FIGHTING FOR GRAIN TRADE.
Three Transcontinental Lines Now

The extension of the Canadian Pacific
lines into North and South Dakota and
Montana is regarded by local railroad men
as the contamination of a policy on the
part Of that line to attempt to secure a
large share of the vast grain and min

Great Northern and Northern Pacific.

boundary line into the Canadian North

has announced its intentions to do SO early

OUR local contemporary seems
very much exercised because the
editor of this paper, as member of
the last Legislature, introduced in
the house, at the request of the
deputy state auditor, an old-time
friend and neighbor, a resolution
providing for the manner in which
the warrants drawn for payment of
salaries of members and employees of
the house should be issued. This
resolution was introduced as a mat
ter of form, in response to the re-
quest of the auditors office, and its
purpose was to lessen the work of
that office. 1t was a courtesy such
as we stand ready to extend to any
friend, and contained no element of
personal interest.

THE saloon men of Colfax have
organized in all effort to throw the
solid saloon vote of Whitman county
for Mackay for sheriff, Chadwick
for judge and Neergaard for prose
cutor. The record of Mr.. Canutt as
sheriff has shown that he is fear
less Ill enforcing the laws, and if the
saloons intend to obey the laws they
have nothing to fear from his re-
election The fact that this element
is against Mr. Canutt can not iniure
him, but should throw all lovers of
law and order and of law enforce
ment to his standard. 1t is certain
ly an excellent recommendation for
the republican nominees for sheriff,
judge and prosecutor that the
gambling element of the county seat,
the element oftenest before the bar
of justice, is opposed to them.

DO THE people of Pullman fully
realize the change in local condi-
tons wrought in four years? Four
years ago one-half the business
blocks of this city stood vacant,
bringing no return to the property
owners. Dwelling houses were
vacant and nnrentable, and business
OF all kinds was not onlg vt stand
still, but was getting worse. To
day business blocks and dwellings
are all filled, more are being built,
and the city is in prosperous CON
dition. -Four years ago the local
political clubs had commodious
quarters on the ground floor of the
principal blocks of the city. Today
they are unable to find suitable
rooms at all.

THE Commoner last week built
up bogy man of straw in vain
attempt to idjure S. c. Roberts, the
republican nominee for superintend-
ent of schools, but the article has
had a reflex action, and by calling
out the facts has strengthened Mr..
Roberts before the people, The
Commoner sought to make it APP
pear that Mr.. Roberts had drawn
two salaries during the ptogress of
the Summer Science School at the
college during the summer, one as
county superintendent and one as in
structor in the school. AS matter
OF fact, Mr.. Roberts was paid no
salary by the college for his SER
vices i'll connection with the summer
school SESSION, but apayment of 500
was made him to cover his legit-
innate expenses, and that amount
did not fully cover the expense Mr..
Roberts was to. The services of
Mr.. Roberts to the teachers in the
summer school were of inestimable
value, and were directly III line with
his duties. The effort of the Com
moner to show that Mr.. Roberts
was acting as an agent for the
Northwest School Furniture Co. al
so fell equally fiat, and afidavits
have been forthcoming from the
company and from the various
school boards in the county show
ing that the charge was entirely
groundless. Mr. Roberts has been
a faithful superintendent, true to
the interests of the county schools,
and will receive the endorsement OF
voters on November 9th.

FOR HER SAKE"

The For Her Sake" company gave
a very pleasing performance at the
Atheneum last night. A fair audience
was in attendance. The play is one
of the best that has been seen in the
city in a long time. The plot is
woven about Russian social and polit-
ical customs, and is we'll carried out
by cast of competent actors and ac-
tresses. Such characters as Prince
Valdemar, the Princess Redetsky, Olga,
Gregorievitch and the old Russian
General Ruffentoff are far above the
ordinary in ability. Some very pretty
and touching scenes were depicted, in
delineating the love of Valdemar for
the serf girl, Olga, and the web of Rus
sian intrigue and customs that keeps
them apart until on the road to ST.
beria they are finally united. There
is touch of melodrama in the play,
but just enough to maintain the inter-
estt. The company should .e thor
oughly successful, with so excellent a
play and a company amply able to
bring out what is good.

THE RESULT IN VERMONT.

The average republican majority in
Vermont for the seven presidential
years since 1872 is 25,47O. The ma
jority in 1872 was 25,31o; in 1876, 23,-
Cos; in 1850, 25,O21; in 1884, 21 ,S4S;
in 1888, 27,61S; in 1892, 1926; in
1894, 27,311; in 1896, for governor, &c.
$50; in 1898, 22,773. The total vote
of the state in 1894 was 5S,OO2; for
president in 1896, G3,S2S; for governor
in 1898 the total vote was 54,337.
In the canvass this year the republi-
cans feared that there would be a light
vote. The democrats believed that
through the retirement Of Senator Ed
munds, the position of Senator Hoar,
and the activity of the anti-imperial-
istic league in Boston, the republican
vote in the state would be greatly re-

did not claim that the party vote

SECRE EARY HEATH SATISFIED

Chicago, sept. 1.-THE correspond

"The two Dakotas have the finest or

the northwest with the Times corre-
spondent this afternoon. "The repub-
licans will carry both of these states.
If were betting man l would be
looking for good Investments with
money, which l would be- willing to
chance at the rate of 2 to / that the
republicans will carry South Dakota.
That is a better bet than even money
on Indiana, and I have every conf
dence that we will be able to carry the
Hoosier state.
There is not weak place in the
northwest. 1t seems impossible that
we should be mistaken in our informa-
tion. The very best political author
tiles in Minnesota are conservatively
placing our plurality at 10000. The
democrats have bombarded the Ger
mans Of the northwest and tried in ev-
cry way possible to shake their allie
glance to the republican party. We
know they have not succeeded. The
northwestern states will give famous
republican majorities, and the Ger
mans will do their SHARE
Now, If these expressions were not
facts, but only the hopes Of the secre-
tary of the national committee, they
would still. be legitimate for Mr.. Heath
to make. He is on that side, and 1t
would be proper, and is proper, to
to make the best showing he can at
this time. But ann familiar with
