Forty Bushels the Average.

Colfax, Wash, Aug. CIV. F. Con-
yard of La Crosse was in Colfax today
and says harvest is we'll under way in
that section, and the best yields of
grain of the Palouse country are being
obtained in the vicinity of La Crosse
Hay. Meeker Canyon, Washtucna and
Kahlotus. "All the wheat is being
graded No. and the quality is as good
as was ever harvested in the Palouse
country" said Mr.. Conyard. yields of
40 to 45 bushels are not uncommon, and
I think the entire crop will average
from 90 bushels per acre up. That is
a good yield for that section. where it
was thought until a few years ago that
grain could not be grown successfully.
Peter McGregor is harvesting his crop
of about 1000 acres. and it is yielding
about 40 bushels per acre. This is all
new land, and the crop now being har-
vested in the first ever produced Buy
ers say the wheat grown in our section
is the best quality produced in eastern
Washington and prices are higher than
farther east"

COLD NElGhRORS.
(Goodwin's Weekly.)

1t is said that both Spokane and
Seattle are giving the cold shoulder to
the Portland exposition. This is most
strange. One would think that the
whole northwest would do everything
possible to make the fair success.
Seattle has her own commanding posi-
ton, 1t has a country behind 1t and an
Alaska and Pacific trade which Port
land cannot much interfere with; the
two cities are about as far apart as are
Boston and New York: almost every
stranger that goes to visit the fair will
take In the Sound country also; one
would think Seattle would be cordial
toward the Portland show. AS for Spo-
kane, she cannot change the inevitable.
Take the brakes off a car in Spokane
and 1t will pretty nearly bring up in
Portland: Portland is Spokane's natu-'
raj depot. Some people are slow to
take on all the Christian virtues.

TIMBER AND PASSES

The attempt to implicate Senator
Hepburn in the timber land frauds will
fail, for the simple reason that it has
no shadow of fact for its foundation.
Because the United States district at
torney for Idaho has appointed as his
assistant a Lewiston lawyer who by
chance has acted as attorney for the
Commercial Trust company, of that
city, of which Senator Hepburn is di-
rector, it is claimed that it was done
for the purpose of protecting that COM
pany in its holding of timber land ille-
gally acquired. 1t has been shown con-
clusively that the Commercial Trust
company does not hold one acre OF tim
Der land, directly or indirectly, and that
the appointment of Mr.. Johnson as as
sistant district attorney was matter
wholly in the hands of his chief, who
is responsible for the official conduct
of his subordinates; that Senator Hey
burn declined to have anything to DO
with the selection and merely expressed
his approval after the choice had been
made.
It seems that the junior senator from
Idaho is receiving his full share OF at
tention from the newspapers, assisted
by Washington correspondents. In an
other column will be found special
to the Boise Statesman which, while
conceding that Senator Hepburn does
not travel on a railroad pass. insinu-
ates that he has an Interior motive IN
holding the passes while paying his
fare.
Because Senator Hepburn chooses to
| hold the passes sent to him and pay
his fare wherever he goes. instead OF
returning the pasteboards and giving
the press n copy of his letter declining
them Is no reason to question the sim
ceritv Of his action. Thinking people
will, recognize his position as the cor
rect one. With him it is not ques-
ton of moral courage. but one of pro-
| nriaty. 1t has long been known TO MS
friends that he is opposed to public
officials riding on passes, and that
since becoming a senator he has IN
variah1v Maid his fare the same as any
bodv else. Why should he parade IL Ill
the public press as if man deserved
! snecial credit for doing what he con-
| ceives to be right?

1T PAYS TO BE A KICKER.
(Payette independently

A republican exchange complains
that although the Boise Statesman
ho,ts the marty ticket whenever it feels
like it, the party leaders always feel
constrained to give it the state patron
age, while the country press, which Is
depended upon to apply the lash OF dis
approval when the Statesman bolts,
gets nothing at all. All this is true as
gospel. But the trouble with the coun-
try press is that it devotes it's time to
scolding the Statesman for cornering
the patronage and forgets entirely that
the party leaders are just about as SER
vile in their efforts to pacify the
Statesman as that paper is in it's efforts
to get the patronage.
