IL. b. A. Hales and David Ashpaugh, OF
Umatilla county, waited upon Mr.. Vii.
lard at Portland, to see what arrange
ments could be made, regarding the con-
tinuation Of the road from Blue noun
tain station to Pendleton. The commit
tee was instructed to offer subsidy Of
100000 il the road was built in time to
move the crop. Mr.. Willard said the pol
icy Of the companies he represented was
to furnish the citizens of the northwest
all needed transportation facilities at
their own cost, and concluded by insuring
the committee he would himself take a
look at the country they represented at
once, aud that he would see that the de-

Let Him Speak.

The county commissioners were unable
to find a certified copy of the relocation
act in Lewiston, when everybody know.
that numerous copies were in that city
Mirror.
If any man has knowledge that any
authentic copy Of the relocation act, eve r
came to Lewiston save the one brought
here by Councilman Taylor, when he rt-
turned from the legislature, and which
he took with him to Moscow when he
left, and which, as We learn, was the one
sent to the county commissioners from
Moscow, during the late sitting, We would
be pleased to have the person with such
knowledge speak out. The facts are the
Mirror man himself knows Of no other
copy in the county, and certainly of no
other copy being IN the hands of any per
son in Lewiston. But then the Mirror
mans chronic hatred of Lewiston, will
not permit him to mention the name of
Lewiston without lying and misrepresen-
ting her people.

LIBERALITY OF LEWISTON CIT
IZENS

The citizens of Lewiston contribute
literally for every charitable object that
is presented to them as hundreds will at
test who have been the recipients Of her
charities. The citizens subscribed over
$4,000 for a road leading to the country
north and east of her, which really was
the business of the whole county to build
and have opened, for the convenience
of the people. Her citizens bonded them
selves in the sum of $4,000 to build a
good school house for her children, and
those who might come here from other
parts of the county by paying small
tuition fee, to help pay the expenses Of
keeping up a good school in the different
departments. Her City Council have
decided, upon the petition of three tourths
Of the property holders in this city, to
bond the city in the sum of $4,000, if
required, 10 build free bridge across
Clearwater, to accommodate the people
on the north side Of the river in entering
the city to do their county and land Office
business and attend the courts without
cost of fcrriage or bridge toll to them and
yet some of those interested in removing
the county scat to Moscow, when they find
that Moscow is not permanently elegi-
BILE and convenient place for county seat
to arouse prejudice against Lewiston, ac-
cuse the people Of penuriousness and it,
liberality. Now in turn will not some
man who knows tell the people of the
county generally where or wherein did
the people of Moscow ever show any lib
erality to the general public of the county
and what has that people to boast of as
ever being liberal above measure. They
did make application to the Board. of
County Commissioners for authority to
open a road into their town offering to
pay all damages assessed to the parties
through whose land the road was to run
upon, which condition the Board granted
the authority After the road was open
ed they came back to the Commissioners
with bill Of 500, as half of the said
damages, for the Board to allow out of the
county funds. The Board did not see
fit to allow the bill, and why should they?
We know Of no instance wherein the peo-
pie of Lewiston, have done likewise. The
people Of Lewiston may be independent
but they are not selfish.

CLOSING THE GAP.

Tracklaying on the eastern division
of the Northern Pacific is now within 60

middle Of June Between Helena and
Missoula the distance is 40 miles. At
this time the track to be laid is less than

The Ne,cs says "P. B. johnson lied
when he said he was authorized by the
Walla Walla Board of Trade to commun-
icate with the business men OF Lewiston
concerning the extension of the Willard
railroad system from Texas Ferry The
point is that johnson did not use the
words "was authorized but he did use
the words 'was directed and the pre-
sumption is fair that Mr.. johnson did
not lie, the Ners to the contrary notwith-

CONCLUDED NEXT WEEK.

For one who worked as hard and UNI
scrupulously as Johnnie Neil to secure
the organization of the legislature last
winter, the following paragraph from his
Lewiston organ and coming from him is
quite refreshing:
At no time did I have a candidate for
any position in the gift of either house of
the legislature, but on the contrary, at
all time and on all occasions, declined to
be drawn into any controversy owes any
position in either branch of the legisla-
ture. What occurred between Mr.. To-
mer and myself has been grossly misrep-
resented, for which l am satisfied he is in
no way responsible,-Idaho Democrat.

says that when forced under, she held her
breath to avoid strangulatiYn until com
