DESCHUTES PEOPLE OBJECT OPPOSE SCHEME TO Tl'RX WAL DO LAKE WATER TO WEST, Southern Pacific Company Proposes to Divert Outlet. to Generate Electric Power. KAT.irAr Or Oct. 3. (SneciaL) The Deschutes Irrigation & Power Com pany Is very much disturbed by the scheme of the Southern Pacific Com pany to turn the waters of Waldo Lake Into the Willamette River for the pur- - j..innl. a -a-ater nower.

OREGON PIONEER OF 1848. CORVALLIS, Or., Oct- S. (Spe cial.) Mrs. S. L. Shedd died at her home in Corvallis, October 2. Precious Starr was born In Ohio. February 23. 1832, and moved with -her father's family to Iowa In 1839. She received her edu cation' In a pioneer log school house. In 1S48 . she made the memorable trip across the plains by oxteam, starting April 1! and arriving over the old Barlow trail. They came by Fort Hall and Laramie, landing In Oregon September 23. being among the first Immigrants to reach Oregon 5 after the Cayuse war. They lo " cated near Bellfountaln. Benton . County.

FIGURES ON FOODSTUFFS As Compared With 1900, 41 of 68 Articles Considered Show Ad vance Labor Does Xot Show Proportional Increase. OLYMPIA. Wash.. Oct. 3. (Special.) In preparing the forthcoming bien nial report-of the State Bureau of La bor, Commissioner C. F. Hubbard has completed an investigation Into the cost of living in Washington, the results of which tend to show that pi ices of ordi nary household commodities have been higher during the paet year than ever before. In making this investigation. the year 1900 was made the starting point, and the conclusions are based on the wholesale prices of a list of 68 arti cles, all of which are In every-day use. Wholesale prices were taken rather than those of retail dealers for the rea son that accurate records of the former are available, and moreover, wholesale prices are not subject to artificial fluc tuations, arising from local causes. As compared with the prices for the year 1900. 41 of the 68 aitlcles consid ered show an average increase of 26 per cent for 1908. Included In this list are the following: Cove oysters, canned cherries, canned raspberries, canned as paragus, canned tomatoer. coffee, evap orated cream, dried apples, apricots, cunants. peaches, pears, plums, oat meal crackers, wheat, flour, first and second grades; oatmeal, cornmeal, gra ham flour, rye flour, honey, rice, table salt, granulated sugar, molasses, eggs, butter, cheese, lard, ham, bacon, mut ton, dressed hogs, chickens, turkeys, Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes, cabbage, beans and canned salmon. All of the foiegolng list have ad vanced on the average 26 per cent over the price as quoted In 1900. Some of them, however, have undergone a much greater Increase, and it is worthy of note that the highest increases are con fined largely to such articlee as may be termed absolute necessities. To bring this out In somewhat more concrete form. It may be said that in 1900 a bar rel of first-grade wheat flour cost at wholesale. 33.25; In 1908 the price Is 35.15. Second grade flour In 1900 waa worth $2.95; the 1S08 price is 34.65. A ten-pound sack of cornmeal In 1900 was worth 16 cents; la 1908 the price is 24 cents. In 1900 rice brought 4 1-2 cents per pound; the price In 1908 Is 6 3-4 cents. Other advances per cent of like character might be cited, all of them tending to indicate an unceasing up ward tendency In nearly all Important food commodities. On the other hand reports which the Labor Commissioner has been gather ing covering the matter of wages do not indicate anything like a similar ad vance to make up for the increased cost .of living expenses. .. It is true that most lines of skilled labor have se cured advances since the year 1900, but very few of these advances have been secured during the past two years. In fact, there have been some decreases during the past year and the number of Idle men has practically doubled, due In large part to the financial panic which, however, did not seem to Influ ence the prices of food products. Rents of houses have also stiffened up and appear to show no signs of weakening. CAME TO OREGON IN 1844 William Grant, or Dallas, Served With First Oregon Volunteers. DALLAS. Or.. Oct. 3. (Special.)

FOREIGN FIRMS MAY SUE Can Bring Suit Without Taking Out Business License. OLYMPIA. Wash., Oct. 3. (Special.) That foreign corporations may bring suit without paying the fee entitling them to do business within the state is held valid by the Supreme Court In the case of Lilly Brackett Company verjus A. H. Sonnemann, of Spokane. The plaintiff, a foreign 'corporation, brought suit on a Massachusetts judg ment. The defenuant set up that the plaintiff corporation had not been ad mitted to business In this state and was therefore without authority to sue.
