This is the dullest season that
Cottonwood has ever experienced.
At this time OF year business is
usually good; but this season is an
exception. The Cottonwood mer
chants do not advertise any bar
gains as is done in other places,
and as consequence many intend
ing purchasers 60 where they see
Che merchants advertise, and as a
result Cottonwood is not doing the
business that should be done, and
consequently all branches suffer.
Any business man who refuses to
advertise his goods or his business
because Of pique, politics, or any
personal dislike for the editor, as
an individual, is not much of
business man. Business, and per-
sonal likes or dislikes, are widely
divergent and any man is a fool
who will allow his business to suf-
fer because Of any personal matter.
Competition lie getting SO strong
that every honorable means should
be taken, and is taken advantage Of
by shrewd thorough business men
who desire to increase their bust
ness. A good many people are some
what afraid to deal with men who
do not tell the people what they
have to sell through the medium
Of the newspaper.
Advertising should be done in a
plain, straightforward way as you
would talk to the people and the
newspaper that has the largest cir
eulatisn in your community should
be selected as the medium.

vINELAND NOTES.

A Vineland (Asotin County,
correspondent writes that strawber-
ries there last summer paid growers
over $400 per acre. and they failed
to meet the demand from Lewiston
and the hill towns, Melons were
easier to grow-as easy as potatoes,
and paid 1925 net and more per
acre. The yield is wonderful. Oni-
ons and all other high class vegeta-
hles pay handsomely. Next season
the direct railroad connections with
Spokane and other markets will
greatly increase the demand.

THE n. ?. MAKES A MOVE
Built Halt Mile Up Snake River
Yesterday,

The Northern Pacific took the
aggressive yesterday id the big fight
for Lewiston territory and laid a
half mile of track. Yesterday morn
ing the extreme terminus of the
Northern Pacific main track was at
point near the approach to the
Pearcy ferry on Snake river avenue.
This morning it is at point short
distance west of the o. N. & N.
stock yards, near the old slaughter
house. Itisn't a pretty piece of track.
It's crooked and rolling, because
there was but little if any grading
done. The stakes show the main
survey goes right through the big
ferry tower, but the track that was
laid yesterday doesn't. The North
ern Pacific didn't have time to move
the tower yesterday so the track
just ran right around it and pitch
ed off down to the level Of the beach
below, More than fifty men were
engaged in laying the piece of track
yesterday. They commenced early
in the morning and did not quit
until late in the evening. A citizen
who was standing nearby when the
work commenced heard the man IN
charge say to one of the under boss
es: clay the track as fast as hell;
never mind the details.o
No further information from a
railroad source was given the pub
lie regarding the work, SO the citi-
zens were compelled to remain in
ignorance and spent all the day
con featuring.
Some said that the Northern Pas
cific laid the track to prevent the
o. R. & N. securing a depot right
in that section OF the city. Others
that the O. R. & N. wanted to enter
the city by bridging the Snake at
that point, and the Northern Paci-
fic wanted to be as troublesome as
possible, and still others said that
the Northern Pacific was simply
beginning to construct an extension
in conformity with its old survey to
the Camas Prairie.
This latter view is perhaps the
most logical. The company spent
thousands of dollars grading on the
line between this point and Tam
many in 1890, and undoubtedly at
that time intended reaching the
Camas Prairie by that route. The
value Of such line is without dis
pute, and it is unlikely that the
Pacific will surrender its
privilege to be embraced by it's RI
val, which would undoubtedly fol-
low. If it is the intention of the
Northern Pacific to push to hasty
completion the Butte cutoff, the
logic of feeder up the Snake river
is evident. It is the only route by
which this company could control
the growing traffic of the Tammany,
Waha, Craig mountain and Camas
Prairie sections, and it would also
enable them by building a branch
to penetrate the great Salmon river
and Seven Devils mining regions.
If this line is built, the Northern
Pacific with it's Lapwai feeder and
extention tapping the
and interior country,
would surely have strong and
convenient system, for handling the
trade of north Idaho. Yesterdays
tracklaying is probably evidence
that the company realizes this fact.
