vation IN Arkansas ? There are
many grades of poverty in every
Arkansas county; there are many
poor families live in out-of>the>way
neighborhoods-poor widows with
many children to raise, oftimes dis
tressed by sickness and other embar
easements, but we have yet to hear
Of single case of starvation in the
state. Even during the last year of
the civil war, when the occupants of
nearly every house were only wo'
men and children, and for many
months those helpless occupants
were forced to live without knowing
a day in advance what they would
subsiSt upon, but not one case of
starvation is known to the history
of those dark days. Our people,
the good people of Arkansas,
through whose veins flows the most
chivalrous blood of southern ances-
try, the unadulterated pride Of
colonial days, have too much hu-
manlty in their makeup, too. much
fraternal feeling for all of mankind;
even in the most interior, isolated
nook or corner of the backwoods,
however ignorant and uncouth the
inhabitants may be, all cases of utter
poverty and indlgence is watched
and such wants promptly relieved.
No family here in this land of
Christian patience and indulgence,
no matter how much in debt, no
matter who they may be; no matter
how cold or how hot, if In need
they are cared for by kind hands and
Christian hearts. And God is bless,
ing our people and our country by
giving us more good people, even
from the illustrious state of Kansas,

The State Road.

Boise Statesman.
Governor Wiley returned from W els.

see some of the citizens in relation to
matters connected with the state wagon
road. The first section extends from
Mt. Idaho to Florence. This was fin
ished and accepted last fall. The sec
ond section is from Florence to the SAL
mon river bridge. This is not accepted.
The third is from the Salmon river to
Warm Springs. This has been accept.
ed. The fourth from Warm Springs to
Salmon Meadows. Which is to be ex-
amined. From Warm Springs the citi-
zens have built road eighteen miles to
Warrens which is now used for travel
by freight as we'll as all other teams.
1t is the intention of the governor to
return to Weiser the first of next week
and in company with the other commits.
sioners examine the Sc cond and fourth
sections. People who have been on the
road say that it is in good condition and
well constructed. There only remains
the construction Of a bridge on Salmon
river between sections two and three to
make connections complete.
According to contract this bridge
must be completed before the first day
of December and with the force EN-.
ployed, which is quite large, the gov
ernor has no doubt but that the terms
will be complied with.

SUICIDE BY AMMONIA.

The Terrible Agony Does Not Prevent Its Use.
No poison brings death with more
maddening agony than ammonia. but
that fact does not seem to discourage
the suicide. The man Harrowitz, who
deliberately swallowed fatal dose OF
the drug in New York recently, is only
one of the many who have gone the
ammonia route to death in spite of the
excruciating pain. DIR. Blyth has recor-
ded thirty cases of ammonia poisoning
in the Small London district of which
he is health officer; Professor Mitchell
mentions twenty-five cases, and four
have occurred during the short time DIR.
Jenkins has been connected with the
coroner's Office in New York.

GRANGEvILLE. IDAHO.
FRIDAY, 4: SEPTEMBER 25, 1891.
A New Transportation Company.

An incorporation has been organised
at Portland called the "Oregon, WASH
ington & Idaho Railroad and Naviga'
ton Company" for the purpose Of
building a portage road around the
rapids east of The Dalles. and operating
steamboats, on the Columbia river be-
tween its mouth and highest navigable
waters, and also on Snake river. The
purpose of the company is to build 200
miles of narrow guage railroad as feed
ers to its line of steamboats,. One line
is projected from Arlington, on the Co
lumbia river, to Heppner. Another
branch is to tap the Grande Ronde and
Wallowa valleys, and a branch from
Lewiston to Grangeville is also declared
to be one Of the objects of the incorpo-
ration. The capital stock is 100000,
divided into $4,000 shares of $25 each.
Joseph Alexander. of Lewiston, ia one
of the incorporators.
Portland is thoroughly awake, at last,
to the necessity of water transportation,
and is no doubt deeply in earnest to
construct portage roads as quickly as
possible. With cheap river transporta-
ton, the wealth of all this Inland En-
pire will seek an outlet to tide water by
these natural arteries, and the farmers
of the northwest will receive the bene-
fit in higher prices for their products.
The old "Oregon Steam Navigation Co."
was the best paying transportation COM
pany in America and did more than any
other agency to ensure the commercial
supremacy of Portland until Willard
bought it out and built a line of rail-
road down the Columbia river to run
opposition to his own steamboats,.
We believe that river Transports
ton company operated in connection
with the proposed narrow guage system
can be made great success. There is
no reason why the cereal products of
this country should be transported by
rail over a succession of mountain
ranges, when our great river system
affords us an easy down-hill grade all
the way to tide water. 1t is high time
for Portland to be up and doing some
thing to regain her waning prestige,
for great as her growth has undeniably
been since the period of railroad con.
struction in '82, it has not kept pace
with the development of her tributary
country, simply because the products OF
that country have been DETECTED away
from Portland to enrich other more dis.
tant and less accessible ports.

ranch of J. H. Robinson, situated one

ing 240 acres of the best land in the
state, together with all the improve
ments, for the low price of $500. This

large springs with perpetual water for
500 head of stock, 100 acres in timothy,

miles and half of fencing; stable,
granary, outhouses and good root house
1t is magnificent place, unsurpassed
for productiveness, while its location,

the stage road to Mt. Idaho, make s 1t a
particularly eligible property, for resi-
dence, permanent invest ment or specu-
lation. The fruit crop every year is i'm
mense, and with a growing market
should bring in a valuable income.
