Alaska promises to become a rec
ognized factor in the herring packing
industry. An appropriation of $25-
600 has been included in the sundry
civil bin. for the purpose of making
a thorough inspection and supervision
and the interest, which developed
during the war, bids fair to add an
other important adjunct to the pro-
ductive resources Of the Far North.

MARKET AT SPOKANE.

REIMBURSEMENT of prices from war
level to a peace level has become
governing factor in all branches of
American industry. New business is
being considered with the idea of safe
guarding itself against further price
recession. This caution has led nat.
urally to the adoption of a well de-
fined policy of hand-to-mouth buying,
so as to avoid the losses which might
accompany a period of violent trade
reimbursement The reduction in price
of copper and other commodities is
in natural response to these rapidly
changing economic conditions. All
wartime restrictions are being aban-
doned. Nevertheless it is felt there
can be no radical reductions in prices
of staple commodities as long as
wages hold up and labor seems in
clined to concede nothing on this point
without a struggle. The result is that
the level of both wages and prices is
likely to depend largely upon condi-
lions of employment or unemploy-
ment.
Investigations by various agencies
show that the ranks of idle workers
are enlarging materially. This is nat
ural in view of the. shutting down of
munitions plants and the return of a
vast number of men from the govern
ment service. A recent canvass
showed that nearly 40 per cent of the
large cities. whose experience was con
tributed have a surplus of labor to
provide for. But the best brains OF
the country is giving thoughtful at
tention to this problem and, among
other things. large public works are
being undertaken which may largely
absorb the surplus labor.
In. this section interest centers in
the coming wheat crop. Our winter
acreage is practically double this year
what it was last and there is an un
usually good start of winter wheat
We have had ample moisture during
the fall and the prospects are better
than any time in the last three years

PRICES MARKED


In every Occur d'Alene bedroom is
framed card on which is printed the
rates of the room. In other words, the
Occur Alene Hotel marks their SELL
ing prices in plain figures. The patron
knows what his bill will be; he knows
that he is not being oVercharged
through a misunderstanding or
the clerk She knows that he is pay
ing just what every other occupant
of that room pays-no more. no less
That's the standard American prac-
tice in first-class retail stores; some
day 1t will doubtless be standard prac-
tice in the best hotels.
That framed card is a small detail,
but it illustrates the Occur d'Alene
way of doing things. It's one of the
many concrete applications of the
Occur d'Alene policy of fairness; and
full and honest moneys worth, to
every patron whatever kind or price

The map OF Europe was being re-
made as the year 1918 came to close.
The Czecho-Slovak republic was al
ready in existence before the close of
the war having been recognized as an
independent belligerent government by
the United States, Great Britain.
France and Italy, but the coming of
peace saw the formal establishment of
this new government at Prague. The
end OF the war also practically assured
the rising Of great new Poland, made
up of most, if not ALL of the territory
divided up years ago among Germany,
Austria and Russia. Finland, threw
off the shackles placed upon her By
Russia and out Of the turmoil of civil
war emerged as a free and independent
nation. The peoples Of other smaller
subject states asserted their independ-
ence.
Civil, war continued to threaten the
new republic of China throughout the
year. Hsu Shih Chang was elected
president OF the republic on Septem
beg 6 and during the next few months
reports indicated a possibility Of an
agreement being reached between the
northern and southern sections Of the
country.
Peru and Chile were reported on the
brink Of war during the closing weeks

LABOR AND INDUSTRY

Labor unrest, resulting in many
strikes, threatened to seriously ham,
per the governments war preparations
early in the year but through spirit
Of cooperation shown by both labor
and capital the danger was averted and
there was little labor trouble during
the greater part of the year.
During the early days of the year
disaffection appeared among the work
ers in the shipyards and by February
IL the situation had assumed a serious
aspect with strikes In effect In Ave
yards. BY February Is the strike had
spread still further In spite of an adj
vance in wages announced by the la
Dor adjustment board.
On February IL, President Wilson,
in a letter to William L. Hutcheson.
head of the United Brotherhood of Car
penters and Joiners, concerning the
ship carpenters strike, denied the right
OF labor to strike at that critical juno
tura. "Will you cooperate or will you
obstruct?" the president asked. The
Workmen responded to the presidents
appeal and the strike was declared off.
At the same time Secretary Of Labor
Wilson announced the personnel of a
national board of labor, to be COM
posed of representatives of both labor
and capital On February "a this board
opened conference for the purpose of
establishing basis for the settlement
of disputes during the war. Former
President William Fl. Taft, chosen by
the employers, and Frank p Walsh,
selected by the labor organizations, al
ternated as chairman. This confer
ence, on March 90. reached an agree
ment providing that all labor disputes
arising during the war should be SUBJ
mitted to d board Of mediation. This
