Trying Times for Newspapers.
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

cording to Mr. Finley and he has 800
acres of such grain. The barley has
