though there is still' work to be done
before stability has been reached. The
country has been passing through a
period of deflation, in fact is yet in it.
Some sections of the country have
been- hard hit, and the deflation has
been quite pronounced, although 'we
on the Pacific coast, aind particular
ly in Portland, have been compara
tively free from serious trouble so
far.
From the standpoint of the pro
ducer, seemingly the bottom has
dropped out of prices affecting every
thing grown or produced in the Pa
cific northwest, but as Roger Babson,
the noted statistician, says, there may
be some consolation in knowing
"that Ihe worst has happened." The
drop in prices in the past eight
months was the most precipitate
known to history, and the fact that
we are going on sawing lumber, rais
ing wheat, fruit, hay, livestock and
other stuffs, despite the- losses sus
tained, shows the stability of the peo
ple of the country. "
"Our producers apparently have
taken their full deflation. Lumber is
50 per cent less than a year ago.
Wheat, hay, wool, sheep, hogs, cat
tle, fruits, of all kinds, potatoes dairy
products, eggs and salmon have
shared in the decrease in prices and
are from 40 to 60 percent less than
a year ago, and in most cases below
the cost of production. Somewhere
near, steady prices should hold for
the time being so far as producers
are concerned, and they must needs
curtail production expenses to meet
income with something left for profit.
This is certainly a time fo reconomy
and attention to business."
The University of Maine faculty

hning which consisted of a paddle
gauntlet for freshmen.
