TIE question of expansion ha.
come home to the people of Ne7
Perce county. A large area Of
Shoshone county asks to be an.
nexed to this county. The dis.
trict in question is very rich in
natura resources. The piue tim.
Der belt of Elk creek and the North
Fork are in this mo mans land. "
The mines of Pierce are another
important factor to be considered
with this question. The railro ads
are all heading for these districts
and their development will be very
rapid. The taxable property in
that end OF Shoshone county is now
an unimportant item. The ap-
portionate rating under the consti-
tuition will not impose a burden
upon this county, for the rapid de-
ve!opment under the stimulous of
railroads, lumber interests, and
mines will soon make the values
there relatively very high. The
real issue back Of this division is
whether it will bring about a
division Of this county inthe near
future, and the establishment of a
new county on the upper Clear
water. This is a remote proba.
bility and it is a contradictory pro-
position to come from one who
now opposes the union on account
OF the poverty of the district in
volved in this issue. 1t is not a
logical objection. The building
up of the interests of that region
will build up Lewiston. The mines
of Pierce and the timber interests
along the rivers will be brought
very intimately into commercial
citations with this city by the rail-
Dad and the waterways. Lewis.

The example of Omaha shout

The example of Omaha should
be held up before the real estate
owners Of Lewiston. In that
modern city the want of enterprise
made the very center OF the city
the shack town." The original
owners thought they had a cinch
and they would not sell or improve
their property. The more liberal
spirited citizens built good build
ings on outside" property and
the business went with the enter.
prise. The dead cinch" corner
lots are now the white Chapel"
Of Omaha. 1t takes good build
ings, as well as good location to
hold the business of a great city
to any particular center.

Another bridge is to span Snak.

Another bridge is to span Snake
river from the city limits. The
Northern Pacific railroad company
will build from the point a bridge
that will cost $500, 900 within the
present year. The o. r. & N.
will al,o bridge the Clearwater
either with free wagon and street
car bridge or a railroad bridge.
The expenditure of the construc-
tion is an important item to this
city. The bridges will make one
city of the whole Lewiston valley.
The railroads and the river traffic
and the manufacture of timber and
lumber products will fill every foot
of this valley with prosperous
homes before the close of this
dying century.

and connections that would be
mutually beneficial. The Burling.
ton has had surveyors in the Bit
ter Roots during the past fall and
present winter, and the general be-
lief is, they are seeking connection
with the o. R. & N. in the Clear
water basin. The extension OF
railroads up the Clearwater river
greatly reduces the distance
for the Burlington, and this fact
will surely hasten the consumation
of the plans that have long been
contemplated for securing a
through line and at the same time
secure the traffic of a rich country.
The 0. r. & N. has never secured
satisfactory arrangements for
handling the fruit of Snake river
and Walla Walla. A traffic ar
rangement with the Burlington
would be an ideal one in this re-
gard.

The commissioners in drawing

accept the ladies'. This will be
good news to the general class Of

the most disagreeable of all the
sacrifices the citizen is called upon

ladies should regard this exemption
as an act Of chivalry.

If we are to be informed by the
reports from Boise the Idaho legis.
lature continues to suspend the
constitution of the state whenever
it interferes with their ideas of ex.
pediency. They have not yet
openly attacked the constitution OF
the United States, but if it should
get in the way Of fusion law. max.
ing it will be trampled down, but
the journal of the body inflicting
the indignity will simply be made
TO conceal the act of violence.
This suspension business has a
unique position in parliamentary
usage in Idaho. The fee bill de-
cis:on is the guide and precedent
for form even in the records
Of law making. The law makers
now follow the fee bill decision
and suspend every rule or law from
the ten commandments down to
the legislative rules to suit the
of each succeeding
day. Idaho will never be held up
as Sunday school example OF
ruth, for the journals Of the house
md senate are deliberately falsi6ed,
he truth being sacrificed for form.
rhe Idaho law makers will surely |
,ecome notorious as the suspendeis
Il everything in sight. l

Three groups will figure in the require

papers of the applicants will receive They
will be knowledge, professional training
and experience and personalities.

the only qualification demanded for good
teacher. 1t has it's great Importance, but
other qualities also count for much Elk

go for a great deal and will have their
weight with the committee. Then there

and the surest demonstration of that fact
may be found in the papers they submit.
