AT THIS season of the year Castle Garden
is crowded with the ignorant for
eigner loaded down with cheap luggage,
fat wive and long pipes, to say nothing of
strong appetite for their native beverage,
whatever it may chance to be- He is an
object of interest because of his utter igno-
rance of all our institutions and his child
like belief that he has ut last reached the
spot where he can recline Oh II green bank
to slow music, and have all the comforts
and luxuries of life without much of II
struggle. This idea is borne out, the mo-
ment he lands, by the inccssant attentions
of the agents of emigration societies, who
visit him in company with rose -colored pic
lures of the localities they represent. 1t
must seem to unsuspecting Hans that Para
disc can't wait for him to go to it, but,
in its greed to make him acquainted
with its beauties, must needs come to him.
If he saves enough brain, after the wear
and tear of it, to make up an opinion on an
independent basis, he is waited westward to
his future elysium. Whether he can dis
Germ beauty and life enough on his Journey
over mountain and dale to compensate for
the loss Of fatherland is one question, and
not of much consequences either way; but
whether the olysium when found bears or
bears not faint resemblance to the pictures
shown him at Castle Garden, is II very diff
ferent question, and leads to more moment
Gus results. 1t is not surprising that the
emigrant agent, like the man who has Il
farm to lease in the country, should COM
bine some able lying with facts, in
the ordinary course Of business, but
1t would seem that the limit has
about been reached in these oper-
ations with the confding foreigner No

OUR NEW SCHOOL LAW.

The new law of the graded schools
has had no general circulation, except
in detached provisions, and conse-
quently our people generally do not
understand it, and at the first election
which took place yesterday were i'll
prepared to judge of what was re-
quired as capacity for school directors
The presumption is that every voter
did his duty in the premises. 1t seems
there were two tickets la the field, the
nominations of two separate meetings.
Both tickets contained persons well
qualified for directors. A goodly num-
Der OF our people could not be made to
see the propriety of placing womenu upon
the ticket as candidates to decide ques-
tons which must come up before the
directors in relation to school finances,
They have not yet so far acquiesced in
the woman suffrage movement as to
consent to vote to women the right of
suffrage, even in all school matters.
While they admit their softening and
healthy influence as teachers of chill
dren and youth, yet they cannot see
their fitness to become the competent
judges of when taxes should levied
and how money should be expended,
or at least they say they cannot and
hence they were unwilling to submit
to ticket which contained names of
women for directors. The test of
woman dictatorship has never been
made here in this section and hence,
it is not surprising that many should
distrust the policy, as they would all
other untried policies. One thing we
were glad to see, and that was, that
our people were aroused at some de-
gree at least to the Importance of hav-
ing good schools, even if the woman
question did arouse them. Out of the
discussions upon the question we may
be sure that good will come and we
will emerge from all these little con-
troversies, better prepared to consider
educational provisions in a proper
light.

ABOUT Willard AND THE N. r.

PHILADELPHIA, May 13.-It was
stated today by prominent fnancier
OH Broad street that next Saturday,
the l4th, Henry Willard, president of
the o. r. & N. Co., is required by his
contract with the Northern Pacific
pool to made q statement of the use to
which he put the millions which was
placed in his hands in such perfect con-
fidence by his friends that they had
not the remotest idea where he intend
ed to invest it. This fact is thought
by persons who have an acquaintance
with Wizards aims and objects, has
close connection with recent fuctua-
tons in Northern Pacific stock. Be
tween this time and next Saturday,
Willard must put himself in a position
to show good balance sheet to his
friends, and if he is, he will lie able to
extricate himself from the rather un-
pleasant position in which he has been
placed for some weeks To this end it
is currently reported in this city and
New York that Willard had succeeded
in a preliminary arrangement with the
Northern Pacific which will result in a
compromise of all matters legal or 9th
erwise between the two parties. There
is no doubt whatever that the very
powerful influence Of leading banking
houses in this country who are inter
ested in the Northern Pacific has been
excited in behalf of some settlement
of the difficulty. 1t has long been urg-
ed that an honorable compromise would
be beneficial, not onlj to Willard but
to the Northern Pacific Company
The nature of the proposed terms Of
settlement, if they have been agreed
upon, is kept profound secret. 1t
was said that Willard would I've allow
ed two directors and that some agree
ment would be made in regard to the
business of the Oregon Railway and
Navigation Company. The rumor cur
rent is that the two companies will be
consolidated and that President Bill
ings will resign in the near future, and
that he will be succeeded by Albert
Fink, pool commissioner Of the trunk
lines.
The people of the North. want
no consolidation or compromise that
will defeat or in the least delay the
construction of the Cascade Mountain
division of the Northern Pacific.

FROM GENESEE.
GENEssEE, May IA.


EDITOR TELLER we come

are not penawriter, so we will not

Some excitement in our generally
quiet town caused by the murder OF
HoL j. NJ Helrick which occurred a
few miles east of Genesee.
School has commenced at Genesee
and is now in full blast, so the plastic
minds of the youths Of this vicinity are
we hope, receiving that which will be
of use in after life.
AT present no one breaches at our
town. Won't some good missionary
come round.
Roads are getting very good, most
of the mud has disappeared, making
them Il little rough for vehicles of any
kind, but very nice for horse back rid
ing or on cayuse.
We are having small frosts most
every night, ground rather cold for
vegetation.
This vicinity has been visited often
of late by some of the magnates of
Lewiston, all right gentlemen so you
are not plotting against US but you
must remember people shoot on this
side of the river.
Farmers are vcly busy putting in
crops, but very few have finished SOW
ing grain as yet, notwithstanding that
they suffered some loss in thepast from
frost and.etlier troubles, they are still
hopeful of the future.

POTLATCH.

LIDDIAvILLE, May, Il 1881.
DEAR SELLER. Il have Teen peram-
bulating the Potlatch country for
short time, and find the people all well
pleased with this section of country,
with the climate. soil, timber and wa
ter facilities, but they want roads out
to the rest of the world. Some work
has been done towards opening road
down the big Potlatch and more will
be done as the settlers have the tine to
spare from their crops. This is q beau
tiful country and capable of accommo-
dating large population, and has
filed up rapidly since the first settler
pitched his location here. The east
side of the. Big Potlatch already con
tains quite large settlement and the
settlers have done much work during
the short time they have been there.
They greatly lack mail facilities, and
they desire route established continu-
ing from Genesoe to the east side OF
the Big Potlatch, and a postctlice to be
established on the cast side at some
convenient point, and such an office
ought to he established fort! with
most of their mail matter is now OBJ
tanned at the Gencsce Office, some | )
or 20 miles distant. As facilities are
now settlers cannot get local papers
oftner than once in two or three weeks
and then only by specially deputisin.
some one to 50 to get mail for himself
and all his neigh5ors. The news Of
the killing Of Hon. j. NJ. Hedrica;
shocked the settlers everywhere in this
vicinity, and was wholly unexpected
here among all, and the general belief
is that he was toully murdered without
any reasonable cause or provocation,
and had Stevens, who killed linn, re.
manned i'll this vicinity till the killing
was generally known the chances are
that he would have, before this tine
dangled from the limb Of some tree, a
victim of the vengeance of the infuri-
ated settlers. Stevens early taking
himself to the protection Of the Siberia
was fortunate for both him and them.

terminus of the Cascade division of
the Northern Pacific, and Lewiston
will be the central point for business
in all this section, with the best climate
Of the whole northwest. AT pres
ent we are being overlooked and ne
elected by the attractions of other To-
calities where railroads are being built
and money of the companies is being
lsbursed. But when the construc-
ton is completed, then all towns and
places located in order to become of
importance to themselves or to the
railroads must have a good producing
country around them, otherwise their
denizens will only have the pleasure
of seeing the cars hurriedly pass by
without leaving them one cent. But
when we once get our connection with
the Sound as we have suggested the
people of Lewiston and in the vicinity
of the Clearwater need have no fears
that they will be neglected, We are
in the best part of the whole Columbia
basin, and no railroad engineering
north or south of us can rob us of the
natural advantages we enjoy and the
man who thinks of lettering his stu
alton by going north along the line of
the railroad for any other than a tenn
porary residence while the road is be-
ing built is making a mistake. We
may be the last in Importance as CON
sidercd by the capitalist who invests,
but when they do come, we will be
first on the list of rapid progress to
wealth and prosperity, and we must
not overlook or forget this prediction

]
For several years past Lake Charles
has been steadily increasing in size and
population, and this increase is now
more pronounced than at any previous
time. Ryan street, the main business
street Of our town, has had so many
new residences and business houses
erected on it within the last five wears
that its appearance has been com
pletely changed within that short pc
Rod. 1t is common remark with
those old settlers in the country who
come 10 Lake Charles only at long
intervals, that they "don't know the
town"
The value of real estate here has ad :
vanced with these improvements, and
has been rising steadily for over ten.
years past. Five years ago one of our
townsmen purchased a square twelve
town lots, each 66 2-3 by 200 feet) Of
ground here for 5000; about month
ago he sold half of it for 1925. AT
the same time--fise years ago-he
bought other lots at the rate of S75
per lot, and recently sold 'someof them
at $3.50 per lot--an increase of 100
per cent in value. About a year ago
oiir town constable bought an i'm
proved Etownilot for $3.50, and sold it
afew weeks ago at aprofit of Is per
cent. Fourteen years agotone of onr
citizens bouglitsa tract Of thirteen acres
in town, for 5000, containing about
forty town lots, and sold one town lot
fromthistract, five years ago, for 1925.
These facts speak well for the con
tinued prosperity and development of
Lake Charles.
