RAILWAY BUILDING
 DURING YEAR 1899 Many New Miles We're Con- strucied in United States. THE WESTERN STATES LEAD More Than One Half New Miles is Re ported West of the Mississippi
 River-South Makes a
 Splendid Showing
THE WESTERN STATES LEAD

The Railway Age of Chicago has compil- ed statistics covering railways building in the United States during 1899, which is summed up in the following article from its columns:
 The propositions whether of the last three months of the year has been exceed dngly favorable for railway building, and the work of laying track has proceeded with almost unprecedented vigor Thus, in measure, the delays encountered earlier in the year have been offset and as a re- suit several hundred miles of road have been pushed to completion, which it seem- ed, three months ago, would have to be postponed until spring. so far as tracklay- ing was concerned
 The Railway Age has made a very complete canvass of the country, includ- Ing every state in the union, and while the returns are not yet all in, our reports show that more miles of new railroad have been built during 1899 than in any previous year

The Summary

While there have been large additions in the southern, northern and middle vest ern states, the scene of greatest activity has been west of the Mississippi river, the twenty states so located in which new mileage Is reported contributing 2,591 miles, or considerably more than one-half of the total of the entire country. This indicates the extent to which the agricultural and mineral sections of the great west are be- ing developed.
 .SThe notable fact about work of the past year is that there has been comparatively little building by new companies more than three-quarters of the new mileage having been buslt by CT in the interest of existing Iines The Chicago and North western has built 35712 miles; the Chicago, Milwaukee ande St. Paul, 9S miles; the Northern Pacific, 95 miles in the United States and 29 miles in Canada;, the Chi eago, Rock Island and Pacific, S2 miles; the Atc(hison, Topeka and Santa F'e, 100 miles; the Illinois Central 190 miles; the Burlington system, 80 miles; the Louisville and Nashville, 74 miles; the Seaboard Air Line, over 100 miles; the Great Northern, "A miles: and the Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf, 162 miles. These are only few in- stances, many other important systems having added less mileage.
 1.-The longest continuous line built is the extension of the Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf from Howe, I. T., to Little Rock, Ark, 1924 miles and the next longest line is the extension of the Illinois Central from Fort Dodge, Ia., to Omaha, 131 miles. The Minneaolis and St. Louis is building 135 miles from New Ulm, Minn., to Storm Lake, la, and most of the track has been laid. One Of the lines built by the Chicago and Northwestern is 119 miles in length, from Burt, la.. to Vesta, Minn.
 Incomplete returns from Canada and Mexico show 40 miles of new line in Can ada and 255 miles in Mexico"

THE populists of Idaho are going
to take a ia II out of the democratic
party this year. Everybody knows
that the democrats have not played
fair with the populists. Then,
again, they blame a democratic ad-
ministration for all their troubles,
and justly, too. They are not
strong enough to defeat the demo-
Gratis alone, but they can vote the
republican ticket and turn the
democrats down, and that is Just
what they are going to do. They
know the republicans will be honest
with them at least, if not conceding
their demands.

for the policy of expansion we
would not have Hawaii, and if it
were not that we have Hawaii, 49,

THE troubles of the Con- Fusion
its appear to multiply. Philip
Averitt, member of the Code Com
mission and the democratic leader
from Fremont county, declares that
the democrats of his county will
not support the fusion state ticket,
and further, that they will nomi-
nate a legislative ticket pledged
against Dubois. And then again
Col. Dewey, the wealthy railroad
builder of Nampa, told Dubois to
his face at Pocatello that he would
spend $4,000 to defeat HIM for
the senate, and the Colonel had
been depended upon to pull the
democracy out of the hole in a
financial way. And now comes
Jay Cizzick, state mine inspector
and adds his curse to the Pocatell,
ticket.

County Platform.

The republicans of Kootenai
county, in convention Assem- bled,
viewing with satisfaction and pride
the admirable manner in which the
republican administration has con-
Quoted the affairs of the nation
during the past three years, and
looking forward confidently to sue
cess in the approaching election,
make these declarations:
MCKINLEY AND ROOSEVELT
We affirm the principles
enunciated in the national repub-
lican platform adopted at Phila-
delphia on June 20, 1900, and
firmly pledge our support to the
same. We unqualifedly endorse
the administration Of President
William Mckinley and commend
TIE wise and patriotic manner in
The Kootenai herald. [volume] (Kootenai, Idaho) 1891-1904, 1900-07-28

which he has discharge evry duty
and preserved the principles dear 20
American people. We especially
endorse the prompt and patriotic
, manner in which President Nc
Kinley has ordered the navy and
army Of the nation to proceed to
Chinese waters and to land the
marines and army on Chinese soil,
and directed the army to proceed
to Peking TO relieve or beleagured
representatives and American
citizens within. the walls Of that
city,
We enthusiastically endorse the
denomination of President William
Mckinley and the nomination for
vice president of Governor Theodore
Roosevelt, and firmly pledge our
earnest support to these standard
bearers.
SENATOR sHoUP ENDORSED.
We are justly proud of oar
worthy senator, Geo. l.. Shoup,
and feel that he deserves the CRATE
full esteem of the people of Idaho
for the able manner in which he
has guarded and advance their
interests and promoted their well
fare. By his successful efforts in
the passage of the free homeAbill he
has saved to settlers of Kuotenai
county over three-quarters of
million dollars. In all matters
pertaining to national legislation
he has proven himself to be wise,
able and efficient senator and his
public acts merit our highest COM
mendation and approval, We feel
that the state of Idaho can not
afford to dispense with his influence
and experience in the national
senate.
COUNTY EXTRAVAGANZA.
With regrets and commiseration
for the unfortunate taxpayer we
condemn the incompetent and ex-
travagant methods to which the So
called reform and fusion admins
tration has treated the people of
Kootenai county during the past
enc and one-half years. We con-
slider that the amounts of salaries
paid to most of the county officers
are too high and should be reduced,
and that, as the current debt of the
county has been considerably in
creased, the candidates on the re-
publican ticket pledge themselves
to decrease that debt and to admin
lister the affairs CT the county in an
economical and business like
manner.

Republican Platforms,
State Platform.

The republican party of IDAHO,
in convention assem- bled, renews its
allegiance to the principles of re-
publicanism, and declares it's I'M
qualified approval of the national
platform adopted at Philadelphia,
its adherence to the principles
represented by the official acts of
the administration of William
Mckinley, and pledges itself to the
support Of the same.
A new and mementous situation
having arisen IN China since the
the meeting of the National Repub-
lican Convention, we express our
utmost confidence in the ability and
purpose of the republican party to
aettle this question upon that high
plane of craftsmanship which has
characterized every act of the pres
ent national administration.
We are in favor of amending the
constitution of The United States so
as TO give congress the power more
fully to regulate and suppress
trusts, and we denounce the action
of the democratic party in the pres
ent congress who, by their votes,
defeated the proposition to submit
such an amendment to the people
of the United States for their
ratification.
The past history of the repub-
lican party in its record in this
state is sufficient guarantee that
public order will be maintained
therein; that life and property will
be protected and obedience to law
enforced upon all alike through the
established forms of law; that nc
man shall be deprived of life, liber-
ty or property without due process
of law; nor shall the right of any
man to seek and obtain or contract
for labor or employment in accord
ance with law be in any wise cur
tailed or interfered with.
We condemn the policy o
the present state administration
whereby it has sought t.
deprive a large number of hones
settlers in the northern part o
the state Of lands taken up undo
the homestead laws Of the United
States, and which has further re
suited in losing to the state thous
ands of acres of valuable timbe
lands
We condemn the policy Of tn
state administra ton in convert
, ing the boards in control of tn
various state institutions into part
san political machines indirectly
and the republican party pledge
itself to place these institutions i
the hands of those who will con
duct them solely for the purpose q
the public good and not in the in
I terest of any political organization
We remember with feelings {
gratitude and pride the gallant an
patriotic services rendered to ~
country by the brave volunteer so
= diers from Idaho, and glory in the
deeds of valor and faithfulness t
their call TO duty. We pledge ther
the.support of the republican part
