THE MOST COSTLY AND COM.
PLETE MILL IN IDAHO.
A Trip Up Snake River.
State Teachers Reading Circle.-The
Water Works.-The Second
Ball Game.-Other Items.

The Lewiston Mill, which has for
some weeks shut down for the purpose
of making extensive improvements,
is about complete again and will begin
operations some time next week. Mr..
Booth has, at the expense of several
thousands of dollars, renovated the
whole machinery of the mill from
the third story to the basement. The
mill is now complete in every particu-
lar and furnished with new machinery,
entire of the latest and most approved
designs. The lower floor has now
complete set of rolls. The -four, in its
process of grinding, is made to pass be-
tween six different sets of rolls, passing
each time, by means of elevators, to
the scalpers above. The upper floors
are replete with boilers, scalpers and
purifiers, through all of which in turn
the flour must pass. All these various
machines are connected by elevators,
where, by means of belts and inclines,
the -four is at last conducted to the
great -four chest. On the lower floor,
leading from the -four chest, is the sack
packer, most clever piece Of machin-
cry almost automatic in its working.
1t fills and packs each sack in turn,
stopping when one Is full till another
is put in place. The basement contains
a smulter and brush machine and the
whole mill is complete in detail and is
one of the best equipped milling plants
in the state. The lumber used in
making the elevators is all of Idaho
product, furnished by l.. A. Porter Of
this city, and its fine appearance, after
a finish of gum-shelac and varnish, h
noticeable and commendable. The
mill will be put in operation next week
and will be under the charge of Mr..
Thorton, miller perfectly familiar
with the workings of the roller process
and an expert in his profession. 1t IL
safe to predict that no finer -four will
be made in Idaho than at the Lewiston
Roller Mills.

Up the River.

w. A. Simpson, J. A. Mcclure and
Jim Cusick spent the latter part Of last
week exploring up Snake river for mag
nesia stone prospects. The report of
the development of the country along
the upper Snake river valley is very
encouraging. New houses are spring
ing up everywhere. New orchards are
being placed on every available fiat
along the river. Jack O'Keef set out
last year 5000 fruit trees and has new
steam pump to irrigate his land. Many
others are following his lead and soon
the upper Snake will boast Of as fine
orchards rs line the river. The winter
in that section has been very mild and
the stock wintered we'll. There was
little or no snow and the grass Is fine
and the stock all in excellent condition.
Within few miles along the river
there are six bands of sheep, number
ing In all over $1,000 head, and large
numbers of cattle and horses are on the
range. All these wintered excellently
without feed.
The mineral prospects Of the country
are just becoming known and bid fair
to show remarkable development. The
consolidated Silver hell Go. have some
excellent prospects in sight. Ore from
one lead, the Butcher. Boy, was assayed
at $3.50 per ton. Many rich bars yet re-
main untouched along the river, from
many of which q man could make
good wages with rocker, and II the
proper machinery were introduced,
some Of them would yield q fortune.
The lime industry is another that will
some day become famous. Limestone
of the finest quality and is found up
the river. Only one claim Is now be
Ing worked at all, that belonging to
Captain Lewis. He has put on the
market some Of the best lime that has
ever been brought here. Lack Of trans
portation alone prevents this industry
from assuming large dimensions. Mag
nesia stone prospects were examined d
various points, but In the Judgment o
parties none were found that wouli

1t is Adversely Reported by the Senate
Finance Committee.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Under instruc-
tons from the Committee on Finance,
Senator Morrill,. Chairman of that COM
mittee, to-day reported adversely Senator
Stanford's bill ''to provide the Govern
ment with means sufficient to supply
the national want of a sound circulating
medium involving loans ON land at pei
cent. interest"
The report contends that landowners,
for large part the only class to be bene-
fitted, are too prudent to cover their
homesteads with mortgages, and even
young men starting in life, when borrow
ing capital, do not intend to remain
twenty years in debt, but the low rates OF
interest offered to landowners might in
spire improvident habits and extrava-
CANT speculation in n mass of people not
free from such temptations.
The report says the bill indorses n prin-
ciple put forth more than century ago
by the notorious John Law. Experience
has shown that whenever such reckless
experiments intended to secure cheap
money have been tried, they ended in
commercial crisis, bankruptcy and ma
tional disaster.
The report compares the measure under
discussion TO the Argentine Republic and
colonial currency schemes, both of which,
say the committee, resulted in shame and
disaster

STATE BOARD OF TRADE.
MEETING TO CONSIDER WORLDS
FAIR MATTERS.
General Chipman Recommended for
Chief of the Department of
horticulture.
Special to the REoonD-UN1ox.


SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. II. The State
Board of Trade met in the Bancroft
building this afternoon. Z. J. Gregory
presided.
The Secretary read a report from Fred
erick Hobbs, an agent sent up to Puget
Sound by w. H. Mills, to spy out the
land through which California on
Wheels travelled. Mr.. Hobbs verified
Mr.. Morrissey's statement that reaction
in the boom in that country may be ex-
pected at any time.
The reports were placed on file.
Mr.. Mills then offered the following
resolutions:
ReSolred, That this State Board of Trade
protests against the appointment of any citi-
zen OF this State TO the headship of the Depart
ment OF Horticulture at the Columbian Fair
who is not qualified by knowledge and ex-
perience to represent that industry.
Resotred, That such appointment would
lose TO this State its opportunity to impress
the world, with the merits of its horticulture
and also do great Injustice to the industry
throughout the Union.
The resolutions were unanimously
adopted. Colonel Irish then introduced
the following resolution:
WHEREAS, The Director-General of the
Worlds Fair has indicated his willingness TO
appoint Il cltlZen Oh ta1llOrUla 10 The position
OF head of the Bureau OF Horticulture there
fore,
Resolred, That this State Board of Trade
heartily indorses for the position. as one well
qualified by knowledge and experience to I'LL
the position, General n. P. Chapman of Red
Bluff.
Mr. Chapman stated that were he APP
pointed Chief of Department B he would
endeavor to fulfill his duties to the best OF
his ability. yet he would not enter into a
scramble for the position.
Ifit should be offered him by a repre-
sentation of majority of the people he
would accept it. He outlined the manner
in which he could conduct the depart
ment, and carried to his hearers the con-
viction that he was the most fitting man
which California could select for the po-
sition. Mr.. Irish's resolution was
adopted.
