THE COUNTY HEAT AGAIN.

We have received private letter from
Moscow which advises us that about a
dozen men in and around that berg are
working up or trying to work up another
county seat strife for the coming campaign
That nearly all of them are interested in
town lot speeulations in that town and ii
few in themselves more available for
county officers by having the county seat
at Moscow because they have a residence
there, that they do not discuss the ad-
vantages or disadvantages which change
would bring to the taxpayers and citizens
of tho whole county, that they fan up
all the prejudice they can invent against
Lewiston people and make the Mirror
their mouth piece. Ii this be so and these
men have any considerable endorsement in
that section Of the county, We may have
to fight the battle over again. Lewiston
has always maintained that the financial
condition of the county did not warrant
the change at the present, that II removal
at present would necessitate another
change when counties were to be re-or-
ganized after we become part of Wash
ineton, matter which is quite prob
able in the near future, and that in no
case is it wise to disturb the financial con
dition Of counties, merely to enhance the
value Of the lots of few town lot specu-
lators in airy town, and We presume tina,
Lewiston will hold to these views at the
coming contest, if there be one. The
Lewiston people generally take no stock
in stirring up feud between the people
of one section of the county, aud those OF
another section, aud We entertain none
other than kind feelings towards all sec
eions alike, wishing them all prosperity
If there be mischief makers who seek to
fan up .discord, we condemn them, and
will be ready to detect aud expose their
plots wherever we find them.

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC Elk
PLANTATION OF THEIR RATES.

We find the following in the Oregon
ian Of the 10Th Of March:
Before the Northern Pacific was fin
ished, Oregon and Washington were Port
land territory. The merchants Of Port
land were dependent upon that territory
for support. The Northern Pacific Rail
road Company realized this, and de,erm-
ned to protect portlands interests, and
low rates were made from New York to
Portland. In order to enable Portands
merchants to ship good from New York
to Portland adyantageously at compared
with those offered by the water route,
rates were made the same from New York
as from st. Paul, in order to protect
Portland merchants from St. Paul and
Minneapolis competition. BY the rates
now ia use st. Paul is prevented from
selling goods in Washington Or Oregon.
That territory rightlully belongs to Port
land, and were it taken away from it Its
large business houses would be Compelled
to close up for want of patronage. 1t is
to the interest of the Northern Pacific
that this be prevented. The railroad
company, therefore, makes St. Paul or
New York merchants who wish to ship
to points in Washington pay full rate to
Portland, plus the local rate from Port
land to the point to which shipment was
made.
Here is a concession that Portland
merchants are dependaa. upon Oregon
and Washington for their trade, and con
sequently the merchants and producers
in the interior must furnish the money
to buy these goods, at Portland prices in
Guiding the profits of the Portland merch-
ants and the expenses of rents, storage
and carriage and the freishts over the
Northern Pacific This might be all
right for the people west and south aud
north of Portland But how is it with
those merchants and their patrons east of
Portland, who not only have to pay these
charges but also back freight to the
interior at high rates in order to get their
goods to points along the road. That
company propose to build up Portland
merchants at the expense of interior deal
ers who are the consumers and furnish
all the money. Would it not be better
policy that these Portland merchants be
forced to close business rather than that
the producer be forced to close his bust
ness of producing, by having to pay these
unnecessary additional charges? This
explanation is very lame and cannot be
upheld by any principle Of justice and
] eauity.

themselves with which to make more and
better improvements in the country. If,
as Montgomery says, the Northern Pacific
leases the q. r. d .. Cos lines and thus
shuts off the Oregon Short Line from
the Baker City branch, it will furnish to
the Oregon Short Line, perhaps, a strong
er inducement to be more prompt in
building their line down Snake river and
thence to Puget Sound, and thus she
will have prestige above them all for
this whole Northwest country, and for
the relief and prosperity Of the whole
basin Of the Columbia Such a move
ment Of the o. $. l.. at an early day is a
measure deyoutly to b. wished.
