LEMONS FOR WOOD.

From the tone of Editor WoodG' last,
we conclude that be has again Teen at
the receiving end of lemon delivery.
Not SO very long ago he was lifted to
the dizzy heights of public notice by
a prohibition orator, who drew vivid
word picture of the colonel's short
comings, publicly proclaimed him to
be loiterer at the shrine of Bacchus
i'm fact dissected him as juicy sub
ject for a sound. logical temperance
sermon, and it is said all frills werein-
cluded in the picture. Instead of con-
siderately sinking out of sight for
few days, the egotistical ignoramus
Haunted his despised personality before
the populace until his position struck
the public mind with disgust like
unto that of the individual who sits
down on big, mushy, fat caterpillar.
Time, the great leveler of incidents,
had scarcely eGaced the prohibition
episode, when the colonel is again
ushered forth into the limelight. This
time it's Free Methodist preacher,
named Denny, and there is nothing left
of Wood-sans egotism. even. The
doughty minister of the gospel left
nothing unsaid. He effeotually puno
tured the Weston EDITORS tarnished
leopard spots, and laid bare before the
eyes of his audience the grilling truth
in all its glowing force of fact. He
demonstrated to tho satisfaction of all,
the evil effects occurring from 200
pounds of oppression in any community
the size of Weston.
The Rev. Denny is farseeing man
and he struck straight from the
shoulder at social obstruction that
has long been the righte GUS cause for
attack in the columns of the Press.
For the good OF Weston, we sincerely
hope that she has wised up to existing
conditions aud that ere this, Wood has
been either ridden out of town ON a.
rail, OF hes sought the seolusion of his
Gardena ranch, where only sand toads
aud ground squirrels will be burdened
with his obnoxious presence.

Every member of the community
and especially every parent should take
deep interest In the public school.
It is not enough to pay your school
tax without complaining, or to know
that the teachers are qualified, nor is
it even enough to keep your children in
school regularly. II you are really
interested in this subject as You should
be, you should visit the school regu-
larly and rersistently, observes the
Waitsburg Times. Few people have
any idea what an incentive it is to both
teacher aud scholar to know that par
ents and outsiders are taking a lively
interest in their work. We believe the
little folks" at school appreciate
such interest more perhaps than the
larger ones. Still the effect is not
lost on any of them, and we hope every
parent will take hint from this and
place the public school on their visit
ing list.

Prof. Walter A. Wyokoff. who died
recently, was the author of 'The
Workers." book on the laboring man
which has rem aimed vital through a
decade of interesting literature on
social conditions. The reason for the
life of the book was that it recorded
the authors actual experience for a
year aud half as working man.
He lived by the labor of his hands in
field, ditch and mining camp; he play
ed the game fairly, and did not help
himself out by money from home" or
checks from his publishers. He knew
what it was to be out of job and "on
his uppers." That is why his mater
ial was fresh and vivid when he re-
turned to the professors easy chair to
write the story of his experience.
Practically the same may be said of
Jack London. Much of his literary
work reflects actual experience of his
life, and "Martin Eden," his splendid
story, now running in serial form in
the Pacific Monthly, is said to be the
result of crumbs of practical knowl-
edge swept into retentive memory,
while bearing the cuffs and hardships
that come with the life of sailor boy.

and that those indulging in occasional
sprees on liquor surreptiouslY acquired
were laying themselves open to social
ostracism. In recording recent
incident at Weston. under the above
head, the Weston Leader pertinently
says:
at doesn't often happen at Weston
now. but the other night during the
progress of dance certain young men
of this town were noticeably affected
by some bottled disturbance seemingly
imported for the occasion. Next
morning the empty bottles lying about
the street gave mute evidence of the
potency of their jag. This sort of
thing is decidedly out of date at Wes-
ton now, which fact they would do
well to bear in mind. To get drunk is
no longer regarded as the outward
sign of inherent manliness. Quite the
contrary. "drunk" is simply look
cd upon as public nuisance, whose
behavior indicates bis contempt for
the opinions of others and his Teckle
disregard of his own good name.
Young fellows who feel that they must
get soused now aud then, would better
ambIe across the line, accumulate and
dispose of their jag, and then come
back soter. To become the hilarious
associate of John Barleyoorn in this
community excites its contempt aud
derision together with certain pity
for the feebl. mind that pei mits itself
to imagine that it is elevated by de-
bauch."

LWAUKEE ROAD
FOR THIS CITY
Extend l., w. & N. to PIummer and

That the Idaho, Washington &
Northern viii extend its line into the
city of Occur d'Alene, and then
build from this city along the west
side Of the lake to a connection with
the Chicago, Milwaukee q st. Paul,
near Plummer, and that close trafic
arrangements have been made with
the latter road by the officials of
the former, is the information re.
ceived by the Press this morning.
The information comes from an en-
tirely authentic source In Spokane
from a person in a position to know,
and is considered absolutely reliable.
The arrangements for the extension
have already been completed, and the
interchange Of traffic arranged for be-
tween the two roads. and work will
commence as soon as 1t is possible
for the management of the Idaho.
Washington & Northern road to make
the necessary arrangements looking
to the construction of the road. The
Idaho, Washington & Northern has
terminal at Newport. Wash. and
the work of extending 1t to Metaline
is now under way, and for some time
1t has been rumored that an extension
would be made to this city, and along
the lake, to connect with the st. Paul
road, but no definite information
could be secured with relation to It
until this morning. BY this method
the st. Paul road will be enabled TO
tap the large timber and mining
country lying in and about lake Pend

be placed on its line. and the North
,ern road be given trafic arrangements
to the coast. II will mean the de-

for the lack Of railroad facilities. and
IT will mean that the city OF Occur
d'Alene will grow and prosper into

the past few years from little VII
iage into her present size. 1t will
mean the bringing into the city Of
industries and manufactures, and
among others the proposed paper
mill, and that Occur d'Alene win be
the largest. and most prosperous city
in the state Of Idaho. II will mean
the revival Of the real estate boom In
the city and stimulate investments in
city lots. and tracts, and land sdjoin-
ing. and those who at the time Of
their investment expected TO reap up
on it but q moderate profit will find
