The Gard Of Thanks

The publishers of this paper woulc
be the last man on earth to know
ingly say a word to hurt the feelings
Of any of its subscribers or citizens,
especially at a time when the dark
winged messenger of death has
brought sorrows to the home, but
from the best of motives We desire to
call the attention of our readers to
the custom of publishing "cards Of
thanks. 1t is a custom that has out
grown its purpose if it ever had one.
When sickness and death comes to
your home it is only natural that
your friends and neighbors should do
what they could to assist you. They
would be heathens If they did not.
They know by the expression of
your face that you are thankful and
deeply appreciate all they do, and
it is not necessary to rush into print
and tell the world that your neigh
bors we're kind when you we're in
trouble. The reading public are
becoming tired ofthe old stereotyped
'card ofthanks." You can express
% your friends, by look or word
your thankfulness in a more impress

The deal by which the Northern
Pacific and the O. R. and N. Co.
have undertaken the joint construc-
ton of the Riparia-Lewiston branch
and the prairie extension from Gull
desac has been mystery TO many
in view of the bitter animosity be-
tween the Hill and Hartman factions
and the recent maneuvers of both
companies increase the perplexity of
the situation. The Northern Pacific
construction along the north bank of
the Columbia and into Portland, the
establishment of permanent surveys
and the procuring of rights-of-way
by that company along the south
bank of the Snake from Lewiston to
Riparia and thence on the north
bank of the river to Ainsworth to
connect with the Hunt road to Pasco
would indicate that this company
means to finally play an independent
hand and complete their plans begun
about eight years ago, to steal the
great and fertile territory known as
the Lewiston country from the o. R.
& N. Co., who have long claimed it
by birthTight. But while all of this
maneuvering is going on the o. R.
& NJ Co. has at last apparently
awakened from its Grip Van Win
kle'' sleep and is getting busy. 1t
is well known fact that the o. r.
& N. officials accepted the Culdesac
route to the prairie with great reluc-
lance, as they have always favored
the Big and Little canyon routes,
and their several corps of engineers
along the south bank of the Clear
water between Spalding and Peck is

no class of men who SO nearly repre-
sent the trend of thought and who
stand loyalty for all that is best in
their respective communities as the
newspaper man. From the birth
notice to the obituary they are the
friend of the infant, the youth, the
middle aged and those whose sun is
going down in the west and for them
scrap books are kept and by them
filed. Their true mission in life is
to supplant tear with laugh,
frown with a smile, storm cloud
with rainbow. The first notice
given the world of the stork's visit
is by the newspaper man, the last
sad days of life are frightened by
his words and his pen softens the

Expectations for record-breaking

being fully realized. Jobbing and
wholesale houses are doing well for
the season. but reports of mercantile
collections shay much irreguIarity.
improvements i'm the promptness OF
payments is expected when the crops
have been more fully marketed and
greater ease appears in money rates,
which are far above normal, despite
. the fact that the total amount in
circulation exceeds all records. Very
little idle machinery is noticed in
tho factories and mills, except where
the supply of labor and raw ma
terials is insufficient, and the vigor-
Gus demand for all commodities is
indicated by the highest level of
prices in recent years.
Textile mills are opeating a large
percentage of the available machin-

of labor continues to be drawback.
