operate the double shift at but

make quite a saving each wear
besides more than doubling the
output of the mill. Considerable
new machinery was also recently
installed at the mill, which, with
tne new power, makes it one of
the best equipped mills in this

SPRING BARLEY
GOES II 1.3 BU.
One Crop at the Present Price
: Pays Full Value of Land
That Produced It.

Frank Puthoff, who has the
Aichlmayr farm just east of tow n
rented this year, finished thresh-
ing the crop there the first of
the week and secured yield CT
TIA bushels per acre from a field
OF spring sown blue barley. The
grain was sown on land that was
in hay last summer and was
plowed this spring. The yield
is a phenomenal one and beat the
white winter barley that was
sown on the balance of the land.
This was sown early last fall and
rather thick and stooled so heav-
lily that the yield was not as large
as it otherwise would have been.
Mr.. Aichlmayr contracted his
part of the crop this week at
$1.55 per hundred and says thet
at this price the crop will bring
as much this year as the land is
worth. And still there are men
to be found occasionally who
maintain that Camas Prairie
farm land will not pay interest
on its present valuation.

Easy Money For a Bright Idea.

The management of the Lewis
tom Charleston fair can now assure
the visitors they will not be COM
PEELED to go elsewhere to witness
all the best features of the north
west fairs. We have the flying
attraction, the beeman feature
and Buffalo Vernon as a fitting
complement of the best attrac-
tions.
Feeling confident of a big fair.
we are desirous of fittingly desig-
mating the occasion by some pop
ular slogan and we are therefore
offering SIS to any boy or girl
under the age of 18 years who
will propose the best one, and
the same amount to the one pro-
posing the best name for the
carnival features. 1t is recalled
that the worlds fair at Chicago
had its Midway" the st. Louis
fair its Pike" the Portland fair
the Trail" and we are informed
that Boise has adopted the big
Ditch" Therefore this plan.
The committee appointed by
President Mount to pass upon
and make the selection of the
best of each consists of Mayor l..
J. Perkins, of Lewiston, Mayor
Il. M. Yount, of Charleston, and
former Senator Henry Heitfeld,
president of the Lewiston Com
club. We ask any boy
or girl who will propose both or
either of above to send the same

Charleston fair, on or before Ser

GARDEN SPOT
OF THE WORLD
SO Lewiston Man Terms Prai-
ries But Says We Should
Raise More Stock.

The Camas and Nez Perc.
prairies are the garden spot o
the world" said D. H. Wallac,
of the firm of Daniels & Wallace
who has recently spent severa
days in the prairie sections. +"
believe | have visited about al
of the grain sections of the west
and have never seen anything
that compares with the prairie
country.
The farmers of that section,
however, are losing hundreds o1
thousands of dollars each year by
not having stock to consume the
feed and waste grain. In the
lower country we are compelled
to summer fallow to retain the
moisture in the soil, while up
there they summer fallow to kill
the weeds. We have but Is
inches of rainfall a year, while
they have an average of 26 inch
es. The land they are now sum-
mer following should be devoted
to forage crops that would pro-
vide an abundance of feed for
large herds of cattle, sheep,
horses and hogs. Stock should
now be running in their stubble
fields to gather up the grain the
machines have missed and the
output of livestock should be
doubled many times.
''The prairie country is destin-
ed to be cut into small farms.
Forty acres in that country will
eventually make good farm and
l expect to see that land sell for
5000 an acre within the next ten
years. When the farms are made
smaller, the farming operations
will become intensified and the
maximum possible production
will then be attained. When
this is accomplished the output
will be many times larger than
it is at the present time. Sat
