OF HINDU WOMEN
 PROVIDED FUR
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Jan. 8.-(COrrespOndenCeI of the Associated Press )-One of the greatest charitable gifts in the history of India has just been announced at Delhi. The Maharaj Kumar of Tikari, one of the wealthy native princes, has executed a deed of trust devOting his entire personal estate to founding an institution for the education of Indian women. The property concerned is| valued at about $7,000,OO0. In view of the much greater purchasing power of money in India, it is believed that the gift will accomplish as much propor- tionately as a gift of nearly ten times the size in England or America.
 Dependent members of the maha. raj's family already have been pro, vided for by separate funds, and all liabilities of the state are duly secured. The scheme is for a strictly "purdah" residential institution, where the girls will be trained and educated on the SSob hiONClh H Di IiNApACo llOlil IllC CiSC Of : until they are 18 There will be no question of caste or creed.
 The gift owes it's inspiration largely to the maharajs wife, who has been one of the foremost native women in the crusade for the improvement of the lot of Indian women. The maharaj himself was one of the first native princes to fight in France, and he has spent more than two years on the bat tlefield. He was brought up by English tutors in India, and has been a great traveller.
 The maharaj's wife, in a letter de- scribing the gift, says:

BRITISH LABOR SITUATION
 IS NUT SATISFACTORY
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Feb. 1.-The fourth year or war has been remarkable for the sustained activity of trade, the contin- uous and cumulative increases in wages and the ferment in the engin- eerlng and intuition industries, says the Daily Telegraph.
 During the past twelve months wage increases to workingmen exceeded 3lOO,OO0,000 and the increases during the three years 1915-16-17, together with the rise In prices of commodities, have completely revolutionized the pre-war economic basis of British trade
 The unpleasant feature of the year has been the growing discomfort and unrest prevailing large sections of tho workers and this is seen in the num- Der of industrial disputes, often of the most trivial kind Official returns from January to November indicate there were 494 disputes during those months affecting 647,724 workers and causing the loss of over 3,5OO,OOO work ing days, the greatest loss of time be- ing recorded during September, OC- tober and November.
 The number of persons unemployed lis the lowest on record, and through out the war period the figure has steadily declined till it is now below one per cent.

CASE OF "DO UNTO OTHERS"
Grandma's Sizing Up Of the Situation
Showed Pretty Good Judgment
of Human Nature.

The wise man Solomon remarked
long time ago that if a man is to have
friends, he must show himself friend

man is himself a good neighbor, he

On this point we recently ran across
an interesting farm story, fresh from
the prairies of the West The moral
is one that cannot be too often empha-
sized; and this is the story as the
American Cooperative Journal gives
it:
They tell Of an old grandma who
was sitting in front of her home, knit

that the dyer was negligent and careless
and didn I understand his business, ac.

Judge Webster in the case Of P. A
Schillng against the Standard Cleaners
The suit was brought in the justice
of the peace couri by Mrs. Schilling

January. The case was brought to trial
about two weeks ago and today the de,

in favor of the defendants Mrs. Schill-

Judge Webster holds tha. a eleaner

carelesSness, negligence or want of at
tention.
The Standard Cleaners claimed they
used the usual methods for cleaning
and that tihey had had twelve years of
experisnce and that it was the goods
and not their method of treating that
caused the dress to shrink.

Special Rates Are
Asked by Commission

The public service commission
through Commissioner Corey has made
application 10 Secretary McAdoo in his
character of Director General of Rail
roads for rates on ores from Grant
county that will place them on equal
terms with similar ores in Union coun-
ty. Grant county has one of the largest
deposib of chrome ore in the United
States but it is of low grade averag
ing about "a per cent. This ore is in
great demand by the government and
as the government now controls the
railroads its attention is called to This
sourea of supply. 1t costs $3.50 per ton
10 haul the ore from the mines to the
Sumpter Valley railroad, a narrow
gauge, and its charge for hauling the
ore to Baker is $780, to which is added
a charge of 20 cents a ton for trans
fer, The O. W. R. & N. publishes rates
from Joseph, located on branch line
"a miles from La Grande, to eastern
points the same as from Baker. 1t is
asked that it do the same thing with
regard to the ores from Grant county
To DO this would require that the main
lines absorb the charges made in get
ting the ores to Baker, which amount
$7.1j a ton. AS it is the ores of Grant
county are Disseminated against in this
sum by the o. W. r. & N Chrome ores
are essential in the manufae.h lure of ar
NOR plate, projectiles and many other
things needed in conducting the war
and all sources of supply are being
drawn on to meet the demand.

Pnme Crop Outlook
In Valley Promising

Tho prune prospects in this part Of
the valley are fairly favorable, ae.
eording to the opinion of the Drager
Fruit Co. There is only one drawback,
and that is that the ground has not
been cultivated as many farmers have
grown yetch between the trees, and
with a dry season, this would cause the
dropping Of the fruit. Mr.. Drager is
inclined to think that the growing OF
vetch with prunes is somewhat risky
although it may turn out all right
should the season be a rainy one.
Mr.. Drager predicts light cherry
crop on account of the cold weather in
early April. Loganberrics he found in
fine condition in the low grounds,
while in the higher grounds, the condi-
fions arc about the same as one year
ago.
