and between them they got in. Now both

Lewiston at present is degraded and
shackled by her newspapers-her inter
ests ignored-her harmonies dslocated,
the werd her people would utter gagged
in their mouth, and her protests turned
by those writer's into scquiesence. The
late mass meeting in that city was an
expression of Indignation against the
Lewiston papers. Moscop Mirror.
This is very unfortunate for a few
people in Moscow. The mass nesting
alluded to consisted of SO persons only
who bad the privilege of voting. The
question of granting to Ezra Baird dis
cretionary authority to have the county
divided this session as last resort
came up for discussion. The new.pa-
per men who were preset opposed
such authority on the ground that up
wards of 800 citizens CT Lewiston had
signed remonstrauce against any aud
all division Of the county at this ses-
sion. AT the meeting one gentleman
favorlng such authority found fault
with the newspapers for their opposi-
ton to division, and when the question
Of granting this authority was put 90
voted for it and II against it, Those
in the city favoriug division we're only
as one to II against division. The
newspapers have always been on the
side of the 800 who opposed, without
any gagging.

NO RIGHT TO BE A COWARD,
any gaggins

Once a member of the corps diplo-
matique asked Sobeleff whether he
never felt afraid. The reply is worthy
of quotation: "You see, my dear SIR"
he said, you have the right to be a
coward; private soldier may be a
coward; a subordinate officer even
can be excused for possessing the in
stinct of self preservation. But from
the commander OF a company upward
no justification for cowardice is posi-
BILE. In my opinion a coward general
is contradiction in terms, and the
less such contradictions are tolerated
the better.
Wonder if the colonel who withheld
the assistance of his force when the
II volunteers were in great jeopardy
in 1877, was wanting in courage.

HANGING AT THE FRONT.

The Oregonian Of the 9th has the
following among its locals:
EXCITING RUMoRs.- Reports were
generally circulated yesterday that
thirteen men had been lynched at the
Northern Pacific front, and that a
charge Of gia powder in Lake Pen
dOreille had brought to the surface %
bodies giving evidence of having been
murdered. The report was started by
an employe of the company, just down
from the front. No such news has
reached the company's Office here, and
the Oregon'ans correspondent at the
front has sen. nothing of the kind
hence the rumors moy be set down as
sroundless.
There must be some fire to cause the
smoke published as above. A private
letter written 20 Postmaster Hunt Of
This place, under date Weeksville, NJ.
t., Jan. 26, 1888, from T.. II. Marshall
OF this place says: at is lively here
now, my first night in Weeksville they
hung two men and shot one dead. The
same night there were four men hung
between here and Sandy Point and
last night they hung one at Camp Three
above here, and think the robbers are
pretty aell done away with. The track
will be at the mouth of the Missoula in
about / . days. 1t is at this point now.
There is but little snow here, but it is
very cold. Beef is now worth IA cents
by the 100 pounds. The Clearwater
boys are all we'll. Men and teams are
;lenty here now.

The movements of the Oregon Short
Lane have inspired much confidence in
the early growth and developement Of
Lewiston and its surrounding country,
and that confidence is not misplaced.
Let Lewiston now build its roads TO
the country and make all proper prep
arations to grow and she will soon
loom in grandeur as an interior city.
Success is hers if she will only seize
hold and do her own part.

last past regarding the rise of land il
that vic'nity, AMI land speculations
have contributed largely towards this
excitement, Ringing their ostensible.
reas MS upon the fact that the Northern
princi pal western terminus Of opera
tions. Some of these spectators have
made no small fortunes in the buying
and selling OF real estate, particularly
in the northern portion Of that city and
on the east side of the Willamette in.
clcding the town Of Albna and the
east of that town. T. seems that some
of those spectators have bought large
ly to the north of Albna including St.
Johns ana the lands adjacent and that
too during the last six months, and
now have these lands on their hands.
But the Northern Pacific have conclud.
ed forthwith to construct the kalama
section of their road to Puget Sound
where they can meet sea going vessels
of large tonnage, and before October
next it is expected that the Kalama
section will be completed, and thus "A

East to the Puget Sound. The good
people of Portland are little dubious
about the effect this connection will
have upon their commerce, and those
land spectators are very uncertain
| about the future rise in their large pur-
chases Of land to the north Of Albina
Hence it would seem from a communi
cation in the Oregonian of date of JAN
25th, under the caption "W hat does it
all mean9" that they must assume to
the public that their purchases have
been made in the interest of the Oregon
Short Line, for the purpose of making
the locality Of their purchases the term

writer adduces no certain data more
than conjecture that the Oregon Snort

point near Portland their Western
terminus. The Oregonian of the day
before, editorially admitted that the
Western terminus would be s1mewhere
on the coast, but does not even hint
that it will be at any inland town 100
miles from the ocean. The article in
question published on the 25th Of Jan.
uary is adroitly written and well cal
culated to not only mislend, but to in
fate hopes and expectations that can
never be realized and no doubt it will
inspire some unwary people to invest
in the newly projected town Of St.
Johns, as the future terminus of the
Oregon Short Line, and by this means
some Of the land spectators may be
able to unload some of their purchases
at such advance prices by selling off in
small lots, as to make good their pur.
chase money. We can construe the
article as only designed for that pur.
porse. The picture it draws is toe
glowing, Falstafiian and bombatic to
constitute Belief in any of its assump
tons as probable facts to be realized in
the future. We venture the opinion
the article itself to the contrary n It,
outstanding, that the managers of the
Oregon Short Line have 10 knowledge
of any purpose to run their line to st,
Johns and that they do not own one
dollars worth Of real estate in that
locality.
