The National Live Stock associ-
alton, in convention at Fort Worth,
voted favorably upon resolution
asking for United States rule au-
thorizing the leasing Of the public
domain for grazing purposes. The
Idaho delegation voted against the
measure The promoters of the
scheme were from the east and
from the districts controlled by cat
tie monopolies. This leasing
scheme is menace at this time.
The friends of the measure are
from districts where the settlers
will not be effected by the monopoly
lot the pubic ranges. The adop
ton of the proposed system will rob
many n western settler of his home
stead. 1t will starve him out.
Free range is an essential of the
western home builder. The pas
ture lands remain public, as rule,
while the purely agricultural inter
ests are being fostered and the
profits of free grass are expended
in redeeming the de ert and max
ing it productive. When the wild
grass is destroyed the formers will
have reached the stage OF wealth
wealth production. If the cattle
trust is permitted to dsplete the
ranges without building up farms
OH the public domain the plain:
will become dreary waste wheI
the grass is destroyed.

The report of Expert A. A Gu,

The report OF Expert A, A Gun.
ningham, which has been submit
ted to the county commissioners,
reveals the illegal appropriation OF
county money to individual use.
Warrants seem to have been issued
illegally. An illegal warrant may
not be fraudulent warrant. At
the same time it appears from the
face of the report. in the absence OF
explanations, that fraudulent as
we'll as illegal warrants are extant.
The report gives the history of Ger.
tain warrants that seem on the face
of them to be fraudulent. In other
words, their origin was not the re-
suit of any misconception of law.
Unless there is some Instance OF
their history that has not been
given in Mr.. Cunningham's report
they are fraudulent, and the man
or men who issued them IS guilty
Of a crime. and that crime was
probably committed in the audi.
tors Office during the administra,
tion of ex- Auditor S. o. Tannahill.
But even in this case the crime is
not necessarily fixed upon any one
individual. 1t may have been COM
mitted by one of several employees
of the Office. All that can be said
at this time Is that illegal county
warrants are found. and it is be.
lieved that the ex auditor ard his
bondsmen are responsible to the
county for the loss, as suit has been
instituted by the county attorneys
against him for the collection Of
$40, 900 said to have been illegally
appropriated during the four years
OF Mr.. Tannahiil's administration.

ing through the courts o. the state
Clark & Sweeney, it is claimed, as
owners of the majority Of the stock
in the great Tiger Poorman mine,
sold the mine to corporation, OF
which they are alleged to be the
chief stockholders. By a majority
vote they sold the minority inter.
ests practically to themselves. The
holders of the smaller interests now
allege fraud and are fighting in the
courts to have the sale set aside.

In the railroad compromise Lew
iston is recognized as a natural
commercial gateway. The plan is
now ma,ured that will place a rail-
road on every divergent water
course of our empire to bring com.
merce to this gateway. The North,
ern Pacific is extending its lines
like the four fingers of hand in
the Clearwater basin, and the O K
* N. is occupying the Grand
Ronde, Salmon, Imnaha, Wallowa
and Snake river canyons for trade
for distrihution at the Lewiston
gateway.
Lewiston teller. [volume] (Lewiston, North Idaho) 1878-1900, 1900-01-24

The mild weather has been ia
vorable for develop ment in the
the mining camps of the
Clearwater basin. The snowfall
has been light, even in the high
camps, so that there has been little
hindrance TO the progress of work.
The result is manifest in the re-
ports from every section of the Lew
iston district that many prospects
have been developed into valuable
mines. The prolonged season for
labor has given us the results of
two ordinary years in one, and
good years, too. The year 1900
will give the Lewiston district an
increase of wealth Of one hundred
per ct. Such progress is unpreceden-
ted. This elm ak Of prosperity, com.
ing as it does after the substantial
growth of the past four years,
should make Lewiston and Lewis
ton district the business center o.
gravity of the great northwest fol
years to come. Before the veal
closes the Lewiston district will
have more great and permanent
mines than all the balance of thu
great northwest together.

The Railroad Situation.

There seems to be some coniu'
sion about the conditions of the
late compromise between the
Northern Pacific and the o. X. & |
n. railroads. y 1T only the condi-
tions but the ffeCt of the compro-
mise excite COT fliciing sentiments.
The question at issue was the
occupancy of the Clearwater basin,
and whether or Il parallel tracks
should be constructed down Snake
river and in other fields OF the
Northwest. The division of terri
tory has been effected for an indeh-
mite period, and the trackage ar
rangement has been adjusted
temporarily. This all means that
the o. X. & n. road will complete
its line to Lewiston and up Snake
river aud the Northern will pro
coed to occupy the Clearwater
basin in peace.
This arrangement will be to the
disadvantage of the interior dis
tricts. There will be no occasion
for the immediate construction OF
roads to the wheat plateau of the
reservation and Camas prairie.
The railroads are ruled by short
sighted philosophy to the effect
that a community is accommodated
with transportation facilities when
ever the opposition is shut out.
The railroad builders now argue
that they will get the traffic Of the
interior without reaching out for
it--,hat the traffic will come to the
railroads in the canyons if there
are no railroads on The plateaus
While this condition will retard
the development OF many industries
in the interior, it will build up
Lewiston more positively than q
more thorough transportation sys'
tenn in the tributary districts. The
recognition of Lewiston by both
roads will make it impossible tt
establish competitive points in the
interior. The compromise makes
Lewiston common center of thu
two railroad systems, and the onl,
one in the region. Neither roat
can afford to discriminate agains
Lewiston as a commercial cente
under the conditions that prevail
with the effects OF this compromise
The gateway idea is exempliiie'
in this division of territory between
two great railroads. The gatewa,
idea is magnifed by the union @
two systems at this point. An,
the opening of the Snake river dis
trict gives Lewiston new tribu
tary district. The wealth of tina
region has never come this way
In this extension of our commerc
our field is enlarged twofold. TIL
railroad compromise is the hes
possible arrangement for the imme
diate, rapid and permanent growt
of Lewiston. There is nothing tina
can prevent Lewiston from becom
ing great wholesale and rcta
distributing point under this re
gime.

AT least fifteen water grade rail-
roads leading to the Clearwater re-
gion have been projected and with
these, three Though lines. Who
says Lewiston is not an important

week is our star of progress.

after weeks of suffering she calmly
folded her arms and fell into a long,

well-known and highly respected citi-

this life in the 57th year of his age.
The deceased gentleman leaves
widow and daughter. Mrs. John H

the corner of Washington and Race
streets for the Seaboard Air Line for
a considerable length of time, and was
so popular with the people generally
that he was 4 candidate for Keeper
of the Cemeteries two years ago polling
very ilattering vote-so much so that
he entered the race this year and had
partially canvassed the city before he
was taken sick about six weeks ago.
which resulted as above stated. The
funeral notice will appear later.

The interest in the coming street fair

not less than 10000 strangers. and that
it would pay all the merchants in this
