opportunities for men of ex-
perience and some capital in the
several lines indicated. The local
market this being a great
distribution point for vast and
wide territory-would use the
product of every good establish
ment of moderate size.
For poultry and bees there is no
better climate. Alfalfa and fruit
trees give long season of bloom
to the bees.
Dairying with good Jerseys or
Guernseys is really much needed
here. The supply of good milk
and butter is always short.
Bountiful alfalfa makes a cheap
and rich feed the year around.
In short. the opportunities for
thrifty energetic men. in all lines

cannot be surpassed in America.

teachers there are more here now

Governor Steunenberg has been
excessive ofthe veto power since the
capital got quiet and the legislat-
ors are happy at home aud cannot
reverse him by the prerogative of
a two-thirds vote. In some of his
vetoes he perhaps displays undue
partisan zeal. The deficiency bills
became bones of contention, near
the close of the session, and the
governors gang were required to
yield to superior forces. The gang
was made to understand that un.
less this item went through that
item would share the same fate.
This question was settled by the
passage OF the appropriation bill
with amendments, but under pro-
test. The administrations pet
schemes were so dealt that the
amendment was sent forth that the
other items were accepted as po-
litical sacrifice. Now comes the
governor and with his little veto
cuts off every one of these

The Best Time to Come.

In the early spring the advant-
ages of Lewiston valley climate
over the surrouning country is
most conspicuous. In April while
winter fingers in all the northern
and middle western states to such
an extent at least as to be often
very disagreeable. In Lewiston
valley April is bright and warm.
The season is at least a month
earlier than in any other section Of
the United States OF corresponding
latitude. The intending Lewiston
valley settlers who come in April
not only saves a month Of the sea-
son, but he gains a year in the
work of BODYBUILDING and in the
growth of orchards and vineyards.
He who comes next April very
probably gains more than that.
This region is being actively de-
veloped. There is every proba-
bility of a boom here during che
summer or fall and in that even,
the price of land will be advanced
and business opportunities will be
generally appropriated. Lewiston
and Lewiston valley have neve,
experienced a boom by symptoms
as observed at this time.

The opportunities for profitable
business In Vineland and Lewiston
may be briefly summarized as fol
lows:
Fruit growing on S to 10 acr,
tracts, sufficient to support famil,
and certain to rapidly increase il
value. Many such places in Vine
land have risen in value in tive
years from $roo to $500 per acre
Gapital needed, $500 to any amount
Lumber manufacturing, t.
Htilizs the vast white pine forest.
Of the Clearwater basin. All
lumbermen who know the CON
ditions say that here is the only
proper location for the great saw
mills required. Capital needed,
SIS, 900 to $500, 900.
Flour mills, to grind the twenty
million bushels of wheat grown
within rs miles of Lewiston.
Capital needed, $40. to $Ioo,.
oes.
Wsolen mills, and securing
plants, to use the fine wool OF q
halt million sheep. Capital want

power.
Smelling works, which the rail-
roads now building make pos
sible, to smelt the ores OF the
north. of the Buffalo Hump, Sal.
men river and Seven Devils camps.
An hundred room hotel is great

the first day of opening. 1t should

vineland and Lewiston.

The big steel bridge over Snake
river. now rapidly approaching
completion, will make not only
Concord and Lewiston, but in fact
all of Vineland and Lewiston one
community. Lewiston valley, in
GLIDING all sides of the two rivers,
is only about five miles long, by
one to three miles wide. A space
hardly large enough to contain the
city that Is fast growing here.
From I,2oo to 5000 population in
four years Is fast enough for the
solid development of this COM
munity. 1t would be better for us
just now, If larger and more
Substantial buildings had been
erected in the past; but today there
are numerous roomy brick
structures In process OF construct
ion, and many dwelling houses.
Yet the demand is great, and be-
cause of the railroad and mining
development, sure to increase for q
long time to come. Rents are
high, and the opportunities for In.
vestment in buildings for rent, on
both sides of the river, are hard to
excel. A hundred dwellings, to
cost from $500 to $4,000 e,ch,
would be rented in a week.
Quite a number for rent are now
going up in Concord, and more
will follow.

One great advantage Lewiston
and Lewiston valley possesses owe,
any other point in the Northwest in
a commercial sense is the river tc
the sea. 1t is only a matter of a
few years at most till The Dalles,
the remaining obstruction, will be
removed. We will then have traf-
nc advantages of great value.
With an open river to the sea Lew.
iston will possess an advantage
enjoyed by but few commercial
centers in the world. The gateway
idea will be beautifully exempli.
fed here. We will be at the head
of an arm of the sea four hundred
miles inland. The traffic advan.
tage will make Lewiston the whole
sale center of a great district.
This condition must be recognized
by all railroad companies and large
enterprises. Every railroad mus,
make Lewiston center or endan.
ger its interests. Every large bust.
ness establishment must recognize
this advantage in determining upon
a location. A factory or a whole
sale house at any point away from
the gateway would be subject to
TRAFFIC arrangement" and could
not compete with Lewiston with
an open river. And then any es-
adjustment on any one of the in
ternal rivers will have only a sub.
division of this great region as a
field, while every mining-camp-
forming district and timber-belt
will be directly tributary by one or
the other of the many diverging
transportation lines.

The opening of large exclus-
lively wholesale house here is the
dawning of distinct commercial
era for Lewiston. The start in
this important movement has been
inaugurated by Lewiston business
men. They display a commenda-
Bile spirit. The field is soon one of
the best in the Northwest. The
freight prestige, which belongs to
us by geographical right, must
make Lewiston great supply
point.

Lewiston valley has. more water
power developed and undeveloped
than is used in any city of the
United States. The Vineland
ditch and the Sweet Water pipe
line which will be completed this
spring possess more power than is
utilized at present in Spokane.
1t is estimated that a ditch seven
miles long which would furnish
ualimited water power with a fall
OF 60 feet could be constructed for
$25. 900, could be taken out the
Clearwater at Hog island and in
