The discoveries and develop
mcnt in the mining industry in
the Lewiston district gave us
millions i'll values during the past
year The values revealed in this
one year have more than doubled
the wealth of the Clearwater basin,
Our progress III the past tour years
has been surprise even to the
most optimistic citizens. And yet
the door TO the treasure boxes OF
our mountains has been only fairly
opened. Not one ledge in a
thousand has been opened 10 a
depth of twenty feet the surface
showings are fabulous. The
mines of our district are not We,
producers, but their values are as
sured. The coming year will be
noted as one of great investments
in mines in our district. The
wealth is now inactive but the
transfers of interets have already
begun; and thus wealth will be-
come a commercial factor from this
date. The mining Investments
OF the opening season will add
more wealth to this district than
all other interests combined. This
capital will give impetus to all
branches of trade. Then wilt
come the era of production that
will have at least three tributary
camps any one If which is equal
to the CJeur d Alenes.

A Year Of Progress.

The year 1899 was the most
progressive in the history of Lewis.
ton and Lewiston valley. The
progress in agricultural interests
was very great throughout the
wheat belt.
The stock interests may be said
to have been recognized from
primitive TO permanent methods.
The union of ranch aud range has
been permanently effected. The
sales of stock for shipment reached
a total of $575.ooo for wool and
cattle alone, the lirgest sum
ever received in one year from
stock.
The timber enterprise may be
said to have been organized upon .
permanent basis during the past
year. The value of the wood,
lumber aud ties cut from
the forests tapped by railroad ex-
tension is estimated at S425.oco
The wheat shipped from this
basin is estimated al 900, 900 and
that in storage at an equal figure.
A fair value for this crop would be
500. 900. The forage crops over
home consumption amounts to
about $40. 900.
The fruit crop that was marketed
Brought $4,000. To this might
be added $4,000 from the truck
gardens

A Great Industry for Lewiston.

Patriotism, like Charity, begins at
home The Lewiston Milling Co. have
their mill in operation now, and turn
ing ont their different brands of flour.
This is great industry for Lewiston,
and no money has been spared to make
it one of the best mills in the Northwest.
A flour mill is good thing to help build
up town. With no mill few farmers
would come here. The more flour we
sell, the better our market is for wheat.
The more products of the farmer market
cd Ill our town, the more money is spent
here, and all get share.
This mill will consume about ISo 900
bushels of wheat per year, this means a
big exchange i'll cash to the farmers for
their grain. Therefore buy your -four OF
| your home mills, for every sack that is
bought Oh the outside, is just so much
| less wheat sold i'll this market, and the
more -four we sell, the more wheat we
must buy, with this money the farmer
goes and does trading with the local mer-
chants, and as grain is their source Of in
come, the mill is the mint that scatters
the money throughout the town. Pat
ronize your city mills. Home flour is
the staff of life to every citizen i'll more
ways than one. Spend your money on the
endless cham plan, pay today for your
home made product, receive it tomorrow
i'll payment for some debt or in exchange
tor merchandise. Buy foreign flour your
money. goes TO build some other town.
Keep your dollar at home. Keep your
home business moving, it will improve
the value of your realestate, make the
town grow, and be the means of upbuild-
ing home industry.
The miller of Spokane does not con-
tribute dollar towards supporting our
town, 1--WE Dol for this reason ask
your individual patronage.
| We are making three grades of flour,
known as Straight Patent and Bakers,
and the price will be the same at the
stores as at the mill. We are pleased at
all times to show visitors through our
mill.

The desirable features Of public
water system have been fully ex-
emplihed in the past. The people
have spoken almost unanimously
In favor of the ownership of the
old or new city water plant. The
question has been presented fairly
to the city council aud The public
sentiment is known to that BODY.
On the other hand there seems to
be no probability of favorable
action in response to this popular
public demand. There are none
among the city officials who
will openly oppose public water
system yet it looks like a forlorn
hope at this time. The only
hope of triumph for this
public reform is In public de :
onstration that will impress
the officials with the full force of
public sentiment on this subject
Open opposition to a public water
system at this time would be
torcihly resented; but the con.
fusion of technical opposition is
just as disastrous at this time,
The contention about the con-
iormity of the ordinance to the
letter of the charter is a technical
objection urged to confuse the
public and for no other purpose.
The news paper insinuates that
the public would not vote to place
the responsibility Ct providing a
water system in the hands of the
council without restraining them
10 impractical limits is disrespect-
tul to shameful degree. 1t
should be resented by the officials
and the public who elected them.
Instead this criticism has been &C
cepted as the real sentiment of the
people and the members of the
council have been discouraged by
the implication. This implied dis
trust is an implied Islander. The
officials effected should charge the
the SANDER to the responsible in
dividuals and resent it vigorously.
but public reforms should no, be
permitted to suffer defeat from
inuendo. There can be no large
use of public funds without max
ing the officials the responsible
agents of the city aud it is un-
fortunate if the members of the

crops calls for a vile range OF

experience IN the technical work

harvest all tie crops that five

this district demand.
Among all the farmers o. this
little community of garden homes
there is not one really practical
irrigator and at the same time
there can not be pei feet special
crop grown here without special
practical knowledge.

TOOTHFUL TEDDY
Tore Through Town TerrOrizing
The Timid.
Took A Tour To The Tabernacle To
Talk To The Tremb-
ling.

Teddy the Terror, arrived at
IL o'clock Saturday. morning and
was taken in hack to the Taber-
nacle where he spoke his little
piece. In the hack with him rode
County Attorney Ohio Anderson
and upon reaching the Tabernacle
Ohio tou ;hed him off and the per-
formance began. His speech was
short and not very sweet.
He had evidently been coached
by some of the interested parties to
talk about "civil liberty for he
devoted most of his speech to the
late contest, declaring that Bryan
had come to the State last year to
speak for those who subsequently,
conducted a successful contest
through all the courts of the land.
This reference to Bryan brought
out few shouts for Bryan. but
they were quickly stopped by Dem.
ocrats in the audience until the
speakers concluded. when there was
a storm of hurrahs for Bryan
that were taken up on the streets
and kept up all along the route tc
the depot. Teddy took the guying
good naturedly and would occas-
ionly smile and raise his hat
AT the Tabern acle he spoke only
few moments and then presented
Col. Guild, a Massachusetts spell
binder, whose "carnt" in the first
sentence provoked a broad smile.
The Colonel spoke with drawl and
strong naval twang combined and
sang a fulsome eulogy of Teddy s
achievements at Santiago. When
he quit, Posey, of Indiana, made a
set speech to what remained of the
audience.
One feature of the Roosevelt
speech was that while he was
speaking a colored man named
Harris called out: Tell us about
the 10th Cavalry" The 10th cav
airy was the colored regiment at
San Juan hill, whose alleged re-
treat Teddy claims to have stopped
with his famous hoss pistol. Col.
Roosevelt paid no attention to the
interruption.

that dead man was lying on the

oner Allensworth went out to Casky
early Saturday morning to make
an investigation and hold an in

find the body, however, as the
"dead man" had sobered up suffi

A colored festival was given last

after the festivities had begun John
Boyd and another colored boy
named Wright became involved in
a quarrel over the attentions shown
Boyd's girl by Wright, it is said.
Boyd picked up rock and struck
Wright on the temple, crushing his
skull and causing his death in a
a very few minutes. AS soon as
Boyd threw the stone he left for his
home near by and went to bed.
This was about 10 o'clock and
shortly thereafter Judge Paul Tur-
ney and the Town Marshal arrest
ed him and landed him in jail at
Cadiz at | o'clock Sunday morning.
He is about eighteen years of age
and lives at Cerulean. Wright was
also about eighteen and made his
home on the farm of Mr.. Pooly
