Lewiston has many natural COM
mercial advantages. She has very
few. monuments of public enter
prise. AS Lewiston has never built
a wagon road or promoted CON-
mercial thoroughfare, why would
it not be we'll to begin now and en-
courage the building of boat to
bring the trade of the upper Snake
to this city? From Grande Ronde
to the Seven Devils the trade goes
out over the mountains through
Oregon. The wool and stock ship
ments from this district naturally
tributary to Lewiston that goes to
Elgin would justify the building of
boat for one years trade. And
this boat would open up great
mining district that is now unpro-
ductive for the want of transporta-
tan. Commercial club resolutions
will not extend trade to this dis
trict. If the business men would
build such a boat it would result
in more benefit than could be ex-
pected from all our prospective
railroads.
