on f street. May the good work prove
contagious. With our new water
works plant the dust can be kept down
and new bright coors will not as for
mcrly get dingy in one month. Try
it and see if our assertion will not prove
true.
Without single exception the Lew
iston TELLER stands at the head of the
row now of all the papers of Idaho for
news and neatness. We do not print
by steam or rotary power, yet none of
them can compare with us for clean,
clear print, no matter how much they
brag and blow. We stand on our
merits.
The improved appearance of the TELL
Err this week is due not wholly to our
new material. Read the new "ads. :"
Note the artistic ability displayed in
shaping them up. Printers ink is a
good thing when rightly applied, but
it takes an artist to spread it properly.
The TELLER has no fear of its contem-
poraries in this field.
Joe Vincent, Will Henderson and
John Akin, who have been hunting,
trapping and prospecting in the noun
tains during the winter, returned last
Saturday to the haunts of civilization,
well Drowned by exposure but hearty
and happy. They report that sport
and game were both plentiful, and are
well pleased with their experience.
The Idaho Daily Statesman comes to
us this week with a flying colored boom
edition. The eagle fies and screams for
Idaho, Gem of the mountains, the for
ty-fourth state in the Union. All south
ern Idaho is jubilant over the prospects
judging from the exchanges of the week.
Northern Idaho too joins hands with
you and will combine energy and enter
prise to push forward the new empire
so rich III resources to progress and pros
perity.
The columA w9ite-up, headed "Gen-
esee," which has been running in the
Advertiser for the last five or six
months, is growing very stale and
ancient. OF course it is good reading
matter and all that, but it should be
torn down and the type placed up in
something else before it becomes mossy.
Too much of good thing gets to be
monotonous, and as chestnut that
nut surely has thrown up all such
claims.
Maj. S. Truax was in town the first
of the week. He had just returned
from the Sound country, and run over
to see what was in our boom prospect.
So favorably was he impressed with the
outlook that he made arrangements tc
form partnership with w. p. Bell
our city and county surveyor, to open
an office at this place. They have, we
understand, contracted already to dc
much of the surveying and plating OF
the new streets and additions to the
city.

PECULIAR MAIL MATTER.-Th,
United States government has vainl,
endeavored for years to educate tn
people up to proper knowledge @
what should not he sent through tn
mails. 1t seems to be impossible to fl.
permanently in the minds of certail
American citizens that nitro-glycerin

they are stamped, and glassware canno
be kept in shape, papier-mache clock
