LET THE PEOPLE COME IN

Since the house committee on pub
lie land, sonles time ago, submitted n
report recommending that four
townships In Stevens county be
thrown open to settlement, nothing
further has been heard from WASH
ington on the subject. This means
that nothing further has been done
In that direction. There are many
reasons. however, why congress and
the land department should hasten
this matter as much o. possible.
-Four townships is equivalent to
IA square miles. In this instance
II represents an agricultural empire,
possessing capabilities exceeding all
those Of some Of the Eastern states.
Grain and grasses. fruits and vege-
tables, stock and fowls may
DO produced on that tract IN
quantities sufficient to supply
tho entire Northwest with theas
essential commodities, In addition
thereto, the trnct contains Superior
timber and mineral deposits Of un-
told value. 80,
Nevertheless, It Is practically un-

mcnts upon tho original method that
this country easily leads the world III
tho quality, es also In the quantity OF
its pulp product Not all OF tho pulp
produced In this country is male by tho
chemical process, however there being
many large mills which turn out pup
by tho grinding process, which is vory
simple. one Of tho most extensive
plants OF this latter kind Is located ai
Enfield, in Piscutaquis county, where
the Penobsoot river affords mfllcient
water power to run all tho cotton fac-
tories In New England. Two years
ago that part of Enfield where
the big mill now stands was "A
dense wilderness; bu, the materials
for pulp.makinR were there IN
abundance, with water power unlimited
running to waste, and these resources
have been so well developed that to-day
busy manuhcturing village occupies
the territory which so short a time since
was given over TO tho moose aud bear.
A dam 300 feet long, and aiiording at
different periods from II to % ieoi head,
has been built, with canal 100 feet
long 100 feet wide and 10 feet deep, AMI
mill is3xs0 feet erected. In the CON
struction Of the dam there were used
=, 800. 900 feet OF hemlook timber, many
thousands OF tons OF stone and ~ tons OF
bolt iron. Tho mill has "a water wheels,
which yiold 1880 horse power, and II
grindstones, its capacity being 20 tons oil
ground pulp daily, requiring lOOW
cords OF wood a year.
The grindsiones are df,y iucheB In di-
nmeter. with six-inch face, against
which the wind is forcea by hydraulic
pressure OF ninety pounds to the square
inch. The pulp passes from the stones
through coarse screens beneath, which
retain all unground fragments OF wood,
thence through large pipes into cement
wells. From the wells the pulp Is
pumped into fine screens, where the
splinters and foreign matter are re-
moved, after which 1t flows into stock
chests and thence TO the "wet machines"
ON the door above, where 1t Is subjected
TO pressure OF 800 to 500 pounds
to the square inch, comiug from
the presses In sheets. Notwithstanding
this enormous pressure, the ground pulp
as II is shipped to paper mills contains
moro than 80 per cent water, and the
great expense OF transportation thus
made necessary has induced many man.
ufacturers to erect paper mills alongside
their pulp works.
Tho works at Mortgages as that par,
Of Enfield where the great pulp mills
stands has been named, have cost nearly
sooo,O0o, and about them a pretty village
has grown up with stores. schools, hotel,
neat dwellings and some additional
manufacturing enterprises The biz mill
Is two years old, but the village was built
In few months.

SER yIcE PEMSIoNs.

The senate committee on pensions
has placed n quietus on the service
pension bill, which should never
become n law, and certainly never
will In its present shape. AS
pointed out Ivy the committee, In u
unanimous report, the governments
first duty In to its defenders who
were disabled in line of duty, or
who may since have become do-
pendent. These veterans ought to
be awarded the fullest measure of
help, and not he pushed aside by
the great host who came out OF the
war without n scratch, thousands
Of whom have since become pros
perous. The public treasury can
not endure 40 severe u strain.
rhore is n limit 10 the generosity Of
the country. That limit may fall
short Of u high sense of duty. New
erlhcless It exists, and the inevi-
table consequence of the passage of
the service bill would be seen In
a heavy drain upoG the treasury,
and "a reaction of tne pension senti-
mcnt of the country that would
work n hardship upon meritorious
measures and lead to the rejection
of the majority OF the private pen
sion bills, which seem SO essential
In order to reach u Just solution OF
the innunerable claims, which can
not be effected by general legisla-
ton.
The patriotism of the country, we
think, can he relied upon to deal
Justly, even literally, with Its de-
fonders who suffered for their coun-
try; but II certainly looks as though
n Wholesale invasion of the treasury
IL not to be permitted by congress.
Naturally ameasurel like this would
do great deal of good. 1t would
reach meritorlous c;lses thnt have
long been overlooked or neglected.
On the other hand, IL would make
of thousands who have
prospcred since the war, and who
are not in need of such pensions.
The cost would be enormous, va
riously estimated ut from $50, ,0OO, 900
to $50, ,00O, 900, and the country would
not stand IL without Il protest. There
nrc other means Of reaching nierlto-
rious cases, and congress has never
been deaf to cries of distress or calls
of duty In such cases.

PuAP AND PAPER.

While Representative Randall, OF
Stevens county, was IN the city u
few days ago, he was consulted with
rcferenoe to the opportunity Of es.
tablishing ~ papcr mill at Kettle
Falls, and lie expressed the opinion
that all the requisite materials cx-
list In that vicinity, while the falls
afford cheap water power for tho
operation of machinery that can
not be eXcelled, save perhaps in the
city Of Spokane Falls. The same
conditions exist at Post Falls, where
there Is an abundance of the very
best wood for the manufacture Of
pulp.
Numerous persons interested In on
,ensIve paper mills have visited this
city, with the purpose of establish
ing manuinctoryaf that kind. All
testify that the raw material Is here
In cNhaustlcss quantity, that the
power l. the cheapest In the world,
that the field FOR the sale Of the
product Is Inviting, that labor Is
cheap compared with the high
prices naid for this necessary article.
But for some reason the enterprise
has not assumed tangible form.
Several hundred carloads of white
paper are used In Spokane Falls
every year, to say nothing of the
Wrapping paper aud paper bags, felt
