that vicinity, spoke strongly, urging the
necessity of railroad. Mr.. Eakin
said he had in one year lost 1000
bushels of wheat because he could not
get 1t to market.
Vice President Sherwood thought some
of the members of the board of trade
might like to ask the visitors some ques-
tons. +. J. Webster avaIled himself of
this suggestion to ask DR.. Kelly how long
the railroad would have to be? The
doctor said the delegation had had an
interview with the Northern Pacific Off
Gals now in the city and they had told
them that that road was about to build
from point near Pullman to Juiletta
in the Potlatch country this year.
From there the road would be twenty
two miles to Lewiston. In answer to
another question the doctor said the
whole route from Pullman to Lewiston
via Julietta would be between fifty and
sixty miles. A delegation from Pullman
had been in the city to-day and called
on the Northern Pacific engineers, who
bad promised TO commence the road at
or just south Of Pullman. Mr.. Norman
said the Lewiston delegation could rest
assured the board of trade and the peo-
pie of Spokane would do all they could
to get the road built this year. No
branch line out of Spokane was more
important than this line to Lewiston.
We need the fruits and vegetables of
that country very much, as good fruit
and vegetables were very difficult to get
here.
Mr.. Sherwood heartily Endorsed Mr..
Norman's remarks. He was particular
ly pleased to know there was prospect
of getting good fruit, as he believed
every man in Spokane was sick last
year from eating bad fruit.
On motion of G. r. Burns, Messrs
Webster, Burns, Cutter, Chapman, and
Furth, with the president and secretary
were appointed a committee to draft
suitable resolutions expressive of the
feeling of the board on the Lewiston
railroad project. The committee is also
to confer with the railroad officials to
morrow morning at 10 O'Clock and witt
the Lewiston delegation at 1880 a. IN.
The following resolutions were theI
reported by the committee and unani
mously adopted, after which the meet
ing adj urned:
Resolved, That We heartily indors
the action of the people of Lewiston an,
Camas Prairie in their efforts to Obtain
, railroad facilities, and earnestly pledg
them the active, untiring support of TIA
people of Spokane Falls, believing tina
the building of a line of railroad int
Lewiston and the adjacent territory wi
, be of immense importance to the com
mercial development of that countr
and to the advancement of bot
sections and he 1t, further,
/ Resolved, That this board of trad
. make an appeal and earnestly rogue:
the Northern Pacific to construct an
equip line of railroad from Pullma
to Lewiston in time for the moving
t the crops this season.

THE
SSP0KANE FALLS REVIEW, y
DAILY AND WEEKLY
lis THE-
Leading Journal of Washington


1t is typical Of a live city.
1t represents the entire State.
Its news service is the wonder of
Washington and Idaho journalism.
1t has more special news features than
any other paper north of Oregon.
Its views on all public questions are
timely. forcible, just and fearless.
1t has no political axes to grind.
1t has no political fences to preserve.
Its editorial utterances are invariably
written by its own editors.
Eastern and home people often ex-
press surprise that SO able journal
should be published in so new State.
The explanation lies in the fact that its
proprietors expend every dollar receiv-
ed from their patrons in the improve
ment of the paper. They are not run
ming for congress, nor making trips TO
Europe, nor buying steam yachts They
are buying news and giving II to theiI
readers.
