Altogether it was one of the most en-

it makes men think along lines hereto

a success and so much interest mani

LEWISTON A SEAPORT.

LEWISTON, Ida. Feb lin May
the extensive work which has received
the attention of the federal govern
ment for years at Cello on the Column
bia river involving the construction of
what is known as the Cello canal will
be completed at cost to the gov
ernment of approximately s5,O0O,O00.
The completion of this work will en-
able boats from the sea of capacity up
to four hundred tons to make the run
to Lewiston approximately five hun
dred miles inland, while similar dis
tances can be reached on the upper
Columbia. The consummation of the
work has been viewed as being of
such vast industrial Importance to the
entire northwest that all of the cities
located upon and tributary to the Col
umbia and Snake have joined in the
celebration plan. The initial feature
of which will be held at Lewiston,
Idaho, on May Srd when large fleet
OF river boats will assemble after hav-
ing made the run through the canal
from the lower river. The celebration
will be unofficially under the auspices
of the war department of the federal
government as the river work is car
ried out under that branch of the gov
ernment The governors of the four
northwest states have signified their
intention of attending, with the pres
ence assured also of scores of United
States senators and representatives,
the rivers and harbors committee of
congress and men of like prominence
Of large Industrial commercial organi-
zation. A tentative feature of the pro-
gram provides for excursions to the
sea from Lewiston at the conclusion of
the celebration here. The interest dis
played throughout the four states
places the completion of the Cello
10 follow in the way of waterpower de-
on the upper river streams
Is the greatest industrial development
n the history of the north Pacific re-
zion. and conditions indicate the larg-
.st gathering of prominent men of the
lation ever held in the northwest.
The completion of the Cello canal
It this time just when the great Pan
ina waterway is to be placed in serv

interests an additional prominence and |
'ast benefits it is felt are to accrue
through opportunity to direct the at

In planning the celebration, Lewis
on is cooperating with the CONNER

regard for womanhood, ! deem it my
duty to express some of my free

After spending several years in

grieved and much surprised to know
that some of the Northern states
have so unjustly condemned our fair

people of all classes and I am sure
that SIS per cent. are strong for you.
You are warning people who are
heedlessly drifting down stream un-

the ending Of your trial and with
pleasure I note that right won in

NEVADA DAY AT THE

as Nevada Day at the San Francisco
Exposition, according to information
received by George T. Mills, exposition
director. Mills says the date was Sc
cured through the efforts of the Elks
and Travellers Protective association.
He was in Reno yesterday for the pur-
pose of arranging the details in con
~nection with railroad rates and other
matters.
Mills SAYS indications are there will
be a big crowd of Nevada people pres
ent when the Nevada Day exercises
take place. Governor Boyle and most
of the state officials have signihed
their intention of attending and Mills
saws the attendance will be large from
Elko, Humboldt and other counties IN
the state. Arrangements are being
made with the Exposition authorities
for some special features to be provit +
ed on Nevada Day.

MISSOURI OBJECTS TO
NEVADA QUARANTINE

In old Missouri they are up in arms
against Nevada, says the Carson News,
and Yesterday the governor of the
state of Nevada received a telegram
from the acting governor Of the state
OF Missouri as follows:
ITO the Governor of Nevada:
] have called the Missouri board Of
agriculture to meet to formulate quar-
antine barring all hogs, cattle and
sheep, shipped from Nevada to Mis-
seuri. This action is based on the the
DRY that you have good reasons for
maintaining prohibitive quarantine
against Missouri livestock, and that
there is an equally good reason for
VIM. r. PAINTER,
Acting Governor
This means that the Missourians
want the Nevadans to take the quar-
antine off of the Missouri cattle but
this the Nevadans will not do until
the people of the "Show Me- state
arc able to show us that they are
freed from all foot and mouth dis
ease. The report is common that the
disease still exists in Missouri and the
governor of Nevada is not going to let
il get a foothold here. The quarantine
against Nevada is an attempt of Mis-
souri, to spank this state because we
dc not want our cattle diseased. There
are not many of Nevada hogs or cat
tie shipped to Missouri and conse-
%quently the quarantine will affect us
little, if any.

NOTHING MORE TO DO
UNTIL NEXT WEEK

Inst after we mad finished running
off the paper last week a cheerful par
tv remarked: "Well, the paper is out.
You can take it easy for a few days,
cans you?'
Yep, nothing 1t all to do. Ab-so-
ILOOT-lv nothing Once the paper IS
printed. all any editor has to do is to
sit around watching the little bills
come due. and gently shaking his mon
ey bush until enough dollars drop OH
RI nav those. these or them bills. When
the editor is not running off his paper
his favorite pastime is to recline on a
| divan. smoking a fine ~full-favored
| Clora de Lima cigar, and watching the
subscribers struggling to get on his
list and pay the furtherest in advance.
II he becomes ongwayed he puts out
his cigar. slips it in his pocket and
saunters nonchalantly down the boule-
ward de Main, just to hear the mer-
chants clamor for additional space, as
with tears in their eyes they dog his
footsteps. And the way news hunts up
the editor is pleasant TO contemplate
When the paper is OUT the editor goes
n his desk. leans back in his chair,
looks wise and waits till the day be
fore the next press day, when the peo-
pie line up in front of his office and
then file past his desk and tell him all
of the news of the week. He writes
IL up in fifteen minutes and hangs II
Ion the hook. The compositors shake the
copy over the cases, say a few mystic
words and the type flies into place
and after a few passes by the foreman
the forms are ready for the press again
and the editor goes down and deposits
the money in the bank. It's the great
est SNAP in the catalogue. Now, If thu
editor could only do away with press
days, his joys would be complete.-Ex
