Lewiston teller. [volume] (Lewiston, North Idaho) 1878-1900, 1880-07-02
Parker's Notes of Lewiston.

hand the TELLER is trying to force
them against their wills ard interests
to "branch out" and do something
What exactly to do Leland fails to tell;
1t has beensuggested that he carry out
his own idea nd"branch out" himself;
he must growl about something and
his own townfolks has always been his
pet, animosity. Notes.
Brother; the TELLER attempts to
force no one. But it suggests the evils
that are barrier to the growth of
Lewiston 1t gathers its knowledge
of these evils from long and close OBJ
seryation of their effects 1t has been
in the vanguard of every public i'm
provement that has taken place since
the TELLER has come into existance.
1t has suggested many prospective
remedies for these evils, which if heed
ed by those who are able, we would
have been much in advance of our
present condition, and Leland has
"branched out" for the accomplishment
of these far beyond his own means.
If he growls he has ample cause, and
tells only what the whole surrounding
country knows to be true, and tells it
without animosity towards anyone,
and unlike the Statesman, the TELLER
don't go abroad to find subjects, nor
dip it's pen in the local contests of
other towns with their newspapers
1t seeks no personalquarrel with other
journals, but will resent when it be-
| comes necessary.
News to the people here:
Jasper Rand, another we'll known
lawyer, is prominent among the repub
| leans and one of the 'stalwarts." =
Notes.
The republicans never have claimed
him snd the democrats must feel Their
loss.
Carry the news to Dan.
George Sears, and old pioneer o.
Idaho, has bought out Don Wardwell'
butcher shop and is as popular here "a
elsewhere. Notes.
IRONY. One acquainted with tn
facts, from reading some of Parker
notes of Lewiston, would infer that h
was either burlesquing some of on
citizens, or that lie gathered his note
from some one who had friends to llat
: ter and enemies to punish.
\ Fair Picture.
Lewiston is so situated that it is boun
by the very nature of things to become
, place of great Importance; III the first plac
it is situated at the junction of two gre.
:, rivers, on one of which the Clearwater, q
immense business will always be done IN luu
Q Der, for the mountains on every side u fe
: miles from it's mouth are covered with IL
finest timber, consisting of pine, fir al
/, cedar On the other side is the great Palou
= country, from which there will be always
0 extensive trade. Around Lewiston to II
{ east are countless acres of the finost whe
q land of which hut a moiety has be,
claimed. Craig s mountain contains magni
. cent timber and will be drawn upon
II lumber when the present generation is
d more. Beyond that is the great Cam
4 Prairie which is settling up at a very rap
rate. This is one of the hest countries
the world for grain and cattle; the SHOWS
J. Winter seldom fall to any great depth, Al
e usually cattle are not even driven to l.
/ er altitude where their safety would be
. sured. Beyond this again is the gold a.
. silver mining country of Salmon river, Ell
II bracing Florence, Warrens and other cam
,r all known to contain numerous un6
veloped veins Of quartz rich in the precio
metals All that is required to make LIE
iston a business center, and the undoubte
~ rich mines n grand success, is simply
!, railroad at at junction of the rivers TIL,
~ ishttle doubt but that this will soon becol
ii fact. Already they are surveyor in
!. field looking for grade down Snake ri,
's and the O. r. & n Go. too well know t
r. vast dormant resources of the country
neglect its development by means OF a Ii
IL of railroad. 1t is hardly expected to co
ne for year or two, but it must come 500,
or later. Notes
+. HOW LoNG.-ln the meantime
VI citizens and business men will do W
"a to continue ON the even tenor of tn
h. way and do the best they can un
be they can do better. = Notes.
70 Brother Parker, with the marn
