BIG MASS MEETING
FOR next THURSDAY
People of Snake River and Clearwater Valleys
Will Discuss Plan to Build Lewiston.
GrangevilIe Electric Road

Practically all the preparations have
been made for the monster mass meet
ing Thursday at o'clock at the Tenn
pie theater and with the people rests
the fate of the proposed Lewiston.
Grangeville electric railway line the
construction of which will be decided
at that time.
The disappointment felt over the
withdrawal Of the engineers of both
the Northern Pacific and the o. r. &
N. from the field has stirred the peo-
pie Of Lewiston and Charleston to ac-
ton and a joint resolution of the Lew
iston Commercial club and the Clark
ston Chamber of Commerce was acted
on favorably Tuesday night last week
in which the mass meeting as outlined
elsewhere was called for Thursday.
The sentiment most generally pre-
vailing is that the entire Lewiston and
Clearwater vallies are ripe for further
development, but is at this time re-
tarded by lack Of proper transporta-
ton facilities. The feeling of conf
dence in the railroads that more lines
would be built into the affected terri
tories when the legal tangle caused by
the Northern Securities case were

a means of transporting freight to
Portland through independent sources
would be maintained and in addition
to being Of immense value in develop
ing the country tributary would be a
commercial feature not to be over
looked
At the recent meeting of the Lewis
ton Commercial club committees were
appointed to make arrangements for the
coming mass meeting and all those
who are on committees have been
working faithfully in order to have all
the data ready at the appointed time.
Invitations have been sent out to every
town in the Clearwater and Camas
prairie countries to send representa-
tives to the meetings and from reports
already received there will be large
delegations present from every section.
In addition business firms have been
sending out personal invitations to in
dividuals with a result that inquiries
have been daily made of Secretary Cox
of the Commercial club relative to the
matter. An invitation has also been
extended to the Dalles- Cello commits
sion and the Portland Chamber of
Commerce to have representatives at

STORY FROM LEW WALLACE
His Opinion on Fairness for Construo
ton Of Wills

General Lew Wallace" said a resi-
dent Of Crawfordsville, was visited
one day by a rich old man who feared
that, after his death, his will would
be contested by his two sons.
He had his will with him, and he
read it to General Wallace. The lat
ter thought that, here and there, II
was not fair and impartial enough
He suggested amendments. and these
amendments the old man agreed to
make
You see," said General Wallace, al
his friend was taking leave, ut Is al.
ways necessary. IL we wish our wills
to be uncontested. to make them per.
fectly equitable. We should draw ur
our wills with Attila in mind.
"A certain chief of Attila's once died
leaving his property to his two sons tc
divide among themselves. That was q
foolish course. The two sons quar-.
relied over the division for thret
months. and finally. in deadlock
asked Attila to arbitrate.
THE king listened to their story care
fully. He thought n little while. Ther
he said. turning first to one young
man and then to the other:

brother, shall have the dividing of thu
property. but also decide that you, tn,

FACTORY FOR
BOISE VALLEY
A Committee Out to Get 5000
Acres Pledged to the
Enterprise

BOISE, April 2.-The Evening Capt.
tai News says: The preliminary nego-
tiations for the locations of a sugar
beet factory in the Boise valley We're
completed yesterday, as far as Nampa
is concerned, says the Nampa Record
Herald. Mr.. Parkinson and Mr.. j. $.
Jennings We're in consultation with
committee of the Commercial club all
day and an agreement has been
reached whereby our business men will
endeavor to get 5000 acres signed up
among the farmers and property hold
ers for sugar beet culture.
According to this agreemnt factory
will go in this vicinity in 1906 provid-
ing that the full 5000 acres are Sc
cured il not the beets will be bought
and shipped to the nearest factory. and
we will be given to June !. 1906, to
secure factory for 1907.
| The belief is strong that the acre
age for the factory next year can be
secured, and hercuean efforts are CO.
| ing to be put forth to get it.
Mr.. Dewey has placed Thomas Smith
of Nampa c. Hedges of Meridian. and
J.. H. Wood of Star. all experienced
beet men. i'm the field to secure acre
age. and they will be aided by num-
her of other farmers in their respec-
tive vicini'ies.
The great superiority of the beet
crop over the hay crop has been SO
satisfactorily proven by statistics and
the actual experience of settlers here
that farmers quite generally all over
this section expires n Willingness to
try it.
They are all the more ready to &c
this since they can not make IA failure
in the experiment. for the reason tha'
the sugar company will have experts
on the ground TO insure them a, sue
cessful crop the first year. and aftei
that It is all smooth sailing, each yeaI
of course being better.
In Fremont county last year, the mrs.
ve,r the factory was built, 1000 acres
wore nlaced in cultivation. and farm
ers were so successful that this yea
they have contracted 5000 acres. Ih'
crop is not difficult to understand ahe
with experts on the ground can no
; fail
What it is necessary for the farmers
10 do now. is TO take on ,heir eo"'
and get the acreage. Ihe co"'i'a"!
will nut in n factory, that is sure. pro
, yiding they get the acreage.
The whole thing is now up 10 III
, farmers and We believe they VIII d'
