Potatoes are Ilt,w two dollars a bushel and

+ no good reason why the farmers can
not raise enough vegetables and roots at
home TO supply tie home demand. More
can be raised &, the acre here than at any
point from whence our supply comes. and
prices are good. Some one give good
reason for this oversight on the part of our
farmers, and then overcome il next year
and keep tue money at home.
The Spokane heciep Indignantly denies
statement inside by one of us local con-
teniporaries, that spokane has the great
est number Of opium smokers in the coun
try, and that ''from a hundred Hop-joints'
the poisonous fumes of the deadly drug
escape" and that "a death occurs every
week or two as n warning" The Reeier
doubts that five much less a hundred
dives exist in the whole city, and denies
that there has been more than one death
which could be attributed to opium. and in
that case Investigation showed that
cocaine. and not opium. was the cause.
Exaggeration IS bad at all times, but
especially SO when calculated to injure
ones own locality.
