EirGHNE. Or.. Oct. 3. (Special.) Humphrey Memorial Methodist Episco
pal Church of Eugene has enjoyed a remarkable growth during the last two
yecrs. The records show that some 560 persons have entered with the

the revision of the membership roll, the net Increase In members haa been
ii per cent In the two years.
This church now has the distinction of str.ndir.g at the head of Oregon
Methodism in membership and benevo:ent giving. The condition of finances
for local church expenses, such as pas'or's salary, music, deaconess, etc., is
gratifying to the church, the giving to this phase of the work having ad
vanced 100 per cent In the two years.
The members are united and enthusiastic and. under the leadership of
Rev. D. H. Trimble, who has been reappointed to the work for the coming
year by Biehop Hughes, expect a year of large service In this strategic center.

LIVING IS HIGHER
Commodities in Washington
Advance 26 Per Cent.
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.)
William Grant, who died at his home
In this city Sunday, September 27, was
one of the few remaining pioneers of
Oregon who crossed the plains In 1844.
He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. David
Grant, and was born In Jackson Coun
ty, Missouri, July IS, 1841, coming to
Oregon with his parents three years
later.
The greater part of his life was spent
in Polk County, and he was Identified

tory of that locality. Elected County
Treasurer in 1864, he resigned bis of
fice, almost immediately and entered
the First Regiment of the Oregon Vol
unteers for service against the Indians.
He remained In the Army for nearly
two years, during which he was ele
vated to the rank of lieutenant.
Mr. Grant was a member of the G.
A. R., being past commander of Dallas
post. He was also affiliated with the
I. o. O. F. and several other secret

Oregon; Glen O. Grant, N. M. Grant,
Belden H. Grant, of Portland, and
Viola Estelle (Mrs. C. H. Lane, Jr.).
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.
The Supreme Court affirms judgment
for the plaintiff, upholding the ruling
that the bringing of a suit does not
constitute doing business within the
meaning of the law. Other decisions
handed down today Include these: Hat
tte Hilgar vs. City of Walla Walla, an
action to recover for the death of
plaintiffs husband, who was killed
by a cave-in In the excavation for a
pipe line for the Walla Walla city
water works; Judgment awarding dam
ages Is affirmed. William M. Cheath
