The farmers should take advan-
tage of the clear days and put in
full time so as to secure the bounti-
full crop we may have a repetition
of the rainy fall of four years ago,
so it stands the farmers in hand to
be up and doing, and lose no time.
We received a complimentary
from the management of the Spok-
ane Fruit Fair, which bids fair to
be the best Fair ever held in this
fair land, and while we fairly ache
to look upon thing so fair as this
Fair, still our purse precludes the
purchase of a fare,
The rains sadly interfered with
harvest in this region, the farmers
began to wear long faces and have
a far away look, they were fearful
of a repetition of four years ago,
The had better get in and do some
tall work, not let up until the char
vest is over, and the summer is past,
and their grain is saved.
Ex sheriff Cy. Overman passed
through town on Tuesday, bound
for Lewiston with three loads of
WHEAT. Mr.. Overman said that he
had been offered only 40 cents. on
the Prairie. He could pay 10 cents
per bushel for hauling to Lewiston
and then clear from IL to Is cents
per bushel. In this cohnexion it is
lust as we'll to remark that good
many farmers have expressed them
to the effect that the merchants on
the Prairie must pay reasonable pri-
ces for grain. Must buy grain, or
lose the sale of the goods. Our trades
men should look after this matter
and buy the grain, and allow its val
ue, less hauling, and thus keep our
money at home. Too much money is
sent away for goods, that costs al
most as much, and then you don't
always get what you send for.

The Colorado Midland was built with

The building of the Mexican Central
railway from Ell Paso to the City of Mex
