A Starbucker upon leaving that
little town got the following send off
from the local paper published at that
place. "The many (?) friends OF G. S.
Lewis, known to several Starbuck
business mem, at one time business
manager and general outside "rustler''
OF this paper, will be gratifed to know
that he is prospecting. That tickle
goddess, 'Fortuny,' has evidently
taken him by the hand and led him
away from the golden paths of jour-
nalism; plucked him, as it were, from
the depths Of penury and sad-eyed
want and placed him upon the dizzy
pinnacle of affluence and wealth. He
is now chambermaid in Pasco livery
stable. Instead of trying to allure the
elusive and seductive dollar from the
grasp of the timid advertiser or "pull,
ing the leg" OF the Potlach rancher
he now pours out the poetry Of his
soul into the ear of the meek and
lowly cayuse or twists the tail Of the
obdurate and inconsistent mule.
Some people are born great; Others
have greatness thrust upon them.

We editor of this paper was never an
editor before in all his life. He has
always shirked the responsibility OF
attempting to mold public sentiment,
to educate the masses, or to pay bills
incident upon luxury of this kind.
He has heard Of editors getting ever
lastingly thumped for in a generous
way, pointing out the imperfections
OF some degenerate individual in the
community. He has heard of the
country editor, who, when attempted
to rob, promised to give half il any
thing valuable could be found on the
premises. Visions Of libel suits, and
back subscriptions have presented
themselves to him, and yet he has
succumbed. Oh, well! a Ritzville
paper is different. Neighbors won't
lay for him if he gets too gay. After
living with and by him for fifteen or
sixteen years they will stand his i'll
firmities. They can't afford to kill
him as they would all have to chip in
to square it with his creditors. No,
he thinks he is taking less chances on
a deal like this. Neighbors, you can t
afford to discourage an editor who,
knowing the rocky road that the
average journalist travels has the
nerve to tackle the same proposition.
You'd better subscribe and pay your
subscription.

OUR IDEAL STATE,

With its fertile soils, excellent eli
matte conditions and general adapta-
bility, the state OF Washington has
taken the lead OF other states of the
Union in many branches of agricul-
ture. No state is given credit by the
department of agriculture with break
ing so many records in general aver
ages OF staples per acre and in high
grades. The possibilities for diversity
in farming in Washington are unap-
preached by any other state and it is
undisputed that better markets and
better prices always accompany such
conditions. The state in addition to
its Importance as farming has many
other advantages, such as timber,
coal, minerals and fisheries, these and
while manufacture and commerce are
developing rapidly in the state are
adjuncts which add to its prosperity.
The stage of development in the state
is yet comparatively limited. Large
areas remain in all portions of the
state still to be cultivated, and the
prospect for men with moderate
means, combined with energy and
judgment, to secure home. enjoy a
healthful, mild, yet invigorating eli
mate, and secure competency in
agricultural pursuits is excellent in
this state. Wheat is king among the
productions OF the state.
The mild and even climate OF Eas-
tern Washington and its immunity
from late and early frosts adapt it I'M
usually we'll to the growth of all the
fruits of the temperate zone. All the
varieties raised in the eastern states
do we'll in Washington, and many
others that cannot be raised OH the
Atlantic coast or the Mississippi val
ley. Grapes, plums, cherries, the
English walnut, apricots, pears,
peaches, watermelons. canteloupe and
by no means the least hard winter
apples are grown here to perfection
and with proud absence from pests

THE HOLIDAY TRADE.

We who have "pitched our tents"
in Ritzville should not lose an oppor-
tunity to help our neighbors and our
selves These opportunities come
every day. Do you stand by and pat
ronize your home merchants and
business men as you would wish to
have the citizens stand by and pat
ronize you were you in business?
Do you need new suit, your wife
a new dress, your family new hats,
gloves, shoes, or anything in the
ladies' or gents furnishing goods?
Are you in need of fancy and staple
groceries? Do you intend to make
the little ones and the older ones
happy by making them some pretty
and useful PRESENT.
Make your purchases in Ritzville.
II the local merchants have not the
particular style or quality, let them
get it for you and thus show your
good will to those who are your best
friends if you would only look at the
matter in the proper light.
The home merchant pays rent, help,
taxes, and does big share toward
building up the town. The home
merchants and business men are al
ways the first to lend aid financially
to all matters pertaining to the up
building OF the town and surrounding
country. What helps the town, helps
our neighbors in the country as we'll
as the citizens of of the town.
Very often people seem to take par
ticular delight in spending every dol
lar possible in big stores in Spokane,
or by sending to the large department
stores in the east. Nine times out of
ten they would do just as we'll and get
just as good an article at home.
The man or woman who runs to
Spokane or sends east every time a
dollar is to be spent is about as mean
as the fellow who cuts his own hair or
prints his own signs with ii rubber
stamp, in place of advertising in his
home paper.
Look over the columns OF the NEWS
make note Of the names of the ad-
,vertisers, and if you've a dollar to
spend, spend it with them. They are
the men who help a town and are
therefore worthy of your patronage.
The holiday season is at hand. Our
advertisers have laid in large stocks of
goods for the trade. Let US during
the remainder of the month OF De-
cember and from this time forth
prove our loyalty to our home town
by spending our money at home. The
dollars thus spent will eventually
come back to the spender.
