tackled by the supreme court but
the work of all the legislatures ex-
cept the first session has been all
"shot to pieces" and especially
the work of the last assembly is a
populistic tumble. This is an era

infections ignorance, all along the
line from Kansas to Idaho. The
courts have been like governors on
the political engines that have
saved the commonwealth from self
destruction. The people have de-
manded reconstruction. The logi-
cal work OF the next legislature is
more that of a code commission

is crying need of wise revision of
our laws, and we will be fortunate
if the work ends with reconstruc.

The chief hindrance to the pro-
gress of the Lewiston valley is the
shortage Of farm products in the
local market. The supply of
poultry preducts, dairy products.

growth of he city demands and

This condition should promote
farm interets and especially mixed
farming for which this valley is
eminently lifted. A review of the
con itions would lead to the belief
that the lool products of a mixed
system of faming would reach the
limit of any possible demand, but
the history,f the past is convinc-
inglproof ofthe contrary. Lewis.

Official Sanitation.

Lewiston is surely entering upon
a period of progress that will bring
boom conditions. The crowding
together of all classes of peoples
without regard to sanitation will
threaten the public health. There
will be a rapid accumulation of
disease breeding filth in the quar-
tiers, that for the first time, have
afforded shelter for large numbers
of people, because there can be no
adequate facilities for sewerage.
Under these conditions we may
expect the ravages of malaria and
typhoid fever.
The health of the city should be
a prime object of official solicita.
ton. Health is first and above all
other questions of public concern
Conservatism and economy are
crimes when even risks of epidemic
are the balancing considerations
The health of the public is in off
cial keeping in this or any Other
crowded city.
Malaria and typhoid fevers are
comfortable. They are the penal
ties for the violation of sanitary
laws. One Of the blessings O
science, one of the blessings O
civilization is the means of stayins
the ravages of these diseases
Science has eradicated malaria an6
typhoid from cities in districts thai
evolved the germs of such diseases
from natural conditions. The
Lewiston valley is naturally the
most healthful district in the
United States. The atmosphere
is less humid than in any district
outside of the arid deserts and the
soil is natural absorbant. The
alkaloids of the soil are antidotes o.
the disease that nature imposes as
penalties for the violation of the
hygiene. Our ma tural:heri'
lance OF healthful conditions has
only to be observed to proven,
malaria, typhoi fever and othe,
kindred ma'adi to be dreaded al
this time of transition from a state
Of nature to the condition of requi

Gateway to an Empire.

Lewiston has assumed great i'm
portauce in riilroad circles. BY an

roads which haze conflicting inter-
ests in the Nfthwest Lewiston

common consent the great systems
were to melt on even ground, at
Lewiston. TIL Union and the
0. R. & N AGREED to build a down
grade road to Portland and the
N. P. with alli@ forces agreed to
give the oregol road an eastern
outlet over the clearwater pass to
the markets II Montana and the
middle west. pis compact was
Termed on Oct I'd last. Accord
ing to the latest information the
agreement to- esiblish the gate
way is still In flee. Some con-
flict, however, h developed in
the mutual efforts establish feed
ers for this consolidated system.
The farms and the mines of the
Clearwater basin became bones of
contention. Each of the roads are
now fighting for the right to build
feeders into this district. The
gateway contract has not been
violated.
The terms of this agreement
will make Lev ston an important
division, it Il bring machine
shops here. Il ill attract agents
and employees OF the road and
make Lewiston an important rail-
road center. 1t will bring feeders
from every direction to the gate
way. 1t will build up important
business enterprises by affording
facilities for reaching the outward
trading points.

Free transportation to the Clear.
water basin is afforded to all men
who express desire to perform
labor on the railroad extension.
This condition will food Lewiston
with the classes which hunt work
as profession, but which will not
work. The city government will
be called upon to meet an
emergency eminating from this
combination of circumstances be-
fore the winter terminates. Already
the evidence of the demand for
more complete police restraint of
various kinds of lawlessness is
here and there apparent. The only
sure method of contending success
fully with the criminal element
that threatens invasion at this
time is to route the enemy before
it is fortified. The present mem.
bers of the inadequate police force
understand the demands Of their
department of the city government
1t they could be backed up with
authority and be encouraged with
achievements they could relieve
the public of the danger from an
influx of tramps and worse class
that may be legally designated
and disposed of as Migrants. The
council should broaden the scope
of the "vag" ordinance, increase
the police force and arm the off
GERS with the utmost limit of au
thority. At least the ferry boat:
should be chartered as a police
regulation for free daily excursions,
tickets good for one way only.

The question of an open river
should be urged with renewed
at this time of railroad de-
velopment' The influence of this
question will extend to the rail
roads. No system can afford to
over look the gateway plan of
traffic that has recently been out
lined. The open river transport
alton system will force the gate
way to a consummation. No
rail way scheme in the interior of
the Clearwater basin would be COM
plete that did not make Lewiston
a centra point for distribution,
If this phase of the question were
over Looked the opening of the
river would be forced thereby and
that cosunmation would enforce an
immediate reorganization of any
transportation system that disre-
gard the natural advantages of
this point Therefore the efforts
at this time to promote the water
system should be redoubled
With the gateway system inauger-
ated we will need the open river
and with this open river we can
compel the rail roads to regard
our demands.

ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.
Blanco Was Frenzied When He Heard
of Cervera's Defeat.

Key West, July 5.-According to ad-
vices from Havana received here today,
Goyernor-General Blanco attempted to
commit suicide when he learned be-
yond doubt that Admiral Celve1a's
squadron had been annihilated. The
earlier misleading dispatches, which
gave the impression here that Cervera
had eluded the American fleet, caused
the greatest joy in Havana, but when
the truth became known, with meager
details, showing the utter destruction
of Cervera's squadron, all gaieties were
stopped and every public and many pri.
vate buildings were hung with crepe
and other black draperies.
Blanco was in the palace when the
intelligence reached him, and he be-
came almost frenzied. He was closeted
with his staff and General Arolas, of
the Spanish forces, discussing the news,
when he made the attempt on his life.
After struggle he was subdued and
disarmed, but the shock was go severe
that he was prostrated and com PEELED
to keep to his bed for several days.
When he arose his first order was to
prohibit any. food supplies leaving
Havana for interior towns, where the
distress is most severe and where many
are starving daily.
This and other information was
brought by Jose Pauline Blanco, who
Indignantly repudiated suggestion of
kinship with the governor-general. He
says he is loyal Cuban, and escaped
to avoid the necessity of fighting
against his cause, as every male in the
island who is able to bear arms is being
pressed into service. Blanco says the
living conditions in Havana are con-
stantly growing worse, the greatest dis
tress necessarily falling on the Cubans,
as nearly all the food is seized for the
troops.
The reconcentrados who have suffi-
cient influence with the dispensing
authorities sometimes contrive to get
one wretched meal day, but the others
starve, and it is no uncommon thing,
Blanco says, to see persons drop dead
In the streets. Even among the Span
iards starvation is rapidly sapping their
loyalty, and large numbers of men are
banding themselves together, awaiting
the first American attack on Havana as
signal for revolt The grocery and
provision stores are empty.
Work on the defenses continue with
ceaseless vigor. Two lines of cable
bearing torpedoes have been strung
across the harbor from the city side to
Moro castle, and the same has been
done in the bay of Mariel, where it was
reported American troops are to bt
landed.
The Spanish ships now in the harbol
are the gunboats Conde Venadito, Mar
quise de la Ensenada. Neuva Espana
Filipinas and Nunez Pinzon, several Of
which are unfit for service.
