Charleston, Huntington and indeed many
other of the cities OF the lower end Of the
State, according to the Auditor, are max
ing vast strides in the improvement line.
Building is brisk and public Improvements
are being stirred up by the people. Some
of them will rival Wheeling, after while-a
long while. For Wheeling is going right
ahead with Improvement schemes, in her
street, few years will note some vast
changes. And then, too, the high water
may prove blessing in disguise and like
the Chicago fire, clean out all rubbish and
rattletraps. On the Island this is especially
noticeable. Old fencing old barns and old
outbuildings are being rapidly replaced by
new, and when the work is finished the
Garden Spot will be better than ever before.

since YOU lift has been pretty rough, AM
the hi autiful was never less than 4s feet

have had some rains which have packed the

hard to get about. The trails are all blocked

EASTERN WASHINGTON.

Eastern Washington has been so re-
peatedly written up" from SO many dif-
ferent staudpoints that nothing new re-
mains to be saic. The charges have
been rung so repeatedly on the diversity
of our resources that the subject has be-
come tirssome to educated ears through
hackneyed and monotonoas iteration
In q general way We talk Of our ting eli
mate which permits the growth OF all
the cereals and fruits common to the
temperate zone, Of our fruitful soil, en-
bracing prairie, ,pasturesnd meadow iandsi
OF our magnificent water courses with
their lmiIless water power; St our noun
tain ranges fringed with forests OF hne
timber and bearing III their bosous im-
menss depo,ita OF mineral wealth: OF our
herds and docks. and the natural increase
thereof, subsisting the year roGnd on our
natural pastures, in short OF sil the var
ious industries, now in their infancy,
which are grouped under the generic
but somewhat vague title of ''resodrces.
1t is heavy task to classify these ''re-
sources" under general headings, but to
itemlse them individually would be the
labor of lifetime. We have become SO
accustomed 10 the area Of eastern Wash
ington tha. we speak of so many thous-
and square milss with the ilrPpaEey OF
familiarity, and forget that Ii comprises
:, half dozen different sections, each dIf-
fering from the others in resources and
local and geographical differences. The
WaIIa Walla country is as different from
the Palouse as though thousand m'ios
If territory interviewed. The Spoken,
the ColriIle, the Big Bend, the Yakima
and OKinagan each have their peculiar
local .ni distinctive geographical and
Typographical differences which dis'in-
puishe, them from their surrounding
territory. Each of the districts named
have resources peculiar to themselves,
and the area emtrac. in each district is
90 great, that it is impossible for any one
individual to do justice to the separate
localities when writing of so comirehen-
sive subject as eastern Washington.
Each of thes, districts have their towns
and local papers which are earnest IN
u, srtising its natural wealth and the
wants demanded by the necessities ofIis
expanding civilization In each of them
are plenty of opportunities for Perma-
nent and profitable investment, either for
private enterprise or associated capital
Eastern Washington is on the eve of
great expansion in every department OF
industry. The fetters of isolation no
longer eucumbers her development, and
under the influences OF her fertile soil
and balmy skies she will speedily expand
into highly prosperous commonwealth
of active and contentei citizens.

CROOK ON MILITARY TACTICS.

General Crook, in his annual report,
and in the course Of description of the
difficulties of warfare against Indiana,
says:
The tendency Of military drill and
discipline Is to make the individual SOL
dier a machine depenent upon the Of
ticer in commar.d for it's movement and
action, and upon cohesion with Its fellow
machines for rs efficiency. His indi-
v,duaiiry Is completely lost In his Orzani-
za,ion, and he therefore cannot compete
or eqnai terms with an enemy whose
individuality under all circumstances is
perfect
Ii the General had said that such is
the tendency of West Point drill and
discipline, he would have been perfectly
correct, for, as German officer recent
ly remarked, the system Of Frederick
the Great is still held in the highest es-
seem at Wes, Point. the fact Ii that
the modern military AMIN Germany
for examples to individuaiizs the sol
dier and make him as independent a.
possible of his officers, In action The
open formation nos rendered necessary
by arms Of precision and long range, rem
der impossible the close personal super
vision Of oficerf. Armies do not even
attack by regiments now They attack
by companies. and the companies them
ssIse. attack by groups, as the nature Of
the ground and the intelligence of each
officer, non-commissioned officer and pri-
yatA dictates The attack consists Of
running, creeping, firing, lodging and
hiding, nntil sufficient number Of men
get close enough up TO the enemys front
20 make rush II is really the Indian
method, and the sooner our oficsrs diss-
buss their mind. of the notion that the
Indian rode Of warfare is not military
and become imbued sith the idea that
the days of NATURALIZATION have come
and those Of machine tactics have gone,
the better it will be fox them and the set
tiers On the frontier.

NO TERRITORIAL DIPISIOY.

EDITOR STATEsMAN:-Some time Sg)
| saw an article in the Union advocating
the division of this TecritoTI,as the OalT
means it offers us OF becoming intensely
prosperous. Now let US look at the
plain facts. The Northern Pacific rall-
road runs through the length and breadth
of the whole Territory. The Territorial
legislature will have, in fact 1t as.eady
possesses, the right to regulate fares and
freights, and this right has~leyer bsen
successfully disputed According to this
we have the upper hand OF the railroad
company. Divide the Territory, each
section ghtipg the other for advantages,
and the railroad people have US where
they want Us; they could manage us as
they please This question, | beli9ve
is more important than any other that
ever has come up for the consideration
of its inhabitants ever since the fOrma-
ton of the Territory, because the freights
to ship ping points will regulate the price
Of land in the country, the price OF prop
erty in towns and cities, the profits Of
personal industry and the happiness and
contentedness of our whole population.
The editor Of the Union AYERS that the
above argument is the only one that
could beput against the division OF the
Territory, and it is one he makes no ef-
sort to refute. But, Mr. Editor, be Is
sadly mistaken about that. There are
a great many more arguments to be ad-
vanced, but will here mention only one,
and that is the eIpensiveness OF tbs pro-
cess of forming and maintaining two goy-
ernmente, where the burden OF main
tanning one is none too Light. We would
have to pay double the amount of salaries
to double the amount of ofiicers, and Gcd
knows We have as many of them at pres-
ent Is We ought to have. Then comes
the building of another capitol, a peni-
tentiary, an insane asylum and other
public buildings which we would neees-
aarily have to erect, to say nothing about
the little Jobs in contracting for which
viii have to be paid by as small popu-
lation az we have, and this wonld increase
taxes on property until We would be IN
a. ..o g. o.. K.ns.s M. a faur vazrs
ago, when the people had to leave that
state, DO. being sBle to make enough
money to pay the taxes This state Of
affairs was brought about by the people
of the State allowing the railroad corpor-
ations, Office seeking shysters etc, to
make laws for them Concluding will
mention the sentence in Dir. Stewars's
argumen. defending the integrity of the
Territory where he says that eternal
vigilance is the price Of liberty it
should read tha. 'eternal wstchfulness
il our only means Of keeping that arro-
gaui railroad company from taking our
v.n earned money on: of our pocket

good many men, and a, present not know
ing Who are the friends or the foes OF
the people, or Who are the prime movers
In tho division move, let US commence
to watch the editor Of the Union a little.
