AS a sample of how good the
quality of the grain is on the
prairie this year we quote the fol-
lowing: From 65 acres of wheat
and barley raised on the former
Hugh Beck place northwest of
Ferdinand Nick Kinzer this week
threshed 1888 sacks. This is no
exceptional yield but the grain
was of such fine quality that the
400 sacks of Little Club wheat
averaged 1877 pounds to the sack in
weight while 3o4 sacks of the
barley, in regular sized sacks,
averaged I25 pounds to the sack.
If there are any who can beat this
for quality let them speak up.

Speaking of large crops, we
know of a few in this vicinity
that will rank with any we have
heard of at other points on the
Urairie or in the Palouse country.
The 100 acres of White Russian
wheat harvested by Ben Von-
Tersch on his farm south of
town averaged between 40 and
Is bushels per acre. From 2OOI
acres of oats and barley thesh-
ed from the old Gerding farm
north of town a total of $4,000
bushels, or an average of 60
bushels to the acre, was secured.
Louis Asker has wheat waiting
for a thresher on his farm south
Of town that is fully expected
to average between 45 and SO
bushels to the acre. From three
fourths of an acre of his Seven
headed" variety of wheat on his
farm northeast of town S. E.
Smith threshed AT bushels,
which would be equivalent to a
yield of 62S bushels per acre.
Reports from Greencreek state
that Glen Wassmuth threshed
close to so bushels per acre of
Little Club wheat from his land
and his White Russian wheat is
Yielding fully as well.
The Trautmann Bros. theshed
from so acres of their land near
Greencreek an average of 104
bushels of oats to the acre.
These are only a few instances
and there are doubtless numer-
ods other yields that are fully as
heavy as the ones mentioned.
II such crops do not prove this
10 be a banner grain country we
dOnot know what it will take.
Land here will soon be as valu-
able as any of that in the
east and is a mighty good thing
to hold onto.
And much of the above grain
was raised in 'the strip of coun-
try near Cottonwood where rain
never falls"

H. L. Herzinger, formerly
editor of the Grangeville News,
is in the city and volunteers the
information that he is here in
hopes of establishing another
paper in Cottonwood. Ac-
uuainted as we are with condi-
tions here we must say we adj
mire his nerve but can hardly
commend his judgment in the
selection of a location, as two
papers will find it pretty slim
picking here for several years to
come.
Come out tomorrow and Sat-

val. You may never have an
other such opportunity. Stop
into the exhibit building and get
an idea of all things that can be
grown right here in your own
neighborhood. 1t will interest
you and fill you with amazement.
Then the sports and races will
amuse you and the big free

day with pleasure. Throw care
aside for once and enjoy your
self at Cottonwood's expense.

Several hundred acres of beans
are being harvested in the
country around Troy and are
yielding about nine sacks to the

nothing of the lack of pressure
in case of fire. 1t is now plan
ned to install a system with
capacity to supply a city Of
10000 population, all of the work
to be done this fall and early
winter. The work will be rush

pave the streets, for which
S166, 900 has been appropriated,

best of condition. The bond
issue was carried 1873 to So, a
two-thirds vote being necessary
