TRIED FOR AN

Murderer on Trial for a Crime

CHARLOTTESVILLE Ind, Nov. g.
The trial of James B. Myers for the
murder of J. B. Sloan III Darlington, In
1875. was commenced In the circuit
court today The crime was commit
ted twenty seven years ago and 1t is
peculiar coincidence that the triai COM

stabbed Sloan to death and after his
arrest escaped from his captors ana
fed to southern Illinois. He came back
to this county last August, his arrest

leader as we'll as striking evidence
quite to Mr.. Hanna's ability as a party
of the potency of the republican party
in the nation at large on the general
issues of the time.
Iowa has given a greater majority
for Cummins than he or his friends had
been claiming. Despite the apathy of
the republicans and the activity of the
democrats in Massachusetts, the repub-
licans have held the state by a large
majority. New Jersey is republican on
the legislative ticket, which was all
that was elected. Pennsylvania did not
succeed in getting up any interest,
either in or out of the state, in it's con-
test for minor state officers, but the re-
publicans won by 1900 votes. But
Kentucky has been held by the demo-
Gratis, as was expected would be the
case Nebraska and Colorado have
gone republican by safe majorities.
The general result is favorable to
the republicans. OF course the Tam
many victory in New York city is not
democratic triumph. That town is

straight party vote. Coler led Odell in
it by 122, 900 last November. The fusion
side refrained from all partisan talk
in it's campaign. The republicans did
not claim Lows election in 1901 as
party victory. They would not have
claimed it If he had won yesterday.
Ohio affords the fairest test of the
relative strength of the parties of any
of the states which voted In 1903 Ma
tional issues were at the front from
the beginning to the end of the CAM
paign. Senator Hanna's candidacy for
reelection would have insured d.
vision on national lines If there had
been no other incentive in that direc-
ton. But every gubernatorial CAM
paign in Ohio, even when a senatorship
is not dependent on the result turns on
national questions. Iowa is also good
test of the direction and strength of the
partisan currents throughout the ma
ton. The tide of republican potency is
still at the flood.

LEWIsToN's ADVANTAGES

News that the government engineers
have finally decided on plans for the
Dalles Cello canal and that the money
is available and work can begin as soon
as the right of way is secured is cheer
ing news to Lewiston and insures an
added boom for all of Lewiston's In
terests. With an open river to the sea
Lewiston will be practically-a seaport
town with all the great advantage
that accrues from such a position.
Lewiston will be at the head of navi-
cation on one of the greatest interior
water ways i'm the world. The enor-
nous Importance of the open river
proposition can hardly be estimated.
1t is a ship canal 500 miles long, tap
ping one of the richest sections of the
United States 1t means cheap and
easy transportation to ana from Lew
iston. 1t will make Lewiston the mar
ket and commercial center for the
whole Inland Empire. Manufacturers
located here can ship their products di-
rect to the seaboard for distribution to
any part of the world at a cost that
will make them successful competitors
in all markets. The greatest -four
be located here. Lewiston is in the
midst of one of the greatest wheat pro-
Washington and Northern Idaho di-
rectly tributary to this point produce
now about 10000. 900 bushels of grain
annually. Most of this is now shipped
in bulk to the coast where it is con-
With the open river and direct trans
portation mills located here will man
ufacture -four and ship the manufac-
tured product saving the grain haul to
the coast.
With the open river to the sea Lew
iston win have terminal rates and be
placed on an equality with Portland
and the Sound cities as a commercial
center. The whole territory tributary
to Lewiston will be served from here.
The Wholesale business of the whole
Inland Empire will be held at the COM
nand of the business men of Lewis
ton. This will be the jobbing center
for all interior points and all points
in eastern Washington, Eastern Ore
gon and Northern Idaho win be inter-
Tor points for Lewiston's trade when
terminal rates are given as they will

navigation. With the open river Lew
istofr holds an advantage in the com
merchai development of the interior
country that no city in the northwest
can hope to obtain.

wALLowING IN THE OLD MRE,

The Salt Lake Tribune cannot re.
fraln from lts old tricks, but every
now-ond-ogoIn voids its venom against
the Deseret News and resorts to de-
liberate falsldoati9p, On Wednesday,
evening we said:
"rhe city Council ought to proceed
with measures TO erect reservoirs. aud
In every feasible way endeavOr 20 iE-
crease. conserve and fairly distribute
the waters within its control, for the
benefit Of our growing population"
We pointed out the probability Of
"dry seasons following the present am-
pie water supply" and showed where
an additional flow could be obtained
by boring and where storage could be
secured at small expense. We urged
that while "Salt Lake city Is not like
ly to suffer during the season ap-
preaching from lack Of an adequate
water supply" this should uot stop
practical projects TO provide against
future contingencies and TO secure
future supplies"
The whole tenor and scope of our
editorial was t&hsinulate action at
once Tor future water needs notwith-
standing the good supply Of snow in
the mountains for the present season
We also remarked that Continued
drouth IS not TO be prevented by legis-
lation. nor can the clouds be COM
PEELED TO drop moisture by commercial
or financial combinations
The Tribune thus responds To- our
admonlaons and advice TO the city au-
thoritca:
''The News appears to think that
the abundant snowfall of the present
season settles the water question lur
this city. and that tha city Council
Is In some indescrihable Way 3D. Doc

outlook for a plentiful supply the en-.

truths. and attacks on the city authors.
