MINES AND LUMBER.

The Mining News this week received
a copy of the first issue of Chimes and
Lumber" new monthly publication
by the Chamber of Commerce of Spok-
ane, and devoted to the lumber and min
ing interests in the northwest. The
first number is very neat edition In
which nearly all of the industrial centers
in this section are represented by special
letter Of correspondents. In the editor
ial announcing the purpose of the new
publication the Elk City mining district
receives favorable mention. Our
esteemed friend, August Wolf, until
recently assistant editor on the Daily
Spokesman-Review, occupies the editor
ial chair. Mr.. Wolf is newspaper
man in every way qualified to at once
place Chimes and Lumber" in rank with
the best trade journals of its class. He
was at different times employed III high
position on Boston and Quebec news
papers, and before coming to Spokane
was in newspaper work in Duluth, one
of the greatest mining and lumber
centers in America. Besides having a
correct knowledge of the interests
''Mines and Lumber" will represent,
Mr.. Wolf is strong and versatile
writer, with the faculty to present a
subject in an entertaining and convinc-
ing way. Mines and Lumber" we be-
lieve, is the first great publication
whose stated purpose is to promote the
interests of the two industries in this
part of the country.

HONEST EDITORS IN POLITICS

1O1NID GOl1 ONO LIN Ol1 1lOo.
1t is evident the newspaper boys in
Weiser, this state, dwell together in
peace and harmony. Editor F. S. Hard
ing of the Signal has announced it as
his intention to aspire to the Office of
representative this fall, on the demo-
cratic ticket. Avery C. Moore, editor
of the World, a strong republican paper
and one of the best edited papers in the
state, has this, among other things, to
say of his competitor in business:
cit is extremely unlikely that Wash
ington comfy will send a democrat to
the legislature, but such a mistake
would not be quite so deplorable with
Mr.. Harding as the nominee as it might
be under other circumstances. Officially
the Weiser Signal is always the World S
slightly esteemed contemporary, but
that does not alter tie fact that Editor
Harding is a gentleman who would give
Fdignity to any parliamentary body and
reflect creditnupon his constituents be-
cause of his moral worth and mental at
tainments.
Assuming there is no common en-
envy to be. disposed Of in Washington
county, the Mining News believes there
is grade Of honesty in. the politics OF
the Weiser editors that could be emu
lated with profit to the state by all
|
good citizens, The Worlds statement,
at is extremely unlikely that Washing
ton county will send democrat to the
legislature, suggests that the county
has not been in habit Of selecting mer
of that political faith, and this being
true it shows Mr.. Harding to be one d
those rare individuals in newspaperdon
who is not continually whooping 'em VI
for the party with the most voters 81
as to increase his chances for big feet
at the political pie counter.
The party lash is not so keen as i
used to be. The fre-eating politica
speaker has given way before the indie
pendent voter. 1t is no longer Grim,
for your neighbor to hold political opin
ions counter to your own. This is al
era of free thought, and for one to as
pire to public position of honor an,
trust is looked upon by members of op
posing parties as noble and laudabl
ambition.

Some enthusiastic fellow up in Spo-
kane has enumerated the ''factories"
there and finds there are over two hun
bred. And this doesn't include hotels,
professional men, newspaper reporters
or hot air peddlers. Of the latter Ia
coma would be inclined to credit them
with about $1,000, but: We'll give them
the benefit of the doubt and say rs, 900.
Good showing for Spokane.
