Kootenai County Republican. (Rathdrum, Idaho) 1899-1903, 1900-08-24

We condemn the policy of the pros
ent state administration whereby it
has sought to deprive Il large number
OF honest settlers in the northern part
of The state of lands taken up under
the homestead laws of the United
states. and which has further resulted
in losing 10 the state thousands OF
acres of valuable timber lands. We
condemn the policy of the state ad-
m!nlstration in converting the boards
in control of the various state institu-
tons Into partisan political machines
Indirectly. and the republican party
pledges Itself to place these institu-
lions in the hands OF those who will
conduct them solely for the purpose
of the public good and not in the inter
est of any political organization.

100000 in 1872 TO s2O0OcooOOO IN 1900 is remarkable,
an increase of exports from $40 600 600 in 1877
8 227 600 900 in 1899 is striking. but
this growth insignificant when compared with
the growth of commerce the Great Lakes, as
measured by the few available measuring roos
which the present rather unsatisfactory statissleA
system furnishes Yet the fact that navigation on
ths lakes is about open and that the greatest
season ever known is confidently predicted by
those familiar with the traffic there make some
facts which the Treasury Bureau Of Statistics mas
just presented in OF its monthly publications
especially interesting.
The single point which accurate statistical
statements have been kept during a considerable
term of years IS at St Mary's Falls Canal. which
connects Lake Superior with Lakes Michigan,
Huron Erie and Ontario and by study OF these
figures it Is practica BILE in some degree
the growth Of internal commerce on the Great
Lakes with that Of foreign commerce. AS al
ready indicated. the foreign commerce Of the
United States has doubled since 1872, and the ex-
ports have trebled during that period. During the
same time the tonnage Of vessels engaged in COM
rnerce passing through St. Mary's Falls Canal in
creased from g4735 registered tons IN 1872 70 Asos-
347 tons In 1899 the increase having been over 1000
per cent as against an increase of 100 per cent In
total foreign commerce and 200 per cent in exports
The great articles entering into the commerce on
the lakes are wheat -four and other grains; coal
iron and lumber The statements Of the quantities
Of these articles passing through the 500" Canal
illustrate the growing utilization Of this great
water route for transportation Of these articles
readily Transported in bulk. In 1871 the number Of
bushels of wheat passing through the canal was
1S7s7O5, while in 1893 the number Of bushels was
