TEMPTATION TO FALL By TIE
WAY,

Several Of our temporary widowers, for
the benefit Of their avout ones, and, we
suppose incidentally, for their own bene-
fit, have asked us to publish the following
clipped from an exchange published where,
we suppose, other men dwell who were in
a similar fix:
OF all the insidious
Temptations invidious,
Contrived by the devil for pulling men down,
There's none more delusive,
Seductive, abusive,
Than the snare to man with . wife out Of
town.
He feels such delightfulness.
Stays out-all-night- -fuluess,
Shall I.get-tigh -fulness,
own it with pain!
A bachelor rakishnesy,
Nhat-will- -you.takish- ness,
Next days h.adache-ishne
None can explain!
His wife may be beautiful
Tender and dutiful,
'Tis not that her absence would cause him
delight;
But the cursed opportunity.
Balefnl immunity,
Scatters his scruples as day scatters night.

THE soYs REPLY.

The following item appears in the
News Of last week:
"The Leland boy who was on Camas
Prairie few weeks ago is reported by
several parties to be very active in solicit
ing our subscribers to stop the Ne,cs
and take the TELLER. We are willing
to give the shaver steady employment TO
do it some more

vassing for the TELLER, and l do not
know OF any other Leland boy who has
recently been in that business, and who
ever reported to Mr. Parker or any one
else that have been very active 10 So
Letting subscribers to stop the Neps
and take the TELLER did not tell the
truth. l have no recollection of ever
having asked any one to stop the News
and take the TELLER. l asked many
to take the TELLER, and some of them
replied that they were taking the News
and that they did not like it as well as
the TELLER, and that when their year
was out with the News they were going
to stop it and take the TELLER, and MIR.
Parker could not expect me to make
objections to their statement, if he did
he mistook my business. | was at work
for the TELLER aud not against the
Neps, and those with whom labored
will bear me witness of this fact.

THE BEST PATHWAY 10 3RU
SEA,

Among the multitude Of things thas
have been said about the Union Pasias
and its Short Line enterprise two fhslS
stand out clear and evident The Uaioa
Pacific has chosen the best route leading
from the Mississippi Valley TO the wsse-
ern ocean, and has been the first to occupy
the central and essential part Of the fsld.
Tho company is irrevocably committsd =
the ultimate completion Of this THROUGH
line whatever obstacles and embasram-
ments may intervene. If the 6saks
River canyon be one Of these obstacles n
must, and will be, overcome. A railruad
can be built anywhere. and the feasibility
of building the road through this iAoes
section Of its route has already been den-
onstratcd. For the rest it is onlya qus-
ton Of timeand money, Ifthe NorsAs1
Pacific, on the strength Of advantages
secured on the western section II IL
route, tries the "hcad-off" policy this
trouble will have to be settled BY sons
progress or arrangement in order 70 PEI.
nit the inevitable.
The Oregon Short Line win be con-
tinued down Snake river to Lewiston, and
thence across the Columbia river and ths
Cascade mountains to Puget Sound. The
great advantage Of this route is q compas-
atively snowless one for much the greater
part of the distance. The Snake and
Columbia river valleys which il traversa
possess mild and equable climate, which
none Of the other routes can lay claim 70.
This will make it the favorite route for
winter travel, while its shorter line will
give it the lions share Of the trade b.
tween the East and the West. The
western terminus Of the main line win b
at some point on Puget Sound, bsA .
branch down the Columbia will be among
the things that may be safely counted q.
As to the time required to do all this, thss
is another matter, but there can b 20
unnecessary delay. The work is alrcady
too far advanced, and there is too muck
depending to permit Of stopping or lott
ering by the way. The through limo
must be completed, and the work musa
go on as rapidly as practicable.
| With this road completed what advan-
tages will come to Idaho, and particular.
ly to this section Of the Territory? One
advantage will be that Of having the most
constantly Travelled thoroughfare passing
through our country. This will bring
us our full share Of immigration and
hasten the settlement Of the country.
With this road passing down Snake river
to Lewiston communication between the
southern and northern sections Of tho
Territory will be made rapid and easy,
and one Of the causes of discontent among
the people Of the northern counties win
be removed, namely: the difficulty Of
travel between the two sections. Boise

WHAT 10 NEEDED,

AHe'o 10 inuiNiuuaI cAPItal enough IN
this town to set in motion certain enter
priscs in and about this city that would
be Of great general benefit to the city,
and as we believe yield annually larger
per cent. upon this capital than mcrchan.
dising or loaning at the rates generally
charged. 1t might require little longer
time to obtain the returns, but the con-
dition of things here now seem to war
rant the ultimate profits of such invest
m ants. 1t may be asked what arc these
investments? We don't pretend to say
with certainty, but We suggest some that
may induce energy on the part Of men
who have money to invest. One is of
placing of water upon the plateau Of
ground back of the business portion Of
the city, in sufficient quantities for fire
and domestic purpose in tho lower part
of the town, and irrigate the land for gar
dens and shrubbery, and shade trees on
the plateau itself. An enterprise of this
kind would surely make the town attrac-
tive and swell its populati, n and business,
ado to the health and cleanliness, and as
certain consequence increase the chances
of profit to those who would invest in the
enterprise, The day has gone by when
the question of the growth and prosperity
of Lewiston is a doubtful one, such as
need cause men to he.itatc. Its natural
position and rich surroundings, and its
approaches, with their contemplated i'm
provements, make its prosperity almost a
certain V. Its enemies cannot prevent
this if its own people are up to their duty.
If the town flags and remains of slow
growth in the future, it will be the fault
Of her own citizens and property owners.
Another object of enterprise we would
suggest is the starting of certain manu-
factories of articles that are greatly used
in the country. If water power is need
ed fair water power can be secured by
an outlay of capital. If that is not suf-
ficient steam power can be made use of
by degrees in such quantities as demand
ed. Fuel is the great draw back TO steam
power. But systematic and well d.
rscted effort can greatly reduce the OK
pense of fuel from the present prices.
Another question remains to be consid-
cred by those who hold unoccupied and
unimprovcd lands in this city, and that is
whether the sale of part of these at a
comparatively low figure to men from
abroad who have the means of improve
ment and propose to improve them,
would not be economy to the present
holders, and increase the value of what
they retain far more than the reduction
in price of that which they sell at low
prices, and thus build up the town to a
position Importance? Complaint, that
is just, is frequently made that land own
ers in this city VIII either have not the
means to properly improve, or who will
not improve, are holding these lands &c
high that purchasers will not invest and
they 90 elsewhere to the detriment Of
our city. If Lewiston would succeed
they must not be penurious, exclusive
and domineering and exacting towards
strangers who desire to invest with us
and share with us in the advantages OF
the town.

Oil on the Waters.
". J. BARRY.
c. L. A. i. ID.

The report of u. C.. Sparrow: super-
intendent of the second life saving
district, under whose directions ex-
periments have recently been made
in the use of oil for calming rough
seas, has been presented to Superin-
tendent Kimball, Of the life saving
service. The experiments were made
with a view TO determing To what ex-
tent oil could be used as an auxiliary
agent by the life saving service, and
the conclusion deduced from them ,
the superintendent says, is that:
Oil exerts no influence upon a sea
that breaks on the shore. The result
when in rolling indnlation from the
ocean throws thousands of tons of wa
ter upon the shore cannot be pre-
vented by thin film oil. \ majority
of printed statements, together with
all verbal statemtnts made by mari
ners who have used it, furnish con-
elusive evidence that in deep water,
oil has a calming influence upon a
rough sea; but there is nothing in
either source of information which an
swers the question whether or not
there is a force exerted by wind a
point beyond which oil cannot coun-
teract its influence in causing the sea
to break.
