We Neglect Our Opportunities.

1t is AN economic principle we'll
established by experience that the
country or community that can
come the nearest living within
itself can become the most indie
pendent and prosperous. In this
respect Lewiston valley is more
favored than any other locality.
Outside OF few products of the
tropical belts, every vegetable,
grass or grain can be produced and
produced abundantly. What
greater inducement could be offered
to build up thriving agricultural
community, and agriculture is the
backbone of every prosperous To-
cality.
Nature who has so lavishly
given to this valley, gifts in sol!
and climate securing to us wide
range of vegetable products, has
not withheld other advantages
which we as yet hardly appreciate.
By location Lewiston is the natural
distributing center for a great in
terror country just now coming into
prominence as rich mineral re-
gion. The products OF the valley
are in demand to supply the con.
sumers who are developing the re-
sources of the interior.
The'one thing needful to take
advantage Of the natural conditions
is to establish manufacturing in
terests here as a hand maid to our
agricultural industries. The con-
ditions demand such a movement
and some one with foresight and
capital will occupy the field.
What are the conditions9 1t is
true that we grow fruit and vegeta-
bles in such abundance that they
perish by the tons in the season Of
their harvest; but it is also true
that our merchants freight yearly
into this country for trade here
and in the interior nearly a hun
bred carloads of canned fruits and
vegetables. 1t is further true as
has already been shown in these
columns, that this valley is be com
ing noted as 3 favored locality TO
feed range stack for the market.
The annual shipments are growing
every year, but what is shipped
out as fatted stock is shipped back
as canned and cured meat products
and the consumer pays freight
both ways that could be saved as
profit to a manufacturing plant
that would cure the product here.
Another instance of like nature
is the lumber trade. The Clear.
water that flows by our doors taps
the finest pine timber belt on the
Pacific coast. The transportation
of the logs to Lewiston would be
the cheapest possible. Yet last
year alone nearly two hundred car
loads of rough and finished lumber
and lumber products were shipped
into the Lewiston valley from
coast points. Here are few spe
cific instances of opportunitie.
where manufacturing interest.
might be maintained at a profit t.
the investor and source of devel
opment to the country. We car
furnish two elements that viii
make such proposition prohta
bic one. The first is sure mar
! ket for the product and the secon'
a cheap power for operating tn
= plan. These are conditions tina
!. invite capital to field where tn
investment promises every elemen
of success.

Conduct Pra;s:d From an Official
 Source

The regular weekly drill of Company B took place at the armory last night At it's close Major Frank G. Russell of the Second bat .alion read to the company the following gratifying compliment from a gentleman whose compliments are worth receiving. "Headuuarters National Guard of Ari-
 zona, Adjutant-Generais office.
 Phoenix, Oct Il, 1897.
 'Major Frank G. Russell, Com mand ing Second Battalion First Regiment of Infantry, National Guard of Ari- zona: Sir-It is with pleasure that I make known to you, and through you to the officers and men of Com pany B. First regiment of infantry, the indisputable fact that the duty assigned them during the funeral of the late Col Scott Helm was per formed in a manner highly crediable to the officers and men.
 '"The soldierly appearance of the men was marked; the marching of the company was excellent, and the volley firing at the grave was rendered in an excellent manner.
 ''The detachment of the hospital corps could not have been excelled by any in any national guard in the United States.
 "The company and the detachment of the hospital corps fully demon strated their soldierly abilities to per form duty in a manner every way commendable and creditable to them selves and their organizations, in which the people should take a just pride. Very respectfully,

ADVERTISING THE VALLEY.
A Corresponden Has a Suggestion to
 Offer

Within the past dozen years, as per statement of a worthy resident, the chamber of commerce paid its secre- tary salary of thirty-siX hundred dollars per annum. A sufficient fund was accordingly paid into the treas ury by enterprising citizens to main tain the office and promote the busi- ness of advertising the resources and advantages of Phoenix and tributary territory throughout the country. It appears from the information at hand the best results were obtained from advertisements in the popular maga- zines. Some, however, seem to favor advertising in many newspapers Tn certain parts of the country that have been already worked and where some knowledge of Arizona obtains among the populations It must appear that advertising in the magazines, though quite expensive, is the better of the means proposed, for the invariable rule applies that the best is the cheap est in the long run. If it were pos Sible for the newspapers Of the city to awaken more interest among the people it might be suggested that through the chamber of commerce or
 
 information be obtained as to the cost of short article in several mag azines or an entire page in one or two of them, or articles in those newspa- pers that circulate in the middle west and the east, if the latter means of advertising were preferred. It does seem in view of the fact already stated that Phoenix with a much smaller population than at present in former years spent several thousand dollars per annum with profitable results, that you might again by the same line of action suggested by those who have the community veal at heart, proceed anew on right lines and with results that reward intelligent, energetic e. fort. This week while the Arizona Agricultural association holds its meeting might be a favorable oppor- tunity to discuss this, suggestion among the people. Will the Republican act?

CITY DRAINAGE.
Description of the System Devised by
 Engineer Davidson.

A great deal has been said about ago described the plan Of street paw ing agreed upon by the council. The system of drainage devised by the city engineer has never been given out, though before the engineer had qui e finished his work, The Republican de scribed the plan as closely as it was then possible to dc. It is according to the official plan, bri fly as follows:
 What would be termed the upper end of the proposed drain is at Bu- chanan and Seventh stre3is S running thence westerly on Buchanan to Third avenue, thence south on Third avenue to Grant street, theIc9 westerly along Grant street to Seventh avenue, thence southerly on the east side of Seventh avenue to the river.
 The drain through the town is to be cemented, which will admit of flood waters being carried off here ! readily, and the ditch not cemented running down Seventh avenue to, the river, will be constructed large enough to readily take care of the water flow ing into it from the smaller drains in the city.
 Every street running north and south from Seventh street on the east | to Seventh avenue on the west will be | drained into the cemented ditch and every block on str-rs running east and west will be drained into the westerly street, running south of eacf i block, commencing at Seventh strsec thus forming perfect system o1 drainage.
 It is further proposed to change the ditch commencing as point at the northeast corner of the Lightburne tract east of the M. & P. depot ant running it south to the next section line, thence west to Center street, ant abandon the present ditch running westerly from the northeast corner O. the Lightburne tract to Center stree on what is called Harrison street, a! its present situation forms leve' that obstructs the drainage of al that portion of the city lying soutl of Washington street and east O Fifth street.

 T. M. Irish, T. F. Grindell, Dr. Mo Naughton of the normal, and Miss Jane Martin of the Double Butte school, left this afternoon for Flag staff.
 On account of a washout MT. Weigle, the California butcher, was not able to get his car of cattle off, so he has improved his time and gathered an- other car. MT. Reddenf sold him twenty-five head. He received the top price so far for COWS, PA cents.
 Roscoe Walsworth has gone to Phoenix where he will spend his time with the Blinn Lumber company.
 When Tempe gets it's eyes rubbed open it will see that there are no sign boards on the street crossings to in dicate the names of streets.
