First Socialist Speech Ever Made
Helena by a Woman.
Last night residents of Helena
were treated to a novel sight. For the
first time In the city of Helena a wo
man, Mrs. Ida B. Hazett, addressed a
crowd In the interests of the socialist
party, says the Helena Independent.
It was an open air meeting and was
held at the corner or Broadway ana
Main street.
Mrs. Hazett is a mannish appear
ing young woman, and standing upon
a cracker box, in a sharp clear voice
she told of the advantages of social
ism. She Is a good talker, too, and
made several hits. Probably tho
best one was when she said tho
packers had gotten tho business
down to such a fine point that they
were able to utilize every part of the
hog, even the squeal, which was re
corded on a phonographic record and
used as a rally at republican conven
tions. The first part of the Bpeoch soared

COST OF UMATILLA COUNTY WHEAT CROP
Questioned this morning hy tho
East Oregoniati, as to tho average
cost of raising a bushel of wheat In
Umatilla county, E. W. McComas,
local muungur for the Northwest
Warehouse Company, took tho aver
ago farm of 100 acres and a 25-bushel
yield for a starting point, and con
cluded that it Is 32 cents and 4 mills
Taking this figure for an average,
21 to 22 cents Is sometimes found as
the cost, where the farmer Is excep
tionally located as to richness' of
laud and contlguousuess to market,
and perhaps other more than usual
ly favorable circumstances intervene
to lessen the cost.
On the other hand, a frost, a local
dearth of rain, distance from mar
ket, or some other factor may inter
fere that the farmer cannot reap the
full benefit or average conditions,
and the cost of reproduction may
reach from 3D to 38 cents.
But on the average farm 10 miles
from market, the schedule of expense
may be considered to bo covered by
the following estimates of the cost
per acre the labor bolng practically
all hired:
Preparation of ground, $2; seed,
(one and a quarter bushels of grain
at CO cents per bushel) 7fc; harvest
ing with combine, $2.fi0; sacks, $;
hauling, $1.40; warehouse charges,
45c. Total, $8.10. Divided between
a yield of 25 bushels per acre, makes
tho expense to $1200. and tho vlehl
(at 25 bushels per acre) to 4000 husli-
eis. me avcrago cost being the same.
un me large ranches it would ap
pear, to judge tho subiect minerflc
lally, that the cost per bushel would
bo lighter, but Mr. McComas h Until.
tive that the average big rancher has
to pay almost exactly the same as the
sman farmer, because he must hire
all his labor, or practically all of It
The "natural" difference ought to
be about 15 per cent in favor of the
large rancher, hut It does not exist In
reality because or tho fact that ho
must hire very nearly all his work
uune.
Wheat raising is more profitable
man id years ago, for the reasons
that th,e yield is increasing percepti
bly and "year by year," with ovory
Indication of bearlnir out tin. t hfinrv
held by government experts that tho
soli of this wheat belt Is actually self
fertilizing that It tak.es cultivation
and tho prowluu of crona to dovolon
its strength.
Another reason for the crowinir of
wheat being more nrofitablo than
ever before hcre la that tho cost of
actual production is less' as more
wells nre dug, thus doing away with
the necessity of hauling water.
The third reason Is tho incrnnnnrl
efficiency of machinery. Almost evorv
year something is done which renders
