INCREASED COST OF
PRINTING PAPER

The publishers of daily and weekly
newspapers and the proprietors of
job printing establishments have
been, figuratively speaking, getting
1t in the neck" as regards the in
creased cost of running their bust
ness. All kinds of printing stock.
from plain white print paper on
which newspapers are printed, to
the fine stock used by job printers
in turning out different kinds of
work.
Not only has paper been steadily
advancing, but all other kinds of ma,
terial that enter into the makeup of
a newspaper have gone soaring, and
there is no telling when or where the
upward trend of prices will stop.
Many of the weekly papers
throughout the United States, and
especially the daily papers, are cut
ting down the number OF pages to
what is actually needed to contain
the news and advertisements in or
der to economic and come some
where near playing even on their
income and output. Some of the
daily papers have cut down the mar
gins on each page of the paper, fig
uring that even that small saving
will amount to large aggregate dur
ing the course of year.
The country paper is, perhaps
the hardest hit of all, for where the
daily paper can arbitrarily increase
their advertising rate and still retain
their advertising patronage, the
weekly paper is handicapped in this
respect to great extent, though
they are as fully entitled to advance
their rates when the cost is more
as the merchant is when the cost or
4 his goods is advanced.
Subscription and advertising rates
of most of the weekly papers are the
same under the high increased cost
of production as they were before the
exhorbitant increases were put into
effect, and it is only a question Of
time when they will either have tt
raise their rates to correspond tt
higher costs, or go out of business.
AS one well-known weekly news
paper publisher put it: THE read
ing and advertising public should b.
just as willing to pay slight in
crease for their service when cost
production go up, as they do to thu
merchant when he advances tn,
prices of his goods to meet the rails,
he has to pay the wholesaler"

w. s. PARKHURST IN THE
RACE FOR STATE AUDITOR

w. S. Parkhurst, editor of the
Riehfield Recorder, was in the city
few hours last Monday. Mr.. Park
hurst who is known over the state
as Farmer Bill" has entered the
race for the nomination for. state
auditor on the Republican ticket
Mr.. Parkhurst is the owner of a
Carey act farm near Richfield. Ho
is also PRESIDENT of the Idaho Cham
Der of Commerce and a director of
the Mutual Creamery company. He
is also a writer of repute and an oc,
casional contributor of articles on
Idaho to several leading magazines.
Although he has been a resident
of Idaho only about eight years,
he is deeply interested in it's up
building, and the articles he has
written for eastern magazines and
newspapers has resulted in bringing
a large number of settlers into this
state. He has made careful study
of land matters in Idaho, especially
as regards the Carey act projects
and If elected to the office of auditor
he would make a valuable member
of the state land board. He has
been lifelong Republican and be-
fore coming to Idaho from Kansas
he spent a number of years in the
service of the Santa Fe railroad
company.
The Republican newspapers of the
Southern part of the state are a
unit in support of Farmer Bill,
not so much because he is lone OF
the boys" but because they feel that
he ia inst the sort Of a man that is
needed in the auditors office.

IDAHO MAN TELLS OF
EXPERIENCE IN MEXICO

From a letter written by one of
the Montpelier boys who is with the
Second Idaho Infantry at Nogales,
we publish the following:
about two weeks an Idaho NAH
borrowed gray sack suit from his
captain and crossed the dead line
ana penetrated the very depths of
Sonora. The next that was heard
OF him was when he entered Camp
Little at Nogales, July 23rd. All
were glad to talk with him, and es-
pecially to hear him tell of the life
of Mexican people in long story.
The first words he spoke were,
I sure felt like hugging that U. S.
sentry The next time l go into
Mexico I'll have the Second Idaho
regiment behind me, His clothes
sure spelled the word hardship.
He found large bodies of Carran-
"a troops. These ranged in ages
from seven years to men with gray
hair and bending shoulders. They
seemed to have plenty of ammuni-
tion, carrying three belts around
their waists and one across each
shoulder, about $50 rounds. They
carry side arms of all descriptions
ranging from 20 calibre pistols to AZ
Colts, and several different kinds
of knives or daggers.
'The transportation of the troops
was made in double deck sheep
trains They wer loaded and un.
loaded like so many sheep.
The travelling done by the Idaho.
an was in old time coaches filled to
the very rim. He sat in a double
seat with five. The cars were filled
with people carrying bird cages,
dogs, bedding, food and water
enough to last to the end of their
destination.
Naturally food stuffs are scarce as
hens teeth, and strict laws regard
ing expectation of food stuffs are
enforced. He at one time paid sic
of Mexican money for a cup of cot
fee. No wonder the poems are found
in outlaw bands.
THE general feeling of the greas.
ers is of a Jealous and suspicious ma,
ture, and not so much of the wal
spirit.
Among the few things he brough,
back with him was several rolls oi
exposed films, the camera being lost
some Mexican money of the NJ G
(no good) rulers of the past three OF
four years, bought at four and 9
half cents on the dollar, some Mexi
can cigars and man who can smoke
one without getting black in the
face is real smoker Besides these
he brought back a head full of in,
formation and knowledge of the
greaser people"

From close observation Of the habits

ing which was one of the vital qualifi,
cations Of his forefathers In the siren
uous struggle for existence. They have
secured the country in the neighbor'
hood of the camp and won cells by the

The ability of the sturdy Maori re

constant source of wonder to his pale
