1.-THE soil is richsr-it is a richer
country than the Palouse country.
1t will be a more thickly populated
agricultural country than the Palouse
country"
This was the statement made yes
terday by General Freight Agent R.
B. Miller, of the o. R. & N, in COM
menting upon the natural wealth of
the Nez Perce and Camas prairie
section of the Lewiston region. Mr..
Miller returned Wednesday after
noon from trip to that section and
ne departed yesterday afternoon for
his headquarters at Portland. He
was just taking the train for the
north yesterday afternoon when seen
by Tribune reporter and question
ed as to the object of his visit here
at this time.

significance. General Agent Mount

east of Lewiston. II was my first
trip there. tits a great country. 1t is
big and it is rich. It seems that
every foot Of it is producing some
hing or is capable of doing so. ri
consider it an ideal dairying country.
There is perhaps no better dairying
ountry in all the northwest. The
oil is too rich and the advantages
DO great for big farms to be main
aimed there. It will be cut up into
mailer tracts and no man will be
andling more than 100 acres. 1t
Ill become a very, very thickly b
'pulated agricultural country" :
Mr.. Miller states that he was i
Irprised to learn that the rainfall :.
the Camas prairie district reach q
thirty-nine to forty inches annu- % %
ly. "With such a rainfall and q
Oh soil, it is not 50 surprising that CO

THURSDAY. JUNE =. 1908

The Herald is glad to announs
this week that 2. A. Johnson
ready and will build railroad fror
Nezperce to the Grangeville branc
of the<Northern Pacific road at
point somewhere west of here AM
work will be commenced on tn
same in few days. There IS littl'
doubt but that the road will be com
pleted in time to haul off the croE
from this section of the country
this fall. The certainty of the road
being built depends upon one and
only one condition which will be ex-
planned and will be easily, and We
believe gladly, met when the time
comes for it to be done. The fact
that Mr.. Johnson says that he will
build it means that it will be built
as he is in the habit of doing what
he undertakes. He first built a
-four mill here. Next be put in as
good system of electric lights
as can be found in any. town in the
state, regardless of its size. Next
he gave Nezperce the finest water
system of any inland town in the
United States and now he comes to
US and says that be will build us a
railroad and that he will not wait
year to do it. This last and the
greatest of his undertakings is by
far the most important to all of US.
While his former enterprises we're
confined to the town and were of
more benefit to the town than the
country, the building of the railroad
viii be alike beneficial to the town
and the country. 1t means that
every farm from FIVE to ten miles
from Nezperce will be worth from
one to three thousand dollars more, |
whether the owner wants to sell |
them or not. It will be the end of |
grain monopoly land every legitimate
warehouse company or independent
buyer will have an equal chance and
any grain company that tries to shut
out legitimate competition viii be
compelled to abandon this field.
In this way the farmers will be able
10 realize several hundred dollars
more annually out of their products
than they have in the past and the
homeseeker who has been trying to ,
ret a location nearer the Northern
'acifc road will be much more =
ager to get home in this section =
here be knows that he will be able
get for his products what they :,
re worth. The building of the :.
lad by Mr.. Johnson will be worth :,
Iuch more to all of US than it :.
ould have been had it been built -

cuss YOU blind for the same item.
Then you meet a man who diffuses
sunshine, and still another who
would, if he could, keep you in a per-
petual state of gloom. It's great.
The only wonder is that there are
not more fellows at it. Another in
ducement is that it is money-mak-
ing proposition. The surest on earth.
All newspaper publishers are wealthy,
you never heard Of one being in the
poorhouse or going hungry. Neither
do they go to jail (the lord only
knows how they keep OUT. Some of
them go to congress and some to the
dogs, but you never saw one who
failed to stand up for his town, his
country and his state. Their papers
are often referred to as dirty sheets,
but every man In the community asks
favors of them at some time, and
they always get them. ITS funnier
than circus.

Mastsr and Servant.

When one man or few own the
machinery by which the many must
work and from the product of which
the many must live, then the wealth
produced belongs to the owner of the
machine. He is the master, and the
many workers are subject servants,
are paid in wages and kept in pow
erty.
When wealth is produced for sale he
who has nothing can buy nothing, and
he who has but little can buy but lit
tie. What can be sold is the measure
of what can be produced, and want ar
rests industry instead Of increasing its
activity. No attempt is made to sat
tsfv need. and poverty is perpetuated

Perhaps one of the most important
Industries which has located at Ken.
mare will be the creamery, this insti.
tuition is now assured, as all except
$500 Of the capital stock has been
subscribed. This will give our farm
ers a cash market for their cream,
bringing cash into their pockets every
month in the year. Enabling them to
pay cash for the greater part Of their
living. The merchants can then dis
count some of their bills and be able
to buy their gods at a reduced figure,
thereby selling cheaper and making
the same profit for themselves. But
the most important thing is that
