The upper Clearwater is now en-
joying the greatest exhibition of
bluff ever Witnessed in the great
game of railroad blocking in the
northwest. The only salvation or
possible show for railroad for this
country at the present time is the
apparent determination of Hartman
to fight the N. P. where ever it con-
hicts with the traffic arrangements
of his great system. If Hartman
has actually made up his mind to
possess himself of the trade of this
rich section, which belonged to his
system for thirty years, then two
railroads will shortly be built in this
territory. If the o. R. & N. is only
locating rights-of-way then the N.
P. will exercise its surveyors till the
danger of building is past and the
Clearwater country will again re-
lapse into its former dreamy state,
occasionally awakened by rumors of
railroad building schemes from the
mad brain of Rossi or the annual
of a surveyors gang.

The cruel dismissal of Kuropatkin
the defeated Russian general, after
thirty years of continuous service in
the Russian army, marked by a
steady rise and brilliant record
throughout, is in keeping with the
past administration of affairs by the
Russian Ducal party, which is re-
sponsible for the present demoralized
state of affairs, both in the army
and at home. Instead of sending
the flower of the Russian army to
the front, those in control of the war
department sent the reserves, who,
in many cases, by their inexperisnce
in war, brought on the terrible re-
verses to the Russian army, which
nave marked the campaign Of the
past year. The Gar, now realizing
the mistake, will dispatch the pick
Of the Russian troops to the front,
out military experts believe the op-
oortunity to recover Manchuria has
passed and that Russian arms and |
orestage has received blow from
which it cannot recover during the 1
present war.

Preparations are nov being nal.

has been said in the past both pro
and con about the present city ad-
ministration Mayor Swift. with the
help of the present board, has given
the city an able administration of its
affairs. There has been consider
able talk from some quarters about
putting good men into Office, men
who would do their duty, ETC." Now
this talk sounds all right and COM
ing from the source it does, should
carry weight with the public. The
matter of duty as it is considered by
this class may be easily defined but
not so easily executed. The sup
preston of vice and immortality in
its various forms has been an TN
solvable problem for those in au-
ihority for past generations. These
evils may be placed in check and
confined to the bounds of decency,
but totally suppressed, never. These
people who advocate "ceuncilmen

Washington Letter.

Washington Letter.
On all matters pertaining to the
Welfare of Idaho, Senator Hepburn
and Representative French have
worked in perfect harmony, and on
account of this cooperation Idaho
has Jared fully as well as any of her
sister states. During the session
Just closed there has been an i'm
msnss amount of department work
accomplished for different interests
in Idaho. A number of pension bills
have been passed, and several rural
free delivery routes have been es-
tablished, while a number of appli-
cations are now pending before the
department.
The record. made by Senator
Hepburn during the last congress
has probably not been excelled by
any senator in recent years. His
long experience in the practice of
the law, his vide acquaintance with
public men and his knowledge Of
public questions, together with his
superior attainments as a debater
has 'placed him in the front rank of
the new senator's.
AS chairman of the committee on
manufactures, he has had charge of
the national pure food bili'', and
has drawn public attention to this
measure in such a way that it is be-
lieved that it will be enacted during
the next session, although this sub
Jet has been before congress for
fifteen years.
Soon after he entered upon his
duties he took definite position on
the forest reserve question and Sue
ceeded in having enacted important |
legislation on the subject of lieu
land scrip, which will prevent the
laying of forest reserve scrip on
timber lands, and which will save
some two and a half million acres
Of timber land for actual settlers.

in securing an appropriation of

Columbia river at Cello Falls.
Clearwater river will also be sur
veyed to determine its possibility for
barge navigation. Altogether these
rivers never Jared so well before in
the hands of any congress. This is
very important matter to the peo-
pie of Idaho, as a better improve
ment of these rivers will mean a
saving of millions Of dollars in
freight rates annually.
Mr.. French secured the passage
of a bill turning into the reclama-
ton fund moneys received from the
sale OF material used on temporary
work in construction with irrigation
projects. This money was formerly
turned into the treasury of the
United States and consequently lost
to irrigation. This bill will put sew
eral thousand dollars annually into
the reclamation fund.
A bill to appropriate money for
public building at Moscow was ap-
proved by the committee on public
buildings and grounds, and was by
Mr.. French placed in the omnibus
bill. This bill failed to pass, but
the sentiment in the house is very
strong in its favor, and it is very
likely that it will pass at the next
session. The matter is in good con-
iition and Moscow will get a public |
as soon as any other city |
