Local Route Still Unsettled.

The Fort Scott, lola & Western
railroad seems not yet to have fixed
definitely upon what route it will Sc
lect for its right.of-way through lola.
After many difficulties the road was
granted a right-of-way by the council
along the north side of the Missouri
Pacific. That sweet girl got her back
up and built wonderous hustle where
the stock yards used to be, so the new
road would have to get clear to the
north end of town to go around that
hump. Now the new roads agents
are interviewing residents along
Douglas street, inquiring the selling
price of their property and the figure
at which they estimate the damages
they would sustain by the road S
passing along that street. In view of
the old-time way in which towns fell
over themselves to give right-of-way
to railroads this new road is having
the hardest time any Kansas railroad
ever had. 1t is spending its money in
good faith now in construction and it
is to be hoped no more tumbling
blocks will impede its successful con-
struction and operation.

Buy Of Home Merchants.

The Idaho State Tribune is making
war in behalf of the local merchants in
the Occur d'Alenes, who are kicking
about the large amount of money sent to
mail order houses in the east for articles
that could be purchased at the stores in
that region. The idea of something
cheap has SO firmly fixed itself in the
minds of the people that they cannot
help going after anything in that line,
regardless of where it is or the con-
sequences resulting. There is no safer
or surer way Of bringing wage reductions
and business failures than the way in
which the consumers Of the Occur
d'Alenes are going.
The merchant loses his trade and is
forced to quit. The employer learns that
living is cheaper and uses this IS full
crum to cut wages, and then the worker
finds he is at last the one whom .'some-
thing cheap" has struck with terrific
force. Patronize home industries. That
is the way to build up a happy prosperous
community. !.

State Historical Society.

Mrs. c. A. Gamer, the state librarian,
has suggested the value and importance
Of state historical society to perpetuate
aud preserve the many features connected
with the early history of the state. This
includes everything of historical ma
ture, including the state flags, uniforms
and war relics; mineral specimens and
curios, exposition exhibits of various
kinds, cnrios gathered by the early set
tiers, natural history specimens, and 4
thousand and one things which will be
useful as an education and matter of
interest to present and future residents
Of Idaho. These societies are recognized
in the eastern states as very necessary
part Of the educational system Of the
state Montana has such society and
an invaluable collection is being gathered
together there.
1t is evident that as time passes there
will be more difficulty in securing relics
Of historical value. From the Indian
tribes Of Idaho. including the Nez Perces.

now be gathered complete collection ol

TO THE HARRISON
MONUMENT FUND
Benjamin Harrison. Soldier, States
man and Lawyer. Was the only
President to Visit Idaho.

In the life and character of Benjamin
Harrison there was nothing which could
sully the honor and fame of the Ameri-
can people while he wore the robes of
hige Office, the breath of scandal attached
to no act of his administration. Sucn
was the character Of the man that he left
a small estate at his death. His life
work covered the wide range from farm
work to studying law, duties of soldier,
senator and president of the United
States In every place he measured up
to the full stature of greatness. 1t is just
to him that a monument equal to the
Washington monument should be reared
in the city where he lived and died
honored by all.
Every county in the United States will
be asked to help in the work, and the
Teller trusts that Nez Perce county will
give from her abundance good sum.
The Benjamin Harrison Monument
Association, incorporated to erect a
monument to General Harrison at In
dianapolis. has appointed Hon. James II.
Beatty for Idaho, who in turn has ap-
pointed James f. Babb, John P. Vollmer
and Frank w. kettenbach of Lewiston,
Idaho, for Nez Perce county, to represent
it in raising funds, one-third of which
Indiana expects to raise.
Harrison is the only President who
while in Office, visited Idaho and at the
main entrance to Idaho's capitol stands
a tree planted by General Harrison's own
hand OH the occasion of that visit. Idaho
will take pleasure in contributing her
share to the monument. Residents of
Nez Perce county are requested to for
yard contributions to any Of the COM
mittee above named for this county.
Any contribution, however small, results
in membership Of the Association, Of
whom there will be a perpetual memorial.
Contributors of one dollar will receive
certificates of membership, and Of one
hundred dollars, will become Vice
Regents of the Association.
The local committee request an early
response. A very small amount will,
cause to be registered the name Of a
father and all his sons in the memorials
of the Association and connect them with
the memory Of one of our greatest citi-
zens, soldiers, lawyers and statesmen.

When the postal inspector comes to
look over the city to ascertain il the gov
ernnent requirements for carrier service
have been complied with, unless the
street committee acts before that time, he
will find the fi-st street running east ard
west through the city sorry looking
affair. Though the greater part Of this
thoroughfare is in the business district,
there is but 400 feet of sidewalk, and that
is on the Hotel de France property and
a lot owned by Councilman Storer. In
the block between Fifth street and the
railroad, east, the center of the street has
been filled and on either side when the
fall rains set in small lake will make
that street impossible to residents living
in that section. At the lower end OF the
street fill has been made entirely Of
large boulders. Over these teams cannot
travel. So the sidewalks are now used
by teamsters for roadways. This should
be looked after, and If only planking
such as is used on the Fifth street grade
is laid it will serve the purpose. Look
over G street.

MOX MOX IS OUT CAMPING
The Bad Indian Sends Greeting to His For
mer Custodans.

More than week has elapsed since
the Nez Perce county Jail gave up five of
its tenants and nothing has been heard
from any except statement made to
Indian Agent Stranahan. Mox Mox is
not the untutored Indian of romantic
novels, but is an educated fellow, more
than ordinarily shrewd. with weak
ness for getting on the wrong side of the
law. Here is his message:
"We left the Jail about , O'Clock in the
morning. The man with the money
went out first. never saw him after
wards. l was the last one to leave
-Four of us went directly to the railroad
track and followed it until it began to
get light. Just above the Dunwell place
we left track and went up gulch nearly
to the top of the hill where we stayed
until dark in the brush. We had no
weapons or food. We then went out in
to the grain field on top of the bill,
where we separated. The other thyee.
men told me they intended to go to
Asotin and endeavor to find boat in
that vicinity and 90 down Snake river
just as far as was possible. went across
the grain fields to Spalding where
crossed Clearwater in canoe, and have
gone to the mountains where intend to
back and stand trial. l have read the
statement Of our escape in the Lewiston
Tribune and l want to correct some of
the statements made therein. We re-
ceived no assistance from the outside
other than the tools which we paid Tor.
They were passed in to us through the
door in broad daylight, wrapped in
piece of brown paper. l do not know
the mans name that passed them in.
The statement that we were armed or
that we were provided with horses is
false, as also the statement that there
was anyone on the outside on guard.
The story that Brockway and Minkler
tells about threats being made against
them is not so. will tell you great
deal more when come back
Will Mox Mox return? Will the love
Of wife and home impel him to seek the
sweets of life on the reservation. with
the possibility of Imprisonment for an
alleged crime? These are grave questions
for Mox Mox and he will give them due
consideration in the mountain Businesses.
Mox Mox is seeker after truth
when it suits his purpose. He corrects
erroneous statements of the Jail break
He has lost his love for the romantic,
and made no one a hero. The hard
work of cutting several yards of steel had
this effect. He never liked work any
too we'll, and he will take long, long
rest.

Gil was full of interest, and many new
things came to the surface from the
depths of municipal mystery. But the
aide; men were equal to the occasion.
The first matter of importance was
the election of F. d. Culver to succeed
Chris Weisgerber, resigned.
The treasurer, Leslie Thompson,
presented his report for the month He
appended statement that the reduction
Of his commissions not having been in
effect prior to August Ist he had some
thing coming for July. The council
took time to think it over, and Leslie
awaits in Job like patience the result of
aldermanic thinking
Next Ernest Mccullough bobbed up
serenely with delicately worded type
written statement informing the city
government that he had no desire to be
member of the official family, in the
important position of building inspector.
| Then came the blow that prostrated
the hot weather. 1t was the kick OF I25
people on the hill who wanted to pay
the Water Company just one-half less
than they now pay and also to have the
pressure increased sufficiently to fill the
pipes.
Then the council gave the city at
torney chance to earn his salary by
forming an ordinance to build side
walk on the west side of Swanson street.
VIM. Mohl was the most modest of all
those who had the nerve to see the coun-
Gil during the heated term. He wanted
$3.50 year to look after the city sewers,
and SO more to put in man-hole at
the Raymond House. Billy never smiled.
Then bomb was exploded under John
P. vollmer, when Hastings from the
water committee reported that the hill
extension of the water system be not ac-
cepted until the pipe was laid direct
from the reservoir instead Of tapping it
100 feet away.
Then came motion to adjourn. and
with perspiration streaming from every
pore, the city government wended its
way down the broad stairway, to meet
again Monday evening.
Now comes the city council in session
Monday evening. It is cool as the
weather and full of business as the north
extremity of mad hornet going south.
1t tackled the sidewalk question and it
requires nerve aud caution to tackle
Lewiston sidewalk at the present time.
1t was ordered that an ordinance be pre-.
pared requiring the construction Of the
following sidewalks:
On + street along NORTH side from
point opposite the court house to point
opposite Delsol lane.
On Delsol lane from E street to Mono

more scattered and as time passes the
gathering of such a collection will be
more difficult. The same is true as re-
lates to the early settlers of Idaho.
These veterans, who have in their pos
session valuable relics of the early his
tory of the state, and who have know
ledge and clear memory of the stirring
scenes associated with the settlement of
this state, are growing old, and many
are passing away. This data should be
secured from them, and placed in per-
manent form for the edificaton and in
strution of future generations
Mrs. Gamer is i'll hope that steps will
be taken to organize such a society in
Idaho, and is confident that il the col
lection is started the state will make
provision in a few years for taking care
OF it. The plan as pursued in other
states IS to organize an association, which
is usually composed of philan,hropic peo-
pie who are wiling to give the time and
money necessary to start the movement.
One feature of the collection might be
number of photographs showing the
scenery of 1daho's lakes, mountains and
rivers, and as the natural scenery will be
interesting the artificial works of mau
will be also, as the latter is constantly
changing. The librarian has stated that
she will be glad to receive views from
photographers and amateurs throughout
the state, al any time, and that she will
arrange and care for them as nucleus
for large collection for the historical
society when it is organized.
In Montana, as in other states, another
plan is used to preserve in perhaps the
most comprehensive way, permanent
history of the state. In Montana copy
OF every newspaper, in the state is re.
celved regularly by the society, and is
placed on file and reserved. This is
not only valuable feature from his.
torical standpoint but serves its purpose
in other ways. For instance few weeks
ago the society furnished caller at the
society's rooms information gained from
AN old copy Of newspaper which resulted
in the saving of big sum of money to
the caller, as the facts gained settled
certain points in a legal controversy
over valuable property.
Idaho should not be behind other states
in this respect and it remains for the pub
lie spirited citizens to take the matter np.
