George w. Vanderbilt.

- - - - o - - .
George Washington Vanderbilt. One
of the heads of the House of VAN
derbilt," founded by the famous Com
modore, was born at New Dorp, Stat
en- Island, November IA, 1862. After
receiving a liberal education from
private tutors and at the best schools,
he spent several years ABROAD In travel
and study. Though a man of great
wealth-estimated at $4,000 900 or
more-Mr. Vanderbilt has never taken
prominent position in the world of
society or affairs as have other mem
bers of the Vanderbilt family. He is
a great lover of art and is interested
in philanthropy. Among his notable
benefactions are liberal gifts of land
and money to the Free Circulating IL
brary Of New York City and the New
York College for the Training of
Teachers. In 1898 Mr.. Vanderbilt was

IMPROVEMENT or NATIONAL
WATERWAYS.

The deep waterways convention that
meets in st. Louis tomorrow is the
direct outgrowth Of the idea that the
Improvement Of our waterways is one
of the paramount questions Of public
Interest in the nation today. The con-
gress that meets tomorrow will have
for a specific problem ways and means
to bring a pressure Of public sentiment.
to bear on congress that an appro-
priation may be obtained for a deep
water way from Chicago to the gulf
But it is inevitable that this is but
the opening of decided movement
for the general Improvement of the
neglected waterways of the country.
Since the advent of the railroads the
water transportation Of the country
has been In great measure forgot
ten. But there is every indication
now of decided revival of this kind
OF transportation. The great state of
New York has made a public question
of the Improvement Of the Erie canal
and has received the sanction of the
residents of the state for the expendi-
tur of millions to improve and mod
ernie that great artery of commerce.
Other states have taken up the mat
ter along similar lines, and the present
congress is the result of an attempt
to unity all interests and make a ma
tional movement of the question of
improving our waterways.
Many years ago the government
gave material aid in the construction
OF the Union Pacific railroad, and
when that was done had a specific
contract whereby it might step in and
regulate rates. In these later days of
rate regulation, it is now discovered
that the old agreement holds and that
the government can step in and cut
the rates down to such a figure that
the net profits cannot exceed 10 per
cent upon the cost of the road. Here
is a chance to WELD the big club with
a vengenee which will put the Harri-
man millions in a precarious condi-
ton.

THINK IT OVER.

. . . . .
Talk about the wood trust; there
isn't any. Everybody must pay cash.
With holidays in sight that elastic
currency would come in mighty handy.
With silver sky high it ought to be
easy for our clouds to have silver
lining.
1t is sometimes easier to forgive our
enemies than it Is to forgive our fool
friends.
Thanksgiving day approaches and
nobody has vet said turkey to Senator
Dubois.
For ways that are dark and holes
that are deep the Lewiston streets are
peculiar.
Now is the winter Of our discomfort,
made gloriously sloppy by the showers
that are sent.
The excuse that a man has for
drinking keeps getting worse as the
habit grows on him.
A pessimist may be the prophet Of
the future, but what most Of us need
is smile for today.
The election Is over and the bien-
NAL crop Of bucolic politicians will
now retire from the limelight.
Human knowledge may be limited,
but we have abundant evidences that
there is no limit to human gall
At any rate in speaking Of traves-
ties President Gompers ought not to
forget his recent advent in national
politics
Lewiston evening teller. [volume] (Lewiston, Idaho) 1903-1911, 1906-11-14

you were thinking of the jewelry you
intend to buy this year. Before you
know it Thanksgiving and its turkey
will be gone and the holidays upon
you. Let US suggest that
THE EARLY BIRD
proverb applies to the choice Of jew
elry. Why not come and make your
selections leisurely? Take plenty of
time for choice, because the assort-
ment is greatest now. II you do not
care to purchase at once. we will ar
range to reserve anything you want
till you are ready.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER "A, 1906
---- 49,
WITH A SPIRIT OF FAIRNESS.

The searchlight of public scrutiny
will now be shifted to the trial of the
land fraud cases in Idaho, the open
ing Of which has just begun in the
federal court at Moscow. While Ida
no can hardly rival Oregon in the
scope and magnitude of it's land fraud
investigations the trials will no doubt
be followed with interest and wide
publicity be given to the results.
The legal battle involved will be
one OF the greatest ever fought in the
state and the opening statements of
counsel and the trend Of inquiry shows
that no stone will be left unturned on
either side Of the contest, but it is
worthy OF comment that both sides
are approaching the trials In spirit
Of perfect fairness. and it seems that
the cases will be conducted with less
bitterness than has attended the trials
OF similar cases elsewhere.
In this connection. Judge Beatty's
comment in court and to the jurors
II admirably fitted to allay public APP
prehension that anything sensational
was to be expected in the progress OF
the trials. A fair hearing and just
verdict is evidently all that either side
hopes for in the conduct OF the cases,
and the indications are that both sides
are working toward that end.
