AN OBJECT LESSON.
A dispatch from Minneapolis dated
September 1st says:
Tiiere is to be a marked advance
in the price of white pine lumber as
a result of the advance in agricul
tural products. The list committee
of the Mississippi Lumbermen's Asso
ciation met today to agree on ao ad
vance to take effect next week.
It Is quite proper that the lumber
men should should share in the gen
eral prosperity, and we re-print the
above only to call attention to the
face that the association controls the
price, and says to the consumer:
"After next week the price of lumber
will he advanced so much per thous
and." The association also controls
the price it will pay its employes for
their labor, but we failed to see any
thing in the dispatch saying that at
the date named the wages of the as
sociation employes would be ad
vanced a given per cent. This is a
part of the proceedings that will not
be in print because that part will not
occur, and yet labor is entitled to
share in the general prosperity also.
"When labor gets together, as the as
sociation did, and says after such a
date our products shall bring such a
price, that is a strike.
We do not believe in strikes, but
we do believe that the toiler should
have his share of high prices, just as
he is forced to take his moiety of low
prices.
ENGLAND'S AFGHAN TROUBLE
Theie have been three British
wars with Afghanistan during the
.Victorian sixty years, and the news
from the Khyber Pass seems ominous
of another.
One of the earliest military trage
dies of the queen's reign was the
appalling massacre of McNaghten's
command m one of tbe passes lead
ing southward from Cabul into In
dia. Over 1G,000 men, women and
children, retreating from the Afghan
capital under pledges of a peaceful
journey to India, were overtaken in
the pass by the ferocious tribesmen
and massacred within a fev hours.
One man only survived the slaughter,
and he, badly wounded, crawled
slowly on to Jellalabad to tell tbe
horrible story.
Remembering that mournful event,
it is not surprising that England
should be anxiously waiting for re
assuring news from the disputed
Khyber Pass.
A shrewd trader ought to make
money at Dawson City buying pro
visions of one store and selling to
another. Mr. Milton Misamore,
who writes a very sensible letter
from Dawson City under date of
July 29th, after giying a very mi
nute description, of the trip in from
Dyea, proceeds to give the prices at
Dawson City, which are, all things
considered, quite reasonable. lie
gives the market quotations as fol
lows: Bacon 50 cents per pound;
flour 24 per barrel, $6 per sack;
' granulated sugar 30 cents per pound ;
beans 13 cents; butter $1.50 per
roll. Mr. R. H. Gerdes writes from
Dawson City July 11th. He quotes
flour at $62 per sack, or $248 by the
barrel ; bacon Jl a pound ; potatoes
$100 a sack. Between the two quo
tations, it strikes us a good sharp
business man could make more than
by mining. Flour that can be
bought by one man for $6 a sack
and costs another 462, furnishes, an
opportunity for trade, and even 50
cents a pound difference in the price
of bacon is not bad for a sharp
trader. The Klondike stories be
strange ones, especially when joked
together.
I he Pendleton iribune tases up
the cudgel . to defend American
courts from the imputation of putting
less value an life than the English
courts, and cites two English cases, in
one of which a man was sentenced to
six weeks hard labor for killing hit;
wife, and on the other a pickpocket
was sentenced to ten years for his
small theft. We do not pretend to
dispute the Tribune's authority, nor
to justify all English decisions, but
as far as the punishment of crime is
concerned, England certainly has a
beUer record than the United States.
Anent the cases quoted, we might
call attention to two Oregon cases.
One was for murder, the other for
stealing salmon, both tried before
the same judge. The murderer got
one year in the pen, and the fellow
who swiped one salmon "got two
years in tbe 'same institution. And
then there 'is Durrant, dying of old
age in California. But the subject
broadens too rapidly to permit dis
cussion. sad1

No mystery about . it. When the
Shakers offered some time ago to give
away a bottle of their Digestive Cordial
to any one who might call at their New
York office, there was a great rush and
a great many people thought they were
crazy.
Subsequent events proved to have
been a very clever advertising transac
tion, for although they gave away
thousands of bottles, it was in the end
profitable; nearly every one that took a
free bottle came back for more and paid
for it with pleasure, saying they had de
rived better results from its use than
from any other medicine they had ever
used.
There is nothing eo uniformly success
ful in the treatment of stomach troubles
as the Shaker Digestive Cordial, and
what is better than all, it relieves at
once.
Laxol, the new form of Castor Oil is
so palatable that children lick the epoon
clean.
