.UP-R|vER TIMOTHY
CROP BIGGEST EVER
MEADOWS ALONG PALOUSE
RIVER AND MEADOW CREEK
GIVING BIG YIELDS
(Palouse Republic.)

| While the PalouSe country will Ell
Joy the prosperity that comes with a
good wheat crop and good prices, the
up-river district is going to enjoy the
prosperity which follows good tin1o-
thy crop and good prices. The tmo-
thy district extends from Potlatch
east, as far as there is any cleared
land, the meadows having been en-
larged year by year, until normal
crop yields to the farmers along the
| wv, l. & M. many thousands tons OF
hay. Since the ealiest days of the
Palouse country timothy has been
the principal product along the up
per Palouse river. Before the build
ing of the W., |. & M. many tons of
fine hay were hauled from the up
river farms to this place, the nearest
railway point Those days $40 to
SIS ton was top price for timothy
hay, while this season the opening
price is S29 to $50, at the railroad.
With the timothy harvest well I'M
der way, the information is given out
from the farmers themselves, as well
as from persons who have visited the
district, that the timothy crop is as
big, if not bigger than any before
harvested in the territory, with the
hay of excellent quality. Yields of
two tons or better to the acre are
said to be the rule instead of the ex-
ception, while some pieces will go
easily three tons. A sample of timo-
thy standing about five feet high
was brought to The Republic office
this week from the L. L. Young ranch
at Princeton by A. J. Webster. Mr.
Webster states that the timothy on
the Young place will average close to
three tons to the acre, and there are
other pieces in the district equally as
good.
The farmers are busy cutting and
baling now and some are hauling to
the warehouses along the W., l. & M.
The weater in the spring and early
summer was ideal for the develop
ment of the crop and so far the har-
vest weather has been ideal.

this section has experienced in years,
occurred Thursday night. A light
rain fell and it did much to cool the
atmosphere and freshen all kinds of
crops. The rain will be of great
benefit to all kinds of vegetation, it
is believed. The thunder was the
heaviest and most continuous heard
here in years. 1t is reported that
several trees were struck by light
ming in the mountains east of town.
The weather is much cooler and more
pleasant today and it is hoped the
hot wave has been broken.

The Press and Ad Rates.

In this day of rapidly increasing costs
nearly everyone is protesting to High
Heaven. The butcher, the baker, the
candlestick maker all have boosted the
price of their wares. Newspapers
alone. in most cases. still serve the
public at the same old price. When
raise has been made, the protest
usually results in riot, but even so,
many riots are soon due. The cost OF
material, labor and in fact everything
going into the manufacture of news
paper, has increased from 100 TO 400
per cent in the past few years. has

adyistising, or the price of job work IN.

Even a schoolboy may figure out the
rates to be charged for advertising
space in order to cover the cost of
production. Many newspaper men are
just beginning to do SO. The raise is
going to come. and no apology will be
offered. A man does not apologize
for defending his life, and newspapers
are becoming tired of explaining why
they fight for existence.
To certain extent. newspaper men,
like preachers. serve the public thru a
love of humanity, but nowadays beef
steak is harder to get, and the fount
from whence the milk of human kind

any rate. dollars are becoming a neces-

Don't Call Father the The Old Man

Ichabod. we thot we heard you refer
IN vour sire this morning as the old
man" You are Is years of age. are
YOU not? Just so. This is just about
the age caliow youth has the LIST attack
of big head. You imagine at this
moment that you know it all. we see
by the cut of your trousers ana tne
angle of your hat. and the style o'
YOUR shoes and the swagger OF your
walk. that you are madly in love-with
Yourself. Some Of these are errors OF
voutb which we older ones can over
look, but it pains us to hear you speak
in tones of dsrespect Of one you should
never mention save by the sacred name
of father. He may not be your style
in the modern art Of making fool OF
himself, but 10 to he forgets more IN
week than you will ever learn. He
may enjoy his old pipe more than the
scraps of tobacco encased in delicate
rice paper. but he still is entitled to all
the reverence your shallow brain can
muster BY and by after you are thru
knowing it all and begin to learn some
thing. you will be ashamed to look in
the glass, and you will wonder where
the fool killer kept himself when you
were ripe for sacrifice. And then,
when the "old man" grows old and
weary of lifes toilsome journey, and
stops for the long rest. and you fold
his hands across his breast and take
the last look at face that has grown
beautiful in death. you may feel a
sting of regret that you spoke of him
IN such disrespectful manner. and
when you hear other sprouts of i'm
becility use the language that so
delighted you in the germinai period
you will feel like chasing them with a
stick and crushing their skulls to see
if there is any brain tissue on the in
side. - Stanberry Herald.
