Lewiston teller. [volume] (Lewiston, North Idaho) 1878-1900, 1891-04-09

With this issue the TELLER begins
its second year in it's present enlarged
form. Every effort has been made to
secure and publish any matter descrip-
tive and important that would in any
degree advance the Interests of the Sec
zion it represent. A glance over its
files for the past year will show many
columns Of descriptive matter favorable
to the city and surrounding country.
Hundreds Of copies have been sent
abroad to parties making inquiry con-
corning this country, and, from letters
received, the seed sown has not all
fallen by the wayside. Lewiston, from
its advantageous position, is destined
to become city of note and impor-
sance. The TELLER firmly believes this
and will seek to impress others with
the truth Of the proposition.

Patronize Home Enterprise.

The life Of a community is in its local
industries and its local trade. These
are elements which give employment
to mechanics and laborers and business
to the retailer. In other words, popu-
lation is colleced and held together by
the employment and the business which
the town affords. To make sure of an
active and growing town, full of life
and energy, there must be a large em-
ployment in all of the industries and
exchanges upon which civilization de-
ponds. If the citizens of Lewiston
wish to build up a prominent business
center here they must encourage home
industries and home retailers. Every
industry, trade or factory that can be
added to the business interests of our
city should be invited and encouraged.
Every new industry employs labor and
capital. 1t adds citizens who become
consumers of the product of some other
industry of the city. Patronize the
home retailer; his profits may be lit
tie larger than those of the wholesale
dealer abroad, but the money you pay
him Is put out again in the course of
trade into the circulating capital of the
city. He increases and enlarges his
business and can sell at Il smaller mar
gin, or he improves his property, thus
adding to the wealth and attractive
ness of the city. While on the other
hand the money sent abroad goes to
build up the trade and industries of
some other city. Trade relations must
be reciprocal to build up prosperous
trade center. Hundreds of dollars are
sent abroad each year by citizens of
Lewiston to wholesale dealers in large
cities. The local dealer is deprived of
his profits of trade, and his business
narrows instead of enlarging. He is
forced to raise the prices on staple arti-
cles in order to live, and finally, in
many instances, closes out and moves
to some new point. To patronize home
enterprise VIII build up Lewiston's
trade and alone will give it the promi-
hence which its location and advanta-
ges entitle it.

The neat descriptive pamphlet, is
sued by A. F. Parker and distributed
under the auspices of the Fairview
Farmers Club, contains complete re-
view of the resources and advantages
of Idaho county. After waiting in
vain for some combined effort between
Lewiston and Camas Prairie, whereby
the whole section could be advertised,
the patience of our neighbors became
exhausted, and by energy and enter
prise, truly commendable, they made
the attempt single handed and have
succeeded admirably. Ten thousand
copies of fine descriptive matter are
now being distributed, and the distri-
button will benefit Lewiston in a great
degree. To it we are indebted for the
matter of Camas Prairie given in this
issue. The action and energy of the
citizens of Camas Prairie in this matter
sets an example for the citizens here.
The proper distribution of printers ink
just now will result in lasting benefit
to Lewiston and Nez Perez county.

ton, opening the reservation to settle
meDt, will follow shortly after the al
lotment is completed. This is the last
of the great Indian reserves in the
northwest yet to he opened. 1t is ex.
tensive in area, and, in quality and
nature CT the soil, fully equal to the
rich sections described elsewhere in
this issue. Here fully 100000 acres
will be thrown open within the year to
actual settlers under the homestead
law. Thousands of homeseekers will
avail themselves of this last chance for
cheap government lands, which,
though rich and productive, have been
held so long under lock and key.
THE COMING CROP.
The deposit of moisture during the
winter insures big crops of cereals and
grasses for the coming season. Camas
Prairie, Waha, Craig mountain and
Potlatch have all received heavy
snow fall which left the soil in excel
lent condition. Here, in the lower al
titudes, the rain fall has been heavier
than for any season for several years.
The farmers all agree that the soil is in
prime condition for big crop. The
winter has been very mild and the
spring free from late frosts; conse-
quently the fruit crop will be an i'm
mense one. The tenderer fruits, such
as peaches, almonds, nectarines and
apricots all show evident promise of an
excellent yield. Many new orchards
and vineyards are being planted this
and the fruit industry will be
largely extended during the season.
Land for fruit farms is in demand and
great price.

One of the best evidences of the
healthy growth and awakened enter
prise of this city is found being display
ed by the leading citizens. Organiza-
tons of various kinds have been made,
having in view the growth and de-
velopment of the city. The citizens
are fast learning that all interests of
the cummunity are mutual; that the
benefits are reciprocal; that man is a
poor citizen who will not contribute to
public enterprise because he fears his
neighbor will gain few dollars more
than himself Happily, however, for
Lewiston, public opinion has relegated
such to the background. A better pub
lie spirit is prevailing, and the new en-
terprises springing up show already
good fruit from the union of forces and
interests. The Chamber of Commerce,
Just completing its organization, is
only one of several public moves that
will result in great benefit to all the
country. Their first act now nearly
perfected, will be to prepare pamph-
let of information concerning the re-
sources, development and prospects of
Lewiston and vicinity. The same Or
ganization will also constitute itself
q board of correspondence to inform
encourage and invite immigration,
either of capital, labor or enterprise, to
this point. There is me field open
for them in this regard. The best in
terests Of the community require that
every possible line of business, that
can be engaged In with profit here,
should be represented among our in
dustries. Fit be made apparent that
any given industry will thrive at this |
point, capital plenty can be easily
found TO establish it here. This idea
the Chamber of Commerce has in view:
to introduce and keep before the pub
lie information and evidence that will
tend to prove that there is here "A
wide field for investments in various
lines. There is plenty If work for the
new organization and the time is ripe
for it. Every public spirited citizen
should fall In and forward the move

The Clearwater Country.


issue to picture and set forth the adj.
vantages, prospects and general condi.
ton of the above-named section. 1t is
a section of Idaho distinctly defined.
Geographically, the Clearwater Coun.
try is comprised of the County of Nez
Perez and the greater portion of Idaho;
geographically, it is bounded by the
Geep canyons Of the Snake and Clear
water rivers, on the west and north,
and by the rugged, broken crests of
the Salmon river and Bitter Root
mountains, on the south and east. 1t
is new country, imperial in extent,
and practically undeveloped. 1t
forms broad belt, sweeping the state
from east to west, and extending south
into the very heart of the new COM
monwealth. It's wide range of alti-
tude, extending from the low river val
leys, in the deep canyons, to the upper
flats, plateaus and on to the crests of
the mountain ranges, gives it diver
sity of climate and products scarcely
equaled, never eXcelled, by any Sec
ton of country in the world. In the
river valleys both soil and climate are
adapted to produce the finest fruit
found outside of California and rival
ling even that justly celebrated region.
On the uplands cereals are grown ex-
tensively and yield abundant crops.
This region cuts the great timber belt
of the state, taking the choicest por-
ton. The Clearwater, with its num-
erons branches, penetrates to the ex-
IRENE limits of the timber belt and fur
nishes an abundant water supply to
float the product to market.
The mines of Elk City, Pierce City
and Warrens are within this territory.
There, rich lodges and large bodies of
ore lie undeveloped for lack of proper
means Of communication, a detriment,
however, that will not always exist.
Railroads and roadways will soon cut
across this territory, and eager capital
lists will seize and develop the resources
at hand. Today not single line of
railroad penetrates the Clearwater
Country, but it is safe to assert that
within a year not fewer than three
lines will lie in active oper-
alton, gathering in the products and
fastening the development.
Lewiston lies at most advantageous
position in regard to this rich section.
The country is hemmed in by river
canyons and mountain ranges. Lew
ston, at the juncture of the two rivers,
IS the gateway to the country back of
L. Located at the headwaters of navi-
cation, it will ever be the main ship
ping and distributing point for all the
products and merchandise transported.
When railroad lines shall be laid to de- |
'elop the resources of the section, they
must of necessity radiate from this ,
natural center to penetrate the inland
country and make egress to the sea-
BOARD. These are facts, not fancies or
The Clearwater COun-
ry is the richest undeveloped region

ages to capital and investment than
