1t is estimated that for an out
lay Of $1,000 river road can be
made that would bring to Lewis
ton the trade Of 800 families, a
trade amounting to $500 an
nually and increasing every year.
Lewiston business men should not
overlook this opportunity. The
mayors message very properly
takes up the question and it is to
be hoped that the council can
70, mulate some plan OF pushing
this Improvement. With half the
effort and outlay that other towns
are making to capture the trade of
the reservation and the new min
ing camps Lewiston can step in
and capture the entire trade A
road down the river would be pas
sible lor heavy traffic throughout
the year and an immense jobbing
trade could be built up with the
merchants in the interior towns
aud the miners at various camps.
An opportunity is offered which if
taken will secure a permanent,
profitable and increasing benefit to
the commercial trade Of Lewiston.

Is enough of Il success 10 show
that the plan is practical.
The entire sand area can be
fenced this fail and sown 10 grain.
BY Spring the grain will have
such a growth that it will not be
uprooted by the spring winds.
The cost OF seeding and fencing
will only be nominal. If thought
necessary, cross fences could be run
over The fiat parallel with the river
and these would not greatly in
crease the expense. Thus pro
teCted, two season growth would
make vegetable mould that
would hold the sand from shifting
in any wind and each year after
that would give added security to
the soil
This is All improvement that
cannot be taken up too soon. The
sand area is increasing every year
and unless it receives some check
soon it will lay waste some valu-
able property including the city
park and the Normal campus.
The city is interested, the citizens
are interested and the property
holders are Interested. A little
cooperation will make it easy
work to abatc a nuisance which
if it continues will result seriously
but if taken in time can be easily
controlled.

The Saad Question.

Among the many valuable sug-
gestions in the mayors message
is the one referring to the abate-
ment of the sand nuisance on the
hill. The plan suggested is a
practical one. Property owners on
the hill have experimental this
year along the same line. A por-
ton Of the sand was fenced and
sown to grain in the spring. The
crop came up we'll but thu spring
winds came on before it was
rooted deeply enough to hold the
soil and dislodged portions of the
plat sown. A double fence was
thrown across the west line and
within the protection of that fence
the grain grew rapidly and is now
fully matured. The experiment

THE DIG WHEAT DEAL.
Both sides Express COn1dence-sug-
gested ArmOur-Lefter Combine.

CHICAGO, December IA mere Incl
dent, assure you. We are now practical
ly out OF the whole matter. We have a
little wheat yet to deliver; the necessary
bushels are ready for delivery when the
proper time appears for the filling OF these
comparatively small outstanding con-
tracts, and there is an end OF the affair,
I'm so far as we are concerned"
Thus, with characteristic terseness, does
p. ID. Armour define his position In these
the closing. days of one Of the biggest
wheat deals that have marked the history
Of the Board of Trade.
Joseph Letter, his youthful opponent, is
Just as calm and confident in his express
slons as is the big provision man. 'Mr
Armour sold wheat" he declares, "and
bought Of him. That is all. There was no
battle. II was a common, al'lost eIe-
mentary, business transaction. shall sell
the wheat which 1 have purchased when
the need Of the foreign market demands
It. 1 shall sell at a profit, and that's the
closing chapter Of my part Of the story"
These statements, coming from the
pTlUclpsllS III lle DtttIlDtI wheat u'di,
have caused much comment in Board Of
Trade circles.
VIII Joseph Letter make a profit on the
round 100000 bushels OF real wheat which
he had placed in his hands by the provis-
ion man? This is now the question.
The report is going the rounds that the
whole affair vas productive of results in
dicating big Armour-Leiter combine. In
many minds this rumor was given ere
dence. This manipulation of the local
rsarket by Letter agents, pulling the wires
from the Liverpool end, was recited over
and over. This idea, however, is ridl-
culed by the majority of traders. Some
members of the board say that Letter has
secured 100000 bushels of the cereal.
Others place the figure as high as 15OOO,-
COO while the more conservative are Will
ing to admit that half the latter amount
is nearer the correct estimate.
Mr.. Letter asserts that just as much or
this will go abroad as the foreign market
calls for, if they pay him his price"
Some folks on the board think / can't
transport grain eastward by rail, without
a loss. do they?' said Mr.. Letter. "Well,
possibly they can't, but I'm willing to
play out my end of the game along my
own lines, and / may differ with these
prophets, considerably"
