Electric Lights.

The new year opens auspiciously for
Lewiston en- every hand. Every enter
prise thus far proposed will be carried
out and new ones rise above the horizon
each day. The TELLER predicts that
this is Lewiston's year to make a
record.
The proposition to light the city with
electricity has been accepted by the
council. At its meeting last Thursday
night the bids were opened and after
some discussion the one offered by
Messrs. Vollmer Il Scott was accepted.
This is in effect contract to furnish
the city ten arc lights at the rate OF $40
per month each for a term of ten years,
with guaranty to furnish additional
lights at the rate of $40 per month, as
the growth of the city demands them.
The lights are to be of 200O candle pow
er and the plant is to be in full opera
ton by the first of July. The company
have executed bond to that effect.
The firm will retit the old sash and
and door factory, place the machinery
at that point and generate the power
there. 1t is their object to put IN a
plant that will be first class In every
particular. Both arc and incandescen'
liphts will be used and the rental tt
priyate parties will be placed at rate
as low IA will be consistent with Ell
cient service. Here is another enter

Rev. Howson B. Terry expects to be

that day.
Remember that the price of subscrip-
tlon on the TELLER is $3.50 only to
those who pay within the year. As
soon AS the year closes this offer will
not hold. This is merely discount off
for cash. Do you want to save SOC. if

The Odd Fellows lodge have decided
to build this year, and will erect two
story frame building on their lot now
occupied by the Mitchell & Lewis i'm
pliment house. The new building
will be 40 by S3, the upper story will
be for lodge room and the first floor
occupied by the company as at present.
Work will probably begin as soon as
the material can be gotten on the
ground.
This is examination week at the
public schools. Next week the result
will be published in the TELLER.
This is the second quarters examina-
tion and it will be taken as basis to
determine who are to be promoted at
the close of the year. Parents will do
well to examine the lists carefully to
see if their children are advancing
properly or merely wasting time at
school, having head full of outside
folly of some kind.
Magnesia Stone of the finest quality
is daily arriving at the bank building.
1t is thought that the force will come
down from the quarry at the close of the
week and commence cutting the stone
to complete the building. The difficult
and tedious work is nearly completed
and the remainder of the structure can
be rapidly completed. The frame work
is now well advanced and the entire
building will be finished within a
few weeks.

mate. This surprise will be greater to
those who have been inclined to regard
the degrees of heat and cold simply as
so many degrees of latitude from the
equator without taking into account
the modifying influences that may in
tervene to ameliorate the extremes Of
heat or cold that would otherwise exist.
Riverside, on Snake river, is In latitude
As degrees 25 minutes. Places on this
parallel in the Atlantic states would
have long, severe cold winters, a short
summer and q humid atmosphere.
Here the conditions are almost reversed.
The winters are mild and short, the
summers long, hot and dry. Did space
permit, 1t would be interesting to review
the conditions that conspire to produce
climatic effects, but that they exist will
be shown further on.
The culture Of the grape has, perhaps,
received more scientific study and
research than any other fruit; through
years Of continued observation French
savants have demonstrated the number
of degrees, daily mean temperature,
necessary to produce the bloom and
ripe the fruit. 1t Is stated for the
period of a month following the ap-
pearance Of the seeds, the mean
temperature should not fall below
68.2 degrees Fah., and that 85 degrees
is the lowest at which grapes will ripen,
aud that the mean heati Of the period
from the vegetation Of the vine to the
ripening Of the fruit must be at least 50
degrees. That the most important
season is twenty days prior to the RI
pening of the fruit, during which time
the mean daily temperature should be
1875 degrees.
Now, to prove that the Snake River
Valley receives sufficient heat to per-
fectly ripen the grape, as shown by the
French tests as given above, attention
Is called to the following table, COM
piled from the Report Of the Chief
Signal Officer Of the U. 8. A. for the
year 1889. Lewiston, Idaho, situated
at the confluence of the Clearwater and
Snake rivers, is only three miles from
Riverside, the point on Snake river to
which particular attention Is called.
For the sake Of comparison several
well-known centers Of fruit growing In
California are included In the list.
Lewiston teller. [volume] (Lewiston, North Idaho) 1878-1900, 1892-02-18

From the above table 1t will be seen
that the Snake river not only possesses
the requisite degree Of heat for the pro-
per development of the grape In its va
rious stages Of growth as required In
the authorities quoted above, but In
this respect compares favorably with
the most noted grape growing sections
Of California. It will be observed that
one of the authorities quoted above
states that to attain the highest degree
of excellence the mean daily tempera-
ture twenty days prior to ripening
should be 1876 degrees Fab. BY refer
ence to the table above 1t will be seen
that the average mean for both July
and August are above 1916, and, a. q
matter of fact, so Is also the early part
of September; there Is almost invaria-
lily cool spell the latter part OF the
month, which reduces the general av-
erage, but it is during the latter part of
August and first of September that the
grapes ripen, when the high tempera-
ture is only exceeded by two places In
the list, one Of which, Fresno, is one OF
} the hottest fruit growing sections In
California. Direct sunlight, a requis.

THE CAUSE OF GOLD EXPORT.

Several explanations have been made
for the present export of gold. Some
find a reason in the large amount of
legal-tender money incident to the pur-
chase of silver bullion with the legal
tender certificates of the government,
while others are sure that il is due to
the holding back of wheat and cotton
because of the ruling low prices. If it
is due to the abundance of legal-tender
money, why was not the export going
on during the months previous to the
presidential elcctionf There was as
much cause during that period as during
the weeks which have followed that
event. The legai-ten6er certificates
have not increased $4,000, 900 since the
election, which is about the measure of
the gold export. The holding back of
staples like wheat and cotton would ac-
count for the export of gold, If there
had been such a Withholding. Such has
not been the case; on the con-
trary. the aggregate export of
these and other American staples,
during September. October and No
vember, were never SO large, except
during last year. when the short wheat
crop in Europe made them phenomenally
large. 1t does not seem that these as
SYMPTOMS afford n adequate explana-
ton. There is another cause.-the re-
turn of large quantities of American
securities. Why are these coming back?
fTharn - o-,-ra rooeo E,ro IN.
v~estors. who are conservative even to
timidity, are close observers of move
ments in the United States which are
likely to affect American securities.
They understand, if all the people in
the United States do not, that at the
last election the economic or industrial
policy of this country which has benin
existence more than a quarter of a GEN.
tury was repudiated if the professions
of the successful party have been made
in good faith. Under the industrial
and financial policy which has given
the country an amazing prosperity
the securities they have been hold
ing are the best in the world.
They fear that the value of the securi-
ties they hold-railroad, manufacturing,
banking and like stocks-wi be affect
ed by a policy which is sure to affect
the industries and enterprises which
have made the properties in which they
have invested profitable. Some of these
holders of American securities are TAX
ing counsel of their doubts and fears.
and are selling. The selling of these
securities returns them to this country,
and gold is sent back to pay for them.
In other words. the result of the cleo
ton of Nov. s. 1892. explains the export
of gold.

THE ST. LOUIS SENSATION.

The defalcation in the city treasurer's
office of st. Louis unites the features of
n painful tragedy with those of common
thievery. Foerstel, jr., son Of the city
treasurer, seems to have been what is
vulgarly termed ga high roller" He
belonged to O class of young men which
are to be found in all cities devoting
themselves. after a fashion, to business
in the daytime and to all sorts of dissi-
patton at night, making money with one
hand and spending it with both. On
the race-course he was known as q
plunRer, and his reputation among those
who knew him best was that of o very
fast young man. Given such a char
acter and such habits, with q chance TO
steal, and it was pretty cure the young
man would become a thief, as he did.
When men of that class find they can
not keep up their pace on their own
money they are very apt to draw on
that of other people. They would
rather steal than reform. Young Foer-
stel began by being q heavy swell and

committing suicide he did the best thing
and about the only thing that was left
for him after he had completed his
record by trying to burn the City Hall
to hide the evidences of his guilt.
Foerstel. ST., father of the embezzler,
seems to nave erred only in the direction
of weakness. He must have been blind,
indeed, to have placed such implicit con-
fidence. in q son whose exploits as a fast
young man were town talk. He seems
to have been almost the only person in
st. Louis who vas ignorant of his sons
habits. If he had known the young man
as well as he ought he would never have
placed him in such a position of trust,
and if he had watched him as closely as
every employer ought to watch his con-
fidential clerks he would have known
that the young man was going in very
dangerous ways. But the old mans
eyes were not opened until the crash
came. and even after his son had COM
mitted suicide he continued to indulge
n vague hope that Eddie" would soon
appear and explain things. This is the
pathetic side of the case. There is room
for sympathy with the trusting father.
though he erred %Rrievously in placing
such implicit trust in SO worthless a son.
The taxpayers of st. Louis IRE left to
lament the loss of 500. 900 as the result of
putting unfit men in Office.

be would have learned that the one matter
upon which Judge Elliott does express an
emphatic and unqualified opinion Is that of

concurs with the majority opinion, and. if
possible, takes even broader ground than
that laid down in the principal opinion

that power as absolutely necessary 20 the
