Voice of the People.

Mineola, No., May "a, 1904.
Mr.. EDrToR;--I was very favor
ably impressed with a few thoughts
published on good roads, In the
last issue Of the TRIBUNE. Since
| have been watching the road
system in Montgomery county for
the last forty years, with the X
ception of n few small bridges and
culverts, and now and then a load
OF rock In a mud hole, | fail to see
any material good In the present
road system. The roads are get
ting worse every year, and there
is from three to five months every
year when It Is almost impossible
for a loaded wagon to get over
them. Why not make a few miles
Of rock road where 1t will be the
greatest benefit to the greatest
number Of people, say from Min
cola to Montgomery City. There
lie plenty OF rock within a few
hundred yards OF the road bed,
and | suggest that every foot of
road should be made good that Is
gone yer II there Is only one
mile made In a year, or one
hundred yards, 1t should bc rock,
and when We say rock we want a
road that will stand the washing
rains and all the tranic Of the
public until Gabriel shall stand
with one foot in the sea and the
other on solid ground and sound
the trumpet that shall wake all
nations of the earth. There il
rock enough in this great state to
build n rock road around the
world. Let us get out Of the old
ruts of fifty years ago, once in a
lifetime. N. a. GIBSON.

kane than all other influences com
bined.
The resolutions are wound up asking
congress to enact such legislation as
will give to the Interstate Commerce
commission power to correct or change
rates at their pleasure after full hear
ings have been given to parties in
terested.
The communication sent to the Com
mercial club and read at the meeting
is herewith published.
Spokane. Wash, Feb. %, 1904.
Commercial Club, Lewiston, Idaho.
We beg to call to your attention the
pressing need of better freight rates in
the development of the great natural
resources OF the Inland Empire.
While the railroads have done a
great deal for the development of the
great Pacific Northwest, their persist
ent refusal to grant to the interior
country fair consideration in the mat
ter of freight rates not only has taken
from the people the advantages to
which their location justly entities
them, but it has done and is doing
more to retard the commercial inter-
ests of both the farmer and the mer-
chant than all other factors combined.
This is not only true of Spokane but
every town or community in eastern
Washington, Northern Idaho, or the
United States where the violation of
the Interstate Commerce law is prac-
ticed by the railroads by charging a
higher rate for short haul than for
a long haul. 1t has been demonstrated
time and time again that our only hope
is national legislation.
The Spokane Chamber of Commerce,
backed by the Shippers association,
has taken up this matter in earnest and
proposes to fight 1t until we can get re-
lief. Some months ago a committee
was appointed, resolutions were adopt
ed. and the work of giving all assist
ance possible to the executive commit
tee of the Interstate Commerce law
convention is being actively carried out
i'm II quiet way.
The refusal of the traffic managers of
the North Transcontinental lines, at
their recent meeting at Chicago, to
grant any concessions asked for by the
shippers of the Inland Empire but con-
firms our contention that nothing is to
be hoped for from the railroads and
that our only recourse is by strength
ening the power of the Interstate Com
merce commission.
We enclose copy OF the resolutions
heretofore adopted by the Chamber of
Commerce which will be self explana-
tory, If you have not already done so,
we would recommend that you have

SPOKANE SEEKS ASSISTANCE
FROM LEWISTON ON Rates
Commercial Club Appoints Committee to Confer
With Shippers as to Status of Their
Interest in the Question

Last night during the meeting of the
governing board of the Commercial
club communication was read from
the Spokane Chamber of Commerce in
which they urge united action I'm Sc
curing national legislation which will
give to the Pacific Northwest fair and
equitable freight rates and such other
legislation that will be conducive to
the interests of the Pacific Northwest.
The letter is more particularly
communication which is sent out to
the various organizations of the Inland
Empire for the purpose Of securing aid
from other cities in the vicinity of Spo-
kane which will help that city in their
fight for lower freight rates that are
now being inaugurated against the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
railways. The shippers of Spokane
have combined against the northern
lines and it is stated that they have
pledged themselves or have their ship
ments from the east come to Spokane
over other lines and viii continue to
do so until some action Is taken where
by rates on certain commodities will be
fixed so that Spokane may compete
with Portland and other coast cities.
The governing board listened atten-
tatively to the communication and the
set of resolutions accompanying the
letter after which the various members
discussed the matter at some length.
The inference is drawn that should
Spokane be successful in securing ter
minal freight rates from the east over
the lines in question that Lewiston will
secure identically the same benefit.
With this understanding the chairman
appointed +. w. Kettenbach, f. p.
Doris and A. S. Stacy to confer with
the principal shippers int he city and
investigate the conditions suggested in
the letter and resolutions and report
at the next meeting OF the club.
The resolutions which We're read are
those recently adopted by the Spokane
Chamber of Commerce and constitute
n number of paragraphs in which the
chamber acknowledges the great bene-
fits of the famous so-called Elkins bill
passed by the Fifty seventh congress,
which Is AIMED to prevent discrimina-
lions between individuals by departure
from published tariff rates or receiving
rebates of any nature. Also protest
against the discrimination in railway
rates against Spokane as compared
with the so-called Pacific coast tor
with so-called Pacific coast terminal
points which has done more to retard
the growth and commercial import
ance of Spokane and the development
of the rich natural resources OF the
entire Interior country territory to Spo-

VALUABLE
MICA DEPOSIT
AccidentIy Uncovered Near Middle
Fork of Clearwater By
a Lewiston Man

The latest acquisition to the display
in the Central Idaho Mining bureau is
a fine sample of mica sheet presented
by ]. f. McGillivray. Mr. Gillivray
happened on the mica by accident
while looking Yer a timber PROPOSE
ton on the middle fork of the Clear
water few weeks since. A rock slide
had dislodged a large pine tree on
hillside and the mica was found cling
ing to the roots by which it had been
lifted from a depth of six feet Mr..
McGillivray removed all traves of his
discovery and last week visited the
place again when he did sufficient tun-
neling TO convice him of the value of
his find.
When asked by a reporter regarding
his find Mr.. McGillivray said:
"The deposit lies close to the sur
face for a distance of at least fifty
yards and carries a width of about
three feet on top-the mica lies in
book form octagonal shape and about
six inches in diameter affording clear
cuts four inches square. If there proves
to be no mineral stain in the sheets I
have got a good thing as I have ar
ranged an even split with the holder
of the land, but it all depends on the
quality. Mica, You know. is used
mostly now for electrical work, and 1t
can be utilized in pieces as small as
IL by ~ inches. which sells on the
market at $125 per pound. while 10
inch square commands $3.50 per
and to be of value must be free from
mineral stain which would. of course,
make it conductive. ] have sent some
samples for testing.
The discovery of mica in this locality
may be of immense Importance to the
interests of Lewiston valley and if it
is demonstrated by practical tests that
the mica is of good quality and can .be
marketed it will be the means of OPEN
ing up a new industry not heretofore
contemplated in this section.
1t is a well known fact that mica de-
posts are numerous in the section of
the country near Troy. but no finds
of any amount have been recorded
from this immediate locality. Mr.. Nc
Gillivray is to be congratulated on his
recent find and it is to be hoped that
development of the property will show
it up in large quantities.

was called upon to make speech.
There were many distinguished states
men and several diplomats present.
Naturally the governor discussed the
military and labor troubles in Colo
RADIO, and the great hit in his speech
was the statement that he had Just
received a dispatch from Acting Gov
ernor Haggott to the effect that he
(Haggott) had just issued an order
withdrawing military rule from every
county in Colorado and that the civil
law was now supreme in every county
OF the commonwealth.
Now, the fact is Lieutenant Haggott
sent Governor Peabody no such dis
patch and none that could be con-
strued into it, II he had he would
have wired falsehood, for no such
change had occurred. Military rule in
Colorado occupied the precise status
it did when the governor departed ior
Chicago and for some days before.
Lieutenant Governor Hagott was
seen by a reporter and this is what
he said:
Il sent no dispatch to Governor
Peabody yesterday containing the
statement that | had issued proc
lamation declaring military rule off in
all the counties of Colorado ! merely
wired him that conditions were I'M
changed since he bad left the state.

jaDanoso Industry,

The manager of the Eikoko Shogyo
Zisshi, published at Toxic, in re-
cent communication received by the
department of commerce and labor at
Washington, says:
when the RuSsO-JaDanese negOtia-
tons were broken off and the HOSTILE
ties were opened between these two
powers we feared that a great panic
would occur in our economic world
and our commerce and industry would
be upset to a large extent, the whole
energy of the people being concen-
trated on the war. But this turned
out to be false fear. The war does
not so much affect our trade as we ex-
pected; transactions are done very
smoothly; stocks which suffered from
fall for short time have risen
again to their prices, and factories ELI
joy their usual profit. Nor does it
make our people SO greatly excited as
you may think, though we japanese
pride ourselves on being the most pa
triOtic nation on earth. At home, our
conversations are as merry and in
nocent as ever and in the street we
see nothing /warlike except noisy
newsboys delivering specials OF happy
tidiDgs in the form of our brilliant
victories both on land and sea. Bus
mess men and laborers are calmly at
tending to their own tasks, and there
is no excitement among them. In fact,
our people seem to rightly understand
that it is all important duty on their
part, especially at this juncture, to
apply themselves to their business
with as much assiduity as their SOL
diers do to battles. Such being the
state of things in Japan, however
long the war may last her commerce
and industry will not be much affected
by it; nay, they will continue the
progress they have been used to make
during these past decades"
