Tacoma Globe: awhile the yield of grain per
acre is not as phenomenally great this year al
in some past seasons, il will bring our farmers
the largest money return they ever received tor
their labors, on account OF the fncreaseo asre-
age and of the high prices received Inc enect
OF this is already felt in the rise In the ptce Oh
agricultural lands in the great grain oeils OF
this state Moreover, the high price received
for this years crop is almost entirely pront, as
the farmer had already paid the COST nso no
mortgage or debt to worry him and In many
cases had money in the bank, as the condison
OF the banks of Eastern Washington during the
past year Will show. The farmer OF the state OF
Washington is fortunate individual Ii he be
industrious and prudent he Is certain OF good

Cathlamet Gazette: estate Auditor Reed rem
cered q decision submitted to him by kittitas
school district relative to the levying OF
special tax by school districts. The school law
provides that the directors OF district shall,
when in their Judgment il is necessary, levy
special tax for school purposes OF nos less than
mills. The revenue law provides that less
tax may be imposed, and Mr. Reed decided the
conflict by stating that as the revenue law was
passed and approved before the school law that
the former holds and that less tax than mills
may be imposed"
Palouse Gczate: "The farcical proceeding of
the Spokane Democracy in opening nominations
q second time SO that q colored man could be
elected delegate to the great convention, is in
oicative of the Democratic party on all ques-
tions- There is no littleness they will not stoop
TO for party advantage, whatever their real SEN
uments may be. Spokane wanted colored
delegate for strictly business purposes, namely
to talk about from now till next election"

ConMoaer closes its sixth volume. Its history,

part of the publishers to make the seventh

ceding one has been"
Bellingham Bay Express: "The people Of
Whatcom county should continue to agitate the
question of how to secure good roads and decide

being in the method pursued to procure them"

rectors to provide q three-acre plot to build q

Fairhaven Herald: "We should do everything
in our power 10 encourage and assist industries
of real merit, but we have no means TO waste in
giving subsidies for the estabiishm ent of enter
prises that offer no reasonable assurance OF per-
manent value"
Yakima Republic: "The present governor of
New York represents all that is basest in the old
and rotten school of New York ward politics,
while J. s. Fassett represents the honesty and
conscience OF the people"

happy and prosperous; prices good. better than
for years, and the yield much larger. Why
should they not feel contented?"
