The biggest crop ever harvested

The biggest crop ever harvested
in the Lewiston valley is almost
ready for the market. The yield
has not been as big as the lux
uriant growth of plant promised
but the golden grain in bags makes
a magnificent total. In many in
stances big farms have turned
out over 80 bushels to the acre.
With a crop of this magnitude and
a iair price in prospect this valley
i, rich farming district. In many
instances we'll improved farms will
return to the owners more than
the cash value of the land on
which the crop grew. There are
farmers in the vicinity of Lewiston
who will realize comfortable for

The completion of the railroad
to Lewiston inaugurated new
social and business conditions. |
The gu estion of the real advantage
of this modern facility to progress
has been controverted by business
men OF Lewiston in this year of
1898. The advantage of commerce
to be gained by improved trans
portation should be apparent to
every business man but such is
not the fact if one may Judge by
the actions and expressions of
some of our citizens. There are,
however, classes of business men
who cannot rise above the smallest
affairs OF life. The man who does
not rise to the above conditions is
not benefited by the progress of
society or by commercial develop
ment. Like the drone in the busy
bee hive the man of small ideas
and small ways floats dead in the
eddy of progress when he has filled
his narrow place in the upbuild-
ing of the town to the Importance
of the city. These men are to be
discarded in the upbuilding of
Lewiston as they have been in the
rise of every other community.
There was a time when the pack
train was necessity and the man
who owned the beasts of burden
and the man who fed them were
important factors in the business
community. These men passed
up or were left behind by the pri-
mary advance steps, other men
took the place of the laggard and
filled the ranks of the workers.
Step by step Lewiston has ad-
vanced to the Importance of city.
The greatest height attainable
under past conditions was reached.
By freighting with wagons and by
feeding the freighters and their
teams and by retailing to the small
circle of citizens at our gates we
grew apace, but that growth was
limited and the limit was reached.
Some men cannot see beyond til c
possibilities of these conditions
and they predict loss to Lewiston
by the improvement for travel and
traffic. These men may noe be
able to rise to the new social and
financial conditions that nov con
front us. They may repine while
bewsiling the loss of the pack
mule, the freight wagon and the
stage coach, but as they pass like
the drones of the bee hive wher
their day is past workers with
higher aspirations will fill the
ranks and Lewiston will progress
to a higher place in social anG
commercial world. Villages anC
towns are built up sometime:
without modern facilities but cities
are not. To make a city at the
junction of these two great river,
something more than a feed sta.
, ton on freight and stage lines
were necessary. 1t was necessary
to first build up great interior tc
build up city. The freight lines
and stage lines could not build UP

in the Clearwater basin. Every
one of these will be tributary ts
Lewiston as Lewiston has beer
tributary to some other metropolis
, Let those who fear the effects c,
railroads move on into the interior
and give place to the business ner
with higher ambitions and the
men who can keep pace with the
: age of progress.

CRIMES OF COOLIES.

They are a queer crowd, these coolies.
whether on land or sea, says the Lud-
gate Magazine. Cunning as foxes and
cowardly as wolves, they resemble the
pariah dogs Of their own cities in point
of inability TO hunt any prey save in
packs. 1 heard of an instance where
n gang of them, employed as navvies
in the cutting OF railway, killed their
overseer with shovels and fed into the
bush. Nobody was ever hanged for the
crime, because some 40 of them were in
it-and that would have been rather n
large consignment TO condemn, even
in the far east, where human life is so
cheap.
There are 250,0O0 Chinese in Bang

ones cordial emotions-very much the
contrary. And should this catch the
eye of any intending visitor to the far

wisdom of venturing TO spend a night

a revolver to defend himself with Oc-

tion that the mineral wealth Of the
Arctic regions may ultimately lead "a
the establishment OF a large population
in those parts of the world nearest the
north pole, which have hitherto beca

pitable climate. An ingenious philos1
pher has outlined the theory that TIE
precious metals of the world win be-

fed the gold and silver were concen
