Lewiston Tribune; G. .. Clark
returned yesterday from the Big
creek and Thunder Mountain districts
and reports that there has been great
activity in both camps during the
summer. The people in the Big
creek district are anxlously looking
forward to the extension OF the
wagon road from Warren into the
camp, and will endeavor to secure
its opening during the next season.
1t is the general desire of the camp
to have direct outlet to Grangevllle
and Lewiston and to secure their
supplies from this way, but before
this can be accomplished it will be
necessary to extend the road from
Warren.
"The camp Is three years in ad-
vance of what l expected" said Mr..
CLARK Yesterday. "More than 1000
men will winter in the Thunder
Mountain and Big creek districts, anc
from present indications there Will p'
a big rush there next season. Many

"A SpOleSS Town.

When Mr.. Morosco conceived the
idea of putting "Spotless Town
upon the road, he had in his mind
the difficulties that assail the health
department of every municipality,
but he did not come forward in any
spirit of radical reform. His sole
desire was to sstirize the vexations
of a too rigid enforcement of siren
uous ordinances, and to point out the
probability that, as too far east was
west, too much good was evil very
frequently. In spirit of innocent
mischief the whole thing was con-
ceived and will be executed. "Spot-
less Town will amuse the multitude
indeed, because its bumor is genu-
inc. hearty, and devoid of slang.
Whosoever sees it must laugh, and
even the most captious contender for
the faith in the statement 'thal
cleanliness is next to goodness, will
be bound to laugh at the efforts te

unsuitable quarters or course the temptation
TO extravaganza would be strong, with TAM
many in control of the expenditure and, indeed,
under any administration; but public improve
ments cannot be indefinitely delayed In fear of
jobbery OF imprudence. Mr.. Grout has recently
given solemn warning that the government
must be economically conducted for two years
to come, and it is not likely that Mr. Ahearn
would be enabled to proceed far with the execu-
ton of an imposing scheme during his term,
even If his proposal should be officially and
popularity sanctioned. 1t may, however, be
feasible to take the first step.
In our judgment, we have often said, the
city will be compelled sooner or later to acquire
the rest of the block in which the Hall of Rec
ords stands and the longer its acquisition is de-
ferred the more it will cost If it should be
taken over now and held without improvement
for some years, the operation would probably
not be improbable, for the saving of rent would
begin at once and would increase as present
leases expired and premises occupied by private
tenants were converted to public uses. There is
no advantage, but considerable risk, in post
poning the inevitable, and the next administra-
ton will not be wholly inglorious II it obtains
possession of the Ckambers-st. property. The
building project which excites the imagination
OF NJ. Ahearn can await more convenient
season. though it might be well TO undertake in
a deliberate way the preparation of q plan for
the future without much more delay; but now
is the time to set about securing the land.

A SIGNIFICANT INCIDENT.

The visit which the inspectors and captains
of police paid TO General Greene at headquar-
tiers yesterday was an exceedingly interesting
occurrence in the history of the department
They gathered there for the purpose OF present.
ing 10 the Commissioner testimonial express
ing their "iust appreciation Of his ability and
integrity" and their profound respect" They
might have offered him such assurances pri-
vately, but they wanted TO put their sentiments
on record in a permanent form and TO make the
public the witness OF their action A hope OF
favors to come often inspires praise and pro-
LESSONS OF devotion, but no such motive can De
suspected in this instance The men who Will
he subject TO his authority only a couple of
DAYS longer have no selfish reason for paying
this tribute to General Greene. After jan
uary / he will have no power to help or harm
them. During the next two years he viii not
even be able to exercise the influence which be-
longs to a distinguished citizen in private life
for he is going TO live In Buffalo. They were
not simply keeping up unmeaning tradition
for their action was unusual, If not entirely I'M
precedented It must have meant just what 1T
purported TO mean.
Such a proof OF regard and good will on the
part of men who have had the best opportunity
Of estimating his character must be exceedingly
gratifying to General Greene, and we cOngratu-
late him on its possession. But its public sig
nifcance is what makes the incident worthy OF
comment The Commissioner has not been
lax, complacent chief, under whom service has
been easy and comfortable. He was fully Jusd-
fed in saying to the inspectors and captains: Il
have never been suspected OF trying to curry
favor with the force, or attempting TO win
popularity by any improper means" The vol
untary tribute of subordinates to commander
who has enforced a rigorous discipline in the
public interest contains welcome evidence Of
their own fitness for the places they hold. 1t
goes far to confirm the belief that the police
force has been terminated with a loyal spirit
during the last two years and to encourage the
hope that it will choose to maintain the present
standard under General Greenes successor.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1903-12-30

and the calling forth Of them and stimulation Oh
them must be accounted as by no means the
least of the good results Of the Panama episode
They are gratifying not only because OF their
assurance Of good win toward the United
States, but also because Of their promise OF
better things for our southern neighbors. we
have for many years been urging that the pest
way to uphold the Monroe Doctrine Is to cult
yate close commercial, financial and pohucal
relations with those States. 1t is equally true
that, If any OF those States have fear, how
ever idle, that the United States will one day
oyershadow and seek TO control them. the best
way TO dispel it is for them to emulate this
country in political stability, in ordered growth
and in general progress in the ways OF civiliza-
ton. 1t will be a noble achievement II the
sharp lesson which has been read TO them ut
Panama shall instruct them and inspire them
to such a course.
