George william Curtis Treatment OF an
Ambitious Young Reporter

george William Curtis Treatment OF an
Ambitious Young Reporter.
Some sixteen or seventeen years ago
was reporter on one of the Chicago
papers. had only been little while in
the business, and was both green aud
ambitious. Now it happened that a
part of my work was To visit the various
hotels every evening in the search for
personal items, the arrival of well
known people and the like. 1t was not
work of the highest order, bnt put my
heart in il and really think that did. IL
well. One evening was standing ia the
Office of certain hotel. which for the
purposes of this story need not be pre-
cisely identified, when / observed y
handsome. distinguished looking gentle
man enter, walk up TO the desk and
register.
As he turned to say word or two to
the clerk stepped up behind him and
saw what he had written ON the register.
1t was George William Curtis, New
York" | knew that Mr.. Curtis was
advertised To lecture on the following
evening, and it occurred to me that it
would be good thing il / could get I'M
interview for my paper with such Rtlis-
tinguished man. You see what an
ardent beginner in newspaper work |
was. In fact, was full of western en-.
thusiasm, and was not lacking in
cheek. So when Mr. Curtis turned
away from the desk | summoned up all
my courage-and il did require consider
able-and accosted him.
'Mr. Curtis" said /. II am reporter
for The ---, and thought that perhaps
you might have something TO say that
would be of interest to the people OF
Chicago"
He turned and looked at me in the
kindhest way. / shall never forget the
geniality and good nature that beamed
upon me from his eyes and his whole
face nor the answer which he made 80
my suggestion.
''Ah," said he with the most beauti-
full smile that ever saw, "then you and
belong To the same profession"
What could have been more thought
full and considerate to the raw young re-
porter? Ii has always seemed TO me that
there could not have been anything said
better calculated to relieve my embar-
rassment and make me feel at home. At
the same time / never could get rid OF
the impression that my answer was nj
most as good as his remark.
Yes" said /, "Mr. Curtis, you are nj
one end of il and am at the other"
OF course he laughed right heartily at
my sally, and instantly we seemed on
the best Of terms. Well, all he had To
tell me was that he was on lecture
tour and that he would speak in Chicago
the next evening. He was very willing
to tell me where he was going-I sup
pose he saw no objection TO advertising
himself in that way-and after few
minutes pleasant chat l took my leave.
Mr.. Curtis giving me most gracious
good night" The result was about
stickful in The - the next morning.
That was the only time ever saw
George William Curtis in my life. II is
matter Of deep regret to me, now that
he is gone, that | never went 10 hear
him lecture. New York Tribune.

LEWISTON. IDAHO. March 7, 1892.
Most of the Lewiston Water and
Light Co.'S electric plant has arrived
and they are going to push the work.
The ditch is completed and part OF
the mains laid over the hill to the new
cemetery.
The old cemetery looks as If they in.
tended to use 1t again and we're leaving

Work still goes on on the excavation
for the Odd Fellows Temple; they have
changed their minds and build of brick

George Glars is confined to his room

good many strangers in the city

ton so far Is headed for Craig's noun

p. M. Davis and J. NJ. Howe have
gone to Spokane Falls as members of the
railroad committee. to be there when
Mr. Oaks is there, to act in concert with
the Spokane committee in urging the
completion of the Lewiston branch of
the Spokane & Palouse.
The fish wheels are getting in their
work on the salmon and those who

they failed TO get in their fall hunt, buy

money at that.
The farmers are hard at IL putting in
crops, Last week some of them had to
quit for the reason that the ground was
too wet.
Spring is upon us. The poplar and
fruit buds are swelling and the hills are
green, and the old mossback is to be

This town would be much
more easy of access if some
attention was given to road
matters in our own immediate
vicinity. For instance, a cut
off of half-a-mile can be made
by opening a short piece of
new road through land owned
by N. Markham and W. Hav-
ernick, and connecting with
the Fairview and Clearwater
roads. There is also room for
improvement in the grade by
the mill, and it has been sug
gested to avoid the grade al
together by establishing a new
road from the flume crossing
to the burying ground.
Another suggested improv-
ment is to abandon the road
across the adobe flat west of
town by laying out a new and
more direct road on higher
ground. We are told that the
property owners will gladly
donate the land required for
these Improvements and also
give other help. These are
liberal offers and should be ia
ken advantage of at once. At
the present rate of increase in
the value of land on Camas
Prairie it will soon be impos-
sible to establish new roads
over private property without
first assessing damages to the
owner for land taken for pub
lie use. Hall street should al
so be opened both north and
south. The easier it is to get
here, the more frequently peo-
pie will come to town. Good
roads are necessary to the
prosperity of any community,
and town and country people
ought to pull together to Sc
cure them.

Dubois Clageft Contest Settled.

Dubois ClaOeft Contest Settled.
The senatorial contest was
finally decided in the US. sem
ate March 3 in favor of Dubois
by a vote of 55 to s. The me-
gative votes were cast by Kyle.
Farmers Alliance, Stewart, re-
publican, and George, Harris
and Pasco, democrats.
The democratic senators
who voted to sustain Dubois
we're; Bate, Berry, Call, Car
Isle, Chiffon, Cockrell, Coke,
Colquitt, Gibson, of Maryland,
Hill, Kenna, Mcpherson, Nor
gan, Palmer, Pugh, Turpie,
Vest, Villas, Voorhees,, Walt
hall and White.
The question at issue was
purely legal one, relating ex-
clusively to the organization
of the Idaho legislature, and
party politics cut no figure in
the discussion. Mr.. Clagett
was given the privilege of ad-
dressing the senate in his own
behalf, privilege not accord
ed to contestants for 80 years,
and he made an able argument
in his own behalf The affair
never would have attained the
dignity of q contestit the DEM
ocratic members of the state
legislature had not officiously
interfered in a republican fac
tional fight. On a popular
vote senator Dubois would un-
questionably have been the
choice of three-fourths of the
republicans of Idaho for his
present position.
