The Huntington Extension.

The steamer Almota made a trip
to Il e mouth of Grande Ronde
river last Thursday. Engineer
Bethel with a crew of assistants
were aboard. The object of the
voyage was to distribute surveying
crews along Snake river.
This move is in connection with
the extension of the O. R. & N.
system to a connection with the
Oregon Short line. That section
of road has received great deal of
attention in railroad circles in the
immt date past. The Seven Dew
lis mining district has developed
wealth that warrants railroad con-
struc,ion to that point from the
south, and that division completes
half the cutoff that has long pos
sessed merit as connecting link
of two great systems of transpor-
tation lines.
1t is now believed by many that
the next road to reach Lewiston
will I've the Snake river cut off.

is feared that the Legislature has
so interviewer this power with the
remainder of the powers that if it
is held that this cannot be done.
The whole law will have to fall
1t certainly is better 10 have the
question settled as soon as possible
and the officers have done proper
and right in presenting the
questions without delay. Some of
the officers will be benefited if the
law is valid and the salaries are
fixed at the maximum which in
large and growing counties is be
ing done and some would probably
not receive as much as under the
fee system 50 that it cannot be
said that any officer has anything
personal in presenting the question
to the courts. 1t is the duty of a
CONSCIENTIOUS officer to protect his
constituents by preventing trouble
about to be brought on if possible.

The railroad construction gro

The railroad construction grows
more intense while the "Three
Great Men" are in New York.
Surveying parties are chasing each
other through the passes that may
be utilized along the Clearwater,
Snake, Grande Ronde and Salmon
rivers. This policy of grabbing
rights Of way for the purpose Of
obstruction does not become great

Great Men, Less energy expend.

struction would please the people

Senator Mcbride, of Oregon,
has been before the departments
in Washington urging the pur-
chase of complete right of way
for The Dalles boat railway. 1t is
held to be necessary to secure this
right of way before an appropria-
ton for constr uction can be secured
from the government under the
rules that prevail in such cases.
1t is hopeful to observe even this
little opportune effort. The ex-
banding commercial interests of
the interior are generating a force
that will compel the removal of the
distractions from this great water
way. 1t is significant that sen.
ator should busy himself with the
matter when congress is not in ses-
sion. In this is evidence of official
earnastness. The power of the
monopolies have been opposed to
the interests of the people In the
past. In the news that Senator
Mcbride is urging the cause of the
people is hopeful sign of pro-
gress.

Every boat and freight t

Every boat and freight train
brings lumber from the sound
markets to this city. The excess
of price over the cost of produc-
ton that would have been saved
to the Lewiston mill men of this
lumber, shipped into this city dur
ing the past three years, could
have been manufactured at home,
would have built up the largest
mill enterprises in the northwest
at this point. This loss of profit
has been an extravagant waste to
this community.

The governor made pretensions
of investigating the pine land
question while in Lewiston. He
did nothing however to protect the
states interests. He admitted the
loss of 1000 acres by the blunder-
ing policy of his administration
and he perpetuated the blunder by
failure to complete the title by
refiling under the rights that
attach by virtue of an application
to refile made year ago. The
state is in fair way to lose a
thousand acres more by failure
to complete title. While the land
board is celebrating on course to
pursue the preferred rights of the
state may lapse again.

The farmers in the west
generally, and in the Lewiston
valley particularly, seem to disre-
gard the small accessories of bust
ness success. Great enterprises
received due attention, while the
small enterprises are neglected.
Business success depends very Of
ten upon these minor auxj'a les.
The farmer hopes to gain a compe-
tency from au exceptional yield
and high price in single year
from his broad fields. The pro-
ducts of the garden, orchard, dairy
stock yards, separate items, count
slowly, are seemingly trifling
auxiallries of the great enterprises.
This condition is an exclusively
western characteristic. 1t is the
opposite of Yankee stinginess,
which is held to be a despicable
trait on general principles by the
average western man. The oppo.
site extreme is wastefulness, if
not extravaganza. This disregard
of small helps in connection with
the greater incomes from the farm
especially, often changes the bal.
ance at the end of the year from
profit to loss.

A great deal of energy is wasted
in the effort to divert the mining
trade from Lewiston. The interior
towns secure their supplies by
freight teams over bad roads at
great expense for freight. The
prospector or miner can transport
his supplies when the time comes
for him to go into the mountains
over good roads cheaper than the
traders have done the same work.
BY buying here, too, the profits of
the small traders is saved to the
consumer. Lewiston has all the
advantages of a wholesale center
in the handling of miners and pros
pectors' supplies

Vineland Management,

Prof. A. B. Leckenby an expert of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture; visited Vineland the other
day, Prof Reckenby had four years
experience as chief advisor and irri-
CATION expert to the great Kern
County Land company of California,
and has spent many years i'll study
of colony work on irrigated lands.
1t is therefore of great interest to
know that he endorses the methods
of the management as being the
best he has seen in vogue i'll
any similar enterprise, and worthy
of emulation by managers of other
companies, The policy of the Vine
land company is to encourage and
assist the thrifty settler in all proper
ways, not with money, Dut with easy
payments for the lands, furnishing
employment for surplus labor, and
especially in giving each settler the
benefit Of years of study and exper-
fence in irrigation farming, and home
building, while never interfering
with a mans independence in thought
and action. Careful restrictions in
the contracts and deeds mutually pro-
tect all of the settlers, as well as the
company, and are found to work well
i'll practice.

district court. ........."........,-"S 432 SIS
Fees collected as auditor and

From this total Auditor Stookey
pays his clerks and himself, and
turns into the treasury $II.75.
This is saving over the aver
age quarters of the past year OF
over S465.
When Auditor Stookey asked
for the votes of the citizens of Nez
Perez county he promised to save
81 900 annually to the taxpayers.
He has saved nearly half of that
sum by the showing at hand. The
work Of the Office has increased, it
is true. This increase has made
an extra clerk very necessary.
which has also made additional
expense, which has been paid out
of the fees exclusively.
