On the John p. Hronek farm,
about nine miles southwest of
this place, Arthur Van Steen-
berg has a 20-acre patch of po-
tatoes- which 20 acres he prac-
tically rescued from just merely
laying fallow for the season.
The patch includes 200 rows d
quarter of a mile long, and from
hills thus far dug a yield of
1900 to 1900 sacks is promised.
Those who have experimental
along this line claim that this
ground will produce a better
crop of wheat next year for hav-
ing been in spuds this season.
This crop has been well taken
care of and is yielding a choice

either seed or food, and should
bring at least a dollar sack.
Mr.. Van Steenberg has operated
it as a sort of side line, and it
is not hard to figure that he is
going to have out of it a profit
of around 5000 tidy little
sum to invest in Christmas pres
ents, a trip to California, or any

LEWIS COUNTY SECOND
High in Honors With Farm Gar
den and Orchard Exhibit
at Spokane Fair.--Aso-
tin First.

Among the greater attractions
at the Spokane Fair this week
are the elaborate exhibits of
their principal crop products of
80 counties in the Inland En-
pire. That Lewis county was
running the field strong race
for first place all along the line
is borne out by the fact that
she got second prize in grains,
second on general artistic dis
play, second in grains and
grasses and third in vegetables
and root crops. And many con-
tend that her fine display en-
titled her to first place in the
general exhibit.
The hon0rs won by this ex-
hibit of our county's farm pro-
duets are very much worth try
ing for, but the farreaching ben
efits resulting in an advertising
way are inestimable and will
rebound to the county's interest
for years to come, for thousands
and thousands of people there
saw what we produce and the
fine impression viii be lasting.
The Lewis County Fair manage
ment deserves much credit for
putting this exhibit over so ef-
fectively, for Lewis won more
money than any other county
in the show.
Asotin county, Washington,
carried of the honors in the
county exhibits in the agricul-
tural department according to
A. A. Kelly, superintendent. AS.
otin took first for the most ar
tistic display, first on vegetables
and root crops and third OH
grasses and forage crops.
Whitman county was first in
grain, with Lewis county, Idaho,
second; Kootenai county, Idaho,
third, and Idaho county fourth.
Koofenai got><first on grains
and grasses, with Lewis second;
Asotin third and Nez Perce
fourth.
Following Asotin on vege-
tables and root crops were Ben
ewah county, Idaho, second I;
Lewis, third, and Idaho fourth.
In artistic displays Lewis was,
second, Nez PerPe third and
Kootenai fourth.
The county, community and
grange exhibits are exception
ally numerous this year and fill
three sides of Agricultural hall.
They show a wide variety Of
agricultural products and visi..
tors comment on the quality of
the corn shown by many OF
them. Canned fruits and vege-
tables are shown in many dis
plays.
Sweet potatoes are shown by
Idaho county and the Camas
prairie section, while Lewis
county shows tobacco plants.

Our old Missouri friend and
neighbor John Wilson, who has
made his home in Montana the
past five years and who has
been on this prairie during the
present harvest to get a feel OF
farming conditions here, having
some notion of investing, was
in to talk over the yesterdays
with us Monday. John was an
honest farmer up in the north
east corner Of Linn county, Mis-
souri,, until his friends elected
him to the office of clerk of the
circuit court, and there it was
that we used to spin yarns witt
him and bone him for job work
and swap "star" and "horse
shoe" He is moving his family
Ito Charleston to spend the win
ter, but is likely to be soaring
around up here most any tins
for among their vehicles they
have three-passenger aero
plane, which is found very con
venient in touring these hill

Andersons Moving to Spokane

For some time past Post
master j w. Anderson and his
son and assistant II. G. Ander-
son and their families have beer
making plans to remove to Spo-
kane at the expiration Of the
formers commission as post
master here, which is on the
9th of this month. Last week
II. G. accompanied his household
goods to that city, which were
sent through by motor truck,
and he returned Monday to see
his wife and son, George off
this morning. They will visi1
with relatives there a short time
and then go to Cheney, where
Mrs. Anderson will attend the
Normal and George the high
school. But their home will be
in Spokane, where they will
spend the week-ends during the
school term.
Messers. j w. and H. g. will
continue to conduct the post
office here until, Bascom Bill
lups, the only applicant for the
position, has received his COM
mission from the department,
which is daily expected.
On Tuesday evening a public
reception was given at the Chris
tian church in honor Of these
good people, and many were
there to greet them and have a
final visit with them before
"Godspeeding" them to their
new home. A very excellent
program was given which was
interspersed with appropriate
talks by j. w. Henderson, Rev.
f. A. Flora, Miss Blanche Sweet
and Van Emerson, to which IL.
G. Anderson very touchingly re-
piled.
Since Nezperce was quite
young it has known and classed
among its most highly esteemed
citizens Col. and Mrs j. w. AM
derson, Mr.. and Mrs. II. G. An
derson and their son George.
During their earlier residence
the two men were engaged in
the drug business here and for
the past eight years they have
been in charge of the postoffice.
They have taken active parts in
our public life, business, social
and religious, and little has
transpired Of wholesome const
quence to the community that
has not felt their participation
or influence. And the two la
dies, while most charming home
makers, have had a large share
in our social and church. life,
and many is the youthful Nez-
percer who owes his excellent
start in school to Mrs. III. G. An
derson, who has conducted the
primary department of our pub
lie schools most efficiently most
of the last dozen years.
lit can truthfully and fairly
be said that the efforts of these
people in our community have
always been for good. Living
clean, Straightforward lives and
meeting their obligations square
r. they earned the respect and
esteem which all give them and
which makes us say good bye
falteringly and wish we could
delay the parting.
