PALOUSE, Wash, Aug. 20. (Special

grain, mostly wheat, each year, isear
Palouse there is a large area each
year Dut In oats, and that crop this
season Is better than tne wneai, ior
the latter crop is not harvesting quite
up to the expectations of a month ago.
when it was estimated the wnitman
County crop would amount to 9,000.000
bushel.
This is a cltv of about 1500 popuia

best of schools, large churches and no
saloons. The business houses all seem
to be doing a good business, but just
now the principal activities are cen
tered in the wheat fields, where the
harvest la in full blast.
One of the first things that attracted
mv attention after entering the town
was a large poster announcing that the
third annual harvest fair would oe neia
here on the first four days of October
next. This fair has come to be mostly
a stock show, which augurs well for
the country. In discussing general con
ditions hereabouts with Mr. B. M.
Schick, the Dronrletor of the Palouse
Republic, the only newspaper ot mt
town, I learned that tne settlers in mis
vicinity are turning their attention
Mt-Tv a-enerallv to dairying and hog-

There are iwg uuneiuBimo . .
