will hold public meeting next
Monday night. The program is a
warrant of a profitable entertain
ment. This club has a field of re-
ceptive soil in which to SOW good
seed. In the past this club has
not been able to rise above selfish
influences, but the membership
should be so extended that the
club would be the Lewiston public
This meeting is to be a rally. A
full attendance will give the club
new life. The occasion is ripe
for rally. This city needs most

must be done that can be done no
other way than through such an
organization. Turn out and make
the Lewiston club a Lewiston club.

public improvement. The law
makers should of course invest
such measure with safeguards
against public abuse of the fran
chise granted. Upon the other
hand the measure is one of such
importance that it should be passed
without delay. Every timber state
in the Union has such measures
for the promotion of this great in
terest. 1t is question of vital in
terest to Lewiston, az Potlatch, Elk
creek, Orc Fine, Lolo, North Fork,
Middle Fork and South Fork, ali

ment which such measure would
promote. Without such a measure
a million of commerce may sleep

Richard Croker, the Tammany
boss, in an interview last week
said: "The IS to question is
dead issue. This was proven con-
clusively by the expression of the
will Of the people in 1896, when
they elected Mr.. Mckinley presi-
dent Of the United States. Now
the democrats of the west and
other sections of the country are
trying to foist this dead issue upon
the democratic party and to make
the old dead cry of I6 to the
democratic slogan in 1900. Why
should we carry a dead weight in
that campaign? The times of four
years ago are past. Today the
times are different and the issues
not the same. Speaking for this
section Of the country, I say that
If the is to question is again
brought before the peop'e there
will be felt ag,in throughout the
nation the same distrust that pre-
vailed in 1896. If the silver ques.
ton comes again before the people
and is made factor in the national
platform the moneyed men of the
east will look for investment out
side Of this country and the banks
in other states in the Union will be
unable to borrow money in the
east The result will be that the
poor will be the greatest sufferers.
The free silver issue is merely
local issue. In the sections where
tree silver will benefit the resident,
1t is but natural for them to declare
for rs to /. However, in my
opinion. the money question should
Oe settled by congress. But here
In New York, we must see to it
that the position of our party on
the money question must meet the
requirements, not OF any one sec
tion, but of every section of the
United States. When in conven-
ton assembled the majority OF the
delegates demand certain
standard or a certain reform, New
York will, as she has, fall fully in
line without moments hesitation
or murmur of protest. But the
democratic platform of 1900 has
not yet been written.

The question of river improve
ment is before the Legislature.
There seems to be opposition to
the measure from certain quarters.
The public at the same time is no,
we'll informed about the purport Of
the measure. The object of the
bill is laudible one, the improve.
ment of our waterways. The pro.
visions of the bill have not been
published but the principle is NOT
new. The rivers which tap the
timber reserves must OF necessity
be opened by private investment.
The plan is to enable the com pany
or individual who expends large
sum of money to tax the outlay
up against the timber products Of
The region made available thereby,
and to collect the tax in the way
oil toll against the traffic of the
stream. An instance might be
,ited In Elk creek. On this stream
which can be made available for
ioating logs by a comparatively
mall outlay there are 900, 900. 600
eet of timber. Any probable i'm
'rovemcnt company could not hope
o control even large percent of
his stumpage. 1t is equitable
hat all the timber in there should

The fruit interests are attracting
wide attention as this great coun-
try develops. The farmers in the
Potlatch have made commendable
progress in this industry. The
apples and pears of the Potlatch
have a reputation for superior
qualities that should fill the grow
ers with pride and with confidence
of future profits. The prune-
gro wers have not found satisfac.
tory markets for their surplus.
1t is not to be presumed that any
one district can EXCEL in the pro-
duction of all varieties of fruits.
The prune market is subject to
competition that reduces profits to
a minimum under favorable condi-
tions. and the prunes of the mild,
moist climate Of the coast countries
seem TO be the very best in the
market. 1t is therefore evident
that the fruit-growers of the
higher lands should grow some
thing that offers wider markets
and larger margins Of profit. The
apple is the king OF fruits and the
district that will produce good
winter apples is the most salisfac-
tory fruit district in the world.
Winter apples are as staple as
wheat and as certain of value as
any farm product that is grown.
Next to big red apples are pears.
Either is as profitable as oranges,
and an orchard that will bear sure
crops is worth more in the Pot.
latch, on the reservation. or in
any one OF dozen districts that
encircle this city, than an orange
grove in the tropics.

The Northern Pacific has
designs upon the Seven Devils
mining district. A road is pro-
iected not only into the Seven
Devils. but on down the Weiser to
the Snake river basin and across the
corner Of Oregon to California.
That road would be great feeder
as it would traverse a vast country
Of varied resources. 1t would make

A Chance for HOmeSeekerS.

The extension of the railroads
to the middle fork of the Clear
water will open up a new country
of great extent and wonderful
wealth. There is plateau be-
tween the rugged canyons of the
Lolo and the Middle Fork 40 miles
wide and 40 miles long, that is
practica lily unsettled.
In area this terra incognito is
fully equal to Camas or Nezperce
prairie, and the climate and soil
are not to be desparagingly COM
pared with the Palouse, the reser-
walton, or Camas prairie. There
are vast natural meadows, rolling
benches and fine timber belts in
tersperced on an economic basis
and watered with living springs.
The elevation is not 200 feet above
the Palouse plateaus, and the
climate is not any more harsh than
that of Nez Perez prairie.
This region has been inaccessible
In the past. 1t is known only to
the hunters The elk and deer
have roamed at will on these glades
and slept undisturbed in the
shelter and sunshine of the breaks
in the past. The stockmen have
utilized the water courses for COM
mon ranges. but the flats and
ridges have never known the pillow.
Perhaps a dozen families antici.
pated the railroad stimulus and
climbed the COW trails last year TO
build homes on Lolo prairie.
The fear of deep SHOWS in win
ter, and summer frosts have re-
tarded the development of this re-
gion, but the experience of this
winter dispells this fear. The
chinook winds have a highway up
the Salmon river across Camas
prairie, and the Bitter Roots eddy
The warm breezes of winter on
Lolo prairie till the rotary friction
takes off the snow there first of all
the elevated regions in the Clear
water basin.
The wonders of the Clearwater
basin have only been partially re |
vealed with all that has been told |
IF our wealth. When all area
bigger than the richest county in
he world lies open for the settle
nent eff thousand homesteaders |,
m broad acres on which the gov
rnment surveyors have not yet
rod what might we not expect to
md in this favored region.
