A-N ERROR or COMMERCE..

The Boise Statesman has fallen
into very common error with ref.
erence to the classification of the
products OF the Northwest In the
markets OF the world. II says:
In connection with the efforts now be-
ing made 10 protect the forests OF the
Eastern states, it Is interesting to notice
that, while n few years ago the shipment
of lumber by the way Of Cape Horn TO
the Pacific coast formed large part OF
the carrying trade of American vessels.
the situation is cxncils reversed to-day
as regards direction. II is becoming ex.
tremely difficult 10 get timber in the
Fast tor kcclsons, masis and spars for

terprising ship-owners and builders sra

supplies. Oregon pine Is now used for
these purposes, and the industry OF pre-.
pairing tho timber for ship-building is
daily growing in Importance.

are correct, but justice To tho oth6r

Some of the democratic papers
have sought TO criiticlse and con-
demn, as an Inconsistency, the at
tltude OF those papers In Washing
ton that have advocated the aboli-
tlon of the burdensome tariff duty,
exacted by the British government
through its auxiliary. the dominion
parliament, upon machinery trans
ported across the line by enterprls-
ing American explorers, for the pur-
pose of developing the rich mineral
regions of British Columbia. There
is no Inconsistency in II.
For hundreds OF years the British
government and the people Of Brit
ish Columbia have been aware Of
the existence ofthls region of bound
less mineral wealth, but no effort
was made in the direction OF its de-
velopment. Had IL been left to
them 1t is more than probable that
no effort would have been made In
that direction for thousand years
TO come. But the country has been
penetrated by American prospectors
under great difficulties, and through
their energy 1t is now In an ad-
Yanced state of development and
progress.
Following the American prospec-
tor has come the American capital
ist, and the work Is progressing as
rapidly ss the circumstance will
permit. All this Il due to Ameri-
can enterprise, and the future of the
country depends upon Americans.
IL Is due, therefore, TO the Amer
lean miners that the concessions
asked for be granted 10y the donln-
ion government. Even by making
such concessions tho government
would benefit Itself and the people
of British Columbia to II greater
extent than the American miners
would he benefited.
In view of these peculiar local
conditions there IL 10 Inconsistency
in the advocacy of the removal of
the duty on mining machinery by
the dominion government, even
though the advocate of that measure
may be u republican and u believer In
protection TO American industries,
wherever the products Of American
labor is liable to be brought into
competition with the products OF
the pauper labor of Europe, under "A
free trade policy.
II Is IA separate proposition entire

The arrest OF n man In Nevada
for abe,ting the lottery business in

state. Millions of dollars annually
pour into the colIers of lottery com

The lottery business n an industry

If this can not be dome by argument,
the states would bc still further JUS

THE NEW IRRfGATYON
LIUy,

Reports indicate that the people
Of the Yakima valley are highly
pleased with the prospective work.
Ing OF the law recently enacted by
the legislature on the subject of ir-
rigation. The essential feature OF
the new law consists in regarding
Irrigation canals ms sort of public
necessity, TO be paid for by adjacent
land owners, somewhat after the
fashion that prevails In cltien as to
grading streets. II provides for the
formation of irrigation districts and
for the Assessment of lands within
each district 20 defray the expense
Of constructing the waterways and
maintaining them forirrigation pur-
poses,
! In country dependent upon ar
tificial means for watering the lands
1t Is easy TO perceive that the dis
trict assessment plan might be the
best that could he adopted. Where
the matter of building irrigatlng
chan nels Is left TO individual enter
prise the needed irrigation il per-
baps long delayed for want of CON
certcd action, and where no law
prescribes the mode Of proceeding,
it is perhaps difficult to procure
an agreement ms TO details
and proportionate expenditures. If
1t were left TO individuals residing
along a given street in a city to do
the grading, no doubt street grading
would be long delayed and greatly
10 the disadvantage Of the public.
But where the law provides for an
assessment district, and thus takes
the matter out of individual con-
troll and provides for an equitable
distribution Of the expenses incl
dent TO the work, the enterprise
moves along harmoniously-
TO those not accustomed TO irriga-
ton, the task is looked upon ms
lsborious and burdensome. So In

THE cDUR DALEwEs

Capital Is oftentimes timid about
grasping great opportunities. It Is
conservative to n fault, and prefers
TO run along In old grooves.
10 this reason must be ascribed
the slow development of many
promising mining properties In the
Conr d'Aienes. The ledgcs are
there In large numbers, many of
them giving as favorable Indications
as tho great properties which are
now turning out hundreds OF tons
of ore daily. but they are undevel-
opcd, and the touch OF capital Is
iireded to convert them into pro-
ducerS.
The prospects, In the Cmur d. 'Alene
mountains do not pay for their de-
velopment. The ore is low grade,
but the veins ARE we!l-dcfined, broad
and Of great depth. They cut
through the country formation TOR
miles, through deep canyons and
over high mountains, and every
prospect that has been intolligentiy
and thoroughly developed has
proved n bonanza In every mine
that Is now being worked the ore
improves with depth. The vein
widens, and the ore Is freer Of quartz
and Qangue.
But 1t lakes money to put uDde-
veloped properties upon paying
basis. The ore body must be tapped
at great depths, long tunnels must
pierce the mountains, aud concen-
tmtors are usually required, though
there are notable exceptions to this
rule. And herein lies capitals
advantage and opportunity. Prom
isipg properties can be bought for IA
reasonable price, In fact for con-
alteration that would prove nominal
iu comparison with the great value
they would soon attain.
The REVIEW knows of no more
promising field for capital than that
offered In this great mineral belt
Without question mines can be
bought to-day for few thousan
dollars which an expenditure Of
t25, 900 or $50, 900 would improve into
properties worth hundreds of thou
sands Of dollars. This remark
able statement Is substan-
tisted by the experience
Of those who have already
invested their capital. Scores Of
Western capitalists have organized
companies, and ARE reaping a rich
; reward today. But they can not
develop the whole country un-
aided, ind will encourage In every
possible manner the investment OF
Eastern money.
The Coeur d. 'Alene camps enjoy n
valuable advantage In the way Of
ruilroud connection. They are
reached by both the Union and
Northern Pacific lines. The moment
mine begins TO produce Its ore can
lie shipped to market. Another ad-
vantage possessed by the cmur
d'Aicncs over dry ore campo is tie
fnct that lead ores are In great de
kziand ut all the snielters, to serve rs
fiuxes Tor the dry ores. The bidding
for tue Cpur d'Alene silyer-iead
ores has become 80 spirited that In
some cases the snielters offer to treat
them free of charge.
This great opportunity will not
always be available. Now Is the

THE IjJASHIN6T0N PRESS.

Although Washington Is the
youngest state in the Union, its
newspapers are looked upon with
admiration throughout all the older
states. The so-called country
newspapers" OF this state are espe-
clally conspicuous for their business
like features and their freedom from
that boorishness which has usually
characterized the provincial press.
With very few exceptions, the week.
ly papers published in the small
towns In Washington are far in adj
vance of many of the dallles In the
boastful "cities" of the East and the
Middle West.
This condition Is rendered possi-
BILE by the spirit of enterprise that
pcrvades the whole people of the Pa
ciiic Northwest, who are entitled to
n liberal share of the credit due
these excellent publications. With
out the support and hearty cooper
alton of an Intelligent and enter
pri3lng constituency no newspaper,
however intelligently conducted
and vigorously pushed, can be ex-
pected to thrive.
Tho home paper is one of
the most potent factors in the devel-
opment and progress Of new
country, and, rs rule, the whole
community is judged according to
the merits of its local paper, II is in
reality a photograph OF the people
1t represents. Itisimportant, there
fore, that every citizen should feel a
personal interest in his home paper,
and do everything in his power to
maintain IL at the highest standard.
The excellence of the newspapers
of Washington Is convincing evil
dence that, as n rule, the people Of
this state appreciate this fact; and IL
may not he deemed ftilsome iiattery
to add that in such manifestation OF
their appreciation of faithful
champion the people exhibit a
degree Of sound business sense that
might be emulated with great profit
by the people Of the older states.
