Private Information.

1t does beat all what capacity
some people have for obtaining
"private information," and their
ability to absorb and enlarge
upon all sorts of rumors. The
latest in this line is from an in
dividual from down about Julia
eta or Lewiston. By way of
"private information" he il ad-
vlsed that an engineer in the
interest of the Northern Pacific
railroad had been oyer the grade
from Julisetta to Lapwai, and
had taken surveys of the old
bridge site above the agency"
Now, all this, in print, sounds
very nice, and we would be glad
if it were true. But this old
chestnut of building a railroad
into Lewiston, is becoming
rather stale. Every spring, for
the past five or six years the
same old nut has been raked
from the fire, but the iron horse
has never yet went putting and
snorting into the busy little city
that lies thousands of feet below
sea level, and we are afraid that
many of Lewiston's citizens will
join the silent majority and pass
over to the other shore before
she realizes the hopes of her am
bitione. But we would like very
much to see a railroad into
Lewiston. We would like to see
the day when Lewiston and Mos
COW would enter into more
friendly business relations; when
the conditions of the present
would obliterate the differences
of the past, and in spirit, at least,
be reunited for the common good
OF both towns, both counties,
the community contiguous to
both, and the state at large.
Lewiston is a splendid little
city. Her resources are great
and she has a host of broad
gagged, energetic, loyal, con-
scientious business men, whom
any city should be proud to class
as her own; but we must confess
some of them are a bit selfish
it is human nature to be selfish,
therefore we can not, and do not
blame them. 1t should not be
the aim to tear down, but tC
build up. We should not be
divided against ourselves. Let
us build up this little empire o.
ours, and build it, not upon the
sands, but upon the rocks. Anc
the only way we can do it is by
unity Of action, unity of thought
and a grand concentration o
forces. Let Northern Idaho ge
together, pull together and worl
in harmony; there is plenty o
room in Lewiston, Moscow, Gen
esee, Kendrick, Vollmer, Julia
eta, Leland and other places; M
one place can get, or hope to get
all the newcomers who are con
stantly coming to the new west
But each town and each com
munity can get its share. Will
we are growing ourselves W
should help others grow and vic
versa. Moscow have good wor'
for Lewiston and other towns
and other towns should have
good word for Moscow. Come fel
lows, let's get together for tn
common good of all.

rhe strength o, Metal.

The breaking strain of metals is
something that has interested scien-
lists for many years. and is of a pc
culiar moment to builders who employ
metals in the course of their work.
AS an example of the strength of a
wire, it is stated that there is in Swift
zerland single span of wire crossing
the lake Of Wallenstadt in the canton
of St. Gail. 1t was built by the Swiss
telephone bureau. and is the longest
unsupported telegraph wire in the
world. Its ends are anchored to two
stone peers supporting iron towers
which are seven thousand eight hun
lred and seventy-two feet apart. The
towers are SO high that the wire at its
lowest point is one hundred. and thir-
ty-one feet above the surface of the
lake. The wire was made of specially
prepared steel, and is only one and one
half inches in diameter.
