led with Mckinley and Wheeler by
nominating George Dewey for presi-

sounds little visionary and doubtless
is not meant in sober earnestness. but
the fact remains that the democrats
will have TO strike master stroke to
beat Mckinley in 1900. He will be the
republican nominee as sure as the con-
vention will meet that year and unless
he make very many mistakes and fails
to steer clear of the breakers that now
appear in the distance, he will as sure
ly be elected. No one deplores the
prospect more than we, and no one is
more anxious to see the calamity avert
ed than we are. The democrats must get
together on some common ground and
avert the threatened disaster OF their
hopes or we shall have four moro years

and lead us out Of the wilderness to
full and lasting victory.

called, "the clock has struck" the
change has come.
The extension of the Northern Pa
ciflc's Palouse branch to
Lewiston. and the.further extensions,
the present season, from Lewiston
up Lapwai Creek and up the Clear
water River into the heart of the old
Nez Perce reservation are working
wonders. And along with this era
% railway expansion, comes the
wonderful discovery of gold in the
Buffalo Hump country. Here, where
forty years ago the placer mines
yielded 500, ,0OO,0 ,000, so the author
tiles tell us, now are discovered the
most stupcndous quartz lodges ever
known between Florence and Elk City
Grangeville and the Salmon River,
the probabilities are that Klondike
will be outdone.
Then too, the farmer and ranch
man has his chance. Between Lew
iston and the Hump lies fruit and
grain region famous around Idaho.
The Cold Springs and Camas Prairie
lands can't be beat. As fruit and
grain country this region beats Cali
fornia, and now that new mining
camps furnish good and nearby mar
kets and transportation facilities are
so much improved, the farmer will
find these acres to be as rich mines
OF gold 70 him as the quartz ledges
are to the miner. So everybody has
chance here, to make a good turn.

Tho very many friends of Mrs.

ionship, The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. Parks
from the Baptist church in Wood
ward on Tuesday afternoon; and

manner her life has ever been an
inspiration TO those near her and
the beautiful promise of the here
after has been exemplified and the
world made better by her having
lived among us. Peace and rest.
