Goddess of Plenty.

Asa land of plenty, and the holder OF
frat prize for county exhibit at the Spo-
kane fruit fair of 1897, Whitman county
has this year the proud distinction of
naming from among her fair daughters
the Goddess of Plenty for the 1898 ex-
bibition of this association, to be held at
suokane in October.
The managers of the Whitman County
Agricultural and Fruit Fair Association
are now making plans for the selection
OF this Goddess OF Plenty. 1t is conceded
bv them that Colfax will not compete
for this honor, but in all probability the
association will name one lady in each
al the county towns to be voted upon in
competition by the citizens of each town
who desire the honor, the proceeds de-
rived therefrom to be appropriated
toward the placing of a proper exhibit
from the county at the Spokane fair.
Each town, outside of Colfax, will be en-
titled to 3 candidate for this honor, and
a generous rivalry is expected between
them.
The exact date for holding the Whit
man county fair has not yet been named,
but it will not be until after the cIoie of
the Spokane fair, which opens on the
first Tuesday in October and continues
until the 15th or 10Th.
Contributions from Colfax people for
the Whitman county fair arc generous,
now aggregating about $1100, though
many OF the business men and others
who will gladly contribute have not yet
been seen, while many now on the list
expect to increase their subscriptions

Wisdom in Holding Grain.

The ability for the farmers of the
northwest to hold their grasn this sea-
son is matter for congratulation. The
enormous crop in this section OF the
country will make its disposal an import
ant factor in influencing the markets OF
the United States. The disposition OF
the growers to house their stocks until
the demand ineures release OF them at
profitable figures will be beneficial to all
sections.
The coming year will sec other estab-
lished points added to the grain markets
OF the world. Chicago, New York and
Liverpool will continue to be the distrib-
uting centers for most of the territory
that they have previously controlled, bat
the rapidly increasing trade oil the orient
will make of Tacoma. Seattle, Portland
and San Francisco, one or all, grain OK
porting centers, that will establish new
prices Tor the product of The Pacific slope.
These prices will be uncontrolled by
eastern points, excepting such OF the
overflow at those points, as shall affect
prices in new markets.
The demand for distribution at the Pa
cific northwest points has sn added field
in the same kind OF demand from San
Fr&ncsco. The California crop this year,
according to all reliable adviceB, has
suffered such damage that San Fran
cisco will be under the necessity Of draw
ing upon the supplies OF Washington
and Oregon, not only TO meet foreign or
ders, but to supply home demands. So
it appears that this section has market
of it's own, which, on account OF it's easy
accessibility, will consume all OF the
product, ii unloaded gradually, without
being affected by eastern influences.
The unloading of this product grad
ually il the point to be considered now
Eastern growers operate upon more
hand -to-mouth plan than do those IN
this section They are more numerous
and plant less extensively. This year
they are not universally enjoying the
benefits OF last years big crop, dis
posed OF at q good profit, Their grain,
10 meet pressing needs, will probably 90
,upon the market when harvested,
whether the profit is there or not. The
farmers OF the northwest are more for
tunats. Considerable reserve capital
exists among them, as the result OF the
good prices they have been receiving for
wheat. The growing demands of home
consumption and the foreign demand.
which is expected to increase, places
them in position that insureS goSd
prices for their grain, if they unload it
to conform with the markets needs.
ANY Fastening to unload the new crop
will precipitate such supply OF stocks
az will demoralize the market. II viii
not recover until too late to be OF benefit
TO the growers.
Grain marketed at eastern points will
continue to go into the warehouses at
such prices as speculation and demand
fixes upon it. Aside from the consump-
tive demand in the east, it will seek the
Atlantic seaboard for export. All adj
vices credit the worlds crop with being
large. Any overplus of grain at eastern
points will not get into competition with
western grain until such late period as
to affect prices little. The gradual mar
keting OF our grain at steady prices can
not but avail good. West Coast Trade.

In the eastern part. There were but
two days, the 3rd an 9TH, which were
only moderately wPum. The average
temperature was up wards of seven de-
grees above the norzlal, the maximum
temperatures ranging from 80 to 95 in
parts ot9he western section, and frem
100 to ITO in the hotter localities of the
eastern section.
No rainfall at all has been reported,
except slight show er amounting to .02
of an inch at Fort Clnby, which is at the
mouth OF the Colum bia, wholly outside
OF the agricultural di stricts. The drought
has been prolonged for several weeks,
and the seasonal de iciency as compared
with the normal ainfall now amounts
at Seattle to 5.4 inches.
The continuation of the drought and
heated term has wi thout doubt caused
considerable injury to the staple crops.
Potatoes have suffered, and the crop, as
a general thing, will be short. Garden
vegetables generally have felt the effects
OF the scorching sun and the lack OF
moisture. Apples have many of them
been scalded or cooked on the trees.
Blackbcrrie8 lave dried up on the bushes.
Pastures have become very scant, brown
and bare. Hops lave been affected, the
lower branches drying up. Oa:s have
withstovd the unfavorable weather re-
markably we'll, a]d are fine crop. A
remarkably fine hay crop has been
gathered.
The weather Eas favorable for the
harvesting OF the wheat crop, except
that it was ripen,d too rapidly, causing
shattering. As ;hreshing proceeds 1t Is
seen that the yield OF fall wheat was
good, although III some cases it has been
oyerestimated and that much OF the
spring wheat will he somewhat shriv-
elled, causing the yield to be less than
was expected, q iad OF poorer grade. That
on stubble land has turned out very POOR.
That which haa been most damaged by
the heat is the late sown wheat. The
Yields IN the so 1theast counties will be
the best this year Unless unexpectedly
delayed harvesting will be completed
unusually early.
