Rsvivse Wheat and Cattle Industry

Camas Prairie farmers are convinced
that they will haul their next years
crop to market on the new branch Of
the Northern Pacific railroad. and this
confidence Is squirting them to more
active farming operations than the
prairie has seen in history.
4 Robert Jones, Of the Arm Of Reals &
Jones, was visitor in Lewiston for
few days this week, and he is au-
thority for the statement that there
will be fully one third more acreage
under cultivation this year than there
was large increase over any former
year.
Mr.. Jones is probably better qualihed
to make an estimate Of the farming
operations OF Camas Prairie than any
other man in Idaho or Neg Perce coun-
ties. In his business as dealer In cat
tie and hogs he traverses the prairie.
and in fact the entire Idaho county
regularly. His firm has enlarged It's
operations quite extensively this year.
the present time over 100 acres Of
ground, and are feeding 220O head OF
cattle. which is generally admitted to
be the largest herd OF cattle ever fed
in the northwest.
while we have greatly enlarged our
operations" said Mr.. Jones' there are
many farmers on the prairie who have
done the same. p. f. HAYDEN. who
has been a prominent farmer for a
number of years. has very large acre
site company. who purchased several
hundred acres abont Denver q short
! time ago. have the entire place under
cultivation. Nearly the entire place is
in fall grain now. I believe there will
be twice as much grain raised IN the
prairie this coming year as there was
in the season Just passed. and I feel
safe in saving there viii he one third
more acreage under cultivation"
Asked concerning the condition OF the
so nrominent q nart Mr.. Jones said
"The old stockmen who have made

seem to have reeained their faith in the

MAYOR TIES
NupTIAL KNOT
z. c. kness and Bride, Of 10, Are fos
the Best in Town.

MRS. Smith. do you take this man
to be your lawfully welded husband? p
II do"
"Mr. Kness. do you take this woman
to be your lawfully welded wife,"
II do"
"Then. by the authority in me vest
ed as mayor of the city Of Lewiston.
I pronounce thee man and wife,"
Such was the brief but effective GER
emony Wednesday night which united
in marriage Mrs. Nettie M. Smith and
Mr.. E. c. Kness Mayor Henry Heit-
field tying the nuptial knot.
True to precedent, the mayor kissed
the bride at the conclusion of the cer-
emony.
The happy event took place in the
Bollinger hotel. shartly after half past
eight. The few friends present to wit
ness the ceremony were Mr.. and Mrs.
S. o. Tannahill. J. B. West and George
Tannahill. Mr.. Kness is a well known
business man OF 1lo. and his bride. a
pretty brunette Of scarcely 80 pounds.
She has also been a resident of lilo for
some time.
Mr. and Mrs Kness were the re-
cipients of hearty fluctuations, the
groom generously treating his friends
to the choicest of cigars and refresh
ments.
This was the first time his honor
the mayor and former United States
senator ever performed a service which
made two joyous hearts beat as one.
From all appearances the senator was
the coolest man in the bunch He spoke
| his piece in firm voice, conducting
| the affair in a manner which would
! lead those who were fortunate enough
to be present to believe there Is no
more successful eligible knot-tier in the
city
1t hasn't leaked out yet just what fee
the mavor demanded. but he will con-
cede that it was longer than the GER
emony The groom and the mayor
have been old-time friends for 10. these
many years. and "Wednesday morning
! when the senator heard from the lips
/ of Kness that he was to become ben
edict. he declared it unfair treatmen1
that the wedding should take place
at Ilo, when a case in court made i
| impossible for the mayor to attend.
And here you are going to hire some
preacher you never saw before. wher
7 can do the trick as we'll as any one
and for just as large fee.'
This was too much for Kness. wht
at once accepted the banter. and de
clared he would bring his bride to Lew
iston, provided Heitfeld would perform
the ceremony. The mayor was caugh
souarely He was game though. ant
Is now ready to announce that he will
perform such services at any hour
stipulated fees.
II got permission from my wife Il
kiss the BRIDE" laughed the senate
as he descended the stairs at the con
clusion Of the marriage.

|, Misused Position and DabbIed in Politics. Re-
ported Special Agents..Register Declares
Charges Unjust..GIad to Go

John B. West, register Of the Lewis
ton land Office. has been removed at
the instance Of the interior department.
Mr.. West has been charged with maxi
Ing improper use OF his Office and par
ticipating too freely in politics. and OF
using his official position to give him
power to bring about relinquishments
in contests which he and his brother
had planned. ana Of making consider
able money on the side by this prac-
tice.
The charges outlined against Mr..
West thus far are more of them Of
nature that IL regarded by the de-
partment as criminal, or at least the
special officers Of the government who
have been making the Investigations
are of the opinion that these charges
will be so regarded.
o'Fallon 10 Non.committal.
Special Agent Goodwin and Inspec-
tor O'Fallon, who have been in this
territory making Investigations for
some time, have made the reports
which have brought about the removal,
but Mr.. OFallon, who is in the city
at the present time, refuses to make
any definite statements regarding just
what evidence they have against Mr..
West.
Mr.. West has received no official
dismissal. but the report is known to
be authentic. He regards the action
Of the department as unjust, and in
sists that he is being removed from
office without cause.
Inspector O'Fallon was seen this
morning at the Bollinger Hotel.
II am not in a position to give out
anything on this question" he said.
"The matter has gone out Of our hands
now. and any news regarding it must
come from Washington"
"But it was through you and Mr..
Goodwin that the information was Sc
cured?" was the question put to him.
The inspector smiled at this, but
remained silent. according to his first
declaration.
"Are you in position to give any
of the evidence that was collected
against the land office?" he was asked.
Positively not" he remarked.
$50 far as the charges are made pub
lie is there anything in them of Grim
inal nature?"
Il do not think the government would
construe dealing in ACCOMPLISHMENTS as
anything criminal"
Mr.. O'Fallon stated that he would be
In the city for several days more, but
would make no statement as to what
his work would be from this time on
Mr. West. when seen regarding the
matter, said:

"Of late years coffee has disageed

make me Iogy' and dizzy, and it
seemed to thicken up my blood.
"The heaviest was when it upset my
stomach completely destroying my APP

one Of these attacks, in which I nearly
lost my life, concluded to quit and

ANOTHER LEAK ALLEGED.
This Time it is Tobacco Crop Figures
That are Tho1ght to Have Been
'Juggled."

A Washington special says:
through the receipt of numerous com
munications from the south and state
ments appearing in the press at va
rious times, that the statistics Of the
department of agriculture on tobacc9
were being manipulated in the inter
ests of the so-called tobacco trust,
Secretary Wilson has begun an in.
Quiry into the subject. Pending the
investigation the publication Of the
tobacco statistics of the several dis
triets will be held up, although the
regular monthly figures by states will
be given out as usual
1t was stated at the department
Friday that special agents have been
sent to the dark tobacco districts OF
Tennessee and Kenucky to verify or
correct the departments figures. This
action, Mr. Hyde, the chief statisti-
clan, said, was in Difference to the
sentiment which had been engendered
that the departments figures were
wholly incorrect.
Mr.. Hyde has been given direct
charge of the investigation, which,
lit is believed, will be concluded
within two or three weeks.
Statement by Hubbard.
President Walter c. Hubbard of the
New York cotton exchange made the
following statement Friday:
Permit me to ask you very kindly
to correct Misrepresentation of the
press in regard to my letter to Pres
ident Roosevelt concerning the dis
closures In the department OF agri

the sequel Of any correspondence with
him conducted by my. brother Sam

note was prompted simply by the
recent revelations, and had for it's
purpose solely to make clear state

The Nashville American thinks that
the mercenary spirit Is growing; that
we are tending more and more TO
measure everybody and everything
by money. It pleads for and looks for
ward to a higher standard: We are
living and have been living in period
of wealth-developing Of money-mak-
ing, of industrialism and commercial
ism in which have grown up colossal
fortunes through the development OF
the enormous natural advantages OF
this wonderful country. In such a
period of industrialism success is apt
to be measured by individual wealth
or earning capacity. But we shall
come more and more to understand
and appreciate the true Standard to
estimate men, not in dollars and
cents, but according to their real
worth. The worlds greatest benefac-
tors have been men who lived and
died poor in material wealth. The
scholar, the patriot, the statesman,
the artist, the scientist, the teacher,
the moral exemplar, these in the
greatness Of their work, make the
mere money grubber seem mean1y
