Every week brings some report
that outside capital has made some
mining investments in the Clear
water or Salmon river basins. 1t
has long been known that promis-
ing properties were located in these
sections hut the difficulty has been
to get the matter so exploited that
outside capital would be attracted
to make investments. The decline
of silver mining led to the search
for gold properties and this has
brought investors 20 this section
with the favorable results shown.
The Indications on properties
worked give promise that we are
only beginning in an era of pros
perity in mining development
There Is every reason to believe
that the basins of these rivers are
still rich with untold millions Of the
yellow metal.

Wheat will be Higher.

The wheat market still has an
upward tendancy and the best re-
ports ofprevailing conditions make
the outlook even more hopeful.
We need great crop for home
consumption. Available stocks of
old crops have been drawn down
to an extremely low point. The
available wheat supply on July /
was only % eo2, goo bushels. This
is the lowest record except that of
1891 70, a period covering the last
IL years. This being true rnillers
are themselves active buyers on
the markets and are figuring on
Lewiston teller. [volume] (Lewiston, North Idaho) 1878-1900, 1897-07-16

picking up the new crop as soon
as it is put on the market.
Crops in foreign countries from
the latest reports promise to be be-
low the average, and the visible
supply is unusually small. Hardly
a prominent wheat producing
country of the old world but is
complaining more or less of crop
shortage. There will be all excel
lent market in Europe for all
America can produce this year.
With the demand both for home
consumption and for export being
above the average and the crop in
the United States not remarka
bic one, the wheat grower can rest
assured that prices will be higher
To the farmers of the Northwes
who will harvest an exceptionally
large crop the outlook is very Ell
couraging.

A Sweeping Decision.

The supreme court has handed
down a decision in the cOnsidera-
ton of the fee and salary case de-
claring it to be unconstitutional. 1t
goes further and attacks tho meth
DDS of procedure in passing all
bills in the legislature and lays
down decision, which. if followed
in its entirety, willinvalidate nearly
every law passed by the Fourth
session. Indeed many important
bills passed since statehood. will
have their validity clouded if the
supreme court holds to the Stric,
text Of its recent decision.
The effect of the rule lai! down
will be viewed with some con
sternation. Almost the entire work
of the Fourth session will be made
invalid if called in question. lr
MANY instances this would be nc
great loss, but in some cases it eft
fects the state vitality. The presen
revenue bill cannot stand the ties
of the rule laid down and it may bt
necessary to call an extra session
of the legislature to remedy thu
defects.
The statement of the case before
the court shows that the legislator
worked in total disregard Of thu
fact that there was any constltu
| tional limitations to their actions
The work of the session Throughout
is the work of the apprentice hand
The more it is shown up the NOR
it's crudities are manifest. In thu
fusion of reform elements tina
made up the last legislature Their
was neither plan nor purpose. III
result IS hodge podge of compro
misses that will stand neither tn
test OF law nor justice.

Lewiston valley has not been
much advertised as a summer re
sort but compared with the climate
in the heat stricken districts of the
east during the past fortnight we
could invite sufferers to a place
where sun strokes are never known

always makes the night time a

Every law should be the crystal
lization of pubic sentiment, Unless
it is all efforts to- enforce it are
week and uncertain. Whenever
public sentiment demands a law or
the enforcement of the existing law
then they are living and vital
issues. 1t is the Indifference that
public opinion has for the enforce
ment of laws that makes officers
careless and law breakers bold.

The Ohio Democratic convention
was asked to endorse Bryan for
1900, but compromised by giving
him three cheers. The Ohio DEM
ocrats think with Uncle Horace
Boies that it is just as well to wait
a bit before making arrangements

Bryan in 1896, then voted for the
other fellow, and conservative

OF the Presidents Cabinet, the Justices OF

THE BATTLE GREECE LOST.
Details of the Great Fight North of the
Salamvria.

Details of the Great Fight North of the
Salamvria.
LAR1ssA, Thessaly (By Cable).-When
the right flank Of the Greek army withdrew
from Nezeros, it retired to Raaspne, and
then to Dereli. The Greek line ex-
tended from near Dereli west to near Mil
ouna Pass. The Turkish line extended
from the hills toward Milouna Pass to the
pass itself, where it was closely confronted
by the left flank OF the Greek army.
The Turkish guns, which were posted on
the ridges, opened fire at long range.
Nothing could be seen or heard at first but
the boom Of the guns, the accompanying
sDurts OF smoke and the whiz OF the shells.
Later the loud crack OF scrapnel bursting
over the Greek lines could be heard.
It was not splendid, 1t was not inspiring,
and 1t was not desperately bloody. 1t was
nothing like the description Of battles In
books. There was only an incessant boom
until the individual booms became indis-
tinguishable and were merged into dull,
deafening roar.
Now and again q wounded artilleryman
crayIed upward with painful slowness,
moaning. Mingling with the roar Of the
artillery came q grinding, cracking noise
like the jarring Of heavy cog wheels run
ming ut terrific speed. It was the rifle fire
OF the two armies. GraQualiy Gne Oroeh
guns slackened fire, and the Turks gath
cred for a charge. Word came to assault
the enemy's positions. The Turkish bugles
sounded, and the lines Of gray infantry be-
low waved their fezes. The spectacle was
magnificent.
The centre of the Greek defence was
large, square house. All around it swarmed
soldiers, who appeared like ants. They
fred steadily upon the advancing skirmish-
ers, who were scattered in open order. Be-
hind them were masses of troops moving
forward mechanically and remorselessiy.
Behind these was trail OF PROSTATE
figures.
Slowly the Turkish skirmishers neared
the little hill on which the house was Sit
uated, moving all the time with machine
like precision Now the ants around the
house showed great perturbation. They
scurried to and fro, swayed back, and re-
treated, and the Turks had taken the cen
ire Of the Greek position. There was no
waiting for bayonet attack. There was
no work with cold steel. The ambulance
drove forward to collect the wounded
Edhem Pasha pushed on behind the VIC
torious troops. -
The Turkish losses were remarkably small
ten killed and thirty-eight wounded, a
few of the latter seriously. In the Greek

vouchsafed General Of the stamp needed
to restore the morale of her army after such
q lapse into panic. Whether the war will
survive the dynasty or the dynasty the war
Is now the question agitatlng mems minds.
The public feeling in Athens has become
80 excited by the reverses in Thessaly that
indications point to revolution in favor OF
the establishment Of republic. The first
expression of this sentiment was followed
by the resignation of the Ministry.
Hostile demonstrations were made at the
palace by hundreds Of mon, armed and
threatening disorder, from which, perhaps,
they were only prevented by the interven-
ton of Hellenic Deputies Of the opposition.
There Is still great alarm in the Greek
capital for the safety of the King. and 1t is
declared that he may be deposed, or even
assassinated, at any moment. The King,
in obedience to the urgent exhortation OF
his Ministry, had already consented to
thoroughly reorganize the army.
The Athenians are greatly excited at the

PARADE ON WATER.
Brave Array of United States Vessels or

Brave Array of United States Vessels on
the Hudson.
The exercises at the tomb were concluded
at about the time the head Of the parade
appeared, and the President reviewed it as
it filed by in the order given. When the
last detachment had marched before him,
President Mckinley went aboard the Dol
phin. As the President boarded his nag
ship the combined fleet of war vessels gave
the Presidential salute-twenty-one guns.
President Mckinley was accompanied on
the Dolphin by the Cabinet, the foreign
Ambassadors and Ministers, Admiral Brown,
Generals Miles, John ". Schofeld and Dan
lei Butterfeld.
The ships were dressed in rainbow fash
ion with the signal flags, which were strung
from the bows over the trucks Of the masts
and fastened to the jack staff at the stern5
of the vessels. Besides this the vessel
floated ensigns at the stern and union jacks
on the stats on the bows OF the ships,
The men-of-war, United States and for
eipn. were anchored in double column In
m Upstream, abreast of the monument, of
Riverside. Below these, riding In double col
umn also, was the fleet of'revenue cutters and
lighthouse vessels. The merchant marine
division, s'like rainbows dressed" paraded
up the river In passing the monument
the vessels saluted by dipping colors. This
division ROUNDED q Stake DOaI anu pEococu-
ed down stream again, heaving to and
forming in double column just below the
cutters and lighthouse boats. Then the yes
ssls awaited the Presidential review. AS the
Dolphin started down between the columns
the North Atlantic squadron and the foreign
warships blazed forth O Presidential salute
Of twenty-one guns. The men OF the mer-
chant marine manned the yards and gave
three hearty cheers as the reviewing party
moved past. The steam river craft gave
vent to their enthusiasm through brazen
and iron-throated whistles.
After the review the Presidential party
was driven back to the hotels to prepare
for the reception at the Union League in
the evening. The reception was a grand
affair.
There were many other receptions at
night on a minor SCALE and reunions innu-
merable. Men who had not met since war
times, and then in some cases face to face
as foes on the battlefield, drank from the
same canteen to one toast, "a peaceful and
reunited country and the memory of Ulys-
ses Simpson Grant" The city ITSELF
swathed In the Stars and Stripes during the
day, was brilliantly Illuminated at night,
for the Mayor had called on patriotic New
Workers to thus show their respect for the
memory OF the great departed. So the city
seemed like veritable fairyland after the
sun went down.

The Turks captured six large guns In the
fort and q mountain battery, with several
prisoners, among whom were officers, and
all the military stores. Edhem Pasha pro-
hibited any pillaging, and there have been
neither massacres nor outrages, though
sor1e of the Greeks burned their houses.
The dead are not numerous. The Turks
maintain excellent discipline. The Greek
army fed to the mountain sides. Many OF
the inhabitants are already returning.
At this moment-six p. m.-the Ottoman
troops are entering the town in triumph,
trumpets playing and banners waving.
Mustapha Matik Bey has been constituted
commandant Of the town. He has taken
possession OF the bank with the money it
contains. The town will be held by small
garrison. Military operations In this quar-
ter are for the time concluded. The eau
tious policy of Edhem Pacha is fully justi-
fed, and he deserves every congratulation
as skilful and humane general.
