everything was going his way. We nov
know that the o. r. & N Co. will build
to Lewiston, and truce about Camas
Prairie and the reservation has been ar
ranged for time until some com
promise can be reached. What the
nature of the compromise will be no one
can prognosticate. In the meantime the
road will build to Lewiston with all
possible haste as urgent orders were sent
TO the contractors to push things, and
these orders were dated later than the
thirty day-notice in order to re assure
the men. All railroad contractors are
used to such things and are not worried.
So Lewiston now breathes easier, II
did not look for time, until the spurious
ness of the kilograms was shown up. as
though the Union Pacific had secured
control of the Oregon road and was going
to put it into the hands of a receiver in
two or three years after squeezing it dry
to make extensive improvements which
are estimated will cost twelve million
dollars. To get hold of such a splendid
ly paying road rs the o. r. & N. as some
thing tangible behind such large bond
issue would be fine thing for such
line as the Union Pacific. But there ;s
no danger now of it doing such suicidal
thing.

They Inspect Electric Light Plant

Attorney S G.. Cosgrove, mayor OF
Pomeroy, accompanied by Vim. Segriest
and T III. Benbow, two business men of
Pomeroy also city councilmen, and How
ard Cosgrove, arrived in the city Sunday.
Their visit was for the purpose of inspect
ing the electric light and power plant
here, as the municipal government of
Pomeroy in all probability will put in
plant for the lighting of their city in
the near future.
These gentlemen on Monday visited
the power site on Asotin creek, and also
conferred with officers of the Electric
Light Co. and Manager Libby of the Lew
iston Water & Power Co. regarding cleo
trio light plants.
Mayor Cosgrove, upon being interro-
gated as to how business rs in Pomeroy,
classed it as good, and says the town is
the best of its size in Eastern Washing
ton.
Speaking of the crops, he stated that
he had just finished harvesting his crop
of barley, which averaged forty five bush
els to the acre. Wheat is yielding little
below the average this season, but the
quality is good; most OF it would grade
No. l. The barley crop is up TO an aver
age yield, except brewing barley, which
falls little short.

to see company retiring voluntarily

clusively occupied for thirty years past.
1t was well known that all interviews had
been sought by the president of the
Northern Pacific. He had journcycd to
Portland to see the "other man THE 9TH

show that work is being pushed harder.

o. r. & N. Co., is new going over the

gentleman from Washington. d. c. ap-

money behind him in Lewiston National
Bank and pays cash.
This does not LOOK like a shutting
down. The reports originated in this

river were buying large quantities of
provisions and supplies in anticipation OF
a rising market. An intimation reached
them from headquarters not to be too
reckless as the annual meeting of the O.

The Rain a Blessing.

There are croakers upon all occasions.
A successful tobacco and cigar dealer in
this city once printed card of wise
sayings, the title of which was Don't be
a Knocker." But the croaker will
always exist, and there will always be
knockers. They fortunately belong to
the class easily recognized by business
men and, as was once written by a
writer of eminence, "They neither spin
nor do they weave" but remain with
tireless energy in their tongues, envy in
their hearts, no vibrating energy i'll their
brains, only for evil talk, and no
muscular energy in their arms to make
place where many men find opportuni-
ties for their energies when they come to
them and fearlessly embrace them BY
the way of a 81 mile, it might be here re-
marked that many man would never
even have wife had he not embraced
the maid at the opportune moment.
But while much of the above is peril
nent, it has little to do with the subject
of the late rains being a blessing to the
farmers and stockraisers. The croaker
and the knocker urge that the rain is
destroying the wheat, and there is dire
disaster in store for the farmer.
However, at Nezperce city, at Asotin
and Anatone different story is told by
the producer of grain and the successful
stockraiser. They do not look upon the
present deposit of moisture as in any way
discouraging. All headers state that even
though six DAYS more rain would only
tougher the heads Of the grain and pre-
vent shattering of the heads at the time
of the cutting, the threshers assert from
superior knowledge, born from actual ex-
perience. that the rain, followed by hot
sunshine, will make the straw extremely
brittle, cause plumper grain and enable
the machine to save more grain to the
acre. This is the unqualified opinion of
several men running headers and COM
bined harvesters who have had an oppor-
tunity within the past week to put the
point at issue to thorough test. They
also point to the fact that Lewiston val
ley is not without the proper number of
machines to control the harvesting of
the great crop that will, in golden grain,
be shipped to market and find its way
into many new warehouses this year, as
has been the case once or twice hereto
fore. Under the circumstances and with
greater auxiliaries, they confidently as
sert the harvest in this and Asotin county
during the fall of 1896 will show that
there will be no sprouted grain to be fed
to stock, and no grain left i'll stacks when
the harvest endc, to be carried over
through the winter till next spring to
await a threshing machine to winnow
the grain. The lowest yield yet reported
is twelve bushels to the acre; the maxi
mum thirty-siX; but there are many
fields which will show up in the 4os. 1t
is an average crop.
And the stockmen are also happy. In
the Nezperce or upon the Asotin and An
atone ranges the stockmen point TO the
fact that the growing showers of a few
days ago have already started the young
grass from the roots, and they feel conf
dent that they will ship out of the two
counties finer beef for the butchers block
than has been known for years.

THAT reminds me-" said Chicago
man in reminiscent group the other
night, relates the Inter Ocean, "of an
old story that is good enough to repeat.
Some years ago three bookmakers put
up at n Chicago hotel and handed
large package of money to the chief
clerk. They told him that they would
leave it with him every night, and were
particular in saying that it was to be
delivered only in the presence of all
three. 1t was evident, you see, that
they didn't quite trust one another.
Well, week or SO rolled around, and
one morning one of the trio came down
rather early and called for the cash.
Without thinking of the conditions of
delivery the clerk handed it over, and
the bookmaker promptly skipped. His
two partners were furious and brought
suit against the hotel for $4,000, the
amount in the bundle. A smart young
lawyer volunteered to take the defense,
which other attorneys regarded as
hopeless. When the trial came of he
waited untfl the bookmakers had sub
mitted all their evidence, and then arose
