THE NEW GREST.MILL.

The new mill of Brearley & Co., is
now in full blast and manufactures a
fine quality Of four which we have
tested. It was the first turned out of
the mill. The first time the water was
turned on to the wheel it started all the
machinery in motion which, the miller
says all worked to charm. Scores of
persons have visited the premises to see
the new mach merry operate. So many
having predicted failure of the enter
prise, as some do all and every enter
prise in Lewiston which they do not
start themselves. Crackers and false
prophets can be had hereabouts at a
discount. The market is sometimes
overstocked. Some few breaks have
occurred in the ditch and some caves of
its banks have occurred, but not as
many as often occur in a new ditch on
turning a good head Of water into it
for the first time. No man who knows
anything about water power, and who
has seen that furnished by this ditch
can gainsay the fact that it is complete
success, and what the people of Lewis
ton should have had ten years ago t.,
aid in building up the place. Thous.
ands of dollars would have been saved
to the people Of Lewiston had this ditch
and mill been constructed ten years ago
md given encouragement to farmers to
produce wheat for grinding at this
point, instead of buying all our -four

lost, but the chances for our redemption
ire by no means forloru if We but make
he effort at this late day The main
point is for US to Sec ourselves and our
position as others on the outside see us.
We then will be induced to bestir our

THE BRIDGE AGAIN.


ETY. of having free bridge across tn
Clearwater river opposite Lewiston, W,
learn that our citizens, especially in tn,
country adjacent have discussed tn,
pros and cons of the question quite free
ly, and all who want to do business il
Lewiston are in favor of bridge. Blu
the objection lies in the source whence
the money is to come to pay for its con
struction. 1t is at once conceded that
no individual or company of men will
invest their money to build free bridge
for the dear people, and that to have
such bridge the county must provide
the means in some way, or that it will
not be constructed. We did hear one
man say that he thought Congress
would make the appropriation for that
purpose, if our delegate would only
present the facts in the case, and he
did seem to be sincere in his belief in
aid from Congress. But the more
sincerity he manifested in this belief the
more we deemed him to border On lu-
macy. The first thing to be considered
is the probable cost of good bridge.
We are not bridge builders nor can we
say with more than approximate accur.
acy what would be the expense of the
required structure. We have seen
many bridges and heard their estimated
cost. They Were not located in so ex-
pensive district as is this except in
one instance and that was the bridge
crossing Salmon river between Florence
and Warrens. That is wire bridge
with a span of about $50 feet. 1t was
built several years ago when labor was
very high and treights and material ,
high in proportion. All the lumber
used was whipped sawed and hauled by
hand down the mountain about three
miles. The wire was packed into camp
in coils of single strand and made into
rope on the ground, and the whole first
cost of this bridge, including abutments
and aprons was reported to us by the
Grst builders and owners to be less than
$4,000. The same structure here at
the present day would not cost more
than one half that sum. As we have
about double the span of the Salmon
river bridge to extend across the Clear.
water at Lewiston we see no reason
Why $4,000 will not be ample to build
4 suspension bridge here, suited to the
necessities and wants of our people.
The interest on this amount annually ,
would DO $1,000 at legal rates in this
erritory. 10 pay the annual interest !

But If We voluntarily, blindly and
recklessly throw away one half the
money power 80 essential to resump-
ton, that promised boon, it Is to be
feared, will be indefinitely deferred.
On the other hand, IL we accept the
means Providence has provided in
our great mead, the country and peo-
pie will soon rejoice In resumption
and prosperity.
Practically the Governments which
have expelled silver are not benefited
by its exclusion from their currency.
Germany, with her single Standard
and with the gold extorted from
France, was never in less prosper
GUS condition,
Resumption at az early q day az
practicable is an absorbing and para
mount interest. 1t vitality concerns
the welfare Of the people and the
honor CT the country. It should be
aided in every practicable way by the
Government, the banks and the peo-
pie. Congress, if it had not been in
competent or Indifferent, could have,
as Congress did after the war of 1912,
done much to facilitate resumption
A return to specie payments can
be made easy or hard-easy by inspir-
ing confidence and union, or hard by
exciting distrust and denunciation.
Resumption is national question
and should be so conducted as to
unite all sections, all classes and all
parties. Paper money Isl as indispen-
sable as gold or silver. Indeed we
are far more largely indebted to
"rags," as it ia now the fashion to
characterize bank notes, for our ma
tional prosperity, than to silver or
gold. In its most deprecated condi-
ton paper money subsisted our fore
fathers during the Revolutionary
war. Paper money carried our coun.
try through the war with England in
1872. Paper money preserved our
Government and Union. Without
paper money from I776 to 1876 we
should have made poor show at the
Philadelphia centennial. With me-
talic currency our progress would
have been very tardy. The forests
would not have disappeared, nor
would villages and cities have grown

paper money. With nothing but
hard money from the landing Of the

but hard times. Paper, as the repre-
sentative Of silver and gold, was ena-
bled to work out enlightened and
muniflcent enterprises and objects,
comforting wealth and happi-
ness upon the people, and imparting
strength to our Government. While,
therefore. paper is convertible at all
times and place into coin, bank notes
are just as valuable as the precious
metals. The great purpose and object
Of resumption is not SO much TO bring
gold into circulation as to restore to

ter. Gold is passive paper active. Gold

SALT LAKE, Aug. 26.-The follow

an escort of ten soldiers, fifty Ban
mock Shoshone scouts, authorized by
Gen. Sheridan. Reached Gen. How
ard at one a. m, ON the I'D inst, hav-
ing marched one hundred and fifty
miles. Howard was directly on the
Hostiles trail, one days march in their
rear. l marched with him one day
and left him fifteen miles south OF
Henrys Lake which place he intended
to reach same day. The hostiles are
badly demoralized, there are not to
exceed two hundred fighting men OF
them. Found freighters and ranch
men along the Montana stage road in
a very demoralized condition.
Freighters who were ON the road be-
tween the Holes and Pleasant Valley,
at the time the hostiles struck 4, had
left their wagons where they hap.
pened to be, in most instances loaded
with valuable freight and had taken
their stock to place of safety.
In one instance we found two wag-
ons, one loaded with metallic cart
ridges, another with powder, but the
Hostiles had not disturbed them.
As soon as we had passed over the
road freighters commenced moving
again. 1t is believed the Hostile1
have disturbed no freight ON the
road. Howard was pleased to gel
Indian scouts. Think they will do
him good service. Howard and
command are having . severe cam
paign but are In good spirits, hoping
10 finish the Hostiles in q short time.
