The mighty hand Of industry en-
gagged in building II prosperous COM
munity beneath the blue dome of a
fair Adams county sky, is sweeping
onward and pushing forward with Il
zest, that is no caprice, but the easy
natural and required advancement
exacted by the raising of 100000
bushels OF wheat and large influx of
strangers and home seekers demon
strating a willingness to establish
themselves here and cast their lot
with those who have braved the trials
OF pioneering AMI have escaped with
the rigors of hard winters and the sor-
rows OF crop failures, hard times and
low prices written in the rugged lines
upon their brows. Here is extended
the hand Of friendship. Shaplier
hands in other climcs, perchance, have
been offered in the charity OF that
ennobling virture but never has the
object OF that friendship or the clasp
OF those hands been more fervent than
when the invitation to come among
us, to be OF us and to partake of those
plenteous fruits Of honest toll win a
home and become a happy being in
the emouments that surround you.
A lavish nature has not endowed our
land with the grandeur. OF towering
and majestic mountain peaks nor ver-
dant meadows where the deer and the
little child play together, but hid
den in the recesses of a fertile soil are
those qualities that under the guild
ing hand OF thoughtful man spring in
to life and bears to him from her max
ed crest the nucleus of life giving sub
stances that tend to happiness and
continued prosperity.

RITZvILLE, OCTOBER I6, 1901.

Harvest in this part Of the country
is practically overland nearly all OF The
threshers have "pulled in" for the
close of the season. The splendid
weather OF the last two weeks has been
worth vast sums OF money to the
turner's who had grain unthreshed,
AMI the entire crop is practically safe.
Threshing in the immediate vicinity
of Ritzville has been completed for
nearly tlrae weeks, but fear was eK.
pressed that large tracts OF grain in
the south and western part OF the
county would lie ruined in the event
that rain set in. No loss has been in
CURED by the rains during harvest
and the grain is all in fine condition.
In fact there is larger percentage OF
No. wheat than ever before known
in the county. The price of Wheat
continues to go down with remarkable
regularity. One OF the worst features
OF the market is the fact that the
dealers do rot want to buy, evidently
fear in still further reduction in the
price. Local buyers yesterday quoted
40 cents for wheat and were not anx-
ious to buy at that figure. Practi-
cally none is offered for sale, the farm
ers preferring to wait for reaction.
Considerable wheat was sold early in
the season at IS cents, at which price
the farmer has Il good profit on his
seasons work, but with going down
the profits are diminishing at an al
arming rate, those who have not sod
are growing uneasy. Adams county
farmers have the advantage, however,
over a1y other locality il h. s.a
in the fact that they can afford to sell
their wheat from ten to fifteen cents
less per LusheI and still make profit
owing to the ease and nominal ex-
pense Of farming here
