The Cost of War News.

1t IS the impression of the gen
cral public, not knowing the ex.
peDse attending the conduct of a
snccessful newspaper. that when q
great event like a war occurs fur
nishing ne'gs Ofau absorbing char
acter 70 az classes Of people that
the papers make money faster than
a mint. This unfortuuatelv--for
the Dewspapers-- is mistake.
The Sew York Herald knows what
war news costs. If any newspa.
per does. It's news service is the
best and It covers the world.
The Herald has puuctured a pop
uiar notion that war is profitable
to newspapers BY calling attention,
for instance, to the great expense
to which they are pnt bv the Russo
Japanese war The centre Of the
present conflict 10 the far East is
1900 miles away from the United
States, aud the transmission Of
news by cable aud land lines costs

limited facilities for sending the +.

The H. f. Alciatore of the
U. S. Weather Bureau says: The
mean temperature of the whole
of the Columbia River Basin
deduced from official reports
from fourteen stations well dis
tributed over.the basin, is 1925
degrees. AS might reasonably
be expected, the lowest and
most southern portion of this
basin has the highest mean an.
nual temperature of any part of
the state. This condition re
suits from a high summer tenn
perature, followed by a moder-
ate winter temperature, both
of which are easily accounted
for, when the direction of slope,
the popularity of soil and the
lack of moisture are taken into
account. Kennewick, which is
situated near the confluence of
the Yakima and Columbia riv.
ers, may be regarded as the cen.
ter of this district of highest
temperature. This station has
amean annual temperature OF
SAT degrees, the highest in the
state. Tho mean for July is
1858 degrees, that for January
34.3 degrees, over 2 degrees
above freezing point. The
range between these two ex
tremes is AZ degrees. For eq
