Lewiston teller. [volume] (Lewiston, North Idaho) 1878-1900, 1890-07-17

Messrs. Smith & Wilmarth, real es-
tate agents, will, within the next two
weeks, have five thousand four-page
folders issued, which they will devote
exclusively to Lewiston, setting forth
her past, present and future. These
folders will be distributed throughout
the east, and will doubtless attract
much attention toward Lewiston, and
be the means of bringing outside capi-
tai here.
Hon. WI. Mcconnell, Gen. Pride
and other able gentlemen present, speak
in the highest eulogy Of Miss Sadie
Poe's reading of the Declaration of In
dependence at the Moscow celebration
on the Fourth. We are glad that Miss
Poe met with such universal approval,
as an elocutionist, while in our sister
city, for she certainly is deserving, and
capable Of appearing before tee most
critical audiences.
Is there any one of the old States
that can equal Idaho, which has just
lately been born? There are States
that have as good soil perhaps, there
are States that have almost as much
mineral wealth, there are those that
are somewhat better watered, and there
are those that have better railroad
facilities; but ther. is no one State in
the United that combines all these
things in equal degree with the empire
State of the west-Idaho.
While Kendrick people take great
deal Of satisfaction in the prosperity
they enjoy, they also enjoy
the prosperity that seems to be
falling to the lot of surrounding towns,
especially that of Moscow and Lewis
ton. To both they extend the hand of
cordiality and good fellowship. En-
tirely free from the belittling, stultify-
ing spirit of enmity, they are ever pre-
pared to award full justice to their COM
petitive neighbors rs.-Kehdrick Advo-

Could one-half Of the poor eastern
farmers, who have found good homes
III Idaho, go back and relate its good
news to their old friends and neighbors,
what would the result be? 1t ia far
more easy to imagine than to describe,
just at present, what it would be. The
eastern newspapers are so persistent in
their slandering reports of the towns
in western states, that the minds of
their readers are prejudiced against
most everything said by the western
writer's.
Lewiston needs more tenement
houses. There is hardly vacant
house in the city now, and such being
the case, what will it be this fall if i'm
migration continues pouring in, as it il
at present? and it surely will. If We
expect people to come to our city We
must have Accommodations for them
And now, as the vanished cars will
soon be running into Lewiston, would
it not be paying investment for some
Of our money d men to put up mum
Der Of small cottages?
When your friends abroad-especiall,
In the east-write and ask you to tel
them something about Lewiston, tel
them that its people are crammed full
of push and energy, the most noble
whole-sotled collection of humanity Il
oe found upon the face of the earth; tel
them that Lewiston has the purest Q
water, the choicest Of fruit and tn,
most delightful climate this side o
Paradise. Tell them all this, and the,
If they never visit our city, they car
have q faint idea Of what Lewiston
really is.
OF a newspapers struggle with ad
versity, and of the scanty appreciatio,
accorded 1t, much might be written
But 1t is perhaps we'll that the worl'
should not know to what extremitie
j the newspaper man Is often compelle'
to resort; and the inquisitive will no
have their curiosity gratified in thi
issue, lest there ensue a sudden ou,
pouring of the appreciation and sym
pathy which have been withheld ia
many years, and their force overwhelr
the writer and hurry him to an un
timely grave, before the boss, who hs
gone fishing, returns.
Hon. Jas. w. Reid's grafton in Ast
tin on the Fourth was q MASTERPIECE
and marks the gentleman as the on
brilliant man of North Idaho. It hi
been our fortune to hear the "lamel
ted" Baker, Tom Fitch, the "silve
tongued orator" Of Nevada, Ex-Gove
nor Geo. L. Wood, of Oregon, an
many others of the celebrated speake
