VITAL STATISTICS,
An Important Address to ths Physicians
OF the United States.

Hon. Robert l.. Porter, superintendent
Of census at Washington, has sent to the
REVIEW the follow ny Important address
to yhA sicians. with the request that II bt

purpose or obtaining more accurate re-
turns of deaths than II Is possible for the
enumrrators to make. IL is earnestly
hoped that physicians in every part of the
country will cooperate with the census
Office in this important work. The record
should be kept from June /, 1889, to May
81, 1890. Nearly 260OO of these registra-
tior books were filled up and returned to
the office in 1880, and nearly all OF them
used for statistical purposes. II is hoped
that double this number will be obtained
for the eleventh census.
Physicians not receiving registers can
obtain them by sending their names and
addresses to the census office, and, with
the register, an official envelope which re.
quires no stamp will be provided for their
return to Washington.
IL all medical and surgical practitioners
throughout the country will lend their aid /,
the mortality and vital statistics of the
eleventh census will be more comprehen-
sive and complete than they have ever
been. Every physician should take q per.

THE NEW STATE.

Idaho, "the gem OF the mountains" is
soon 10 become q state. In natural re-
sources, wealth and population she 10 en-
titled to admission. Her people have
elected delegates to form q constitutions,
which will be presented To congress in
December. Delegate Dubois says that tho
proposed constitution will be ratified by
congress in the early part Of the session
and that state officers will bs elected -
early az February next. 1t is generally
conceded by all parties that this plan 10

being considered, and we congratulate our
neighbor upon her encouraging prospects.

establish the commonwealth which IL now

THE FUTURE GRAIN MARKET.

The wheat crop of the Palouse country
promises to be enormous this year, even
better than usual. A larger amount of
acreage is in grain than ever before, and
with improved facilities for shipping out
the product farmers of that famed region
have cause for cheerfulness. Many fields
will doubtless yield as much as sixty bush
els 10 the acre this year. The time is not
far of when the bulk of this great giain
product will be ground into -four at Spo-
kane Falls mills aud shipped from here
tn ali parts Of the world. The relations
between this city and the thriving people
who make up the population of the coun-
try are growing closer every day, as their
interests are linked together. If one Of
the chief grain markets of the future is to
be at this point, this fact means q great
deal to farmers Of Eastern Washington,
It will be much better than shipping it to
Minnea polls or Chicago.

THE impi-ss,vu viesal,s that Henry
Willard may oppose some of the railroad
interests of this city, but the Review is
Disposed to regard this as an erroneous
view of the matter. The distinguished
railroader is to visit this region within
the next two we, ks. and he will perhaps
find it in accordance with his pleasure to
stop in this city and look it over. He has
not seen it since 1883. and therefore has
uevet seen it. He will doubtless be sur
pTised at the strides it has made and will
perceive at glance that it holds the key
to the situation. so to speak, and that no
railroad company can afford to do other
than maintain the most friendly relations
with its business interests. He would
perhaps be surprised to learn what per
cent of the earnings Of the Northern Pa.
ci6c road Is paid by Spokane Falls. and If
fully advised ss TO the Disadvantages un.
der which our shippers have had to COM
pete he might be disposed to favor a
change in the company's policy as to this
point. 1t is at least worth while for an
invitation to be extended to Mr.. Willard to
stop in this city on his forthcoming trip
to the Northwest.

marked yesterday that for the immediate

liable citizen in each of those localities he
will axe application to the government
for rain gauges and other apparatus
necessary for the measurement of rainfall.
In return for their pains the voluntary
observers will receive the Monthly Weather
Review ami other signal service
publications. The observers will
report once month, and their reports
will be officially published. If properly
conducted these observations will be OF
great value not only to the farmers, but To
the people generally. In addition to the
immediate benefits the records will be val
uable in the future, as showing the
changes in meteorological conditions, as
wrought by the settlement and develop
ment of the country. They will also be
the means of settling numerous meteoro.

the precipitation reports will make q good
