cess to the ocean but by the way of the
Snake and Columbia rivers, requiring
SIX transhipments to load the wheat
upon an ocean vessel at an inferior, ex-
pensive, and not at all times. accessible
seaport, heretofore costing twice as much
to ship the wheat to San Francisco as it
could be sold for at the place of depart
ure; that is, when it is worth 81 20 in
San Francisco. it will command only 40
cents per bushel in Lewiston or Walla
WallA. The railroad would make rea-
sonable profit by transporting this wheat
from the Upper Columbia to Seattle for
20 cents bushel, and from here it could
be shipped to Japan Or China for less,
and to Liverpool for not to exceed cts.
more than from San Francisco. This
world double the value of the wheat to
the producer.
In Northern Idaho. Eastern Oregon
and Washington there is not less than
100 miles square, or 6, 400, 900 acres of as
good lands as those above described, all
similarly situated in regard to trans
portation. If one-tenth of these lands
were cultivated, the product would be
%, 400, 900 bushels, the transportation
of which, at 20 cents busheI, would
amount to $4,4SO,O 900. Abundant ex.
pertinent has demonstrated that there is
no better wheat growing region on the
continent. The average yield of wheat
per acre is double that of any of the old
Northwestern States, and better than
of California for succession of years.
and this, too, in climate unsurpassed
by any of the States east of the Rocky
Mountains for mildness, equability ard
salubrity.
There are no two sections so admirably
adapted to an interchange of products
as those which this railroad will con-
meet. This has the best seaport upon
tho Pacific coast, and the nearest to the
centre of the great commercial belt of the
world, surrounded with inexhaustible
supplies of the chief staples Of manufac,
ture and commerce-lumber, iron and
coal. That endowed with prolific soil
of unbounded resources, and only laek-
ing in those elements OF wealth, comfort
and prosperity which this can supply
to the great profit and advantage of both
sections. Here nature has supplied all
that is necessary for the unhounded
growth and prosperity of the two sec
tions, which require only the enterprise
and energy of man to unite them to re-
alize all the material advantages which
are most struggled for in this world.
That this enterprise will abundantly pay
requires no argument or mathematical
calculation to demonstrate. The field is
bread enough, the demand is sufficient
to give ample and 'rsmunerate employ
ment to the railroad to the extent of its
carrying capacity.

forty townships have been subdivided
in North Idaho, outside of the Nez Perce
reservation, and all. or nearly all, are in
Nez Perce county. These embrace but
"a small Quantity of timbered lands, but
mostly lands ready for the plow. These
surveys amount to LAO squire miles, or
921, 500 acres, or 5.760 farms Of 100
acres each. Full one-half of this land is
susceptible Of producing an annual crop
of wheat which will average thirty~fve
bushels per acre. Butw will suppose
we have it settled upon, and one tenth
Of it cultivated in the producing of grain,
we will then have an annual product
from 80, 100 acres, amounting to 8, 1926

ModerWell's Business.

We hardly think Mr.. Moderwellis exact
ly the kind of man the farmers, business
men aud industrial citizens would prefer to
have for their representative in the state
senate. In an article regarding his nomi-
nation, the Kewanee Independent says:
He is, we understand, a very fit repre-
sentative of the party, who do not make
merit or fitness test for office. Moder-
wei IS an attorney, but ranks SO low at the
oar that he Is compelled to turn his atten

There was an informal meeting of off
GERS and members of the Old Settlers So
ciety last evening the llth) at the office
of \. +. Cutter, to take some action in re-
gard to the funeral of Mr.. Norris, and the
following honorary pail bearers were APP

The following resolutions were also
adopted:
Resolred, That the Old Settlers of Rock

death of their brother and ex-president,
Jacob Norris, and tender their warmest
sympathies to his scattered family.
RESOLVED, That the thanks of the Old
Settlers of Rock Island are hereby tender

and family for their devoted and unrcmit-

ness in the absence of his kindred.
ResOtred, That as a last tribute of re-
spect we will each and all of us endeavor
10 follow the remains of our deceased
brother to his last resting place in Chippi-

THE ARGUS has taken no part for or
against any of the gentlemen spoken OF as
probable candidates for the Independent
Reform nomination for congress in this
district, and does not intend to do so. 1t
has endeavored to treat all the gentlemen
spoken of fairly, and hopes for harmonl-
Gus union of all the opposition to Hender-
son on good man, representing correct
principles. We have copied articles from
other papers, speaking of probable candl-
dates, in order that our readers might see
what is said of them. The Moline RerteC

THE candidates named thus for tn
congressional nomination are Coll. III. FL
lott, of Princeton and Hon. Chas. Dun
ham and Major Jas. Allan, of Geneseo
1t is understood that Mr. Durham would
rather wait two years than enter the fielC
this fall; and that Major Adams chances
are too small to be worth estimating. L

Never a Clergyman,

The tnio" is Incorrect in saying that
the late Jacob Norris was once "a Baptist
preacher. Mr.. Norris was never Bap-
fist preacher or clergyman. of any sort.
He was sometimes joked by his famiIiars
with having been preacher-but it was
only joke, though it had just enough OF
foundation out of which to make a story of
that sort. In early days, here, Mr.. Norris
was member of what was called the
Campbellite church, and at revival meet
ings he used often to talk to the people on
the subject of religion; and whenever the
clergyman Was absent, of Sunday, Mr.,
Norris would conduct religious services, as
laymen often do in most denominations.
This is what gave rise to the story. But
he never was and never pretended to be
clergyman.

THE GRossEsr OUTRAGE OF ALL"

The Cambridge Chronicle, Ia Republi
can paper) in its report of the Princeton
convention, says:
On motion, the delegations from the
several counties were authorized to select
each one member of district committee.
Bureau presented S. G. Paddock Lee,R.
H. Mellen; Rock Island, l.. NJ. Haverstick !;
Putnam, VIM. Durley. Henry was divid-
ed and hung fire. A.W. Albro was a can
didate for the position and actively can,
vassed the delegation. They balloted, and
Albro and n. II: Pratt had an equal mum
| Der of votes, and r. Il. Steele one or two
less. Albro then made a motion that the
chairman should appoint the member oil
the committee from Henry county There
was nobody to second so extraordinary
proposition as that, and the delegation
balloted again, when X. +. Steele had a
majority of the votes and was announced
as the member of the committee for Hen.
ny county. -,
Now came the grossest outrage of all
1t was studied insult for the rule and
ruin delegation from Rock Island to pre-.
sent l.. NJ. Haverstick as their member OF
the district committee. He is the most
unscrupuuus, the most contemplate, the
most characterless OF all who have been en-
engaged in this business. But that was
not enough; they would heap insult on
top of insult, and in their closing act in
that drama of Spite, after MIR. Hawley
had come before them and accepted his
defeat as none of them were capable of
doing, and nobly put from him every feel
ing Of resentment and pledged his hearty
cooperation in the action of the district
they would show to the district that they
were utterly incapable Of approaching the
magnanimity of his action. They asked
Mr. Paddock of Bureau to make motion
that that convention should choose chair
man for the district committee, and to
propose the name of l.. NJ. Haversti,k.
Mr.. Paddock consented and did it Rock
Island seconded the motion, and Rock Isl
and and part of Bureau and part of
Henry voted for it, and it was declared
carried. Not more than dozen delegates
beside the Rock Island delegation, were in
the hall when it was done-a small minor
ity of the convention. 1t was an unheard-
of-thing for convention to do at any time.
1t was designed and taken as a last gra-
tuitous insult to every friend of MIR. Haw-
ley-peculiarly atrocious after his defeat
and his graceful and generous speech.
Decent men on the committee properly
and promptly announced that they would
never recognize it, and the Rock Island
rule or ruin faction are alone responsible
for the separation of those delegates in
bitterness when but moment before their
shirt had been cOnciliatnry

Judge Peasants and the Beer Clubs.


Judge Peasants lid decide that if beer
clubs were properly organized they could
exist. True it is that they would not be in
defiance ofthe state law, but in accordance
with rights guaranteed by the constitution
of the state. The Judge said the late
club was guilty of selling liquor, and fol
that reason was fined. The test he APP
piled was this; TO uhom does the liquor be,
long uhen it reaches the club room! The
Judge said the liquor belonged to the men
whose money was used in paying for said
liquor, and when new members came in
and paid for and drank of this liquor, the
real owners were selling.
The Judge, plainly and with emphasis,
said that one man had right to buy his
own liquor and drink it; and if one had,
two had aud if two had, a hundred had !;
but that liquor must belong to those who
drank it or gave it away.

about the southern outrages and the me-
cessitv for the perpetuation of Republican
ascendaucy in order to ''queneh the still
smoldering fires of the wicked rebellion,
whereat a man in the audience said: 'Oh
