From D. c. AhderSonl
Regarding another circular issued ~ Mr.
Stull.
! certify that several days previous to the
election held on the 2sti Of May, 1891, Mr.. A. NJ.
Stuli came to my shop twice TO speak TO me Win
reference to the e'ection. On the third visit
had an interview with him, in which stated
to Mr.. StJln that l had heard that Mr. j. =
a good man. and if so, did not wish to support
him. as had formerly publicly stated. Where
uD0n MIR. Stull handed a printed circular
VI it'll request that should keep it a secret tex
cept to my race,} which was as l considered
very damaging to Mr.. Fudge as man and a
candidate, and calculated to injure him greatly
with the colored voters.

Witnesses-C. L. W0oDsoN, Il. A. MCGUINNITY.
Sworn to before W C. Hamilton, N P.
Anderson made substantially the same
statement embodied in the above sew
eral weeks before the election. [ would
further say that all of the above are
voluntary statements, unsolicited by
ne.
I desire to say that | have been I'M
willingly forced to appear in print; but
there was nothing LETT for me to do after
the appearance of the above mentioned
card My character has been assailed,
and selfprotection compels me to vindi-
cate myself against these charges.
regret all the more the necessity for
this action because all Of the parties CON
nected with the controversy are my per-
sonal friends.
AS to the card issued by me ] have no
apologies to make. 1t is a well estab
lished rule in elections that where one
candidate issues card, it calls for a res
ply; and | submit TO every right think
ing, fair minded man to decide whether

issued the first circular before the elec>
ton, and was first to rush into print af-
ter the contest had been decided. |
leave it with the public to decide with
whom the infamy, if any exists, lies.
As to the intimaton that l did not
allow my opponent an opportunity to
reply to my card, | would say that | had
not seen his circular until the evening
before the election, as stated by Mr..
Persinger Respectfully,

This wear Is LeWistOn's opportunity

This year Is Lewiston's opportunity.
Everything is In her favor. A dozen
enterprises Of moment and advantage
are on hand to aid in advancing the
Q TVS interest. Advertise the town.
There is o glorious grain crop in sight.
This year comes the railroad, and any
number Of new industries are available
Improperly encouraged-a planning mill,
. wooden mill, sash and door factory,
. railroad and 100000 light and
water plant. This certainly makes a
good solid base of operations to adver-
tise upon. The ball once rolling will
gather momentum. Other capital and
enterprise will be attracted when any
sign of active healthy growth is shown
to exist. The board of trade have al
ready sprung the question and have a
committee investigating all proper
methods Of advancing our material in.
terests. Let it be hoped that for once
conservatism will be put down and
more active, energetic methods prevail.
It Is high time that mossbackism
should be shelved and an active cam
paign instituted In the name Of prog
ress and prosperity.

No kindlier skis bend above any
section Of our country. Idaho's eli
mate is unsurpassed. The soil of our
valleys and understanding plains as
fertile as the Valley of the Nile if only
quickened by the Baptism of Water.
In the valleys Of the Snake and of the
Boise and the Fayette, there are more
than six millions of these rich acres
convenient to irrigation. But it is a
s:upendous scheme-and must have
government help. Shall we hesitate
to ask aid for such q work, from gov
eminent which expends scores of mil
lions every year in river and harbor
Improvements? Let US have votes in
congress, and we can say to these gentle
men of other states, no more appropri.
ations out of the common treasury for
your rivers and harbors unless these
great plains Of the northwest shall be
helped in their needed irrigation. The
one Is as much national want as the
other. Is the man here who can tell
me the number of people we would
have in Idaho If we could receive this
needed help in irrigation? or compute
the value Of the fruit and the grain and
the countless cattle we might raise
with all this land brought under the
blessed power Of water?-Colonel John
II. French in Boise Statesman.

water, enough i'm most instances to
supply irrigation were 1t necessary.
Tt, cost of sinking the wells is not
great when compared with the vast
benefits that will he derived from it.
Thousands of acres of land lying inn
mediately south of the city would be
available for fruit lands could some less
expensive method of irrigation be de-
vised than pumping a supply from the
adjacent rivers. Land now held at a
valuation of about $40 per acre would
Immediately spring to 500 and adj
vance to $500 and $1,000 as it became
cultivated in fruit. AS far as can be
determined by the eye, from the sur
face the configuration Of the country is
most favorable for the project. A
fountain head for large water supply
ought easily to be found in the noun
tain ranges that lie about us on every
side. This country lies in the same
basin as the land in the Palouse.
There is no divide of land to separate
the one country from the other, and
chances are very favorable that
under like conditions an immense sup
ply of water could be obtained in this
vicinity by the sinking of artesian
wells. The experiment is worth a
trial at least. The citizens of Lewiston
by small contributions could furnish
the capital to sink one well by way OF
experiment. Any of dozen pros.
porous farmers would agree to have the
we'll sunk on his land and would vii.
lingly pay all expenses if successful in
finding flow of water. Dozens OF
Others would be sunk Immediately and
the valuation and attractiveness of The
country be increased beyond measure

After April l, the Mckinley bill will
have chance to redeem in part proper
standing in public opinion. On April
the tariff act wipes out the sugar tax
Of sos 100000 and puts from IS to IS
into the purse of the head Of every
family. This means from twenty to
twenty-five pounds Of fine sugar for a
dollar instead of fourteen or fifteen.
The poor farmer, who has been heaping
abuse upon this tariff act now for sew
eral months, will Ike able to buy his
sugar ut rate from to p cents a
pound cheaper. All duties on raw
sugar were abolished by the Mckinley
law, and provision was made that
sugar might be imported, refined and
stored in bond until April without
the payment of duties, aud at that date
it will be released for sale ut the lower
rates. This insures an instant reduc-
ton Of price the m ,ment the law goes
into effect.

Artesian Water.

The question Of water supply is one
of vital interest to Lewiston as well al
to the country south Of the city where
many ranches suffer every summer for
sufficient supply, even for domestic
purposes. ANY plan that would bring
relief ought to be acted upon, and yet
there seems. to be q most excellent one
that the citizens are slow to give an
effort to. The plan Of sinking wells
for artesian water has not been acted
upon In this section of the country.
Yet to the north of us, in the Palouse
country, the plan has been tried with
great success. Nearly every well sunk
has yielded magnificent flow Of

The coming year has certainly great
things In store for the citizens of Lew
iston and Nez Perez county. The
crop prospect is most favorable. The
rainfall of the winter has left the
ground in better condition than 1t has
been now for three seasons. The rail-
road, competing with the line Of boats
on the river, will lower freight rates,
and the producer will realize more on
his crop. This in return will relieve
everybody. Old scores can be settled
and mortgages raised. Bank accounts
will loom up and u season Of prosperity
follow.
