WHAT IT COST TO LIVE
The U. 8. Treasury Depart
ment on March 1, 1905 Bent the
Observer its monthly circula
tion statement . showiag the
amount of money and the
population of in the U S on that
date. It gave the population,
excluding our insular possession
at 82,794,000. This startes
the inquiry as to the oost of
the material consumed in pro
viding an average living for all
pep!s. TO amswer ibis
question reference is here made
to a total on pages 2,651 and 2
in the January number, 1906, of
the commerce and finance just
issued by the Bureau of Statis
tics which gives the cost of all
the ai tides that are consumed
per capita in the United States
for living.
This total gives the prices
proportioned to consumption in
tbe United States on Feb. I,
1905 as follows: for bread stuff
$18,082, for meats $8,031. for
dairy and garden stuff $13,650,
for other food $10,816, for
clothing $16,887, ; for metals
used $16,170, $17, for miscellan-
eous articles $17.40 making the
total cost of all the material
used for a livine amount tn
$101,042 per annum. -
The same table gives the cost
of living per capita in 1860 as
follows. For bread stuffs $23.
652, for meats $10,084, for
dairy and garden stuff $14,169,
for other food 8.978, for cloth
ing $22,094, for metal used $26.
082, for miscellaneous articles
$16,672, making the total cost of
living in 1860 foot up $121,631.
These figures "how that the ma-
tenal oonsumed per capita for
living cost $20,539, more iu I860
in the United States than in
1905
To pay for the material con
sumed for one year by the 82,
794,000 of people now in the
U S at the figures given out by
the Bureau of Statistics as the
cost of living for 1905 will re
quire $10,070,343,014.
If it cost as much now to pay
for the material consumed per
capita as it did in 1860 the
amount would have to be in
creased by $1,704,346,566.

NEW YORK JOURNAL W

Metropolitan Antonius has
issued a remarkable pastoral
address concerning the Russia
of today, in which he assigns
frivolity,' dissipation and im
piety as the cause ef the humi
liation of the.nation, and preacb
ing repentence and the fear of
God.
"It is not the first time," the
pastoral says, "tb at on holy
Russia has fallen dire misfor
tunes; but then Russia was a
wholly different country, strong
in the love of holy religion and
impregnable in devotion to tbe
emperor and the fatherland.
Now while carrying on a great
war, instead of congregating in
a spirit of high and self deny
ing patriotism, internal disen
sion reigns in the land, every
thing is overthrown, science is
neglected and what is holy is
tramped upon. With right we
are despised by all, mocked at
by all the people of the earth.
Awake, then, holy orthodox
Russia; fear God; cLanee thyself
from the stain of the foulness of
thy sins; repent, enlighten thy
self, and God will give thee
grace."
Have you selected that book
you intend to donate to tbe pri
Bon library.
Contractoi Geo. Kreiger, who
is always a close observer, states
that this is going to be a ban
ner building year in La Grande
and that he expects to burn
many thousand more brick this
year than he did last season.
A hospital has just been open
ed in Heppner. La Grande is
among the very best openings
on the coast for such an under
takiug. Where is there anoth
er city of 5000 people without a
hospital. We are growing and
we will be very much surprised
to see the present year pass
away without such an instutu-
tion here.
