ton at the Opera House next Monday.

scenery, new costumes and appoint
ments, and the entire New York cast,
which includes all the old favorites Of

portions. 1t had a run of over 200

lengthy engagements in New York,
Boston and other large cities.
MY WIFE'S FRIEND.
"My Wifes Friend Will be present.
ed at the Opera House next Thursday
night, January 10th, by VIM. C. An
drew and his associate players. The
play is one of those side-splitting come
dies, of which "Featherbrain" probably
was the first seen in this country and
which gave the American public a
taste for moderate sample of Palais
Royal Vaudeville. 1t must not be I'M
derstood however, that MY Wife's
Friend" is a French production; on the
contrary, it is strictly American, the
action taking place in picturesque New
Jersey and the characters picturesque
Jerseymen, who are stuck on Elizabeth,
n. j.; perhaps they are a little gay"
but what of it? The fun is all harm
less and extremely refreshing. The
sale of seats will open Tuesday, January
18th.
THE PRODIGAL FATHER"
That ever popular farce, THE Prod
igal Father" jollier and more inter-
esting than ever, will be the attraction
at the Grand for three nights, begin
ming Monday, January 18th. New fun
makers, new specialties, the latest
songs, parodies, jokes and dances, sure
to make the funny farce fresh and more
sparkling than ever. Since its last APP
pearance, The Prodigal Father" has
been changed from a straight comedy
into a rollicking and jovial comedy. A
number Of clever vaudeville stars have
been added to the cast, and the comedy
is more than ever up to date.
THE HIT OF THE SEASON.
No performance hasever been given at
the Grand Opera House more worthy
Of success or praise than that of the
Country Merchant" now filling a three
nights engagement at that popular re-
sort. Mckee Rankin touches the popu-
lar chord in the pathOs he has so clev-
erly expressed in the manuscript. and
blended as nicely as il is with comedy
in it, is without doubt one of the best
attractions seen here in a long time.
The company is an excellent one
throughout, each member being an arr
list of exceptional ability and are well
up in their respective parts. As "Eben
Baxter" the rural postmaster, Mr..
COwles has a character that fits aim
exactly and in it he makes the hit of
his life. The usual matiness Will be
given this afternoon, and the engage
ment will close tonight. Those desir-
ing to see this excellent attraction
should secure their seats at once.

Arbor day is becoming a very
popular holiday. The love of trees
is an universal passion. There is
something ennobling in the very
thought of planting a tree. The
children should be encouraged to
plant and cultivate flowers, shrub
berry and trees. The association OF
this pleasant work with a holiday
is a lesson in patriotism. The love
of home and country should be foS,
tered more aSSiduouSlv than it is
generally. An occasion like Arbol
day, where old and Young associate
free from cares and duties, encour.

River Improvements.

lntle River and Harbor bill which
passed the house April 9th, Con
gresham Wilson succeeded IN hav-
ing an appropriation Of >27,OUo Tor
the Improvement of the Clearwater
river, 5000 for Improvement Of the
kootenai river and an order made
for a survey and estimate OF the
Pend d 'Orcillc. These streams are
located in the northern part OF Idaho
and are great natural highways
which, when improved, viii provide
transportation facilities such as can
not now I've enjoyed under any other
circumstances Steamboats, are ply
ing on all Of them and all that pre-
vents 4 great internal commerce are
a few distractions to navigation.
, In securing these appropriations
during these times Of cries tor re.
trenchmcnt. etc, Mr.. Wilson had to
make hard fight.
There have been two surveys OF
the Clearwater; one in 1873 and
one in 1888, but none since, 50 that
the chief of engineers and secretary
of war not only failed to recon-
mend an appropriation, but ahso-
lutelV declined to endorse one until
4 survey and estimate had been
made. This would have delayed
this appropriation at least three
years, and would have been eX-
ceedIngly unfortunate for the peo-
pie of Latah, Nez Perces and Idaho
counties, who will be benefited ~
the Improvement Of this river. lr
securing this appropriation, Mr
Wilson accomplished something
which is an exception to all othe
items in the River and Harbor bill
The opening of the Nez Perces In
dian reservation to settlement ha
resulted in large influx OF popula
ton into Nez Perces county. Abou
six hundred thousand acres of ian,
was opened to entry, large PAR
of which is suited to wheat culture
and it is estimated that this yea
there will be raised on the land
tributary to the Clearwater m Or
than twelve hundred thousan
bushels of wheat. This can onl
reach the market by improve
transportation facilities and the az

do more towards accomplishin
this than all other agencies.

of Idaho and Nez Perez countie:

1t Is 4 significant fast that in the
past three years OF general business
depression all over the world, there
has not been 4 failure in Lewiston
nor has there been a foreclosure OF
a mortgage on farm land in the
Lewiston valley. In that time a
number OF business enterprises
have been started and carried TO
success, and there has not been an
instance OF mixed farming that did
not return good profits to the nus
bandman.

The Importance of full attend
ance at the primaries next Satur-
day and a positive expression on
important subjects cannot be over
estimated. The question of silver
is the most important one before
the people. 1t is not secondary to
the question of protection; nor is il
true that it is not a question to he
considered in a republican caucus.
The sentiment of the people IN the
question OF free silver should be
expressed in no uncertain terms.
Matters have shaped themselves so
that the fight against Dubois as a
delegate to the national convention
is a fight against silver. The
county convention should pass
strong resolutions endorsing the
course OF Dubois and other silver
senators in the vote on the Dinglev
tariff bill. The question is protec-
ton and silver not one. but both.
Let the people understand this and
be not deceived by those who hold
selfish interests above party policy.

that the Indians should share this

Silver and the Old Parties.

That the silver movement has
made material progress in the past
year there can be no doubt. The
leaders Of the opposing element in
both old parties are fighting this
issue with all the energy Of many
Years OF reserved force. The dem
otfatic party has the policy OF the
man in the white house forced upon
lt'so persiStentIy that a split is
probable. 1t seems, now, that a
deadlock at Chicago is probability
The republican gold advocates
have inaugurated a fight against
the silver element OF the party that
brings the issue prominently before
the Whol t country. That the advo-
Gates have gained ground in all
parties is very evident. There may
have been a question in the past
'tohN NIlN iIiool NiINNNlNN ilICillo ID1
advancing the silver cause -Wheth-
er in the old parties or by the form
ing OF a new party but that is no
longer a debatable question. The
change of sentiment in the eastern
states makes it Selt-eVdent that
the republicans cannot long resist
the growth of the sentiment within
the party ranks.
The result of the elections Of
next fall will establish the fact that
free coinage is live issue and an
expression at the ballot will come
soon if it is not one of the ma
tional issues in the pending cam
paign. The aCtion of the Senators
in the vote on the Dingley bill last
month was the master stroke in
the battle for silver it may not
have been true republcanism
when measured by the New Eng
land standard, but 1t was when
measured by the sentiment of the
western constituents of the five
protesting senators. That vote
made the silver question an issue
worthy of recognition in national
politics, and already good results
are manifest.
The republicans have split upon
the rock in some of the states and
the democrats are confused by many
prophets. In Oregon the throes of
reformation are shaking up the re-
publican party. The silver cam
paign began early there, but some
strong foemen We're in the field
against the reform. The silver issue
drove Dolph out of the senate, and
: a reverse placed Tongue in nomina-
ton over Hermann. The result is
formidable split on the issue and
a democratic victory is not imProb-
able. All of these things are work
ing together as great object les
son that will result in ultimate good.
The gold standard people are
working secretly but with vigor to
deceive the voters. In Idaho it is
believed there are secret enemies
to the cause of silver. In the ap-
preaching primaries the voters
should express themselves in nc
uncertain tones on this subject. II
a fair expression is made, there is
no doubt about the sentiment. BY
bringing every influence to bean
with full force, it is not improbable
that we may gain concession at st
Louis We can at least gain re-
specttul consideration and secure d
place in the "order of business in
future deiiberative republican or-
carnations. We will at least be
honored with public attention as
long as we keep up an interesting
fight. But let us fight in the lines
of the strong parties, Our recent
success leaves no doubt of the wis
dom of this policy.
