THE BUDVEISER

The Budweiser Beer, so well known
in the markets of the world is that
which since 1875 is manufactured by
the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Associa-
ton. 1t is made of the best barley
and finest Bohemian hops, and on ac-
count of its first class quality has
gained reputation which extends far
beyond the boundary of the United
States.
1t is now extensively ordered in
Mexico, South America, and Austria

home of all beers-Bavaria.

method of working these mines is to
sink a shaft into the frozen ground in
winter, taking out the rich gravel near
bedrock and piling it up to be washed
out when the water runs in summer
time. For this reason the gold washed
out last summer could not be sent
away, and will not be brought down
until next July, when it is expected
that several millions of dollars will
come out as the result of the first years
work along the Klondike. The COM
mercial point for the Klondike district
Is the new town of Dawson City, situ-
ated on the Yukon just below the
mouth of the Klondike and reached by
river steamers.
The Yukon gold fields extend for o
thousand miles along the stream. with
width of 900 miles. In this vas. area
there are hundreds of streams and
gulches. Offering ample room for the
thousands of gold seekers to prospect for
new diggings. The new discoveries re-
ported this year are on Dominion creek
and on the tributaries of the Stewart
iANClt VII blG Sdlluuldn blue, anu OH
Munnook creek and its tributaries on
the Alaska side, near the mouth of the
latter the new town of Rampant City
having sprung up.
Not all of the thousands who 90 to
Alaska next year will seek fortune on
the Yukon. Some will go further
north to the streams flowing into Kotz-
bue sound, where discoveries are report
ed. Others will go to Copper river,
flowing south into Prince William
sound and heading in the same region
as the Munnook and Birch creeks, and
still others will prospect along the
streams falling into Cooks inlet, where
rich placers have been worked for sew
eral years. The region where prospect
ing will be done is as large as the en-
tire Pacific coast west of the Rocky
mountains, and should many new dis
coveries be made population of half a
million people may be expected in a
few years

An Anecdote by Mark Twain.

great favor to her. II was Eliot's In
If it was perfect copy it had an estab-

Engines used in electric lighting are

An interesting device for detecting,
with extreme accuracy, any change Of
speed In such an engine is employed In
an Elizabethport factory. Two metal
plates are pierced with corresponding
slits and placed one in front of the 9TH
er so that, when the slits are in line, the
spokes of the fy-wheel of the engine
can be seen passing them. One of the
plates is caused to oscillate, by means
of an electro magnet, at such rate
that the two Sits are in line every time
a spoke Is passing. If there are six
spokes in the wheel, and the wheel
turns 400 times in minute, the nova
BILE slit must oscillate 2,400 times in a
minute. If the speed of the engine Is
perfectly regular, a spoke will always
be seen directly in line with the Sits;
II the speed varies the spoke will ap-

Spokane Fruit Fair.

The time for the annual fruit fair at
Spokane comes on apace, and the COM
mittee are sparing no pains or money
that will in any way contribute to the
success OF the undertaking. From year
TO year since the fair began it has grown
in size and popularity, until it has be-
come the greatest annual exhibit of fruit
and vegetables west of the Mississippi
valley. The average daily attendance
last year was over 500. With the in
creased prosperity of the coming fall, and
the abundant yield OF all grains, fruits
and vegetables, the fair will assume
grander proportions than ever, and the
attendance will be greatly increased.
Those attending are not only citizens of
our own state, but coming at the time it
does, many eastern people looking for
homes or otherwise travelling in the
west, make it point to visit the fruit
fair. And it is we'll known that coun-
try is best advertised by a display of its
productions. We all are interested in
the welfare of the northwest, and espec-
tally of this part of Washington. Then
let everybody having fruit, vegetables or
grain that would make a creditabe dis
play, lose no time in securing a place in
the Palouse Country's exhibit. No finer
fruit, grain or vegetables are grown than
those OF the Palouse country, and there
is no reason why we may not take first
place in all these displays if the people
will take sufficient interest to bring forth
their products.

Whitman County Fruit and Agri-

ColtaX, W ash, Aug. "a, 1897.
Preparations for the third annual ex-
hibit Of the Whitman county fair, which
will be held in Colfax, Sept % to Oct.
2, are progressing nicely, and indications
point to very large exhibit from all
parts of the county. We are daily in re-
ceipt of encouraging letters, a great
many coming from people who have not
attended any of our previous fairs, who
promise to bring some of their products,
and this all tends to the necessity of en-
larging the space for all classes of ex-
hibits.
The citizens of Colfax have generously
contributed enough cash to enable the
executive committee to make quite q
material increase in the premiums. The
management continues to bar all exhib-
itors from out of the county from COM
peting for premiums. There will be
horse racing every day, bicycle racing for
Whitman county amateurs two days,
and the amusing features of last years

There will also be another grand baby
show, and all the pretty babies OF the
county are invited to participate.

This makes net dividend of 10 per

worth 70 cts. per bushel, while the cost

same.
This then makes the net dividend to

The Business Outlook.

Reports from all parts OF the United
States show marked increase in trade
and business generally. Factories of all
kinds, mines Except silver and rail
roads are doing more business than for
three years. Caops of all kinds through
out most OF the U. S. are better than for
some time, and prices are much better.
Corn is taking a raise, and is keeping
step with wheat. This means a great
deal to corn states in which corn is the
principal crop. Even these old corn
states have good wheat crop this year.
With such an indication for good times
abroad, the Palouse country with its
enormous crop and present high price
will resume to large extent its ~ and
'o2 mentions in business lines. Seventy
five cents is big price for wheat in this
country.
Let US notice few figures: Let farm
land be valued ct $50 per acre, and
money is worth 10 per cent. Then the
interest for year would be $3.50 per
acre. AT the present rate of taxation
the tax on an acre would be about rs cts.
An acre will average 30 bushels of wheat
