In speaking of the establish
ment of the DAILY Press the
Vinelander says: at is safe
to predict that Grangeville
will soon take a front seat
among the progressive towns
of Northern Idaho. Where
the people of a town are pub.
lie spirited and awake to their
opportunities, that town is
bound to thrive and forge
ahead of more favorably stu.
ated but less enterprising com.
munities. Inject skim milk
into town as a steady diet
and at the expiration of the
treatment you will have devel.
oPed a runt that is an eyesore
and a reproach to everyone
connected with it."

The Birth of the Greater
New York.

With the dawn of the new year the
Greater" New York is ushered into the
world full grown giant. The problem
of municipal government is to be put to
the supreme test. Within its limits is
contained a population equal to that of
thirteen OF our sovereign States at our
last census. and as numerous as that of
the original thirteen States. Provision
for the life and health of this vast multi
tude of all nations and chimes IS an un-
solved enigma. Thousands of stuff rers
in New York and elsewhere are wres-
tied from the grasp of that agonizing
complaint, rheumatism. by the timely
use OF Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which is preventative of malaria and
kidney complaint, and curative of
liver complaint. constipation and ner-
vousness.

Northern Pacific Extension.
T. A. Clark, formerly of the
Union Pacific surveying corps
and recently appointed to a
similar position on the North
ern Pacific and placedin charge
OF a surveying party on the
Grangeville extension of that
road, before assuming the
duties said:
81 have no objection to tell.
ing you what l believe to be
the plans of the Northern Pa.
cifc and the projected route
OF the survey | am now about
to undertake. From Lewis.
ton the route will run up the
Clearwater ways, thence
across the reservation and
Camas Prairie to Grangeville,
the mining metropolis of Idaho
county. From Grangeville
the line will go to Little Sal
mon, thence up Little Salmon
to ldaho's great copper camp,
the Seven Devils, thence across
the divide to Weiser river,
and down this river to where
it empties into Snake river.
From this point it is more
than likely the road will push
on across the Snake, through
the fertile valleys of South
Oregon into California and on
to Sacramento.
This route is entirely feas-
ible and if Engineer Clark is
correct in his beliefs as to the
route and ultimate destination
of the extention of this great
railroad which is now being
undertaken and which is caus.
ing SO much excitement in
railroad circles, then Idaho
county, the richest and most
resourceful district in Idaho
will soon be pouring its great
wealth of products into the
money marts of the world and
in SO doing adding materially
to the wealth of the Northern
Pacific system.
That the railroad will be
built and completed as far as
Grangeville this season there
is not room for the shadow of
a doubt
1t is needless here to speak
of the wonderfully productive
soil of Camas Prairie, of the
vast acres of grazing lands of
the Salmon river country,
how from Mineral to the great
Buffalo Hump district, quartz
and placer diggings abound.
Mines that, though situated
many days from a railroad,
are yet shipping thousands of
dollars in precious ores yearly. |
That with the Northern Pa |
cific running on one side of the
Seven Devils and the O. r. &
n. company's main line on the
other, thus furnishing ample
facilities for transportation,
the richest and greatest copper
camp in the world will have
its dreams realized, and the
worlds necessities relieved by
a greater supply of this most
useful metal, But it IS not
alone mineral wealth that will
be so stimulated and developed.
Forests of pine timber along
the route, by their availability
no small item in the cost of
will also be a
permanent addition to the
states yearly products, and to

on Disarmament Plans.
The Russian proposals for standstil
of armament have been submitted to q
subcommittee Of the peace conference al
The Hague. This move was all that saved
them from immediate rejection. TheiI
eventual rejection is sure.
Col. Gross Won Schwatzhoff of the Ger
nan delegation made speech against the
disarmament scheme which is the sensa
ton of the conference so far. In reply
to the Cars plea for disarmament or
the ground that a maintenance of large
armaments is crushing the nations, he
said that Germany was not being ruined
and her wealth, contentedness and stand
ard Of life w.re daily increasing. He
said further hat reduction Of peace
forces was cniy one small step toward q
reduction of offensive power.
Length Of military service, development
of railway, enabling rapid mobilization
and economical conditions were all fac
tors in nations military strength. He
concluded by saying with amazing frank
ness that to only consider the non-in
crease of ornaments and leave out al
these other factors might seem plausi

to military expert it was so manifestIy
absurd that he wondered it could eyel
