Vineland of which the post
office is Concord, Wash.) is enjoy
ing wonderful yet fully deserved
prosperity. Dozens and scores of
new houses, on the two to five acre
tracts, are constantly in course of
erection, and they are mostly very
neat and pretty cottages, costing
all the way from $500 to $4,000.
Yet the worst winter weather in
the sheltered valley is SO mild that
many of the new settlers live com.
fortably in tents and light shacks
while they are building their house.
A large proportion of Vinelanders
are ranchers, wheat growers cattle
men, from the high lands of the
surrounding country who seek the
valley for homes and the good
schools there in thu warm and
pleasant valley in the midst of
profitable orchards and garens,
while keeping and working their
bill ranches.
The handsome brick, stone and
wood school houses just completed
at a cost of $4,500, has three large
rooms, with about $50 pupils now
in attendance.

The Buffalo Hump, and its con-
tinuation on the Salmon river are,
no doubt, the richest finds ever
made in any country, and the inter
est that they are awakening will
soon be world wide. The vast riches
of the Klondike are eclipsed, as
these deposits. are vast mountains
of storehouses of ofgolden riches, and
then there are no hampers like those
that clog the way to the fields OF
the Klondike, such as long and
stormy sea voyage, intense cold,
bleak and inhospitable at every step.
Here we have high state of civil
cation, and all 1t implies, just at
the door of these great and grand
storehouses of wealth. No angry
floods to cross, no long and danger
GUS journeys, no thoughts of per-
ishing by famine, but plenty of food
a mild and equable climate and
transportation facilities such as
will make the way easily accessa-
pie, Sucn is Inc conQltlOn or affairs
today, in Idaho county. How do
they compare with the much vaunt-
ed Klondike?
The N. P. road to the Prairie
will be by the Lapwai spur to Pine
City past Cold Springs west of
Mason Butte south of Cottonwood
down toward Keuterville and over
the south side of the Prairie to
Grangeville. The public will be
safe in estimating upon this pro
gram.

The coming Of the railroad on
Camas Prairie means the dawning
of a new era for this the richest part
of Idaho. The outside world is Just
beginning to learn a very little of
the immense recources of this won-
derfully prolific region. Prolific, not
only in agriculture products, stock
and timber. but gold, copper and
other valuable minerals.
The gold lodges Of Idaho county
are, no doubt, the richest of any in
the world, today, the late discover
les, are SO great and carry SO much
gold per ton of ore that already fab
ulous prices have been offered and
rejected. The only drawback to the
rapid development Of these golden
discoveries, is the lack of adequate
transportation facilities.
To meet this want, which has
long been felt by the entire region,
the ever progressive O. r. & n.
railway company are pushing a
survey right into the heart of this
exceptionally favored country.
Among other blessings that the
Great Spirit gave his children, In
dians) was that of providing against
starvation, in case of failure of
planted crops, by causing, the nu-
tritious Camas to grow in such lux
uriance as it does in this the fam
Gus Camas Prairie. This dubious
plant "Camassia" from North
American Indian quamish, the
name Of the plant.
A genus Of plants, order Liliaceae,
the bulb Camassia esculenta are
eaten by the Indians. This plant
would tide over an otherwise starva-
tion period between crops, or from
the failure of the same.
Thus you see a bountiful provi-
dence has showered every rich bless
ing upon this region, which will,
adown the corridors of time be noted
in story and song.

1t is now generally conceded that
the route of the O. r. & N. to Cam
as prairie will be by the Little
Canyon Fork of Big Canyon.
1t is on this line that the energies
are now concentrated.
George Simon and family will
move to town about January first:
They have secured S. j. Peterson's
house for the present, until Mr..
Simon can build on his lots next to
H. Taylor's residence.
The lines of railroad laid out for
constructiin in the Northwest dur
the coming year amount to 1000
miles. Of this distance 500 miles
have been contracted within 4he
past month, and other contracts
will follow as fast as the location
work is completed.
The @. r. & N. company, it is
predicted, will establish a depot
on the north side of Clearwater, and
extend their road up the river and
on to the prairie before crossing to
the Lewiston side. The Lewiston
bridge will be part of the Snake
river exten sion to follow.
Geo. Erb went to the interior this
morning with sealed orders from
the o. R.& N. Company. He is en-
gagged for three weeks and his bust
ness is to secure rights-of way for
the company. He will receive in

to whom he will report at some
point on Camas prairie. .---Lewiston

That evening, a. she walked slowly
from stromnesB, II seemed to Day -
II all the fair earth and sky had grown
dark and clouded for her.
She turned a sharp corner, which led
over steep "brae" to the road for
Crag Castle. As she did so she start
cd, a sharp physical pain shot through
her heart. For there, standing very
close together on the road, evidently
in deep and earnest conversation, ware
the two people she was thinking
about--Lillth Stuart and Evan Mon
teithl They did not see her-their
backs were towards her; but even m
she looked Day saw Miss Stuart sud
denly lay her hand on Montelth's arm,
and lift her face to his with an ex-
preston which Day could not see, but
which she could guess.
She hurried on, feeling ~ II she
could not get beyond reach, beyond
sight of them, fast enough, ut is all
at an end" she said to herself He
could not have loved me. He was only
playing with me, oh, II Is hardl Why
did he ever Gomez My life was so
peaceful and happy before. l was
quite content with the love | had
Magnus' and Bells, and even Ola's,
and that Of the poor people whom
loved In return. And now II is all
ended Things can never be the same
again-never! neverW
A quick step rang on the dry sum
mer road behind her Day heard II,
and knew whose II was; and the blood
rushed from her face to her heart.
In few minutes he was by her side
and had taken her hand In his.
II saw you as was coming up Bell
Brae on my way to the hotel, and VEN
tured to run after you" he said, tone
Of eagerness In his voice, 1T seems
such time since | saw you last, and
yet II 10 only week. Do you know
where have been all that timer
Days white lips framed the word
mo" but II was almost too low for
him to hear It; yet her heart had
bounded. He had been away some
where, thenl AT least he had not been
near her all that long week, and yet
never troubled to come to see herl
II have been to London and back
again. A good long distance from this
land of nightless summer, Is 1t not?"
he said, almost gaily, Business took
me there, and business has brought
me back again; but think, even II
had had no business, should have
come"
Then the thought darted into Days
mind that he had gone to see Lilith
Stuart before he had even thought Of
her; and again bitter, miserable jeal-
ousy, which will find lodging in the
gentlest and most tender heart crept
over her.
"Have you missed me at all, Day?"
Monteith asked, after q long pause,
during which he waited In vain for
Day to speak. He asked the question
almost In a whisper,
Days heart melted, then she hard
ened 1t again. How she loved him! So
much that even as he spoke, her heart
was at his feet, But for the sake Of
her own woman's pride she must crush
that feeling down, and not allow Lii
it'll Stuart's lover to think he could
firt with her for q summer days
amusement.
II wondered a little what had become
of you" she said, trying hard to steady
her voice and speak calmly and indif-
ferently. II thought you might have
called to see us Tiff you were leaving
Orkney; but had no right to expect
It, Of course; we were almost stran-
gers to each other" !
