stopped to consider how many boys and girls could be educa ted, how much pike roadway can be built, or how many libraries, or public institutions can be main- tained with the interest on pub- lie funds, funds that belong to the people-until they get in the hands of somebody else.
 This is indeed a proper sub- ject of legislation, and should not be overlooked. Another one of the most important f;nancial problems, which have confronted the people for long years is the question of taxa ton. How shall we discover the hidden wealth of the state and make the burden bear evenly. This suggests the thought of a new constitution winch IS most important of all.
 Here is hoping that the ses- sion will work harder on these real problems than former ses- sons have done. 1t is time that the representatives of the people were doing something to com mand the applause Of the think ing business men of the country instead of the sniffs and jeers. May we not have a time of az Ony and grumbling and growing but instead a cOOl-headed bus:- ness meeting, whose every act and movement may be read with interest and approval by the great majority of the people Of the state.

THE APPROACHING AGONY.

Not many days hence and the people of Arkansas are to face another session Of the legislature. It has been two long years Slace the like has been before, andfyet it seems but yesterday The v.s- itor to our Capital City can al- ready see visible signs of what is to be. Candidates for various clerksh;ps and their friends are as busy as bees. Wire pulling, trading promising. hoping are the order of the day. Oh, then and there is hurrying 70 and fro and we will all be home m the morning.
 Seriously, there ia much busi- ness Of Importance to be tranS- acted by this sess.on of the leg islature. We have reason to know in the man what suggestions will be made by our new gOVer nor. but whatever he may say, t is certain that the tate capitol building is to be completed, the convict question is to be reckon ed with The probability of a deficit in the treasury and a remedy must be figured out. There are always many ques- tions Of minor importance to be considered. It is to be hoped that just as little time as possible will be spent in special bills of no im- pOrtance to the people at large, and that no appropriation will be made unless it is very Eeces- sary. The universal rule is that public funds are handled too car6iessly. There is not the same business judgment applied to the
 management of public funds that characterizeS the methods of the shrewd business man. Our ac- tual needs, and our ability to pay the bills are not carefully weighed besides what public funds we have hand from time to time in both county and state are frequently used by banks, trust companies, and Individuals, who pay nothing for such use. Does a financier, a business man place his funds where they wild bring no income? Had you ever

Whh the sepSNaaef q fslliesa
surveyors doSn eIons the eleSiszIss
river Id tie vicinity o. spadldins and
Arrow junction, the railroad sitda-
ton is again attracting the attention
Of the people in the Lewiston country
as we'll as on this and Camas prairie.
There has been settlements aad
rumors of settlements between the
Northern Pacific and o. R. & N
companies regarding this territory
during the past ten or twelve years,
but only temporary. TWAS thought
by many when the Northern Pacific
built their line into Grangeville and
announced that this line would be
operated jointly. that the railroad
question as between those two COM
panies was about settled as far as
this territory was concerned. This
belief was further strengthened by
the definite statement of an official
high up in the Northern Pacific COM
pany who stated that the company
had expended all the money in de-
veloping this section of the state
that they we're going to. This
statement had more to do with the
activity of the Nezperce people than
anything else, as they at once de-
termined tat this country should
not remain bottled up by their COM
pany in the way that it had been
done, and soon organized and began
active construction Of the NezPerce
& Idaho road. Since this road is
nearing completion much speculation
mas been rife as to who was financing
il ana from whsncs the money vas
coming 10 build it. with no one but
the manager and the parties furnish
ing the money being able to answer.
The utmost secrecy which is being
maintained on this one question
seems to be a source of more or less
trouble between the other roads, and
may be one of the difficulties now
encountered between the two old
companies in getting their joint oP-
Grating company into effect.
The exorbitant freight and pas
senger rates charged on the Grange
vile branch has also been an i'm
portant factor in lending assistance
and encouragement to other prospect
i've lines. Many of the people living
along that line are more anxious to
see another road built than they
we're to see the present one, because
of the excessive rates charged
These conditions have left an excel
lent opening for a competitive line
in this territory which will no doubt
be taken advantage of in the neal
future by some other road, and this
may be the cause of the surveyors
now in the field along the Clearwater.
There will be some important de-
velopments in the next few weeks In
railroad building, and it looks now
very much like the joint operating
company would fail to materialize,
and if it does. this country will be
supplied with transportation COM
panies the way that it should be,

THURSDAY, APRIL n. 1903


The roaming disposition of many
of the people of the west is one OF
the principal causes of many not ac-
cumulating any property or a suth-
Gent amount to take care of them
when they are unable to work or
take care of themselves. There are
times, AID many of them, when peo-
pie better themselves by moving or
changing from one place to another.
but tn. percentage of those who
worst their condition is much greater
than those who better themselves.
The great snaps and investments
that you read about of some other
place invariably look better and
sound better when you read them on
paper than they do when you go and
see the genuine article. You can
take a photograph of some places or
countries that look very beautiful,
but when these are taken they are
taken especially for their beauty or
for advertising purposes and are al
ways shaped to suit the artists taste
and at the time of the year when the
best view can be obtained. A
stranger might look at the original
many times and never recognize 1t
from the picture-even at the same
tine OF the year and the photo
sszpher himself might fail &c rscog-
n.-e the place at some other season
Of the year.
The descriptions and writeups ot
different countries and places written
by an adept real estate man may be
even more deceptive than a photo
graph. Every country has its draw
backs, some, of course, more than
others, and the only way that you
can know a country is to live there
for a year or more a. least, as you
will not be apt to find out the bad
features of any country from fel-
low who is boosting a place, and the
booster is the fellow that you viii
most likely meet when you 60 to look
over a country with view of invest
ing. We are not knocking the
booster for he is usually good fel-
low and does a great deal of gooc
for a country and is necessary for q
community, and to him should be
given the credit of building up a
poor country as much as to any one
The people of Nezperce prairie are
fortunate enough not to have any use
for a genuine booster as the country
is booster enough itself. IL that is
necessary for any one here to do is
to allow the stranger to look over the
country and it will boost itself, but
manv other places are different.
When you get to a place where
you have to depend on the recon-
mendation of real estate dealer al
together and the country is no assist
ance to him, you had better be a
little careful about your investment.
If you are looking for a snap
or a bargain in an investment
the chances are favorable for the
fellow who is selling to get the bar
gain and the purchaser is the one
who is sold. Lucky buys are usu a.
ly made in good countries and the
fellow who buys land in good coun-
try seldom loses, as the land is ad-
vancing and should he Fay little
more than the market value the ad-
vanc. in land xill soon overcome
this, but # be buys poor place in
poor country is only hope is to join
the boosters and catch anotheI
sucker.

Resolution to Investigate UNCONVENTIONAL

CHICAGO H.. June 2S.-An echo
If the dropping Of Prof. George Bur

conference of Chicago was heard at the

The principal damage was to the con-

building, sixteen stories high. next door
TO the telephone exchange, was among
the buildings damaged Fifteen cables
which control 25,O00 telephones were

OF the theories on which the police are
working, although they are inclined to

some connection with the outrage is
that the refusal of the telephone com
