three big houses whose paper is widely
distributed should fail, what would be the
effect on country buyers? If it caused
general cessation of purchases, il would
bring on more failures, and there is al
ways danger Of a general demand for
liquidation which viii absolutely PROSTATE

Lewiston-C -Clarkston Fair.

The News editor visited the Lewis
tone Charleston fair Friday and Saturday
and desires to express appreciation Of
the very able management of the big
show. There was not the least sign Of
any manner of grating, the fair man
agement and the Lewiston city author
tiles uniting in eliminating this too
prevalent feature of most fairs. For
this the News desires to commend the
officials most heartily, and to urge the
people of this section to show their ap-
proval of good, clean entertainment by
hereafter giving these fairs their best
support.
In the big pavilion the exhibits were
excellent. Fruits, vegetables and
grains were prettily displayed, and for
size, quality and variety were a credit
to their respective sections. The
great variety of products shown was a
marvel even TO one who has resided in
this section many years, and was elo-
quent evidence of the rapid progress
being made. 1t also demonstrated
how valuable fairs are to this section,
keeping, as they do, the people at
home and abroad, better informed as
to the real value of oul soil, and the
great variety of things possible to sue
cessfully produce.
The live stock exhibits, while not
extensive, we're really very fine. We
think the cattle shown would compare
favorably with the best show herds in
the United States. A swo-year-old
bull weighing a ton and another, year
older, weighing around 2700, were tc
be seen. Cows, so fat and pretty that
they resembled the pictures in the
stock journals, were really on exhibi-
ton. This exhibit was worth going
miles to see.
The racing programs were above the
average for western country fairs, and
in many instances Of very high class
Particularly was this true Of the harnes:
events. The attendance was large ano
the fair big success.

Troy Prunes.

F. M. Green this week started the
fires in the Troy prune dryer but has
been unable to get sufficient help to
properly operate the plant. There is
already something like fifty tons of fruit
to be dried, and perhaps more, but
even this amount will make a run Of
almost month. The Troy dryer has
a capcity of 5000 pounds of dried fruit
per day. Mr.. Green is paying $40
per ton, the highest price ever paid
here for green prunes, and makes
the raising Of prunes very profitable.
Mr.. Green has few boxesAof last year S
dry still on hand and it might be in
line to suggest that one way boost for
home enterprise is to get full Of
Troy prunes."

A Big Apple Crop.

J. P. Strickler, the present owner Of
the Scallon apple orchard Of 1000 trees
just at the top Of American ridge hill
south OF town, is here this week look
ing after his crop which is one of the
best in the county. II is estimated
there will be somewhere between ten
and twenty thousand boxes of first class
apples, enough at present prices to
net Mr.. Strickler every cent he paid
tor the orchard a year ago. Beside
this orchard is six acre orchard that
last year produced the best fruit of the
two tracts, being the same age and OF
about the same variety. This season
the six acre orchard was neither sprayed
nor pruned and the result is a total
failure so far as marketable fruit is con-
cerned. AS soon as Mr.. Strickler pur-
chased the adjoining orchard of 1000
trees he put men at work and this
spring at the proper time the trees
were pruned and sprayed. During the
year the orchard was properly cultivated
and now at harvest time the result
OF the two methods is so apparent
that blind man can see. One is a
failure, tangled mass of weeds and
sickly, bushy, willowy trees with
small, worny disgusting fruit, the other
magnificent orchard that will net
the owner not a cent less than $40, 900.
1t is the most conspicuous example of
the two methods of raising apples we
ever saw, and is sufficient to convince
the most skeptical that it pays to take
proper care of the orchard.

Timber Is Valuable.

Even though there is just at this
time apparently no market for timber
the fact remains that timber is valuable
and ought to be commanding much
better price than is at the present time
paid in this section, or ever has
been paid here. AS an example OF
what timber is really worth here, and
what the mills can afford to pay. the
News desires to cite a sale made few
days ago in which Spokane timber
dealer paid Uncle Sam 81 DER thous-
and stumpage for everything on a tract
in the St. Joe country. A little over
eight million feet brought over $32, 900
Here two million foot claim goes beg
ging at three thousand. 1t looks like
there was an understanding among buy
ers in this section and determination
to keep prices down. What the timber
holder should do is to hold on. Tim
Der is valuable. 1t will not long GO
begging. The history of Wisconsin
will be repeated in Latah county.

New Post Offices.

Notice has been received by Post
master Olson of Troy that the post office
OF Anderson is no more. 1t has been
moved to Deary and in place of M.
Kluver, resigned, o. c. Jorgenson has
been appointed Uncle Sans agent at
Deary.
1t is also reported that the post office
at Avon is to be moved farther west to
the siding known on the railroad time
card as Avon. This will be a mile
from the present location.
Helmer has also new post Office,
and as this is short distance east oi
Jansville it is the opinion here that
that office will be discontinued. The
government is making final arrange
ments to discontinue the stage line be-
tween Troy and Collins, turning the
work over to the new railroad. There
is to be general change to meet the
new order of thirgs. A daily mail is
to take the place Of the tri-weekly stage.

Investigation has brought to light
the fact that there has been a marked
increase in the amount of grain deliv-
cred to Troy warehouses this season,
and particularly gratifying is the fact
that there has been large increase in
the number OF farmers who for the first
time delivered their grain to Troy.
This very pleasing condition is the re-
suit of fair dealing on the part of the
local buyers and the other fact that the
Troy market has been the very best in
the comfy. And it is fine thing for
Troy. The reputation OF being the
best trading point and the best market
in the county means a great deal and
much credit is due those responsible
for this condition. They are doing a
great deal for their town. They are
the best kind Of boosters. Far as we
have been able to ascertain the farmer;
are entirely satisfied with the treatment
they have received this season in Troy

Whitman Out of Debt.

This (Friday) afternoon Whitman
county bonds will be burned on the fair
grounds, which means that Whitman
county is entirely out of debt. This
will be done with a hurrah without
doubt, as, indeed, the people have a
right to make noise and indulge in
enthusiasm. The indebtedness was
incurred during the hard times in the
nineties, but by good management and
persistent effort the work Of wiping it
out has been accomplished. Few
counties in any state of the Union can
make the boast that we can-out ol
debt. Again we pat ourselves on the
back and say hurah for Whitman. =

Latah County Soil Is Rich.

Bowman Espy, pioneer resident
of Latah county, four miles east OF
Palouse, has come to the conclusion
that this is a peach country, and accor-
ding to the Palouse Republic, has pro-
duced some very strong evidence IN
support Of his claim. The Republic
says: Bowman Espy, one OF the success
full farmers in the territory northeast OF
town, rises to testify to the lact that the
.Palouse country is peach producer.
Mr.. Espy brought to the Republic
Office this week box Of exceptionally
fine peaches grown in his orchard
The trees upon which they are grown
are but three years old. Mr.. Espy says
this territory, instead Of getting it: i.
peaches from Snake river district vii

Regulation That Regulates.

Americans are prone to consider
Englishmen as being very conservative
and nonprogressive, but in many de-
partments Of government they are far
ahead OF our own nation. For instance,
Canada has a railroad commission,
vested with such powers that it can and
does really regulate the railroads and
vet railroad development is progressing
at an amazing rate in the Dominion and
the railroads do not complain that the
regulation is irksome or that it Injuries
their business.
Here are some of the things that the
Canadian railroad commission is en-
powered to do:
1t may compel the abolition Of grade
crossings or compel the railroad com
panies to construct subways or over
head crossings.
It may compel changes in timetables
and require the putting on Of addition
al trains to meet the traffic.
1t may regulate the distribution oI
freight cars if the question Of discrim-
ination be raised.
It may compel the construction o
switches or sidings for the accomoda
ton Of industries.

A Bic Annie.

Miss Ona Tucker, daughter of Mrs.
E. H. Atherton, came in during the
week from the. Atherton homestead
about eight miles from Orofno, and
as sample of the kind Of
soil in that part of Idaho, presented
the News editor with monster apple
that YVES raised by a neighbor on an
adjoining homestead. The apple was
produced on three-year-old tree and
on ground that had been in cultivation
only five years. Idaho is certainly a
wonderful state, full Of wonderful re-
sources, and capable of maintaining a
population many times in excess OF its
present number. 1t is great country
and there is no wouder that even the
girls become enthusiastic and present
the editor with monster apples. But
that is the way to assist in building up
country. No editor can write with
out something to write about, and not
even the News editor can boost without
the wherewith. When we write about
this country and its resources we desire
to give just the plain facts and have
never knowingly told falsehood about
what this section can grow. We don't
have to. The eastern people won't
believe the truth.

October Strawberries.

The News acknowledges receipt Of a
box Of large, lucious, red-cheeked
strawberries few days ago, the gift of
M. C. Clark Of American ridge. For
favor these October berries compared
quite favorably with the earlier crops
and speak volumes for the quality of
soil and climate of American ridge.
About the time we had finished samp-
ling these Potlatch berries we looked
over the Palouse Republic and there
read of another Latah county farmer
who is picking strawberries in October.
Here is the item: Gus Danielson, who
lives four miles east of Palouse and
who is known because of the excellent
class Of small fruits which he markets
in season, is now harvesting his second
crop Of strawberries. The berries are
lucious, and to say the least, are lux
ury at this season.
