How to Restore our Foreign Carrying
Trade.

Commerce has it's STRATEGY" no less
than war. In war, strategy depends on
lines of operation and communication.
At this time we possess neither for either
commerce or war. Our great rival con-
trolls both, in every sense of the word.
y This pitiable condition on the
ocean is emphasized by the contrast of
our unrivaled power, resource and enter
prise within our own borders. 1t seems
indeed the strangest anomaly Of modern
civilization that the most enlightened
most ambitious, most energetic, most
productive, and internally most powerful
nation on the globe should be externally
among the weakest, most helpless and
least respected.
The sole remedy for this situation is
ships with seamen to handle them,
whether for peace or for war; whether
to carry our enormous exports and bring
our immense imports and receive therefor
the tremendous tolls which now flow into
foreign Golfers, or to vindicate the majesty
and power of our flag abroad in the
world to degree beftting our status in
| the community of natious.
There is no lack of raw material, no lack
of skill to fashion it into the instruments

into the finished forms of stately ships
we have the money to promote the most
colossal Of enterprises by sea. All we
need is assurance of steady nationa
policy of liberal and enlightened encour
agement, based on a patriotic common
consent. and elevated above the turmoilf
of politics or the squabbles of parties
One decade Of such policy would make
us second orly to Great Britain on the
high seas, either for commerce or for de-
fence; and two decades of it would
bring us fairly into the twelfth century
as the master maritime power of TIE
globe.-Charles b. Cramp in the Novem

THIRTY LIVES LOST.

A Ships Crew Drops, One by One. from
the Rigging to the Sea.
ELoNDoN, Dec. 15.-The list Of disasters
to shipping caused by the recent severe
storms which have swept over the Brit
ish isles continues to receive additions
almost hourly. To give complete list
of these maritime casualties would be
an expensive and practically useless
task, as no American craft seems to
have suffered. The only exception so far
as known to this rule is in the case of
the British schooner Enterkin, Captain
Sinclair, which left Portland, Or, April
IS. After discharging her cargo and
reloading with iron, the Enterkin sailed
a few days ago for Brisbane, Queens
land, Australia. During the gale of
Saturday night the boat was driven
ashore on the Gallopre sands, and will
most likely become total loss.
The Enterkin was sighted on Sunday
morning by the fishing smack 'Bri ton
Pride, belonging to Ramagate. The
Briton's Pride, in face of terrible gale
blowing and though she was frequently
swept from stem to stern, plunging re-
peatedly through heavy seas which
threatened to engulf her, for hours
made series of most gallant efforts to
reach the doomed boat in the hope OF
being able to save some of her crew. A
few of the latter, the skipper of the
Briton's Pride afterwards reported,
could at first be seen clinging to the
damaged masts and yards of the i'll
fated vessel, but one by one they seemed
to grow weak and numb and were swept
from their places of refuge in the rig.

raging seas sweeping to leeward of the

the rigging, and by hard work and skill.

RARE OPPORTUNITIES.
What the South Has to Offer the
HOmeseeker
Rich Lands at Low Figures-Early
Crops at Fancy Prices.

A certain small town in Louisiana,
and another in Mississippi, on the
line of the Illinois Central Z. Il. but
few years ago had absolutely no
commercial Importance, and from
them not dollars worth of produce
was sold to distant market. This
season, however, it has required from
one of them, an entire fruit refrigera
tor car every day for six weeks to
transport it's early Crops to the North
ern markets, while from ten to TWEEN
ty car loads per day of vegetables
were shipped during the season from
the other. This is but single illus
tration, and by no means the most
forcible one that could be presented;
of the rapid development Of certain
sections of the South, in profitable
localities in that direction, particul
arly in Tennessee, Mississippi and
Louisiana, on or near the line of the
Illinois Central Railroad, that, al
though, as yet undeveloped, are cap
able of easy cultivation, and will grow,
the finest kind of fruit and vegetables.
Lands well adapted to growing early
strawberries and grapes, of quality to
bring fancy prices in the market, can
be obtained there very cheap-in some
instances as low as 81 per acre. The
availability of the Illinois Central fast
fruit and vegetable trains for sending
the crops to profitable markets adds
but final weight to the security of it's
being profitable enterprise to engage
in the Development of these lands.

raphy of the country, character of the

AS to mining, rich propects have
been discovered in the Ceur d.
Alene mountains South of us
and in the Cabinet mountains to
the Northeast. Across the lake,
in the first named range, is the
well known Weber mine, which
has been developed to an extent
that demonstrates it to be a mine
of great wealth. Other discover
les have been made, but they are
not so well developed as the Weber.
There is every reason to believe
that there win be developed in
that locality fully as good mines
as are to be found in the Ceur d.
Alenes further South. Of the rich
mining locations in the Cabinet
range, we shall have a detailed ac-
count in succeeding issue.
The transportation facilities are
all that could be asked. We will
have two main transcontinental
lines when The Great Northern is
comprehensive Northern Pacific
and the Great Northern. The
Northern Pacific also has a line
surveyed from here to Benner's
Ferry which it is certain to build.
The following fguresy which
we obtained through the courtesy
Of Agent R. A. Miniely, will suffice
to give some idea Of the amount of
bushes transacted at this point:
The total amount of business trans
acted at the depot since April
amounts to about $4,000. The
total receipts for the month of June
amount to $15,178, showing the
business to be on the increase. 800
car loads of freight have been re-
ceived, exclusive Of the amount re-
ceived in less than car load lots.
The number of car loads of ties,
telegraph poles, timbers ETC., ship
ped out, is about $50 for the period
named.
1t is not our purpose to give a
detailed write-up Of the different
firms engaged in business here
The advertisements Of the leading
and most progressive will always
be found in our columns, so that
each busSaess man is allowed to
speak for himself.

AND THE BAND PLAYED.

Spokane's editors have Been
greatly troubled Of late over the
moral status Of that city. We sub
NIT that when Spokane gets too
tough for the average Spokane ed
itor; it Is in a bad way indeed, and
deserves their best endeavors. But
this will not excuse them for their
uncalled for filings at Kootenai.
They have pictured this place a den
of thieves and prostitutes-all to
to prove that the late legislation
against their chad ones" had been
a success, claiming thRt their pro-
scribed elements had been driven
out and they had taken refuge in
Kootenai.
This way Of dishing it UP would
be too funny, were it not for its eff
feet on this town. The truth is
that Spokane after a great deal of
increasing and resolving, finally
legislated to the effect that it should
be alright to do certain bad things
in Spokanes cellers or garrets, but
not on Spokane's first floors. And
this is the law that purified the
city, SO say the wise scribes Of
Spokane.
We can tell the Big Corpse what
rid it of part of its sporting ele-
ment. 1t requires but one word
Poverty. And it requires but one
word to explain why some of them
came to Kootenai-Prosperity.
There is an element in our western
population that follows prosperity,
hence it is but natural to find
many of that element in a new,
foufishing, western town like
Kootenai.
But it must not be understood
by this that Kootenai is a tough
town-in the sense that the laws
are not obeyed, or that man is
not as secure here in his person or
his property as in tn city of Spo-
kane. Kootenai is young and
little giddey is all, and her faults
such as they are win be overlooked
by the judicious business man
while he is trying to keep track of
the wonderful growth Of the town.

The ~ Herald.
SATURDAY, JULY II, 1891.

THE KooTENAI HERALD is To-
cal newspaper, devoted to the in
terests of Kootenai in particular,
and to the surrounding towns and
country in general.
1t is necessary to say but little
more to the public in the nature of
on Introductory. There are few
facts, however, that we might give
a special mentioning.
1t is not within the sphere of a
local weekly newspaper to give the
Geographic news Of the world, as
some suppose. The HERALD Will
be content if it is able to publish a
Eolerably complete summary of
local events.
In politics the paper will be in
Gependent-but this does not mean
Neutral. We have been publishing
a paper Of Independent principles
in another part of the state during
The past two years, and found it to
'be a very satisfactory policy to
pursue and shall adopt it here.
Much of the success of the HERALD
will depend on the citizens Of this
town, 1t is greatly to their inter-
est to have a paper published here
and while they are at it to have a
good one. The merits of the paper
will depend much upon the patron
age and encouragement we receive
here in cur home town. Many
places give liberal bonus TO have
q paper established. We have ask
I'd nothing of this kind, but we do
ask liberal advertising patronage
ef the business men of Kootenai,
and If they do this we will under
take to give them a paper worthy
She town.
We have no promises to make;
Sxcept that every one and every
locality in Kootenai County shall
always have fair showing in these
columns, and the HERALD will al
ways use every endeavor to adver-
tise Kcotenai and neighboring
Rowns that it may aid in their de-
Felopment and prosperity, and
sy so doing, merit the patronage
ST their citizens.
