This is not a political year. Next
year there will be politics. We shall
have the republican party and the
democratic party next year, the repub-
lican policy and the democratic policy
and there will be debating and voting
on political and party issues. Just now
Lewiston is concerned with municipal
government, not with the tariff on
wool or tin plate, nor with the histor-
ical controversy between the republican
and democratic parties. We want to see
our new council, rs soon as they have
been seated, stir the animals up and
order new sidewalks put down in the
many places where now are patches
upon patches; we want to see the streets
cleared Of buildings now standing in
the road; we want to see loose wagons
and other vehicles that obstruct pas.
sage along some of our side streets re.
moved; and last and most important
Of all, bond the city and make neces.
sary improvements, and show to the
outside world that there is yet some
sign of life in the oldest town in Idaho
and the northwest.

An earnest effort Is to be made by
the Government authorities to enforce
to the letter the immigration laws
which, though mild, are sufficient to
put stop to the worst abuses com
planned of. The steamship companies
are chiefly at fault, and resolute meas.
ures are to he taken to hold them to
the severest penalties of the law when.
ever they bring in paupers, lunatics,
or criminals. Except Chinese, immi'
grants of this character seldom find
their way to the West, for which quar-
ter, however, the great body of the
better class Immediately depart after
landing at the seaport.
Lewiston teller. [volume] (Lewiston, North Idaho) 1878-1900, 1891-06-18

Railroad managers and others who
deal practically with the immigration
question are preparing to "handle" a
greater number of new corners from
the old world than ever, and are in
the full belief that by far the larger
part will seek homes in the West, more
especially the States of the Northwest.
No small part of the surplus capita! in
the Eastern States is looking out for
employment In that quarter also. Per-
sons having "good thing" with which
to entice capital should understand
that the present IL the opportune mo-
ment. More than ever capital is will
ing to take chance and be content
with a good thing II 1t only be sure.
The hint is good one to put in prac-
tice.

A Big Elevator Burned.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Oct. f. The elevator of
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company sys-
tenn at Locust Point, burned this morning
with all the machinery and 135, 900 bushels of
wheat The loss is covered by insurance.
The elevator cost to construct and to put in
the machinery, $500,000. 1t was erected in
1871 and is said to have been the first eleva-
tor located on the Atlantic coast. Its capac-
ity was 100000 bushels. The elevator, it is
understood will not be rebuilt.

The Apple situation.

We have received the following latest re-
port Of the apple situation on both sides Of
the Atlantic, from Mr.. Hastings Webbing,
representing In Montreal aud Portland the
welLknown and old-establlshed firm Of Sim
ons, Shuttleworth Il Co., receivers of Cana
dian and American apples in Gfeat Britain.
This report will be found of great interest to
growers, dealers and shippers:
Our earlier report of large prospective
European apple crop-which so materially
conhlcted with the general information pub
llshed ABOUT the same time-is now being
fully confirmed by our latest reports. Not
wltnstanding storms and very wet weather,
the English crop will be fully as large as in
dicated. Denmark will have very full
crop, although the fruit will not be so large
as IN former years on account of heavy
yield. Belgium, Germany. and other apple
producing countries will have fully as many
as we reported earlier. The crop In America
Is without doubt good one, taking the
whole country through. In some districts
the yield Is not heavy. but other sections will
more than compensate by the large crop that
will very soon be harvested from these fav-
ored spots. The sources Of supply and the
power OF production are rapidly increasing,
so that 1t will be we'll for buyers who 0per-
ate for export, not to be solely influenced by
local conditions, as the supply and demand
must regulate the prices where the fruit is
sold. The superior quality of the Canadion
fruit this year will attract the attention of
the trade, and we anticipate large con-
sumption. At the same time, If as large pro-
portion of the total crop is exported as was
the case during the past two years, apples
must be placed on the markets In Great Brit
ain at low cost II shippers are to earn any
money.
The New York Fruit Trade Journal in its
last issue has the following regarding the ap
pie crop OF the United States:
The apple crop Of New York this season
will ba little over half crop, and the
shortage embraces mainly the red varieties
or cOlors. Baldwins are very scarce through
out, and so are Spitzenburgs and other red
sorts. In consequence the red or colored va
rieties In the west will show some improve
ment In prices, and some eastern buyers are
already In the field In the west after good red
keeping fruit. The apples in eastern New
York, or those nearest the coast, where the
influence of the salt water is felt, show no
keeping qualities at all, and all such will be
hurried off to the.market. New Jersey and
Pennsylvania have the largest crops Of ap-
pies ever produced by these states and Will
largely make up for the New York shortage.
Michigan will average considerably over half
full yield and so will Ohio and Indiana,
so that taking all into consideration, the ap-
pie crop of the Eastern and Middle States
will be nearly full one, and prices Will rule
low everywhere, influenced as they will be
by the enormous supply OF other fruits.

NEWS FROM THE NATIONS CAPITAL
Mormons on the Road to aa,,o.
Methods OF Government.
But tho Utah Commission Advises
Making Haste Slowly.
Military Honors at the Grave OF tho
Late major Dunn.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 4. The members OF
the Utah Commission have fled with Secre-
tary Noble majority and minority reports Of
the proceedings Of the commission for the
year ending September 1. 1891. The ajorl-
ty report says that, as the time approached
for holding the general territorial election
on August 1. 1891. the peoples party was
officially declared disbanded by Its terrific
rial committee. who announced that. for the
future, an alliance would be sought with one
Of the two great national parties. This de-
parture was hailed by some as the end long
looked for, while others looked upon IL as
a ruse through which leaders Of the Mormon
Church were seeking statehood. The COM
mission says 1t cares not what the motive
underlying the movement may be, Ii Its re-
suits be for the enfranchiZement Of this
people and the substitution Of a better Idea
and methods for those which have prevailed
In the State. 1t will do no harm TO Utah
and 70 the Nation to walt awhile and see
what this sudden conversion will bring
about. During the year ending August 81,
1891, convictions under the antl-P Polygamy
acts have been had as follows: Polygamy
and blgamy, three; adultery, "a; unlawful
cohabitation, ~; fornicatioD, 4; total, 100.
The commission Is glad, says the report, to
record that steps have been taken on the
road to better civilization and will aid with
Its power In forwarding the good work but
cannot recommend the withdrawal at this
time OF any portion Of the safeguards thrown
around this people by the law making power
OF the Government. The commission Is
most emphatic In expressing the opinion
that II would not at this time be safe to en-
trust to the people responsibility OF self
government.

MILES OF FLAME.
A Great Tract Of Country in Cali
fOrnia Devastated.
The Fire Leaves the Woods and De-
yours Whole Villages.
Inhabitants Out in Force Fighting
The Common Enemy.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 4.-Forest fires have
County. More than forty square miles of
country have been burned over. The flames
have spread over the Greenwood Greek coun-
try and all the country to the west of the
Green Valley, destroying many dwellings,
barns, hay, fences, and thousands of acres of
dry feed. When the fire approached the
town of Pilot Hill, all hands turned out to
try and check the progress. Back firing was
attempted but had little effect, owing to the
swiftness of the fire. Half dozen houses
on the outskirts Of the town were burned In
quick order. Flying sparks caught on the
frame buildings around the post Office, and in
few minutes the store, the post office, a sa-
loon, several halls and houses, Warmers,
Davis's.and Kirschner's residences. including
the outbuildings were all burned. Among
the heaviest losers was d. Ferguson, who lost
everything except his horses. He lived with
his aged mother two miles from town.
While away from town, with many others,
fighting the fire, he was told that his own
property was in danger. He started for his
house only to find it and new barn In flames.
His mother was lying some distance from the
house, exhausted from fright and exertion.
At Burner Hill, nothing is left of the village
but the hotel, school house, and two or three
scattering buildings on the outskirts of the
town. ALI the grass in the hills In that sec
tion has been destroyed and consequently
the loss of stock will be large. Many farm
ers and ranchers have been rendered hcme-
less and penniless by the fire.
