versity'' given by the Oak Grove high

cides to take short vacation in New

are incorrect and everything is cleared
up in the end to the satisfaction of the

MERCHANT EXPLAINS
ADVANCE OF PRICE
(By c. o. Huelat)

1t is a matter of common knowledge
that prices in all lines are higher than
they have been and are likely to be
higher; there are good reasons for
prices being higher on the staple lines
such as woollens, cotton goods, linens
and leather goods. First the supplyiin
these lines is very much below the de-
mand. Second, the cost of production
has been greatly increased. Third, all
dye stuffs and chemicals which are
necessary to the production and finish
ing of these goods are much higher
than formerly. There are other rea
sons, but these are the principal ones.
The first and main cause of these in
creased costs and lessening supply is
the great European war. Some ad-
vances would naturally come anyway,
but nothing like what prevails now.
When we think of the many millions
of men who are fighting and destroying
now, most of whom were before pro-
ducers and constructing, it is appalling
even to the casual observer. When we
realize that the armies of the Allies
alone use from 10 TO Is million pairs of
shoes each month at an average cost of
Sc pair we may have faint idea of
what the effect on leather might be.
When we are told that it takes Is
pounds of wool for the outfitting of
each man in all those great armies and
that these outfits have to be renewed
on an average of every two months we
can form vague notion of why the
price of wool il high. And so with
cotton and other lines. We cannot fully
comprehend it all, because the average
mind cannot grasp what millions and
hundreds of millions really mean. 1t
is altogether too stupendous and gi-
gantic for us. We can have some sort
of an idea and that's as far as we can
get.
Of all the great national producers
the United States is now the only one
in operation. We are supplying many
nations, other than those who are at
war, who have never bought from us
before. Our home consumption is
greater than it has ever been; our pro-
duction is less than normal.
With these facts before us, it be-
hooves us to consider them carefully
and govern ourselves accordingly. We
need not be undulv alarmed by the sit
uation, but we should be prepared and
make preparedness, or safety first, our
motto.

anticipates heavy immigration from
the middle west to northwestern points
within the next several years.
''The people of the section in which

been seeing pretty hard times the past
year. The suffered crop failure last
year and the past winter has been very
severe. Farmers have not been able

possible have been leaving for the
cities, where they are making huge
wages at munition factories. | have

get their pile they will go West"

FROM LONDON n PARIS BY RAIL
 SIX HOURS
(By Associated Pressl

LONDON, May 24. - Departure of a train from London to Paris every five or ten minutes travel between the two capitals by rail to occupy less than six hours, was the possibility held out by Sir Francis Fox, in an address recently delivered before the Royal Geographical Society. Sir Francis was describing the conditions under which it was proposed to build and operate tunnel under the English channel to connect England and France.
 Looking int othe future, he declared
 Looking into the future. he declared tunnel could be used to traverse France, Belgium, Holland, Spain Italy, Germany, Austria, Hungary and Fur key as far as Constantinople. It was by no means improbable. said Sir Francis, that within comparatively a few years travellers from London would be able to reach distant places like India and China through the me dium of the Channel tunnel.
 The tunnel would consist of two tubes, eighteen feet in diameter In the channel above the sea bed the maximum depth of water would be from 16O to 1S0 feet. It would be ne cessary, he said, to leave undisturbed such a cover of chalk over the roof of the tunnel as would guard against any hostile contingency. That protec- tion had been fixed at a minimum of 100 feet. The tunnel would be oper- ated, pumped and ventilated by cleo tricity supplied from a power station in Kent, ten miles inland.
 The tunnel would have a dip in the level of the rails, forming a water lock, by which it could, in case of emergency, be filled with water from roof to floor for one mile. This would be under control of Dover castle. and the entrance and exits would be under gun fire of the Dover forts.

MAKES MOUNTAIN OUT OF MOLE
 HILL

In highly sensational and greatly
 exaggerated article the Valdez Pros
 pectOr of Wednesday, publishes what
 are supposed to be the details of a | furious battle" at Mccarthy between the residents of that town and some | foreigners, in which one man was
 laid out from a blow with a stone one
 man slightly cut and a number more
 or less slightly bruised. While there
 was some mixup it was of a minor na-
 ture, and was not a riot, as reported. Under the caption of Regular Bat tie Rages for More Than Two Hours"
 the Prospector publishes the follow ing, and we reprint it simply to show how a story gathers momentum the further it travels away from home:
 As near as the details can be learn ed man by the name of Smith recent
 ly married a native or part native wo- ma nat Mccarthy. On Monday after noon Smith was at the railroad station as was also a big Montenegrin from the Bonanza mine. The Montenegrin made some sighting remark about Smiths "squaw," and they immediate ly mixed. The Montenegrin was about twice the size of Smith, and would likely have eaten him alive but for the timely arrival of the train. The train hn jumped off and pulled the Montenegrin away from his victim. This ended the battle for a time, but the Monte negrin, smarting from the rough hand ling received from the train crew. went back to the mine, gathered about fifty of his countrymen together and start ed out in the evening to clean up the
 town By the time they reached the outskirts their coming had been her aided and the men of the town had turned out en masse to give then vel come. The fight started immediately, and for two hours ragged through the streets of the little burg, first one side
 ana then the other gaining tempor- ary advantage. Apparently no guns were used, although the Montenegrins in one or two instances used their knives. Fists, clubs and stones were the principal weapons of offense, and through these agencies a number of the cOmbatants were placed hors de combat, but no serious injuries were apparently received by any of the war riors. Jim Hyland is reported to have
 been laid out by stone hurled by one of the Montenegrins, and Captain Hu- brick was slightly carved by a knife, his clothes, however, suffering more than his person.
 How the battle ended and with whom laid the victory the report states not, but it is asserted that the miners have resumed their usual oc- equations at the mine, and the towns people are following the customary vacations, the smoke of battle has cleared away and peace reigns.
