Situated ten miles southwest from Cal
ais, is the village Of spragues Falls.
when the census man visited this
place in 1900, II contained just seven per-
sons. To-day he finds 600 men bnsily
engaged in etis kind Of labor carpenters,
painters, Inatuns, darn builders and Italian
earth-diggers and the one magic word
which furnishes the motive power to push
the men to great exeFtion, is MONEY.
Until a brief six months ago the only
sounds that could be heard in this little
hamlet were the weird scheech Of the
engine on the Princeton branch as il
passed by, the occasional drum of part
ridge, the swish Of deer as II broke
through the adjacent undegbrush, and
boom Of the fails, Maiae's miniature
Niagara, IS thsy tumhled in bold
grandeur on their course towards Barring,
where the waters become cslrner and the
st. croix river runs in tranquil beauty to
the sea.
To-day ths sounds OF the carpenters
hammer, the click Of the Italians pick,
the lusty voice Of the mason, and the bang
OF the bisster's charge make up a common
ssnse symphony which carries delight to
the wage-earners OF this section. The
farmers who live near, see in spragues
Falls a new and good market for their
produce.
Fer three years some western capt.
tslists have been thinking OF building a
pnlp and paper plant at this point. and at
periods Of four and five months. rumors
would BE- current that operations were
TO begin al once, only to be contradicted
a little later. Calais people had about de-
SPARED Of anything being done, but in
February, 1905, work q a preliminary ma
ture WIS begun and now operations sre in
full swing.
The pulp and paper mills will be of
medium size, giving employment to about
six hundred men with an output OF about
Us tons of paper per Gay. The dam is a
substantial structure thirty feet wide nj
base and OF considerable length.
A number of streets have been laid out,
some OF them having the same names as
streets in Calais, Main street and South
street being instances where the new town
has copied after the older one. Then
there are First. Second and Third avenues,
with others 10 be laid out and named
later.
Calais, being the nearest large town to
the falls, will naturally derive a large
amount OF benefit from the new town in
the way of increased sales by dealers in
staple lines like clothing, shoes, etc, and
il is expected many dollars win flow into
the merchants hands from tho up-river
town.
In a stroll over the site OF operations
after work has ceased, one point catches
the eye quickly, This is ssLittle Italy, -
where the 80 Italians are located. Their
diet consists chiefly of Italian bread,
maccsroni and beer.
soon the large trees which cover the
noble saint Croix river will be ground
into pulp and converted into pure white
paper, and perhaps return 90 Us later with
the printed words which convey the noble
thoughts of some modern Dickens, or the
worlds doings a. told by present day
newspaper.

The district attorney refused to lay
the case directly before the grand
jury, saying that it was against his
rule to take cases before the grand
Jury in the first instance. Criminal
prosecutions, he said, must take the
regular procedure of examination first
before magistrate, and if the magis-
trate SO decides, the prisoner is held

What jerome Offered.


/ Mr.. Jerome informed the Standard
lawyers that if Mr.. Rockefeller and
Mr. Rogers desired to criminally
prosecute Mr.. Lawson and his pub
Usher, they would have to appear as
witnesses before a magistrate just the
same as ordinary complaintants.
This procedure would make the
Standard Oil appear before the grand
jury, where no troublesome lawyers
are admitted and all proceedings are
secret, but they would not appear in
public police courts. Therefore, the
plan of criminal prosecution was
then dropped.
Mr. Rockefeller though opposed
strongly by his fighting lieutenants,
then asserted his authority and i'm
posed the policy of absolute silence
and standing pat. He exacted a
promise from them all to abstain from
talking for publication, not even to
give private information that might
reach the newspapers and to take no
open action.

acquiring the narrow gauge of the o.
R. & NJ, the Northern Pacific has
shrewdly made the first step toward
extending it's lines through the Blue
mountains into the Wallowa country,
opening up rich farming and cattle
section that at present lies practically
undeveloped, through lack of railroad
facilities.
A few years ago a route was sur
veyed through the mountains for the
Summerville and Elgin railroad, q
company that has since evaporated
into thin air, but the route surveyed
out, it was said at the time, was sur
veyed up Mill creek to what is known
as Low ridge canyon, a narrow coulee
that affords a natural grade to the
ridge overlooking the Salmon and the
Walla Walla rivers. From there an
easy grade clear to the Grande Ronde
river was found
It has been known for years that
the Northern Pacific was anxious to
tap the Wallowa country, but owing
to armed neutrality Of the Hill and
Hartman interests the building of an
extension has been deferred and the
development of the Wallowa country
by the Northern Pacific would prove
Of untold benefit to Walla Walla.
LAUNDERING interests, which at pres
ent lie dormant, owing to a lack Of
transportation facilities, would be de-
veloped by the construction of a road
through the Blue mountains and the
secure in the Wallowa country would
pass through this city.

Robert e. Lee ana tae ----ra- 1rmy.
The discussion as to the resignation
Of Robert e. Lee from the army of the
United States in 1861 has received q
fresh impetus by the appearance OF
"Recollections and Letters Of General
Robert E. Lee" by his son, r. e. Lee.
Aside from the fact that the book
is exceedingly interesting in that II
shows phases Of the great commanders
character which could only be known
to a member of his household, 1t is
valuable in many respects from his
torical point Of view.
The following Is the full text Of the
letter. dated Feb. %, 1868, by General
Lee to Hon. Reverdy Johnson at Wash.
ington, in which his position with ref
erence to this important matter was
set forth at length:
My attention has been called to the
official report Of the debate in the senate
Of the United States on the 18th inst. In
which you did me the kindness to doubt
the correctness Of the statement made
by the Hon. Simon Cameron in regard
to myself. I desire that you may feel
certain of my conduct on the occasion
referred to SO far as my individual state
ment can make you. I never tntimated to
any one that 1 desired the command OF
the United States army, nor did I ever
have a conversation with but one gentle
man. Mr. Francis Preston Blair. on the
subject, which was at his invitation and
-
ident Lincoln. After listening to his re-
marks 1 declined the offer he made me
to take command of the army that was
to be brought into the field. stating as
candidly and as courteOusly as I could
that, though opposed to secession and
deprecating war, 1 could take no part in
an invasion of the southern states.
went directly from the interview with
Mr.. Blair to the Office of General Scott.
told him Of the proposition that had been
made to me and my decision. Upon re-
Election after returning to my home ]
concluded that ought no longer to retain
the commission I held in the United
States army and on the second morning
thereafter 1 forwarded my resignation to
General Scott. At the time I hoped that
peace would have been preserved, that
some way would have been found to
save the country from the calamities OF
war. and 1 then had no other intention
than to pass the remainder Of my life as
a private citizen. Two days afterward
upon the invitation of the governor OF
Virginia, I repaired to Richmond, found
that the convention then in session had
passed the ordinance withdrawing the
state from the Union. and accepted the
commission of commander Of its forces
which was rendered me-
These are the ample facts Of the case
and they show that Mr.. Cameron has
been misinformed.
It would seem that the question Of
the motives which prompted Colonel
Lee to throw up his United States com
mission and join fortunes with the
Confederacy ought to be settled forever
by this letter.
