Agriculture in the Pend 0reille Valley

Agriculture in the Pend Orellle
valley is largely in the transition
stage. The early settlers made
their homes mostly in or near the
natural clearings, and lacking
Transportation facilities for other
products, were content to raise
cattle that could be driven out on
the hoof to market. With the
coming of the railroad and steam
boat traffic on the river, dairying
was taken up and a ready market
was found in Spokane for all the
cream that could be produced.
Then more settlers came in, and
the natural clearing being taken
up, the newcomers were obliged to
content themselves with land that
the early settlers considered worth

~ an unwelcome and premature
crisis. The minister's deliberate
slow moving game was brought to q
sudden issue which he was not ready
to face. It had been an essential fea-
ture, governing rule. of his campaign
to avoid any open conflict with the
Prince OF Slavna until an occasion
arose on which both the army and the
king would be on his side. The king
was power not merely by reason of
his cheaply won popularity. but also
because he was. while he lived, the
only man who could crown Stenovics'
operations with the contamination to
which the minister and his ally, Count
ess Ellenburg. looked forward with dis.
tant yet sanguine hope. The army was
with him now, but the other factor
was lacking. The kings pride as well
as his affection was enlisted in his
sons interest Moreover, this occasion
was very bad.
Mistitch was no better than an as
sassin. To take up arms on his behalf
was to light In a cause plainly dis
graceful-one which would make sue
cess very difficult and smirch It forever
and beyond remedy even II 1t came. 1t
was no cause In which to fight both

could not save its favorite. who could
not release Barabbas.
