Our Sentiments Exactly.

The following article from the
East Washingtonian so well
speaks our sentiments that we
give it instead of resorting to
our own originality for expression
of the thought, and no one after
reading it should feel offended if
he fails to find his much desired
mention in this paper; News
paper readers sometimes wonder
why certain announcements, in
which they may be interested, do
not appear in their paper. Sim
ply because the editor is not fur
nished with correct data from
which to make up an intelligent
item or account. 1t is a delicate
matter, for instance, for the edi-
tor to chronicle a wedding,
birth or death without the pro-
per data, especially when an En-
ror in names or dates would CRATE
harshly upon the ears most in
terested. In such cases silence
is the only safety for the news
paper; and yet this often offends
people who do not stop to think
why it is 50. When you have
the material for an item relating
to yourself, your family or any
body or anything else, give it to
the newspaper, 1t doesn't pay
to be too modest about such
things. Remember always the
Washingtonian deems it a pleas
ure to publish all matters CT
special or general interest to it's
patrons and the public.

Stevens Action Approved,

Secretary Foster has telegraph
ed to John l.. Stevens, United
States minister at Honolulu, APP
proving his action in the Hawai-
ian difficulty and closed his dis
patch with the following: "The
rule of this government has uni
formly been to recognize and
enter into relations with any ac-
tual government in full possess
sion of effective power with the
assent OF the people. You will
continue to recognize the new
government under such condi-
tons. 1t is trusted the change.
besides conducting to the tram
guilty and welfare of the Ha-
waiian islands, will tend to draw
closer the intimate ties of amity
and common interests which so
copiously and necessarily link
them to the United States. You
will keep in constant commune
cation with the commander of
the United States naval force at
Honolulu with view of acting,
if need be, for the protection of
interests and the property of
American citizens, and aiding in
the preservation of good order
under the changed condition re-
ported.

The Proper Spirit.

: OK the first page of this issue
will be found some OF the COM
ments of the press on the REPORT
among which is an article taken
from the Grangeville Free Press,
of which Mr.. A. F. Parker is the
publisher. We are pleased to
note the. disposition shown by
our near neighbor, and now be
lieve that the work to be done by
the press of Camas Prairie has a
certainty that can only be OBJ
tanned by such action on the part
of the respective publishers. In
the past the Free Press has been
o great factor in developing the
resources of the county and state.
Although the REPORT enters the
field as a comparative child at
the same time we feel confident,
with the friendly assistance Of
all, the two papers will in the
near future be classed among the
great papers and be located in
the finest and most profitable
fields of the northwest. The
motto, "United we stand, divid-
ed we fall can apply as well to
Camas Prairie as to old Virginia,
and we trust that when many
numbers have been added to the
volum es, the Free Press and RE-
PORT may continue as to-day
finds them.

That Telephone Line.

A SHORT time since the neces-
sity of Geographic or telephone
communication with Lewiston
was suggested to one Of our bust
ness men, and the Importance of
the same was duly recognized.
After considerable correspondence
on the matter with the several
telephone and telegraph compa-
MES, arrangements were made
whereby the Prairie could secure
the line with moderate cost to
the citizens. This line will fol-
low the stage road from Lewiston
either by Waha or Fountains,
depending on the way the resi-
dents along the two lines receive
the work, to the town of Cotton
wood. The work having been
done to secure the building of
the line, it simply requires the
joint effort of all to complete the
work of the citizens, and make
certain the construction of the
line at the earliest possible date.
The Importance of this line to
the Prairie can hardly be esti-
mated. Laying aside the use 10
which it could be put in direct
communication with Lewiston
and the cities beyond, it will lie
of inestimable value to the towns
OF the Prairie in assisting immi-
grafton. AT present the hun
dreds of families who are stop
ping in Lewiston, Moscow, Gem
esee, Juliaetta and Kendrick
awaiting the opening of the res
ervation are unable to come to
the Prairie for the reason that
any movement in the way of
throwing the same open can on
ly be found out at least fifteen
hours behind these other cities.
If this line is constructed, a good
ly portion of these intending
settlers will come to the Prairie.
This means circulation of
money, the using and consum-
ing of our supplies, cash prices
for hay, grain, potatoes, etc,
more work for carpenters, black
smiths, freighters and the like,
In fact we could consume page

The "Katahdin" Launched,

The twin screw armor plate
harbor defense ram, Katahdin,
was launched at Bath Main on
the fourth instant. This vessel
has attracted much attention by
naval architects, for the reason
that the plans are entirely differ
ent from any vessel ahoat. The
designs were drawn by Rear Ad-
miral Ammen, and is intended
more for the destruction of large
armored vessels by her speed,
and strength of bow, than by her
armament. The principal pecu-
llarity consists of q number of
tanks that when filled with air
gives sufficient buoyancy to keep
her deck well above the waves,
while when the tanks are filled
with water depresses her so that
her turtle back deck is awash.
Shells intended purely as wea-
pom of offence against an attack
ing fleet and her mission will be
to sink battle ships or cruisers.
She carries no guns save a few
small ones for rapid firing.

Certain Constitutional Rights Suspendedby
Imperial Decree.
VIENNA, Sept 4.-For years the
trouble growing out of the czech agita-
tions in bohemia have been source Of
much annoyance. not to say anxiety, to
the imperial government. Some months
ago a disgraceful scene in the Bohe-
nian diet, caused by the political
group known as young czechs, re-
suited in the temporary closing of
the body by imperial decree. This
in no wise lessened the agitation carried
on by the czechs, and the political situ-
alton became so threatening that fur~
ther and more vigorous measures were
taken under advisement by the impe-
rial authorities TO put m end to the
trouble if possible. Today decree on
the subject, signed by the imperial
ministry and having the sanction
of Emperor Francis Joseph is pub
lished. This decree orders the suspen-
sion of articles 12 and 10 of the consti-
tutional law concerning the rights OF
the citizens of Prag,s,, the capital of
Bohemia, and the suburbs Of that city.
The articles suspended bear more par
ticularly upon the liberty of the press,
popular assemblies and the right OF
trial by jury for certain otfenses. n

lcntly to the floor on our backs. was,
stunned for the moment and could.
scarcely realize what had happened.
When had regained my senses found
myself under large heap of baggage
and shattered woodwork and two men
wearing masks stood close by, one hav-
ing winchester rifle aimed at my
head and the other fellow covering my
helper in n similar manner. One of
the men spoke. telling us not to move
or they would blow the brains out of
us. That is about all l can remember
of what was said. There was
not much talking done. One of the
robbers at once proceeded to drill the
safe. 1t took him over half an hour to
do the job. During the time that the
fellow was working ut the safe, there
were several of his pals outside at the
door of the car also armed with win
chesters. Some of them kept their
guns pointed at us, while others kept
shooting occasionally. When the
safe was finally broken open the
robbers at once began rifing
it of its contents, and carrying the
packages of money to the door. where
he handed it out to his pals. No help
arrived on the scene until the ROBBERS
had made their escape. The robbers
used dynamite in forcing the doors.
They fastened it in some way on
board and, mailing the board to the
door, exploded it,"
Weiss declined to give any informa-
ton MS to the amount taken by the
