successful transformations OF nearly
barren tracts TO the best producing
land In the country. II 1t has been done
elsewhere under less favorable cOndi-
lions as U soil and climate, why can
not the land on this prairie be made
to produce four-fold as much as II now
produces? Imagine what such change
means for Rathdrum and the farmers
now struggling for mere existence
on the prairie. The opportunity is at
hand and IL Is only necessary for de-
termined people to grasp 1t. For many
months, at an expense Of perhaps not
less than $1,000 for each month, the
Spokane Valley Irrigation company
have been quietly prosecuting the
work OF asccrtaining the feasibility Of
irrigating the prairie, with the result
that they are now prepared TO prove
10 the most skeptical that 1t can be
done and can show that the sources of
water supply are practically inexhaus-
tible. Thus far they have asked no
encouragement and promised nothing.
They are now In u position to show
what can be done and wish to know
what share Of the burden the land
owners Will take upon themselves to
be given an opportunity TO irrigate
their crops. This course upon the
part OF the company shows honesty OF
purpose, and It's president, Mr.. Corbin,
the largest and most successful pro-
moter In the northwest, has never
been known 10 DE engaged In anything
which was not fair and honorable. In
view OF what the company have done
and the manner In which the work has
been prosecuted and the scheme
brought TO Its present state OF perfec-
ton the least that could be done by
the business men OF Rathdrum Is to
take up the matter with the farmers,
thus relieving the company OF. this
part OF their task, and II the commit
tee at Wednesday evenings meeting
feel the Importance Of their mission,
which the Republican has every rea-
son to believe they do, and put forth
their best efforts to secure fair and
equitable arrangement between farm
ers and the company, we confidently
expect 10 see the dirt fly on the big
as early In the spring as the weather
permits.

In his reply to the inslnuatiOns con
talned Ia the report n the grand jury
Mr.. Ryan asks: But why did they
not tel! ALI" The reason Is plain. As

report reflects upon the honor Of a
leading republican. which liz all that

lRESS ECHOES.
Example Worthy Of Emulation.

The young republicans of Lewiston,
this state, have taken step which
should be followed by young republi-
cans In every voting precinct. The
Lewiston Patriot says that some 20
young men have taken preliminary
steps towards organizing a republican
club at that place. A meeting was
held In the law Office Of Poe, Anderson
u Anderson, at which enthusiastic
speeches were made by Miles $. John
son, Ernest Mccullough, Judge Ander-
son and others. George r. Crum was
chairman of the meeting, and w. H..
Leland was secretary. The Tribune
would be pleased To learn what pro-
grcss the young republicans OF Lewis
ton are making. Just now is particu-
larry the opportune time for the or
ganization OF republican clubs. -Cald-

which the vibrations of speech could be

advised me to take the human ear as

ratus ! found that the dead man : ear
wrote down the vibrations
Il arrived at the conclusion that if
could make iron vibrate On dead

more delicate which would cause those
vibrations to he heard and understood
l thought if l placed a delicate piece of
steel over an electric magnet 1 could
get a vibration. and thus the telephone
was completed.
