IN THE SECOND CLASS.
Weiser to Take Census and be Adj
vanced

The Signal has referred to the
matter in the past and is glad to note
the board OF trustees has ordered
that census of the village of Weiser
be taken, and the place has been
divided into two districts for such
purpose The work will be com
menced at once and will be prose.
cuted under direction of the clerk.
Weiser now has far in excess of
the population necessary to entitle
her to admission to that class. The
required population is 1000 And,
too, her postal receipts are now about
large enough to place her in the Sec
ond class post-office list, a crafty
ing showing indeed, when we take
into consideration the fact that Weis-
er is practically a new town
The change IN class is an unmis-
taxable evidence Of advancement on
the part of this industrial and social
mecca of western Idaho, and it re-
bounds to the credit of the enterprls-
ing, progressive citizens who are
'paring no pains to put our city in
the front rank of cities of the great
northwest
Weiser is growing fast, and there
s no question as to her future. She
s destined to be great city and an
important factor in the commerce and
he industrial development of west

Alexander Gordon, Weisers sub
stantial brick manufacturer was in

ordered an expensive repress brick
machine, with which to turn out the
finest grades Of pressed brick fol-
fronts, etc. Mr.. Gordon with his
last years experience and knowledge
OF coming demands, is preparing to
turn out round 1000, 600 brick
Last season he produced LOO, 600.

fail of confirmation by the senate
Even if it should get through thai
body it is thought probable that il
will be defeated in the house. Reel
procity treaties are peculiar in that
they must be confirmed by two
thirds vote of the senate, and then
must pass both houses by majority
vote. The average protectionist,
while he is willing to tolerate for the
sake of revenue, imports that do not
compete with his own business, is
not willing to have the duties on his
own products reduced a single cent.
Calling this reduction by the name
of reciprocity does not make it any
more palatable to those whom it
hurts. Every interest menaced by
the treaty is striving, might and
main, for its defeat and it seems
probable that they will compass it.
A delegation representing the
native faction of Hawaii have arrived
in this city for the purpose of oppos-
ing the bill for territorial govern
ment prepared by the congressional
commission which visited the island
about year ago. The delegates
are R. w. Wilson, of revolutionary
fame, and Edgar Caypless. They
claim that the proposed law was pre-
pared entirely by the commissionary
element and that the natives were
given no chance to be heard or to
suggest amendments that might con-
serve their rights. They intend to
remain all winter, looking after the
Of native Hawaiians and
working for the changes which they
desire.
Another delegation from Hawaii |
has been in the city for some time,
seeking to obtain repeal of Presi-
dent McKinley's order forbidding the
sale of any government lands. 1t is
claimed that considerable injustice
has been caused by this order. Peo-
pie who fled on lands in good faith |
before the annexation are not allowed |
to prove up under the Hawaiian
law, though they have expended |
much time and money in securing
their lands as required by law at the
time they first fled Tie president,
however, thinks that he has no au-
thority to permit sales until congress
has taken action in the matter.
Commerce with Cuba, Puerto Rico
and the Hawaiian, Philippine and
Samoan Islands during the eleven
months ending with November, fully
justifies the belief that the new re-
lations which those islands sustain to
the United States will result in
great increase in our commerce with
them and especially in an increase
OF our exports to them. The total
exports from the United States to
the four islands, or groups of islands,
will amount in the calendar year
1899 to considerably more than $40
900, 600, the total for the eleven
months ending with November being
s37, S54, ITO, as compared with less
han $40. 600, 600 last year.
During January all mems clothing
Will be sold at less than the regular
price. Sommercamps'.
