IRRIGATION AND BODYBUILDING

Many factors are conspiring for the
upbuilding Of the Lewiston country at
this time, but 1t can easily be demon
strated that the irrigation of several
thousand Of acres Of land in the val
ley Is chiefest of these, and this Is
true mainly because 1t aids to support
an increased population.
Anywhere from 10000 to 10000 acres
OF land in a radius Of ten miles Of
Lewiston are within the next two years
to be put under irrigation systems, and
the present value Of the land will be
increased tenfold, and not only that
but the land will support 100 times
cut into small holdings Of five and ten
acres, and each of these small tracts
will support family more easily than
q quarter section OF the land now does.
The whole nature of the agricultural
industry In this country will be
changed. There will now be intensive
cultivation and a wider range OF pro-
ducts and new industries, directly al
He'd with this class Of farming will at
once spring up.
There Is no doubt that dairying will
become an important factor where 1t Is
now merely an incident among the in
dustries of the country. Multiplied
acres of orchards and vineyards will
mean also wine making and fruit pre-
serving industries with employment for
many who will make their homes here.
In this connection the fact that the
irrigation plans Of the big companies
also include the development Of power
for manufacturing purposes Is Of great
Importance, for certain lines Of manu-
facture are sure to develop as attend
ant parts Of great irrigation PROPOSE

Every common wealth needs a prison
system. California has prisons but no
prison system and it is time that pro-
gress We're making toward the evolu-
ton Of such a system of prisons and
reformatories as will be a credit to
our progressive state.
The need for a prison system is that
the more criminal classes may be sift-
ed out, the one from the other, all
the way from the truant boy down
to the confirmed, congential Of profess
sional criminal who will live no other
parental schools. reform schools, an
adult reformatory and a state prison.
The state reformatory should be a
trade school within prison walls and
under prison management. The
trades taught should be such as are
generally followed in the common
wealth, and all persons should be COM
mitted to this reformatory who can
not be classified as congenial or prpo-
fessional criminals and without much
regard to age. The discipline should
be severe rather than lax and the work
done should be productive as far as
consistent with the fundamental policy
of making the institution a school for
the moral, intellectual and Industrial
education Of the prisoners.
The state should, in my humble
Judgment, be factor. 1t should come
as near as practicable to producing the
range of commodities produced in the
state at large, and it should be sup
piled with up-to-date machinery so as
to produce to the best advantage Then
it should market it's produce at and not
below current wholesale prices, so far
as 1t is found necessary to market them
at all. State institutions would prob

Believes Prisoners Should
be Worked in Factories.

ably consume the entire output if the
range were made wide enough to cover
substantial needs.
AS to the prison management one
fact stands out pre-eminent. Inc
board of prison directors must De con-
tent to confne itself to a determination
of general policy and must leave the
warden free to select his KIND OF peo-
nile to serve as his subordinates. In
no other way can any prison be sue
cessfully managed.
have in mind only two or three re-
forms to suggest for the management
of reform schools in California. think
that there should be, both at Whittier
and lone, more Of the educational ele-
ment in the industrial work. I think
that the school at lone, at least, should
be made trade school for the instruc-
! ton of the inmates up to the grade OF
an advanced apprenticeship / think
that manual training and nature study
should dominate the school at Whit
tier, with a strong leaning to the ag-
ricultural and horticultural side.
As for the girls school at Whittier
I am unqualifiedly of the opinion that
the state should either go out of BUSH
ness of undertaking to redeem way
ward girls or establish state school
for girls somewhere else and under the
superintendency of some thoroughly
capable woman-some woman with
force of character and personality at
once attractive and commanding.
The girl reared among brambles not
only needs transplanting and cultivat-
ing, but she needs sympathy and fell
lowship and a boundless love. l &c
not think these things can be had for
her at Whittier.

College Prospects Encouraging.

Moscow, Idaho, Feb. 2O.-According
to a statement made by E. Kaufman,
prospects for obtaining the Swedish
Lutheran college. to be erected at some
point in the Columbia Conference are
decidedly encouraging. Mr.. Kaufman
and Rev N. J. w. Nelson were appoint
ed by the Business Mems association at
their last meeting to thoroughly inves-
tigate the proposition and to receive
tenders for desirable sights.
1T is indeed gratifying to note the
encouragement we have received even
thus far" said Mr.. Kaufman.

RECEPTION PLEASING SUCCESS
Methodist Church in Lewiston Now
Has Membership Roll Of 421.

The reception given to the new men,
bers In the NJ. E. church last night was
one Of the most fully attended affairs
ever held there. 1t was success from
every standpoint. The program made
up of musical and literary selections
was well rendered.
The various departments Of the
church, the Sunday school, the Junior
League. the Intermediate League. the
Epworth League, the Ladies' Aid So
ciety, and the official board were all
represented in creditable manner.
The Epworth League served from a
large punch bowl on the east side Of
the church. and the Ladies Aid society
served coffee and cake on the west side
1t was realized last night how much
the church Is in need Of a large base
ment, such as 1t is expected will be
templated to be begun soon.
The number Of new members taken
into the church last Sunday. and for
whom the reception was planned by the
pastor, is 211. This makes the total
number now In membership in the
church after all deductions have been
made, 421. At this rate Of increase the
present building will not suffice to care
for the people until the new building is
erected, and for special revival pur-
poses 1t Is entirely too small now The
new building 1t is expected will seat
1000 people.

MAKE SPECIAL
WARRANT FUND
Money for Shoshone Will Be placed in
Redemption Fund.

tomorrow, II there Is. no further
hitch in the proceedings, the county
commissioners will order the issuance
of the $4,000 in warrants to pay the
sum adjudged to be due to Shoshone
county from the annexed portion re-
Gently added to Nez Perez The COM
missioners met in adjourned session
this morning with the Shoshone war
rant matter as the principal order of
business.
County Attorney Grow was present
and the matter was gone over in de-
tail and the method of procedure de-
termined. A new fund Is to be created
to be known as the Shoshone Redemp-
tion fund warrants and they are to be
paid out of a special tax levied against
that portion Of the county recently an
nexed.
Auditor Lydon was instructed Ia
provide himself with a stamp 30 that
he could designate on the face OF the
warrants the facts above stated so that
future purchasers or holders of the
warrants could be appraised fully Of
the conditions under which they were
issued.
Protest Saloon License.
In addition to the action on the war
rant question the commissioners had
under consideration the granting Of 4
saloon license to william c. Boyd, who
wishes to open a place In Winchester.
There was protest filed to this and
the protestants rely upon the statute
that says no saloon shall be established
Within Ave miles Of any public work
where 20 or more men are employed.
! Those who object recite the fact that
saloon at Winchester would be with
in Ave miles Of saw mills that employ
more than that number Of men. But
the opinion handed down by the county
attorney Is that the statute does not
contemplate such a construction az
that put upon 1t by the DIRECTORS and
that saw mill Is not a public work in
the sense Of the statute.
Right Of Way Matters.
William H. Dew appeared before the
commissioners and made the plea that
in securing the right Of way across In
dian 'Allotments that It was not enough
to secure the consent of the Indiana
but the4 the consent Of the department
was as. necessary for this a. for the
right ot,way for a railroad. and that in
his opinion that the commissioners
were laying themselves liable in pro-
ceeding al they have done in the past
without the consent OF the department
at Washington. The matter WAS taken
under advisement but the prevailing
opinion. seems to be that Mr.. Dew has
taken too close a construction Of the
matter.
