RATHER NOT RUN FOR 1T.
Lewistonians Prefer Drawing to Sprint
ing for the 5000 Tract.

When the announcement of tbe
throwing open of approximately 5. 900
acres OF Nez Perce Indian lands in
the reservation to settlement July 1st
was made, and that the same would
be raced for in Oklahoma style. the
fteetest footed sprinters to carry off
the plums, the Lewiston Commercial
Club demurred, and at once filed OBJ
Jectlons in the way of a vigorous pro-
test, with the land department at the
national capital, setting forth many
good reasons why such scramble
should not be INDUCED in by such
dlgnihed people as the Idahoans. The
objections raised are valid ones. and
are recognized as we'll founded by
every person who engage in the land
races in the southern country from
1889 down to the last one, many years
later. Such course is productive of
endless litigation, and is an imposition
upon all honest participants who are
seeking homes.

IDAHO THE LODESTONE
Northern Pacific to Expend $16,-
100000 in Two Years.

1t is insisted at Boise that the sale
of the P. & |. N. road to the Hill
interests is sure 90 and that the sur
vey from Evergreen to White Bird,
with maps and data have been sent in
to the n. P. at St Paul. The plan,
it is claimed, is to extend this line
across Camas Prairie to meet the road
to be built from Montana through
Lolo Pass, which will be the great east
and west main line, while the p. &I.
N. will be the north and south artery,
supplying an outlet in all directions.
In view of the announcement from
St. Paul that the Hill interests state
that they will expent $40, 100000 in
railroad building within the next two
years, the statements regarding this as
well as the Salmon City road, does
not look unreasonable.
Word has been received here not
only from newspaper reports, but
from a well authenticated source, that
their is great activity between two R.
k. companies supposed to be the Har-
riman and Hill factions at or near
Salmon City, Idaho, both companies
having large surveying outfits coming
down the Salmon River, and in view
OF the fact that contracts have been
let tor certain construction work in
the Salmon City country by those con-
tending companies and long tunnels
cutting the great continental divide at
Lemhi pass are now being projected,
1t is reasonable to suppose that the
great railroads of the country are seek
ing the water grades as rapidly as pos
slble and that it is practically an as
sured fact that it will not be long be-
fore there will be railroad down the
Salmon river and when it comes it
will open up many of the great min
ing districts of this county that have
lain idle SO long on account of the
lack of transportation, especially the
great Buffalo Hump district which
will be within less than ten miles of
the railroad down the Salmon. l. is
admitted by all, that this camp with
transportation would make one of the
greatest mining camps in the north
west and as has been frequently SAID,
this camp with transportation would
make a second Butte" Not only the
Buffalo Hump would be benefited by
railroad down the Salmon river, but
there are many mining districts that
would be rapidly brought to the front
with cheap transportation. The peo-
pie of Idaho county can well rejoice
over the prospect Of the road that will
do SO much toward opening up the
great mineral resources of the coun-
try as we'll as other great benefits it
will bring to this section.

Fair Committee Gets Busy.

The committee appointed Tuesday
evening by the Commercial Club to
secure a desirable tract of forty acres
for grounds for a permanent county
fair, has allowed no grass to grow
under its feet. Already the refusal
has been secured on four desirable
tracts and at the same time the COM
mittee has found that the sentiment of
the community is decidedly in favor
of the movement, and it is safe to say
that when it reports back that i'm
mediate steps will be taken to
organize a county fair association,
which is expected to include leading
citizens from over the entire county
as stockholders. This is certainly
quick work and is a move in the right
direction.

Joseph A. Coverly and Walter and
t. Ralph Pittock arrived here last

Grangeville to have School of Art.

After discovering the presence of a
distinguished eastern artist in our midst.
the lovers of the fine arts became
jealous to take advantage of the op-
portunlty for art instruction and have
beselged the artist with requests to
conduct school of art during his stay
in the city. He has finally consented
to do this and will devote two days
each week. Monday and Tuesday,
the remainder of the week will be de-
voted to his own study and work of
placing this country on canvass.
To those unfamiliar with the cir
cumstanceS it will be of interest to
state that Mr.. Galbraith has devoted
his entire life to the study of art, and
has been graduated with honors from
the highest schools of America. Dur
ing his work at the Pennsylvania Mus
cum School of Art, he received the
first prize in the annual competition
in painting Nude from life.
The presence of SO distinguished
an artist in our community affords an
exceptional opportunity FOR instruction.
Mr.. Galbraith will commence classes
in all branches of art study, Pen and
Ink sketching, charcoal work, studies
preparatory to News Paper and Mag
azine Illustration and Cartooning,
Clay Modelling, Artistic Card writing,
and painting in oil.
Mr.. Galbraith is strictly an artist
and refuses to do other than the art
instruction and has left the organiza-
ton of the classes and the listing of
the students wholly with DIR. Green.
Those desiring to register in any of
the above classes should see DR.. Green
at once.
Classes will begin Monday morn
ing June 14th, at 9 o'clock at Mr.
Galbraith' Studio in the Grabski build

PRAISE IDAHO BUILDING
I.us Salute Gov. With IL Guns
and "Star Spangled Banner"

Last Wednesday was denominated
idaho Day on Puget Sound" be-
cause of the special honors conferred
mon this states chief executive and
his staff at the hands of the exposition
officials and prominent personages of
other states, as well as the unusual
honor extended by the Japanese Rear
Admiral Ijichi.
Gov. Brady who returned to Boise
last Friday is highly pleased with the
reception accorded himself and staff
at the opening of the great Alaska
Yukon-Paci6c exposition, aud the
special honors conferred upon the
Gem State thereby.
Why Idaho should be singled out
for special honors might be question
with some, but to those who under
stand that our state is recognized
throughout the east as the coming
state Of the northwest, and that in the
governor of our state we have hust-
Ter, an untiring worker who insists
upon keeping our state and its excep-
tional advantages constantly in the
lime light, it is no great mystery.
Gov. Brady was called upon with
out warning to respond to the address
Of welcome by Gov. Hay to the many
distinguished guests from all parts OF
the United States at a banquet which
was the opening event of the great
fair, and did SO in such an effective
manner, in an impromptu speech full
Of wit and humor, as to win the ap-
probation and hearty applause of the
prominent guests.
The governor and staff were honor
ed guests of the battleship Tennessee,
and from there were escorted to the
japanese warship Aso, where they
were received by Rear Admiral Ijichi,
while the band played America,
and the Stars and Stripes were raised
along side of the Japanese banner.
On departure of the Idahoans the
band played The Star Spangled Ban
ner,' and salute of II guns was
hred BY the flagship, and unprecident-
ed tribute under the circumstances.
lhe governor is enthusiastic over
the outlook for the exposition, and
says but for the unfavorable weather
on opening day, all records for ex-
position attendance would have been
broken. AS it was over "a, 600 pass

the governor says:
The Idaho building is gem, and
believe, has received more compli-

STATE LANDS SOLD HIGH.
A Large Crowd attended the Land Sale
Saturday. Bidding Spirited.

AT the state land sale, held at the
court house in this city last Saturday.
by State Land Commissioner Geo. A.
Day, large crowd was in attendance
the court room being crowded to its
full capacity, and the bidding was
prompt and at times quite spirited
MIR Day announced at the start that
there would be no dallying, and he en-
forced this rule to the very letter, with
the result that the sale of $40. .Oo8
worth of land was made in something
like three hours. The total number
OF acres disposed of by the state was
1850, making an average of S21. o6
per acre. There were FIVE tracts left
unsold, including a body of 312 Sec
tons near White Bird, on which a
grazing lease was held, and which the
state insisted upon selling in a body.
Owing to water privileges, which
could be protected in no other manner.
Somethids like eight sections of graz
ing land were leased by 0. B. Can
field and R. P. Nash, of White Bird,
for teemselve and neighbors at 719
cents per acre, and ]. R. Adkison
and son Loyal, and Jones s. Behean
leased about 5000 acres. The parties
purchasing land and the amounts
paid for same are given below:

Another admirable feature about the
 gift is it's lack of really sensational pro-
 portions We recall with interest at this
 time the damor of unkind criticism, the
 sinister suggestion of scandal that was
 set afioat when the Hon. John Raines,
 colleague, friend. co-worRer of the Hon.
 Thomas F. Grady. met with n1isfor-
 tune at rural race track. At that time
 the Canandaigua Cincinnatus was parted
 from a number of thousands of dollars.
 Instantly the unjust clamor began, ''Where did he ct it?" Estimates of the length of time requisite to save this
 sum from an annual salary of $1500, the ridiculous stipend of statesman, were printed in public places. Not until tho dean of the Senate took the unsympa- thetc public into h.s confidence and dis
 closed his run of good luck in Wall street did the affair finally sink into de- served silence.
 from the Grady gift. Add to the s150o
 salary he draws from a grateful people
 the mileage received from the same
 source and it instantly appears that he
 will retain above S1100 to meet the mod est requirements of his simple life; far more than the average income of his constituency we venture to assert. It may be that some ill-advsed constituent will complain at the def1ection from the home district of this donation. may sug- gest that charity begins at home. and the Giants are at present not undeserving object of charity. at least. But we think this will not be permanent. Such gen. erosity cannot fail to enhance the metro- politan reputation in remote parts, and i thus partake of the general nature of a
 contribution for foreign missionary work.

 The veterans are loud in their praise of the kindly hospitality of the people of Memphis and state they thoroughly enjoyed their visit. The only discord was as to who should head the delegation Bill Hanes objected to being called "Un- cie Billy and said his distinguished ap- pearanee and martial air entitled him to be called Colonel" l. P. Guy said as he had the largest body and a voice in pro- portion, that honor should fall to him. w. w.

Among baseball enthusiasts, moreover, the country over, the spectacle of statesman contributing not 1.-the, not miserable 10 per cent, but almost full third of his income to the support of the great American game will have good effect It will not unnaturally rebound to his credit but this is incidental What is more important is that it will set a new high water mark in the gentle art of giving wisely, prudently. but withal abundantly Let Andrew Carnegie, for example. but go few steps along the trail Senator Grady has so brilliantly blazed; let him give to the local teams not a third, not a tenth but say 1 per cent of his wealth. and all fandom will be ahame and the pennant be our per petual possession.
 Senator Grady has again vindicated the wisdom of his constituents. repndi- ated the ridiculous cavilings of the Git izens' union and once more written his mark upon the page of present states manship and future history.
