For BETTER PMcEs.-Palouse farmers
propose to hold their wheat this year.
After doing all the work and taking all
the risk Of drought and storm they don't
care to take 81 cents busbel for their
grain. At Palouse and other points the
October shipments are reported to be but
fraction Of those made last year. The
bad weather and the fact that much wet
grain has been refused by the buyers are
given rs partial excuses for this showing,
but the grain buyers agree that all farm
ers who are able will hold their wheat.

The DurY OF THE PARry.-The Seattle
Telegraph has a timely editorial upon the
present duty Of the Democratic party in
the state to eradicate from its ranks all
influences which favor boodling, and to
BEE that localities where the Democrats
are in power shall have in reality an
| honest government. 1t also urges that
the party lay aside petty differences and
present solid working front to the oppo-
sition.

election. Democrats, what say you?-
