With all the other opportunities
present at this time a railroad up
Snake river to the mines should be
considered in accordance to the
importance and feasibility OF the
enterprise. a railroad along the
Snake river is one enterprise that
Is sure to come in the near future.
Tho company which secure this
road will hold an important KEY
to the commercial interests of the
Inland Empire. An open river
from this city to the sea will make
this section of railroad all the more
valuable. The Lewiston CONNER.
Cial club should find this enter
prise grand field in which to ex.
plot It's energy. 1t would surely
be an easy matter to enlist capital
Ill scheme to secure the control
OF right-of-way that will be o.
untold value to the railroad worlC
in the near future. The whole
northwest now thro0s with a de.
mand for improved transportation
facilities. The mines of the Sever
Devils demand an outlet. The
only practical transportation rout,
is down the Snake river. A,
strange as it may seem this only
natural outlet is neglected. OtheI
routes are being are being appro
prlated just because other com
munltleS are more enterprisinE
than Lewiston. We are losing
geographical advantage by mex
cusable neglect. By due energy
Lewiston could promote a schem,
that would secure a railroad dowr
the Snake from the Seven Devil
within a year.

The governor S organ in this
city makes personal matter of
every campaign issue that is pre-
scented against the state admins
tration. When the bungling work
of the state land board and the
other many shortcomings, weak
nesses and political crimes of the
state administration are designated,
regretfully pointed out, this paper
shrinks from the requirements OF
partisan journalism, the duties for
which it was doubtless created, for
which it exists, if there IS or ever
was an excuse for its presence i'll
our MIDST. 1t shriuks from open dis
cusslon of state politics and sulks
and scolds and whines and spits
out epithe;s instead of argument
when the state government is criti-
Cised. If the governors admins
tration has aught to commend il
to the favorable consideration OF
the voters ii is the mission of the
governor 5 organ to make specih-
cation and to elucidate the appiica-
ton of the specific acts, to the
affairs of the people and to explain
away the seemingly hurtful effects
of plumbers, negligence and ex-
travagance to promote partisan
ends. An honest excuse for the
pine land losses would give health
, full vigor 10 the campaign from {
business standpoint; and defense
of the exIravagant expenditure o
the land board appropriation anc
the deficiency bills that have beer
piled up against the state on be
half of the public institution
would please the people. Any
defense just now would take bette
than the whine of a dyspeptic.

When Senator Teller was in
Lewiston he presented the subject
OF an open river to the sea, not in
a new light it is true, but he gave
it the new force ofrecognition from
a public man of national repula-
ton, and from the standpoint of a
statesman not personally interested
in the great public enterprise of
vital local Importance. That
notice seemed TO enlarge the scope
of the subject. AT least it has one
supporter even beyond the Rockies.
Locally the subject has bounded
into new life. From Portland 10
the Rockies the subject has been
rehearsed in every newspaper and
i'll every public gathering for the
past two months, 1t is an old
subject but it is full of new interest
every time it is reiterated. An
open river means more to Lewis
ton if possible than to any other
section of the country. An open
river makes Lewiston terminal
point and a distributing point;
commercial center for the largest
and the richest district that is
equally and exclusively dependent
upon any city in the United States.

The reception given to Governor
Steunenberg on his arrival in the
city last week was not of a nature
that would warm the blood in his
veins. The democrats of Nez

the iob5ery of the state convention,

town il is OH their busy day.

1t has been nearly a month now
since the state conventions, and
not prominent fusion paper in
the state has made any vigorous
stand for the ticket. 1t is no won

necessary to slip around over the
state TO grease the wheels.

Mr H. F.. GoldthWaitr. of Iowa. one toWnsites in Alaska has been in onl' town for the past few days awaiting he arrival of his ueoociale Mr. r.. D. >trat- ford, of Oregon, who is expected down from Sitka on the Cottage City. Mr. Goldthwaite is Il very pleasant man to meet but is very reserved in talking ford comes they will at once proceed to business and decide whether a new sur- ycv is necessary or not. and at he same time they will decide on some compc- tant person to recommend as Trustee for the townsite. They have twelve townsites in Alaska to look after.
 No doubt there will be a nuuhrr of applicant, for the office of Trustee and we hope the lucky one will be chosen for his fitness and not for his ''pul.' IL k an office that require, d man of good business ability and sound judgement and we have few such men in ourcity whose names We trust will be mentioned to the Examiners. As a rule, the men best fitted for such an office are rescrv- ed and unless their friends bring them out. some chronic office seeker will step in and pick the plum.
 In regard to the survey. opinion is di- yided. Some want d rc-survcy and some are willing to take the present survey. While we do not think the present survey is perfect. We are of the opinion that the majority of the proper ty holders are willing to have il accept ed as it stands. and We would like to see d mass meeting called to get the senti- ment of the property holders. they are are the ones who have paid and who will have to pay again if a new survey is made.
