IDAHO LETTER.
MOSCOW, IDAHO, May 10, !

MOSCOW, IDAHO, May 18, 1891.
Although we have said nothing for some time
the PRESS has been very welcome visitor every
week. and truly are we glad to know of so many
advantages Ravenna has gained by way OF
manufactures. Long may she continue to
prosper.
Here in Moscow on every hand can be heard
the sound of hammer and saw; all the local
lumber yards are exhausted of their supply of
dry lumber. but from Seattle. Portland. and
Tacoma come carloads every day.
The foundation is already laid for very large
foundry, and an oil mill will be erected during
the summer. The city has been using the incan-
descent electric lights, but have ordered ten
large arc lights on Main street.
The largest store probably in the Palouse
country will be built by the Mcconnell Compa-

A fire worth seeing happened short time ago
when the large grain elevator of the Pacific El-
evator Company burned to the ground. There
was but 35 600 bushels OF wheat in it at the time
of the fire; the capacity of the elevator was
zoo. 600 bushels.

Lately several new comers from Ohio have
united their interests with this growing little
town. though the immigration lately seems to
be mostly from Missouri. This country is wide
and invites all honest, frugal and Industrious
settlers. OF such we have many and need
many more. Here are found many advantages
over the Eastern States. but there is not every
advantage here one could wish. while there has
never been known a failure of crops here. 1
can see no reason why they can't fail here just
as we'll as in Ohio. Wheat has brought IS cts,
and now they offer 10 cts, which. considering
the number of bushels they raise here per acre,
is much higher than in the East. More anon.

"Butter, BUTTER" is all the cry.
Everybody wants butter and there
is none in the market. 1t appears to
he great oversight in the farmers
tnat they do net keep the market
well supplied with good, sweet butter
at this season of the year, at twenty
five cents per pound. There is yet
plenty of grass and winter clover,
and the corntields are fresh
with the best butter.pr0ducing
food, and good cows ought to
average near a pound of delicious
ly Favored butter per day, and yet
butter is scarce, and that which
comes to the market is either poorly
prepared or injured with coarse,
granny salt. And oleomargarine
comes in to take its place as prefer
able. This does not argue well for
the prosperity or good management
on the part of farmers. The dairy
product is the most profitable for the
investment of all the products of the
farm, and only needs a sure and in
telligent management. Can't our
farmers organize for dairyiug and do
better than this?.

Silver in New York,

The free coinage question cut no
figure in the New York election, and
the New York Democrats made their
fight on what was called "a sound
money platform. - Appeai-Ara,

The New York platform declared
emphatically for the full and COM
pletc reconciliation of silvc. on an
equal basis and the same coinage
privilege rs gold. 1t was indeed a
sound money platform and all that
the free coinage advocates demand
ed, and they are willing to accept
the same for the national platform.
Gov, Hill did as the Dallas Times
Herald says, took the lead Tor Flow
err in the campaign and pushed this
issue to the front in every speech he
made, carrying the State for Democ-
racy by 1860 votes. On the other
hand, the "Wise COuuselOrs' sent MIR.
Mills to Ohio to take the silver ques
ton out of the campaign and he
did, taking Campbell out with it.
Over 10000 silver advocates who
would have supported Campbell on
his platform went Off after the Third
party. This is the difference, and
moreover it is what beat Mills for

Christmas has come and gone, but
it has left pleasant memories TO many

The day was a quiet one for Christ
mas, and the trade good for our mer.
chants. The officers and teachers OF
the Sunday-school gave a Christmas
tree to the school and friends gener-
ally, which was very much enjoyed
by all who attended so far as heard
from. Pro-. Presson's music class
rendered some beautiful and appro-
pirate songs. Bro. Stamper led in
prayer, and your scribe made a few
remarks GU the object of the occasion,
after which the curtain was drawn,
revealing a beautifully decorated
tree, loaded with presents, many of
them valuable ones. | was glad to
note that the poor and sick were not
forgotten.
The railroads have been very kind
to me for the coming year; the Bur-
lington system of roads gave me Il
half pass over all their roads,, and the

see. 1t is quite favor to a poor
preacher in these hard times.

clusion about me that an d'gentle-
man up in Kentucky did about Rev.
