It is not often that actual figures from the books of a great newspaper in" an important city are given to the public as was done In a recent law suit in Los Angeles. The big loss suf fered last year by the morning Tri bune and the evening Express, nub lished by Edwin T. Earl at Los An geles, amounting to over $275,000, Is significant in that it shows the com plete demoralization that recently has taken place is some cities in the news paper business. Th. Los Angeles Express Is an old newspaper and was making money up to two years ago. The Los Aneeles Tribune is a new paper established four or Jive years ago. .Each suffered a large part of the aggregate loss of $275,000. To what' extent the rising cost of doing business contributed to this re suit has not been stated, but It is a fair assumption that, the enormous prices exacted by paper manufactur ers had a great deal to do with it That many successful newspapers have been turned into losiner enter prises in the last year by the increase in their white paper bill can be read ily believed when one considers that the New York Times is required to pay $750,000 more for its white paper this year than it paid last year. The Chicago News is nnvlnir ne.trlv million dollars more tot its paper this year than last. Spokesman-Review, Returns From Alaska. After spending the past fifteen months in Alaska, Marshall Phelps, 3on of Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Phelps of this city has returned to the states. Mr. Phelps was engaged in mining work on the Copper River, 300 miles inland at Cordova. While good wages are paid in the north country, Mr. Phelps was not impressed with the climate, owing to the extreme cold. However he has now satisfied that desire of seeing Alaska and will now be content to remain in the states for some time to come. He says there is very little excitement in Alaska on account of th war. In that par ticular section where he was located Mr. Phelps says news came in at long intervals and it was an impossibility to keep up on current events. Harvest to Htart S(Hn. Pete Wightman, who was in the jlty the first of the week states har vest will start there soon. Haying n the creek has been in progress for ume time and the Alfialfa Lawn Dairy ranch has produced some fine ats again this year. Oats on that place last year yielded netter than 100 bushels per acre, although Mr. Wightman says the yield will not be so great this year owing to the fact that the grain has been grown en tirely without irrigation. Finley Has Big Crop While in lone last Saturday the editor met W. B. Finley, who farms In the northern part of Morrow coun ty. Mr. Finley says harvest is now in progress on his farm where the Wm. Padberg crew is working daliy. Wheat sown on summerfallow land Is making 15 bushels per acre ac cording to Mr. Finley and he has 800 acres of such grain. The barley has also made a good yield and he expects to clean up $12,000 on his 1917 crop. Start on Grain Elevator.
