Shifting the Blame.

The weekly expose of the reason for
the high cost Of retailed farm prod
ucts issued by the New Jersey state
department of agriculture places the
burden upon the retailers, who are
making, the report says. enormous
profits, ranging from per cent to 460
per cent. The comparative tables
show that in nearly every instance
the wholesale city price, as compared
with the farm price of certain vege
tables, does not show anything like
the margin of profit exacted by retail
ers in cities.
One of the interesting facts in this
statement is that with the farm and
wholesale price of cabbage running
comparatively low, the retail profits
scared from so per cent to 400 per
cent, with the highest margins OF
profit existing in Mount Holly and
Philadelphia, which are the market
centers nearest the Wrightstown
camp of the United States army.

No Labor Shortage.

There is plenty of labor If proper
wages are paid and proper housing
conditions furnished, says State Com
missioner of Labor Mclaughlin Of
California. who declares that the hys-
terra Of chambers of commerce aud
certain farming interests is not sup
ported by analysis Of the facts. "The
cry for farm labor" he says. lis
based largely upon the selfish desire
of each community to secure to itself
an excess supply of labor in order to
make an abundant supply available
at the time it will be needed. The
experience Of the public employment
bureau has shown that wherever a
farmer offers a proper wage there is
no difficulty in filling the Jobs. The
employers who are willing to pay the
wages now demanded by labor by rea-
son of the increased cost OF living,
find no difficulty in obtaining the nee
essary supply"

ployed by his company. After being
raked fore and aft by the committee.
President King has announced that

under which the employees worked
were revealed.

Tuesday night, opened a new
packing plant at farm not far

Thursday for the Tacoma Christ
mas trade. Altho the loss of prop

scale than before.
Nearly $1,000 worth of con-
crete bank protection work on the
Puyallup river near Mcmillan,
built last year to protect the city
pipe line, was completely washed
away. Had the flood continued
a few days more. there was almos.
a certainty that the pipe line
would have been washed out, and
the city cut off from its water
source.

RECEDE
RAPIDLY

Termination of the eight-day
downpour of rain, followed by the
cold snap and frost Wednesday
night have practically put an end
to the flood danger in Pierce
county and the Northwest.
County engineers reported that
the water in the Puyallup, White
and Stuck rivers are subsiding
repidly and that the danger point
has passed. The county has lost
three small bridges and probably
a number of bulkheads, but no
very great loss is reported. No
definite estimate Of damage has
been made at the county engi-
neer's office.
Falling temperatures have
checked the rapid melting Of the
mountain snow, thus shutting Off
the big source of trouble.
Interurban trains have started
running, and the Puget Sound
Electric Co. announced that the
trains would be running on full
schedule Thursday.
The danger to the city water
pipe line at Mcmillan has passed
entirely.
The Puyallup river has fallen
nearly eight feet since the high
mark Tuesday night, IL was re-
ported at the office of the inter
county river Improvement work.
The Couer de'Alene district in
Idaho reports improved condi-
lions, following the breaking of a
dam on Placer creek and the
washing away of homes in Wal
lace.
Residents we're compelled to
flee, two bridges were dynamited
and a few mining properties were
flooded.
The Willamette river is expect
ed to reach high stage at Portland
tonight. At upper river points,
the damage has been considerable.
The paper mills at Oregon City are
closed, and parts of Oregon City
and Salem are inundated.
Eastern traffic continues from
Portland, trains being subject to
station orders.
Rising of Washington streams
has seriously interfered with
numbering. Booms in the Cow
