ED. TELLER:-Spring time has come
again and the husbandman is busy at
the pillow and the good wife has her
share Of the labors of the season to per.
form. All in their season from winter
comes spring from spring comes sum
mer autumn next and dreaded winter
follows, each 10 season. The acreage
to be sown this season bids fair to rival
previous as)n., for farmers failed to
raise enough to do them last season for
feed. The long winter and cold, late,
backward spring and extreme dry sum
mer made the yield very light for our
prolific soil and generally, favorable,
seasons. But farmers are going to avoid
scarcity Of feed, if the season is favorable
and it is 80 far more so than last spring
and all feel elated at the present pros
pect Of fair crops, good crops and for
the general good of all the farmers, mer-
chants, lawyers, preachers, chicken eaters,
mechanics, laborers, teamsters, teachers
and transportation Cos. whether rail
road or steamboat, inland or ocean-all
are benefited by abundant harvcsts
good yield of all crops. The feathered
wanderers to warmer climes have re.
turned and wood aud dale resound with
their cheerful note of JOY aud song.
The lean kind, Of which there are
many, are enjoying the warm sunshi
in the hills aud seeming to feel and ex
press thanks for the change of season.
The grass is starting fine and feed will
be plenty for stock, soon, if nothing oc-
ours to change the present outlook. The
busy season at hand, county seat affairs
seem to jog along quiet, at present. The
Reflector of the 9th had an article
from the Oregon statesman whose visi,
to Boise caused the expense Of spec
ial election in our county, Mandatory of
our members at Boise the twelfth ses
sion, while he tries to smooth owe, the
re location act and commend them FIR
working in the interests of the proper.
" owners about Moscow, which tatfy
is used to decoy votes on the county
seat question. Win the Oregon states
man explain to the people of Nez PIERCE
county how it is that Hon. G. w.
Toner is charged in the Idaho States
man with the defeat of the annexation
memorial when it was amended SO as
to include the counties Of Washington
and Ada and Boise Cityl We do not
object to any Of the citizens there.
Only his Excellency, and only to him
from the4uantity Of pepper he has
thrown in our eyes, and, OF course, the
memorial was SO purposely amended to
insure support and to make certain OF
its defeat In both Houses. That tatfy
is too thin; the bait is rot tempting
enough to win if I, mer defeated it at,
ter it was so amended he had good rea
son for it. The people of Northern
Idaho never asked for the two counties
Of Washington and Ada to be annexed
to Washington Territory aud Hon.
Toner well knew that fact. The peo-
pie Of North idaho including all the
honorables of the twelfth session we'll
knew, and have for years known that
Sou h Idaho would use any means to
defeat the wishes Of the people of North
Idaho for annexation to Washington
Territory if possible. The annexation
memorial was the butt of all The tricks
OF parliamentary rules before final vote,
though it was not necessary, for after
it was amended the cat was dead. But
the relocation act was simply form in
its passage, for the route was cleared
and approval secured before hand. Per
haps it is all very well to plaster over
the work of apprentices and to stand
10y each other in working for self and
master. But the fact is there still that
if the Yamhiller had not gone to Boise
no change in Nez Perez county affairs
would have occurred, letters from hon
orable of twelfth session for proof OF
this. Then it was presto change. Did
the people Of Nee Perez county, out
side of Paradise precinct ask or invite
him to represent them through the
honorables elected for the purpcsel
Moscow may owe the STATE OF Yam
hill county, Of Oregon, allegiance. True,
by former citizenship aud naturaliza-
ton Nee Perez county was supposed
to be part of Idaho Territory. hence
outside precincts are not versed in the
tricks of Yamhill politics. Wait and
all will be well, as the teuton expressed
il, "the longer he lives the more he finds
by Jesus Christ cut"
