Wheat Cheapest Food.
Food prices today of bread, wheat
bread, the staff Of life, is the cheapest
human food Of any Importance which
can be bought. Statistics show that
the cost of maintaining family with
three children for one year in the
United States is at an average of
about $1,44O. Yet we find the cost
of food products to maintain this fam
lily from the wheat which maintains
the greatest part of his life and used
in some degree at every meal to cost
less than 500 per family. This being
true where is the seriousness if, as
Mr. Dale contends, the price Of food
products might be advanced.
!" am told by gentleman of this
city who maintains family consider
ably above the average and the method
of living at least as far as living goes,
that keeping careful account of the
expenses of flour, wheat flour with all
its attending products, to be less than
seven per cent of his home life costs.
The farmer was the first to make
a Dreak IN the nlgn cost or prices,
after the war, accepting the lower
prices in view of the promise and
hope and expectation that all other
products would follow down in price.
This result unfortunately did not fol-
low. The farmer was forced to either
accept lower scale of living or cut
out purchasing entirely. This to a
great extent he did, upsettfng the

But this railroad, 80 miles in

which marked the transition stage of

era. The vast volume of wheat which
passed over the Baker railroad at

EARLY IDAHO HISTORY.
(By Hon. A. F. Parker.)


Forty-six years ago, when | first
landed in Idaho, the whole of this
country known as the Inland Empire
vast in area and rich in every natural
resource, was only scantily settled
The means of travel and transporta-
ton were limited and totally made
'quate. Communication was difficult
and slow in summer, while in the win
ter time we were subjected to block
ade, always for weeks, and sometimes
for months. The Walla Walla valley
was the only permanent settlement in
the great interior Columbia water
shed. Outside of this garden spot the
only inhabitants were a few pioneer
stock raisers, and prospectors on the
out posts of civilization, who laid the
foundations of the Inland Empire in
the discovery of the interior mining
camps, and later by demonstrating
the fartility of our bunch grass lands
and their suitability for agricultural
purposes.
In those days the only railroads in
the entire Pacific Northwest were
portages around The Dalles and the
Cascades of the Columbia river.
There was also a railroad running
north from Kalama to Tacoma. The
railroad from Portland south, to tap
the Willamette valley, was being con-
5tructed by a Scotch syndicate. Trans
portation from Portland to Wallula
was by steamboats,, owned by the Ore
gon Steam Navigation company, and
by stage lines from Portland to Win
nemucca, by way of Pendleton, Baker,
and Boise.
Rawhide Railroad.
AS time progressed and the dormant
resources of the interior were parti-
ally developed and its great possibili-
ties began to loom, the Walla Walla
and Columbia River railroad running
from Wal1a Walla to Wallula, was
built by D. Dorsey s. Baker, of Wa1la
Walla. This railroad was variously
known by humorists as the "rawhide
the strap-iron railroad"
and the " two streaks Of iron rust and |

corn. one-fourth of the wheat, so per
cent of the cotton, and manufacturing
IS per cent of the automobiles OF the
world and yet with all OF this we
find ourselves struggling to meet the
daily requirements of business and
the question is how best to bring
around something that will stabilize
markets and products and bring about
general prosperity to the greatest
number of people with the least injury
and in the quickest way.
Cannot Stimulate Production.
Wheat is subject to all of the
freakish actions of the weather, the
elements over which we have no con-
troll, exposed to the heat and the
cold and the moisture and these ac-
lions of the elements over a period
and I believe we only have to look
to the future as compared to the past
to answer this question, that over
production will not follow, and that
you cannot stimulate wheat produc-
ton over period of years excepting
very slightly.
And to the other question that
other countries would sell to us on
account of an increase in price. Our
government has by their votes and
have registered by their voice the pol
icy of so called protective tariff and
instead of 80 cent tariff as we have
now, which is only handed out to us
as a sop or delusion. Raise this tar
if to so, go, or rs cents bushel, If
you please. 1t costs none of Us a
thing"
