estins anniversary of Memorial day that
has occurred for many years. Chairman
j. NJ. Wrestling. Of the joint memorial
committee. thus states the reasons why
II should be SO:
'On this particular Memorial day the
American people will not only commem-
crate. as heretofore, the heroic valor and
untfrfng patriotism which distinguished
the soldiers OF the Union In the dark
days of civil strife, but to Il will be
added for the first time a grateful rec
ognition OF the patriotic devotion to our
countrys service which won for our
brave soldiers and sailors by land and
by sea such brilliant victories In the re-
cent war with SPAIN and in the yet more
recent conflict with armed insurgents In
the Philippine islands. A th-eefold rea-
son. therefore. Is found for = more gen.

ately set apart TO perpetuate the men,

do honor to the soldiers and sailors OF the

The establishment of an ice plant
and cold storage house is an i'm
portant step toward building up
a manufacturing center at this
place. A fruit canning house
will be but short step from the
packing house. The location here
is very favorable for many classes
of manufactures. All kinds oil
wood merchandise could be manu-.
featured from the products of Our
forests, and paper and wooden goods
should be made here at home. As
the conditions exist at this time
even our -four aid house lumber
are manufactured abroad. The
loss to the community from this
source is very great. This waste
will distress the commercial inter-
ests in the end. We must manu-
facture the products of our valley
and all energies should be directed
to the upbuilding of home Indus.

Almost every old prospector il,

by the developments of the presen,

its, and many are the explorations
that are planned for the coming
season. There are hundreds oil
plausible stories told about lost
and concealed lodges that are to be
revealed to the public within the
present year. Many of these hon.
est old prospectors are led by illu-
sions. That they are honest in
their declaration is proven by the
fact that they will endure priva-
tons and hardships to reveal the
hidden mines. The men who know
the conditions best appreciate this
trait in the prospector. As class
the old gold hunters are the most
honest men in the world; but they
are influenced by illusions that are
common to this class of people.
The man who does not under
stand the influence of the glitter
of gold in the dreams of forty years
on the prospector' mind would be
led by glowing tales to the belief
that every creek in the northwest
flows over quartz that sparkles
with gold, and That every noun
tain is scanned with lodges as wide
and as rich as the Big Buffalo. But
these prospectors. as honest as the
day is long, are deceived by the
illusions of dreams that have
them to the facts of forty
years, in many instances. Every
district has its traditions. No man
would attempt to say they are not
based upon facts, but the very rare
,ascs in which the search for
hidden treasure succeeds does
injustice to a noble people as
lass. The prospector is as
allied because his hopes are not

The burglaiies and thefts com
mitted during the past few days
demonstrate the presence of profes.
sional crooks in our midst. This
city has been very free from the
preparation of the crimes tina,
come with the metropolitan crooks
The people of Lewiston from Sc
curity have become reckless of both
property and persons; for the
temptation to rob and steal brings
danger from personal encounter
with bad characters. 1t is toe
often the case that even life will be
sacrificed in the attempt to carry
out the desires Of robbers to pos.
sess property that is unduly ex-
posed to their depredations.

The settlement Of the reserva-
ton has temporarily cut off the
surplus of cattle for export from
the Clearwater basin. This item
of commerce still important will
now be subordinate to the
grain imports. The cattle in
dustry however shows signs of
revival under new conditions. The
homesteaders who have cut short
the ranges are giving attention to
the cattle industry. The range
cattle will soon be replaced in the
markets by ranch cattle of better
class. The farmers will SUPPLEMENT
the ranges by farm feed in winter
In a very few years the cattle Of
the Clearwater basin will become
an asset of magnitude.

The revelations resulting from
the development of the mine at
Newsome creek is of great signi6-
canoe to the mining world. The
Iron Crown lead has been account
ed blanket, but it now transpires
that the ore deposit Is great por.
phyry dixie bearing free gold in
high values. A similar formation
at Elk, which has been overlooked
by prospectors, has been found re-
Gently to be rich auriferous rock.
These fluids are as significant as
the Buffalo discovery which re.
vealed gold in a formation that was
supposed to be sterile. That rev.
citation opened a new realm for
prospectors. These base ores had
been run over for years, as have
the dikes like the Iron Crown and
the Silver Reef deposits. The
prospector who goes forth this
year can look Tor the base quartz
and porphyry dikes which he has
passed over in the past without a
thought of values. The hiding
place Of the gold ground into
p,acers in the rich Clearwater basin,
not yet found has been a mys.
terry for forty years. The discov-
cries of this year solves the rid
die In regard to Florence and
Elk. One camp was made from
the base lodges and the other from
the decomposed bikes.

The fact that the Northern Pa
cific has definitely decided to build
the Lapwai spur is positive proof
that the fight between the two
roads Is still on. If there was no
danger from competition this road
would not build fifteen miles to
accommodate the farmers. The pol
icy of all roads is not to build into
district the products of which
can be commanded without build
ing. Only the tear Of competition
will ever force a railroad up Lap
wal or out into the reservation
wheat districts, or the camas
Prairie country. This basin has
had ten years Of traffic agreement,
and il wants no more.

The pioneers who have honest n
the Lewiston valley, and have said
good, patriotic words in praise OF
our climate are pitable indeed.
The weather has abused every ira
dition, given the lie to every
pioneer and driven the real estate
man out Of the country as pen
atty of righteous indignation ON
the part Of dissatisfied tenderfoot
investors. The newspaper man is
not exempt from embarrassment.
If there is no way to enjoin the
weather clerk, there will not be an
old-timer in the country who can
maintain reputation Tor truth and
veracity among his new neighbors.

Order First and Liberty Later.

The New York Commercial
Advertiser says:
Scarcely anything has been
ineligible in the simian chatter of
railing against the president for
his management of the Philippine
affairs, but the complaint that he
made no attempt to come to
friendly understanding with the
people Of the island OF Luzon. The
Schurinan commission was sent
out for no other purpose than this,
but the purpose could not he ac-
complished or even undertaken
until the city of Manila was re.
lieved from the hourly menace Of
fire and pillage, and enough of the
adjacent country reduced to order
to afford breathing space for the
establishment Of the forms of
civilized society and civil govern
ment.
This work is going on now, and
the work Of negotiation with the
people Of the island, to endeavor
to lay the foundation of an
amicable understanding and set
tied government, in which they
shall take part as large as their
capacity allows, is going on with
It,, The Sciiurman. commission IS
deep in negotiation with the re-
spon, IDLE people of the islands so
far as they can be reached or as
anyl ody can be found 10 speak for
them, and the administration at
Washington, it appears. has
conf'ent expectation of good
results fro m this negotiation.
1t is TO ! e observed that this me-
gotia'ion Is not carried on with
Aguinaldo or any rebel in arms.
These are in Instruction, not only
against the only sovereignty in the
islands, but against all the
institutions on which civilized soci-
ETY. is founded, against order and
business, prosperity and industry.
1t is with representatives Of these
things that the Americans are ne.
gotiating, even while the repres-
sion Of Aguinaldo and his banditti
is going on. They distrust and
fear Lin more than the Spaniards;
who at least robbed them with the
courteous forms of taxation. Il is
out of these elements, after they
have been collected and organized,
that the future government Of the
islands is to be organized. But
the first step is the complete sup.
preston Of instruction.

Members OF the United State

Members of the United States
senate are free to assert that Quay
Of Pennsylvania who has been ap-
pointed by the governor will be
seated. This assertion that q
notorious corruptionist will be
seated in the face Of precedent is
very significant. 1t has been
established as rule that an APP
pointee of governor was not
eligible to fill vacancy that oc-
Cured by the expiration OF a
regular term after the Legislature
Of the state had failed to elect.
The seating of a notorious
character like Quay would have a
far reaching influence with the
people. 1t would be a potent
influence in the movement to elect
senator's by popular vote.

VineIand Management

Prof A. B. Leckenby, an expert of

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 in 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 in
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, but 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 we'll as the
company, and are found to work we'll
in practice. ~ -.
