PANAMA FAvORS
LEASE IDEA
Instead of Giving Title to Canal
Strip Her Representatives
Propose Lease

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-The state
department has learned that Messrs.
Boyd Amador and Arosenena, the COM
missioners appointed by the Panama
government to assist Minister Bunau
Varilla in the negotiations of a canal
treaty with the United States, will ar
rive in New York next Tuesday and in
Washington the following day. The
treaty negotiations are expected to be-
gin formally at the moment of their
arrival here It is stated that the Pan
anna government favors the making of
a perpetual lease with the United
States to cover a canal strip ten miles
wide across the isthmus. 1t is argued
that this plan is more polite than the
original proposition to give the United
States a fee simple title to the land,
a proceeding which would go far
toward confirming the suspicious of
some of the South and Central Ameri-
can countries respecting the territorial
designs on the part of the United
States.
Today's report from the isthmus,
from unofficial but reliable sources, Is
to the effect that everything is quiet
there, and there is no indication OF
hostilities with Colombia. 1t is ex-
pected that a call will be issued next
week for a constitutional convention

ON TIE SNOW SHOE ROUTES
Mail Carriers Will Not Have to Carry
Food Supplies This Winter

Uncle Sams mail carriers on the
shoeshoe routes will not be burdened
" ith four-class matter this winter
Last year they carried canned goods
vegetables and food supplies OF all
kinds put up in small packages for the
Thunder Mountain camps, the result
being a congestion of mail matter ana
almost a collapse of the carriers.
Postmaster Silsby at Idaho City has
been advised to refuse all fourth -class
matter during the winter. He was also
instructed to see that the mail sacks
were not too weighty for the carriers.
Only letters and papers will be car
ried on the showshoe routes.
The ruling of the department meets
with the approval of all postal men
thogh it may prove disappointment to
others.

BIG BUSINESS
FIRM COMING
Lewiston May Have a New De.
partment Store in the
Near Future

Lewiston will probably have another
large general merchandise store in the
very near future. representative OF
one of the largest mercantile establish
ments operating in the west was in the
city last week looking over the ground
with a view of ascertainiNg what loca-
ton, if any. could be secured for a
large department store.
The matter was under discussion be-
tween the representative and Mr.. John
p. Vollmer. When seen this morning
by a Teller reporter, Mr. Vollmer was
asked for confirmation regarding the
report He stated that at this time
he was not AT liberty to mention names
or probable location. but that he had
been approached on the matter and
had it under advisement He also
stated that in all probability the COM
pany wanted building constructed,
which would be two-story brick with
basement. 100 foot front by 125 feet
deep. Mr.. Vollmer further stated that
the company would carry not less than
$780, 900 stock. The matter is now held
in allegiance, waiting instructions from
headquarters.
Lewiston is considered an inviting
field for business, by the capitalists of
further evidence of the growing i'm
portance of this city as a leading busi-
ness point.

BOAT PROJECT LAUNCHED
BY PUBLIC ENTERPRISE
O,00O of the $4,000 Necessary Already Sub
SCribed for the New Steamer to Ply
on the Upper Snake

When Chairman w. F. Kettenbach
of the soliciting committee for the pro-
posed Lewiston Navigation company
limited, called the mass meeting to or
der Saturday night at the Commercial
club rooms, he was greeted with a
large and enthusiastic gathering
which had answered the call sent out
Saturday. Perhaps no project in the
recent history of Lewiston has caused
such widespread and favorable COM
ment as the movement to replace the
lost steamer Imnaha, with q larger,
better and more substantial boat to ply
on the waters of the upper Snake river.
The vital business interests of the citi-
zens of Lewiston, are affected by the
recent disaster to the steamer Imnaha
and evidence of this fact is made more
pronounced by the liberal response that
the soliciting committee is meeting.
There seems to be no barrier in the
way of raising the sum of $25,000 the
amount required to build new boat.
The members of the Eureka, Fargo
and Navigation companys has been
very LIBERAL and have subscribed for
$40. 600 of the stock. Individual sub
scriptions of 1000 and $500 have been
made freely by citizens of Lewiston
and Charleston. who have not alone re-
allied the Importance of transportation
to a country that abounds in wealth.
and of vast Importance to Lewiston, II
opened up. but the investment feature
of the enterprise is reassuring in itself.

for the Pacific States Telephone com
pany, arrived in the city Saturday
night from Spokane and now has

Portsmouth, O., in response to message
from Manager Bush. who rendered me
the position of district manager with
headquarters at Lewiston. At this
time | can not say definitely what line
of improvements are to be made in the
system here, but from my general con-
versation with Mr.. Bush l CLEANED the
fact that many improvements are to
be made.
The company realizes that the serv-
ice here has been somewhat poor, and
it is now our purpose to give the public
the much needed Improvement
I'VE have only 450 subscribers here

The meeting was addressed by Mr.. o.
E. Guernsey. who is interested in the
Eureka mines at Imnaha and the gran
ite quarries above Wild Goose. Also by
G.. A. Nehrhood who is interested in the
same companys and by Capt. Harry
Baughman and Engineer Campbell of
the lost steamer. Mr.. Guernsey, in
his address, spoke of the decided ad-
vantage of transportation up the
Snake, to the mining interests of the
upper river section, as well as the bust
ness interests of Lewiston. Among
other things he stated that the con-
clusions reached by the Eureka com
pany were that it was either new
boat with them or the moving of their
headquarters to Elgin, Oregon, which
point would be nearer and easier of
access to the mines of Imnaha; but II
the project of a new boat became
settled fact, they would hold all their
mining machinery and heavy supplies
for shipment on the new boat when
completed.
Mr.. Guernsey's address was practical
in every detail and the fact was
brought out that the Idaho Granite
company. of which he is member,
would agree to give a full cargo to
the boat on it's return trips for at least
period of six months.
He also stated that at the time the
''Imnaha" was wrecked arrangements
were nearly completed that would have
