But a few days ago it was an nounced by the Cudatty Packing Company, of Omaha, that a reduc tion of 10 per cent would be made to tbe retailer in all meat products handled by that concern. It is iiu. derstood, as a matter of course, that similar reductions will be ex tended by the retailer to the con sumer, and thus we have the indi cation of a much-desired lowering in th price ot staple foods. Whether thi3 action of the Cuda hy people will become general as n result of the financial flurry of the time it is difficult to say, but that there is demand for it; that it would not be a detriment to general busi ness interests, but quite to the con trary, a mere lopping off of exces sive profit quite advantageous to the public is self-evident. No feature of the trenuous pros perity of the pust few years has been more luarked, or created greater discomfort, that the combi nations within combinations that have affected the price of the ueces sities ot life throughout the coun try. The profit in these trust-bred transactions had no legitimate con nection with the law of normal sup ply and demand. It has been simply an unwarranted gain for those who have been shrewd and unscrupulous enough to milk the public by the elimination of compe tition. From start to finish this evil of high prices is a systematic one. Originating with the great producing trusts, the lesson of com bination has been taught to the smaller dealer, and in some cases the latter has been left out of con sideration entirely by the power of the big trust to make prices that would hold until the goods were in the hands of the consumer. But where the small dealer has been left to exercise his business judgment in tbe matter of fixiDg prices, he has rapidly appreciated the commercial value of the com bine, and in nearly all lines of trude has been able to arbitrarily fix u price tar above what should have been charged, ami which has op erated as a serious burden on the man whose income depends upon his labor. There is room for much reform in this mutter that will prove of positive benefit -reform that, as we say, will not affect the general pros perity of the country any further thmi to insure a more comltortable distribution of the wealth so rapid Jy created. It would simply do away with enormous profit-making by the few to the palpable advan tage of the many. If the Ciulahy announcement is the forerunner of this new o.-der of things it is trebly welcome. Telegram. As will be seen in another column the Civic Improvement Commit tee of the Woman's Club are turn ing their mindH towards the clean ing and beautifying of the city. With this particularly strong com mittee, backed by the club, the co operation of every enterprising bus iness man of tlie city is certainly assured And more will he accomp lished by such a work, removing rubbish, cleaning streets, establish ing parks and driveways, in adver. Using Cottage Grove than any $5000 man that could be employed, unless it was a man that would donate that amount to assist the ladies in the work. Railroad Collision at Albany. Albany, Nov. 11. The Lebanon train, consisting of a baggage car and two passenger cars, was knocked from the track and com pletely wrecked this morning by the Cottage Grove local running into it just as its engine had passed the junction out upon the main line. The engine just escaped. Con ductor Cummins and the baggage man jumped just in time, and also the fireman on the Cottage Grove local, the latter being bruised up some. There were 2.'l passengers in the last car of the Lebanon train, none of whom was iujured. The Cottage Grove train is said to have been three minutes early, while the Lebanon train was on time. The collision happened in a dense fog. Little damage was done the Cot tage train, though the engine was disabled. REASONS For the Holidays and Clearing House Basis. ily John C. Ainsworth of Portland. The financial outlook as we try to analyze it is as remarkable and complicated as one could well im agine. On Monday of this week out of a clear sky came telegrams from all the principle cities of the Middle West, stating that the credit bal ances of the Pacific Coast cities, amounting to several millions of dollars, were simultaneously tied up under clearing house regula tions until further notice, and that orders for shipments of coin or cur- rency would not be recognized. Portland is peculiarly situated in that she has acted as a reserve cen ter for Tacoma, Seattle and Spo kaneor tbe Inland Empire and as these cities, cut off from every other point, received telegrams of a similar tone to those referred to. they immediately called upon Port land for heavy shipments of gold. Portland responded as best she could, and naturally looked to her source of supply, viz, San Francis co, when to our utter astonishment we learn that even with a United States sub-treasury and a mint there, not one dollar was forthcom ing from this central point. For years past it has been pos sible to deposit telegraphic ex change in New York to the credit of the Treasurer of the United States, and receive payment in gold through the sub-treasury in San Francisco. At this time this facili ty of the Government has been de nied us, presumably because of the drain on New York funds resulting from such transfers by our western banks. Portland, thus cut off had but to fall back on her owu resources, not only for her own needs, but for those of the interior banks of Ore gon and Washington. we have also been asked to car ry the heavy pay rolls of the rail road companies, for which we re ceived drafts on St. Paul and San Francisco. The result has been that we have not properly cared for our interior banks and have been helpless to lend more than a tiifling assistance, and for that reason it was thought wise to resort to the only other pro tection, namely a legal holiday. Washington followed suit, and Cal ifornia has fallen into line and will continue it indefinitely until the sky clears. We have hopes and fully believe that shortly facilities will be afford ed through the San Francisco mint or sub-treasury which will almost immediately relieve the situation. Until this assistance is afforded, in my opinion the Governors of the three states Oregon, Washington and California should act jointly and continue from day to day the; ROYAL ACADEMY COTTAGF. GROVK.

ADMISSION 15 and 25c legal holiday, thus allowing busi ness to be transacted as usual with the slightest inconvenience to nny one, and at the same time affording protection to our hundreds of in terior banks, who through no fault of their owd, are in a position to withstand uurensonable demands made upon them. Unlike the con ditions in 1So3, when it was impos sible to "get blood out of a turnip" the resources and wealth of our country were never so great as they are now, so that it would appear j that remedying the situation is j simply a question of solving a prob- j lem that is possible of solutiou. j One other cause of tho tempor- 1 ary blocking the movement of our splendid wheat crop is the fact that ' our 6o-day bills on London (valued I at from $loo,ooo to $150,000 each), j representing our loaded wheat ships in the harbor, cannot be sold at any j of the money centers of tliecoun-! try, thus absolutely stopping the; wheat buying from the farmers, i This, however, can only be tempor - ary with the balance of trade so heavy in favor of the United States at this season cf the year. j It is to be hoped that with these j wonderful crops and other products of our soil, representing so much wealth, that tho wheels of com merce may soon be'set in motion again.
