The Clearwater basin has been
watched with solicitious eyes by
the promoters Of railroads i'll the
Northwest for many years and dur
ing all that time the people worried
aud wondered over their seeming
neglect. The men who hold the
des,inics Of this district in their
hands were all the time fearful of
the result of the clash Of Interests
which is manifest in the present
struggle for territorial advantages.
The traffic of this district was
known during the period of sus-
pense to be rich prize and each
of several systems was scheniing to
capture the field by some strategic
move. But like the flow OF a river
restrained temporarily it was only
a matter of time till the accumu-
lating wealth would burst the OBJ
structions. The Clearwater basin
could not be held back any longer.
Like the food OF river the COM
u,ercial demands have now burst
the barriers and the food will flow

quate penalty which could be I'M
posed by a primary court the crime
could be more effectively re-
strained. The existing statutes
are largely in operatiev from the
very fact of the severity of the PEN
a!ties imposed and from the fact
that courts of jurisdiction are far
removed from the people chiefly
interested. If simple processes OF
detection and trial could be pro-
vided this serious merace OF the
peace of many communities could
be effectively controlled. Under
existing regulations of the depart
ment Of justice there is no provision
for an effective constabulary to
meet the exigencies of the case.

Some practical pavement ex-
periments were undertaken by the
city council in Main street last
spring. 1t would now be in order
to gather expert evidence Of the
results. Sections of this street
were paved with gravel. These
short sections are tests only OF the
strength and durability of the ma
terial used. The mud is natural
condition of the wear OF street
traffic. 1t is present in proportion
to the life of every city. The first
requisite of this city is base for a
durable road bed, then will come
drainage aud practical means OF
disposition of the mud accumla-
ton. Every city is called upon to
meet these conditions. The wear
of a year Of traffic would make an
insufferable slush on granite
pavement ii the slush could not be
removed. The cement gravel on
the streets of this city forms a
roadbed as hard as granite. 1.-THE
requisite contour can be attained
and drainage can be provided Lew
iston will have streets as nearly
perfect as can be found anywhere.
The test to b e applied 10 determine
the value of the paving material
used in the experiments of last
summer is simply test of capacity
for maintaining the weight Q;
horses and wagons and Of dura-
bility. That these qualities are
demonstrated seems apparent &c
the casual observer. If this pave.

There are too many pessiulists in
the world. 1t is quite too common
for man to look at the dark side of
life, to see the spots on the sun,
the stouey places iii the fertile
field, and to remember only the
cold or squally days of all the year
that is more than half fair. The
chronic kicker is found in the Lew.
iston valley. While the snow laps
over the rimrock mile away while
the billiards. rage in the middle
West and destructive storms rage
in the East the chronic kicker
bowls about the mud or the wind
or the frost in the Lewiston valley.
While the winter that blights all
! life reigus relentlessly all around,
the sun warns the grass to green
growth aud the birds to sweet
songs in the Lewiston valley. All
nature rejoices, while only man
sulks and grumbles these glorious
days away. This man would
rather exist amid the biting freeze
or the blizzard blasts Of the north
than to live III the smiling Lewis
! ton valley, that man would rather
have snow than mud. 1t is any
thing for a complaint with the
chronic kicker. The ordinary man
loags for the conditions of his
youthful better days when life was
buoyant even in adversely. Kick
ing Is the resort of the man who
suffers physical degeneracy. He
longs for the vanished joys Of youth
His youthful days were his hap
pies. days. Because Lewiston val
ley sunshine does not warm Sthe
sordid hearts of every disappointed
advepturer the kicker is ever
present in our midst. The condition
; which causes complaint about ou'
climate is the same that makes g
man believe the sour seeding
apples i'll his grandfathers orchard
were better than the fine pippin:
of the Lewiston valley, that makes
; him think the sour grapes tina
, grew wild in the old wood lot wer'
were sweeter than our muscats anC
/, Hamburgs. The old man neve
sees another woman as pretty a

The contrsband whiskey traffic

is a problem Of local importance
which presents peculiar phases.
The laws OF state and nation pro-
hibit the sale Of Intoxicating drinks

government in the sense of re-
stricted citizenship. Perhaps no
statute OF Jurisprudence is sup
ported by more unanimous senti-

One of the highest endorsement

One of the highest endorsements
of the claim of the Lewiston valley
for distinction is the statement
from Prof. II. L. Van Danen former
pomologist Of the government that
the fruits from this section were
the very best at the Omaha fair.
Prof. Van Damen is the best au-
thority on this subject. The
chronic kickers often sheer at the
Lewiston valley fruit The claim
BY an humble citizen that it ranks
with any in the world is often
ridiculed. There is, however,
hardly a we'll informed man to be
found who will put his Judgment
up against Prof. Van Dainen on a
general comparison. This latest
high endorsement is a coroboration
Of the statement made by the
pomologist of the present admins
tra,ion This disting uished gen.
tleman visited Lewiston valley in
October. He said our fruits were
the best in the world. He sug-
gested the idea. that the govern
ment would take an active interest
in experiments in this valley as
soon as the fact OF oar special
| features Of soil and climate could
be recognized through Official
source. He believed the govern
ment would want to carry OIL ex'
tensive gardens and orchards here
under official supervision. He
said direct results could be attained
here that would cost millions undel
more unfavorable conditions
These statements from world wide
authorities give special value K
the fruit lands Of the Lewiston val
ley. The best in the worldi Dix
you ever pause to consider wha
that condition means. The hes
little valley in the world for tn
production of f1uis specialties. |
means thousands of dollars 70
acres OF Lewiston valley frnit lands
Fruit growing is the highest orde
Of farming. The best fruit Xix,
The best wine is above price. Th'
finest box OF fruit in the market o
any city would he worth its weigh
in gold. Il would only be peces
sary to establish the fact that Lew
iston valley fruit possessed quail
ties given it by Prof. Van Damei
all undisputed authority to max
every acre of orchard in the vale,
worth Eve Thousand dollars.

The question Of free homes for

Of the greatest local interest. No

the suspense Is in'o'Ierab!e. The

: BY the prosecution Of the war
with Spain. and the triumphant
treats Of peace the administration
won The unqualified appreciation
of the American people The &C
QUESTION of territrry was a natural
condition of the events that pre-
ceded the war andstlhe victories Of
our army and naqy. Nothing less
than the freedoms lNSila and The
retention OF Puerto Rico apd the
Philippines would have satisfied
the pubic. These events have
made the Mckinley administration
very popullr. The feeble voices
of ceusure have been drowned by
applause. The exuberance of
PATRIOTS M permitted no close
scrutiny OF methods or future
probabilities. 1t was easy going
with the popular tide while the en-
thusiasm Of success prevailed; but
now the time has come for wise
craftsmanship. The time for the
application of the cold science of
government Is at hand. The con-
| troll of colonies is in the first place
not compatible with the funda-
mental principles of our govern
ment; but the colonies have come
to us not as the result of deliberate
policy, they are ours as the result
of a condition thrust upon this
republic. The colonies ere ours
and by the edict of public sentiment
we must retain them and the other
conditions follow. We must govern
them. Humanity demands at Our
hands the civilization of Our island
possessions. We must secure for
them constitutional liberty, we
must provide a broad commercial
policy, a financial system and edit
cational facilities. All of this calls
for radical departure from the
policies that have been regarded
the fixed principles of republican,
ism. To successfully meet pressing
demands the presen. administra
ton, which has risen and now
stands at the height Of popular
esteem, mist exercise the wises,
possible craftsmanship, An emer-
gency exists, a cricis is imminent
The statesman of the day who sue
cessfully meets the issues will be a
hero Of history. Can Mckinley
rise to this occasion? II SO another
star will adoru the galaxy @
