Serious charges are preferred by
returning laborers who have been
visiting the railroad camps along
the Clearwater. They say that
men are shipped into the country
even from the east to work on the
railroad and when they arrive no
work is provided for them. The
men are landed at Juliaetta or at
Potlatch and they are told they can
find work at the camps up the
river. There camps are spread
along for IS miles along the line.
The men who are engaged to work,
after journey perhaps across the
plains are left to take their chance
upon finding vacancy in some
crew. IF they find a vacancy
they are afforded board and shelter.
II not they can find board by pay
ing IS cents a meal, and it is al
most impossible to find lodging.
There are more men than can find
work and many are compelled to
pay board for long time before a
vacancy occurs. Some of these
men returned to Spokane last
week and reported that they had
been deceived. The. employment
agencies there denied the statement
that they could not all get work.
1t is fact that only small por-
ton of those shipped in can find
employment at this time nor could
they find work at any time during
the past two months. Something
should be done to protect these
men against the frauds practiced
by employment agencies.

Lewiston has no pet schemes that
are dependent upon any one of the
interior mining camps. The man
who comes here to seek information
is much more liable to get correct
knowledge than he would be at a
small station near any one of the
camps.

The policy of the administration
wing of the legislature has no.
been at all compatible with the
economic pretentions of the gov
ernor in the past. The discerning
voter of course observed this prin-
ciple OF inconsistency in many ex-
ecutive acts even during the gov
errors first term, but Off cialism
never broke out like a political
malady till after his late admins
tration was installed with its ends
to means SO apparent in every Off
cial act. The principle Of economy
was thrown over even in the old
office. The appropriation even for
the governors Office is fixed at
figure above that of any past year,
and the request has been made for
many new officials to be appointed
by the governor each newly
created Office carrying with it big
appropriation. The governor is
evidently relying upon some other
| plan for the future. Economy
real and practical is very incon-
venient in politics. There comes
time in every politicians life
when he feels the desire for more
than the husks of economy, es-
peciaily when he wants to become
a United States senator. If Steun-
enberg could have secured the
creation of all the offices asked by
his friends and had the patronage
of these positions at his disposal
he would have had more potent
power than an empty cry of public
economy in the senatorial fight in
1901.

The railroad situation is fgur-
ing out favorable to the gatewly
plan that is most desirable for
Lewiston's prosperity. The o. X
& N. has definitely decided TO
complete the Riparia extension to
Lewiston before any definite
action is taken on the interior Elk
tension. There are many OPP
portunities for changes of the in
terror schemes. The roads to the
mines are to be of the first con-
sideration when the extensions are
definitely decided upon. The
Buffalo camp, ifpresent indications
are verified by the development OIL
the next quarter Of a year, will be
the destination of all our roads il
the summer.

The appropriation bill is the
bone of contention in Boise over
which the cutting ARRAY occurred
last Monday. This question OF
money seems to be one of life OF
death to the administration. Every
thing seems to have been sacrificed
for new offices and pay for old
positions from the beginning of
this legislature. Now that actual
blood shed has occurred the
question is brought out NOR :: fully
than before that it is a death strug-
gle for Doodle.

President Hill, of the Great
Northern, has undertaken to put a
great steamship line on the Pacific
in connection with his railroad
system. This line will extend to
China and will handle the Russian
trade which has become very i'm
portant in connecting with the
Chinese outlet. This is the first
grea move that has been inaugur-
ated III response to the demands
subsequent upon expansion. The
development of the shipping trade
of the Pacific will build up the
northwest very rapidly.

The winter just closed will
revolutionize the cattle business
in the Clearwater. The ranges
have been gradually cut down by
the advance Of the home builders
with their plows and wire fences.
The highland ranges on which all
the stock fed in the past during the
summer have all been reclaimed
by the farmers. This condition
has confined not only the cattle,
but the cayuse horse as we'll, to
winter ranges all the year. As
a result no bunch grass is left to
seed, and this alone has been the
dependency of the cattle men in
the past. This winter has caused
the heaviest losses on tire Salmon
river ranges ever experienced. The
large herds of cattle were uncon-
trolable when the deep snow came.
The extremely cold weather too
made the cattle huddle together
in the canyons, from which
they could not be driven, aud there
they died by hundreds. The day
for dependence upon range exclus-
lively had passed, if it ever was
a conservative business policy, long
before the experience of this win
ter taught the impressive lesson.
The country is capable of produc-
ing more cattle under the changed
condition than ever before. The
most productive farms in the north
west are contiguous to these ranges.
The business of growing hay for
cattle will be the most profitable
kind of farming In their isolated
districts. With the risk of winter
loss eliminated cattle can be grown
as cheaply by feeding ON farms as
by grazing on short winter ranges.
The feeding plan will improve the
stock by saving them from a season
of suffering every year. The
animal which is half starved
through the winter of every year
is smaller by rs per cent. when it
reaches the marketable age, than
the farm fed animal. The cattle
business will be revolutionized by
the dispensing of the large herds
among the ranchmen. By this sys-
the business will be greatly IN.
creased, and the quality OF the
marketable product will be greatly
improved. And the union of the
stock growing business with the
common farm interest of the
country will materially diversity
these important interests. 1t will
make both investments safe and
profitable.

James Hamilton Lewis warned
his friends in Congress last week
that the people would condemn the
party and the policy that would
interfere with the prosecution of
the Philippine war. While there
has been disposition on the part
of many individuals to obstruct the
progress of the war and the peace
measures this spirit of political
cowardice has controlled almost
every expression of party policy
or at least the actions'of the party
which has professed to oppose the
war policy Of the administration
The Democrats have clustered and
assumed threatening attitudes
when ever a war measure has been
proposed but they have figured
their votes in congress to avoid a
record against any question of
policy. The confession of James
Hamilton Lewis that the good hon
est people would repudiate any
such established policy is good
and sufficient evidence that these
votes have been controlled by the
spirit of party cowardice. The
Democrats hold persistently to the
policy of obstruction but they
studiously avoid the record of de-
feating any war measure.

A stabbing ARRAY occurred in
the legislative halls at Boise last
Monday. Two members OF the
house of representatives became
involved in a dispute and one of
the beligerents stuck a knife into
the abdomen Of his opponent. 1t
matters little what the controversy
was over, it matters less what the
result of the wound may be, the
good name of the state was sacri-
feed by the deed of ruffian. The
effect of this hand to hand fight in
legislative hall will reach to the
limits of the civilized world. Idaho
is regarded as a border baliwick OF
civilization in some sections of the
east without any just reasons il
the past. With a widely published
record of a stabbing affray in the
legislature while in session Idaho
is eternally disgraced, and til,
effects of this disgrace will be far
