LEWISTON AND MOSCOW.

Moscow is going to give Lewiston an.
summer. While the old gang of side.
walk statesmen there have had their
eyes fixed on the distant chimera of an
nexation, they have neglected their
home defences. and are now prey to
the Moscow despoilers. Moscow will
build a $4,000 court house, and the new
judge who succeeds Buck next month
will make Moscow his headquarters
and all the United States business will
be transferred from Lewiston to Mos
COW, and the land Office will follow it.
Grated the crazy annexation gang down
there too long, and as We predicted
years ago, they have kil ed the town,
and nothing can resurrect it until those
demented annexaiionists are sat upon
so severely that they will never rise
again. The interests of Lewiston have
been sacrificed right along to crafty the
ambition and vanity of the clique OF
sidewalk statesmen there, and now
their fellow w-citizens have to stand the
consequences. The jawbone that has
been expended on annexation would
have bnilt the Clearwater bridge, opened
the reservation, erected fine public
buildings and put Lewiston where Spo-
kane Falls is to-day-heyond the power
of jealous rivals to destroy her-if her
energies had been rightly directed.
Unfortunately, the crazy annexationiss
have been given so much rope that they
have strangled the town as we'll as them
selves. and have done all they knew to
throttle Camas prairie and Idaho county
as well. What Lewiston needs is more
live business men and fewer politicians.

A QUARANTINE AND VETERINARY LAW

A prominent stock grower of Camas
prairie called on us last week and sug-
gested that a quarantine and veterinary
law be passed at the next session of the
ieeislature-the idea being that all i'm
portations of live stock into Idaho terri
tory be inspected by territorial veter-
marian in order to prevent diseased
cattle from affecting our herds. The
live stock industry of this territory
is attaining such grand proportions, and
forms such a large aggregate proportion
of our tax producing property, that the
measure deserves serious consideration.
Idaho in the past has been singularly
exempt from the contagious diseases
from which live stock elsewhere has
suffered, but this is mainly owing to the
fact that we have been exporting in
stead of importing. But with the intro
duction of large bodies of imported cat
tie from states where contagious dis
eases exist, we have no longer any
guarantee of exemption, and the time
has come when quarantine law and the
creation of territorial veterinary is de-
manded as necessary precaution
against the destruction of great and
growing industry.
The duty of the veterinary would be
to inspect on their arrival at the terrific
rial quarantine yards all cattle imported
into Idaho, and to detain all infected
stock to visit localities within the ter
ritory where diseases exist, and advise
as to the mode of treatment to prevent,
cnre or restrict the plague; to enforce
quarantine against infected states, and to
do all he knows for the enforcement of
sanitary laws for the protection of live
stock and domestic animals. An ex-
pert veterinarian would saye to stock
growers the amount of his salary
thousand fold.
The matter comes more particularly
within the province of the stock associ-
tons in the territory, and our county
stock society might take it up and open
c. rrespondence with the territorial stock
association to draft law and take steps
to have it presented to the legislature
last winter.

THE CHINOOK.

Since our last publication, the chinook
has cleared the prairie of snow, and the
days of hard winter are numbered.
Once more the bosom Of mother earth
is bare, the creeks are booming, the
rivers are on the rise, and fears are en-
tertained for the safety of bri dges
wherever the warm breath of the re-
sistless chinook has made itself felt.
These chinook winds. bringing in their
wake warm rains. are the main stay of
this country, and without their benefi-
cent influence the SHOWS of winter
would remain until thawed by the fierce
rays of the m idsummer sun, and the
ice king would hol high carnival over
IA dreary, inhospitat le domain of frozen
territory, which, under the balmy
breath of that blessed dispensaton
known as the chinook, frees the ground
from frost and snow in a few hours, pre-
pares the moist soil for the plow of the
husbandman. and causes spontaneous
growth of nutricious grasses wherewith
the hungry kline recover their wasted
tissues. Balmy chinook Sweet har-
binger of spring Zephyr of the south
west, at thee we shoot off our dia-
phragm Herald of spring, All Hail !!

DIED.

GARDNER-ln Grangeville January q. 1888
Mary Gardner, aged years and day.
WOOD. In Grangeville, January 30, 1885, Alice
NJ Wood, eldest daughter of Charles b. and
Lizzie &. Wood aged II years IL months and
20 days.
"Ay, thou art for the grave; thy glances shine
Too brightly to shine long; another Spring
shall deck her for mems eyes,-but not for
thine
Sealed in sleep that knows no waking"
1t is with sorrowful heart that we chronicle
the demise of Alice NJ. Wood Only a week
ago she was in the full flush OF health, the hope
aud pride of her parents and relatives and the
beloved of host of friends who were looking
forward to her approaching bridal with feelings
of atfectionate interest, But the dark shadow
OF the angel Azrael was upon her and with al
most shocking suddenness beckoned herhence.
For several days she had been employed with
busy fingers upon her bridal costume in the
glad anticipation OF youth, for her approaching
marriage, and when the garment was COM
pleted, she said to her sister, that after the GER
emony she would lay the dress away and be
buried in it. On Wednesday, January 25 she
was attacked with scarlet fever. and grew rap
idly worse, losing consciousness, and on Sum
day it was known that her hours on earth were
numbered. But she rallied toward the eve.
ming, and recovered consciousness SO far as to.
talk intelligently of her approaching end, with
out tremor of fear, and,to express her wish to
be buried in her wedding garments. At $50
O'Clock on Monday morning her soul passed
under ths shadow of life, to explore the mys-
terry of that world in which all are forever
young. In the death of young girl there is
something colo and cruel, something SO ut
terly beyond our control, that we feel like sink
ing into despair at its presence But we have
nothing to do with death /; through life we may
nurture and cherish, but death steps in and
robs us Of our care. The gardener goes forth
among his flowers and finds his loyeliest bios
som gone. with anguish he demands, "Who
plucked shat se?" The attendant answers
"The Master" And the gardener is satisfied
For we may feel assured that one so young so
fair, chaste, so trne-heertcd, has been trans
planted into more peaceful sanctuary than
this troubled world OF ours. And what an ex-
quisite and beautiful thing it is, when the trou-
bled heart is touched and softened with feel
ings of tranquil happiness and aE2ction, to
have the patient angels of loved ones still fur
ther soothe it with the balm of tender mem
ories. Happy indeed they who love
one dead to be ever near to inspire them with.
happy and noble emotions.
The simple but affecting burial service of the
Patrons of Husbandry was performed over tho
grave by the brethren and sisters of Charity
Grange, of which she was an active member.
and as the casket was hid from human eyes for
ever, the cheerful sun shone through barrier
OF clouds and illumined the cemetery towards
the rising sun with a burst of sunshine, typical
of the Immortality which awaits us beyond the
grave

ABOUT NEW STATES.

The proposition to cut off portion OF
the territory of Dakota and admit il
into the union as a state is meeting with
serious opposition in congress, and il
admitted at all it will be as a whole.
There has grown up sentiment in oppo-
sition to admitting any more huge tracts
of land, inhabited principally by grass
hoppers, gophers and jackrabbits. Every
territory will be gladly welcomed at the
proper stage of its growth, when there is
poplation large enough, with the vari.
ous interests that require more COM
plex and ramfed form of government
than territory affords. Washington
territory would no doubt have received
an enabling act from this congress but
for The passage of the woman suffrage
bill. The growing importance of such
commerce as she possesses on the
coast, and her railroad interests have
attained such prominence as is worthy
of the care and encouragement of the
best form of government, but in saying
this much We do not wish to be misrep-
resented as favoring the annexation OF
these counties to her. Washington is
great growing territory, and is perfectly
able to stand on her own merits without
extraneous assistance from her neigh
bors.

Mr.. STURGEON continues to defend

He says:
Gan appeal has been made to us to
use our influence to prevent the discus
sion, but this is absurd. Our influence
would not prevent the discussion, and
we would not prevent it if we could.
Do these friends really think that we
are playing with words and have no
solemn convictions? So far from ceas-
ing to ask for an evangelical basis at
this particular meeting of the Baptist
Union, the brethren who desire it will
never discontinue their request until
they obtain it," And then he adds
We have come to the parting of the
ways, and the old school and the new
cannot go much further in company
nor ought they to do so. Let them
part with as little friction as possible. /"
