The Local Newspaper First

Hearst's Chicago Ame1lcn OF a
recent issue contained the follow
ing editorial, which has no little
comment on the part of the press
generally because of the fact that it
shows spirit Of fairness which does
not always characterize the Aneri-
cans editorials. 1t says 1T
would be a misfortune to the country
if the few big papers in the big cities
should interfere seriously with the
publication of the valuable and in
telligent local newspaper-for upon
these local newspapers the welfare
of the country very largely depends.
The metropolitan daily cannot pos
sibly know the needs of the various
localities and small cities. Only
the local newspapers can protect
local needs and influence local opin-
ion. Of course we are glad to have
as many people read the Chicago
American in the big cities and little
cities. But we hope that in every
small town and every village there
will be enough intelligence and pub
lie spirit on the part of the local i'll
habitants to support earnestly and
enthusiastically the best local news
paper, giving encouraging approba-
ton and good living to the local
editor, who alone can represent and
defend justice and public spirit a.
mong his neighbours. The man is
unfortunate who cannot afford to
take two newspapers at today S
prices He who can afford only one
newspaper, i'll our opinion, should
display his sense of duty to his To-
cality by taking the local news
paper"

Yesterday afternoon and evening.
The men were ordered out Pres.
Perham of the O. R. 7. The diff
ferences have been the subject of
NEGOTIATIONS since May and it is to
be expected that both sides are set
for the struggle. The operators
demanded the reinstatement of ;
men discharged by the company
''for cause" which was unqualified.
" refused by the roads Other
demands of the men are for increase
wages, shorter hours and extra pay
for overtime and Sunday. The
railroad are reported to be sucur-
ing outside operators as rapidly as
possible. Gn the other hand the
men have selected a most oppor-
tune time On account of heavy pas
senger traffic to the Fair and heavy
freight traffic in moving the wheat
crop. Incidentally the innocent
third pa1ty-the public-is getting
it in the neck just as hard as usual
Times like these make converts to
government ownership of railways.

Big Bend Wheat News.

1t is reported that the bulk of
the wheat crop in the vicinity of
Creston has been contracted for by
the grain buyers of that place.
Over 200, 900 bushels have been
sold at from 63 to IS cents for blue
stem. The farmers consider that
good price and they are willing to
let others take chance on the flu
ture market. In Creston there are
two buyers for flour mills. The
Washington Grain & Milling COM
pany has a plant there. The Puget
Sound Warehouse company, with
a warehouse in that town, has flour
mills in Tacoma, Portland and also
at several inland points. Two COM
panies besides these are represented
i'll the purchase of the 2oo,o
bushels. The farmers of Creston
are taking a different view of the
situation from the grain raisers of
other portions of the country.
At Davenport not over $4,000
bushels have been sold and practic-
ally no trading is being done. The
largest purchase is one of Ia, 500
bushels by the Farmers Ware
house company. This company
has also purchased 1000 bushels of
old wheat at 80 cents per bushel.
Sacks are selling at I~2 cents.
There was limited number of bags
made at the penitentiary for this
season. 1t is claimed that that in
stitution was unable to secure all
the jute desired.

NAN DISAPPEARS,

The continued absence Of one George
Jones. colored. from his regular place
of business has alarmed his friends
and the matter was reported to the
police this morning, with the request
to, look for the man. He was known
as George" but the name Jones" is
not certain as he has given several
surnames at different times, Jones be-
ing among them.
He was formerly a barber in the
Star block, but became slightly de-
mented and lost his position, Lately
he has been taking care OF an Italians
house near the brickyard He was
last seen Sunday morning. He left the
house open but the chickens locked up
instead of letting them out az usual.
Jones is about sc years old and mar
ried. but his wife and children are
living apart from him. Since he was
not exactly responsible for. his &C.
tons, 1t is feared he may have wan
dered off or met with some accident
The police will look for him.

He will learn also that one OF tho
heaviest cuts In order to reduce the
expenses of the Territory, fell upon the

tory--the public schools, Investigation
will show him that the last Legislature
put through local self-government

IN element that ought to know better.
This opposition stood ready by. every
means Of Misrepresentation and decep-
ton to attempt to show that the estab-
lishment of American government In
the domestic affairs of the Territory
would increase expense. They would
readily charge up the additional ex.

ment whether the charge were as dis
honest as the populace of hell or not.
The Territory had reduced fnan-

had to carve its expense suit. The
militia was slashed out. There were
reductions all along the line. But the
, against the failure to appropriate for
the militia would have become hyster-
ical had the situation been met by in
creasing the tax rate sufficiently to
cover the militia expense.
The statement has been made locally
, that the War and Navy Departments in

| them. have intimated that the refusal
to appropriate for the militia might in
crease the sentiment for restricting the
franchise in Hawaii. Col. Church will
