New YORK, March 10.-Most newspapers
ere started to "fill long felt want" Some
times the only man who really feels the want
is the man who starts the paper, and he does
not feel it very acutely until after he has
been running it for a while
The bright newspaper man is the editor
who starts q paper to supply want winch
is Just beginning to be felt; in other words,
one who is just ahead of the times-not too
far ahead-but just far enough TO let his pa
per grow with the ''want" and increase it.
After want has been felt for long time
TIE people get used to it. 1t is the newest
want that is the first to be satisfied.
But supposing the man who wants to start
paper has chosen an active, growing town
of, say. 5000 inhabitants, and after carefully
looking over the ground has decided to es-
tabIish a weekly paper. How much Will 1t
cost him for his plant and running expensess
How much capital viii he require.
lie wants an eight page paper Of, we viii
say, six columns to the page, forty eight col
umns in all. From twelve to eighteen of
these columns viii be devoted to advertising,
the remainder to news and miscellaneous
reading matter. Tire first point he must de-
eide upon is whether lie viii use patent in
side" or ready print, or plate" or ready
set matter. In the orc case he gets his paper
bali printed: in the other, he buys such mat
ter as he may select, IN column stereotype
plates. The patent inside is not so salts
factory in the long run as the plates. 1t
does not allow him the same latitude in edit
ing his own PAPER
The greatest objection is that the time is
likely to come when the editor would like to
throw out page or part of a page Of miscel-
lany in order TO make room for local news
item or an unexpected advertisement. The
ready print is infexjbie There are four
pages which he cannot touch. If, on the
other hand, be is using the plates, he can
leave out column, or saw of paragraph,
or, if for any reason he SO desires, set his
whole paper at home, though this, under or
binary circumstances and present conditions
is the height of folly for tho average country
weesly. A part OF the paper must consist of
general news, stories, short paragraphs and
special articles. All except the purely local
news can be bought ready set much more
cheaply than it could be set in the office, and
it leaves the editor time TO make his local
plges sparkle with all the news be can gather
and all the originality that is IN him.

Spokane Falls RevieW: On our return
trip from Portland we had the good for
tune tn lay over for day at North Yak
ina with the intention Of visiting tho
ranch Of the Mckee company, who have
gone into the raising Of fine tobacco on an
extensive scale. Mr.. William Ker stated
that l0O0 pounds to the acre was = fair
average crop, the same netting secs, and
that the lands adjoining North Yakima
were well adapted for this and bop
raising.
This company will go into the raising
Of tobacco very extensively, as the returns
per acre are greatly In excess Of any other
product Of the soil. The same soil seems
well adapted to hop raising, as Il will pro-
duce this year frOm 1900 to 900 pounds
per acre, or q net profit Of 800. It is =
well known fart that any country which
can raise successfully tobacco or hops is
on the road to prosperity, and when Il is
demonstrated, as It has been there, that
such Ia the case, the country will not only
be thickly settled, but the lands will be
cultivated in small tracts. This Is worthy
the attention Of our citizens, and such In
dustries should he ENCOURAGED.
