Oh angling the Map

Chief Engineer McHcnry and
assistant chief, Mr.. Bjehler, of Ia
coma, have been here the past few
days making thorough ex-
animation Of the present survey.
They returned to Lewiston Satur-
day Afternoon. In an interview
they stated that owing To great ex-
pense and diitl,u lt engineering at
Red Rock canyon they concluded
to make q personal inspection and
they have as a result made some
changes in the grade at these
points and have sent Mr.. Russell
and his party down there to make
the necessary changes. He en-.
/ phasized the fact that this branch
would be constructed at once, but
owing to heavy work in the can
yon it would nor be completed for
at least six months, and that active
work will be prosecuted this win
ter. In reply to a question as to a
possible compromise Of the rail
roads now contending for this field
he said that he did not believe it
but both roads would undoubtedly
build, as the country was big
enough aud prolific enough for
three or four roads. He said the
whole geography of this country
would be changed inside of year.
A preliminary survey will be made
up Three Mile creek this coming
week by Engineer Nu,ting, and
this route, if practical, may
eventually result in its adoption
and the Abandonment of the Cot
tonwood route.
The above from the Grangeville
Free Press very forcibly illustrates
the momen,ous movements going
on III railway circles in this state,
1t requires bus little thought TO
realize the great underlying import
to Il is states future. Truly, the
geography of Idaho is to be
changed. Two years from TODAY
and IL will not be necessary to leave
the states borders to ride between
north aud south Idaho. With the

new lines crossing Camas prairie,

Lewiston up the Clearwater I'd on

mystic ious riches, south Idaho peo
pie can come to Weiser, whirl up

which sparkle along the line of

The old colonial and historic town Of
Halifax on the Roanoke river is begin
ming to arouse itself. 1t has been in
decay for a half century. The new
town has succeeded the old town that
lay near the river but has disappear
ed. 1t is now preparing to use the best
means and activities for resuscitation
and rehabilitating. 1t will soon have
both cotton and wooden mills. We are
partial to Halifax having lived there
some years and at two different times,
and have some sad memories associated
with our last Identification with it.
May the old once famous town grow
and flourish once more.
In the twenties and thirties it had a
large trade. 1t prospered more than
any town in Eastern Carolina save per-
haps Edenton. 1t had trade with Sec
tons down the Roanoke for one hun
dred miles. 1t had in 1926 twelve
1ourishing torres. The old court house,
the old residences, the many ware
houses IN the large river, have long
ago fallen into decay and hardly the
cites are known now. The only old
things almost that remains is the COL
1onial church and the grave yard. The
new town lies farther from the Roam

The Messenger is in receipt of some
copies Of the Official Records of the
Union and Confederate Navies in the
war Oh the north upon the south. But
the Washington authorities prefer
to fix the stigma Of reproach by
calling it the records of the Gen.
federates in the war Of rebellion"
There was never a bigger lie than that
and it is inspired by the falsehood
of nate that blinds and gangrenes. The
records are valuable, if misnamed.
They do give the official reports of both
sides-those waging an unrighteous
war and those fighting for second in
dependence. This publication is a con-
g~ressional one. 1t has nothing 10 do
with the records sent out by the con-
gress. People err in this and write 10
wrong office. The superintendent is
who belonged to the Confederate navy
rebels" He follows the very a exam
pie of ignorant and vindictive men who
set the example twenty years ago when
the government began to publish the
army records of both sides, and thought
they could blind the world and wither
truth by calling the brave men Of the
south rebels. This was a brutal and
contemplate fling and as false as in
sulting. Let US use again some well
worn lines that contain a needed truth
that should be remembered:
Rebel or patriot? Well, heads or
tailsi
Define the terms, and this is how it
reads:
A rebel is-a patriot who fails:
A natriot is-a rebel who succeeds"
1t is time after all its intense gush-
ing and frantic furore over a "re-
united country''-much of which is un-
adulterated humbug and deception
that this standing lie that the south
was in rebellion had its final rest. 70
quote Francis Bacon: 1T is time that
there were an end and surcease made
of this immodest and deformed man
ner of writing" Truth is truth, and
lis mighty and will prevail" Washing
ton was a rebel and so was the north.
But Robert e. Lee was no rebel and
never was the south in rebellion. The
fool who cannot distinguish here is to
be pitied. But We suppose this try
ing to insult and damn the south with
explosives will continue until a "nobler
breed of dogs comes to the front.
Some one, we know not whom, has
written this and it will we'll supple
ment the above quotation in verse:

named.
