A WOOlen Mill for Lew istOn.

Many believe, and not without rea-
son, that good wooden mill for man,
ufacturing several classes of wooden
goods, such as blankets, flarnels, cas-
simeres, &c, would be a paying bust.
ness here. The proportionate con-
sumption Of wooden fabrics in this sec.
ton of country is large, and the great
bulk of these goods are imported from
California, Oregon and the East, and
often at very high pricea The money
OF the country goes abroad in payment
for these goods, which is annually a
heavy drain from our circulating me-
dunn. We have at present many
sheep on our excellent ranges. The
proprietors send the clip of each year
to other parts for manufacture at a
heavy cost. Why not inaugurate
a good mandatory of Walla Walla
goods here among us, and save this
expectation of the manufactured
goods. Dayton has made this bust.
ness a permanent success, and there is
no reason why we could not.
Lewiston teller. [volume] (Lewiston, North Idaho) 1878-1900, 1880-01-30

chief reason of this revolution in the
number of tho church going people can
be briefly stated. The congregation
in too many instances are better quail
fed to teach the great truths than are
the presiding ministers. When min.
lister announces to acongregation "thou
shalt not steal and forgets, himself, to
pay his debts, and lies his creditors out
of them when dunned, that congrega-
ton seek the truth from aclea,er chan
mel. The farmer in these daysremains
ct home and drinks in the sway the
truth and the light" fromprinted pages
- it was given by t.le founders of the
civil code. A church paper says:
On not one Of the six Sabbaths while
here or in Oregon did Grant enter a
house of worship. Every Sabbath
was spent in secular employme nt, or
pastime, or visiting, or travelling, or
pleasure. Long and tiresome journeys
IS when returning from Yosemite,
were preferred to rest and worship.
And then, as though to add insult to
transgression, when he took his de,
parture east, he h'gan his journey on
Sabbath morning.
Occasionally man who is worthy
of the name minister" makes his an.
pearance in thespulpit and when this
fact becomes known among the people
he is saught after by them. A par
TALLY educated man, dishonest man
and lack of all trades" man are u,.-
appreciated substitutes for ministers.
There are people who will shut their
eyes and drink, saying it is sweet,
when If they would see that though
the source OF the spring Ike pure the
water they drink is diverted through a
channel whose foul creations will even.
tually poison the blind, who force
themselves thus to be deluded.

school Exhibition.

Ed. TELLER In regard to the mat
ter of comicalities in our public school
it appears that our trustees have or
dered the teacher to convert the school
into dramatic company, and that a
public exhibition bc given, heproceeds
of which VIII be laid out in repairing
the school building. Neither the
trustees nor the teacher, it is presuma-
bic, have been furnished with a copy
OF the public school laws. Paragraph
sixth, sec. %, Of the above laws reads
as follows: "The trustees by a vot. Of
the district shall have power to re-
pair the school house and supply the
same with furniture"
The trustees in this instance, with
out the vote Of their district, have
even gone beyond this injunction of
the people and have ordered the teach
er las the pupils understand from the
teacher) to parade these scholars in
comedy before the public that funds
may be acquired to improve the in
terror Of the building. In this the
directors have insulted the dignity OF
the people Of Lewiston, who have
come forward, as men, on every occa-
sion, and voted liberal tax for the
maintenance af the city school. Bet

Letter from Moscow.
Moscow, Jan. 26.


ED. TELLER Moscow continues to
move forward on the 'even tenor of
its way" and our citizens, while mod
est in the extreme, still have no OBJ
lection to letting the outside world
know of our prosperous condition.
It's true that our prosperity is little
slack just nov, but then it is a season
Of the year when all must partake
more or less of dull times, and il we
get our full share of such good things
as are being dealt out. This, added to
the reasonable certainties in store for
US and the great expectations to be
discerned with the eye of faith fully
justities us, we think, in such stated
feelings as we exhibit.
Since the last writing, while world
ly matters have been substantially at
standstill, spiritual gains have been
gathered in plentifully. Reverends
Wright and Buchanan, of the Chris
tan denomination have been holdin.
a series of meetings, beginning two
weeks since, held each night during
the week and twice on the Sabbath,
and not yet closed. The work has
been prosecuted vigorously, and large
numbers of those outside the ark have
been induced to come in, and more
who had in times past been good, but
have grown cold, and even in some
cases committed sin, have regenerated
themselves and renewed their faith.
There is at least possibility that the
Methodists will commence operations
ere long to convert such sinners as the
Christians fail to regeneratc, and, may
he, they will occasionally make better
one who has already been made good.
During the past week we had call
extending over couple Of days by T..
l.. Shannon, special correspondent Of
the Portland Bee. That we were
blessed with his presence for more
than just single night was, doubtless,
owing to the fact that the trip up be-
ing very severe one, left him in such
condition that going back the next
morning was too severe task; but
some of our dealers paid him for ex-
ira copies and puff, and no doubt
they will get what they baryained for,
and so cts an i'll wind that blows no
body good"
The Skagit mines excitement has
reached US to a slight degree, and a
few of our miners, including Cariboo
Jack, 0. l.. d. Chapman, Esq, and
Others, have decided to 90 over and
prospect so soon as the proper season
for travelling in that direction shall ar
rive. Our citizens had supposed that
"Chap. was q fixture among US, hut
common love, such as binds q man to
his fellow men, will be overcome by
love of gold.
Begging pardon for saying so much
where there was so little to be said,
stop. SCRIBE.

Agents for the "Teiler."
AHenynsss Co1aunieaiicns.

II is the cowardly habit Of some
people to send anonymous letters TO
newspapers, which contain some per-
sonal grudge or fault to find, of which
thesvriter is ashamed, and yet expects
. publisher to insert them in his news
paper, and they be hidden behind their
anonymous signature. We are in re-
c,ipt of many such, all of which invar-
iabiy 90 either int the FIRE or the
waste basket, without any further con
sidestioh, upon the well settled prin-
ciple that the man or the woman who
hesitates to become personally respon-
sible for what they say to the public is
in full doubt about the correctness Of
what is written or sad and therefore
desires that some one else shall be sus-
pected of being the author. But there
il another much more pernicious class
who will send written messages to per-
sons suggesting some evil, or direlic-
ton from right, either in relation to
themselves or their friends, for the
purpose Of arousing suspicious of evil,
and venting some dark and direful
spleen that they entertain. In some
instshces where those in receipt of such
missiles are weak and constitutionally
suspicious in mind, these missiles cause
great uneasiness and unhappinsss with
OUT any satisfactory relief till the au.
thor becomes known. Meantime good
friends may be suspected and serious
alienation will ensue. Most Of this
class Of slanderers will be sure to assert
in these missiles Of mischief, that they
are the friends Of the person addressed,
In hopes thereby that the missiles
themselves will be believed. Now all
this is bosh, for no person who is a
trne friend and who has sense enough
to be able to aid friend, will ever
seek this method Of addressing friend.
This may he set down a. an invaria.
bic rule, without hardly an exception.
II should be well understood in socie y
that no coward can be true friend
IN time Of need. We say then to
every man and woman who reads this
article, never suffer yourselves to DO in
the least disturbed or frenzied by any
synonymous communication you may
recsiye.s II you are innocent don't
Ainch from any duty incumbent upon
.OA or refrain from any innocent
pleasure in consequence Of any dark
missile you may have received. Your
tfde friends, when knowing any danger
that threatens you, will be sure to ap.
prissyou Of it, il they deem it impor-
tnt'thAt you should know of it, and
mat either in person or over their own
true name But all anonymous letters
and messages touching faults in per.
sonal character are conceived and writ
ten In malice. and ninety-nine cases
out ctevery hundred are libellous and
falss under the law, and conviction

could b had befosc any honest and

What Makes SkrPtics.

In sermon preached in Chicago
upon the subject of Balloon Religion,
the preacher said: "No other public
teacher is permitted to say so mani
testify absurd things unchallenyed as is
the preacher. When nonsense finds
its way in the editorial columns into
our courts, and on the platform, it meets
with exposure. When known absurd.
tiles come from the slcrei desk de-
corum forbids reply. The congrcga-
ton say, oh, that is religion; let it
go BY a tacit understanding between
pulpit and pen the audience feel in
duty bound to swallow every thing the
minister says" 1t is this liberation
of errors promulgated from the pull
pit and of wrong practices among
churches and church members that
begcts infdelity. Among business
men, financial derelictions in duty
brands men with infamy. If there is
one duty that is imposed upon Chris
tians more than another it is strict
honesty in financial matters. The
people of the world are often called
upon to contribute for the building of
churches, religious schools and other
objects connected with churches, and
in our enlightened day intelligent citi-
Gems, whether in or out Of the church
are generally ready and willing to con-
tribute Of their substance for these
purposes, each according to his or her
predictions. One subscribes for a
church building, one for school house,
one for preacher or teacher, and SO
on As the want is made known and
confirmation sought. But money sub
scribed for building a church cannot
be diverted to paying preacher or
building him a parsonage. or buying
town lots to be snapped for lumber to
build family residence, without do
ing violence to the purpose Of the con-
tributorA any more than the agent of
mercantile and business men can ap-
propriate the money furnished to buy
goods in specializing in railroad or
steamboat stocks or in lands In the
latter case the agent who did this and
was detected would soon be deprived
OF his authority even among men of
no religious principle, and the chances
are that he might grace the interior of
some Jail or pcnitentiary. If the
matter is dishonest in the latter case il
is no less SO in the former, and so the
outside world look upon the matter,
whatever may be tolerated by the
church, and hence the world becomes
skeptical about all religion that fos.
.ers such practices.
