An open river from Lewiston to

this great commercial advantage for
the interior OF Idaho Is To bc a reaii-
zation within the present year. II We
can depend upon newspaper reports.
A portage failroad is 10 be construct.
ed around The Dalles OF the Coium-
bia river, which will make that
traffic way free to independent
steamboats,. This will release an em-
pire from the clutches OF the railroad
monopoly. lewiston Is 800 miles
from the sea. and In the center Of
this empire Of wealth The fiieght
burden that has been imposed upon
! this country has no parallel. Only
the richest country ON earth could
have paid the exacted tribute from
It's commerce, and stiil have continu.
ed in uninterrupted prosperity.
/ The Pacific interior has been sub.
\ jeeted to the mercies of transpofta-
tion monopolies more effectively than
any other section or the United
States, from the days OF early railroad
construction. The Erst far-reaching
Nf.lific arrangements were inspired by
| lie favorable conditions OF this inter
mountain region. Oar tributes 10
transportation combinations would
have paape.i1ed any other country
/ I'm the world, The ayrage cost OF
! freight on what we sell as well as cu
what we luy Is more than the first
cost OF production. While IL costs 10
cents To raise bushel of wheat In
the grain belts IL costs ID cents To
ship busbel OF to the coast, only a
fraction OF the distance to consumers.
And the average fright charge on
merchandise lis more than the cost
OF manufacture. IL Is estimated
that 20 per cent OF the freight charges
pal d by us is due to traiIic arrange
ments of the transportation trusts.
The opening Of The Dalles opens a
gate for free commerce for the first
time TO the inland empire between
the Coast Range mountains and the
Rockies. This will make Lewiston
one OF the greatest trade centers In
this empire. Our interest In this
new condition lies In the fact that all
railroads which enter this field must
have connection with Lewiston from
tue fact OF It's Importance as a dis
tributing center. Lewiston will be.
come terminal point In "A transpor.
tation sense and this will make that
city Pacific coast port In a com.
mercial sense.
+ The waterways which diserge from
Lewiston Will all be In demand as ar.
teries OF commerce. The Salmon riy.
er penetrates rich and extensi ve
division Of this empire. The import
ance OF this division should hasten
railroad construction over tile Salmon
river route. There Is a growing de.
mapd for Pacific coast connections
for all interior railroad systems owing
TO the development Of the commerce
In that field. These new conditions

ENGLAND TIED UP BY FOG.
Dismal Pail Spreads Over the Greater
Part Of Kingdom Causing Great
Damage to Business.

London, Dec. 23.-Sdch a complete
disorganization of railroad traffic and
shipping as has resulted from the fog
has been unknown for many years. A
dismal pail spread over the greater part
Of the kingdom, causing enormous busi-
ness losses and threatening to deprive
thousands of their Christmas parcels
Statisticians estimate that the losses In
q single day of such a fog in London
alone amount to fully 100000. Rail-
way traffic, both for long and short dis
tances, was almost paralyzed. A condi-
ton resembling chaos prevailed in the
postal service. Only two vessels entered
the port of London Wednesday, condi-
ton of affairs such as has not occurred
for 20 years. The mouth of the river
was crammed with vessels loaded with
perishable foodstuffs of all descriptions.
The streets of Eondon presented remark
able scenes. Nothing was visible except
linkboys' torches and the occasional
flare of the big creosote lights which the
authorities employ to assist traffic.
Nearly everybody suffered from head
ache, which the doctors-attributedt to the,
fog.

ing like q pair of bulldogs, the gong
sounded the end of the contest and Ref
cree Roche unhesitatiugly placed his
hand on the Californian as the winner OF
the contest. He announced that he gave
the fight to Britt on cleaner hitting and
the greater number of points scored.
The fight was an exemplification of how
much punishment a human being can
endure and not succumb. At several
stages of the fight Nelson was badly
punished, but he always kept gamely
coming up to the firing line, and all
through the 20 rounds he forced the
fighting.

Feels Need Of Respite.

Washington, Dec.- 24.-President
Roosevelt, so far as the exigencies OF

next week, except on matters OF par
ticular Importance. The president e.
poets to spend as little time as posi-

has been under heavy strain, mental

ceiving callers with whom he has dis
cussed scores Of important questions.
In the experience Of the oldest white
house attache no president ever re-
ceived 50 many people in the same
length of time as Mr.. Roosevelt has re-
ceived during the past month. He has
endured the strain with scarcely an
outward evidence of fatigue, but he
feels the need of respite from so
constant demand on his time and
strength, and proposes to take 1t.

THE TRUST EVIL.
Commissioner Of Corporation Tells
How It May Be Effectively
Regulated.

Washington, Dec. 22.-James r. Gar
field, commissioner of corporations, in
his first annual report, made to Presi-
dent Roosevelt Wednesday, recommends
compulsory regulation of corporations
under federal license or franchise. He
| declares after years investigation
that the diversity of corporation laws
now in existence is such that in opera
ton it amounts to anarchy" Here are
the details of the plan he advocates to
remedy the conditions:
"Granting of federal franchise, or
license, to engage in interstate COM
merce.
Imposition of all necessary require
ments as to corporate organization and
management as to condition precedent
to the grant of such franchise or IL
cense.
Requirement Of such reports and re-
turns as may be desired as a condition
of the retention of such franchise or
| license.
"Prohibition of all corporations and
corporate agencies from engaging In in
| terstate and foreign commerce without
such federal franchise or license.
Full protection of the grantees Of
such franchise or license who obey the
laws applicable thereto.
Right to refuse or withdraw such
franchise or license in case Of violation
| of law. with appropriate right OF judi
cial appeal to prevent abuse of power
by the administrative officer" j. u. ~
This bureau, under the direction of the
secretary of commerce and labor, af-
fords the appropriate machinery for the
administration of such a law.
