IF the lewiston -Riparia branch

ed" said ]. w. Kattenbach, a promi-
| nent banker of Lewiston to the East
Oregonian this morning, 81 could ar
rive at Lewiston at o'clock this
afternoon, but as it is, l will go home
by way of Spokane and will not reach
Lewiston until 7 o'clock tomorrow
morning"
Mr.. Kattinbach talks entertainingly
of the prospects ahead of Lewiston
and that vicinity. The coming o. r.
N. branch from Riparia is one of
the most momentous events ever en-
joyed by the city and 1t will mean
great development for the surround
ing country.
Already the Weyerhauser Lumber
company has purchased a mill site
on the Clearwater, two miles above
Lewiston, where half million dollars
will be expended in a monster saw
mill plant as soon as the branch line
is completed. This will mean the
employment of 800 men and the ship
ment of hundreds of millions of feet
of lumber from that city.
Another fact which gives Lewiston
cause for joyful anticipation" said
Mr.. Kattenbach, is that it is rumored
that the Hartman system is back of
the purchase of the Payette & Idaho
Northern road out of Weiser, and
that 1t will be extended to connect
with the Northern Pacific branch
from Moscow. This will give the peo-
pie of northern Idaho a direct line
to Boise City, the capital of the state, |
instead of being forced to come by
way of Pendleton. which makes the
trip from the extreme northern por-
tion of the state to the capital by way
of Pendleton sometime like an 500 |

across the state is but 450 or 500 |

Japan's Destiny.

Chicago, Aug. 7.-(By Walter Well
man I'm preparation for the con-
ference in America, brought about by
the efforts of President Roosevelt,
the statesmen of Japan took account
of the situation as 1t has been chang
ed by the war Their conclusion was
this:
o." We went to war to stop the Rus
sian advance eastward to the Pacific
By virtue of our military success we
are now strong enough to insist upon
a Japanese advance westward TO the
Pacific and beyond. We must set up
a zone on the mainland which shall
continue indefinitely under the con-
troll and that zone shall be the buffer
between us and the activities OF the
western powers. Our supremacy on
the Japan sea is essential to our ma
tional safety. We can secure that su-
premacy only through control of all
the lands bordering upon it. We must
make 1t forever impossible for an ag-
gressive rival To menace our existence
by means of foothold almost at our
very door
America Approves -Japan's Plan
THE American and British govern
ments have been sounded as to their
views of the reasonableness and wis
dom of this principle. America has
no objections; Great Britain warmly
approves. Moreover. the American
government positively favors the es-
Establishment of a Japanese Monroe
doctrine applied to the Sea of Japan.
The United States does this because
such a doctrine, IL once fixed as a liv-
ing principle, would do more than
anything else could do to safeguard
the territorial integrity of China.
Japan's attitude toward the Chinese |
Empire would thus become like that
of the United states toward Central
and South America with the Carib- |
bean Sea as the critical region. In |
other words. Japan would neither |
commit aggression upon China nor |
permit ii.
"The situation as regards Manchu- |
ria is peculiar ana exceptional. Jap
an and Russia have simply exchang- |
