In conversation with o News re-
porter, this morning, q well known

PUSH 1T ALONG.

The business men of this town
should remember that they can not
be too progressive. Progressiveness
is what builds up town and attracts
people to it. How can you expect
others to have faith in your town if
you have no faith in il yourself /?
The town that prospers most is the
one where every progressive move is
helped along by all the citizens. A
prominent farmer, while conversing
with us this week, said that this
town should really be receiving
much more trade than it is at pres
ent, and the reason trade was going
away from here was because the
people wish TO see something when
they 60 to town. This reason seems
good to us. The farmer sees practi-
cally nothing but hard work while
on the ranch and it is but natural
that when he goes to town to do his
trading. all conditions being equal,
he will go to the liveliest town so as
to see and be amused while he
spends his money. Now 1--WE do not
mean that Weiser is receiving but
little trade. Far from 1t. Trade is
good here and is equal to and per-
haps better than for years past. But

Governor Chamberlain of Oregon
makes strong reply to the request
sent out some time ago to the gov
ernors of all the states that interces-
sion be made in behalf of Caleb
Powers, convicted of the murder of
Gov. Goebel of Kentucky. This re :
quest is made by an organized body
of citizens of the Mississippi valley,
outside of Kentucky, who think Caleb
Powers ought not to be hung Gov.
Chamberlain not only refused to
comply with the request, but wrote
to Gov, Beckham' of Kentucky, in
forming him of his stand in the mat
ter. The murder of Gov. Goebel was
the most distardly crime ever com
mitted in the United States to further
the political ambitions of few men.
The Governor of Oregon says that
ex-Gov. Taylor, now political exile
in Indiana, should be punished with
Powers for the crime, as the testi-
mony showed that he is equally guilty.
Every state should be allowed to dis
pose of it's own criminals in it's own
way, and the governors of Indiana
have been greatly condemned for not
honoring the requisitlon papers for
Taylor, the murderer, who has taken
refuge in that state.

we mean it can be greatly improved
We have the best location of any
town in this part of the state, sur
rounded as we are on all sides bv
fine agricultural land bounded on
the north by fine mineral and timber
belts and back of that a big stock
range. Looking at the country trlb.
utary to US anyone knows that Wei
ser should have an immense business.
The way to do it is to be progressive.
Push every proposition that will tend
to direct attention to our town, help
along every project that will cause
us to be known abroad, pass up
nothing that will assist in our up
building and soon people will be
coming here from all over the coun
try because Weiser will be known as
live town and they can see some
thing gong on. Nobody likes &c
visit dead town. 1t is in the pro
gresslve towns where the crowds
gather and the money is spent. II
is the duty of every citizen to assist
in making his town as progressive as
possible and by so doing he builds ur
his town and enriches himself. Every
man for himself is poor policy
where the interest and growth of 6
town is concerned.
