The Garden Spot of America.

The opening of the line of the
Northern Pacific railway into Lewis
ton, Idaho within the next week, will
bring that city and the country sur
rounding it into the prominence they
have long deserved. Lewiston is sit
uated in valley of surprising rich
ness, with climate of unusual quail
ity. These have made it the center
of one of the most productive regions
of America. The hills protect it from
cold an storms and lend their influence
to make the valley the garden spot of
the Pacific northwest. The rich soil,
abundance of pure water and splendid
vegetables and bountiful harvests of
field products, and it will not be long,
with the new and admirable railroad
facilities now enjoyed, before the
Lewiston Valley will become conspic-
uous as one of the best places on earth
for the Industrious farmer to estab-
lish home.
For the past two years the resources
of the valley have been taxed to meet
the ever growing demand of local and
foreign markets, which is now aug
mented by the demand from the
Orient. The speedy settlement and
enlarged cultivation of the valley that
is sure to follow the completion of the
Northern Pacific railway, will give it
a prominent part in supplying the
worlds demand for fruits and bread
stuffs. A little to the southeast and
reached by way Of Lewiston, lies the
rich Nez Perez reservation which was
recently opened to settlement with it's
thousands of acres of rich farming
lands waiting for the industrious far
mer to convert them into profita BILE
farms or fruit ranches. The city of
Lewiston, population 1000, even with
out railway facilities, has long been
regarded as most delightful spot for
IA residence and now must surely be-
come the objective point of many a
tourist and homeseeker.

One of the Grandest Ever Held in the
County,-Special Excursion.
The annual fair of the st. Louis
County Agricultural society will be
held in Duluth Sept, 1914, Is and 16,
Extraordinary efforts are being made
for this years fair and in point of dis
plays. races and general attractions it
promises to be the greatest exhibition
the county has had, The liberal
system of premiums which has been
adopted promises to bring a fine dis
play of products and the resources of
the northeastern portion of the state
will be set forth as they have never
been before.
The week of the fair will be one of
great interest to the entire northeast
ern part of the stote because it will
also mark the opening of the Fosston
branch of the Great Northern railway
During all of that week the Great
Northern road will run excursions
from North Dakota and the Red
River valley to Duluth.
Without horse races no fair can be
success and extraordinary induce
ments nave been made to bring
fast string sof horses here this year
The purses hung aggregate $500.
The business men of Duluth have
guaranteed one purse of $500. The
entries for the races closed Saturday
| night and the result was very crafty
ing. Some of the fastest horses in
the West will be here.
One of the special attractions Sc
cured is William G. III. Hoetfier, cham
pion trick bicyclist of the world One
of his acts is to ride down a ladder
sixty feet long from the grand stand
to the track.
The premiums offered this year ag-
gregate $500. The agricular exhibit
will get $3.50 and it will be divided I'M
der the percentage system, the same
that is followed at the state fair I'm
der this system every exhibitor will
get something. The farmer who
makes the largest display gets the
most money.
These are but few of the attract
ions to be offered during the fair.
The management intends that it shall
be the greatest event in the history
of Northeastern Minnesota.
The range railroads will run an ex-
cursion one day during the fair, leav-
ing the ranges in the morning and re-
turning at night and will make a
round trip rate of $3.50.

THE PIONEER.
oliver Company Takes Possession and
WOrI, Resumes.

VOrE Assumes.
The Oliver Mining company Mon
day morning took possession Of the
Pioneer mine. The work Of remov-
ing the water from the shaft will be
commenced DIS soon as possible. The
Pioneer is so situated that it drains
the water from the surrounding
mines, and since the pumps were pull
led last winter the shaft has filled
nearly to the top. The water will be
taken out of the shaft with a large
bailer made of an old boiler open at
one end. AS soon as the first level is
dry the pumps will be put in and the
work will proceed.
The Pioneer, as soon as it is in
shape for mining operations, will en-
ploy about $50 men. 1t is probable
that another shaft will be sunk on
the other side of the property at
once, for with one shaft it will be a
physical imposibility to take ut5oO,-
600 tons of ore d year, the minimum
output provided for under the terms
of the lease. 1t is not likely that any
ore will be shipped from the mine this
year. All that is taken out will un-
doubtedly be placed on the stockpile
TO be in readiness for prompt move
ment on the opening of navigation
next spring.
About twenty-five men where taken

charge of the Pioneer for the new
company.

AT the close of 1893 the company
had paid in dividends the sum of
2,745, 900, and had accumulated a sur
plus of S2,9oo,o 700, since which time it
has devoted its surplus to the con-
struction of ships and railroads and
in the requirement of mines and
lands. This year it has paid 1896, 900
in dividends and expects to pay as
much more before the close of the
year, making a, return to the stock
holders of 6 per cent. No other min
ing and shipping concern in the world
approaches it in extent of operations,
and only the Calumet & Hecla in
size of its 1898 dividends. This COM
pany is known in all the lake regions
for the wisdom of it's management,
due in no small part to the fact that
there is non-interference with individ-
ual and direct management on the
scene of operations on the part of nom
resident boards, for the altruistic care
it takes of its employees, and for the
thorough and perfect manner in
which it equips it's mines and work

The American crush"

In the discussion of the proposition to

precipitated locally by the disaster on the
Capital Railway line and elsewhere by the
Introduction of mo seat no fare" ordi-
nances, much is said by the opponents of
the plan about the uselessness of undertake
ing 1t on the score that the American tenn
permanent will not adjust itself to such a
restriction This is false position, and it
is to be suspected that 1t is fostered by the
corporations, which are strongly urged by
their greed to maintain minimum of SER
vice in accommodating maximum of pa
tronage. When 1t is pointed out that the
mo seat no fare" rule is enforced in Paris
and other cities of Europe 1t is answered
that. while this may be all very we'll
abroad. it would never do here, where the
populace is given to rushing is content
with crowding and is not disposed to wait
for eonveniences at the sacrifice of a few

Divided Spanish Opinion.

Senior De LONE and the pro-spanish

Senior De LONE thinks that the split be-

The latest advices from Madrid give the
grounds upon which the advocates there

that the United States has now reached
the parting of the ways. War was un-

expressly disclaimed. The taking and

the United States Is therefore absolutely

England. Great Service.

The good feeling existing in this country
toward England will be materially in
creased by the revelation made in the July
number of the London National Review re-
specting England's action at the outset OF
our war with Spain In preventing a Euro
pean coalition against the United States
The story has for some time been current
in the form Of gossip. but the editor of the
National Review sets the seal of fact upon
it. He gives it, as he claims. upon au-
thority.
The story is that Europe conceived the
intention of making a European question
of Cuba. She was. In effect, to take Spain 5
side and order the United States to keep
hands off. France made the move, and
was seconded by Austria. Germany when
approached approved but pointed out the
necessity of England's cooperation. When
England was approached the proposition
was promptly declined Mr.. Balfour. at
the head of the foreign office in the absence
Of Lord Salisbury. refused absolutely to
countenance it. and Sir Julian Pauucefote
at this capital was advised accordingly
That killed the proposition. Without Eng
lands aid 1t could not succeed. and Eng
lands refusal of aid was was in substance
a warning TO Europe that a combination
against the United States would result in
bringing her into the field the active

That was a service of the highest i'm

upon what would have been the position of
the United States had Europe. even with
England as a passive observer. combined
to lay down the law to this government
with respect to Cuba Such a challenge
could not have been ignored. and yet the
taking it up would have been to invite war
with a combination possessing six times
our strength on the sea, and standing
armies of thousands to our hundreds. Eng
land objected, and the scheme came to
naught
Blood is thicker than water. England sub
scribes 20 the sentiment and acts upon it,
The United States also subscribes to 1t. Of
this England need be In no sor. of doubt
1t would seem to be impossible now for
anything but friendship TO characterize the
future course of the two countries toward
each other. or anything but good to the
world to flow from their closer union and
cooperation.
