Look Out for Swfndlers.

While nearl y all men presenting checks
do SO honestly, there are some who take
advantage of such days as that of Mon
day-labor day and a holiday. From
Saturday noon until Tuesday at 9
O'Clock banks were closed The rain
sent many harvesters to town, and a
majority of these carried bank checks
from their employers. 1t was difficult
to cash them at any business house, be-
cause people did not know whether they
were genuine. They have been bitten
too many times and are now extremely
careful on the check line. While the ma
iority have honest checks, the CRATER is
always in evidence and ready to fix up a
bogus one.

Burned Another Thresher

Cotton News Letter: NJ. r. Scullv's
threshing outfit was burned up on VIM.
Luy's ranch, four miles south of Union
town, Monday morning The fireman
got up to start the fire, first raking out
the ashes, which the strong wind blow
ing at that time famed into flames. He
attempted to put out the small fire, but
the wind took it to the stacks, and the
boys sleeping there barely had time to
roll out, several OF them losing shoes,
overalls and blankets The fire DESTROYED
two settings of wheat for Mr.. Luy, and
spread to the Hall ranch burning all
their barley. The flames stopped on
the ridge of hill in a stubble field,
whipped out by the wind. Had the wind
been blowing with less force the fire
would have spread farther and done
greater damage

Showing on Commissions.

The fruit growers of the Palouse
country consider that they have a griev-
anca with the wholesale commission mer-
chants. AS an instance of this, Henry
Fowler submits a bill for fruit shipped
which Included q number of varieties of
apples, amounting to $5S so. Freight
was charged to $3.50; commission
S., 50, leaving to the growers $21.15.
This fruit was sold in Seattle to J. NJ.
HixsOn & Co., wholesale commission
merchants, who solicit consignments.
The railroads and commission men. it
will be observed, took nearly two-thirds
OF the value. This is small encourage
ment to the average orchardist, and
they generally refuse to work under such
conditions.

1t is stated that a heavier string Of

They will begin operations sinking

At the meeting of the local chamber
OF commerce Tuesday evening it was de-
clded to accept the invitation of the Col
fax chamber of commerce and run an
excursion to COlfax during the county
lair to be-held there September % to %,
says New West Trade of Spokane. Ar
rangements will be made for business
mems excursion which should be partici-
pated in by everyone who is able to get
away and enjoy the hospitality of the
good people of the Palouse country,
which is one of the richest and most
promising sections tributary to Spokane.
No opportunity to bring the people of
the Inland Empire into closer and more
perfect business relations should be neg
lected, and one of the best means of
learning each others needs, widening
trade relationships, and cementing bust
ness friendships is by an exchange of
courtesies such as is contemplated by
the excursion to COlfax during the Whit
man county fair. Let all who can help
to make it success.
