SPECIAL FAIR
PREMIUMS

A car of coal, pianos, separators
| manure spreaders, plows, sewing ma
| chimes, ranges tools-everything
known and beloved. of the rancher and
farmer seems to have been included
in the long list of special prizes to be
awarded at the Canyon County Fair
this year.
Something over 100000 in special
premiums are on the list already and
it is very probable that the list will
exceed $4,000 before the opening
day Of the best county fair in the en-
tire northwest.
There is apparent determination
and energy that makes it almost a
miracle for a man to escape the Siren
song of T. NJ. Nichol when he goes
out after special premium. Thirty
four. tons of coal will be distributed
in prizes for horses, CATTLE sheep,
hogs, and farm products.
The Kellerman and Wise piano
houses have both contributed beau
.tiful upright piano.
The lntermountain Harvester Co.,
were simply delighted at the oppor-
tunity to present some deserving far
mer one of their finest manure
spreaders.
The De Laycl and U. S. Cream
Separator people had quite a tussle to
see which could give the best separa-
tor-and both of them will charm
the heart Of any farmer.
The Penincular and Quick Meal
Range manufacturers had. it trans
PRED. been patiently waiting for an
opportunity to give three of their

of these ranges could charm the heart
of even John Look.
The Studebaker people proffered

HORTICULTURE
PROBLEMS SOLVED
(By H. w. Dorman.)

(By H. w. Dorman.)
The fruit growers of the northwest
the past year have been taught a
lesson that l believe will result in
much good for the industry OF the
entire northwest.
The very low prices obtained for
apples during 1912 is entirely due to
one cause, namely,
Distribution.
There is no organized effort on the
marketing. Each and every fruit
district, through its local or
ganization of the growers, ship
blindly to the big markets, each
racing with the other to get his ap-
pies there first, nd upon their arrival,
each trying to sell. Result is each
district, valley, organization or grow
er coming in competition with one
another. thereby each being the
cause of obtaining low values for
their products. With proper dstri-
button of the apples the returns
would be different
Apples in the big centers today are
very low, while 200 and 800 miles
from these centers apples cannot be
bought except at fruit stands by the
piece. selling higher than oranges.
Ordinarily the past years conditions
do not exist in relation to the north
west apple, as the eastern apple as a
rule does not come in competition
with the northwest apple in the late
markets, as their method of market
ing is such that their usually hard
winters puts their apples out Of con-
dition. This winter they have been
able to ship in bulk in carloads their
apples which naturally would sell Al
a very low price. thereby keeping
better grades off the market.

Sunday, making a total of about 20
cars so far this year. 1t is estimated
that the total shipment of cherries
from that section will be about 60 car

Reports have been received from
the country surrounding Ritzville III
dicating that the first cutting OF al
falfa, which had been cut just before
the heavy rains set in, has been COM
pletely ruined, and that which is still
standing has grown so rank u
woody as to be unfit for fodder.
Reports coming in from dairy1ng
districts in the Colville country indl-
cate that the entire first crop of al
falfa has been destroyed by rain
Thousands of tons have rotted in the
fields on the Columbia river and that
not cut has lodged from excessive
weight because of rain. Farmers are
hauling this out and dumping ID

chance to grow. Glover and timothy
have lodged somewhat, but the crop

SUPPLEMENT SHERMAN ACT
Anti Trust Law, Amended AS Pro-
posed, Will Be Drastic.

Anti Trust Law, Amended AS Pro-
posed, Will Be Drastic.
Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin
has introduced a broad and compre-
hensive supplement to the Sherman
antitrust law which, if passed by
congress, will make the Sherman act
even more drastic, in some respects,
than it is now. A feature of interest
in the measure is the prohibition OF
price-cutting by combinations for the
purpose of putting competitors out OF
business and giving the courts power
to fix prices of goods made by monop-
olies. If the latter favors big buyers
by giving them low prices the courts
have, under the terms of the bill pow
er to make the low prices apply to all
buyers.
1t is impossible to get a copy of this
bill because of the one-man flibuster
of Senator Jones, which has held up
the printing of all measures recently
introduced; therefore, it will be i'm
possible to give the bill in full, but an
analysis of the measure shows that it
describes nine classes of combinations
which, regardless of their extent, shall
be held absolutely to be unreasonable.
