The Potlatch Lumber Company pro-
missed to build railroad in Latah County.
The same company promised to build
and operate large saw-mill in Latah
County. They promised to pay their
taxes. And from present indications
they are preparing to keep their word.
The company promised Moscow nothing
and from present indications that is
about all Moscow is going to get.

FAST TIME.

Palouse City is, according to the
established records, only some Is miles
from Moscow by rail and from what the
public generally believes, a letter mailed
in Palouse on February 9, 1905, could
be expected to reach Moscow during
the same month, if sent by the usually
travelled route, and Uncle Sam would
feel highly insulted, no doubt, if one
should intimate that with special car
riers at the county seat something like
thirty days would be a reasonable
time in which delivery might be expect
ed to be made to people living within
the carrier district. During the recent
controversy which resulted in the re-
moval Of Postmaster Barton on the
grounds OF incompetency the assertion
was made that the 'incompetency''
charge was the merest fake, and Con-
gresham French and his friends were
accused Of political trickery and
underhanded neaness. Many believe
that those charges against Mr.. French
are true; some-who have never been
patrons OF the Moscow offlce-contend
there was no incompetency. Now, per-
NIT us to recite just what actually hap
pened to letter that was mailed at
Palouse on February 9, this year, and
addressed to p L. circuit, Moscow,
Idaho" On Saturday, March IS, this
same year, it was delivered TO our resi-
dence in Moscow, only four blocks from
the post office. Yet a carrier had made
not less than seyenty-fve trips to our
home during the thirty-seven days it
lay in the office under the nose of Mr..
Barton. The fact that it was an impor-
tant letter made it most agravating,
and entailed a small financial loss, but
we can suffer that in silence. The fact
that non-delivery caused H. H. Hoag-
land, special agent for the Sun Insurance
Company Of San Francisco, to make
special trip to Palouse, and thence into
the country several miles through the
mud is not Of sufficient public interest
TO merit editorial mention. Neither is
the case Of the $4,000 registered draft
which lay in the Moscow Office 81 days,
when delivery should have been made
within few hours of any consequence
to the public, nor the hundreds Of other
cases of rank carelessness, plain incom-
potency, and palpable negligence any
OF the pubhc's business. But when
because o. continued and insistent pro-
tests, the postal authorities finally did
act, and that, too, independently OF any
action on the part OF Congressman
French, and Mr.. Barton was removed,
the opportunity was seized as one worthy
of the attention of such great public
protectors as the North Idaho Star,
and columns Of space, time and energy
expended in an attempt to discredit
Mr.. French and his friends. No accu-
sation has been too base, no insinuation
too dirty, no slur too Shiny or black, to
satisfy the Unsuitable desire OF the Stal
editor to Willy and belttlle every act oil
Idaho's young congressman. And now
that this matter has been finally disposed
Of let not the public worry lest Col.
Shaver cease for even a moment his
vain attempts to emulate the skunk.
He is too full Of spleen and cussedness
to do that, but will, as he has from the
beginning, find plenty OF imaginary
enemies against which to turn his mud
batteries.
