About Street Surveys.

The vexed question of street surveys in
the city of Lewiston is prominently be-
fore the public, as it has been every time
the council has employed new CITY en-
gineer in the past ten years. The gentle
man who holds that Office at present
evidently believes his position before the
council at the last meeting requires
argument to satisfy the public. The
question involved which interests the
public is the purchase of private pre- perty
for public use. There are private in
terests also involved which are ieopar.
died by the report OF this city engineer
which requires sophistry to make it &C
ceptable to the public.
| The city engineer, in a communication
to the press, cites the maxim that monu
inents govern distance. If this be true
why does he submit maps of uninport
ant streets, based upon measurement
made from old fences and fence.po
rather than hunt for monuments Th,
public is i'll danger Of serious loss from
palpable error in his report, i'll which
the maxim Of measurements from monu
ments is disregarded; and fence which
has been or may have been moved sew
eral times since the city was plated !:
designated as an initial point, when tn,
monuments could be found ,by due dill
gence and little labor. CITIZEN.

One way to Beat a HOldup.

A corps of n. ?. Surveyors i'll charge of
d. r. Lathrop ran up against the busi-
ness end of Winchester Tuesday last
and took tangent at that point of the
proposed curve direct TO a point in the
hills out of sight aud rafge of the angry
farmer at the other end of the gun.
Samuel Holenbeck, reservation
farmer living about five miles southwest
from Fletcher, is the man who headed
off the proposed extension of the Lapwai
branch last Tuesday. He claims that he
is patient and long suffering but that the
limit has been reached. Seven lines
have been surveyed across his land this
summer. TUESDAY a new crew swooped
down on his choicest wheat field and be-
gan to trample down wide swath OF
choice grain. He asked them to give
him two days to get il cut and shocked
out of their way and on their refusal TO
stop he proceeded to the house and re-
turned with additional emphafis in the
shape Of Winchester. The crew de.
parted on an air line for Nez Perce not
taking into consideration the question OF
grades. The engineer i'll charge, J.. X.
IIathrop, went before Justice Crawford
| and swore out warrant for the arrest of
MIR. Holenbeck. Constable Burt Warren
made the arrest and the case was hearn
"Wednesday at Nez Perce. That is, il
was set for hearing, but while the farmer
was waiting impatiently for his trial at
Nezperce anxious to have it over that he
could return 10 his harvest, the surveyor
and crew were back at the Holenbeek
ranch running the line from the point OF
interruption.

Developing the Imnaha District.

] +. Johnesse, c. H. Baker and Newton
Hibbs returned from the Imnaha mining
district Friday. They report material
progress in the development of the camp
during the past two weeks. The Eastern
company which holds the bond on the
Delta group has a force of about 20 men
engaged in the prosecution Of develop
ment work. The camp is in a fair way to
be thoroughly and rapidly developed.
-Four or FIVE drifts to tap the veins at
great depth have been started. The ledges
in every instance have improved with
depth.
The camp is already a canvas town.
Regular miners are quartered in tents on
the bonded grounds, and every nook
along the river and creeks is occupied by
prospectors' tents. The blasts of rock
workers echo through the canyons CON
ltinuously. The rugged district that was
a silent catacomb of canyons till two
months ago is now ringing with the noise
of business and teeming with life like
the streets OF busy city.
| Many rich strikes have been made on
the Snake and Salmon rivers very re-
Gently. Many rich mining companies
have representatives in the district trying
to purchase prospects. Norman x Cam
eron of Spokane have secured valuable
interests, and they with others will estab

tions; "The Tribune would like to ask
the city authorities why they permit
open gambling in certain saloons and
gaming rooms in Wallace and prohibit il
in others9 Gambling is no credit to any
community, but if tolerated at all should
be permitted without discrimination. In
some places in Wallace all the popular
forms OF gambling are run without oppo

A RedsMan's Vision.

Centuries ako an old, crippled,
gray-haired Indian told his tribe that
in vision Of the night he had been
lifted high above earth and in great
wonder saw asvast spider web spread
over the landSfrom the Atlantic to
the setting sun. It's network was
made of metal rods; along it's lines in
all directionsrushed monstrous spi-
ders, greaterSsin strength and larger
far than any beast Of the earth,
dragging after them long rows of
wigwams with families therein, out
stripping in their course the flight of
birds that fed before them. The red
men hid themselves in fear or fed
away while the white mon trained
these monsters for the war path as
warriors for battle. The old man
who saw this yisioa claimed that the
Indian would pass away before the
palefaced stran ker. We now see the
vision realized n the network of rail-
roads and moestrous engines with
cars attached is they go sweeping
through the find. Wild life has dis
appeared frqh the United States, the
great cyclo9b of civilization rolled
west and aWallowed up the small
wave of frfntier life; the. cowboy has
taken to t he plough and the Indian
