state improvements.

Occasionally man is found who OPP
poses the adoption of the constitution,
or the Territory becoming State under
it, because it forbids the State making
internal improvements. Such men, no
doubt, would, Oregon.like, be in favor
of forming wagon road, swamp land,
school lands, and other swindling COM
panies, to cheat the State out of its lands,
and run it a few millions in debt, so that
they could get finger in the pie. Our
Territory has had enough of that in the
University land swindle, and it is just
for this very reason that the members
OF the constitutional convention framed
the constitution in this manner. They
have seen samples Of such schemes both
in Oregon aud this Territory, and they
know too well the character of the lead
ing politicians to give them such an op,
portunity to rob the State, should they
by any chance be in position to take ad.
vantage of it. The new State, by reas-
on Of its becoming such, expects and
will receive aid from the general gov.
eminent for internal improvements: as
it would not be able, without squander.
ings its lands and running in debt, to
make such internal improvements which
are becoming every day more demand,
ed. No one would think for a momen.
of making them while we are Terri
tory, nor would the State be better able
until it has a larger population, and has
become wealthy Of itself. For years af
ter It becomes State it will need the
fostering arm of the government to aid
it, as well as now, and will then be able
to demand and secure such aid, while
now it is only beggar on the bounty
Of Congress 1t needs improvements il
our harbors and rivers, the erection Of
custom buildings, forts and arsenals 10,
the protection Of our coast and com
merce, and many other aids from the
government which it canpot now get
nor will ever be able to secure until i,
becomes State and has the power tc
demand its just dues. -Olympia Tran

1t is manifest to every observing mine
from the history of the past that Wash

UP the Clearwater


t"TTfePo"ueHf % ae bse
Starting at the Clearwater with the
Snake river, have been fortunate
enough to make one of a party who
have been prospecting along the first
named river a distance of 165 miles
from Lewiston, and find the facilities
and practicablity Of the route offer the
very best of advantages all the way for
the railroad so far as it has been under
our observations. The river from the
starting point at Lewiston has the ad-
vantage Oft good farming community
to back it. The average grade for the
entire distance along the river will not
exceed Is feet to the mile, making the
elevation 2,640 feet above Lewiston.
Then we ale in the Bitter root range
within 20 miles of the summit This
elevation will have to be overcome in
order to get into the Bitter root river
country. At the end Of 165 the river
forks. One fork running north, the
other running almost due east, and COM
ing apparently from the very summit
OF the divide rushing down from its
source at the mountain top at rapid
rate until it reaches the fork that

flow on regularly to the confluence.
BY following the east branch, there will
be distance of 20 miles gained, that
will not average more than go or 70
feet to the mile. Then, in making the
descent on the Bitter root river, we
have small steam that flows through 8
narrow gap between two high peaks
that form natural passage for road
way, taking its course eastward to thu
Bitter root river, at point near Steph
enville, Montana. When once on tn,
last named river the road will have a
good grade to the Geyser basin, as al
of that country can be easily Travelled
by wagon. The old Clearwater survey

of 81 miles to the third fork, followed

writing from Jordan valley, Sept. It'll,
says:
Mr.. Reeder says the Indians at the
Post are killing each other to get their

and no questions asked. They are all
allowed to retain their arms, and to pur>
chase as much ammunition as they wish
it not too openly. The day he left
the Post sixty well armed and equipped
Piutes went out on pasedr, no one
knew their destination, or cared. The
settlers around McDermit are apprehen-
sive of a bigger "Injun war" than this
years but think they will hold off until
next Spring, when the feed is good.
Meanwhile, the "reds" are being well
fattened up for three months picnic
next Summer. In early days it used to
be the policy of paternai government
to foster and protect its frontier settlers
but it appears now they are lett to the
tender mercies of the Indian agents ane

speech of Hon. N. T. Cation at Colfax

Hon. N. 7. Cation, the Democratic
nominee for Delegate to Congress, ad-
dressed fair audience at the school
house, in Colfax, last Saturday evening,
on the approaching political issues.
Space will only permit of our publishing
some Of the main points Of Mr.. Cations
remarks:
He said he always had been, as he is
now, opposed to the ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of
the Territory-the annexation of Walla
Walla and Columbia counties to Oregon,
and would oppose it by every honorable
means in his power. That he was in
favor Of an extension of time for the
Northern Pacific Railroad, but that he
wanted to see the Company begin some.
Where, sometime. That he saw defects
in the constitution as framed by the
Walla Walla Convention, but he trust
ed to the intelligence and disposition o.
the people to remedy these defects
through their representatives in the leg
islature after the admission of the Ter
ritory, and that he should vote for il,
adoption. He is strongly in favor Of tn
annexation of Northern idaho to Wash
ington aud the admission of the Terri
tory as early as the wealth and popula
tion will justify. He referred to tn
people Of this Territory as being emf
monthly reading people; that at preseu
large communities were without mean
Lewiston teller. [volume] (Lewiston, North Idaho) 1878-1900, 1878-10-04

of obtaining their mail that he, as pri-
vate citizen had been successful in OBJ
tanning several new mail routes, and
said that in case be was elected to Con-
gress, would exert himself to establish
routes where it was reasonable to expect
them. He wanted to see the obstruc-
tons removed from Snake River, max
ing this public highway, and would
labor for this end. His position on the
Indian and Chinese question could not
but be approved by every citizen, no
matter to what political party he may be
attached. He wanted to see the Indian
policy changed; to abolish the reserva.
ton system, to compel them to take up
land in severalty, and instead of the
present Indian agency system to place
them under the military, and make it
responsible for their acts, thus saving
thousands of dollars annually to the gov
ernment, and bringing about much
more satisfactory and efectual Indian
policy. He wanted to see the Burlin-
game treaty repealed or amended so as
to prevent the further immigration Of
Chinese, but commended none but a
legal course to pursue.
His remarks though sometimes quite
expressive, were free from all personal
political bitterness, which sometimes is
used by speakers, and his fair, candid
manner in dealing with his subjects
could only gain for him at least the re-
spect of all, whether Democrat or Re-
publican. -Palouse Gazette.

Counterfeit silver.

Large cities are overrun with coun
terfeit silver There is hardly mer-
chant who has not more or less of it OH
hand. Some of it is very well execu-
ted indeed, but the greater part is very
bad. Reports received from different
states by the secret service division of
the treasure are to the effect that coun-
terfeit silver is also appearing in great
quantities in those sections. The indi-
cations are that this is the beginning
of an evil that may grow TO a very dis.
astrous magnitude. Counterfeit silver
is much easier executed than the coun.
terfeit greenback, and much easier
passed off. One of the half dollar coun.
terfeits is made of a composition with
the ring of silver, the exact appearance
and brightness, and but few grains
less in weight than the genuine. With
all these points in their favor it car
readily be seen how comparatively
easy it is for the counterfeits of silver
to get their productions on the market
