Especial Telegram to Evening Teller.)
WASHINGTON. D. c., Aug. 22.-t Is
stated In high authority at the state
department that we will not permit
the violation Of the neutrality Of Port
Shanghai by the japanese. Moreover
Admiral Stirling will be expected to see
that the Russian ships either dismantle
or leave the harbor within a reason
able time. The Continuance Of the
present tense situation can not long
be permitted in the interests Of the
face of the world.
Should the Russians decide to leave
the harbor after making repairs, Stir
ling will escort them beyond the three
mile limit. It IL believed however they
will consent to disarmament until the
close OF the war, taking this view of
the situation, the navy department Of
ficials does not believe United States
will become seriously involved.

there will be a line down
the Snake from Huntington, making 1t
possible to transport freight at greatly
reduced cost. The construction of that
line will vastly increase the advantages
enjoyed by Lewiston.
Let us take a hurried review of the
resources. of this region tnat we may
get clearer view of the foundations
upon which the future OF Lewiston rest.
This country ia an agricultural region.
Its great staple is wheat, but 1t also
produces other crops in great abund-
ance. The wheat fields extend far back
across the Camas prairie country, and
to the westward they reach out in
Washington, very considerable terri
tory in the latter state being CONNER
cially tributary to this city. These
wheat fields uniformly produce great
harvests For seven or eight years there
have been very good crops. and the
last two hove been the best in the his.
tory OF the region. This year the farm.
ers have secured Is to go bushels OF
grain to the acre. and 1t IL selling today
at the warehouses at 60 cents a bushel
The growers of this grain were already
out Of debt and had money in bank and
the returns for this years crop will b.
added almost in their entirety to thu
cash resources of the people. One con-
Germ. the vOllmer company, expects t.
handle a total Of 1000, 900 bushels dur.
ing the season.
Another source Of vast wealth To-
the future is that found in the forests
stretching away upt he tanks Of tn
Bitter Root range. These forests arr
almost inexhaustible. and the lumbe
cut from them win pass through tn
Lewiston gateway. When the opel

Rut there is still another great les
son from the figure of an old parent
eagle stirring up her nest. AFTER the
Young birds have once been pusheo
off the eyrie and learned their own
limitations, and also learned TO trust
the parent, then they are ready TO be
taught by the parent birds by OBJECT
lessons. When the eaglet once learns
that IL 1t does not obey the parent

1t has never been my privilege to see
nm old eagle teaching her young now 10
ay. but Sir Humphry Davy, the great
English chemist, once saw this inter

scription of the scene. First, the eagles
followed out exactly the picture OF my
text. The young birds, with fear ana
trembling. cung to the rocks where
they were Matched, but the OLD Dirds
said TO themselves: "This won't do; this
won't do. These young birds must be
taught to fly" SO the parent Dlrds hrst
tried TO coax the young to leave the
nest. Then, when coaxing accomplish
cd nothing. they struck right and lett
with their beaks. With their powerful
talons they scattered the nest. Then
they gave the young big push, ana OH
the fedgelings went. Then the young
were carried back TO the nest by the
broad wings of the parent BIRD. Inc
mother and father birds seemed to stop
awhile to have a little talk. Ihey
seemed to say: Now, children you
must obey me. whether you Will or no
