worry so much about the high cost of living.
 Public ownership has re- duced the cost of postage to ! 2 cents a letter. The parcel post has reduced the cost of expressage. The public school has made education free and well nigh universal.
