No Rain Since 1918.

Nick Taitinger, who has ex-
tensive farming interests near
Claresholm, Alberta, writes
Athena friends that his crops
this season are a total failure.
He describes conditions in the
North country as being extrem-
ely hard on live stock, for it is
impossible to get forage only
by shipping it in by railway.
Not a drop of rain has fallen in
his locality since May, 1918.

ST PAUL SKIS IN DEMAND
Record Performxnees Have Been
Made on Articles Produced IN
the MInneoe&A City.

st. Paul-made skis hold the mark
for the longest jump in the world,
that set BY Henry Hall at Steam
boat Springs, Colo, when he made
2O3 feet and remained standing al
the finish of the slide.
At the national ski tournament
in Chicago last year the champion
ships in the professional, amateur
and boys classes al were won on st.
Paul-made skis.
The st. Paul product is sold
from Maine to Los Angeles-yes,
they sell them in Los Angeles for
use in the mountains-and quanti-
ties 20 to Alaska and northern Can
ada.
Aside from the sport, skis are
being used more generally than
ever by ranchsrs, stockmen and for
est rangers, and by western tele-
phone and telegraph repair men.
Minnesota farmers, for example,
find them an excellent thing to use
when the roads are impossible, in
going to the various feeding sheds
on their farms in winter.
st. PauPs ski factory turns out
more skis than any other factory in
the world. Toboggans also are
made there in large numbers.
The city's output of skis for 1918
was $4,000 pairs, and of toboggans
10000. The volume of business
was 100000.

There are many things most every
community can do to better its con
dition, and it is the real function of a
commercial club-or such other organi-
cation as this name imples-to single
out the most needed and desirable of
these things and DO them. Nezperce
has been largely instrumental in bring
ing about the success of various war
activities in Lewis county, and permit
ted local advancement. to languish
somewhat on this account; but NOW
that the greater issues are fairly set
tied, it is up to us to begin where, we
left off, recover what is to be recover
ed and 60 on as live community. The
biggest thing for immediate attention,
in The Herald's judgment, is the i'm
provement of the community roads. Of
course this is an obvious necessity !;
vet it will not be done Of itself 1t
is the business of the Commercial Club
to do it. Then the provision of suit
able ball and sports park might be con-
sidered next in order-a play ground
so located that it would be of real use
to the town, not only for ball games

HOP sTATIsTIcs.

The exports Of domestic hops
reached as high figure as 24,300,-
300 pounds in 1914, and in 1918
The quantity fell to 100000
pounds. Imported hops ranged
from 100000 to 100000 pounds
from 1908 to 1914, and they rose
10 the extraordinary quantity Of
100000 pounds in 1915, fol-
lowed by almost complete cessation
If imports.
The price received for hops by
producers in this country has been
highly variable in = series of many
years, and often from year to year.
The December average was III
cents per pound for 1915, IL cents
Tor 1916, 1873 cents for 1917, and
1915 cents for 1918, q year with
production about two-ffths of what
it was in 1915 and 1916.

MORE LIGHT ON HIGH PRICES.


Never again will prices or wages
reach the before the war level This
is the opinion of Professor H. T. Lew
is, head of the economics department
Of the University of Idaho. Professor
Lewis said:
.''Altho prices will fall from the
present level in almost every case, this
fall will not be rapid enough to be
noticed by the consumer. The share
labor will get from the national in
come will be proportionately larger
than ever before.
In his analysis of the high cost OF
living problem, Professor Lewis has
emphasized the following facts:
"The general public is mistaken il
its feeling that prices will fall immed
lately after the signing of peace althe
there are many factors in the situa
ton that would lead to this conclusion
We have every prospect for producing
the largest wheat and corn crop the
United States has ever had. The meat
packing houses have enormous holdings
of meat and meat products in cold
storage.
Large stocks Of goods of every
description which were being held for
war use overseas will not be needed as
rehabilitation becomes fact. The
government purchases will fall off
England has already cancelled all her
meat orders Finally, the men return
ing from overseas service will material
ly increase the supply of produce.
"There are many forces which will
tend to keep prices up. The cost of
transportation is still high. Ocean
rates have dropped slightly. Railroad
rates continue the same. A new tax
levied by the government on almost
every conceivable luxury went into
effect May 1.
"The uncertainty of European sup
plies will tend to keep prices up. Fin
ally, the government price fixing pol
icy, adopted as pre-war measure is
being continued in peace times. This
policy holds that it is unwise to de
moralize industry by sudden shifting
of prices The government believes
that it is unfair to compel producers
to sell at loss goods that they pro
duced at the request of the govern
ment.''
Professor Lewis believes that the
consumer will not notice this change
at once. Retail prices change much
more slowly than wholesale prices. Pro
ducers are making every effort to keep
prices up.
Altho wages will fall somewhat, Pro-
fessor Lewis believes that they will be
readjusted to meet the needs of labor.
This is result of growing recogni-
ton on the part of the employer thet
wages must not be reduced while
prices are high.
Labor has gained advantages during
the war that it never had before. 1t
is now in position to enforce de-
mands that it could not have made two
years ago. Employers are beginning
to recognize that laborer and employer
were not on the right terms before the
war and there seems to be tendency
on the part of both to make conditions
right.
