WHAT CLAIMS has SHE,

The people Of Portland now seem to
us of Eastern Washington and North
crn Idaho to expect that ve withstand by
the city Of Portland and the Columbia
river route for the railroad Why
should WEI What has Portland ever
done for us to aid us in our develope-
ment, that should awaken our graft
tudc. When did we ever make an
appeal to Portland capital to aid US
in any great enterprise that was an
swered except hy Il refusal In no
instance has Portland ever stretched
out her capital in our great enterprises
either in Eastern WASHINGTON or
Northern Idaho, and yet four hfths
of all her wealth she has acquired
from east of the Cascade mountains
has come from Eastern Washington
and Northern Idaho. In 1eG1-2-
/ and ) Northern Idaho rave to Port
land immense wealth from her mines,
and yet She never expended as much
as $1,000 for any dovelopement of
these mines, nor would she, though
often solicited so to do. Every dol
lars worth Of goods and supplies our
people have ever received from Port
land have been paid for at an extrav-
agant prices and lreighted here by the
o. S. n. Co., at exorbitant frcigh
rates. Portland and that company
have grown rich at our expense and
we are poor, have just been able to
hold our own without any marked ad
vance commensurate with the money
we have earned and which Others have
received and enjoyed We propose
now to press the construction of the
n. p railroad branch to the Sound,
and seek pastures new. Had Port
land, like San Francisco, been dis
posed to lend Il part of its capital to
men in the interior, for further de
velopement to such as had enriched
her for years, then there would have
existed some cord ofsympathy between
the men of Eastern Washington and
Northern Idaho, and the people of
Portland. But all they have done for
US has been to bleed us and that too
severely, while all the aliment that
nourshed us we obtained from our
immediate surroundings in the section
we inhabit If Portland thinks we
will not burst the letters that have
bound us at the first opportunity, she
will find herself mistaken.

STOCK TUMRIING.

The o. r. 4 N. Co. S stock which on
the publication of the news that Vii
lard had got control of the Northern
Pacific, went from 1870 to $50 in less
than ten days, has since the discovery
of the true state of facts, tumbled
down to l05, with a still downward
tendency. The st. Paul Pioneer of
of April 9Th, which has the record
from which to speak, says:
"Mr. Willard is at present loaded up
with seven or s millions Of borrowed
money, and he has got to borrow as
much more before he reaches the prom
Used land. 1t will not do to undcresti-
mate Mr.. Wizards s;e,acty. There
was so much confidence in him three
weeks ago that the subscriptions to
the "blind pool were at premium of
20 per cent. A fortnight before this
residue stock went out, party who
took an interest (Sl00,O00) was Iad
$50, 900 for the privilege Of taking it

asked is when the ides of May arrive,

LETTER FROM MOSCOW.
Moscow, April 90, 1891.

Moscow, April 20, 1881.
After hard ride reached this place
in good time yesterday. The town
has grown very much since I was here
two years ago. 1t begins to assume
the proportions of lively trading
place, and the traders seem to gather
in here with good and well assorted
stocks of goods such as are suited to
an agricultural people. W. j. Me
Council & Co., carry a very large
stock Of merchandise and have done a
large business here and so far as l can
learn have been honorable in all their
dealings. A. A. Lieualcn has a good
stock and has been a popular dealer.
Hayes Il Dupuy have recently estab-
lished themselves here and have a good
stock and are rapidly gaining a good
trade. Il. j. Craig has fine stock of
drugs and medicines. G. Weber keeps
everything in the saddlery line and
has good trade, w. w. Langdon
supplies the people here with the best
of stoves and tin ware. O. S. Peter
son runs an excellent meat market.
M. j. Shields and w. D. Robbins are
competing in the agricultural ware
house business. Mr.. johnson keeps
the new Barton House and Mr. Fry
runs his own hotel and Doth are cred
liable stopping places for the traveller,
each have good stable so that both
man and beast will be well provided
for. Two blacksmith shops, several
carpenter shops, two saloons, and two
laundries. The new steam Touring
mill is great addition to the business
of the place. Most of the lumber used
here comes from the saw mill of North
rup Il Moore few miles east of Mos
COW in the timber. All together Mos
COW has future prospect that but few
new towns has, especially if the rail
road should come here in course of q
few years, an event that every one
here expects and not without good
reasons. The farming country around
the place is the very best found il
the whole Palouse country, and hence
it was call Paradise valley, after they
had discarded the name of "IIos

WAsrEp.--Since 1868 the sum of
$3O2.932 has been expended by the
government in an attempt to improve
the navigation of the lower Willamette
and Columbia rivers. This money has
oil been lost, as there is no improve
ment in the approach to Portland from
the sea. During all these years, and
for all time previously, deeply laden
vessels have sailed in and out of the
Straits of Fuca without tug boat or
pilot and without fear of stranding on
treacherous sands, and without, cost to
the government or owners; aud yet a
few people, il terested people of counse,
persist in styling Portland the future

THE w WASHINGTON CONsTITU-
TON.

The numerous answers to the two
questions submitted by the Walla Wal
Ia Union to such public men as were
thought opposed to state government
for Washington under the constitution
of 1878, in the majority of cases, have
favored admission under the present
constitution, rather than take chances
of getting a worse instrument, by call
ing new convention, and every ans
wer has favored the admission of the
state as soon as the measure could be
effected. There was manifest in those
answers that opposed the instrument
of 1878, a species of vanity i'll the wri
ters as much as to say, "Give US a
chance to meet in convention and we
will show the people that we can make
much better constitution" But all
the men who are not ambitious to be
delegates to new constitution declare
their belief that we had better rely up
on the one adopted by the people, nd
if found to have defects, then remedy
them by future amendments in manner
provided. AS we before said when we
published Delegate Brentzs letter, the
only vital objection lies in the schedule
in regard to apportionment. We in
the same issue showed how this appor-
tionment was brought about, and sug-
gested how it could Re remedied with
out new convention. Several of our
contemporaries have alluded to Brentz's
letter in the TELLER as expressing OPP
position to the constitution by reason
OF the apportionment, and that he
should not favor admission under it.
We do not so understand Brentz's let
ter, but he suggests this apportionment
as matter that ought to be remedicd
to suit the present condition of the
population. But he does not say that
new convention should be called to
remedy that, nor that he would not ad-
vocate admission under the instrument
as it is, and abide the chances of a.
mcndment afterward, Mr.. Brentz no
doubt thinks the present apportion-
ment gives to the Sound counties more
representation in the first legislature
that is to elect senators than that sec
ton is entitled to at thu present time,
and that is true. But that, in our
opinion, can be fully remedicd in the
enabling act Of congress, without do
ing violence to the sovereignty of the
people in the adoption Of their consti-
tuition, and no class of men will have
any cause of complaint, and the whole
people will cheerfully acquicsce.
From a gentleman recently from
Washington City and who had oppor-
tunities of learning the general senti
ment Of members of Congress upon tn,
subject matter, we learn that Wash
ington will be sure TO be admitted du-
ring this administration, and probably
next winter, and that when it is ad
admitted, Northern Idaho will be a
part OF the new state, that so thorough
~ do the members there understand the
situation, that any opposition Southern
Idaho may interpose will not deter
our becoming part of the State oil
Washington. But nothing will BIZ
lost by constantly urging the matter.

A Cold. Cheerless Ride.
Milwaukee SUM-


Probably the most cold d-blooded af-
fair that ever occurred, took place at
a certain summer resort a few weeks
ago. There was going to be a picnic,
and young man and the girl he was
going to be married to, started in a
row boat to cross the lake, taking an
ice cream freezer full Of ice cream
for the picnic. just before arriving
at the picnic the boat capsized. The
boat was bottom side up, and the
young man helped his girl on the ice
cream freezer, and he got on the boat,
and after floating for half an hour
they were rescued. The girl did not
complain at the time she was put on
the freezer, as she was glad enough to
get on anything that would float, but
after they got ashore, and she had
time to reflect on the matter, and
talk with the other girls, she con-
cluded that his getting on the boat,
which was nice and warm, and putting
her aboard the ice cream freezer,
which was so cold and cheerless, was a
breach Of etiquette that would stamp
any man as being a selfish, heartless
villain, and she refuses to speak to
him, and has declared the engagement
of. He is very much mortified over
the affair, and tries to explain that be
was more accustomed to q boat than
she was, while he reasoned that she
would naturally be more familiar with
an ice cream freezer. 1t certainly
looks to us to have been cold blood.
ed transaction, and while the young
man might have been ratified, and
powerless to grasp the situation as he
would if he had it to do over again
the girl is certainly justified in being
indignant. An ice cream freezer is .
cold and cherries companion
even when empty, but filled with
CONCEALED cream and pounded ice
and in the water, it cannot but have
been an Arctic exploration on smal
scale. Besides the ice, it is noto
rious fact that ice cream freezers ar,
made Of zinc, the coldest metal in tht
world, if we bar women's feet. "Sher
idan's Ride" has been spoken Of il
poetry and in song, but it pales int
linsigniicance by the side of this girl
ride on the ice cream freezer. If tn
young man had exhibited foresight
and had side saddle buckled on t
the ice cream freezer, the experienc
would have been robbed ofmuch Q
! its frigidity. if there had been thic
| blanket under the saddle, but h
failed to take even that precautioI
AS it is we do not blame the girl f
breaking off the engagement. In ad
dition we think any court would d,
eide that he should pay for the ging'
