young freshman, while waiting
one day last autumn for a room TO
be assigned to her in a college dormi-
tory, picked up an old newspaper and
read in it an editorial upon escape
from burning buildings. The sugges-
ton was there made that by once
thinking out plan of action for an
emergency, the action itself would be-
come somewhat mechanical The girl
laughingly said to herself that an
opera cloak would be a good thing to
have near in case Of fire by night.
When she unpacked her trunk her
warm evening cloak was given a hook
near the closet door. She decided
also that her night slippers might rea-
sonably be kept under the bed A
few weeks ago, on a bitterly cold
night. that very dormitory burned to
the ground. The young girl aroused
from sound sleep by the alarm, hal
only time to seize her cloak and slip
pers and fee for her life. Not an
other OF her belongings was saved.
Having to run some distance for shell
ter, the wraps saved the girl from an
exposure which on such q night might
have been fatal.

The case of the State of Idaho VS. Ben,
ton Denny which has consumed the past
three days Of time in the district court,
was terminated last night when the Jury
brought in verdict Of not guilty. The
verdict was as much surprise to the de
iendant as to the public, owing to the
short space Of time consumed by the jury
IN reaching their decision. The court in
structed the jury last night in clear and
concise manner, pointing out to them
their duty in the premises and admonish
ing them of the possibilities of an error
in their judgment where the element Of
doubt entered over conflicting testimony.

the Northern Pacific Railway company
has submitted for approval, to the war
department at Washington, plans for the
erection of a steel bridge to span Snake
river from a position called "The Point"
in this city to position opposite on the
Nineland side. This is very significant
and is evident that the Northern Pacific
is contemplating the extending of its
line down the Snake river 1t is neces-
sary before beginning construction over

Campaign Material.

The first gun of the state fusonist cam
paign was fired this morning in the col
umns OF the Lewiston Tribune, where
space is given to comparative statement
made by {. f. Arney, chief Clerk of the
state land board, showing the revenue.
received from the leasing of state land,
under the republican state administra
| tons and the same revenues under the
fusion administrations.
In commenting upon the showing the
Tribune says; During the irst six years
OF statehood, when the republican party
conducted the government, the total re.
ceipts for land rentals amounted to
A49.o7. During the following three and
two-thirds years under democratic gov.
eminent, the total receipts from the same
sources were S3S, 5000"
Upon the basis of these figures the
Tribune goes into rhapsodes about the
glories of fusion economics.
The Tribune overlooks the fact that in
the years 1891, 1892 and 1893 the peo-
pie were buying state lands and not leas-
ing them. In Nez Perez county alone in
the years named the state land board sold
900 worth of state lands. These were
sold OH the bsss of one-tenth down and
one-tenth each year, with interest on the
unpaid notes at the rate of ten per cent.
The purchasers paid interest and made
payments upon the lands till the demo.
cratic hard times of rSe3-ISoo made this
impossible. Then the lands were for.
feited and the leasing began when repub-
lican prosperity made it possible for farm
ers to live and pay rentals.
The Tribune also overlooks the fact
that Nee Perez county alone furnishes
over $II 400 of the increase on state land
rentals on school lands OF the Nez Perez
reservation which were not opened dur.
ing the republican state administration
and no part OF which was leased until
early in 1897. In the light Of these addi-
uonal facts 1t would appear that the in
creased revenues were due more to the
general prosperity of the country and to
the additional acreage red from The
opening up of the reservation than from
the great hnanceering of of the fusion
state administration.

The Grain Market.

Though there is not very much actlV
itv in Lewiston over the grain market,
vet the farmers throughout the Ne7 Perez
reservation have pretty well sold out
said Mr.. +. W. Kettenbach, of the ket-
tenbach Grain Co. today to TELLER rep
resentative. He also stated that nearly
all the wheat at his Lapwai and Sweet
water warehouses was sold, though OF
course some small lots were still unsold.
All along the Clearwater branch the
wheat is being sold as fast as housed, the
farmers in that vicinity not desiring to
run the chances of a declining market.
Mr.. Kettenbach further stated that Lew
was practically the only point where
farmers were holding for better prices.
Shippers are experiencing considerable
difficulty in getting cars at points which
are on-competitive 1t is reported that
the O. r. & n. at Portland have over SOC
loaded cars on the track, which has Gre
ated a blockade, and that the n. p. are
in the same fix at Tacoma. This is oc-
casioned by the enormous sales of wheat
in the Palouse country during the past
two weeks, which wheat has been shipped
out as fast as sold, and which is the real
cause of far shortage in the Clearwater
country.
Local buyers are quoting a nominal
figure for wheat at AZ cents per bushel,
sacked, delivered to the warehouse
Barley is quoted at from IS cents to 90
cents per hundred, sacked i'll the ware
