In commenting on the tariff debate
in the house on Wednesday, The Chi
cago Tribune's Washington CORE
spondent says that the Republicans
noted with satisfaction that Mr.. Mills
was "sorely distressed by the pro
posed free-listing of sugar. Somehow
when they come to talk about cheap
food the Democrats in congress al
ways exclude sugar. They denounce
trusts, but the sugar trust finds In
them it's warmest defenders. 1t was
evident from the tone of Mr.. Mills re-
marks that he was just as much OPP
posed to free sugar to-day as he was
two years ago, when the Mills bill was
changed to suit the Havemeyers and
other Democratic members of the
sugar trust"

THE LEWISTON RAILROAD.
Lewiston Teller.l

Lewiston Teller.l
The best realization of the railroad is
that some 1000 of Northern Pacific
money is now circulating through our
city. Those who sold to the railroad
have bought elsewhere in the city.
Debts have been paid, mortgages lifted,
and the money otherwise distributed
among the people. The general situa-
ton in regard to the competing lines
remains unchanged. The Northern
Pacific force is steadily bnilding the
grade through Tammany. The line will
take off at Pullman. The facts of last
week were further substantiated by the
reports ofthis. Pullman being so SUCCESS
ful in having the road officials determine
on their line, now are working for di-
vision shops to be located at that point.
The Union Pacific surveyors are busy
cross sectioning the route of the Lewis
ton * Southeastern. The report of last
week that the U. p. were buying wheat
in the Potlatch. contracting to build a
line parallel with the Northern through
that section down to Lewiston, thence
to connect with the road now being built
up the Grand Ronde, has been confirm
ed from various good sources. With
such line established and the proposed
line up Clearwater to connect with the
Utah & Northern built, the advantage
gained to Lewiston would be very great.
The connected lines of the U. p. would
place us on direct overland route and
that the shortest and best over the
continent. The Union contemplates the
building of five converging lines from
Lewiston within the next two years.
They can and will with proper encourage
ment make this a central and important
point for three various lines. These
proposed improvements are not mere
assertions but are backed by the fact
that they are large buyers of real estate
in and near our city,at prices that would
be wild speculation unless some such
improvements were contemplated.

Idaho County is situated in the north
ern part of the new state of Idaho. 1t
lies between the parallels of 400 30> and
46o 10> north latitude, and the meridi-
ans of 115o and 1l70 west longitude.
It's extreme length and breadth is about
200 miles each way. Its surface is
mountainous, and its area is about 10000
e1uare miles. These mountains for the
most part are covered with timber, such
as red and white fir, tamarack, pine and
cedar, all of which are valuable.
Also, the mountains and gulches are
rich in minerals. Gold, silver and cop
Per have already been discovered in
many parts. The old and noted camps
of Warrens, Elk City and Florence are
in Idaho County, while many new ones
are being discovered. and gold in pay
ing quantities is extracted, while thou
sands of unprospected territory yet re-
mains to the hungry seeker of the pre-
cious stuff.
This county is traversed from cast TO
west by the Salmon River, and is drain
ed by it and its tributaries. Also, the
Clearwater River runs through the
northern portion. These streams abound
with fishes, such as salmon, salmon
trout and mountain trout. Also, the
great Payette lake is situated in the
south western portion of the county,
and is noted for its never failing supply
of red fish.
In the north western portion of Idaho
county is the famous Camas Prairie 1t is
bounded on the north by the Nez Perez
Indian reservation, on the east by the
Bitter Root mountains, on the south
and west by the Salmon River mount
aims and Salmon River. The face of
this Prairie is gently undulating, with
but very few places breaking abrupt
enough to prevent machinery of any
Kind from being used. Its area is about
1000 square miles. and but a very small
proportion is stony or waste land.
Aside from the Salmon and Clearwater
Rivers, there are eve small streams ira
voAoihk tho L fdiTlo III dS many Uluefent
directions, and these, together with nu-
merous springs of the finest water in
The world gives us an abundant supply
OF water. In the unsupplied parts water
can be had in abundance by digging
from five to fifty feet. The soil is rich

inches to two feet, and will produce any
OF the cereals, except corn. in great a.
bundance. Corn, however, has not
been tested only on small scale. The
principal products are wheat, oats, bar
ley and timothy. Fruit and vegetables
grow in rich abundance and of the va
rious kinds, wherever tried, except
peaches, grapes and tomatoes, and these
grow fine, and of the finest quality and
flavor on Salmon and Clearwater Rivers.

Total,


The mineral products are estimated 10
beS500, 900 yearly notwithstanding some
OF these mines have been worked since
1851. We might state truthfully that
owing to the difficulty of access and
their isolated state, they are yet in their
infancy. Warrens has three mills Of
five stamps each, with fifty hands en-
ployed, and produces $4,000 yearly.
Elk City has one mill of one stamp and
One ten stamp mill in course of con-
struction, and two arrastrars, and en-
ploys l5O men, and these, together with
the several different placer camps pre-.
duce the grand total as above stated.
Thus the writer has been elaborate in
verification of these statements, that
none who chance to read them NAV be
deceived.
The climate is mild and healthful,and
not subject to sudden and varied
changes. The mean temperature of the
year is about 500, while in winter the
thermometer rarely ever reaches zero.
and the snow fall is not very great. In
summer the nights are cool and plea
SAINT, and sleep is a luxury instead of a
burden. The average rainfall is about
twenty-five inches, and is sufficient for
all crops without the aid of irrigation.
Our transportation facilities are, as vet.
inadequate. Our nearest market, except
home consumption, is Lewiston, sixty
miles away, to which point boats make
two trips per week. There is also a
railroad under process Of construction to
that point. and will be com pleted at an
early day. The mining camps of Idaho
county are supplied by pack trains from
Camas Prairie. The State has also do
mated $4,000 to he used in building a
