BIG CROPS CAUSE
DECLINE IN PRICES
Sugar, Potatoes and Ce-
reals Lead Price
Slump

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-Bumper
crops and reduced export demand,
are two main factors. in price de-
clines in the textile groups, and in
sharp price cuts now spreading thru
the food list, according to latest re-
ports to the federal reserve board
from the reserve agents today.
+ Sugar, potatoes, coffee and all
cereals, except corn are leading the
price slump in the food group. Slight
declines in, live stock prices and
meats as a whole. are noted by the
reports with very material reductions
in sheep and mutton prices.
In foods, as we'll as clothing and
other groups, the law of supply and
demand is beginning to operate with
force, and it is reflected by lower
quotations IN numerous commodities
offered for sale by stores thruout the
United States.
Cotton fabrics of all kinds will re-
suit, the board is informed, because
of certain factors disturbing to the
cotton trade. The chief factors
working for big slump in cotton
goods prices are diminished export
demand, larger, though inferior,
crop and late season.

treme southwest corner Of the park
and will cover about eight thousand
acres In a swampy section of country
containing probably one hundred
thousand acres, and about thirty-fiye
miles from any trail or road; conse-
quently it is not visited by tourists
The construction of this reservoir
need not in any way injure the park
or detract from its scenic beauty; nor
would the moose, If there are any In
that section, be disturbed to any APP
preciable extent, in view of the great
section of country over which they
can roam undisturbed.
Even should the passage Of this
bill pave the way to the future re-
quest to use the food waters OF Vel
lowstone Lake for irrigation purposes
as so ardently feared by George Bird
Grinnell, the writer fails to see that
this need detract from the virgin
beauty of the park or to damage
either the lake or the park in any
way. All the construction needed is
an artistic concrete bridge, with gates
not over eight feet high secreted be-
meath. Not one tourist in thousand
would ever know but what it was a
handsome bridge, and for no other
purpose. Water of tremendous value
in food production could thus be
stored without raising the lake above
its natural annual full tide. This
water now wastes down the Missouri
and Mississippi valley rivers, aug
menting the devastating Mississippi
valley floods. In place where tour
lists seldom, if ever go, the waters
could be let out when needed below
for irrigation purposes. This plan,
which appears to be Mr.. Grinnell's
chief cause for alarm, and his only
reason for opposing the Fall River
bill now in congress, is only tenta-
tive plan.
The intent of the bill in congress,
and the intent of the settlers on. the
Snake River, who want the Fall River
water now going to waste, is along
constructive, not destructive lines.
The writer knows the Yellowstone
park, and can not help but feel that
if our eastern nature-lovers under
stood the situation fully there would
be no alarm felt over the despoiling
of our splendid park.
We of the real west are trying to
develop our country along clean, pro-
gressive lines, and only ask that we
be allowed the same opportunity our
eastern brother has. There are no
destruction and no profaning, and no
harm will be done to Yellowstone Ma
tional park If the bill passes con-
gress. On the contrary, the waters
now going to waste will help build an
empire of happy, hard working Amer
leans who would solve life's problems
in peace and prosperity, so created,
by being allowed to use for crops
water now going to waste.

AMERICAN MOTOR CARS
ARE POPULAR WITH EUROPE

(By International News Service)
PARIS.-Laying the rarity for or
ders given French automobile con-
structors for gears Sat the door of
American manufacturer Baron Pc
tiet, president of the union of French
automobile constructors; asks that
the Importation of foreign cars land
particularly American cars" be for
hidden. Baron Petiet says that such
little work is at present being done
in French factories that it is possible
that during the winter some impor-
tant constructors will have to close
their works. Some 100000 French
men are employed in the automobile
industry in France.
Since the war there has been a
great rush on American cars, either
new or old army ones. French peo-
pie consider them much more hand
some, more silent, better built and
more easily handled than French
cars. The army cars also had the
advantage of being much cheaper
than any secondhand French car and
OF being in better condition.

MAJOR REED TELLS OF PROPOSED PARK
STORAGE PROJECT In LITERARY DIGEST

People of Idaho, particularly OF
this section will be interested in an
article, which is taken from the Lii
terary Digest of October 23rd. This
article was written BY Fred r. Reed,
secretary-manager of the Idaho Re-
clamation association, with offices
in Pocatello and was reprinted from
the Idaho Statesman by the Literary
Digest. The article Is in. regard to
the fight which is being waged by
certain eastern interests against the
bills of Addison T. Smith and SEN
ator Nugent, regarding the Fall river
development. The fight against the
bill is made on the grounds that it
tends to ruin Yellowstone National
park. Mr.. Reed says: r. ",
The writer has been pioneering in
the Rocky Mountain states for forty
1.-two years. He has lived to see the
railroads, telephones and all the tri-
umphs of electricity come into the
hitherto manless west. The pioneers
are rapidly. passing: the overland
stagecoach, the cowboy, the Indian,
are all fading into the past, and the
bad man" is transferred to the east.
We of the west love our scenery
and protect the same always. The
westerner worships at the Creators
masterpieces, and we love our lakes,
our mountains, and waterfalls as part
of ourselves.
Recently we read in an eastern
magazine regarding the eventual
ravishing Yellowstone Lake, in yell
lowstone National park, by the pro-
posed passage of bill by congress,
known as the Fall River bill, asking
the right to store and conserve water
in Yellowstone park to irrigate tens
of thousands of acres of desert in the
Snake River basin of Idaho.
The bill has called forth number
of very strong protests from our east
ern friends, and from the standpoint
of the uninitiated they are right. If
any plan were in contemplation to
drain Yellowstone Lake, or to des-
troy any part of the park, its land or
water, we of the west would protest
vigorously. However, such is not the
case, and no damage of any kind is
incorporated in the plans of the peo-
pie who want to use the Fall River
waters to make homes and crops for
themselves end their families.
No formal application has been
made to the secretary of the interior
or to congress for the damming of the
Yellowstone Lake. This is simply a
tentative proposition, while the Fall
River Basin project has been form
ally presented to the secretary of
the interior, maps filed, and bill
introduced in each branch of con-
gross, and already passed by the sem
ate enabling the secretary of the in
terror to grant a right of way for
the storage of water.

FRENCH PRESIDENT; ANiERI-
CAN WORKING MAN

Speaking Of living conditions in
America and abroad, speaking of the
American standard Of living being
above that Of foreign countries, here
is an example. =
The president of France is just
catching up with the American work
ing man in certain home conditions.
The government of France has just
had bath tub installed in the resi-
dence of President Millerand with
plumbing connections to give hot
and cold water. ~
Heretofore they used an old fash
toned metal bath tub and the water
was carried in and poured into 1t by
the valet, using old fashioned
pitchers.
The valet did not cost much so
they did not take the trouble to hire
a plumber to put in the pipes and to
connect it with the heating plant.
1t required skill and skilled labor
to put in the fine modern bath tub
and the plumbing. 1t required only
time and patience and the labor Of
low salaried persons to supply the
water under the old system.
Now the president of France liv-
ing at the great city of Paris can
have as good bath and as good
bathing accommodations as the
american working man.
By the way, only half century
ago it was a misdemeanor in several
eastern cities to take a bath in a
bath tub during the winter season,
but they could not catch them at it
SO nobody was ever prosecuted under
the ordinances and they were finally
repealad

Fred Wilson Of Rome, N. Y, has
a hen that goes out nights. A few eve

to see one of his white Wyand0tte
hens picking around on his lawn,

He watched closely and saw her pull

the ground at night.
After she filed her crop she wad-

she comes out every night.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. disputes
among the boys at the Webster
school here, where children of %

teacher. Instead, the principal, Miss

Claims 1t Is Best Way
Letting the boys fight out their
troubles is the best way in. school

Hogge. "Of course, the fights must
be fair.

Abe got, is usually the limit. Abe

CONTRIBUTED

Viewed from one angle the
electric utility companies might be
considered as privately owned, but
actually they are publicly owned in
the sense that hundreds of thousands
of citizens hold their securities and
look to them for both service and
income" says Floyd w. Parsons in
"Everybodys Business" in a recent
issue of the Saturday Evening Post.
Frequently in litigations against
electric light and power and other
utilities, the term Capitalists" is
used in a manner intended to indi-
cate that these utilities are owned,
body and soul, by the "big-money"
interests of the country. If Mr.. Par
sons information is correct, it is very
apparent that the public has been
misled in this particular, at least
to considerable degree, as he
states that in excess of 100000
citizens of the United States own
securities Of the electric Light and
power industry. In addition to this
vast number of securities holders.
Mr.. Parsons points out that each per-
son who is beneficiary under any
one Of the flfty-odd million life in
surance policies now in force in the
United States If financially interested
in the utilities thru the fact that ap-
proximately one-third of the total
assets of American life insurance
companies, which are estimated to be
approximately seven billions of dol
lars are invested in a public utility
stock and bonds, and that the
twenty-seven million depositors in
American banks financially are in
terested thru the fact that hundreds
of millions of dollars of assets of
those banks are loaned on electrical
utilities securities.
Thus it would seem that a con-
siderable number of the citizens of
the United States are directly or in
directly financially interested in the
electric light and power industry and
in other public utilities and that leg
islation or ADVERSE action affecting
these utilities affects directly the
pocketbooks of these millions who
have loaned their money to the util-
tiles development purposes.
Heretofore. these facts have not
been generally known, we assume
largely because the public has been
too ready to believe the insinuation,
and often the direct charge, that only
big business" had a financial in
terest IN our utilities.
