Miles on Cr0nje.

Commenting on the surrender of Cen
eral Crouie, General Miles says; "Cronie's
surrender was expected, and il was all
that could be expected when a force of
5000 holds out for week against force
of 10000. You will observe that the first
reports said General Cronic had force
of 5000 opposed TO the British, but
only 5000 surrendered, What became OF
the other 6,ooof The Importance of the
surrender under the circumstances only
illustrates the fighting valor of this hand
full of Boer patriots. The effect OF Cronje's
surrender will be TO strengthen rather
than to weaken the Boer patriots cause
in this war, We can not help but adj
mire those Beers, no matter where our
sympathies may be. In my position it
would not be diplomatic for me to say
too much, but whoever is III the right.

W n Fulmer, a miner employed by

,sw DAYS ago in the Stemwinder mine.
r.s accident was caused by a falling
hodv of rock weighing several hundred

The grading for the Idaho Northern is
nearly completed to the Boise river. Bids
are now called for for ten miles of grad

The work is going to be pushed as fast
as men and teams can accomplish it.
Samuel Weir, blacksmith at the Vic
TOR mine on John Day Greek, twenty
miles from the town of White Bird, was
Saturday mortally injured by an explos-
ion of giant caps. Weir was sharpening
some drills at the forge and spark fell
into an open box of caps, causing a terri
Bile explosion, and the unfortunate man
was simply riddled with caps. Weir is a
single man, 2S years old. He can not
possibly live.
MI. Shields of Moscow intends to SOW
zoo acres of his new cereal, corn-wheat,
this year. 1t will be sown in the same
manner as wheat, and one and one-half
bushels to the acre will be used. The
kernel is three fourths of an inch long
and has the appearance of rye and makes
meal which resembles that of corn. Its
peculiar value in this country is that il
takes the place of corn and will yield
double the amount that wheat yields.
S. f. Henry, an attorney has been
bound over to the district court on a

was sworn out of the probate court by S

own use. The case was prosecuted by T

Juggling With Figures.

Inc circumstance that Lancaster county
pennsylvania, with an area of 1000 square
miles, has population of 10000 inhab-
itants, has twenty-six national banks.
with capital stock of 5000, 900, and
note circulation of Fl ,oS7,43o, while the
States of North Carolina, South Carolina
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississipp,
and Arkansas average only nineteen
banks each, with f., POS ST. of capital and
$59o,I7I OF notes, says the Baltimore
Herald, is cited to show the iniquity of
the tariff as means of impoverishment
for the South.
vi course those who have watched
closely the progress of the country since
the Civil War will not be misled by such
clap-trap, which impresses only the un-
thinking. AS has been demonstrated
again and again, no other section of the
country has made such gain during the
past decade as the South. That the tran
sition from the old order to the new, from
slavery to free labor, should have been
accompanied by unfavorable factors was
inevitable. But this transition also be
came the logical precursor of the change
from agriculture to industrialism which
is now going on. The cotton-mll devel-
| opment in different southern States and
the establishment of iron works in Ala
bama have been favored, if not entirely
conditioned, by the tariff. How, then,
can system of customs dues be regarded
as discrimination against any particular
section
Protection sentiment is cropping out in
all the Southern States which have been
benefited by the erection of factories and
smelling works. Evidently the people
| there have abandoned the view that tar.
| ifs are baneful and rebound solely to the
advantage Of the North. But the cry
against tariffs as a means of raising the
price of necessities to the poor is toe
catchy to be abandoned by the bowling
dervishes of Free Trade.

Admiral Dewey says 'there was no
dicker, no pledge, no promise of recogni-
ton of independence in Hongkong be
fore the battle of Manila bay made TO
Aguinaldo. He simply had permission
to go to Manila under American protec-
ton. and that was all. Prof. Schurman
says the same. Gen. Merritt says the
same. Dewey further says that the word
independence was never spoken of or
thought of by Aguinaldo, and yet we
read in certain newspapers every morn
ing that faith was broken with that cut
throat and every morning the govern
meut Of the United States and the presi-
dent of the United States are put under
indictment as criminals who necdlessly
and without cause brought on a consum-

Engineer COOper'S Report.

LEWISTON, IDAHO. Feb. 26, loco.
10 the Honorable the Mayor aud Council
of lewiston Idaho:
GENTLEMEN: | have the honor to sub.
NIT herewith my report upon the present
actual cash va tie of the plant of the Lew
lston Water & Light Co. The accom-
panying map Of the city shows the sizes
and distribution of the pipe lines. the
quantities of material and the location of
the pumping station and distributing res
ervoir and hydrants. Under the author.
lty given me TO employ a competent hy-
draulic engineer l employed the city
engineer, and he has assisted me through
out on the work.
REAL. ESTATE.
The company owns a piece of ground
on which the pumping station is located
1t has an area of two acres, and owing to
its proximity to the railroad | have
placed its value at 5000.
The land on which the reservoir is sit
uated value ut $3.50. 1t contains little
less than an acre.
BUILDINGS.
The company owns a brick building
containing the pumping plant, This
building is Of good construction, and
being at an exposed point has an ex.
tremely heavy concrete foundation.
There is a 3b-in. steel encased we'll in
the concrete and 2o-in. intake about 30
feet long. The cost Of duplicating this
building and intake complete / estimate
at 5000.
PUMPING PLANT.
The cost of boiler similar to the one
at the station will be 5000; the freight
on same about $222; feed pump, $50; cree
ton Sis; total, SI72o. As the steam
plant, however, has been in use since 1896
estimate the value now as only $3.50
The cost of pumps and fittings of the
same make and capacity as the pump nov
in use will be 10000 erected.
RESERVOIR.
| The reservoir is 100 feet III diameter
and IS feet deep, lined with brick ans
with concrete bottom My estimate fo
this is
