Some alfalfa grown by l.. Il.
Hamblet, six miles northeast of
Colville, stands six feet high and
will cut five tons per acre in three
crops. W. A. Hughes has a bunch
of timothy grown on his ranch at
Crystal Falls over six high. He
also has some samples of grain
grown on north Main street of this
city. His flax measures four feet,
Mortgage Litter oats seven feet,
Shadeland oats nearly seven feet,
and Bumper Crop oats six feet.
Mr.. Hughes says his oats will
run close to $50 bushels to the
acre. Some Fortyfold, Martin
Amber and Jones Fife wheat
grown in Echo valley, a few
miles northeast of Colville, stand
five feet tall and will average 55
bushels per acre. A bunch OF
Hybrid wheat from a field
belonging to w. P. Grubb, six
miles southwest of here, is among
the samples and will run 40 or
more bushels to the acre. The
Worden ranch in Echo valley is
exhibiting some Bald barley that
will go 80 bushels to the acre,
and some Bearded barley from

Bountiful Crops as Usual
in the COlVille Country

Hay and grain in the Colville
valley are in excellent condition,
and large yields are certain.
Just south of the city, on the
Perras place fall wheat can be
seen which will run 45 to 30
bushels, and oats that will run
about rs. About 200 tons of tim
othy will be cut on this place.
Ray Bros. on the Bennett place
have oats 5 to 6 feet high that
will easily run rs bushels, and
the hay is excellent. On the
Foster place, which only a few
years ago supported a fine growth
of tulles, a stand of oats can be
seen which ought to run $50
bushels in places, showing what
was accomplished in retaining
the land by dredging the river.
TreadWell has taken some line
photos of grain on the johnson
place, where the grain yield will
beIheavy.
The Colville Land Company
has on display some excellent
samples of grains and grasses
grown on ranches near this city.
A bunch of Mammoth Red clover,
standing 43 feet high, is furnish
ed by Charles Thomas, four miles
northeast of Colville. The clover
will harvest four tons per acre in

rye seven sect tall that will har-
vest 20 bushels to the acre. Clay
Davis is displaying a fine sample
of tobacco which he grows on
his place northeast of town.
The south show window at Leo
Gordon's harness store is unusual
ly attractive this week. Mr..
Gordon is a cartoonist of ability
and has decorated his window
becomingly with drawings
prompted by the Chautauqua.
He has scenes of farmers travel
ing to the Chautauqua in differ
ent kinds of vehicles, including
big automobiles down to a mule
cart. In his cartoons everybody
is talking Chautauqua. It is
interesting to study his works of
art and notice the ideas he sets
forth.
W. A. Hughes has three kinds
of oats on display at the Colville
Land Company's office which he
grew on an acre of land belong
ing to Mrs. Ella Hanna on north
Main street. The tallest bunch
is the Mortgage Litter variety,
measuring seven feet; the Shade
land variety comes second being
just a trifle shorter, while the
new Bumper Crop oats are six
feet tall. The heads average 10
inches. Mr.. Hughes states that
the oats will run $50 bushels to

the acre. He also has some
Bluestem wheat on display that
is six feet tall, and a bunch of
flax that stands three and half
feet.
That Nobby Shop has a dis
play of grains and garden stuffs
in the show window that is
splendid evidence of what can be
grown in Stevens county soil.
The exhibits were furnished by
W. A. Hughes. There are three
turnips that are only about half
grown that weigh II, 81 and 10Y
pounds. Also some potatoes that
are not fully grown, any one of
which would make a meal for
two. The punches of grains and
grasses measure as follows: Oats
8 feet, timothy 81 feet, alfalfa 5
feet, clover a. feet. bluegrass 81
feet, wheat 4s feet.
Robert Wingham's clover field
is an excellent proof of the fer
tility of Stevens county soil. A
bunch of the clover measuring
five feet is on display at the City
Meat Market.

months trip to the Panama-Pa-
cifc exposition. Besides attend
ing the fair they visited with
relatives and took numerous side
trips, travelling as far south as
Los Angeles. They say the fair
is splendid, in some features sur
passing all other worlds fairs.
The electric illumination is mag
nifcent. Canada leads in agri-
cultural displays, with Washing
ton not far behind. The quality
of the Washington agricultural
products is equal to the best, but
Canada furnishes a larger dis
play. Mr.. Rich and his family
made the round trip in their
Studebaker, making the entire
trip of 1000 miles without any
breakdowns or delays on account
of the car. Mr.. Rich says the
trip seemed to do the car good, as
he can now climb greater grades
than when the machine was new.
In travelling to the fair they went
by way of Davenport and Walla
Walla, through central Washing
ton and Oregon and through the
east side of the Sacramento val
ley, and returned over the west
side road. In coming through
central Oregon they passed a
mail box belonging to VIM. G.
Spedden, but didn't see any men,
Der of the family. While on trip
Mr.. Rich purchased gasoline at
different places varying in price
from 10 cents to 30 cents, which
shows the difference in freight
ing conditions of the country.
They state that San Francisco
affords good transient accommo-
dations and the prices are not
exorbitant. The Rich family
immensely enjoyed the entire
two months vacation and say
that during their travels they
saw no place that suited them as
we'll as Colville. They observed
that the crops through California,
Oregon and Washington are look
ing fine. and that the yield in
vegetables and grains increased
in quality and abundance all along
the way on the homeward trip.

store was in charge of Fred
